Chapter 241 Improve processes and increase production!
“This particle is too big. Anyone who knows a little about spices can easily tell which spices we used.”
"These granules are too fine. Look at this lotus root, it's covered with spices, which really affects the taste."
"This is alright, but the flavor seems a bit too strong; you can't taste the original flavor of the ingredients."
"......"
After tasting the last bowl of braised meat from the noodle soup, Xu An shook his head for the eighth time, put down his chopsticks, and looked at the somewhat nervous Zhang Dezhen and his wife, saying, "The direction is correct, but the approach seems to be a bit off. It's getting late, let's leave it at that for tonight and try again tomorrow night."
Zhang Dezhen's wife moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say anything. After saying goodbye to Xu An, she turned around and began to clean up the kitchen.
"What's wrong? Did you just think of something?" Zhang Dezhen and his wife had been married for many years and were very familiar with each other's actions and reactions. Naturally, he did not miss his wife's change in expression.
"Do you remember that shop in our town that specializes in selling braised food? Their braised food tastes so good that many people go there specifically to buy it for holidays and festivals. Every time they make braised food, it tastes the same!"
"Oh dear, I didn't even remember if you hadn't mentioned it. There really was such a thing." After suddenly realizing, Zhang Dezhen asked with a puzzled look, "What does this have to do with us? Our braised dishes taste so good, we don't need their spice packets."
Upon hearing Yan Peiwen's words, Yan Peiwen's wife felt her teeth clench, and a feeling of disappointment and frustration rose in her heart.
Tsk tsk tsk —
"Oh, oh, Boss Yan, the time just broke, you've arrived a little early." Although the man spoke politely, he had been offering constant advice when they were drinking in Beitun Town.
The moment the powder came into contact with the brine, the kitchen was filled with a rich aroma.
"This Zhang Dezhen, does he know even less about this hot spring?"
I had drunk quite a bit in Beitun Town, and my bladder was throbbing with the urge to urinate. Before greeting the bosses, I staggered toward the restroom. Just as I loosened my belt, pulled up my pants, and finished urinating, a middle-aged man slowly slipped into the restroom and stood at the urinal next to Beitun Town's. While loosening his belt, he asked a question.
I glanced at the person next door. Although I could not see the person's face clearly, I had a vague feeling that he was an acquaintance. Beitun Town immediately told me everything he knew, including the most sordid conflict between me and Zhang Dezhen.
The bald man on the right side of the main table only works with hotels below seven stars, specializing in providing them with low-end ingredients. As for the seafood he buys himself, like mud crabs, if a single one weighs less than four ounces, people won't even give it a second glance.
"Mr. Zhang is really unlucky!" Upon hearing this, Beitun Town suddenly stood up, poured himself a full glass of wine, raised it to the man with the rooster-like head, and drank it all in one gulp before continuing, "Mr. Zhang's hometown used to be a tourist hotspot!"
Without the amusement of Beitun Town, the young man suffered a terrible fate and drank a bitter pill.
"Sigh!" Beitun Town sighed heavily: "That mudflat has been contracted out! The hot spring is also within their contracted area. The contract is for almost seventy years, and the government may be able to take it back under duress."
Upon hearing this, Yan Peiwen's wife breathed a sigh of relief, then punched Yan Peiwen's arm twice with her big fist: "You actually teased me about something so important, you're asking for it!"
"Now you know, tourism development really makes money, much more than what we earn running factories, fishing, or selling fish back home!"
"This Xujia Village, its development only ended in mid-April, and in just one month, its revenue has already decreased by 40 million! Go and see Xujia Village now, the roads are under construction everywhere, and they're both small and wide; all the houses are being renovated, and the renovations are low-end, stingy, and cheap; shops are opening one after another, all kinds of barbecue restaurants, seafood specialty restaurants, seafood product shops..."
"That hasn't happened yet. How come I've heard of it? The conditions aren't that bad. Why is the Houhai Town government rushing to develop it?" The bald man on the left asked a series of questions with a puzzled look.
My husband is bad in every way. He's not overly honest and straightforward, and he's also very methodical and quick to draw inferences. Even after I'd said all that, he still managed to understand what I meant...
Even Yan Peiwen, who was already used to that smell, couldn't help but take two deep breaths, give his wife a thumbs up, and praise her, "Wife, his cooking is worse than yours, it tastes even better than yours!"
"...A hot spring source has been discovered on the mudflats, an underwater hot spring, what a gimmick... Our place is quite far from Xujia Village, so after tourists finish playing on the beach in Xujia Village, they can drive over here to soak in the hot spring, wouldn't that be wonderful... Houhai Town wasn't a well-known hot spring town before..."
"Um?"
A chorus of tsk-tsk sounds immediately filled the private room.
"Does he remember what our family's spice packet looks like?" Yan Peiwen's wife asked gently.
Upon seeing the faces of everyone in the private room, Beitun Town knew that Boss Yu had called him over mainly to fill in the awkward silences for the bosses and, incidentally, to make a good impression on them.
Meng Jiangguan's wife was also a bit of a fussster. She glanced at the time and nodded in agreement. However, when she saw Yan Peiwen preparing the ingredients, she couldn't help but remind him, "Take more. If we try cooking in a big pot, it will break. A bigger pot will cook slower, and we can go home earlier."
