He Yang felt hotter and hotter as he ate, and he started sweating. This hot pot was perfect for winter. He wiped his sweat and said softly, "That's Manager Luo's voice. Did he smell it and come here?"
"It should be."
After saying that, she turned towards the door and said, "Come in!"
As soon as Manager Luo entered the door, a spicy aroma wafted towards him, causing him to unconsciously swallow a few times.
Yu Zhizhi noticed this and asked, "Want some?"
Manager Luo was surprised by her keen observation. "Hmm!"
"Okay," Yu Zhizhi replied calmly.
Upon hearing this, Manager Luo was overjoyed and quickly sat down next to He Yang with a smile, thinking to himself: This young lady is so generous!
However, just as he was about to offer his praise, he suddenly froze.
Yu Zhizhi stretched out one hand and held it straight in front of him, saying, "Give me the money!"
All right……
Manager Luo silently swallowed the words that were about to come out.
"I just wanted to try it."
At this moment, He Yang chimed in, "You have to pay for tasting too."
Manager Luo was completely speechless. He pointed to the plate of meat slices on the table, which they had almost finished eating, and asked, "How much was this meat slice?"
"This is top-quality fatty beef, 20 coins."
Shopkeeper Luo felt cheated. "There aren't many pieces of meat left on this plate. How could it be worth this price?"
However, Yu Zhizhi ignored him and turned to look at He Yang across from her, "Have you had your fill of the fatty beef?"
He Yang shook his head, "I can never get enough of eating!"
They sang in unison.
Manager Luo was completely defeated and took out twenty coins from his sleeve and handed them to Yu Zhizhi.
He swore he would only eat this one serving of beef, and leave immediately after finishing it, and not expect him to take out any more money.
However, he was soon proven wrong.
Good heavens! The sliced beef tastes so delicious and tender after being cooked in the hot pot, with a rich buttery aroma filling the entire mouth.
Fatty He was right.
We can't get enough to eat!
"Sell me another plate of meatballs."
"Give me another serving of duck intestines, mushrooms, and lettuce slices..."
In just a quarter of an hour, Manager Luo had already given Yu Zhizhi more than a hundred coins. If the ingredients hadn't already been eaten, he probably would have wanted to take out several hundred more coins.
This hot pot meal was so satisfying!
Based on his years of experience, the soul of this hot pot is definitely the red, spicy broth.
When duck intestines, pig blood, and tripe are briefly boiled in this broth, they not only lose all their fishy smell but also release a unique aroma that leaves a lasting impression.
Even the bland vegetables become more delicious after being bathed in this magical broth.
If our Fuju Restaurant were to launch hot pot, it would definitely be a huge hit; Manager Luo became more and more excited as he thought about it, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"Miss Yu, no, Miss Yun, I would like to discuss a business deal with you."
His voice was full of sincerity and expectation.
Yu Zhizhi took a small sip of the inexpensive peach blossom wine, savoring the faint floral fragrance and the slightly tipsy feeling. A slight smile played on her lips as she looked at the man before her, silently trying to decipher his intentions.
"oh?"
She asked softly, "Do you want to buy a hot pot recipe?"
“Miss Yun is so clever; she guessed what I was thinking right away. I won’t beat around the bush with you anymore. Our Fuju Restaurant is willing to offer one thousand taels to buy out the hot pot recipe.”
He said this with great confidence, seemingly thinking that the price was already very generous.
Seeing his confident look, Yu Zhizhi thought to herself: He's trying to trick her again, no way!
To think you can buy out the recipe for a thousand taels is wishful thinking. Don't think she doesn't know that Fuju Restaurant has over thirty branches throughout Chuyun Kingdom. If they all start selling hot pot at the same time, they can recoup their investment in less than seven days.
Did you think she was in dire need of the thousand taels of silver now that she was down on her luck?
She needed money, but one thousand taels was definitely not her ideal price.
"Manager Luo, are you sure you can make that decision?" Yu Zhizhi asked, raising an eyebrow.
Manager Luo was secretly delighted.
It seems there's a chance. Whether she's Yu Zhizhi or Yun Zhizhi, she's still so easy to fool.
"Ultimately, it still depends on our boss's decision, but I'll put in a good word for you with him to close this deal," he replied with a smile.
"If you can't make the decisions, what's the point of talking to me?"
"Manager Luo, I'm not the same Yu Zhizhi I used to be. Don't even think about buying out the hot pot recipe for a thousand taels of silver!" Yu Zhizhi said resolutely.
After she finished speaking, she glanced at He Yang and said, "Let's pack up and leave."
"Okay, boss."
Immediately afterwards, He Yang made a face at Manager Luo.
Finally, Manager Luo could only sigh and leave the private room.
I finally earned 100 coins today, but I just spent another 100+ coins on hot pot, so I ended up losing several dozen coins in total.
To make matters worse, the negotiations just now also ended in failure.
Sigh! Yu Zhizhi is so difficult to deal with. It seems I have to write to my employer and ask him to return to the capital as soon as possible. Otherwise, this matter will be very difficult to resolve!
"He Yang, we'll start setting up our stall in seven days, aren't you excited?"
He Yang gave an awkward smile. "Boss, my family doesn't agree to me setting up a stall with you. But I'll do my best to get them to agree within the next seven days."
"Do Uncle He and the others think it's shameful for us to set up a stall?"
He Yang nodded and then shook his head. "A little, but they're more worried that we'll cause trouble again. They said they won't clean up our messes anymore."
