Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 147 Still unfinished
Manager Li looked up at Xu Qingmeng and then said, "Then one bowl with sauce and one bowl without."

"okay!"

The waiter quickly ran to the kitchen.

During this time, the shopkeeper chatted with the two of them for a while and learned that Gu Yunyi was a student who came to take the academy examination this time, and Xu Qingmeng was accompanying him.

The shopkeeper's attitude improved considerably.

Speaking of Quan County, we also mentioned Wufangzhai, a famous restaurant in Quan County, where the pastries and other snacks are very delicious.

Xu Qingmeng smiled, but in her heart she was still thinking that Jinxiuxuan's reputation still needed to be built up. Apart from Quanxian County, most people only knew about Wufangzhai.

Soon, the waiter brought in two bowls of noodles.

Xu Qingmeng guided her from the side, scooping up a spoonful of chili oil and pouring it over the top, then casually mixing it.

Manager Li did as he was told, first eating the food from his own shop without any seasoning, and then frowned slightly.

The chili oil is fragrant enough, but ultimately, it's a bit bland. The saying goes that salt can make up for a hundred flavors, but if the saltiness is too weak, the combination with the somewhat spicy chili oil will feel a bit greasy.

That's why Xu Qingmeng didn't mind; she put less salt in this chili oil, making it specifically for the noodles in their shop.

Next, he tasted the one with the shop's sauce and the chili oil. The chili oil, combined with the sauce's dark color, made it even more tempting.

The aroma of the chili oil seemed to be instantly released, wafting towards you.

Without hesitation, Manager Li picked up a large mouthful of noodles. One bite revealed a rich, spicy flavor, and the noodles were incredibly chewy and smooth.

This gave Manager Li a great sense of satisfaction. He even wondered if he hadn't eaten enough that morning, because these few bites were making him feel hungrier and hungrier.

Then······
Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi exchanged a glance, then sat there watching Manager Li devour the entire large bowl of noodles.

Even though the spiciness made her mouth open and she was panting, she didn't lift her eyes once more, burying her head completely in the bowl.

After finishing a large bowl of noodles, Manager Li still felt a little unsatisfied, then realized that there were other people in the room.

Her face flushed slightly, and she looked at the two people in front of her apologetically. She cupped her hands and said, "I'm so sorry to have made you two laugh. It's just that I haven't had such a delicious meal in a long time. This unique sauce, the taste is really wonderful."

The shopkeeper wasn't clueless; he quickly realized the value of the chili oil and looked at the two people in front of him with increasingly kind eyes.

The shopkeeper was quite perceptive and knew that Xu Qingmeng was the one skilled in cooking here. He then asked her if the chili oil was versatile and could be used with any kind of noodles.

Xu Qingmeng didn't hide anything and explained in detail that there were two kinds of spicy chili oil, the one he ate was the spicier one, and the other one wasn't as spicy.

As long as you can handle the spiciness, you can add it to fried rice, fried noodles, noodle soup, or even dumplings.

However, the two types of cold noodles she prepared this time were specially made by Xu Qingmeng for his family, and she added extra oil to them.

Seeing that Xu Qingmeng spoke so eloquently, Manager Li's last bit of confidence was relieved, and he even thought that Xu Qingmeng's ancestors must have been skilled cooks.

Soon, Manager Li agreed to the cooperation with Xu Qingmeng.

However, how to cooperate is also a matter.

Xu Qingmeng would never sell the secret recipe. If she made it and sold it to a shop, Manager Li would definitely try to lower the price. However, he was also worried that Xu Qingmeng might sell the sauce to other noodle shops nearby, which would be a significant blow to them. So, after discussing it, the two decided that Manager Li would lower the price and give Xu Qingmeng a satisfactory price.

However, Xu Qingmeng needs to promise that within two years, if the noodle shop needs it, she will help adjust the recipe for the chili oil and make it to match their noodle shop's needs.

Manager Li originally wanted an exclusive right, preventing Xu Qingmeng from selling the restaurant to other eateries for three years.

However, Xu Qingmeng refused outright and truthfully informed him that Quan County had already produced a large quantity of it and sold it to general stores.

Therefore, Manager Li's idea had to be abandoned.

But it wasn't without its merits; Xu Qingmeng made the chili oil herself and could adjust it to suit different types of noodles.

The mass-produced version only comes in one flavor, so their company still has an advantage.

At least his family has seized this opportunity.

Everything had been agreed upon, and Manager Li had written the contract, which was written in a very standard manner.

This contract was much more extensive than the one they had casually signed with Shen Jinwen, and it involved many legal terms.

Xu Qingmeng also seemed to understand, but after only glancing at it, she casually handed it to Gu Yunyi, hoping he would take a look.

Gu Yunyi looked at it and confirmed that there were no problems, so both parties signed the agreement.

After signing the contract, I made an agreement with Manager Li before leaving that starting tomorrow, I would first deliver five catties of mildly spicy chili oil and ten catties of regular spicy chili oil.

It will be delivered every three days from now on, but the exact amount will depend on the results of tomorrow's delivery.

Xu Qingmeng felt she couldn't do any more, and she also needed to check with the general store to see if they had any raw materials.

After leaving the noodle shop, Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi went to the grocery store they had visited before.

When I looked at it before, there wasn't much chili powder or dried chili on display, so I don't know if the shop has any left.

The two arrived at the general store, where only half a bag remained. Xu Qingmeng bought the rest and asked the shopkeeper if they had any more in their storeroom.

The waiter was new and didn't know much about the business, but considering they ordered a lot, it was a considerable amount of money, so he quickly went to call the manager.

The shopkeeper, a man of many experience, didn't ask too many questions. He learned that the shopkeeper wanted dried chili peppers, chili powder, and Sichuan peppercorns, among other things, which were rarely sold.

They quickly sent someone to check the warehouse and found that there was more chili powder, about four bags, and about two bags of each of the other types.

The quantity isn't much, but it's definitely enough for this month. Even if there's more, it doesn't matter. These things can be stored separately, or they can be made into chili oil for storage.

If the noodle shop doesn't finish the noodles, they can simply take them back to Quan County and eat them slowly; that's perfectly fine.

However, I'm worried that if the noodle shop gets too busy, we might not have enough noodles.

Gu Yunyi said, "There are many general stores in the city, and this is not the biggest. He can go to other places to buy things later."
