Chapter 542: Chapter 542 Sun Ji’s Braised Food

"You lot with no real skills, if you can’t be as generous as Minister Xu, then don’t even bother trying to run a tasting event.

It’s pathetic on your part really, offering just this little bit of food and still having the nerve to hold a tasting event. It tastes terrible compared to Xu Ji’s brined flavors," the old lady burst out furiously.

The workshop director, so berated, was infuriated, blood boiling, remembering his authoritative presence in the factory where hundreds would follow his every order.

Now, to be scolded by an old woman, he retorted instantly, "You old hag, always looking for a freebie.

We’re doing a tasting, not giving out endless free food. I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you, always greedy for more."

The old lady, raging mad, let out a cry and frustratingly sat down on the ground, slapping her thighs and starting to cry, "Oh my, there’s no justice at all.

Everyone come and see, look at this, they said this brined flavor is free for everyone to taste.

But when this old lady came over, they only gave me a tiny piece of meat, I couldn’t even taste the flavor. When I asked for a bit more, this man got angry.

You talk about Minister Xu’s event, he was so generous, giving us big pieces of meat each.

Not like this man here, can’t run an event properly then don’t bother running it at all, now he accuses me, an old lady, of taking advantage and even wants to hit me.

Is there no justice left? A bunch of men bullying a lone, elderly woman."

Seeing the growing crowd, the workshop director was even more infuriated, finding the old lady completely unreasonable.

She inverted everything, as if he had only given her a pinky-sized piece of meat when it was actually a thumb-sized piece.

"If you can’t handle running an event, then don’t, no one blames you.

But if you say you’re going to hold one, then do it properly. If you carry on like this, who would dare buy your brined flavors?"

Seeing some people siding with her, the old lady felt even more encouraged, "Let me tell you, this place’s brined flavors taste off, not fresh at all, who knows how long it’s been sitting, it reeks of spoiled meat, utterly disgusting."

"You fucking fart-spewing old hag, you asking for a beating?" the workshop director retorted, clenching his fists.

This only worsened the crowd’s feelings toward him, "Are you conducting business or acting like feudal tyrants?

Honestly, picking a fight with an old lady, utterly shameless."

Condemnation rained down one after another.

The workshop director, humiliated by the barrage of insults, turned and sullenly pushed his cart away.

The employees, seeing not a single item had been sold, hung their heads in dejection.

"Director, maybe we should let those people eat a bit more, that way at least they can taste it properly," one of the workers tentatively suggested.

Hearing this, the workshop director instantly became angry again, "Give them more as if this stuff is free?

We’re running a business, not a charity. Didn’t you see those people were just taking advantage?

Today’s location choice was a mistake, let’s find another place now.

Or we could try the Department Store, setting up a stall at the entrance might even attract Department Store to place an order with us," he said, growing more convinced of the idea.

Excitedly, he pushed the cart and led his employees toward the Department Store.

Upon arriving at the Department Store entrance, they caught the attention of the department store manager.

Manager Li from the Department Store sent someone to find out what was going on, and hearing that brined foods were being sold outside, came out curiously.

"Which factory are you from? This looks like brined flavors?" Manager Li asked curiously.

He approached the snack stand and was quite surprised by the look of the braised food.

The color was almost the same as Xu’s Braised Food, and it smelled pretty nice, but he wasn’t sure how it would taste.

When Director Ma from the workshop heard this, his face lit up immediately. He sized up the middle-aged man in front of him, judging by his clothing that he wasn’t just anybody.

Most likely he was a manager from the Department Store. Director Ma immediately became very polite and said, "Comrade, would you like to try our factory’s very own braised food?

It’s just as good as Xu Lulu’s, and we offer it at a much lower price too."

Manager Li, hearing this, became interested right away and picked up a toothpick to try a chicken claw.

The fresh, sweet, and spicy flavor was tantalizingly good, really not bad at all, but there was something a little different from Xu Lulu’s, though he couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

Director Ma, excited, watched Manager Li: "How is it? Tastes good, right?"

Manager Li nodded, "Indeed, it’s quite good."

Director Ma then eagerly asked, "So, does the Department Store want to stock up on it?"

Manager Li looked at Director Ma indifferently, "I can’t make that decision on my own. Although your braised food is tasty, Xu’s Braised Food tastes even better.

Plus, everyone recognizes Xu’s Braised Food. If we buy yours and can’t sell it, what would we do then?

I need to discuss this with our executives first."

Hearing this, Director Ma’s face darkened. What a bunch of crap, they try our product but don’t buy.

Really thick-skinned.

"Well then, once you’ve discussed it and are interested in partnering with us, you can come and talk to our factory manager at Sun Ji Factory.

We definitely offer a much lower price than Xu’s Braised Food." Director Ma finished speaking and then started attracting other customers.

After all, just outside the Department Store, the foot traffic was ceaseless, and it didn’t take long for quite a few people to start tasting Sun family’s braised food.

Coming from an Imperial Chef background, their culinary skills were naturally proficient. Though imitating Xu Ji, their braised food had its unique taste and was by no means inferior.

It didn’t take long to receive unanimous praise from many.

Manager Li, standing in the distance, was observing all of this. Seeing that people accepted the Sun family’s braised food, he quickly ran inside and directly went to find his own director.

"Director Ma, there’s a new braised food stall outside, and their food is as good as Xu Ji’s. They say their prices are lower.

Should we consider partnering with Sun Ji’s Braised Food?"

Director Ma was somewhat tempted by this proposition but remembered the former director of the Department Store, Director Yang, who was lured by a minor cheaper option, ended up with spoiled braised food, and was finally taken to the police station.

Reflecting on these incidents made him apprehensive. He told Manager Li, "First go find out what the deal is with this Sun Ji Factory.

When was it established? I’ve never heard of it."

Manager Li nodded and immediately sent someone to investigate.

The manager responsible for the food section, Manager Luo, became restless upon hearing about Sun Ji’s Braised Food and promptly called Xu Ying, "Minister Xu, did you know there’s a new Sun Ji’s Braised Food in Shanghai?

Our manager has tried their braised food and said it’s just as good as yours.

They’re planning to place an order with Sun Ji’s Braised Food too."
