The owner of Jinzunlou Restaurant is surnamed Su.
Upon hearing this, Manager Su turned his head and saw that there was indeed an extra wooden bucket on the delivery truck that day.
His eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly went to greet her, while taking care of the shop assistants to move the goods and asking Wan Shu questions.
"I wonder what new dishes Miss Wan brought today? Are you planning to distribute them in the restaurants of the county town?"
Wan Shu nodded: "We don't have enough manpower at home, so we can only do distribution. As for what the new dishes are, Manager Su, you'll know after you see them."
Dazhu brought in a separate wooden bucket containing sweet and spicy duck offal, opened the lid, and revealed the fragrant braised chicken, duck, and goose offal inside.
Manager Su glanced inside and immediately showed a look of disappointment.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Wan Shu's cooking skills; on the contrary, he knew that the chicken, duck, and goose offal in that wooden bucket must be a rare delicacy.
But no matter how delicious it is, it's still braised food, it's still offal!
The reason why crayfish, which have more shells than meat, can still sell well is because of their unique flavor, which is different from the taste of other meats in Da Sheng Chao.
As for chicken, duck, and goose offal... obviously, the people of the Great Sheng Dynasty ate it frequently and wouldn't find it strange.
Furthermore, the braised dishes already include a portion of pork offal.
Since pork offal is delicious and affordable, who would abandon pork offal to buy chicken, duck, or goose offal, which is basically just bones?
Wan Shu immediately noticed the disappointment in Manager Su's eyes, but she wasn't in a hurry to explain.
People say seeing is believing, but when it comes to food, you still have to put it in your mouth to eat.
Wan Shu used clean wooden tongs to pick out a few pieces of sweet and spicy duck parts, smiling broadly: "Manager Su, why don't you try the new dish first?"
After all, Wan Xiaoniangzi had been cooperating with them for quite some time, and she had even helped them get rid of Liu Liang.
Despite his disappointment, Manager Su still put on a very stern face and put a piece of duck wing into his mouth.
Almost as soon as he put it in his mouth, Manager Su was surprised by the sweetness of the duck wing.
He thought to himself, "Has Miss Wan gone mad? This is meat, not dessert, why is it so sweet!"
But soon, the spiciness of the duck wings returned, a delightful blend of sweet and spicy, with an indescribable aroma that made Manager Su want to eat more and more.
It was just a duck wing with not much meat, but he ate it to his heart's content, smacking his lips repeatedly.
And, out of control, he picked up a goose head and started gnawing on it.
Wan Shu found it amusing and suggested, "Why don't you order some more wine, Manager Su?"
"Pork offal has a strong braised flavor and no bones, making it suitable for eating with rice. Sweet and spicy duck offal, on the other hand, has a prominent sweet and spicy flavor, with more bones and less meat, making it suitable for drinking with alcohol, like crayfish, and can be a better substitute for crayfish."
Manager Su's eyes lit up: "It's not just a good replacement, this flavor is unheard of in the entire Great Sheng Dynasty. I believe that once it is launched, it will definitely cause a bloodbath and bring a lot of customers to our Golden Goblet Restaurant!"
When it comes to attracting customers, Manager Su immediately thought of his current predicament.
He rubbed his hands together, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Miss Wan, could you postpone the distribution of this sweet and spicy duck for a while?"
Wan Shu: "Why is that?"
Manager Su recounted the inside scoop he had received the previous night to Wan Shu.
"I was thinking that when Yu Mantang reopens, we can launch sweet and spicy duck products, so that Yu Mantang won't steal too many customers."
Wan Shu: "How long will it take before Yu Mantang reopens?"
Manager Su: "It will take about a month. Please wait a little longer, Miss Wan."
Manager Su seemed to remember something and quickly added, "Don't worry! I will definitely not let you wait for this whole month in vain. During this month, in addition to the payment for the goods, I will give Miss Wan an extra ten taels of silver, how about that?"
If Wan Shu and his group had sold duck products a month earlier, they could have earned more than ten taels of silver.
However, since they are building a house now and crayfish are not completely out of season yet, if they want to sell them immediately, they will have to prepare three different dishes every day.
Not only is it too strenuous, but building a house is also prone to problems.
It would be better to accept the ten taels of silver and use it to buy a few acres of wasteland to cultivate.
Wan Shu thought about it briefly and then agreed.
Dazhu had no objection to Wanshu's decision, but he looked at the forty-pound duck meat in the wooden bucket and was somewhat troubled.
"If we postpone the sale, then we can't send the remaining duck products to other restaurants today, and we can't finish eating so many."
Upon hearing this, Manager Su laughed heartily: "That's easy! These braised dishes are so delicious, I'll buy them all! Consider it a treat for my staff!"
"Oh, right, I almost forgot to ask, Miss Wan, how much does sweet and spicy duck cost per pound?"
Wan Shu had already decided: "It will still be forty coins per catty."
Unlike crayfish, duck products don't need to be deep-fried, and their cost is not as high as that of pork offal.
This price is a bit expensive compared to crayfish and pork offal, but Manager Su knows that it's all worth it for this taste!
Without hesitation, he agreed and bought all the duck products.
Wan Shu and his team were happy to relax. After delivering the goods and receiving payment, they found a shop that specialized in selling blue bricks.
The year is bad, everyone is poor, and few families build houses with blue bricks. The shop is very quiet, and the shopkeeper is starting to doze off.
It wasn't until Wan Shu called out "Manager" that the manager suddenly snapped out of his daze and warmly greeted her.
"Sir, what would you like to buy?"
Besides the blue bricks, the shop also has a lot of furniture and other things needed for building houses.
Wan Shujian said in a concise and cryptic tone: "I want to buy blue bricks. Shopkeeper, take a look and tell me how many blue bricks I need, according to the blueprints?"
Wan Shu took out a drawing she had worked on overnight.
She used to run a business and repaired many shops and factories. With the help of the system, although her drawings weren't very good, they were still clear and concise.
The picture shows a spacious two-courtyard house with blue bricks and tiles. The house is very spacious, and the yard is also large, with a large plot of land for planting flowers and vegetables. There are also several livestock sheds next to it for raising chickens, ducks and geese.
It's rare to see such a large brick and tile house built these days. This is a big client we can't let slip by!
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up instantly, and he replied enthusiastically, "Based on my many years of experience, a courtyard this size would require approximately seventy to eighty thousand bricks."
Wan Shu then asked, "How much does a brick cost?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Two bricks for one coin."
Wan Shu did the math in her head and was immediately alarmed.
Two bricks for one coin, and if we buy 80,000 bricks, that's forty taels!
This is more expensive than she imagined!
