Su Wenzhe sighed, “If only I knew those snails were this tasty back then.”
Su Wenwu said, “Even if you did, ordinary people can’t make them taste good.
You have no idea how much seasoning Sister used just now.”
He had helped in the kitchen and saw everything Su Binglan had prepared. Su Wenwu knew she had never used that much seasoning and ingredients in other dishes.
Su Wenzhe agreed, “Yeah, Sister’s the best in cooking. She can make anything into a gourmet dish.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Su Wenwu could not help but want to open another restaurant. He said, “Sister, these escargots are delicious. Can we open a restaurant to sell your escargot noodles?”
Su Fengmao looked at him and asked, “Didn’t you just open a restaurant? Can you handle another one so soon?”
Shen Qiuhua raised her head, saying, “Your father’s right, Wenwu. Your health is more important, and you’re busy with many restaurants now. Don’t overexert yourself, son.”
Su Wenzhe added, “l agree with Mother. Aren’t you planning to open more hotpot restaurants in various places? You can’t handle so many things at once, right? Even if you hired workers, you must be heavily involved in the early stages of a restaurant.”
Su Wenwu hurriedly replied, “Oh, no. 1 was only suggesting for Sister to open an escargot noodle restaurant. I think we should sell something this delicious. Then, people can visit the restaurant to try this special dish.”
Initially, Su Binglan never intended to open a restaurant. However, Su Wenwu happened to encourage her. After all, she should shared something this delicious with others.
Shen Mohen was puzzled. “Cousin Wenwu said this dish requires many ingredients and seasonings, so the cost of opening a restaurant should be high, right? Besides, escargots are rare, too.”
Since escargots differed from field snails, he did not know where to find the former. If he wanted to make the dish, it would be troublesome. After some thought, the family agreed with Shen Mohen.
Su Binglan sipped her soup and explained, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. We can make a massive batch of soup instead of cooking to order. In that case, we only need to cook the noodles and reheat the soup.”
She even planned to make instant vermicelli for the dish to make the serving process more straightforward. Su Binglan said, “We don’t have to open a restaurant. Instead, we can open a small store that specializes in producing small packets of ingredients.
“After we package them, the customers can buy the packets and cook the dish at home. The most essential thing is the seasoning. However, no one knows how this dish tastes.
“Since that’s the case, we should open a temporary stall to give samples. After promoting the dish and letting people taste it, more people will want to buy it. ”
The family realized Su Binglan wanted to use the same method as instant noodles. However, the seasoning packets would be more complicated. Still, that could also favor them because it would be harder to imitate.
Only the Su family would know the ingredients, just like at the hotpot restaurants. People had tried imitating it, but the seasonings and sauces could not compare to the Su family’s.
The customers could tell whether or not the ingredients were as good as the Su family’s. Moreover, the ones at the familys hotpot restaurants were relatively affordable.
Although Ye Feiran was silently eating, she had been listening to Su Binglan. The former felt she had learned a lot. Ye Feiran and Su Wenwu had only considered opening a restaurant to sell escargot noodles, but Su Binglan knew how to operate it.
Ye Feiran wondered if she could mass-produce the ingredients and ship them out.
‘What about prawns?’
Ye Feiran raised a brow, wondering if she could package and sell her prawns.
Since Su Binglan said prawns and seafood were excellent ingredients, Ye Feiran considered making dumplings, wontons, and many other dishes with seafood.
‘If people knew they could use prawns to make tasty dishes, would they be willing to buy them? Perhaps we can promote the prawns in my family’s restaurants first.
‘It could also become part of our signature dish because other restaurants don’t have prawns. If others wanted to imitate me, they’d have to buy prawns from my potential factory.
‘l might not even need a factory. Instead, 1 could simply have a workshop that packed prawns,’ Ye Feiran grew excited with these thoughts in mind.
She was even more grateful to Su Binglan now because the latter’s words were inspiring. Ye Feiran would do as she thought when she returned to the South.
Su Binglan was busy eating when she felt Ye Feiran’s gaze. The former looked up and saw Ye Feiran looking at her with sparkling eyes. Su Binglan stopped eating when she met Ye Feiran’s gaze.
Fortunately, Su Binglan knew Ye Feiran was a woman. Otherwise, she would have misread Ye Feiran’s gaze.
Ye Feiran looked at Su Binglan as if she were looking at treasure. Meanwhile, Su Wenwu remained oblivious as he only focused on eating. After some thought, he looked up and asked, “Sister, where would you open an escargot noodles shop?”
“We’re building a commercial area near the embroidery shop, right?” Su Binglan said, “After Xueye and his team complete the construction, I’ll use one of the shops to sell the escargot noodles. We can even open it beside your spicy hotpot restaurant.”
“Sure,” Su Wenwu readily agreed, prepared to help his sister. Still, he knew he would be even busier then. After all, he still wanted to continue building his chain of hotpot and spicy hotpot restaurants anywhere possible.
Su Binglan had also told him to open some restaurants in the South. By then, the Su family could sell seafood in their shops or restaurants. It was more beneficial for Su Wenwu to settle these things before doing anything else.
Su Binglan knew Su Wenwu would be busy, so she did not want to burden him with more responsibilities. Fortunately, Luo Jin’an had entrusted the Sacrificials to her.
Therefore, she did not need to rush to open the escargot noodle shop. Instead, she would train the Sacrificials first and then start a new business. After training the Sacrificials, she would have them spread her teachings.
After eating and drinking, the family discussed the tofu factory and embroidery shop.
“Everyone was enthusiastic to return to work today. I think they’re happy working for us.”
“The same goes for the noodle shop. My employees were already waiting at the door when 1 arrived. They gathered and discussed what they did during the holidays.”
“Yeah, they were wearing their new clothes to work, too.”
“Oh, the employees want to know if we’re still building shops and factories and when we’ll hire more workers. Many of the employees’ relatives want to work for us.’
After some thought, Su Binglan said, “We’re building those right now. You can work..
