Chapter 234: [233] Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 84 (twenty-seventh update)

Zhang Quan couldn’t help but to chide her, "Your uncle is not deaf, why can he not understand? Okay, since you’ve said so, we’ll do as you suggest. But you have to be quick, eh? Ay, you live so far away, it’s really inconvenient when I have something urgent to discuss with you. How about this, you stay here for a few days, sort everything out, and then leave?"

Xiao Yu looked down in contemplation for a moment, "But I have my grandmother at home who is seriously ill, and I also worry about my sister returning home alone. It’s okay, I can commute to the City every day,"

"Then you better get me those strong results quickly!"

"Alright, I’ll do my best."

"Good, and by the way, I also want to discuss some things with you."

Li Wei, standing to the side, felt awkward as they bantered back and forth; he scratched his head and interjected,

"Shopkeeper, how about I leave for a bit? When you are done talking, I can come back?"

Xiao Yu quickly waved her hands, "No need, no need, just sit down and listen as well,"

Zhang Quan glared at Xiao Yu but then turned to Li Wei, "We won’t be done in a short while, and this restaurant only has one chef. Hey Wei, why don’t you go ahead?"

Li Wei didn’t think too much of it, nodded, and turned to leave. But suddenly, something came to his mind, and he turned back to look at Xiao Yu.

"The recipes you’re going to provide, are you going to teach me how to make them?"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly, "Of course, Uncle Li. What? Do you have any other thoughts? Feel free to share them."

Li Wei immediately looked at her with gratitude, "No, how could I have any objections? I’m just too happy. After all, cooking is your expertise and I—"

"There’s no need for you to feel any burden, Uncle Li. Uncle Zhang trusts you, and since you are his man, and we have business dealings, it benefits us both. Don’t worry so much about it,"

With just a few words, Xiao Yu managed to flatter Zhang Quan, and comfort Li Wei, gaining favor from them both, as the warmth in their eyes towards her increased.

"I have one more question,"

"Please ask, Uncle Li."

"That last dish, how did you merge the minced chicken with minced shrimp so seamlessly? Why does it easily fall apart when I try it? And that red, sour-sweet thing, what is it exactly?"

Li Wei’s question immediately prompted Zhang Quan to follow up, "Ay, I forgot to even ask about that. Yeah, what is that red stuff? Also, how did you fully combine them together and yet ensure it tastes so robust?"

He ran a restaurant and could cook himself. These were issues any insider would spot, almost without having to try.

Li Wei tried because he probably wanted to find the reason. Unfortunately, it hadn’t worked, which was why he couldn’t help but come to Xiao Yu for answers.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu was even more impressed with Li Wei, someone eager to learn and willing to get his hands dirty – a true role model!

After thinking for a bit, Xiao Yu said to Li Wei, "That’s because I added a seasoning that you guys don’t have. I’ll naturally tell you all about it later, as it’s not something that can be explained in just a few words."

Hearing this, Li Wei didn’t ask further; he nodded and left. Zhang Quan turned to Xiao Yu.

"So, the next thing you want to discuss with me is regarding the seasoning?"

Xiao Yu was almost amused by Zhang Quan’s quick reaction, "Uncle, I’m growing more and more appreciative of you, what should I do?"

"Go on, no wonder the contract we just signed covered only the recipes. You were waiting for me, weren’t you? Just say it, what are you planning?"

"For the recipes I’ve provided it’s a sixty-forty split, as for providing the raw materials, I won’t ask for much from you. You can decide how much to give, of course. You need to think carefully about the price though. If it’s right, there will only be this one branch in Port Town without any others. If it’s not—"

"Alright, stop being such a monkey, so cunning. Let’s discuss this when you deliver the goods to me later, does that sound good?"

Xiao Yu nodded, "That’s what I was thinking. After all, you haven’t seen the actual products yet and don’t know their value; your arrangement seems very reasonable to me."
