Chapter 53 Why is it so hard to curry favor?

After lunch.

Tiger dusted off his hands, glanced at the shop under renovation, and then went back to work with the ducks.

He Yu also went to plan his business, saying he was going to go street sweeping to find inspiration.

Zhang Moli went to the library to continue her research.

At noon, Lingyun asked Boss Zhou for a large batch of rice wine and soy sauce for seasoning, preparing to try it out.

After the goods arrive.

He immediately plunged into the dining car and got busy inside.

Three-cup chicken is not difficult to cook. The main thing is that after braising, you don't need to do much else. You can make ten pots at once without any problem.

Lingyun continued to ignite the fire.

He first tried different kinds of rice wine and soy sauce.

Thanks to the advanced technology of today, he was prepared to try all kinds of premium rice wines from various regions, as well as various light and dark soy sauces. He calculated that to make all of them, he would need to prepare more than twenty servings.

Ling Yun immediately opened fire.

The casserole was bubbling away on the stove, the lid bobbing slightly from the steam, and the aroma of rice wine and soy sauce wafted out from the cracks.

It wasn't until the last lid was tightly closed that Ling Yun suddenly realized what was happening.

He didn't invite anyone to eat this dish.

He picked up his phone, about to call He Yu, when Ning Jing suddenly appeared.

"Hey, chef."

She leaned over, glanced at the twenty clay pots piled high on the stoves inside the food cart, then looked at the empty space outside, a look of confusion appearing in her eyes:

"Who ordered these? Are they all takeout?"

"I'm not open for business yet."

Ling Yun wiped his forehead, and upon seeing Ning Jing appear, he immediately had an idea and said:

"Sister Ningjing, don't you have employees? Have you had lunch? These are all my sample dishes, why don't you invite them over to eat, it's free!"

"real?"

Looking at the steaming clay pots, Ning Jing asked, "What kind of dishes are these?"

"Three-cup chicken!"

Ling Yun wiped the water off her hands on her apron:

"I'll be tasting the food often, so I can let you know in advance if you want to eat here—it'll be a perk!"

It's not easy being a worker anyway, and since he needed to practice anyway, this was a good opportunity.

Seeing his enthusiasm, Ning Jing smiled slightly, her eyes curving into a beautiful arc:

"Let me ask. It's so late, I wonder how many people haven't eaten yet."

She lowered her head and made a few phone calls, quickly indicating that ten people would be coming.

There are still twenty people short.

Ling Yun pondered for a moment, then called He Yu again.

He Yu was still outside, but said he could go back to school immediately, which Ling Yun refused.

The people from Ningjing's side arrived first.

They set up the table and chairs on their own initiative, and when they sat down, there was something strange and inexplicable in their eyes as they looked at Ning Jing and Ling Yun.

I brought some duck products this morning.

I brought it to the stall at noon.

Their relationship is definitely not ordinary!

A few days ago, the person who was supposed to be calm came to the store and caused a scene.

Ning Jing hid on the first day, but returned to work on the second day, and even managed to drive the man away by scolding him.

Amidst everyone's curiosity...

I also began to speculate about the wild man he mentioned.

What happened today might not be as simple as just having a meal; it could be about recognizing people.

They exchanged coded messages with their eyes, and a few messages were sent to the group chat. Soon, more than a dozen people from other stores arrived.

"Didn't we say we'd already eaten? Everyone's come over, there might not even be enough to go around."

Ning Jing frowned slightly as she looked at the second group of people, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.

She had just overheard Ling Yun calling people over to eat on the phone, and it would be awkward if there weren't enough servings.

"Manager, don't be so stingy! It's a rare treat!"

One of the shop assistants spoke with a smirk and an ambiguous tone, which drew a burst of laughter.

Ning Jing subconsciously glanced back at Ling Yun, and seeing that he was still busy with his work, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She was very satisfied with her roommate.

She didn't want Ling Yun to be angry.

She gave her subordinate a silent glare, then went to the window and whispered an apology:

"Sorry, there were a few more people arriving later. But it's okay, we can just divide it up!"

A lot of people?

Ling Yun looked up suddenly and burst out laughing.

"It's great to have lots of people!"

Ling Yun grabbed her phone and quickly sent a message to He Yu, telling him not to go back to school, as the situation had been resolved.

Upon receiving the message, He Yu stared at the screen, feeling extremely frustrated.

Why is it so hard to sell well?

He secretly told himself that he must tell the chef earlier next time, just like he always told the chef that the dish was already being cooked.

"nailed it!"

