Xiao Wenjing sighed softly, pondering to himself.
The ingredients used in this restaurant are all carefully selected! Every dish is made with the chefs' hard work and dedication before it is presented to the customers.
The bamboo shoot dish that everyone disliked might simply not suit most people's tastes.
“Jingchuan’s family, if you’re not confident you can convince the restaurant to buy the bamboo shoots, don’t waste your time.”
"Father, don't worry! I have great confidence in myself. I will definitely persuade the restaurant owner to take our bamboo shoots, and I will even negotiate a good price with him!"
Shen Yunsheng comforted her father-in-law with a smile, her heart filled with confidence.
After all, she's from the future! If she can't even handle something this small, wouldn't she become a laughingstock among those time-traveling predecessors?
She knew that to successfully sell these bamboo shoots, she had to demonstrate her strength and intelligence. Therefore, she decided to use a unique method to attract the restaurant owner's attention.
Just as Xiao Jingchuan was about to speak, Xiao Wanqing interrupted him.
"Sister-in-law, you can try our restaurant."
"Manager Yuan of your restaurant seems to be a decent person. I was just thinking of going over there to try my luck."
Shen Yunsheng had an impression of the restaurant where his sister-in-law worked; it seemed to be called Yunkedu. It was not only a century-old establishment but also the best restaurant in the town.
When his wife was going to Yunke Ferry, Xiao Jingchuan's heart skipped a beat. Yunke Ferry was a place of great significance to him because it was a property he had secretly bought after his rebirth.
If his wife discovers that Yunkedu is related to him, then the secret he has been hiding in his heart will probably be exposed.
"Husband, let's go to Yunke Ferry now." Before Xiao Jingchuan could come to his senses, Shen Yunsheng picked up the basket.
"Wife, how much do you plan to sell these bamboo shoots for per pound?"
After picking up the basket, Xiao Jingchuan asked with a smile.
"What do you think of six coins a pound? Ordinary Chinese cabbage costs three coins a pound, so six coins isn't too high!"
Shen Yunsheng didn't dare to set the price too high. The weather was too hot, and the products would spoil if they didn't sell. She didn't want to work for nothing.
"Six coins a pound isn't expensive. Let's go take a look."
Xiao Jingchuan agreed to go to the restaurant.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Shen Yunsheng did not go directly to the owner, but first observed the surrounding environment and the needs of the customers.
Then, she began asking some guests for their opinions on bamboo shoots. After some conversation, Shen Yunsheng was 100% certain that bamboo shoots were not yet sold in the ancient market.
This is a big cake.
Xiao Jingchuan used the excuse of needing to relieve himself to meet with Manager Yuan in advance, instructing him to conduct business according to normal procedures and not to expose his identity.
Xiao Wanqing had already found out Manager Yuan's whereabouts, so she called her brother and sister-in-law, and together they went to find Manager Yuan.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Manager Yuan's study.
Manager Yuan was reviewing the account books when he saw her enter. He looked up and asked with a smile, "Wanqing, what brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wanqing quickly introduced, "Uncle Yuan, these are my elder brother and sister-in-law. They brought some fresh bamboo shoots and wanted to ask if you would be interested in buying them."
The moment Manager Yuan saw Xiao Jingchuan, his eyes were filled with respect. After a moment, he smiled and looked Shen Yunsheng up and down. He thought that Shen Yunsheng and his boss were a perfect match.
Taking the opportunity, Shen Yunsheng handed the bamboo shoots to Manager Yuan, saying confidently, "These bamboo shoots are picked from our own mountain, absolutely fresh and delicious. I believe they will definitely become the restaurant's signature dish!"
Manager Yuan picked up a bamboo shoot and examined it closely, nodding in approval. "This bamboo shoot is indeed very good. However, its taste is both bitter and astringent..."
Shen Yunsheng was prepared. She smiled and said, "I know your restaurant has very high standards for the quality of its ingredients. How about this, if you'd like to try our bamboo shoots, I can provide some for free first, so the chef can prepare them for our guests. If they're well-received, we can discuss further cooperation. What do you think?" Manager Yuan glanced at Xiao Jingchuan and nodded with a smile.
“Madam Shen, your suggestion is excellent. I’ve decided to have you cook the bamboo shoots yourself. If they’re as delicious as you say, we can discuss further cooperation.”
Shen Yunsheng was secretly delighted. She knew this was an excellent opportunity to showcase her products, and she was determined to seize it.
...
After reaching an agreement with Manager Yuan, Shen Yunsheng selected some tender bamboo shoots and went to the kitchen with her sister-in-law.
She cleaned the bamboo shoots and then sliced them thinly, preparing to make a spicy bamboo shoot dish.
She skillfully cooked, adding the right amount of seasonings and slices of meat. Before long, a plate of stir-fried bamboo shoots, with excellent color, aroma, and taste, was placed in front of Manager Yuan.
Manager Yuan took a bite and his eyes lit up. "This tastes so delicious!"
He immediately called over the other chefs to taste it, and they all praised it highly.
Manager Yuan immediately decided to cooperate with Shen Yunsheng, saying, "Madam Shen, from now on, our restaurant will buy all the bamboo shoots from your family's mountain bamboo shoots! You can set the price."
Shen Yunsheng was overjoyed; such a good thing was never hard to sell.
"Manager Yuan, my bamboo shoots are six coins a pound. If you are sure you want them, I will sell them to you now."
Manager Yuan pondered to himself that six copper coins per catty was reasonable, and if he could supply it long-term, he could also send it to other branches.
"Alright, it's settled then." Manager Yuan readily agreed. "However, we need a large quantity of bamboo shoots. Can you guarantee the supply?"
Shen Yunsheng replied confidently, "No problem. Our village is rich in bamboo shoots, so we can definitely meet your needs."
