146 Meeting Manager Liang
“Why?” A hunter’s family suddenly said that they were not going to hunt anymore?
“Nothing. It’s just that it isn’t that easy to hunt prey in midsummer. My mother is afraid that something will happen to us, so she won’t let us go into the deep mountains,” Lin Xiaoyue explained.
Chef Liu nodded, looking a little disappointed.
“That’s true, safety first,” he said.
“Then why did you come here?” He asked Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue quickly raised the bamboo basket in her hands higher.
“Mom didn’t allow us to enter the mountain, so I made this snack. It’s our first day selling in town, so I brought it here for you to try.”
Chef Liu looked at Lin Xiaoyue with a smile.
“Are you really giving it to me to try, or are you giving it to Ruyi Restaurant?” He smiled and asked Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“I can’t hide it from you. But I really want to give it to you to try. If you think it’s okay and I can get your recommendation, I will be very grateful. If you don’t like it, I will never make things difficult for you.”
“Alright, then let’s try it!” Chef Liu said straightforwardly.
Lin Xiaoyue’s face lit up with a smile. “Thank you!”
Then, she walked to the side and placed the basket on the table.
She cut a piece of cold cake and put it into a small bowl. Then, she poured some of the brown sugar syrup from the small bottle on it.
Chef Liu looked at the cold cake in Lin Xiaoyue’s hand, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.
“What kind of snack is this? Sweet?” He asked.
The brownish-red liquid did not look like soy sauce, but rather like brown sugar syrup.
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue responded and handed the small bowl to Chef Liu with a smile.
“It is called cold glutinous cake. It’s made by grinding polished rice and then boiling it. When paired with brown sugar syrup, it’s very tasty.”
Seeing that Chef Liu had already started eating, Lin Xiaoyue continued, “eating cold cakes in summer is the best way to relieve summer heat, and cold cakes can get rid of the taste of greasiness, so it’s an excellent dessert after a meal.”
“Mm,” Chef Liu replied.
He didn’t express his opinion until he finished the cold cake in the small bowl.
Lin Xiaoyue felt a little uneasy. She was about to ask for Chef Liu’s opinion when she heard him speak.
“Give me another bowl.”
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes brightened, and her heart instantly felt at ease.
“Sure!” She quickly cut another piece of cake for Chef Liu.
Chef Liu quickly finished the second bowl of cold cake.
“Not bad. We would love to have it on our menu!” Handing the bowl to Lin Xiaoyue, Chef Liu said.
Lin Xiaoyue’s face lit up.
“However, it needs the manager’s approval.”
“How about this, we will send some to the manager. If he agrees, you can discuss the price in person.”
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes were filled with surprise.
“Yes, thank you, Uncle Liu!” She quickly thanked Chef Liu.
“Haha, no need to thank me! It’s really good!”
As he spoke, Chef Liu led Lin Xiaoyue into Ruyi Restaurant from the kitchen.
He asked a few waiters along the way before bringing Lin Xiaoyue all the way to the third floor to see the manager.
The manager knew that Lin Xiaoyue was the teacher of his nephew, Liang Chengcai, and that she was here to offer a dessert to be added to the menu. He immediately asked Chef Liu to invite Lin Xiaoyue in.
Lin Xiaoyue entered the door and saw an amiable-looking middle-aged man.
“Greetings, Manager Liang,” Lin Xiaoyue quickly stepped forward and bowed.
