I've been possessed by a culinary genius, and I've turned Shaxian snacks into a rip-off!

After determining the price, Li Zhibai had to admit that his vision was still inferior to Tongzi's.

The system's idea of ​​selling by the block really gave him a lot of inspiration. He realized that prices could be manipulated in this way, which led to a further evolution in his unscrupulous practices.

He then took out a blank wooden sign and wrote the price of the new product on it.

[New Product Preview: Secret Recipe Braised Pork Belly]

Price: 99 yuan/piece

After writing it, I hung the sign directly next to Bodhi Jade Studio.

The two signs are hanging side by side, one for 1288 and the other for 99. This stark contrast can easily create an illusion.

Braised pork belly is so cheap! I have to get some!

After finalizing the launch of the new dishes, he began to think about the container for the braised pork.

The plates currently available in the store are too small and inadequate.

Imagine this: a wealthy man with a net worth of over 100 million sits down and orders a braised pork dish, only to be served a tiny plate the size of a palm with just a few pieces of meat on it. Isn't that humiliating?

The vision must be grand!

The presentation must be impressive!

We can't let the wealthy people of Jiangcheng think they can't even afford braised pork. We should make the Jiang family shout out that slogan: "Boss, one pot of braised pork, please! No, one pot per person!"

Only such a domineering way of shouting is worthy of the nickname "Master Jiang" who is not short of money.

Li Zhibai picked up his phone and sent a message to Su Su.

[Sister Su, when you deliver the ingredients today, could you please get me a few containers? They need to be big, nice-looking, and preferably imposing and classy, ​​the kind that give customers the feeling that even if the food in this bowl sold for ten thousand or eight thousand, it would be well worth it.]

Su Su replied quickly.

[Received, Master! I'll have someone bring over more samples later.]

After giving his instructions, Li Zhibai yawned. He had been studying this divine braised pork all night, and now that he was relaxed, he immediately felt sleepy.

He first went to the door to water the potted green ivy that had regained its lush green color, and then prepared to go to sleep. Just as he turned around, he suddenly saw a familiar figure squatting by the roadside in front of the shop.

The figure, dressed in a black business suit, was drawing circles on the ground with a small twig, her head bowed. The scene looked utterly desolate, a modern-day version of the Little Match Girl.

The "Choose Your Dish Based on Its Value" talent has been activated.

Customer: Wen Ran

[Personal Finances: White]

[Preferred food: Any food that can quickly replenish energy and soothe the soul, preferably free.]

Li Zhibai was stunned for a moment after seeing this message.

I haven't seen this girl for a few days, and she seems to be doing even worse than when she was fired by that unscrupulous company. She can barely afford to eat.

"Hey! Wen Ran, who are you trying to curse by squatting there drawing circles?"

Wen Ran suddenly turned around, stood up, and said awkwardly, "Boss, I'm just tired and want to rest for a while."

Li Zhibai looked her over and asked, "You don't seem to be doing quite right. Did you get scammed by the insurance company?"

Wen Ran nodded: "I thought I could get a decent job after jumping out of that pit, but it turns out I jumped from one fire pit into another."

Perhaps because she finally had someone to confide in, she told everyone about what had happened to her in the past few days.

That insurance company appears to be a legitimate, large corporation, and they receive daily pep talks, such as how much the top salesperson earns each month, and how you can achieve the same as them if you work hard.

She genuinely believed she had found a job where she could turn her life around through hard work.

But after only a few days, she discovered that it wasn't like that at all.

For a newcomer like her, the only way to make an effort is to recruit others.

Simply put, if you want to achieve results and meet performance targets in the early stages, you either need to buy insurance yourself or get your relatives and friends to buy insurance.

Although she was very proactive at work, going door-to-door every day, she really couldn't bring herself to sell insurance to her relatives and friends. As a result, she was criticized by her boss, who said that if she continued like this, she would eventually be fired, and even that she couldn't survive in Jiangcheng, as Jiangcheng doesn't support idlers, etc.