Ling Yun put down his phone, ended the call, and excitedly waved his phone at Ning Jing.

Ning Jing pursed her lips slightly and gave a shy smile.

Anyone would think that Ling Yun rejected her on her behalf.

Thinking about this...

She rarely smiles, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips, and a thin layer of joy appeared between her brows and eyes.

"The food is served!"

Lingyun happily took the three-cup chicken out of the pot, and placed the portions of chicken with an A grade or higher on wooden trays to serve them out.

"I can do it!"

Ning Jing reached out and snatched the wooden plate from his hand:

"Go inside and get busy. Just leave it on the table, I'll pass it to you!"

it is good!

Ling Yun nodded in response.

Soon, thirty servings of Three Cup Chicken were neatly placed in front of more than a dozen real estate managers.

"bring it on!"

The shop assistants lifted the lids one by one, and white steam carrying a strong aroma rushed out.

Many of them had already eaten and came mainly to see people, but when so many portions were opened at once, the aroma of oil, soy sauce, and chicken mixed together like an invisible net, instantly pulling their appetites out of their stomachs.

"That's great!"

"This smells so good!"

"What's this dish called again? I'll have to learn how to make it next time!"

"Come on, they're professionals. How could you possibly achieve that flavor?"

"It tastes so good, I'd even learn half of it! Look at all that oil, my son would love it."

"If you like it, come back again next time!"

"Do you think the store manager would stand on ceremony with you?"

The staff ate with laughter and chatter, their chopsticks flying through the casserole. Even those who had already eaten lunch kept picking up their chopsticks, constantly complaining that they had eaten too early.

Ning Jing sat next to the food cart.

She reached out with her chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken that wasn't too big or too small, didn't eat it herself, but turned her head and gave it to Ling Yun:

"You've had a long day, have some!"

Ling Yun just wanted to try the taste, so without thinking much, he opened his mouth and ate it.

He used old-fashioned soy sauce in this dish.

I have to say, this tastes better than most light soy sauces.

However, he also noticed that some light soy sauces contain additives, and their flavor surpasses that of this old-fashioned soy sauce.

He's hesitating.

Is it better to use this old-fashioned soy sauce, or is it better to use that strong, light soy sauce?

Ling Yun scratched his head, preparing to experiment separately later to see which one could produce a god-level recipe.

Since I can't decide for myself, I can only go with my own taste.

He didn't seem to hesitate at all.

Ning Jing lowered her head and ate slowly and silently, a blush rising on her cheeks.

One hour later.

The eighteen real estate agents, each patting their round bellies, smiled and said goodbye to Ling Yun.

"Mr. Ling, thank you for the chicken!"

He deliberately dragged out the word "chicken" in his tone.

Ling Yun waved goodbye.

Ning Jing, however, saw through the mischievous laughter hidden in the group and quickly stepped forward, shoving and chasing them away.

However, they couldn't walk very fast either.

The eighteen people ate a full thirty servings. Many of them were so full that their necks were so swollen that they could barely bend over. They probably wouldn't be able to do anything in the afternoon and would just have to lie down to digest.

"That's great! Who says office workers have no energy? This is really good!"

Ling Yun stretched, his bones cracking twice. Seeing that it was almost three in the afternoon, he closed the dining car door, turned on the air conditioning for ventilation, and prepared to take a nap to conserve energy for the evening's work.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Wen, who was quietly and carefully reviewing his studies in the study room, heard the alarm ringing in his headphones, a reminder that it was time for him to go eat.

There are fewer people at five o'clock.

In another half hour, the cafeteria will get crowded.

He doesn't like things to be too noisy.

He closed the book and walked out of the library.

The cold wind outside immediately rushed into my neck, feeling like a knife.

Li Wen shrank his neck, changed his mind, went to the dormitory to put on a jacket, and put the books down while he was at it.

I changed my clothes.

Looking at the strong wind outside the window, he suddenly wanted to eat something hot.

So tempting.

The braised duck I had for lunch immediately came to mind.

The rich aroma of the sauce, the slight spiciness, and the lingering sweetness on the lips and teeth after finishing the bite all rushed up at once.

Steak should be hot, right?

He started walking towards the school gate, ready to give it a try.

As luck would have it, he ran into his three roommates who had just finished playing basketball as soon as he stepped outside.

When the group greeted each other, they were quite surprised to hear that Li Wen was actually planning to go out for a meal. So they decided on the spot to go out together for a change of pace.

on the road.

Li Wen wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.

Despite the awful wind and gloomy weather today, it seems like there are quite a lot of people heading out of the school gate.
