EBE Chapter 179 If It Could Be His
Chapter 179 If It Could Be His
I acted very cool in front of the employees, but actually I felt a little embarrassed to come here.
Fang Zhuoyong prepared himself mentally for a long time at the door of the small kitchen, until the waiter brought the materials Xia Anan needed, and then he carried them in.
"Hey, what are you making? It looks like tofu, but I've never seen tofu of this color."
Xia Anan looked up and found that there was a fat man in the small kitchen. He was wearing a formal suit.
Seeing her eyes fall on the nameplate on his chest, Fang Zhuoyong quickly said: "Hello, I am the manager of this hotel. My last name is Fang, Fang Zhuoyong."
"Hello, Manager Fang." Xiaoling greeted him, "We are making konjac. As for what it tastes like, you have to wait a while."
"Konjac? What is konjac?"
Fang Zhuoyong grew up in a mountain city and had never heard of something called konjac.
Xiaoling laughed. It seemed that she was not ignorant. Even the hotel manager didn't know what konjac was.
"It's... it's dug in the mountains, it's this big. The local villagers said it's poisonous, but An An is very capable and can make it delicious."
Fang Zhuoyong thought about it and had the impression that there seemed to be such a thing in the mountains, but because it was poisonous, no one ate it normally. People were afraid that it would harm the livestock at home, so no one went to dig it up.
The girl in front of me doesn’t look very old, how does she know that this thing is edible?
"Isn't that thing poisonous? Why are you still cooking it and eating it?"
Xia Anan had already cut all the konjac into small pieces. "It's already been cleaned, so it's okay to eat it now. By the way, we met in the hotel restaurant at noon, right?"
Fang Zhuoyong didn't expect that the other party actually still remembered it. Did he also know that he had eavesdropped?
Look at this, it's so ugly...
"Yes, yes, in fact, we met in the restaurant last night. I saw that the dishes you had looked very good, and I thought they were new dishes in the hotel. When I asked, I found out that you prepared the ingredients yourself."
"I wanted to ask you at noon, but I saw you were talking about something, so I didn't want to disturb you."
So that's how it is. When Xia Anan saw him sneaking around at noon, she thought he was her fan, but she didn't expect this was the reason.
But from another perspective, I was also attracted by the konjac I made myself.
Xiaoling smiled and said, "It seems that no matter where you go, An An, the things you make are equally attractive! Manager Fang, if we want to sell this thing, we will contact you first!"
Fang Zhuoyong knew that it was right to take the first step bravely. Look, isn’t it?
"But, you said the food she made... Could this person also be a chef?"
Xiao Ling glanced at Xia An'an, and seeing that she didn't object, she spoke up: "Boss, I wonder if you have heard of the snack street in Jing City? She is Sister Xia! All the delicacies in the snack street are made by her!"
As she said this, she couldn't help feeling proud.
"Are you Sister Xia? The Sister Xia who runs the snack street in Beijing?"
Fang Zhuoyong's eyes widened with surprise. Although he had never been to any snack street in Beijing, the news about the snack street had spread throughout the catering industry.
He had a few friends who said they wanted to go to Beijing to learn something and see if they could come back and open a snack street locally.
Because Xia Anan rarely appears in front of live cameras, most people's attention is on snacks, and the same is true for Fang Zhuoyong.
If it weren't for this konjac, he really wouldn't have recognized that the person in front of him was the famous Sister Xia.
"I really didn't recognize the real talent!"
Ten minutes ago, Fang Zhuoyong came over to inquire about the news just because of this strange thing called konjac. Now, his heart is filled with the excitement of a fan meeting his idol.
No wonder the other party could make such strange things. After knowing that she was Sister Xia, everything seemed to make sense.
While the two were talking, Xia Anan had already prepared the konjac. She put it all into a large bowl, added salt and seasonings, and finally put chili powder on top. Then she poured hot oil on it and the aroma filled the air.
Finally, stir evenly with chopsticks, and this simple version of konjac cake is ready!
Xia Anan scooped out a portion and divided it into two plates. "How do you two taste it?"
"Okay! I can't wait!"
Xiaoling took out her chopsticks and picked up some. The konjac was cut into thin strips, each of which was covered with red oil, which looked very appetizing.
The taste is different from the konjac stewed in meat. It is a bit crunchy and very appetizing. I want to eat more after eating it...
Fang Zhuoyong didn't expect that he could get a plate. It seems that he really came to the right place!
When I took a bite with chopsticks, although it was not meat, it had a similar texture to meat, like tripe?
The taste of red oil is very stimulating but not too spicy. If it is served as an appetizer or cold dish, it will definitely be very popular.
"Sister Xia, how exactly is this made? It's so delicious!"
Fang Zhuoyong seemed to know why so many people like the snack street. If every snack in the snack street was so delicious, who wouldn’t like it?
"I can't tell you this, it's a secret recipe."
Xia Anan had already guessed why the other party came to find them, but the key to wealth must still be firmly in her own hands.
If she could tell the other party so easily, how could she still make money...
Fang Zhuoyong felt a little regretful. Could it be that such delicious food really not belong to their hotel?
Even if I don't give them a hotel, it would be good if I could eat there regularly.
"Sister Xia, can't you tell me? Our hotel can pay for it! Just name a price and we can negotiate everything!"
Xiaoling looked up, shocked. How could this hotel manager be conquered by just this plate of cold konjac? How could it not be real?
"Well... let me think about it."
Xia Anan poured the remaining food into a larger plate and divided the remaining food between the two plates.
Seeing that she was about to give in, Fang Zhuoyong continued, "I see that you have just arrived in Shancheng these past two days. Although our hotel is not as good as those five-star hotels, it is still first-class in Shancheng.
Sell me the formula for this thing, and we can be friends. I can also help you if you have any problems!"
Fang Zhuoyong chased all the way from the hotel's kitchenette to the restaurant without putting down the plate of konjac noodles.
Xia Anan was moved by these words.
They had just come to the mountain city to develop and really needed a local friend.
"What are you doing?"
Pei Yuanbai saw this scene when he came back. A man was following Xia Anan and Xiaoling, and he didn't look like a good person.
Fang Zhuoyong gave up his seat: "Hello, hello, I am the manager of the hotel, I want to discuss business with Sister Xia..."
