Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 261 - 262 Signing the First Order

Xu Ying felt it was terribly unfair, "Uncle, we are offering free tastings, not selling these. If you want to buy, you need to place an order with our factory."

Upon hearing her explanation, Wang Yong’an instantly realized that he had misunderstood, and a hint of embarrassment surfaced on his face. He said dryly, "Young lady, it was my mistake, I apologize.

But your fried snacks really are delicious. If I were to buy, how many could you give?"

He really did want to buy some to take back. Not long ago, his son had been at home, clamoring for something called ’braised duck goods,’ though he had no idea what that was.

The taste of these fried snacks was good too, and he was sure his son would like them.

Wang Yong’an’s family was well off; both his parents were employed workers, his wife was a worker, and his son was a blessing received in their later years after his wife had been unable to conceive for a long time.

After seeking medical advice to no avail and having resigned themselves to a childless life, out of the blue, his wife became pregnant.

Regarding this unexpected joy of a son, the couple doted on him immensely.

Recently the son had been nagging every day about wanting to eat ’braised duck goods,’ and Wang Yong’an had searched all over the nearby area but hadn’t found any such ’braised duck goods.’

Seeing his son distressed over the past few days, Wang Yong’an also felt uneasy.

Although he had never tasted these ’braised duck goods,’ the flavor of these fried snacks was truly exceptional.

Bringing these snacks home for the boy would definitely be a hit.

Looking at Xu Ying, Wang Yong’an rubbed his palms together, feeling a bit embarrassed; he had just been accusing her of profiteering, and now he seemed to have slapped his own face.

"Miss, could you sell me some of these fried snacks? I definitely won’t report you."

Xu Ying firmly shook her head, "Uncle, that’s not possible. These snacks are for promotional activities, and cannot be sold."

Wang Yong’an was out of options. Thinking of the recent welfare benefits in the factory, and looking at the tasting staff, who were mostly workers from the machinery factory, he asked, "Everyone, quiet down for a moment.

What do you think of the food from this young lady’s factory? If you all like it, we could change our welfare benefits this year to include these snacks, how about that?"

At his suggestion, employees from the factory collectively agreed, "Director Wang, I think it’s a great idea. Our factory benefits haven’t changed for decades; we’re all tired of the same old thing."

"That’s right, I think the braised flavors are really good, especially this ’braised duck goods!’ I want this one."

"What?" Wang Yong’an was stunned. Braised duck goods were exactly what he had been effortlessly searching for!

He’d spent half a month looking for braised duck goods, only for them to appear right in front of him.

He hurried over to the man who spoke and looked at the bright red braised meats displayed on the stand, asking in surprise, "Is this the braised duck?"

Third Uncle Xu nodded, "Yes, you can try our factory’s braised duck. The flavor is definitely good."

Wang Yong’an burst into laughter, "Ah, this braised duck has given me such trouble to find! I’ve been searching for it for half a month without any luck.

And now, it’s appeared right before my eyes. Quickly, pack up some braised duck for me, how much is it?"

Third Uncle Xu looked troubled, "Big brother, we don’t sell this braised duck; it’s only for tasting."

Wang Yong’an then realized his mistake and quickly said with a smile, "I misspoke. Who is in charge here?

Our factory wants to place an order for some braised duck and these fried snacks to give out as welfare benefits to our workers."

Xu Ying stepped forward.

Wang Yong’an was surprised to find that she was in charge of the matter; he had thought it might be the young man who had spoken to him earlier or perhaps an older woman nearby, but he hadn’t expected the person in charge to be a young girl.

Wang Yong’an was only momentarily surprised before he laughed and said, "What are the prices for your ’braised duck goods’ and fried snacks? We have quite a number of workers at our machinery factory, and the budget is only fifty thousand yuan. Please arrange something for us."

Xu Ying nodded, immediately took out a prepared contract, and with the signing of the deposit and contract, the first deal was sealed.

Qiao Yuzhu stood by, stunned. This could actually work.

As the employees of the mechanical factory began their shifts, the crowd tasting the food dwindled.

"Minister Xu, should we switch locations?" Qiao Yuzhu asked curiously.

Considering that they had already signed a contract with the mechanical factory and the deal was done, shouldn’t they be moving on to the next factory to host the event?

Xu Ying shook her head.

Qiao Yuzhu looked confused.

Why stay at the mechanical factory when they had already finished the event there?

"Why aren’t we leaving?"

"The mechanical factory, being the largest in the city, has a lot of influence. Any little thing that happens here naturally piques the curiosity of people from other factories, who will come to investigate. We’ll continue with the tasting event when they get off work. With so many people, employees from other factories will surely join us. We’re waiting for them to come to us. If we appear too eager, others might suspect we have ulterior motives," Xu Ying explained leisurely from her chair.

Qiao Yuzhu suddenly understood and admired Xu Ying even more.

Indeed, just as Xu Ying had said, the mechanical factory had plenty of employees. Those who had sampled the food in the morning were now spreading the word inside the factory.

By noon, even more people came to the front gate to try the food.

Being the most renowned factory in the city, any small occurrence instantly attracted employees from elsewhere to find out what was going on.

"What’s all this about?"

"Do I smell meat? It smells so good!"

"You guys might not know, but we’ve got a tasting event right here. It’s from the Yu County Food Factory. You can sample their products for free, and they’re delicious," said one of the mechanical factory’s employees with a smile, eyeing the long line and feeling anxious.

He wondered if there would be any left by the time it was his turn.

When people heard that there was free food, and it was meat, they lined up obediently in a long queue.

"This braised duck is delicious, spicy but sweet—it’s addictive," spoke Wang Li, an employee from the Magic City Food Factory. Her new boyfriend worked at the mechanical factory.

They had planned to have lunch together, and she hurried over as soon as her shift ended, only to discover the ongoing event.

Her boyfriend had tried the braised duck in the morning and couldn’t stop praising it, urging her to try it too.

Wang Li didn’t want to let her boyfriend down, so she joined the queue and tried a piece of the braised duck. With just one bite, she fell in love with it.

After the duck had all been eaten, the flavor lingered in her mouth, and she couldn’t forget it for a long time.

As soon as lunch was over, Wang Li ran toward the food factory.

Upon arriving at work, she eagerly shared the good news with her other friends in the factory.

"Do you guys know? There’s a stall outside the mechanical factory selling food products. It’s so tasty, and right now, there’s a free tasting going on. I heard it’s to survey the tastes of the Shanghai populace. You wouldn’t believe how many people are there, and everyone thinks it’s delicious. This survey will definitely show how good the product is, and then it’s bound to be sold in the Department Store. If you want to try it, hurry over after work. If you miss this event, they’ll start charging. Such delicious food, especially when it’s meat, will certainly be expensive."

And so, the word spread from one person to another, and soon every employee at the Magic City Food Factory knew about the Yu County Food Factory’s promotional event.
