Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 167 - 168: Salary Day

Chapter 167: Chapter 168: Salary Day

“Xiao Xu, what you just said wasn’t bad. Our duck products really don’t have a big enough name; do you have any ways to help us get these products selling smoothly?” Mr. Sun now had a newfound respect for Xu Ying.

This girl was clever, wasn’t there anything she couldn’t do?

Xu Ying humbly smiled, thinking of her third uncle, and enthusiastically recommended herself, “Mr. Sun, if you trust me, I can recommend someone for you, my third uncle. He has quite the gift of gab.

And he’s thick-skinned too, perfect for running sales. If he really brings in a big order for the factory, you could give him a commission; and if he doesn’t, we won’t take any money, so you wouldn’t lose anything, right?”

Mr. Sun rubbed the few hairs on his head, clearly excited, and smiled in agreement, “Alright, I do want to see if your third uncle is as smart as you.”

Secretary Zhang’s nervous sweat gradually disappeared. The factory manager wasn’t angry; the sun really must have risen from the west.

But this Xiao Xu really did have a way with words, a young girl speaking like this to their factory manager.

“I guarantee you won’t be disappointed, Mr. Sun.” Xu Ying said with a smile, confident in her third uncle’s abilities; otherwise, he wouldn’t have succeeded in his previous life.

Mr. Sun was satisfied and saw Xu Ying out.

Once Xu Ying left the factory, she felt particularly good, humming a tune and carrying a bag full of money.

Reaching a secluded corner, she directly stored all the money in her space.

Now, she was a thousandaire.

“Xu Ying!” A voice called out from behind, and as Xu Ying turned her head, she saw Dong Wenqiang with a flushed, excited face.

“What’s up?” Xu Ying asked from a distance.

Dong Wenqiang, thinking himself quite dashing, struck a handsome pose with one hand against a tree and one foot leaning forward, proudly touching his hair.

It didn’t last a minute before he cracked a grin and swiftly pulled out a handful of candies from his pocket: “Xu Ying, have some wedding candies, I’m getting married!”

“With Gu Funing?” Xu Ying asked in surprise, amazed at how quickly things had progressed for him. “Did her parents agree?”

Proudly, Dong Wenqiang responded, “Gu Funing is already pregnant; what else can we do but get married.”

Xu Ying looked at Dong Wenqiang’s expression and recognized his family’s typical style; however, Gu Funing wasn’t much better—those two were well suited for each other.

Thinking of Chen Yanran, she smiled and said, “Chen Yanran is pregnant too. Judging by the timing, it must be either your child or your brother’s, right?”

Hearing this, Dong Wenqiang’s face changed instantly—the woman had gotten pregnant; who knew if it was his or his brother’s!

This child absolutely couldn’t be kept.

Xu Ying left while he was still in shock.

Arriving at the restaurant, it was already busy, so Xu Ying quickly changed into her work clothes and got busy.

Duck was still the bestseller in the shop, as it was delicious and suited for accompanying drinks.

With some drinks and peanuts, having a meal at home after work was simply too enjoyable.

“Master Xiao Xu, do we have any new dishes today?”

Xu Ying changed the menu every once in a while, and everyone always looked forward to the new recipes.

With twinkling eyes, Xu Ying smiled, “There definitely are new recipes. Today we got a batch of pork. Everyone will be able to have some of the pork lunch dishes today.”

She had unlocked all-purpose frying recipes, but had been too occupied with duck products and her cousin’s affairs to try them out.

Today, finding some spare time, she decided to try these all-purpose frying recipes.

Fried dishes were plenty, Xu Ying picked several of her own favorites, now that she had the ingredients.

“Master Xu, what are you making?” Liu Guohua curiously came over.

“Fried crispy meatballs, fried small yellow fish, fried chicken cutlets, fried mushrooms…” Xu Ying promptly listed seven or eight fried dishes.

Liu Guohua’s eyes lit up at once, a look of pleading in his gaze as he looked at Xu Ying.

“What do you want?” Xu Ying glanced at him with disdain.

With a hee-hee and a humble bow, Liu Guohua said ingratiatingly, “Master Xu, can I help you out and watch how you do it?”

Xu Ying didn’t refuse. She hadn’t hidden her cooking skills before when Zhang Youquan was around either. As for how much they could learn, that was their own business.

It was foolish not to take advantage of free help.

She nodded and immediately began instructing Liu Guohua, “Go cut this lean pork into strips, and these chicken breasts into thin, large slices.

Clean the mushrooms as well, and wash the small yellow fish.”

With Liu Guohua’s help, the speed picked up quite a bit.

As soon as he cleaned an item, Xu Ying started marinating the ingredients, then coated them with egg and flour and began frying.

Liu Guohua washed while watching Xu Ying marinate and start the frying process.

Liu Guohua had a talent for cooking; after watching Xu Ying a few times, he roughly knew how it was done.

After washing the items Xu Ying had tasked him with, he quickly washed his hands, dried them, and ran over to Xu Ying.

With no shame, he said, “Master Xu, I just saw how you fried those things. It’s mainly marinating, then coating with egg and flour, right?

Let me do the last batch of mushrooms?” Liu Guohua finished, his face full of hope as he looked at her.

Xu Ying didn’t refuse; frying mushrooms was the easiest of the fried foods after all.

With her supervision, they wouldn’t be ruined.

Chef Ge was leisurely and at ease; having someone else mentor was even better.

He occasionally peeked at the two of them. While they weren’t paying attention, he stealthily took a piece of fried food from the tray.

He savored it deliciously.

Fried mushrooms were regular food items made primarily of mushrooms.

But people in those times only knew that mushrooms could be used for soup or stir-fry; they didn’t know about frying them yet.

Xu Ying truly loved this; the freshly fried mushrooms were fragrant and crispy, crumbling delightfully.

However, fried mushrooms also had a downside; they needed to be eaten hot, as they lost their crispiness if they sat too long.

After washing the mushrooms and blanching them briefly in boiling water, Liu Guohua drained them with Xu Ying guiding him on the side.

“Mushrooms need to be thoroughly washed and squeezed dry. Remember to squeeze them fairly dry, or they won’t be crispy when fried.”

Liu Guohua obediently did as she instructed.

Next, he tore the mushrooms into strips and added salt, chili powder, and pepper.

He took a large bowl, cracked an egg into it, beat it with chopsticks, added flour and the right amount of water to make a batter, and dipped the mushrooms in it.

He heated the oil in a pan over high heat, coated the mushrooms with the batter, and fried them until golden brown. He then drained them on a flat plate and drizzled sesame oil on top.

Sprinkled with cumin powder, the flavor was both delicious and aromatic.

Once the fried food was ready, the restaurant was filled with the fragrance of meat and the smell of frying oil.

Some people couldn’t wait any longer and ran to the order area, curiously asking Sun Lifang, “What has Master Xiao Xu made today? It smells so good!

It smells like there’s fried crispy meat!”

Sun Lifang smiled and told them, “Today, it’s not just crispy meat, there’s fried small yellow fish too, fried mushrooms…”
