43 Chapter 43 Promoting Bean Sprouts

After breakfast, Gu Chengrui borrowed Tian Jiawang’s cart and pushed the two pots of bean sprouts to town.

When they arrived in town, Gu Chengrui pushed the bean sprouts directly to a restaurant not far from the pier.

Zhou Ying looked at the red building not far from the restaurant and looked at Gu Chengrui in surprise. “Are you sure you want to sell it to Hongyun Restaurant?”

“Yes, when I went to town with you to sell the wild game, I had already inquired about it.

“Among the four restaurants in this town, only manager Liu of Hongyun restaurant gave the fairest and most trustworthy prices.

“The key was that Hongyun Restaurant is a chain restaurant, and there are rumors that there is a bigshot behind it.

“Even if the Qiao family finds out, they won’t dare go too far.” After Gu Chengrui finished explaining, he pushed the cart and turned it into a small alley.

When they arrived at the back door of Hongyun restaurant, they saw a few other vendors in front of them delivering ingredients, so the two of them had no choice but to line up obediently.

Soon, it was their turn. Gu Chengrui stepped forward and greeted the middle-aged man in a long robe. “Manager Liu, Gu Chengrui is here with the bean sprouts we discussed.”

Manager Liu was stunned for a moment. He turned his head, looked at him seriously, smiled, and said, “Oh, it’s you. I’ll have to take a good look at the rare thing you spoke of.”

After saying that, he walked to the front of the cart. Zhou Ying immediately lifted the wet cloth from the two water tanks and pointed at them. “These are green bean sprouts, vegetables suitable for stir-frying.

“These are normal bean sprouts. Although they can also be stir-fried, they will taste better if they go with pork. Of course, they are also delicious with fish.”

Manager Liu looked at Zhou Ying in surprise and asked, “You must be Mrs. Gu. Can you cook all the dishes you mentioned?”

“Yes, I’ve made them before. That’s why I recommend them.”

“Oh, then I wonder if I would be able to try your cooking?”

“Naturally.”

“Alright, please bring your things and follow me to the kitchen.” After Manager Liu finished speaking, he gave a few instructions to the waiter beside him and led them to the kitchen.

He entered the kitchen. Because it was still early, there were only two kitchen helpers prepping vegetables inside.

“Please go out and wait for a while,” Manager Liu said to the helpers.

“Yes.” The two assistants immediately put down their work and looked at the two of them curiously before turning to leave.

Manager Liu turned around and looked at Zhou Ying expectantly, “Mrs. Gu, you can take a look. If you need anything else, just let me know.”

“Wait a moment.” Zhou Ying walked around the kitchen and found that the cooking skills of this era had developed well. At least the commonly used spices were complete.

It was a pity that she was missing the main ingredient she would use today. The original her had it in her memory too. She turned to look at Manager Liu and asked, “Manager Liu, do you have chili? It’s as long as a finger, red in color, and tastes spicy.”

Manager Liu was stunned for a moment before he said, “You’re talking about peppers, right? That thing is usually used in colder places, so we don’t eat much of it here.”

“Do you have to use it?” he asked.

“Yes,”

“Then wait a moment.” After Manager Liu said that, he turned around and walked out. A moment later, he returned with a handful of chili and handed it to her. “Is this enough?”

“It’s sufficient.” After Zhou Ying took it, she hesitated momentarily and said, “If you’ve never eaten chili before, please wait outside. You’ll choke when I’m cooking.”

“Please do as you please.” Manager Liu turned around and left after that.

Gu Chengrui knew her plan, so when Manager Liu went out, he immediately picked up a carp and began to gut it.

Zhou Ying prepared the bean sprouts she needed and then diced some meat for later use.
