The distance from the office to the meeting room is very short, so Xiao Song only had time to talk briefly with Mr. Zhang.

Therefore, when Mr. Zhang came over and saw what was on the conference table, he was still shocked.

"Yes, we have steamed the Hexing rice in the pot in advance. We haven't opened the lid on the way here, so the heat preservation inside is well done. Mr. Zhang will definitely be able to eat hot rice." Lu Youxi said with a smile.

Mr. Zhang blinked and listened to Lu Youxi say, "No matter how much we praise the Hexing rice, even if you see the quality of the raw rice with your own eyes, you will definitely have doubts if you haven't really tasted it. So this time we brought the Hexing rice here directly for you to taste."

"These two bags of rice are also for Mr. Zhang and your colleagues in your company to taste." Lu Youxi handed the rice to the other party.

"Oh, that's too polite." Mr. Zhang took it and said politely.

"It's just like promoting a new product and giving away samples. But our product is rice, which looks a bit plain." Lu Youxi said with a smile, "I also think that the rice in the rice cooker is pre-steamed. If you still have any questions, you can try the freshly steamed rice. We guarantee that the quality of each bag of our rice is the same."

"Just now on the way, I explained to Assistant Song that our production of Hexing rice is limited, and some is on the way. I don't have much on hand, otherwise I can't just send these two bags. Please don't mind."

"No, no, this is enough." Mr. Zhang paused and said, "Then... let's try the rice first?"

"Okay, okay." The village chief stood up and was about to turn on the rice cooker.

Mr. Zhang turned around and asked Xiao Song, "Why don't you go to the cafeteria and borrow some bowls and chopsticks?"

Their company doesn’t have any dishes or chopsticks.

Lu Youxi followed up by saying, "I brought disposable bowls and chopsticks."

Mr. Zhang and others: "..."

You've prepared everything.

Then everyone saw Lu Youxi take out a bag of disposable paper bowls that had not yet been unpacked from the backpack placed on the chair next to her.

He took out another pair of disposable chopsticks and distributed them to everyone.

The village chief then turned on the rice cooker.

As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, hot steam came out, accompanied by a strong aroma of rice.

Mr. Zhang thought that if Hexing rice was of such quality, it would be very good indeed.

The smell alone is very fragrant.

The village chief served each person a little rice, not much, just a small spoonful.

After all, no one comes here to eat, they just come to taste the food.

Besides, there are no side dishes. You can’t just let people eat a bowl of rice.

Mr. Zhang first took a sip of water and cleared his mouth. Seeing Mr. Zhang's actions, others followed suit.

Only then did I officially taste the Hexing rice.

"Quick, ask the product manager to come over and bring their person in charge of product selection." After taking a bite, Mr. Zhang immediately turned to Xiao Song and said.

Xiao Song nodded and immediately rushed out of the meeting room at an incredible speed.

Mr. Zhang explained, "Our company's product department has colleagues who are specifically responsible for product selection. Many new products want to enter the supermarket, and some products need to be tried out by colleagues who are responsible for product selection. Each person is responsible for different categories, some are responsible for food, daily necessities, beauty products, etc. The colleague who will come in a while is responsible for food."

"They have tried many rice brands, so it's a good opportunity for them to come and try them and make a comparison," said Mr. Zhang.

After a while, the product manager came over with two men and one woman.

"Mr. Zhang." The product manager called out as he entered the room.

"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Lu from Hexingmi, and this is Mr. Fang." Mr. Zhang stood up and said.

Lu Youxi and the village chief also stood up, and the product manager hurriedly greeted them.

Then he introduced: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Fang, I am the manager of the product department, my last name is Chen, and this is my business card."

"These three are colleagues in our department who are specifically responsible for the food category," Manager Chen introduced.

The two male colleagues are surnamed Jiang and Huang, and the female colleague is surnamed Li.

Manager Chen sat down with the three of them, and the village chief began to serve them food.

"Mr. Fang, let me do it." Manager Chen hurriedly and politely took the spoon from the village chief and served a small amount of rice to each of the four people on his side.

Mr. Zhang said, "Try it, especially Xiao Jiang and the other three. You have tried other brands of rice before. Mainly compare it with the most expensive brand of rice sold in our supermarket now to see how it tastes."

Manager Chen was slightly surprised when he heard this. It seemed that Mr. Zhang had a very high opinion of Hexingmi.

They were actually asked to compare their products with the most expensive brands sold in supermarkets.

"Okay." Manager Chen nodded.

So the four of them tasted it one after another.

Manager Chen looked up in surprise, then turned to look at Xiao Jiang and the other two, "How is it?"

Mr. Zhang also looked over. Xiao Jiang spoke first, "The most expensive brand sold in our supermarket now is Shilixiang rice, which comes from the black soil in the northeast and is harvested once a year. It has a long maturation cycle, and the grains are plump and shiny. It is very chewy and has a strong rice flavor. Although the proportion of customers who come specifically to buy Shilixiang is not high, they are very loyal purchasing users."

"And because the price is high, even though the number of customers buying it is not that large, the sales volume is still considerable," Xiao Jiang said.

"Mr. Zhang, He Xingmi and Shili Xiang are on par with each other!" Xiao Jiang said.

This time even Mr. Zhang was surprised.

As the general manager, it is impossible for Mr. Zhang to control all the details.

He just thought that Hexing rice was delicious, but he didn't expect that the quality of Hexing rice could be so high.

Xiao Li nodded and said, "Personally, I think the chewiness of Hexing rice is slightly inferior to that of Shilixiang, but it is very limited. If you don't eat them together and compare them specifically, it's hard to tell. We tried many kinds of them repeatedly before, so we can compare them. For ordinary consumers, unless they are really gourmets or professionals who are particularly sensitive to food, it is difficult to taste the difference obviously."

Xiao Huang continued, "But the aroma of Hexing rice is stronger than that of Shilixiang rice. The degree of its fragrance is quite obvious."

"Then let's settle it. Taking advantage of Hexingmi's recent fame, it would be best to put it on the shelves as soon as possible." Mr. Zhang said.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Fang, we need to calculate the purchase price and will reply to you tomorrow at the latest," said Mr. Zhang.

"Mr. Zhang, we have already determined the price." Lu Youxi took out a piece of paper, placed it on the table, and slid it in front of Mr. Zhang with his fingertips pressing the paper.

"This is the price we offer. Your company can discuss it to see if it is appropriate." Lu Youxi said with a smile.
