Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 120 I Can't Go Cooking

About a month ago, one afternoon around 3 PM, the owner suddenly brought in dozens of customers. They were scrambling around like crazy, but finally managed to serve all the dishes.

Not long after, the fat man, who was eating raw eggplant again, was called away by the boss.

Fatty Huang was completely stunned. He lost his job over a few bites of eggplant, and he almost burst into tears on the spot.

He has an eighty-year-old mother to support and a baby crying for food. Without his job, his family is left with nothing but the northwest wind.

It's still cold, the northwest wind is fierce, and it's carrying sand from the north. We have a fairly plentiful meal with rice and vegetables...

As the chubby man trembled all the way into a private room, he discovered that the dismissal was completely unfounded.

A very fashionable businessman with slicked-back hair asked with a smile, "How do you make spicy and sour cabbage? It's so delicious!"

Fatty Huang, standing at attention like a bear, straightened his back and became more assertive. "Speaking of this spicy and sour cabbage, it..."

He rambled on and on, and then, almost unconsciously, noticed something on the table—the base of the hot and sour cabbage.

He didn't cook that hot and sour cabbage!

Don't ask him how he knows; it's something that can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words.

Then, the kitchen followed the clues and found the creator of that hot and sour cabbage dish, Xiao Liu, Huang Pangzi's apprentice.

Xiao Liu was completely bewildered, unsure of what to do with his hands and feet, and unable to explain himself at all.

The hot and sour cabbage was all eaten, leaving the chefs completely bewildered, having no idea what that incredibly delicious hot and sour cabbage was like.

Forgive them for being unsophisticated and not knowing what's so special about cabbage...

Finally, their boss came out and said it was the best hot and sour cabbage he had ever eaten. If the method wasn't anything special, then the problem lay with the cabbage itself.

The owner and chefs transformed into Sherlock Holmes, and after some investigation, their eyes all fell on the kitchen.

The vegetable basket that appeared out of nowhere contained a few pieces of broken cabbage leaves.

If Luo Ning were here, she would definitely tell everyone that this was no ordinary cabbage; it was a cabbage with a soul, its leaves crystal clear and radiating the luster of jade…

The case is solved; it really was a problem with the cabbage!

The chefs looked at each other, none of them able to say when the basket and the magical cabbage had appeared, or who had delivered them.

How could cabbage appear out of thin air? How could it end up in the kitchen? Don't make wild guesses and indulge in superstition; trust science. Considering current technology, the weight of the basket, the weight of the cabbage, and real-time wind speed, everyone agrees...

This was done by a ghost!

They had been waiting for the ghost to come to their door for days, calling and hoping and yearning, and finally the ghost appeared.

Look, that ghost is Luo Ning!

The owner, who had been pacing around the shop, heard the commotion in the kitchen and ran over excitedly. He saw a girl standing in the kitchen, and Fatty Huang kept winking at him.

The boss immediately understood and enthusiastically extended his hand, "Comrade, it's a pleasure to meet you! I've been waiting for you for ages!"

Luo Ning reached out a paw to touch it and then immediately withdrew, secretly thinking to herself, "This is the style I'm going for!"

"What are you waiting for me for? I'm not your type! I can't be cooked!"

The boss burst into laughter, "You're quite the joker, young man! You're not our type, but you've got some good stuff to offer! Tea and pastries are ready in the private room downstairs. Shall we talk in private for a moment?"

Bingo! Luo Ning clenched his fist excitedly; now he finally had the right script.

She has a great temper and forgave those big idiots who got the wrong script!

Downstairs, in the "Eat As You Like" private room, Luo Ning held a teacup to warm her hands and looked at the boss across from her, who was smiling like a chrysanthemum, speechless.

"Hey Mr. Zhang, are you done laughing? I'm busy right now. I've left over thirty baskets in the kitchens of restaurants in Jiangbei and several nearby cities. I have to collect them one by one. You're just the first one! The rest of you are lining up and waiting for me..."

Mr. Zhang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stopped smiling. "I'll take all the dishes you have, don't go looking for anyone else!"

Luo Ning put down his teacup and started tapping the table absentmindedly.

