Chapter 233: [232] Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 83 (twenty-sixth update)

Xiao Yu chuckled and shook her head at him, "Don’t worry, my target isn’t Huagang Village. I will stay here for the short term; for the long term, I’m not even sure where I’ll end up. Besides the necessary business interactions, I won’t come here to create chaos during other times. If you’re still uneasy, I can write a guarantee, stating that the future of Huagang Village will only involve Yingbin Building as the sole restaurant."

"Really?" Xiao Yu’s words eased the Shopkeeper’s mind somewhat.

"As real as it gets, like I said, my heart isn’t set on this place."

Although the Shopkeeper wanted to ask where her heart was set, he ultimately swallowed his words. Since she promised to write him a guarantee, why should he bother asking more? Additionally, he was rather impressed with her; despite Yan Country’s liberal customs, it’s rare to see a young lady openly negotiate business. He had never seen such a thing in his life, and it seemed that she bore no psychological burden about it, which wasn’t something just anyone could manage.

Just for that, he had to regard her more highly.

"So, how many recipes can you provide me in a month?"

To him, since she handled shrimp dishes so effortlessly, there should be even more recipes.

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and then stretched out two fingers to him, causing the Shopkeeper to frown, "Only two dishes?"

Xiao Yu sighed with a smile, "Quality in new dishes lies in refinement, not quantity, wouldn’t you agree?"

The Shopkeeper rubbed his chin, pondering for a while, before suddenly slamming the table.

"Fine, girl, for that statement alone, we’ll sign the contract right now!"

An hour later, after mutual discussion, the contract was drafted. Both parties had signed their names and sealed it.

After that, the Shopkeeper called Li Wei over to report the results of their discussion, of course omitting the profit-sharing ratio.

He only mentioned that Xiao Yu would provide recipes in the future for him to plan some of their restaurant’s arrangements.

Regarding publicity for the restaurant, Xiao Yu had several ideas, which she mentioned off the cuff.

"With new dishes being introduced, some promotion is necessary, targeting our main clientele, possibly through distributing flyers, or offering discounts, or even special dishes."

"Wait, this girl, you have many ideas, share those points in more detail with us."

Xiao Yu pinched the bridge of her nose somewhat helplessly, "These things can’t be elaborated in just a few words. How about this, I’ll go home today, draft the details, and bring it back to you in the form of a document—is that alright?"

The Shopkeeper, upon hearing this, became overwhelmed, "Why make it so complicated? Why even write a document? Are you showing off just because you’ve read a few days’ worth of books?"

Earlier, when they signed the contract, upon seeing Xiao Yu’s handwriting, the Shopkeeper had felt a bit envious. It’s one thing to be smart, but why does her handwriting have to be so good too?

Little did he know that in order to practice traditional characters during her years on Nameless Island, she had diligently copied from ancient texts, barely making her writing acceptable.

Luckily, she had a foundation in writing, otherwise handling a brush wouldn’t have been easy.

Her words also carried an air of cultivation, as if she feared others wouldn’t know that she, a mere girl, was educated?

Xiao Yu was somewhat amused but exasperated, "Shopkeeper,"

"Call me Uncle Zhang, ’Shopkeeper’ sounds so unpleasant."

Great, it seemed their relationship had just deepened a level.

Xiao Yu took a deep breath and patiently explained.

"Today, I saw that our restaurant was too lax. I want to list some details because I’m worried some points might be forgotten as soon as they are mentioned. With a document, you can extract the essence and post it in the backyard, allowing the service staff here to have a sense of self-awareness. Uncle Zhang, do you understand what I mean?"
