"The restaurants and taverns here in the Northern Pass might be unfamiliar with spices, but my Liuxian Building was the first to use them."
Manager Liu began with this statement.
It both revealed his familiarity with spices and served as an indirect message to Ji Huan: Liuxian Building had been using them for a long time, so a partnership with Ji's Flavor Industry wasn't a necessity.
'He's clearly trying to play mind games.'
But how could Ji Huan be fooled by him?
"However, you've only ever used single spices, never a blend like this. Am I correct in my guess?"
As early as last year, when she had asked Xin Ziqi to procure seeds, she had learned that spices were relatively common as seasonings in the Southern regions, and that some restaurants in town had also begun to experiment with them.
Even in the South they were still only using single spices, so what could be expected of the businesses in Yeyang who were merely following the trend?
