Fertile land

Chapter 36

While the two were talking, the waiter Xiao Zheng ran down again and called her with a happy face!
"Ms. Luo, shopkeeper Zhu asked me to take you up."

"it is good."

Luo Zhi'er took off the apron she had just put on, straightened her wrinkled clothes and hair, followed the waiter up the stairs, and was taken to the door of a room by him. This should be the room where shopkeeper Zhu usually works.

"Shopkeeper, Madam Luo is here!"

"Well, bring her in."

As soon as Luo Zhi'er entered, Shopkeeper Zhu and Chef Xie both turned to look at her.

"Xiao Zheng, go down and make a pot of tea."

"Yes."

"Ms. Luo, sit down!"

Chef Li didn't even glance at her...

As soon as Luo Zhi'er came in, his eyes glanced at the table. Shopkeeper Zhu's mouth was still stained with oil, so he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

Fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl on the plate: CD.

The dry rice and dry noodles are also empty!

Chef Xie's eyes showed a smile, while Chef Li's face darkened...

Luo Zhi'er secretly felt a hint of joy in her heart, and her face was light.

Shopkeeper Zhu spoke first: "Ms. Luo, you sit down first!"

"Shopkeeper Zhu, you are too polite."

Luo Zhi'er sat down generously and said calmly with a smile,

"I wonder why shopkeeper Zhu called me to come up..."

Shopkeeper Zhu looked at her funny, but Madam Luo asked knowingly, "What do you think?"

"I think the fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl I made is so delicious that you are still satisfied!"

Chef Li sneered with contempt on his lips: "You don't overestimate your capabilities."

Luo Zhi'er knew it well, didn't the bare plate mean anything?Luo Zhi'er turned a deaf ear to what he said. She would not accept his deliberate blow.

He said sweetly, "Does Shopkeeper Zhu think the chicken fungus oil mixed with noodles and rice tastes good?"

Shopkeeper Zhu touched his mustache and nodded slightly, "It's not bad. After the three of us tasted it, we thought that your Fiber Mushroom Oil is a good product. We Yumanlou can keep it for the time being!"

Chef Li echoed, “It does taste good and doesn’t take much effort.”

Luo Zhi'er saw their actions in his eyes, this was a bargaining process.

You must know that this kind of mushroom oil is a delicacy popular all over the country in modern times. Some people go to great lengths to buy a can. Why has everyone’s taste changed here?

Just... not bad?This didn't make sense, and she believed that anyone who had tasted it had no reason not to buy it.

Even if you don’t buy it, you are afraid that it will spread out and become a competing product!
Luo Zhi'er said firmly, "Shopkeeper Zhu is joking. Based on my prediction, this chicken and fungus oil mixed with rice, noodles and powder will definitely cause a sensation in Taoyuan Town..."

"This famous building has changed from a deserted place to a bustling place with full seats..."

"what?"

Shopkeeper Zhu trembled slightly with excitement in her eyes. Is she so confident?Is this really going to happen?
"That's right, that's it, don't you think, Shopkeeper Zhu?"

Chef Li sneered and scorned: "Cause a sensation? Just because of your chicken fungus oil? I, Li Changshun, have been cooking in Taoyuan Town for thirty years, and you, a fat woman, was still wearing crotchless pants when I was cooking!"

"Did you see the prosperous scene when we opened Yumanlou?"

excitedly said,

"Ignorant fat woman!!! You are using chicken feathers as an arrow. I don't know what you are doing. Don't say it so early! You must be responsible for the restaurant's losses!"

Luo Zhi'er calmly waited for him to finish venting, looking at him with clear black and white eyes,
"So from Chef Li's perspective, how will this chicken fir fungus oil develop in the future?"

"In my estimation, it's just like that, tepid, not of much use to the restaurant, a waste of money..." Li Changshun got so angry that he stood up.

