Chapter 1193: 1167. Appreciated by Both the Elegant and the Common

By the pond, Boss Chang was so delighted that his eyes were a mere slit, grinning so wide that his gums were showing!

So many, so many!

The pond was filled with countless silvery-white splashes, all caused by the fish struggling and flipping!

It’s a real pity his seafood truck couldn’t make it, but it’s fine, the Song Family has three tricycles! Apart from that flashy rainbow one that looks good but isn’t practical, the other two will do!

Now we just need the villagers to help sort them briefly and weigh them...

"Selling these shrimp for 120, that’s not too much, right?"

Song Tan asked.

"No, no!" The semi-transparent river shrimp, tinged with a bluish-gray, were bouncing around in the water, lively and beautiful. Boss Chang even picked a large one, squatted by the pond, twisted off its head and shell, and tossed it into his mouth to try!

This way of eating is common in the village; when Song Tan was young, he used to catch shrimp by the pond and eat them just like this, savoring the freshness!

Clearly, Boss Chang was completely enthralled by now, imagining how popular they would be at the restaurant...

Oh heavens! He couldn’t even dare to think how well-received they’d be!

"It’s reasonably priced! Too reasonably priced! Even 120 is too low!"

Boss Chang immediately changed his tone: "The price should be raised, let’s—"

Before he could finish, Song Tan chuckled: "Since it’s reasonably priced, my intention is already expressed... Let’s set aside a third of the shrimp for me."

Whether it’s a gift or for personal consumption, this stuff is too popular!

Boss Chang’s face instantly fell, like a landslide had occurred.

But in the end, he could only reluctantly nod: "Fine! Then... I’ll take it for 180!"

As long as the money is right, the dishes will eventually arrive! Even though Chang Letian had spent his fortune building a new restaurant, these last few months’ business...

Hehehe!

So silly. Zhou Maozhu, who was helping to catch the fish, couldn’t help but glance at him—how could anyone actively suggest raising the price? Isn’t this boss a bit naive? Does he only do restaurant business? Why hadn’t they ever met anyone like this before?

Besides the shrimp, there were fish, and Boss Chang was a bit hesitant: "Do we also need to set aside a third of the fish?"

"Not necessarily," Song Tan reassured him, "the fish in the pond can’t be entirely caught, and if we want to eat them later, we’ll just catch more."

However, Song Sancheng was casting the net and felt a bit embarrassed looking at Boss Chang—accepting such a high price, how awkward!

"These fish are actually a bit small..."

Grass carp, well, they grow fast and look decent enough.

White fish are better, they’re best when smaller and tastier.

Only the crucian carp looked palm-sized, even smaller than a small palm.

But Boss Chang didn’t mind at all: "Small is good! Small means genuine wild crucian carp; customers love them!"

With aquaculture being so developed, there are plenty of fish kings and big fish available each year, it’s not that special anymore.

After all, most river fish actually become fattier the bigger they get, and often have a muddy taste, which isn’t nice.

Song Sancheng thought about it and agreed with the wild crucian carp sentiment; after all, aside from feeding them grass, they hadn’t managed anything else.

Meanwhile, Boss Chang had already sent a video to the chef group, and after everyone discussed it eagerly, he informed the public relations department:

"Send an invitation to our SVIP and VIP customers, saying we have authentic wild freshwater seafood awaiting their tasting..."

The aquatic truck had arrived, but in fact, Boss Chang didn’t plan to keep these fish for long—if they lose weight or die, wouldn’t that be a loss!

It’s better to serve them fresh, and handle the leftovers in a storables manner, that way everyone will remember them fondly!

...

Two ponds, and it continued until noon without finishing.

The drivers were arranged to eat at the mountainside cafeteria, while Boss Chang joyously entered the Song Family’s place, now with a belly full from a great meal, digesting in the yard, he couldn’t help but present the gifts he prepared.

"Look! This is a handmade teapot we specially commissioned from a master, with a signature on the bottom, it used to be the pride of our tea room, each one goes for six figures!"

The small, black, big-bellied teapot looked exquisite. Song Sancheng looked at it over and over, finally smacking his lips: "If you’re exhausted from work, a couple of gulps and it’s gone?"

"No worries!" Boss Chang’s face remained unchanged: "It’s just for you to admire at home, maintaining it or not doesn’t matter."

But Song Tan came over, taking out a plump frog tea pet for a look, then happily saying: "It’s nice, looks tasteful, just right for Lun Chuan!"

Initially unimpressed with the teapot, upon hearing this, Song Sancheng’s face dropped: "So young and drinking tea and tinkering with beads all day? I’ve never used this kind of thing!"

Song Tan wasn’t in a hurry, and asked him, "Dad, can you scrub this teapot with dishwashing liquid?"

Song Sancheng smirked with pride: "What do you know, how can you use dishwashing liquid on this? You have to use plant ash!"

"Pfft!" Boss Chang, who was sipping tea by the side, couldn’t hold back.

He wiped his mouth, looking at the suppliers in front of him, who were like the Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon, and didn’t know what to say.

Finally, feeling sorry for his teapot, he reluctantly replied: "You can’t really... Teapots shouldn’t be washed with anything else, the main thing is to season it..." frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

Now with that, Song Sancheng understood—an old farmer, not suited for such exquisite things!

Looking at the other swallow fins and abalones... forget it, these high-end things are hard to figure out, better let Seventh Uncle handle it later.

But there was another gift box that looked quite luxurious: "What’s this?"

Boss Chang smiled smugly and opened the box: "This is the New Year gift we’ve been preparing at our store! Exclusively for VIP customers!"

Song Sancheng took a closer look and fell silent.

Well, tea leaves, white fungus, hand cream.

At the bottom was an especially exquisite round box, hermetically sealed. At a glance, even Song Tan went silent.

——Soy sauce beans.

Just, a little refined yet popular gift, right? Quite an unusual little gift!

But isn’t this all from their home? What’s the meaning of sending it back?

Boss Chang chuckled: "Thanks to you, our restaurant now has a small name in the industry. This box has our restaurant’s logo, you can take ten sets for visiting relatives during the New Year, it might sound quite prestigious when you talk about it."

As for whom to gift these to, that was up to the Song Family to decide.

The Song Family: ...

Alright, alright, you may not be better at farming than us, but your business mind is truly sharp!

Just then, Secretary Xiaozu entered the yard and upon seeing this, couldn’t help but feel happy: "We have a lead on the electricity reform! I was just wondering how to connect it with the town and county... This is perfect!"

Her eyes were fervent: "Song Tan, can I borrow the gifts? The kind you don’t return!"

No questions there! Secretary Xiaozu was now definitely one of their own, and besides, their family needed the electricity reform the most!

Song Tan thus thanked Boss Chang, and then grandly waved his hand:

"Take them as you like!"
