Chapter 65 Eight Immortals Restaurant Promotes Jam
Su Xiaoxiao spoke with the Sun family and said that they would also do the same promotional activities at their stall.

As expected, it attracted many people who came to the market today. They were usually with their children, and the children were all scrambling to eat the steamed buns dipped in jam.

Because the tasting results were so good, many parents ended up buying the steamed bun slices.

Su Xiaoxiao and Sanlang were busy until noon when Wang Er brought lunch for Sun Shi. Wang Er also helped watch the stall.

Su Xiaoxiao said to Madam Sun, "Sister Sun, I'll leave things here to you two. Sanlang and I are going to Baxianlou. We'll bring you some delicious food when we get back."

Sun smiled and nodded, saying, "Xiaoxiao, you two go ahead and do your work. The two of us are enough for you here."

Su Xiaoxiao took Sanlang with her and headed straight for the Eight Immortals Restaurant.

Sanlang seemed a little embarrassed. "Xiaoxiao, are you inviting me to dinner? Does this count as our first date alone together?"

Su Xiaoxiao never expected that Sanlang would understand it in this way.

Having no other choice, Su Xiaoxiao said to Sanlang, "Yes, sort of, but we're not just going there for a meal, we're going to do something."

Saburo still only half understood, but he was certainly happy to be eating at the biggest restaurant in town.

As soon as I arrived at the restaurant, I heard a great commotion.

This time, Su Xiaoxiao went into Baxianlou and immediately ordered their fish sashimi.

Sure enough, after this jam was served, I compared it with the jam made by Su Xiaoxiao's family.

The jam from Baxianlou is far inferior in quality; it's not only bland but also astringent.

It tastes terrible, but if you dip it in the jam made by Su Xiaoxiao's family, it becomes sweet and sour, and the sweet and sour taste can neutralize the fishy smell of the fish.

Saburo originally disliked raw fish, as he didn't like eating raw food.

But this time, when he took the first bite, he exclaimed, "Delicious!"

He seemed very excited and became more talkative.

Saburo was making such a fuss, and the people at the next table, seeing that it looked pretty delicious, also wanted to try the jam.

"Waiter, could you please bring us some of this jam too?"

Upon seeing this, the waiter quickly served their jam to the customers at the next table.

After the waiter left, the customers at the next table tasted the fish sashimi dipped in jam and said it was just so-so.

"No, young man, this jam tastes just average. Is it really worth praising it like that?"

When Sanlang and Su Xiaoxiao saw that they were still eating the jam provided by Baxianlou, the taste was naturally just average.

Saburo then said to the guests at the next table, "This jam is homemade. If you'd like, I can let you try some."

Sanlang glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, who did not object.

Saburo took a jar of jam to the next table and poured a small dish of jam into their plates.

The guests at that table happened to be eating sashimi, and they took a bite with the jam.

Unexpectedly, a look of great appreciation immediately appeared on his face.

"good to eat."

The others around him, still disbelieving his somewhat exaggerated expression, also reached for the jam with their chopsticks.

I didn't expect to get the same answer, it really is delicious!
The waiter came over to serve the food and frowned upon seeing this. "Esteemed guests, did you bring your own jam?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said yes.

"We do not allow outside food to be brought into our store."

The scene was quite awkward. It was hard to explain what was going on. Su Xiaoxiao didn't know that in the early Tang Dynasty, it was the same, and restaurants didn't allow outside food to be brought into the taverns.

Before Su Xiaoxiao could even speak, the customer next to her who had just tasted the jam she made became unhappy.

"Waiter, you're in business, so you should cater to your customers' needs. Since their jam tastes better than yours, why can't you bring some in for us to try?"

That one question stumped the waiter; it was indeed true.

"Well... that's just how our manager stipulates it, and there's nothing we can do about it."

Just then, the shopkeeper came over.

The shopkeeper, surnamed Wang, came over and asked, "What happened?"

The waiter then told Manager Wang about the matter, and Manager Wang said, "Sir, the reason we don't allow takeout is because we're afraid it will affect the taste of our food and lower the quality of the dish. Is that explanation acceptable to you?"

Su Xiaoxiao was not intimidated. She walked over and politely said to Manager Wang, "Hello, Manager Wang. The jam I made is very much to the liking of our customers. Everyone says it's good. Your restaurant is the biggest in town, and important guests usually come here to eat. I believe this jam will taste much better than the jam made by your head chef."

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's confidence, Manager Wang also tried it and then compared it with the jam made by the head chef of their restaurant.

"That's really the case."

The smooth and creamy jam is indeed a treat for both the palate and the eyes.

"But there's never been such a rule here, and I can't make that decision myself."

It turns out that Manager Wang was just the manager in charge of the Eight Immortals Restaurant; the real behind-the-scenes major shareholders were the Qian family.

The Qian family was a prominent family in Xianglan Ancient Town, with immense wealth; they were truly a wealthy family.

"Actually, I'd also like to import your jam, but it's not up to me to decide. Let's wait until our young master Qian comes to inspect the store before making a decision."

Although Manager Wang now likes this jam, his opinion doesn't count yet.

Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to give up. She had lunch with Sanlang there and left a jar of jam for Manager Wang.

After the two left, in the private room on the top floor, the curtain was lifted, revealing a young and handsome face staring at their backs with an enigmatic smile.

When Su Xiaoxiao returned to the market, she found that Sun Shi and Wang Er were so busy they were practically running around like headless chickens.

"Everyone's rushing over to grab the jam."

Sun used the word "rob," which is quite apt.

At the jam stall, many people were queuing up but couldn't get even a small amount of jam. Most of them were parents with children.

Su Xiaoxiao was very satisfied; this was a scene she had not expected.

She previously thought that hunting and picking bitter herbs were not very stable. Hunting was dangerous, and you might not encounter a tiger every day. But if you could turn jam into a business, then this would really have a bright future.

Su Xiaoxiao is glad that she still has this skill. If she can gradually expand the jam industry, she is confident that she can do her best to expand her business in the future.
