Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1207

The chef was pleased by Lu Jueyu’s words and nodded at her before he turned to leave. However, when he was about a meter away, he caught a tempting fragrance in the air. He took a deep breath, recognizing the aroma of scallion pancakes.

Turning back, he noticed the couple eating scallion pancakes along with steamed buns. Feeling curious, he approached them again and said, "Excuse me, Comrade."

Seeing the chef return, Li Chenmo asked, "Comrade, is there anything else?"

The chef was salivating at the sight of the golden-brown scallion pancakes. Licking his lips, he asked, "Comrade, where did you get these scallion pancakes?"

"They are made by my son," Li Chenmo replied before adding, "Are we not allowed to bring our own food here?"

The state-owned restaurant did have a rule about outside food. However, as long as customers ordered from the restaurant, bringing their own food was generally overlooked. The chef quickly assured him, "It’s allowed."

Hearing this, Li Chenmo raised his eyebrows. His expression questioned why the chef had bothered them if it was permitted.

Noticing the unspoken question, the chef leaned closer and whispered, "Comrade, I was wondering if you would be willing to sell me the recipe for your scallion pancakes?"

Li Chenmo’s eyes turned cold the moment he heard his words. When he looked at the chef, he showed surprised and wary expressions as he asked, "Comrade, personal transactions are a crime. Are you sure you want to buy the recipe? Aren’t you worried I might report you?"

The chef broke out in a cold sweat at his words, but he gritted his teeth and explained, "Comrade, I’m serious. You see the situation in this restaurant—we hardly have any customers now. If I can’t meet the monthly quota, I will lose my job."

"Most people come here for the cheapest dishes. I want to add more affordable options to the menu, but they can’t just be random dishes. I have been thinking about this for months, but couldn’t find any solution."

"It wasn’t until now that I found the solution. Your scallion pancakes are golden-brown, appetizing, and fragrant. Even though they are no longer hot, they are still crispy."

"The raw materials of scallion pancakes are cheap, so the price is also very affordable. I’m confident that adding them to the menu will increase the restaurant’s revenue. That’s why I’m asking you."

After hearing his explanation, Li Chenmo looked at his wife and asked, "Wife, what do you think?"

The unique taste of their scallion pancakes wasn’t due to the recipe but rather the ingredients they used and her space’s lake water. Even if they gave the recipe, the chef wouldn’t be able to replicate the same flavor.

After a moment of consideration, Lu Jueyu replied, "Comrade, our family’s scallion pancake recipe isn’t very different from others. The real difference lies in the ingredients."
