Chapter 417 Come down
"I wonder what kind of food does Shopkeeper Wang like to eat on a daily basis?"
Shopkeeper Wang looked around and saw three big words written on the wooden board: "Dish Selection Area".
He walked over curiously and asked, "Do I have to choose the spicy hotpot myself?"
An Yue explained generously: "Yes! The ingredients are all self-selected, and different flavors can be made according to everyone's taste."
"Oh? Hearing the girl say that, it's quite original!"
Shopkeeper Wang saw others choosing with baskets, so he rolled up his sleeves, took a basket and started choosing.
He followed the example of others and picked some of each dish.
At this moment, Shopkeeper Wang looked like a child who had never seen the world.
Shopkeeper Wang selected the ingredients, and An Yue took over and asked with a smile, "Which flavor of spicy hotpot would you like to try?"
"It has spicy, slightly spicy, and wild delicacy soup flavors."
"Then let's try the shop's signature flavor!"
An Yue raised her hand and said, "Okay, let's make spicy flavor. Shopkeeper, please sit down and wait for a moment."
"Okay, okay, young lady, how much money do you have in total?"
"Shopkeeper, it is a great honor for you to come to my small shop. This time I will treat you, Shopkeeper Wang."
"That won't do! Miss, your shop has just opened. This is really inappropriate."
An Yueqiao smiled and said, "Looking back carefully, the shopkeeper is my benefactor, so how can you not have a meal of spicy hot pot?"
"Haha, I don't deserve your honor. But since you are so generous, I will not be polite. Thank you very much, young lady."
......
After a while, a bowl of steaming hot spicy hot pot was brought to him.
An Yue smiled and said, "Manager Wang, please enjoy your meal."
Shopkeeper Wang first smelled the aroma, then couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of vegetable and put it into his mouth.
He chewed slowly, and An Yue looked at him expectantly, smiling slightly and asked, "How does the shopkeeper think it tastes?"
He smiled and nodded, affirming, "Hmm... not bad, not bad. This is the first time for me, Wang, to eat this kind of food. It has a rich taste and the soup is spicy and fragrant. No wonder the business is so prosperous!"
"Thank you for your praise, boss. Please enjoy your meal first. I'm busy now."
"Okay, okay, go ahead!"
Afterwards, An Yue went to the counter to settle the bill for the customer.
Shopkeeper Wang, on the other hand, was busy eating the spicy hot pot in his bowl.
......
After a while, Shopkeeper Wang finished the spicy hot pot in his bowl.
He wiped the corner of his mouth, walked to the counter and said with a smile: "Miss An Yue, you are amazing. Did you also research this taste?"
An Yue saw Manager Wang approaching her and praising her again. She thought that the next step would be for him to start stating his main purpose.
"Speaking of which, the young lady and I are acquaintances. The braised fish recipe that the young lady sold to me before was very popular in the restaurant."
"Please forgive me for being frank. The reason I came here this time was, firstly, to try Miss An Yue's spicy hot pot, and secondly, to buy another cooking recipe from her."
An Yue secretly said in her heart: [Even if you don't say it, I know your purpose. ]
An Yue quickly said, "Shopkeeper, regarding the recipe, can you allow me to think about it for a few more days?"
Seeing that An Yue did not refuse outright, Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile, "Okay, okay, we are old acquaintances. As long as the dish cooked according to the recipe is delicious, the price can be negotiated."
An Yue smiled faintly at him.
He added: "In that case, I, Wang, will not disturb you from doing business. I will go back now. I will wait for good news from Miss An Yue."
Afterwards, An Yue smiled and escorted Manager Wang out of the shop.
I felt relieved when I saw his back as he left.
After Shopkeeper Wang left, An Yue began to feel melancholy.
However, there were so many customers in the shop that a long queue had formed.
It was noon at this time.
An Nian came to the shop from school, ready to have lunch.
He watched the family busying around, and hurried to help clean up the dishes in the dining room.
An Yue asked Chunzhi to go to the kitchen and cook a simple dish for An Nian so that An Nian could eat it before going to school.
......
The family worked busily for several hours, and the number of customers began to gradually decrease.
They stir-fried two dishes and cooked two large bowls of spicy hot pot, and several people sat around in the dining room to eat.
After finishing their meal, the family finally had some time to sit down and rest for a while.
An Yue sat at the counter, thinking about the recipe that Manager Wang asked for.
I sold the braised fish recipe to Shopkeeper Wang before. I was so poor at that time that I had no choice but to sell it to him.
But no one expected that because of a braised fish recipe, Manager Wang’s restaurant became famous throughout Yongchuan County.
He was in the Millennium Building in the county town and was very popular at that time.
Many dignitaries are regular customers, and those who have tasted the braised fish praise it highly.
And Wanfulou in Shijing Town also made him a lot of money.
However, things are different now.
The once popular stewed fish has finally become a thing of the past.
Nowadays, any small restaurant or bistro in the county town can make braised fish.
Today, we have experienced various natural disasters.
The whole town was lifeless, and Shopkeeper Wang was eager to get new recipes and return to the leading position in the industry.
He had mentioned the recipe to An Yue many times, but An Yue always shirked the responsibility with various excuses.
But people's patience is always limited, and repeatedly offending others is not a long-term solution.
Not to mention what his Wanfulou is like, what if An Yuezhen and Manager Wang were to fall out.
At that time, Manager Wang only needs to say a few words in his circle of contacts.
This would make it impossible for An Yue to stay in the entire Shijing Town, and she would not be able to live in peace even if she went to the county town.
Besides, I now have a small business in this town. If I can get him to help take care of it, my business will be much smoother.
Also, An Nian was able to enter the school thanks to the letter of recommendation written by Manager Wang.
In short, he is also a well-known figure in Shijing Town.
Moreover, after many conversations, it was clear that Manager Wang was not the kind of person who would do anything to achieve his goals.
No matter how you analyze it, there are always many benefits to getting to know Manager Wang.
Therefore, An Yue decided to come up with another recipe for him.
As for whether he can become popular again, it depends on how he operates it himself.
An Yue thought about it and realized that there are many famous dishes in the 21st century, but the preparation process of many of them is extremely complicated.
Dishes that are delicious and easy to make are naturally easy for others to imitate.
But if the dishes are too complicated, not only will they be afraid of other restaurants imitating them, they may not be able to learn even if the chef teaches them personally.
An Yue leaned on the counter and thought about it, muttering with a worried look on her face: "I can't give them another recipe for cooking fish, right?"
An Yue suddenly thought of the preserved eggs in the cellar at home.
