Louis stared curiously at the pig's head, then turned to Wen Sihe and asked, "Why is this pig's head so clean? Shouldn't it have lots of stiff hair?"
Wen Sihe asked the stall owner to cut off a piece of pig's ear: "Domestic pigs are not like wild boars; their hair is not as tough, and they are plucked beforehand."
They usually choose to roast it over a fire to clean it completely before braising it.
This is pig's tongue, this is pig's ear, and this is pig's large intestine and liver; they're all edible.
To be honest, since Wen Sihe came into this world, he has rarely seen anyone else make braised pork offal like this, apart from himself.
In some hutongs in Beijing, there are people who know how to make it, and it tastes pretty good!
But you really rarely see these kinds of braised meat stalls elsewhere!
When the stall owner on the other side saw Tan Guohua, he excitedly cut him a piece of pig's ear: "Guohua, don't you love eating pig's ears the most?"
"Come on, try some! I added some new braising spices today. Does it taste the same as before?"
Seeing Tan Guohua enjoying his meal, Louis couldn't help but swallow hard. He stopped Wen Sihe from translating and gestured to the owner, indicating that he wanted one too!
For the next half day, Louis sat at the braised meat stall!
Don't be fooled by his sitting there; his head is stretched out as long as a donkey's neck.
Whenever a new food stall opens in the square, he reaches out and pats Tan Guohua next to him!
At first, he was looking for Lu Zhiye, but after he bought things for him twice, he couldn't be bothered with him anymore!
He wanted to order Wen Sihe around, but seeing Lu Zhiye's murderous gaze, he could only silently look at Tan Guohua standing to the side!
And so, Tan Guohua became a gofer without even finishing a single serving of pig's ear.
He has now mastered a skill that allows him to run over immediately at Louis's mere glance!
Many of the people at those stalls were female textile factory workers.
After they get off work, some of them, relying on their skills, think about setting up a stall to earn some money for their families!
When they saw who Tan Guohua was giving the gifts to, they all said that these things were given to this little foreigner for free!
Tan Guohua insisted on paying, and only then did the others reluctantly give up!
By the time Louis left the small square, his stomach was completely full.
He was still somewhat reluctant to leave: "Do these people come to set up their stalls every day?"
Wen Sihe also learned about the plaza's operating model from her conversations with the stall owners.
This square was jointly organized by several state-owned factories, and those who came to set up stalls were basically workers who wanted to supplement their family income.
Or they are family members of unemployed workers!
The square is only so big; where some people make money, others are envious.
Over time, they even got into arguments over a single stall!
Therefore, the major state-owned factories jointly decided to assign fixed stalls to these people.
If the stall operates every other day, the price will be lower.
If you set up a stall every day, you will have to bear all the costs of the stall!
Most of them are employees and don't have the energy to set up a stall every day!
Therefore, many people choose to come once a day!
Wen Sihe explained softly, and Louis asked with a look of regret, "Then, do you come to that braised meat stall every day?"
During their conversation, the braised meat stall was mentioned most often, and Tan Guohua also figured out how it tasted.
He quickly said to Wen Sihe, "The braised meat stall owner sets up his stall every day."
He's a master chef at the meat processing plant; he usually finishes sorting the meat by noon, and then he comes to set up his stall whenever he has free time in the afternoon!
Louis grinned when he heard that the braised meat stall was open every day!
"Then I'll come back here to eat tomorrow!"
And so, the original plan to return to Beijing in two days ended up being delayed for more than a week because of Louis's gluttony!
Louis didn't think much of it, but it terrified several major textile factories in Beijing.
They also sent someone to check, and when they learned that Louis had placed a large order at the Second Textile Factory, people from several major textile factories in Beijing quickly joined together for a meeting.
The factory manager of the First Textile Factory sat in the head seat. Even without Louis's orders, the factory still held the top position!
So he wasn't worried at all, and leisurely sat there drinking tea!
This really worried the people at the other major factories!
Director Li of the Beijing No. 2 Textile Factory preemptively remarked, "The Lincheng No. 2 Textile Factory is utterly shameless! They're actually trying to drum up business in Beijing???"
Once someone speaks up, others will chime in.
People from several other factories chimed in, "That's right. Before he came to solicit orders, didn't he ever consider that Louis was our customer?"
Or do these textile factories in Lincheng think their textile technology surpasses ours?
The person who said this was a bald man with glasses on his nose. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He was a shrewd man who knew how to speak in a way that would bring everyone to the same side!
As expected, everyone was so angry when they heard him say that they slammed their fists on the table.
“This is simply outrageous. When our major factories are overwhelmed with orders, we usually push them to Lincheng, which is closest to us.”
Now you've raised a thankless wretch?!
The factory manager of the First Textile Factory simply found these people's words ridiculous.
However, he did not rush to express his opinion, but calmly listened to the discussion!
They shouted for over half an hour, their faces flushed, before gradually calming down and turning to look at Director Wang, who was sitting at the head of the table!
"Old Wang, do you think we're right?"
This Lincheng Textile Factory is actually trying to steal our orders right under our noses! They're completely disregarding us, and even more so, the First Textile Factory!
Upon hearing that the incident involved the First Textile Factory, Director Wang slowly put down his teacup: "Old Yu, I was called here by you this time. To be honest, I'm not interested in this incident at all!"
But since you insist that I express my opinion, I'll share my thoughts.
He looked up at a young man standing at the door. The young man understood and immediately took out a stack of papers from his bag and distributed them to everyone.
"You can take a look; these are the design drawings for the Lincheng Second Textile Factory."
Hmph, it seems ordinary, but it actually hides a secret.
The fact that Louis was willing to take a liking to his shipment shows that they have something to offer.
To be fair, Louis requested a delivery time of within half a month. Could you produce textiles of this quality in half a month?
If you can, and also ensure that your skills are further improved, you can definitely try to sell it to Louis!
But if that's not possible, you can't blame the Lincheng Second Textile Factory; they earn their living through their own abilities.
The design drawings were in color, and as everyone flipped through them, they could see the differences!
Factory Director Li remained lost in thought for a long time while holding the blueprints, until someone next to him nudged him, bringing him back to his senses.