"That depends on whether the price Mr. Zhang offers is within my budget! The vegetables I have are one of a kind in the world. They not only taste good, but they are also fresh and come in a wide variety. There's nothing I can't grow, only things you can't imagine. Plus, my vegetables can be preserved for at least three days without losing their original flavor!"

Mr. Zhang's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands excitedly. "How about I give you a penny more than the market price?"

Luo Ning lowered his eyes and pondered for a while. "Boss Zhang, if I sell to you, I won't sell to anyone else. It's like you've monopolized the best-tasting vegetables in the world. I have a continuous supply. One cent is a bit low. Add five cents, and I'll do the business with you!"

Mr. Zhang was already feeling the pinch, and adding another five points would feel like cutting off a piece of his flesh, but this little girl's dishes were truly one of a kind.

He was caught in an unprecedented dilemma.

Luo Ning held the now-cold teacup to warm her hands; it was better than nothing.

She believed that Mr. Zhang would agree to increase the money, but he just needed her to make the decision.

"Mr. Zhang, please think it over carefully. I have something else to attend to!" Luo Ning put down his teacup, picked up his basket, and prepared to leave.

"Don't do that, sit down a bit more!" Boss Zhang hurriedly stopped him. If this girl left, his vegetable business would be ruined. He gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Okay, I'll add 15 cents to the market price! But you absolutely must promise that you won't do this business with any other company!"

"You can rest assured, we can sign a contract! Once the contract is signed, it will be legally binding, and I won't be able to sell the vegetables to others."

One thing I must clarify first is that this price is only for the next three months. I will adjust the price appropriately based on market prices and Mr. Zhang's restaurant business. But don't worry, the price increase will be within your budget.

Luo Ning thought to himself, "This vegetable business is not like hair accessories. Hair accessories can only earn so much, but vegetables can earn a lot more."

She has the best-tasting vegetables in the world. First Floor will definitely make a fortune from her vegetable franchise. If she maintains the original price, she'll be a fool.

"I'm only signing this contract for one year. I'll supply vegetables based on your restaurant's sales volume each month, and I'll deliver the vegetables every three days! It will be settled in cash. If Mr. Zhang agrees, then we'll sign this contract. If not, then I'll have to go collect the baskets!"

Upon hearing the call to collect the baskets, Mr. Zhang panicked.

This girl is incredibly clever, a real little fox, but her vegetables are truly excellent!

"Sign, sign right now!" Boss Zhang gritted his teeth and kicked the door open. Although he didn't know how the business would turn out in the future, the girl's vegetables gave him confidence.

“Okay, Mr. Zhang is a straightforward person!” Luo Ning took out the contract he had prepared in advance and pushed it in front of Mr. Zhang.

"Look, if there are no problems, you can sign it!"

Mr. Zhang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled.

"I've lived this long and I've never met such a shrewd girl like you before. You were so sure I would agree, weren't you!"

Luo Ning smiled and said, "It's fine if you don't agree. This is a two-way selection process, it's voluntary. Anyway, the price is the same no matter who I cooperate with! The contract is fixed, but the partner is flexible! My basket..."

"I'll sign, I'll sign right away!" Boss Zhang was truly impressed by Luo Ning; she gave him exactly what he feared.

He read the contract carefully several times and found that everything Luo Ning had said earlier was written in the contract. This girl was really cunning, but this was also a guarantee for him.

Mr. Zhang signed the contract with trembling hands.

Luo Ning delivered a truckload of vegetables to the First Floor Restaurant and drew a portrait of Liu Aijia, telling the owner that her second uncle would deliver the vegetables next time.

Actually, she should have brought her second uncle to meet Boss Zhang; that would have made the transition much smoother and more perfect.

But she really didn't have time right now, so she had no choice but to resort to this tactic.

Mr. Zhang glanced at the portrait, then at Luo Ning, and thought that this little devil seemed a bit unreliable. He suggested that he go to the vegetable garden to take a look when he had time, and Luo Ning readily agreed.

She left the First Building with a huge sum of money, like a crab, sideways.

"Hey, you little girl dressed like a bear, wait a minute!"