"This…"

Shopkeeper Zhu is one of the top two. Chef Li is deeply respected by him. I don’t know if it is because he is older and more senior and is becoming more and more stubborn...

He asked the waiter to take Luo Zhi'er to the kitchen because he was worried about this. Luo Zhi'er's temperament surprised him. If the other person had already thrown away his sleeves and left, or came to complain aggrievedly...

What about her?I heard that he had been playing with a knife in the kitchen for a while. Chef Li came up with a blushing face and an aggrieved look on his face. This was the first time he had seen something like this...

Luo Zhi'er took a sip of tea and put down the cup, "Chef Li, I don't know why you are so hostile to me. To put it bluntly, you have been cooking for more than thirty years, but so what?"

“This dish of mine can be extended into many dishes over time, such as noodles, rice, vermicelli... fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl, or vinegar-based cabbage, shredded potatoes, stir-fried pork, kung pao chicken rice bowl, braised pork rice bowl, etc. Pork rice, claypot rice…”

Several people had shock in their eyes... It was really like this... They became curious about what she said, how to actually do it?

"Since your cooking skills are superb and your dishes taste great, why is Yumanlou's business getting worse and worse? It's even about to close down. As a chef, shouldn't you be responsible?"

Chef Xie on the side felt the same and lowered his head in embarrassment...

Li Shuncai instantly felt offended by her, "What? You ignorant fat woman, you just hear the name of a dish anywhere and come here to brag about it! Who do you think you are? Why are you so powerful but not well-known? Why can you accuse me? Mine is not..."

Luo Zhi'er looked at him with calm eyes, and the corner of her mouth curled up to unceremoniously expose his background.

"Don't dare to boldly try to introduce new dishes and stick to your so-called time-honored brands. I know you are afraid of being replaced, but Taoyuan Town is so big, and there are only so many dishes in the town. If you can make it, others can, too. Not to mention Hongyun Tower.”

"People are still bold and innovative, with low prices, many varieties, luxurious restaurants, and good dining experience for customers. How about you? You can't accept new ideas, and you get angry when they are mentioned!"

"People are afraid of you, but I'm not afraid. Anyway, I don't owe you any money. I can cook food myself. Food is the most important thing for the people. For a person like me who has requirements for food, if I were a diner and only came in here today, One time is enough, and you will never want to come again next time..."

"what?"

Shopkeeper Zhu didn’t expect that the customer experience has reached this level?

"Anyway, it won't be more than a month. As long as you insist on doing this, I'm afraid your boss will have to close down. You employees of this time-honored brand, hehe..."

"Aren't you guilty? Because of your stubbornness?"

Chef Li was disgraced and defeated. He slumped down on his seat and felt extremely unhappy...

"This…"

Shopkeeper Zhu was ashamed, but she didn't expect that she could see the problem at a glance.

They have always adhered to the time-honored brand. Every time there are fresh recipes and dishes delivered to their doorstep, or innovations, they are rejected and blocked by the stubborn Chef Li...

In fact, they are also wandering, struggling, and want to make changes, but there is no good way to find a chance...

The feet of a man wearing high boots suddenly stopped outside the door. The man's facial features were clearly defined, and his whole person exuded an elegant and restrained aura.

"Son..."

The waiter was about to say hello to him, but he raised his hand and softly stopped him...

"Ms. Luo, are you sure that this gallbladder oil can bring Yumanlou back to life?"

Then I heard the crispy voice inside again, "Of course it won't work with just mushroom oil, but... I have a way..."

Shopkeeper Zhu’s eyes lit up…

"Appreciate further details…"

"As long as Shopkeeper Zhu intends to change the status quo and doesn't mind the young woman's troubles, then I will do my best to help you find a solution..."

"Of course."

"That's fine."

After a pause, he spoke in a lazy and casual voice,

"Actually, I'm not just selling this chicken and fungus oil today. I have a few unique recipe recipes, as well as a few drinks and smoothies suitable for summer. I want to share them with Shopkeeper Zhu."
