"I'll ask the kitchen to cook it right away." Zhao Jingyu said quickly.

If Zhao Jingyu hadn't been afraid of Mr. Zhao's suspicion, he would have taken the rice from the village chief long ago.

Fortunately, this time we were just letting everyone taste the rice, so the amount of rice we brought was not much and it was not heavy.

Zhao Jingyu took the rice from the village chief and quickly took it to the kitchen.

Everyone sat down, and President Zhao told Lu Youxi in detail about the current sales situation of Hexingmi.

"Because of Mr. Yang's affirmation of Hexing rice, as soon as the video came out, the number of customers coming to Zhenxin Supermarkets in various places to consult and buy Hexing rice increased sharply today." Mr. Zhao said, "We have urgently adjusted the activities of Hexing rice."

"Because it is still within the promotion period, our discounts have not changed. However, based on the reason, our supermarket cashier staff will give each customer who buys Hexing rice a questionnaire when they pay at the checkout counter. The questionnaire is very simple, with only six questions, all related to the taste and texture of Hexing rice."

"After filling out the questionnaire, you can exchange it for a sample bag of Hexing Rice Grade B rice during the specified date marked on the questionnaire," said Mr. Zhao.

“That’s why we are anxious to have Grade B rice put on the shelves as soon as possible after it passes our trial,” Mr. Zhao said.

“However, I know that even if we can do it as soon as possible, we are worried that it will be too late, so we deliberately postponed the redemption date in the questionnaire by three days.” Mr. Zhao explained, “We can’t postpone it too long, otherwise the guests will forget and even lose the enthusiasm to come back to redeem.”

"Three days is just enough time for customers to fill out the questionnaire," Manager Chen explained.

"You have three days. If Manager Chen thinks the B-grade rice is qualified, we can deliver Hexingmi's B-grade rice to the destination during this period." Lu Youxi said immediately.

Not long after, Zhao Jingyu knocked on the door and came in.

Behind me was a waiter serving freshly steamed rice.

It has been divided into small bowls, steaming with the aroma of rice.

It seemed that they were worried that the rice would be ready first and there would be no other dishes, so this time a waiter came over with a few dishes.

After setting the food on the table, Zhao Jingyu explained, "Our kitchen is in a hurry to serve these dishes first. The rest will be ready soon. Please wait a moment."

"It's okay, take your time." Lu Youxi said with a smile.

Zhao Jingyu smiled and nodded, then left with his men.

After Mr. Zhao and the others left, he said, "Although the service at Dongshenglai has always been very good, it seems to be exceptionally good this time. It seems that Mr. Shi and Mr. Lu have a really good relationship."

Lu Youxi had no idea about Zhou Shuyan and Shi Yusheng's past, so he just made some nonsense, "Friendship in school is the purest, without any interests involved. Mr. Shi and my husband were just good friends in college, and that's why it has lasted until now."

"Yes, if interests were involved, the relationship wouldn't be so good." Mr. Zhao nodded in agreement.

"Boss Zhao, Assistant Song, Manager Chen, Brother Jiang, Brother Huang, Sister Li." Lu Youxi called out one by one, "Try it, how about the B-grade rice?"

Mr. Zhao took a bite first.

Manager Chen and others also tasted the rice in their bowls.

Mr. Zhao didn't say anything at first, and said to everyone: "Don't look at me, tell me what you think."

Xiao Li just observed everyone's reactions after eating and already had an idea in his mind.

It should be similar to my own idea.

Xiao Li then said, "I think it's a bit unfair to call it B-grade rice. Although it's not as good as A-grade rice, it's still one level higher than B-grade rice."

Xiao Huang nodded and said, "Shilixiang also has B-grade rice, but Shilixiang did not give a clear name for B-grade rice. Instead, it named it Shilixiang Qingxiang Rice. The price is also lower than that of Strong Fragrant Rice, so people can tell from the price that Qingxiang Rice is not as good as Strong Fragrant Rice."

"But Shilixiang is very smart in that they explained that the reason they divided the rice into strong-fragrant rice and light-fragrant rice was because they considered that some customers might like the light-fragrant taste, so they introduced it."

Lu Youxi smiled and said, "Hexing Rice is not going to follow suit. We will just call them A-grade rice and B-grade rice. They are what they are, and we will never sugarcoat them."

"Our main focus is sincerity."

Mr. Zhao then said: "This quality of B-grade rice is indeed good. It would be a pity to get B-grade rice, but at the same time, among the same category of B-grade rice, at a similar price, Hexing rice will definitely sell better than other brands."

"What about A-grade?" Lu Youxi asked Mr. Zhao, "We still sell it at the price of B-grade rice, but because the grade is indeed higher than B-grade rice, it is definitely not appropriate for us to set it as B-grade rice. For the same price, customers should be more willing to choose A-grade, right?"

“Even if other B-grade rice manufacturers follow suit and change their B-grade rice to A-grade rice, but the quality cannot reach the A-grade of Hexing rice, customers will definitely still recognize Hexing rice as A-grade. After all, our rice is genuine and we don’t cheat anyone.”

"You have a good idea." Mr. Zhao nodded.

"But Mr. Zhao, our questionnaire has already clearly stated that the rice we give away is Grade B rice," Xiao Song reminded.

"That's not a problem." Mr. Zhao smiled and waved his hand. "When the customer returns with the questionnaire, we can ask our supermarket staff responsible for the exchange to tell them that we can upgrade them to A-. The customer will definitely be happier."

"Okay." Xiao Song agreed and wrote it down.

"If it's settled, I'll go and take care of the transportation of A-rice now." Lu Youxi said immediately.

"That's great," Mr. Zhao said quickly, "We'll try to get it into our supermarket tomorrow."

Lu Youxi nodded and took the phone to go out and make the call.

Unfortunately, because Lu Youxi contacted her too urgently, the company that had been cooperating with her in transporting rice was unable to temporarily allocate manpower and vehicles to complete such an urgent transportation task.

"All our drivers are out on the road right now." The other party said in embarrassment, "There is only one left, and he will leave tomorrow too."

“If we find it temporarily from outside, we won’t feel at ease, and we are also afraid that there will be problems with your goods.” said the other party.

"I need it urgently." Lu Youxi said, "Do you have any trustworthy friends in the same industry who can take over our transportation order?"

"I know I need this order urgently, so I can pay extra money to the master for his hard work." Lu Youxi said, "After all, the master has to work non-stop, and he must be tired."

"Let's not talk about whether to charge more or not. You are our old customer and we have such a pleasant cooperation. There is no need to mention the issue of charging more." Although the other party said this, his tone was obviously a lot lighter.
