50 Chapter 50: Boss Fang

“Just deliver according to this requested amount for the time being. If you can’t get enough later, just send as much as you have.”

“Sure!” Qin Xiaoyao nodded hurriedly.

Only then did Uncle Zhao look at the things that the two of them had brought.

Other than the Chinese yams, there were also other vegetables.

“Oh, those vegetables are from Big Girl’s house,” Qin Xiaoyao said hurriedly.

She had already introduced Big Girl Li to Uncle Zhao just now. She said Big Girl Li was her sister and would deliver goods with her in the future.

Uncle Zhao nodded and didn’t say anything after listening.

The kitchen was also going out to buy vegetables at any rate, so it was fine to accept some vegetables as well since the amount was not much anyway.

“And one more thing, Uncle Zhao. I’ve brought other good things this time!” Qin Xiaoyao said quickly.

“Oh?” Uncle Zhao looked at Qin Xiaoyao, puzzled.

Qin Xiaoyao stood up and led Uncle Zhao to the bamboo basket backpack that contained the Chinese Toon shoots.

Then, she took out a Chinese Toon shoot and gave it to Uncle Zhao.

“This is a Chinese Toon shoot. It’s very delicious when stir-fried with eggs. Please smell it.” She said with a smile.

Uncle Zhao was skeptical, but he still brought the Chinese Toon shoot to his nose.

Immediately, he smelled a rich fragrance.

“If you can lend me the back kitchen in the back for a while, I’ll personally fry it for you to try,” Qin Xiaoyao continued.

Uncle Zhao was taken aback.

Thinking back to the Chinese yams, he hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Fortune Mansion’s business had improved significantly because of the Chinese yam dishes.

Now, there were even many customers who came just to have a taste of the Chinese yams cuisine.

If this Chinese Toon shoot could become the next Chinese yam, Fortune Mansion’s business might become even better.

Qin Xiaoyao’s face lit up.

“Thank you, Uncle Zhao!” She quickly thanked him.

Then, she followed Uncle Zhao to the back kitchen of Fortune Mansion.

Following that, in front of everyone, Qin Xiaoyao made scrambled eggs with Chinese Toon shoots.

This dish was extremely simple to cook.

Qin Xiaoyao only needed to wash the Chinese Toon shoots, cut them into small pieces, and then mix them up in the eggs.

Then, she simply cooked it according to the normal steps of cooking scrambled eggs.

In just a short while, Qin Xiaoyao was done with the dish.

The strong fragrance made everyone present crave it.

A waiter quickly went to get some bowls and chopsticks.

Uncle Zhao’s eyes were filled with anticipation. He picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of egg wrapped in Chinese Toon shoots from the plate.

Then, under everyone’s gaze, he put the egg into his mouth.

The strong fragrance instantly swept through his mouth, causing Uncle Zhao’s eyes to light up.

“This… this taste of the Chinese Toon shoots…”

It was way too fragrant, almost comparable to spices. At the same time, the fragrance was extremely pleasant and palatable, which was something that spices couldn’t achieve.

“I’ll go and look for the boss. You guys go outside and wait.” Uncle Zhao quickly said.

After he finished speaking, he took the plate and a pair of clean chopsticks and left.

Everyone in the kitchen looked at Qin Xiaoyao, curious to know what scrambled eggs with Chinese Toon shoots tasted like.

“I am not an expert cook, and my cooking skills are just average. It’s all because of the good ingredients that the food is delicious.” Qin Xiaoyao said to the chefs with a smile.

“This time, I’ve sent a lot of Chinese Toon shoots. If Fortune Mansion is willing to purchase, everyone should be able to make this dish.”

The chefs looked at one another, somewhat believing Qin Xiaoyao’s words.

They had seen this Qin girl cooking just now. Her cutting and cooking skills were indeed very ordinary.

In fact, based on their requirements, it might not even qualify as ordinary.

Therefore, the chefs stopped pestering Qin Xiaoyao and let her follow the waiter out of the kitchen.