She made me lose confidence.

"Boss, I feel so lost. I feel like this city is so hostile towards me. I'm like a headless fly, bumping around everywhere, getting hurt and not knowing what to do. Am I really that useless?"

"I really miss life on campus now, at least I didn't have to worry about money for food tomorrow."

Li Zhibai was deeply moved when he heard her words.

Only after graduating and entering the workforce can one truly understand what it means to struggle.

He recalled that when he first graduated, he sent out dozens of resumes and went to dozens of interviews. Either the salary was too low, or they only hired experienced people, or they were scam companies that made empty promises and asked you to pay training fees first.

If you can't find a suitable job for a long time, you will become anxious and impatient, and you will be more likely to do some foolish things. Otherwise, he would not have impulsively decided to open a restaurant, which led to him being swindled by that bastard Zhao Lei and unknowingly saddled with a debt of 600,000 yuan.

The feeling of being repeatedly rubbed and ground down by life is not exactly the same as Wen Ran's current situation, but it is exactly the same.

"Alright, don't just stand here, come in with me," Li Zhibai said, and entered the store first.

Wen Ran followed him into the store.

Li Zhibai walked into the kitchen, opened the high-tech refrigerator, and took out several plates. The plates were filled with braised pork that he had spent the whole night making. The appearance and taste were quite good, but they hadn't reached the god-level.

For Li Zhibai, if it's not god-level, then it's a defective product.

Since he really couldn't finish it all, he decided to give it to her.

After heating it up slightly, he placed the plates of braised pork in front of Wen Ran, served her a large bowl of white rice, and then gestured:

"Eat."

Looking at the tempting plates of braised pork in front of her, Wen Ran couldn't help but swallow.

"Boss, I...I don't have any money."

"Defective products are free." Li Zhibai sat down opposite her and said, "Besides, when have you ever seen me give a customer a free meal? These defective products were meant to be disposed of anyway, so it's fine for you to eat them; it's not a waste."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ran didn't stand on ceremony anymore. She picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of braised pork, and put it in her mouth.

The pork skin is soft, chewy, and bouncy; the fatty parts melt in your mouth, while the lean meat is tender and juicy. The flavor is a perfect balance of salty and sweet, making it very delicious.

In that instant, all the worries, grievances, confusion and other emotions in her mind were cured by the braised pork.

"Mmm, delicious!"

"Boss, next time you have defective products, you can call me and I can help you deal with them." She couldn't help but say what was on her mind.

Realizing her mistake, she quickly added, "Oh no, that's not what I meant... I meant..."

For a moment, she didn't know how to explain it.

Li Zhibai laughed: "Sure, I'll come to you if I can't finish it."

At that moment, he suddenly noticed that his face seemed to have recovered and was not in so much pain anymore.

This discovery made him want to burst into laughter, but he held back because there were people sitting opposite him.

Wen Ran ate very quickly, as if she hadn't had a proper meal in a long time. She finished several plates of braised pork and two large bowls of rice all by herself in no time.

Of course, there weren't many of these braised pork pieces; they only added up to about ten, which was just enough for her to be full.

After finishing her meal, her face finally regained some vitality and radiance, and she thanked him again:

"Boss, thank you for your hospitality."

"No need to thank me, it has to be dealt with anyway." Li Zhibai said indifferently.

Wen Ran earnestly said something cryptic to Li Zhibai: "Boss, don't worry, I won't give up. I'm definitely quitting the insurance company, but I won't just slink away like this. Just wait and see."

After saying that, she got up and left.

Li Zhibai didn't understand what she meant by her last words, so he took out his phone and sent a message to Grandpa Huo.

[Uncle Huo, we've developed a new dish. If you have some free time today, you'd be welcome to come to the restaurant to try it and give us your feedback.]

A moment later, Grandpa Huo replied to the message.

【it is good! 】

Get it!

Li Zhibai put away his phone, yawned again, and knew he had to go to sleep.

If he doesn't go to sleep soon, he'll suddenly die here.
