Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating

Chapter 187: Chapter 188: Help with the Explosion Chapter 187: Chapter 188: Help with the Explosion The three set off for the State-owned Restaurant. Upon reaching there, Third Uncle Xu took out the prepared braised duck goods and a big bag of fried snacks.

“Brother Jian She, what are you doing?” asked a senior sales department employee with curiosity.

“You’ll find out once we’re inside,” Third Uncle Xu said as he carried his items into the State-owned Restaurant.

He found a middle seat and sat down nonchalantly, “Waiter, let’s order.”

The waiters at the State-owned Restaurant were snobbish and looked down on the customers. Seeing Third Uncle Xu, one of them started to shout, “Today we have pork, fried shredded potatoes, fried radish, cabbage stewed with glass noodles… What do you want?”

“Get me a portion of braised pork, and a dish of potato shreds, cabbage stewed with glass noodles, and that too. Also, three bowls of rice,” said Third Uncle Xu as he laughed and took out his own fried snacks.

He looked at the waitress and asked, “Girl, do you know these fried snacks?”

The waitress was stunned and looked puzzled, “What is this?”

“You don’t know fried snacks?” Third Uncle Xu suddenly sounded disdainful as he deliberately raised his voice.

The people nearby heard Third Uncle Xu’s voice and turned around to look, their gossip-loving nature spurring them to ask curiously, “What is that?”

“Fried snacks. Delicious stuff. These things are already selling like hotcakes in department stores elsewhere, and everyone is snatching them up. You really don’t know?” Third Uncle Xu looked at them with contempt, “These will soon be sold in Shanghai, and you haven’t even tasted them.”

The waitstaff, annoyed by Third Uncle Xu’s disdainful gaze, retorted angrily, “Don’t bullshit here. What’s so tasty about a bag of small snacks?”

“Whether it’s tasty or not, you gotta eat it to know,” Third Uncle Xu said with a smile.

The people around joined in the hype, “Yeah, you’ll only know if it’s tasty after you try it.”

“Then I’ll let you taste some of these, but please take just a little, everyone can only have half a piece,” Third Uncle Xu said, making a show of bringing out the braised duck goods.

Seeing the meat he was carrying, everyone was full of curiosity. With the mentality of not passing up a good deal, they all rushed over and the food was gone in an instant.

“Sss, what is this? It tastes so good. Is it duck meat?”

“Whoa, this thing is a bit spicy, but it’s strong. The more you eat, the tastier and more satisfying it gets.”

“What is this? Why is it so tasty? How come we don’t sell this here?”

“Exactly. No wonder Shanghai wants to stock these. They’re so delicious, totally crave-worthy.”

Third Uncle Xu was extremely pleased.

It was the older employee by his side who grew anxious, “Brother Jian She, these are meant to be sold. Why are you giving them away? It would be better for us to keep them for ourselves rather than waste them on others.”

Third Uncle Xu shook his head.

He took advantage of the moment to take out his own bag of fried snacks and looked at the waitress, “Waitress, could you take this bag of snacks to the back kitchen and fry them up? Then everyone can have a taste.”

The waitress initially looked troubled, but as the restaurant’s patrons all expressed their eagerness to try, they called out, “Waitress, just fry them for us. If it comes to it, we’ll pay for it.”

The waitress, urged on by everyone, reluctantly went to the back kitchen, found the head chef, and in the end, fried all the snacks.

What had once been ordinary snacks in a plain bag, once fried in hot oil, suddenly released an aromatic smell that wafted throughout the entire restaurant.

Everyone took a deep breath and simultaneously swallowed their saliva.

Even the chef who fried the snacks couldn’t resist snatching several pieces to eat on the side. After eating, his eyes lit up, “Head chef, this stuff is too tasty. You should try some.”

The head chef, half skeptical, pinched a piece and put it in his mouth; his face was instantly filled with shock. After finishing one, he hurriedly ran out, “Who made this fried dish?”

Third Uncle Xu waved his hand, “It was my niece.”

The head chef’s face was filled with excitement as he rushed towards Third Uncle Xu, eagerly shaking his hand, “Could I meet your niece, could she teach me how to make this fried dish?”

Third Uncle Xu was extremely proud but still shook his head, “This fried dish, as well as our braised duck, are ancestral recipes of the Xu Family that can’t be passed on to outsiders.

However, if your restaurant wants to sell these items, you can go to the Department Store to buy them.”

“The Department Store carries your products?” the crowd asked with curiosity, excited by the prospect. If true, they would have to buy some to take home.

This stuff was addictive and delicious; as a snack or a dish to accompany drinks at home, it was perfect.

Third Uncle Xu puffed out his chest, “We are about to start a collaboration with the Department Store. If you don’t believe it, just go and ask when the time comes.”

“Brother Jian She, isn’t this misleading?” an older coworker quickly interjected.

Third Uncle Xu immediately silenced him and continued, “When we launch our new product at the Department Store, we’ll have some promotions. Those who purchase in advance will receive small gifts.

Make sure you go early, or else you’ll miss out on the gifts.”

After hearing this, the crowd slapped their chests, “We’ll definitely go early.”

Third Uncle Xu’s braised duck and fried dishes were swept up by everyone, but he was not worried. After finishing his meal, he went to the guesthouse.

The young employee was a bit anxious, “Brother Jian She, aren’t we going to run for that collaboration?

What if we don’t secure a single deal after several days out?”

Third Uncle Xu lay on the bed, hands propping up his head, a candy in his mouth, and spoke leisurely, “What’s the rush? Someone will come to us proposing a collaboration.”

The young employee looked doubtful, “Really?”

“Just wait and see,” Third Uncle Xu said confidently. As soon as his words fell, someone knocked on the door.

“Is anyone here? I am the manager of the Department Store. I heard from the receiving clerks that you have a collaboration proposal to discuss with us?”

The young employee looked at Third Uncle Xu, shock written all over his face, “Brother Jian She, you’re incredible!”

Third Uncle Xu gave a modest smile and quickly jumped up from the bed, opening the door with a cheerful smile, “Hello, hello, we are from the sales department of the Food Factory; you must be the manager of the Department Store.

Our previous trip to your Department Store was quite the ordeal.”

The manager of the Department Store gave an awkward smile, “That was a mistake by the sales staff; I apologize on their behalf.

What business do you have in mind?” he asked knowingly.

The manager happened to be there when the representatives from the Food Factory came to discuss business and didn’t pay much attention at first. But after the State-owned Restaurant called them to order the fried dish and braised duck, he realized that this Food Factory from out of town was truly impressive.

Third Uncle Xu, a cunning man himself, didn’t let on but took out his family’s braised duck, “Our factory has recently launched two new products, braised duck, and fried dish.”

“This is our braised duck, you can give it a try,” Third Uncle Xu took out their popular spicy variety.

Served right for this guy making things difficult for him, not showing him a bit of color would have been unacceptable.

The manager of the Department Store looked at the vividly red duck product, his appetite surged, and he picked up a piece to taste.
