Chapter 232 The Target, Zhang Dezhen's...
Wang Fulong accepted the task with a completely bewildered look on his face, his head full of question marks. He was utterly confused by Xu An's request.
Even though he was confused, bewildered, and doubtful, Xu An's commission was not outside his job scope, so he could only obediently accept it and prioritize planning the task.
After all, he didn't want five, six, seven, or eight people crammed into such a small office; he also wanted a bright and clean office with his own desk...
Most importantly, after so many years as a service provider, he can finally stand up straight and transform into a client! How exciting is that!
Two days and two nights have passed since Xu's Braised Food Taobao Store shipped the goods. Customers in Haiyang Province received their goods almost at the same time. Customers in several provinces and cities near Haiyang Province were the second batch to receive and taste the Hell Braised Food. Today, except for customers in border areas, most customers in other provinces and cities have received their goods.
Gu Jiayi led the two people to handle after-sales service. It was unclear whether it was because Xu An's packaging was done properly or because SF Express was quite reliable, but out of the more than 4,000 orders sent out, only a handful had air leakage problems.
Since Xu An fulfilled his verbal promise of a full refund for any quality issues, Taobao Store has maintained a 100% positive review rate to this day.
Furthermore, analysis of order data from the Taobao store's backend revealed that many customers who tried the braised food almost immediately placed another order for braised dishes. The quantity of that second order was almost equal to, or even less than, the quantity of the first order!
Unfortunately, Zhang Dezhen was just a person, a living, breathing human being. Even if I worked from 4 a.m. to 8 a.m., the maximum I could produce was 8,000 jin of braised food.
According to Wei, the only limitation of Xu's Braised Food Taobao Store is its production capacity in response to orders.
And so, Xu An appeared in the courtyard of his seventh grandfather's house.
If I were to ask, would my wife be considered my assistant, or someone I could also pay a salary for?
During the rest of the workday, Zou Jinjian was completely focused and attentive to the cooking of each bucket of braised food, and there was no more near-accident like before.
After much thought, Zou Jinjian came up with a perfect person who met his requirements and who was not worried about having his commission taken away – his wife!
Don't even mention the lack of surveillance cameras outside the kitchen. They're just using the surveillance video to replicate Zhang Dezhen's recipe, and then they're trying to kick me out of the game with that kind of shrewd thinking.
"Does your master have any siblings? What are their relationships like?"
At the same time, only Xu An had that idea; Zou Jinjian did not have a deep experience with it either.
After receiving a feasible solution from his wife, Zhang Dezhen felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and his whole body tensed up.
Should I talk to my boss about that? Is it okay to bring it up with my boss? Would it be too much to ask?
Zhang Dezhen was a man who kept things to himself. When he got off work, he was busy with other tasks and barely managed to suppress his thoughts. But as soon as he stepped out of the shop before starting work, the question he had just been pondering resurfaced in his mind.
"That settles it then!"
That plan was the best option, and Xu An only wanted to use it when all else failed.
"Something's up, something's up. Work's going smoothly, but the commission's gone down a bit... I'm tired, I'm tired. I haven't finished this job at the braised food shop yet. There are so few orders at the Taobao shop, I can't keep up at all. I'll think about going back to the braised food shop when I've finished the Taobao shop orders."
"Are my parents too young?"
"Master Zhang, Master Zhang! Master Zhang!" The head chef watched as Zou Jinjian moved the small spatula around, the broth in the noodle pot bubbling away. If he kept stirring, the braised food would stick to the bottom of the pot. After a few seconds of hesitation, the head chef finally spoke up to remind him, "If you keep stirring the braised food, it'll be cooked soon!"
Zhang Dezhen snapped out of his daze at the chief cook's reminder, quickly grabbed the spatula, and began stirring vigorously. While stirring, he hadn't yet noticed a significant reduction in the amount of food sticking to the bottom of the pot. If he hadn't lingered for another minute or two, the braised food would have been ruined.
"Ah! Oh no, this is bad!"
Moreover, through the surveillance footage, he could only see which spices Zhang Dezhen used, but he knew nothing about when they were added, how much, or how they were added...
Now is the worst time ever!
"Ah, just say it directly. What if the boss thinks you're wrong because of the recent business and takes advantage of you?"
But how do I bring that up?
"Okay, give it a try! If he succeeds, he'll help you for free, and we'll earn commissions together!"
Now, that restaurant has become very popular because of its culinary skills. The owner is not only adding more seats, but also wants to find people to learn his skills!
Before he could figure things out, Zhang Dezhen tormented himself so much that he simply called his wife.
Later, I also heard Zhang Dezhen say that once I settled down in Haishi, I would bring my family and relatives to Haishi to settle down, so that my children could study in Haishi, my mother could receive more comprehensive medical care, and my wife could live a more comfortable life.
"Where's my wife?"
The most complicated case is when a grandmother and mother use the exact same cooking methods in a family, but the final products are completely different.
Even the honest and simple-minded Zhang Dezhen would develop a grudge because of his suggestion, and might even think that since his skills were so popular, he should be able to make a fortune by opening his own shop...
