259 6.53 XO Sauce That Seals The New Edited Treaty (2/2)
”Waaahhhh... it is spicy but I liked it very much. It makes this plate of garlic fried rice to be more complete. Can we eat with ramen too? How about gyoza or other fried things?” Hanna and Eko commented and they finished up a dollop of XO Sauce and asked the 'aunties' for more.
Luckily I had taken a bit for the breakfast later and the 'aunties' had taken theirs too. There was a bit of XO Sauce remaining on the surface of the wok as well as the ladle. I asked for 6-8 plates of garlic fried rice and I dumped it in the wok and worked it up awhile, covering the rice with the balance of XO Sauce.
I offered who wants seconds and the plant managers all stood in line and Izumi stuck her tongue out to me when it was her turn to scoop the rice. Hahahahaha. Good food makes the world go round.
The employees that had tasted the XO Sauce was also looking for seconds. Well... I guess they have to wait for the production by the end of the construction of the New District. The effects of the XO Sauce made people crave over it. Even though I managed to cook about 1 kg or so but it manages to serve at least more than 50 dollops on the small dipping sauce bowl.
I had about 3 dollops on the small rice bowl and I told the 'aunties' to bring the breakfast up after the employees had taken theirs. They nodded and prepares the breakfast for the guests and us afterwards.
Normally, it was the norm to prepare the food for their higher-ups first and guests before serving the others. But in Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha, employees eat first. They are our backbone and their welfare is more important than ours. Since there were 72 cooks on the grounds for all the 12 plot of production lines, tending to the all the transitioning night and day employees for their breakfast, there's plenty of leftovers for seconds and thirds.
Breakfast was finally served and all our guests had come down from their sleeping quarters. I announced to the guests that, ”We are promoting a new sauce called XO Sauce. This sauce is being made up of dried chillies, boiled and then fried with some other ingredients. It would be available when the construction of the new warehouses would be ready. Please try it. It complements well with the fried rice.”
I said after I took a small portion for myself and everyone tried it as well. A few of them smelled it at first. Some find it intriguing while one or two of the barbarians thought it as disgusting as hell. I mixed the chilli on my rice and everyone copied it. The moment the ladies had a mouthful of it, their faces turned red and squeals of ”OISHI...! MASMASARAP...!! SEDAPNYA...!! HAOCHI...!! SI BEI HOCHIAK...!!! Yummy...!! And the rest all the usual 'NOM... NOM... NOM...' Hahahaha
”I'd say, Yours Truly... I really like...” Townsend Harris spoke up and was abruptly interrupted by me.
”The way the new treaty has been edited by us right? That's what you going to mention, am I right, Mr Townsend....?” I quipped in immediately, cutting off his conversation midway.
Townsend Harris looked at me in astonishment before he could even complete the sentence.
”Hahahahahaha... You are quite a conniving sly red fox, Yours Truly. I like that... Your XO Sauce and your edited Treaty. Both are spicy but very tasteful and full of flavours... I like it very much... Hahahaha. I like it very much...!!”
”I have decided to shut down the port of Shimoda and using Chiba and Shizuoka Prefectures to be the primary ports instead.” the Governor of Shimoda said as he ate in silence.
”Hahahahaha... It has been decided then...! That part of the treaty still stands, am I right, Yours Truly? Hahahahaha... ” Townsend Harris was laughing so hard that his dentures nearly flew onto the table. Ewwwwwwww...!
”Somethings off, but I can't place my finger on it at all...” I thought to myself as I glanced at the Governor of Shimoda and was silently enjoying his XO Sauce with the garlic fried rice.
