Chapter 162: Long-term business.

That’s a thousand taels! How many years does this store have to sell lo mein to earn that kind of money!

Wei Ruo smiled, “I’m not selling the marinade recipe, but I think I can talk to Boss Fan about another business that is guaranteed to be more suitable for Drunken Immortal Residence than this marinade recipe.”

Boss Shen had a puzzled look on his face, “The young gentleman has other business to talk to our son.”

“Yes, please ask Boss Shen to go back and talk to Boss Fan, if he really wants to, we can meet and talk.” Wei Ruo said.

Boss Shen looked at Wei Ruo and couldn’t help but be surprised.

This little male is really bold, he is a fledgling milky boy, how dare he open his mouth to directly find their son to talk about business.

Should I say he’s new to the game or is he courageous?

After pondering for a while, Boss Shen said, “Well then, I’ll go back now and ask for instructions from our Duke, please trouble young Duke to wait here for a while, I’ll go and return.”

“Good.” Wei Ruo agreed.

Boss Shen got up and left, quickly walking back to Drunken Immortal Residence.

In the box on the second floor, Boss Shen repeated the conversation he had just had.

“Oh? He has business to talk to me personally?” Fan Chengxu revealed an amused smile.

“Yes.”

Fan Chengxu pondered for a while before saying, “Bring him here.”

“Yes, I’m on my way.”

Because the two stores were close to each other, in less than an incense stick of time, Wei Ruo walked into the door of the Crane Pavilion Box on the second floor under the leadership of Boss Shen.

This time Fan Chengxu sized up Wei Ruo up close.

Not very old, petite, with a large greenish birthmark and unsightly moles on her face, her appearance was described as ugly.

Only that pair of eyes is clear and clean, soulful, is considered the only redeeming feature of this face.

“I heard Boss Shen say that you want to talk about a business deal with me?” Fan Chengxu looked at Wei Ruo with a smile.

“Yes.” Wei Ruo replied.

“Tell me.” Fan Chengxu slowly sipped his tea and waited for the words to follow.

“Drunken Immortal Residence is the most famous restaurant in Taizhou Prefecture, there are many varieties of dishes in the building, and marinara is just one of over a hundred kinds of dishes, and it’s not worth it to spend a large amount of money in order to buy a marinara, and I have something here that’s even more useful for Boss Fan that I want to supply for a long period of time to Boss Fan.”

“Oh? What is it?” Fan Chengxu admitted that he was not a little interested in what the young male in front of him had to say.

Wei Ruo didn’t answer directly, but instead took out three porcelain bottles from the brocade bag he brought with him.

Wei Ruo arranged the three bottles on the mahogany round table in front of him, lined up.

“These three bottles are all used for flavoring, it’s these spices that I use to sell marinades inside my marinade store, Boss Fan can take a look if he’s interested.” Wei Ruo said.

Fan Chengxu looked at the three porcelain vases in front of Wei Ruo.

After scrutinizing it for a while, he gave Boss Shen a wink.

Boss Shen immediately came forward and brought all three porcelain vases to Fan Chengxu’s attention.

Fan Chengxu opened a bottle and put it in front of his own nose and smelled it, it was all a scent, the flavor smelled rich and layered.

The flavor also did have some similarity to the aroma of the marinade sold inside Xu Ji’s marinade store.

Wei Ruo explained, “Smell directly so slightly punchy, but if you do it in the food, the taste will certainly be better, can be very good to neutralize some of the fishy, stinky smell inside the meat and fish.”

Van Seung-suk poured some of the powder inside out onto a saucer.

A dark brown powder that appears to be a mixture of many things, and just looking at it like that you can’t tell the exact ingredients without knowledge in the area.

Immediately after that, Fan Chengxu put down the first bottle and opened the second.

The second bottle has a more pronounced flavor if you use the smell, and is liquid when shaken.

So Fan Seung Wook poured some in a small bowl, and after seeing the dark brown liquid, Fan Seung Wook dipped some with his chopsticks and prepared to put it in his mouth.

“Your Excellency!” Boss Shen was a bit worried.

“It’s soy sauce.”

Fan Chengxu said and put it in his mouth, it tasted like soy sauce, only it was more flavorful and mellow than any soy sauce he had ever tasted before.

Not only is there a difference between good and bad wine, but the same goes for soy sauce, and the difference between good soy sauce and bad soy sauce is not half a star.

And the little bottle of soy sauce in front of you is without a doubt the best of the best.

Finally, Fan Chengxu opened the third bottle, which would contain not a powder or a liquid with a high fluidity.

He turned the bottle upside down for a few moments before a small amount of viscous liquid flowed out of it.

The color is a little lighter than that of soy sauce, and the color is glossy.

“What is it?” Fan Chengxu asked Wei Ruo.

“Oyster sauce.” Wei Ruo replied.

“Oyster sauce?”

“Yes, it’s a sauce made from boiled oysters with a delicious flavor that can be used for as much or as little food as you want to cook, and can also be eaten as a dipping sauce.” Wei Ruo replied.

She didn’t hide what the raw material of this thing was, after all, even if she told the other party that the raw material was oysters, the other party might not be able to produce the exact same oyster sauce.

Just like everyone knows that soy sauce is made from soybeans, but it’s the craftsmanship that counts when it comes to making good soy sauce.

After listening to Wei Ruo’s description, Fan Chengxu once again scrutinized the sticky state.

It’s impossible to see any connection between this and oysters just by looking at it.

Fan Chengxu picked up the chopsticks again, dipped them and put them in his mouth, savoring them.

The first reaction was freshness, a bright salty flavor characteristic of seafood, but without half the fishy taste that seafood can have.

The flavor is not as strong as soy sauce, but the texture is just as rich and enticing.

Three bottles of things have seen, except for the five spice powder did not taste, soy sauce and oyster sauce Fan Chengxu have tasted the flavor.

After a while, Fan Chengxu raised his head, his shrewd and sharp gaze falling onto Wei Ruo once again, “You want to sell me the formula of these spices?”

“No, I don’t sell recipes, I sell spices. I want to provide the Drunken Immortal Residence with spices for a long time.” Wei Ruo replied, his gaze confident and firm.

Wei Ruo’s answer surprised Fan Chengxu a bit, and he continued to inquire with interest, “Then how much inventory do you have on hand right now?”

“No.” Wei Ruo replied.

“No? Then you’re still talking big about entering into a long-term supply relationship with me.” Fan Chengxu asked.

“After reaching a relationship, I can immediately set up a workshop for production.” Wei Ruo replied.

“But you still have nothing now, which means you’re talking to me about a no-brainer?”

“My capital is the skills I have mastered, I know how to make these seasonings, I know how to conquer the taste buds of the diners, that’s my capital, they’re worth a lot. If they weren’t worth a lot of money, Boss Fan wouldn’t have asked Boss Shen to come over and purchase my marinade recipe today wouldn’t he?” Wei Ruo asked rhetorically.
