Blessed Daughter

This is one thousand taels! How many years does this shop have to sell lo mei to earn this money!

Wei Ruo smiled: "I don't sell the lo-mei recipe, but I think I can negotiate another deal with Boss Fan, which is guaranteed to be more suitable for Zuixianju than this lo-mei recipe."

Shopkeeper Shen looked puzzled: "The young master has other business to discuss with our young master."

"Yes, shopkeeper Shen, please go back and talk to Boss Fan. If he really wants to, we can meet and talk." Wei Ruo said.

Shopkeeper Shen looked at Wei Ruo and couldn't help being surprised.

This young man is really courageous, a fledgling boy, he dared to open his mouth to discuss business with their young man directly.

Should it be said that he is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, or is he admirable for his courage?

Shopkeeper Shen thought for a while and then said: "Okay, I'll go back now and ask our young master for instructions. Please, young master, please wait here for a while. I'll go back as soon as I go."

"Okay." Wei Ruo agreed.

Shopkeeper Shen got up and left, and hurried back to Zuixianju.

In the box on the second floor, shopkeeper Shen recounted the conversation just now.

"Oh? He has business and wants to talk to me personally?" Fan Chengxu smiled with great interest.

"Yes."

After thinking for a while, Fan Chengxu said: "Bring him here."

"Yes, little one, let's go."

Because the two shops are close, Wei Ruo walked into the door of the Heting box on the second floor under the leadership of shopkeeper Shen in less than a stick of incense.

This time Fan Chengxu sized Wei Ruo up close.

Young, petite, with a large area of ​​blue birthmarks and ugly moles on his face, his appearance can be called ugly.

Only those eyes were clear and clean, lively and energetic, which was the only redeeming feature on this face.

"I heard from shopkeeper Shen that you want to negotiate a business with me?" Fan Chengxu looked at Wei Ruo with a half-smile.

"Yes." Wei Ruo replied.

"Let's talk about it." Fan Chengxu took a sip of tea slowly, waiting for the next speech.

"Zuixianju is the most famous restaurant in Taizhou Prefecture. There are many kinds of dishes in the building. Braised meat is only one of more than a hundred kinds of dishes. It is not worth spending a lot of money to buy a dish of stewed meat. I have the same thing here. The boss wants to supply more useful things to Boss Fan for a long time."

"Oh? What?" Fan Chengxu admitted that he was quite interested in what the young man in front of him said.

Wei Ruo didn't answer directly, but took out three porcelain bottles from the brocade bag he brought.

Wei Ruo placed the three bottles in a row on the mahogany round table in front of him.

"These three bottles are all used for seasoning. My lo-mei shop sells these spices. Boss Fan can take a look if you are interested." Wei Ruo said.

Fan Chengxu looked at the three porcelain vases in front of Wei Ruo.

After examining it for a while, he winked at Shopkeeper Shen.

Shopkeeper Shen immediately came forward and brought the three porcelain vases to Fan Chengxu.

Fan Chengxu opened a bottle and put it in front of his nose to smell it. There was a scent in it, which smelled rich and layered.

The taste is indeed somewhat similar to the aroma of the lo-mei sold in Xu Ji's lo-mei shop.

Wei Ruo explained: "It's a bit offensive to smell it like this directly, but if it is put into food, the taste will definitely be better, and it can well neutralize the fishy and muttony smell in some meat and fish."

Fan Chengxu poured out some of the powder inside and put it on the plate.

The dark brown powder looks like a mixture of many things. If you don't have this knowledge, you can't tell the specific ingredients.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Chengxu put down the first bottle and opened the second bottle.

If you smell the second bottle, the taste is more obvious, and it becomes liquid after shaking.

So Fan Chengxu poured some into a small bowl. After seeing the dark brown liquid, Fan Chengxu dipped some with chopsticks and prepared to put it into his mouth.

"My lord!" Shopkeeper Shen was a little worried.

"This is soy sauce."

As Fan Chengxu said, he put it in his mouth, and it really tasted like soy sauce, but it was more delicious and mellow than the soy sauce he had tasted before.

Not only is wine good or bad, so is soy sauce. The difference between good soy sauce and bad soy sauce is not a little bit.

And the small bottle of soy sauce in front of him is undoubtedly the best of the best.

Finally, Fan Chengxu opened the third bottle, which was neither powder nor liquid.

After he turned the bottle upside down for a while, a little viscous liquid flowed out of it.

The color is lighter than that of soy sauce, and the color is bright.

"What is this?" Fan Chengxu asked Wei Ruo.

"Oyster sauce." Wei Ruo replied.

"Oyster sauce?"

"Yes, it's a sauce made from oysters. It tastes delicious. It can be used for cooking a lot of food, and it can also be eaten as a dipping sauce." Wei Ruo replied.

She doesn't hide what the raw material of this thing is. After all, even if she tells the other party that the raw material is oysters, the other party may not be able to make exactly the same oyster sauce.

Just like everyone knows that the raw material of soy sauce is soybeans, but to make delicious soy sauce, craftsmanship is the most important.

After listening to Wei Ruo's description, Fan Chengxu looked at the viscous thing again.

Looking at it like this, it is impossible to see any connection between this thing and oysters.

Fan Chengxu picked up the chopsticks again, dipped them into his mouth, and savored carefully.

The first reaction is umami, a fresh and salty taste unique to seafood, but without the fishy smell of seafood.

The taste is not as strong as soy sauce, but the taste is equally rich and attractive.

I looked at the three bottles, except for the five-spice powder, I didn't taste it, and Fan Chengxu tasted both soy sauce and oyster sauce.

After a while, Fan Chengxu raised his head, and his shrewd eyes fell on Wei Ruo again: "You want to sell me the formula of these spices?"

"No, I don't sell recipes, I sell spices. I want to provide spices for Zuixianju for a long time." Wei Ruo replied with confident and firm eyes.

Fan Chengxu was a little surprised by Wei Ruo's answer, and he continued to ask with great interest: "Then how much inventory do you have now?"

"No." Wei Ruo replied.

"No? Then you are still brazenly saying that you want to reach a long-term supply relationship with me." Fan Chengxu asked.

"After reaching a relationship, I can immediately build a workshop for production." Wei Ruo replied.

"But you still have nothing now, that is to say, you are talking to me about a business without profit?"

"My capital is the skills I have mastered. I know how to make these seasonings, and I know how to conquer the taste buds of diners. This is my capital. They are worth a lot. If they are not valuable, Boss Fan is not You will let shopkeeper Shen come over to buy my lo-mei formula, won't you?" Wei Ruo asked back.
