Chapter 340: Chapter 341: New Dishes

Zhang Guifang was also stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with shock as she looked at Xu Ying.

Chen Shaowen, clutching his dislocated wrist, burst into tears and looked at Xu Ying as he threatened, "Even if we divorce, not all children will be given to your aunt. I will have a share in the children too."

Hearing this, despair flashed in Zhang Guifang’s eyes, and the children became somewhat frightened.

Xu Ying smiled faintly, "You’re going to be in prison, and considering your character, you’re definitely not qualified to raise children. Sorry, but the children will definitely go to my aunt."

After she finished speaking, she turned to Director Hong and said, "Director Hong, since he has made a mistake, he naturally has to be taken away and taught a lesson. I won’t get involved anymore."

Director Hong nodded, waved his hand, and several subordinates came forward and swiftly subdued Chen Shaowen.

Mrs. Xu helped her own sister up, her heart aching, "Go back and pack your things, and move to our place. Yingying has built employee dormitories, and there are still vacant rooms now."

Zhang Guifang stood up, nodded her head, and thanked Xu Ying.

Seeing this, the three children looked at Xu Ying and each said obediently, "Thank you, cousin."

"Thank you, cousin."

"Thank you, cousin."

Xu Ying patted the children’s heads, "Such good kids."

She liked sensible and well-behaved children; those who were noisy made her annoyed at just a glance.

Mrs. Xu glanced at her daughter and let her continue with her work, then left with her sister and the nieces and nephews.

Mr. Sun continued to accompany Xu Ying towards the seasoning factory.

Mr. Sun had made a phone call ahead of time before their visit.

As soon as they got out of the car at the factory gate, Director Zhang of the seasoning factory, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted Mr. Sun with a warm smile, "Mr. Sun, you’ve finally arrived. I’ve been waiting for you for quite some time."

"Oh, we were delayed by an incident on the way. Let’s go to your office to talk, Director Zhang," said Mr. Sun with a serious face.

Director Zhang, somewhat excited by the words, immediately led them towards his office.

Once in the room, Director Zhang’s secretary quickly served them tea.

Sitting in his chair, Director Zhang rubbed his palms together in anticipation and asked, "Mr. Sun, what is this dipping sauce you mentioned?"

Under Director Zhang’s astonished gaze, Mr. Sun took out an array of both meat and vegetable dishes.

"Old Zhang, do you have a pot?"

"Ah?" Director Zhang was taken aback before quickly replying, "Yes, what do you need it for?"

"Don’t you want to see our dipping sauce? I will now demonstrate it for you. It’s guaranteed to be a big hit."

Director Zhang instructed his secretary to fetch a pot, and since there was no stove in his office, they had to move outside to cook.

As the hotpot base was added to the pot and hot water poured in, the aroma of the base instantly filled the air.

The enticing scent opened up people’s appetites.

Mr. Sun, imitating Xiao Xu’s techniques, added various dipping sauces one by one and mixed them together. He then dipped various meats and vegetables into the mixture, reminding Director Zhang, "You have to stand up and dip these veggies into the sauce to eat, don’t miss anything."

With the aroma becoming more intense, many staff from the seasoning factory peeked their heads around, attracted by the scent.

A clerk from the sales department, salivating at the aroma, couldn’t resist saying, "Director, what’s this smell? It’s so delicious."

Swallowing his saliva, Director Zhang replied irritably, "What else, it’s the dipping sauce we will be having in the future."

After finishing his words and swallowing his saliva, he looked at Mr. Sun eagerly and asked, "Is it ready yet?"

Mr. Sun looked at Xu’s eagerness and felt a sense of satisfaction, as he had been just like Old Zhang at one point.

He pretended to be profound and said, "That’s good, learn to eat it this way."

He picked up a piece of meat, fully coated it in the dipping sauce, and bit into the flavorful and tender meat infused with the appetizing scent of the sauce.

Director Zhang followed Mr. Sun’s lead and carefully mimicked his eating style.

After a bite, he felt a warm sensation, and especially the rich meaty flavor in his mouth was too delicious.

As a qualified director of a condiment factory, he certainly knew how delicious this dipping sauce was. As long as the Yu County Food Factory’s spicy hot pot could carve out a niche for itself.

The dipping sauce would surely become an instant hit.

Looking at the hot pot seasoning, Director Zhang chuckled and asked, "Mr. Sun, can your factory keep up with the production of this hot pot seasoning?

Otherwise, why not let our condiment factory take over?"

Mr. Sun opened his mouth as if to refuse.

Xu Ying stopped him and smilingly said to Director Zhang, "It’s not impossible, but our hot pot seasoning must be used in combination with the hot pot itself, and you have already tasted how delicious it is.

I believe that once it hits the market, it will definitely become a bestseller, and the profits it brings will not be meager. As long as the condiment factory agrees to produce seasonings exclusively for our food factory for the next three years,

and gives a twenty percent profit share to our food factory, I am willing to share the recipe for the hot pot seasoning with you."

Mr. Sun was somewhat anxious, looking at Xu Ying, not knowing what plan she had in mind, shaking his head and unequivocally rejecting her.

While Director Zhang was pondering, Xu Ying pulled Mr. Sun aside and said, "Director, we are currently overwhelmed with production and can’t keep up with the demand for hot pot seasoning. It wouldn’t be so bad if the condiment factory is willing to share profits with us.

And really, the hot pot seasoning is not that complicated; I estimate that it won’t be long before others figure out how to make it too.

There’s no need for us to set up a dedicated production line for hot pot seasoning, it’s not cost-effective."

Upon hearing her words, Mr. Sun had an epiphany, and looking at Director Zhang with a hint of difficulty said, "Old Zhang, let me be clear, we can’t give this away for nothing. You have to allocate some workshops and take on our production tasks."

It was no secret among the factories in Yu County that the Food Factory had more orders than it could fulfill.

He no longer concealed nor denied it.

After some consideration, Director Zhang found the idea feasible and immediately agreed to Mr. Sun’s request without hesitation. His factory had been stagnant for the last few years with no new innovations.

The performance had been declining steadily, and at this rate, layoffs seemed inevitable.

Naturally, he was happy to take on some of the business from Mr. Sun, and the two factories quickly signed a contract.

The Food Factory began transporting its goods to the condiment factory.

The collaboration between Yu County Food Factory and the condiment factory spread quickly, and new hot pot products were introduced by both the Food Factory and the condiment factory.

Now people could enjoy the ease of delicious hot pot at home.

Once the hot pot was launched, Xu Ying tirelessly hit the road to make sales. Her first stop was the Department Store Director Wang, where she directly stated her purpose.

Then she began promoting her own hot pot, "Director Wang, you must not underestimate our hot pot. The taste is absolutely exquisite, and if sold at your department store, it is sure to boost your sales performance."

Director Wang was hesitant, primarily because a full hot pot set was expensive, and ordinary people didn’t have that much spare cash to spend on such items.

Besides, placing this in their department store was, in effect, competing with the State-owned Restaurant, which would certainly upset Director Hong.

The most crucial point was that buying vegetables from the Food Factory was not as cost-effective as sourcing them independently.

"Xiao Xu, I naturally trust the taste of the food you produce, but our Department Store sells daily necessities. We can’t possibly turn into a restaurant," he said.

Xu Ying smiled and replied, "Director Wang, previously our braised items and fried goods sold really well, didn’t they?

This hot pot will definitely do the same. You have to have confidence in your Department Store."
