The portions of both dishes were quite large and we ate them directly in the lobby after they were cooked.
Manager Xiang and several other chefs praised the two dishes highly, and Manager Xiang finally believed that his old classmate had not fooled him.
"How much of this sweet potato vermicelli did you bring this time?" I asked the manager immediately after tasting the dish.
"We brought 15 kilograms this time, but we can only give you 5 kilograms at most. If you need sweet potato vermicelli later, you can call the Red Flag Brigade and they will send it to you."
"The price of sweet potato vermicelli is one yuan per pound. Regarding the shipping fee, we have two options. One is that you bear the shipping fee yourself, and the other is that we pay the shipping fee, but the price of the sweet potato vermicelli will be slightly higher by five cents."
"One yuan per pound is too expensive. It's more expensive than meat." He said to the manager.
"Manager Xiang, one pound of our dry sweet potato vermicelli can make three pounds of wet vermicelli. You can divide these three pounds of wet vermicelli into seven portions, which is quite a bargain."
"The main reason is that the cost of our sweet potato vermicelli is high. If it were any cheaper, we wouldn't be able to make any money."
After some thought, Manager Xiang agreed to Yun Yan's price. He chose to pay for the shipping himself. After all, this place wasn't far from Jing County, so he could always find someone to bring them back when he needed them.
Yunyan gave six pounds of sweet potato vermicelli to Manager Xiang and paid on the spot. After receiving the payment, Yunyan quickly took Wang Fang to find the breakfast shop in Hui County, and while he was still there, they wanted to see if they could sell the sweet potato vermicelli.
Yun Yan had already asked the chef of the state-owned restaurant about the location of the breakfast stall in advance. Seeing that time was running out, she pulled Wang Fang there quickly.
Fortunately, the breakfast shop and the state-owned restaurant were not far away, and they arrived there in less than twenty minutes by jogging.
The owner of the breakfast shop didn't quite believe the sweet potato vermicelli that Yun Yan introduced, so she made an appointment with the owner to come early the next morning to help him sell breakfast and see if the sweet potato vermicelli could be sold.
Carrying the remaining sweet potato vermicelli back to the guesthouse, both of them were exhausted. Yunyan felt that the era without bicycles and buses was really inconvenient.
They went to the state-owned restaurant for dinner, and Yunyan went a little late on purpose. After dinner, she used their kitchen to fry the filling for the chive dumplings.
Thinking that they had to get up early the next day, Yun Yan and Wang Fang set the alarm and went to bed.
The alarm clock rang at six o'clock the next morning. Yun Yan quickly got up and turned off the alarm clock. After a while, Wang Fang also got up.
The two of them quickly brushed their teeth and washed their faces, put on their clothes, and left the guesthouse carrying the sweet potato vermicelli.
After arriving at the breakfast shop, Yun Yan asked Wang Fang to make chive dumplings, while she began to prepare the ingredients for soup noodles and spicy and sour sweet potato noodles.
Because Yunyan promised to compensate the boss for his losses in full if the products could not be sold, the boss agreed to their suggestion of making leek boxes.
After the chive dumplings were made, Yunyan and Wang Fang ate two each. After they finished eating, Yunyan gave one to the boss.
"Boss, try it and see if you can sell it."
The breakfast shop owner took a bite skeptically, then his eyes suddenly lit up and he finished the rest of the chive box in two bites.
After eating the chive dumplings, the boss believed Yun Yan and the others. They were indeed delicious. Most importantly, they were new and unique; his breakfast shop was the only one in Hui County that had them.
After seven o'clock, customers came one after another to buy breakfast.
Customers who often come for breakfast saw the new product and ordered some out of curiosity. Mainly because sweet potato vermicelli is cheaper than noodles, they wanted to give it a try.
Whether it's the vegetarian noodle soup, the hot and sour sweet potato noodles, or the chive dumplings, they've all received unanimous praise. Yun Yan and Wang Fang are delighted. The growing recognition means the future of sweet potato vermicelli is limitless.
Finally, the owner of the breakfast shop also asked for two kilograms of sweet potato vermicelli. Yun Yan gave him the recipes for hot and sour noodles and leek boxes, and also gave him a business card, telling him to call directly if the sweet potato vermicelli ran out.
After Yunyan and Wang Fang had breakfast at the breakfast shop, they hurried back to the guesthouse to check out. They had to rush to the next county, Hua County.
After checking out of the hotel, the two went to the station to buy tickets to Hua County. After getting on the bus, Wang Fang excitedly told Yun Yan about her experiences over the past two days.
"Yun Yan, you are so amazing. I admire you very much." Wang Fang said with admiration.
"So when you get to Hua County, do you want to try selling it yourself?"
"Can I? I'm a little scared." Wang Fang was afraid that she would mess things up.
"It's okay. How do you know it won't work if you don't try? Besides, Manager Luo has already contacted the manager of the state-owned restaurant in Hua County. If you just do what I did yesterday, there will be no problem."
Wang Fang thought about it and realized that Manager Luo had indeed informed her in advance about the trip to Hua County. If she still messed things up, it would prove that she was not suitable for this job.
Yun Yan also wanted Wang Fang to gain more experience. After all, the difficulties she would face in the future would be more than what she encountered in Hui County and Hua County.
At three in the afternoon, the two arrived in Hua County. They had also gone to the guesthouse in advance to book a room and store their luggage. After finding out the location of the Hua County state-owned restaurant and breakfast shop, they decided to rest for a while and then go to the state-owned restaurant after six o'clock when there were fewer people.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the two arrived at the state-owned restaurant. After a simple dinner, seeing that there were not many people in the restaurant, Wang Fang asked to see their manager.
Because Manager Luo had informed them in advance, the manager of Hua County State-owned Hotel immediately had them brought to his office.
After a brief introduction, the two sides got down to business. This time, Yun Yan didn't speak, and it was Wang Fang who was communicating with him. At first, Wang Fang was very nervous and even stuttered a little, but later she became more fluent.
This time, Wang Fang went to the kitchen to cook alone, while Yun Yan stayed in the office to chat with Manager Zhang.
"Yun Zhiqing, you are the one that Lao Luo was talking about who sold him sweet potato vermicelli."
"Yes, asking Wang Zhiqing to introduce you this time does not mean to look down on you." Yun Yan explained.
"Actually, I know your true intention. China is so big, it's not easy for you to sell sweet potato vermicelli by yourself."
"So your decision to train helpers ahead of time really makes me look up to you."
Zhang Cheng felt that if the country did not prohibit private business, Yun Yan would definitely be a successful businessman.
"Manager Zhang, you're too kind. I run a small business, and the villagers of Hongqi Brigade trust me so much. I certainly can't let them down."
Twenty minutes later, Wang Fang prepared both dishes. After trying the two dishes, Manager Zhang also decided to cooperate with Yun Yan.
"In addition to state-owned restaurants, I also want to sell your sweet potato vermicelli in department stores."
