Chapter 273: Chapter 273 Proof Chapter 273: Chapter 273 Proof “Oh? Is that so?”
Having heard Su Yunjin’s words, the manager Liu saw that she was very confident, and also noticed that Su Yunjin looked more astute and courageous than an average village woman.
He then adopted a different attitude, asking Su Yunjin with interest, “I wonder what delicacy the young mistress has to offer to the Fuman Building? Please do tell, let me listen.”
Setting down her carrying pole, Su Yunjin took out a clay bowl from within, then tore off the oil paper sealed on top of the bowl, “Manager Liu, you see, this is what I want to sell to the Fuman Building!”
After Su Yunjin’s processing, the pig blood had congealed into blocks akin to tofu, and its color had changed from the original bright red to a dark red. This was Manager Liu’s first time seeing pig blood prepared in this manner.
With some uncertainty, Manager Liu asked Su Yunjin, “Young mistress, is that pig blood in your bowl?”
“Indeed, what’s inside the bowl is truly pig blood!” Su Yunjin nodded.
Not to mention in the town, even in the villages, no one had ever eaten something like pig blood! Everyone thought that pig blood was inedible.
Naturally, Manager Liu also believed that pig blood was not edible.
At first, convinced by Su Yunjin’s strong confidence, Manager Liu thought that perhaps Su Yunjin did indeed have some profitable business to discuss with him.
Who could have imagined that the so-called profitable method Su Yunjin mentioned was pig blood?
His brow furrowed immediately, Manager Liu said, “Young mistress, how could one eat pig blood? You say you want to sell pig blood to me; aren’t you joking?”
Su Yunjin had anticipated this reaction from Manager Liu.
“Manager Liu, listen to me, not only is pig blood edible, but it also tastes quite excellent! It surpasses tofu–its taste is far better and not at all inferior!”
Manager Liu was dubious about Su Yunjin’s words, “Young mistress, you say this pig blood is edible? How can you prove it? And does the pig blood really taste as good as you claim?”
Talking was not as convincing as letting Manager Liu taste for himself, so now Su Yunjin intended to cook the pig blood she brought into a dish for Manager Liu to try.
Once he tasted it, whether it was delicious or not, Manager Liu would be able to tell for himself–he wouldn’t need her to explain any further.
“Manager Liu, if you don’t believe what I say, then I can go to the kitchen right now to cook this pig blood for you to taste. May I borrow the kitchen of Fuman Building for this purpose?”
Su Yunjin wanted to use the kitchen, and Manager Liu was also interested in tasting whether the pig blood was really as delicious as Su Yunjin had described.
He immediately agreed, saying, “Of course you can!”
With Manager Liu’s permission, holding that bowl of pig blood, Su Yunjin accompanied him to the Fuman Building’s kitchen. The Fuman Building had the largest restaurant in town, and its kitchen was correspondingly large and spacious, with everything arranged in an orderly manner. Even with over ten cooks frying dishes at the same time, it still didn’t feel crowded or chaotic.
Yunjin glanced around and noticed a few empty stoves not being used. Standing next to Yunjin, Manager Liu pointed to those unoccupied stoves and said to her, “Young mistress, those stoves are available. Now, you can freely choose one to use.”
“Hmm!” Su Yunjin, holding the pig blood, went over to the vacant stoves, choosing the one on the far left to use.