In the backyard, the two didn’t have to wait long before Uncle Zhao returned. He even invited the boss of Fortune Mansion.

“Sanya, come and greet Boss Fang,” Uncle Zhao quickly stepped forward and introduced him to Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao hurriedly stood up with Big Girl Li and bowed to Boss Fang.

“Sanya hereby pays her respect to Boss Fang!” She said sweetly.

“Haha! It’s exactly as you described!” Boss Fang said while glancing at Uncle Zhao, making no sense whatsoever.

Uncle Zhao laughed. “I’ve embarrassed myself.”

The boss’ smile became more and more friendly, and he looked at Qin Sanya again.

“No need to stand on ceremony. I’ve worked with your Uncle Zhao for many years, and we have a personal friendship.”

“Since you call him Uncle, you can also call me Uncle.”

...

Qin Xiaoyao’s face lit up at once.

“My greetings to you, Uncle Fang!” she immediately said.

“Haha!” Boss Fang laughed again in amusement.

He was very satisfied with Qin Xiaoyao’s response and her calm attitude.

“Sit down and talk,” he said.

As Boss Fang spoke, he went to the stone table and sat down.

Uncle Zhao sat next to Boss Fang.

Qin Xiaoyao sat on the other side of Boss Fang.

As for Big Girl Li, she didn’t have the guts to sit, so she eventually chose to stand behind Qin Xiaoyao.

Boss Fang glanced at Big Girl Li, then at Qin Xiaoyao, who was sitting. He found Qin Xiaoyao more and more interesting.

“The Chinese yams and Chinese Toon shoots you sent are good stuff. Fortune Mansion intends to acquire from you on a long-term basis.” Boss Fang went straight to the point.

...

“Let’s discuss first. How much Chinese yams and Chinese Toon shoots do you have on your hands? Can you supply to Fortune Mansion on a long-term basis?”

Qin Xiaoyao’s expression was calm.

“With regard to the Chinese yams, we still have more than a thousand catties at home. In addition, we haven’t stopped searching the mountains, so we should be able to find more.”

“But it’s hard to pin down the exact amount.” Qin Xiaoyao said frankly.

Seeing Boss Fang nod his head, Qin Xiaoyao continued, “As for the Chinese Toon shoots, it’s much easier to settle.”

“We have more than a hundred Chinese Toon trees in our hands. After the shoots on the Chinese Toon trees are picked, new shoots will grow in two or three days.”

“So, if we deliver the goods once every two days, we should be able to deliver ten catties each time if we manage the harvesting reasonably.”

“In addition, Chinese Toon shoots are seasonal vegetables. It’s only available in spring. After this season, it won’t be available.”

Boss Fang nodded again.

“Do you know how to grow Chinese yam?” He suddenly asked Qin Xiaoyao.

If it could be grown, the Chinese yam-related dishes could really become a specialty dish on Fortune Mansion’s menu.

“I don’t,” Qin Xiaoyao smiled in embarrassment.

She didn’t want to plant it even if she knew.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Song family didn’t have any farmland, the planting cycle of Chinese yam was long.

Although she didn’t have to worry about caring for it, it would take two to three years from planting to reach the stage where the Chinese yam roots appear.

She simply didn’t have the patience.

Boss Fang’s face was filled with disappointment.

“Then how much do you know about Chinese yam’s habits?” he asked immediately.

He had a feeling that the girl in front of him was not that simple. She must know a lot about Chinese yam, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to recognize it.

Qin Xiaoyao chuckled.

She looked at Uncle Zhao, then at Boss Fang.

“Uncle Fang, if you want to plant Chinese yam, I’d advise you to be careful,” she continued.

Boss Fang was taken aback.

“Although Chinese yam is easy to grow and doesn’t need to be carefully managed, its growth cycle is too long. From planting until the point when the roots can be dug out, it will take two to three years.”

“At the moment, I’m afraid that only medicinal herb merchants would grow Chinese yam artificially.”

“After they dig out the Chinese yam, their main use is not for cooking, but to be cut into slices for making medicinal herbs. The profit is much higher than using them for cooking a dish.”
