Qiao Qingqing turned around and asked Liao Song.
"Manager Liao, do you want this tuna alive or killed? If it's alive, there's only one ox cart in our village, so I'm afraid it can't deliver it. If it's dead, I can find a way to deliver it to you."
Liao Song said: "Well, I will find a way to get a big water tank, and then use the supply and marketing cooperative's truck to bring the live fish there."
Qiao Qingqing understood that there was no cold chain logistics at that time, and the only way to ensure that the tuna did not deteriorate was to transport the fish alive.
"Okay, then you can come tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, or the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Since she dared to use this as a bargaining chip, she must have something to rely on.
The last time she went fishing with the captain and his men, she accidentally caught a school of tuna, so she started to test the waters.
We learned from the captain and Grandpa Shi that the fishing village had caught tuna before, and more than once.
This made Qiao Qingqing feel at ease.
When she gets there, she will tell the captain the truth that she lied about having tuna so that the manager of the supply and marketing cooperative was willing to try to cooperate with them.
When the time comes, come up with your own solution.
They went out to sea at night to "try their luck". If they caught something, everyone was happy. If they failed, they would pretend that they had fenced off a piece of land by the sea to raise tuna, and it turned out that the guard was negligent and let the fish escape.
Once this method comes out, the captain will definitely think it is unreliable, and he will have no choice but to force it.
Fortunately, she actually had tuna...
Therefore, there will naturally be no subsequent troubles.
Everyone would just sigh that she was lucky.
No one would have thought that she had come up with this plan in order to hide the tuna.
After coming out, Qiao Qingqing naturally called Lu Heng to go to the restaurant.
I have been in the supply and marketing cooperative for nearly an hour. It is now past ten o'clock and the people in the restaurant should be free.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Qiao Qingqing did not use big fish as bait like the supply and marketing cooperative did.
Instead, she shamelessly chatted with the waiters in the restaurant - of course, she couldn't afford to offend the waiters now, so in order to avoid making them impatient and hitting her, Qiao Qingqing gave them a little bribe first.
After receiving a bribe, the waiter's attitude became much better.
In response to Qiao Qingqing's chat and small talk, she just managed to answer them one by one.
Qiao Qingqing used the personal intelligence obtained from the waiter to get close to the people in the kitchen.
He then used the same old tricks to buy people's hearts with bribes, so that the other party would continue to introduce higher-level people to him...
After paying bribes four or five times in a row, Qiao Qingqing finally met the chef in the kitchen.
That’s right, he’s just a chef, not a restaurant manager or anything like that.
The manager is not sure about this.
Qiao Qingqing also took the opportunity to get close to the master chef.
First, he started praising the chef's cooking skills. Although being a chef in a state-owned restaurant proves that he has both connections and ability, he must have been flattered a lot in the past.
But as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person.
The chef therefore became more patient with her.
Qiao Qingqing used this to gain the patience of her boss and told the chef: "Actually, I came here today to ask the chef how to cook tuna in the best way."
The chef's expression changed, and he was obviously interested in her question.
Instead of answering, he asked: "Why are you asking this? Do you have tuna?"
Big fish are not as easy to catch as small fish, especially this relatively rare species.
"Yes, but this one has been sold. But we have only caught a few fish there. They didn't know how to make it before, so it's a bit of a waste. I just passed by the door and saw that there were not many customers inside, so I came in to ask you for advice on a whim."
