209 Chapter 209 New Dishes

After the two of them finished eating the iced dessert, the heat in their bodies subsided. Zhou Ying took him to the back, then took out pieces of saltpeter to experiment on the spot, “It’s best not to eat ice made of saltpeter; you’ll have to use this ice to freeze clean water again.”

“I understand. This is good stuff. Thank you so much.” Manager Liu nodded excitedly.

After that, he looked at the can of saltpeter in her hand with a burning gaze.

Zhou Ying smiled and handed it to him. “This saltpeter can be used repeatedly until it can’t make any more ice.”

“Thank you. Thank you so much. I’ll go back to work then.” After saying that, Manager Liu carried the small jar and walked out.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying took out another jar from the warehouse and put it in the kitchen.

At this moment, Zhao Cheng had just returned from strolling outside. “Mistress, we can’t go on like this. There are no customers at all at noon, so I think we should add some new dishes.”

“Can’t you guys rest more? You’ll be busy grilling skewers once dinner time comes.

“Besides, it’s so hot in the afternoon that not many people will come out to eat.”

“But I’m too free in the afternoon.” Zhao Cheng said, shaking his head.

“I’ll think of something.” Zhou Ying nodded thoughtfully.

She left for a stroll on the main street. To be honest, there were few people, and they were passing by in a hurry.

With this flow of people, nothing would attract them, even if they had new dishes.

She thought of ice products, and it seemed like she could prepare some. Even if she couldn’t sell them, they wouldn’t lose much, but they would profit otherwise.

There were also chilled dishes such as cold noodles, chilled cake, and jelly. Customers might come in for a snack, and there was no need for stir-fried dishes.

Thus, she called over her staff, and everyone got busy together.

Of course, Zhou Ying only fried the chili oil, and others made the rest.

When they were done, they each had a bowl. After they finished eating, Zhou Ying asked, “How does it taste? Can it sell?”

“Yes, the sour and spicy taste is appetizing and filling.” Chun Niang nodded.

“Indeed, if we sell this at the pier, it will sell out quickly.” Tian Jiawang agreed.

“Then let’s launch the cold noodles and chilled jelly first. We’ll promote it in the evening and see the response.

“As for the pier, let’s not get involved. We just need to sell in our own territory.”

After she saw that it was almost time for dinner, she brought out a bowl of cold noodles. “You guys eat while I’ll send some over to the clinic.”

Afterwards, she prepared some takeout and took them to the clinic.

When she arrived at the clinic, she found Doctor Luo and Gu Chengrui reading a book each. There were a few apprentices grinding medicine, and the business was quite bleak.

“Everyone, it’s time to eat. Let’s have dinner.”

“Oh, you are here. What delicious food did you bring us?” Doctor Luo immediately put down his book and walked over when he saw her.

“Cold noodles? Babe, you really know me too well. I was just thinking about this.” Gu Chengrui’s eyes lit up when he saw the contents of the takeouts.

A few of the apprentices immediately looked over when they heard this. Gu Chengxi ran over and asked, “Sister-in-law, is this a new way to eat noodles?”

“Kinda. Hurry up, wash your hands, and take the chopsticks and bowls while at it. It won’t be good if it gets warm.” Zhou Ying put the takeout on the table and said.

“Don’t mind if we do.” Doctor Luo said, and he was the first to run to the back.

The others immediately followed.
