Cheng Su spoke with Old Master Cheng for a good half an hour before hanging up the phone, then looked at Qi Taiguo with sympathy.
Qi Taiguo felt uneasy under her gaze and asked, "Could you not look at like that? It’s too creepy! What’s up?"
"You’re in for so real trouble this ti. The Cheng family also wants to send their third generation to your military camp for training. So, two big family youngsters are coming, and they’ll surely give you a headache!" Cheng Su clicked her tongue.
Qi Taiguo was taken aback, "Are you saying..."
Cheng Su nodded and passed on what Old Master Cheng ant, which was essentially the sa as the Ning family’s intention — to have the kids trained more and gain practical experience.
Qi Taiguo slapped his forehead, feeling like a disaster was looming ahead!
But Cheng Su was in high spirits. Both families saw potential in Qi Taiguo, so how could she not be happy?
As for the two boys coming over, she didn’t mind at all. It was good for them to be humbled a bit, or else they wouldn’t know there are always stronger people out there.
The boys from those families will report with the team in mid to late July, and it’s only the beginning of the month now, so there’s no need to worry yet.
Qi Taiguo returned to the troops, leaving the Jam Company matters behind for a while, and Cheng Su went to manage things at the Joy Soon Loy Restaurant.
It’s already July, and in a couple of days, it’ll be the day when the Cowherd boy ets the Weaver Girl on July 7th. A little over a month later, it’ll be the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
So, even though it’s just July, many pastry shops in Qing City have started selling mooncakes.
Last year, Joy Soon Loy Restaurant also wanted to sell mooncakes, but Cheng Su felt there was not enough space to fully implent it, so they postponed it to this year. Now that the restaurant has a pastry section, they can naturally produce and sell mooncakes.
Since the reopening after the renovation, Joy Soon Loy has been getting better with business and reputation, and now many custors are asking if they sell mooncakes.
Who wouldn’t want to do business when it’s knocking on the door?
So, Cheng Su went to the restaurant and gathered the pastry section supervisor and Old Song to talk.
"This year, our restaurant is definitely launching mooncakes. Chef Chen, do you have any issues, any thoughts?" Cheng Su asked Chen Guorong, the pastry section supervisor.
"The pastry section is fully equipped; making mooncakes isn’t a problem. But since it’s the first year, if we want to establish our Joy Soon Loy mooncake brand and aim for future business, I think the materials need to be excellent, and the process refined. If President Cheng is sure about doing it, we need to first test so samples, taste and improve them until they’re perfect, and then we can produce in bulk," Chen Guorong said.
"That’s only natural," Cheng Su said. "Our Joy Soon Loy Restaurant has a good reputation now, and since custors are asking, business will co. However, it’s already early July, and it’s said that presents aren’t given in July, so once August arrives, a lot of people will start giving presents. In these days, you should study more and get it out quickly!"
"Yes!"
"As for the varieties of mooncakes, since it’s our first year, and people these days like red bean paste, we won’t make too many variations. For this first year, let’s launch five nuts, red bean paste with salted egg yolk, pure red bean paste, and lotus seed paste with salted egg yolk," Cheng Su added.
Chen Guorong was puzzled, "The five nuts are..." He knew red bean paste filling and lotus seed paste; they were sweet, but what about these five nuts?
Seeing his confusion, Cheng Su paused as well.
She had forgotten that five nuts were more popular in the South, specifically in Guangcheng, and not much up North here!
