“Yes, because the patterns formed after salting the duck eggs resemble pine flowers, hence the name,”
“It’s a good name, looks quite unique too, yet the taste …”
After Zhang Yongchang ripped open one of the century eggs, he took a bite.
“Hmm… Rich in aroma, taste is light and fragrant, and has a nice aftertaste. If this century egg is mixed with soy sauce, vinegar, and minced garlic, it would definitely taste superb.”
After all, he’s a chef, just by tasting the ingredients he knows how to make them delicious.
Zhuang Qingning laughed, “It can be served cold, stir-fried, stewed, in soup, or even put into plain porridge to cook century eggs and lean meat congee. All ways are incredibly delicious. However, it all depends on how you, Uncle Zhang, choose to develop this new dish for Ruyi Pavilion.”
“Are you saying that we can sell this product in Ruyi Pavilion later?” Zhang Yongchang looked at Zhuang Qingning.
Because of a misunderstanding about the soy sauce braised bones incident, Feng Yongkang was quite confused. Zhang Yongchang was very dissatisfied with this, so for the handling of Ruyi Pavilion this time, he needed to be even more cautious.
“Of course! It’s not just for Ruyi Pavilion, I also plan to sell them in the county town and even the city!”
Zhuang Qingning giggled, “That’s why I sought Uncle Zhang today, to help promote the new products from my workshop and open up new markets. I want to take advantage of Uncle Zhang’s and Ruyi Pavilion’s reputation to sell these century eggs.”
But she probably has more plans than that.
Since he arrived at Ruyi Pavilion, he was mostly indulged by Chai Zhengzhen. But what he could bring to Ruyi Pavilion was almost the same old stuff. Although Chai Zhengzhen treasured them, the other workers were somewhat unsatisfied. If he could present astonishing new dishes at this time, he would surely win over others, and even Chai Zhengzhen would feel more confident. This Zhuang girl is truly considerate.
Everyone said that he took extra care of Zhuang Qingning and even fell out with Feng Yongkang, a shop manager they had for many years, for Zhuang Qingning’s sake. But truly, hasn’t Zhuang Qingning been taking care of him since they met?
“Since this can help you, I’ll do my best to think it over.” Zhang Yongchang said, “I will also discuss it with the shop manager later. After he tries the dish, it will be ready to serve.”
Even if he was just helping Zhuang Qingning sell these century eggs, their unique taste and lingering flavor convinced Zhang Yongchang that this could definitely make money in the future. If it can help Ruyi Pavilion make money, he can’t let Zhuang Qingning owe him this favor.
“You just watch, Uncle Zhang, I brought quite a lot of century eggs, enough for you to experiment with dishes. These century eggs mature faster than salted duck eggs, they can be produced in three or four days. The quantity by then will definitely be able to keep up. We can’t say how much we can produce, but we are sure to have enough.”
Zhuang Qingning said, “Once Uncle Zhang’s dish is out, and when we unseal our next barrel, I’m planning to ask Brother Dong to deliver it to the restaurants in the county town. By then, I hope to open up the market in the county town with Uncle Zhang’s new dish. We will see how the sales are then.” “What could go wrong? It’s definitely going to sell well.” Lian Rong served tea and chimed in, “Everything Miss Zhuang makes sells well. My lips that have tasted her dishes are very lucky, it will definitely work. Miss Zhuang, don’t worry, business will be booming, bringing in a flood of wealth.”
“I will trust your good words then.” Zhuang Qingning grinned.
After some more conversations, Zhuang Qingning went back to the tofu shop to get things in order.
Zhang Yongchang then went to find Chai Zhengzhen to discuss the century egg and the new dish.
Upon hearing the news, Chai Zhengzhen’s face lit up with excitement, his eyes sparkled.
