Chapter 86 The Two Heroes Unite
Just started.
Zhang Ya brought the news of "300 boxed meals + 300 rabbit heads".
Needless to say, it made Wang Sheng's heart burn.
After all, that's all money!
But this was followed by the heavy burden of production capacity.
This is the stage of rapid growth.
However, once the period of rapid growth is over, new pressures will arise.
China is currently at this stage.
Chen Mo had just become capable of making xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) on his own, while his mother, Wang Xiulan, and Chef Zhao were already spinning like tops in the small kitchen. The late-night snack stall also needed him as its anchor.
Three hundred rabbit heads? Three hundred steamed buns would be more like it.
"Pre-made?"
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Wang Sheng nipped it in the bud.
In his view, Shengji's reputation must be maintained by adhering to the six words: "freshly made, fresh, and wok hei" (the smoky aroma imparted by a hot wok).
Fresh is ranked first.
Pre-made?
The taste is terrible, and its reputation has collapsed!
Until a flash of inspiration struck.
Thinking of Brother Chen gave me confidence.
"Director Zhang, we'll take the order from Global Selection!"
Wang Sheng said, "But tomorrow is the first day, and we can only guarantee 150 rabbit heads. Starting the day after tomorrow, we can stabilize at 300. Is that okay? We can make 300 boxed lunches without any problem!" He had to create some buffer time.
"Okay! Boss Wang is so agreeable! I'll finalize it right away!"
Zhang Ya was overjoyed and immediately went to make a phone call.
As soon as the person left, Wang Sheng immediately took out his phone and dialed the number saved as "Brother Chen from Shuweiju".
The call connected, and the familiar sounds of spatulas and Sichuan-style vendors' shouts filled the background.
"Brother Chen! It's me, Wang Sheng! Help!" Wang Sheng got straight to the point, speaking rapidly.
"Hey? Boss Wang? Which one? Are you in a bind?" Chen Qiming's loud voice came through with a laugh.
"Our production capacity has exploded! A big company outside the school is ordering 300 spicy rabbit heads every day! Even with all our stoves and staff running at full capacity, we're still at a loss!" Wang Sheng made no attempt to hide his predicament.
"Three hundred?!" Chen Qiming gasped. "You little bastard! Your business is booming! So you've come to me wanting to—?"
"Cooperation! Original price!" Wang Sheng stated the key condition, speaking even faster. "I'll provide the processed raw rabbit heads, delivered to your shop at the best wholesale price on the market. You use your old brine and stove to braise them according to the method we learned. Once they're braised, I'll buy them back at the original price! You'll net your processing fee and the cost of the braising materials! I'll solve my immediate problem, and your stove, which is idle late at night, will be put to good use—a win-win situation!"
There was a five-second silence on the other end of the phone.
Chen Qiming's mind was racing: Wang Sheng was envious of the quality of his rabbit heads, so he could braise them himself, saving himself the most troublesome initial processing, and he could also make good money by using the empty stove for late-night snacks. It was a sure thing!
Wang Sheng is a skilled craftsman and a straightforward person!
"Hahaha! Great job! Boss Wang, you're quick-witted! This is a good deal!"
Chen Qiming laughed heartily, making the microphone vibrate loudly. "How much do you want every day? I'll have my guys keep the stove burning late into the night for you! I guarantee it'll taste exactly like the one from your shop!"
"Great, Brother Chen!" Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. "How about ordering 150 tomorrow? I'll have Brother Liu deliver an extra 150 processed raw rabbit heads to your shop every day! I'll settle the payment daily at the wholesale price, and I'll pick up the braised rabbit heads the next day when I deliver lunchboxes, settling the payment at the original price on the spot!"
"No problem! Leave it to me!" Chen Qiming patted his chest and assured him.
The production capacity crisis is easily resolved!
After hanging up the phone, Wang Sheng felt as if half of a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
I glanced at the ice jelly seeds soaking in the refrigerator in the corner.
If I can't make rabbit heads tomorrow, I'll send some ice jelly instead.
He offered a reluctant apology.
We can also try something more innovative...
Moreover, the innovative products can be tested on students as the first batch of taste testers.
As night fell, window number 07 was brightly lit.
The domineering spiciness of the spicy rabbit head remains the main attraction, but a refreshing and sweet new trend has quietly swept through the queue.
"A major upgrade tonight! Mint Lychee Bursting Bead Ice Jelly! The ultimate antidote to spiciness! Double the refreshing! A sweet attack!" Lin Xiaowen's shout was filled with eager excitement, and she specifically emphasized "bursting beads".
"Bubble tea jelly?!"
"Mint and lychee? Just hearing that makes me feel refreshed!"
"Quick! Give me a bowl! With extra spicy rabbit head! I'm going to push my limits today!"
The crowd instantly stirred.
When bowls of crystal-clear, trembling ice jelly are served, drizzled with light green sugar syrup that exudes a refreshing minty aroma, and then garnished with peeled, translucent lychee pulp and a spoonful of colorful, miniature fruit-flavored popping boba, the visual coolness is immediately maximized!
A boy, who had just been sweating profusely from the extra-spicy rabbit head, with his lips swollen like sausages and constantly hissing and gasping for air, almost snatched the ice jelly, scooped up a big spoonful, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Ice! A refreshing, icy chill!
The crisp coolness of mint, like a stream flowing from melting snow, instantly extinguishes the raging fire in your mouth. The natural sweetness of lychee follows closely behind, gently enveloping and soothing your burned taste buds.
With a gentle bite, "Pop! Pop! Pop!" the popping beads, filled with sweet and sour fruit juice, burst open one after another, releasing a burst of cool, slightly tart juice that brings an unexpected and delightful taste and flavor experience! Refreshing, sweet, fruity, and fun—a perfect blend!
"Wow, that feels amazing!!!"
The boy let out a watery, intensely pleasurable howl, his mask of pain replaced by pure satisfaction. "Amazing! This ice jelly is incredible! Ten times stronger than brown sugar jelly! The mint is refreshingly cool, the lychee is super sweet, and the popping boba is a delightful surprise with every bite! It's cleansed my very soul!"
He immediately took another big bite of the shiny red rabbit head, followed by a large mouthful of ice jelly, experiencing the ultimate sensation of "triple ice and fire" to the point of ecstasy.
This scene was being replicated everywhere in the cafeteria.
Spicy food lovers seemed to have found their ultimate armor, and they devoured the rabbit heads even more recklessly.
Even more people than those who previously liked brown sugar ice jelly came here. Girls who couldn't handle spicy food or simply loved desserts were also captivated by this visually appealing, refreshing, and sweet dessert, and some even came specifically for it.
Wang Sheng also provided a heated version.
It's equivalent to a new hot milk tea.
"Boss, three more servings of ice jelly to go! No rabbit heads, just ice jelly!" A girl held up a bowl, her eyes shining brightly.
"The lychee flesh is so sweet and juicy! The popping boba is so fun! The mint flavor is so addictive! I could eat this seven days a week!" Another girl sipped her drink, looking blissful.
The forum was instantly flooded with new ice jelly fans:

And at this time.
A notification sound suddenly rang in Wang Sheng's ears.
