Chapter 164: Selling Squid Strips

When Jiang Wan went to discuss with her aunt, the squid shreds on the table had already been put into the jar and she was cleaning the table.

When Song Wenhui heard that Manager Liu was here to invite her on board, she accepted without thinking.

Wanwan is still so young, how could she go on a boat alone with a group of strangers without the company of an adult?

Song Wenhui immediately went home, changed into more decent clothes, and went to the ferry with Jiang Wan and the shopkeeper Liu.

At this time, many villagers near the ferry were watching the excitement. After all, there had never been such a beautiful cruise ship in the village before.

Jiang Wan followed behind store manager Liu, and as soon as she entered the crowd she saw the brightly colored cruise ship docked at the shore.

I don't know what kind of wood the boat was made of, it was all red. The front part was open, with only pillars and short railings on both sides. The back part was similar to an ordinary house, with doors and windows, but I couldn't see what was inside.

Jiang Wan looked carefully and didn't see anyone who looked like a boss, so he should be in the room at the back.

"Miss Jiang, Miss Song, please get on board?"

Shopkeeper Liu asked the staff on the boat to lower the pedal, and Jiang Wan led her aunt onto the boat first.

Neither of them showed much interest in the cruise ship and their expressions were very natural.

Jiang Wan is so calm because he has taken too many ships in modern times.

Modern cruise ships are big and beautiful, with many features on board, which have long whetted her appetite.

Song Wenhui's situation is somewhat similar to hers.

When she was in Kyoto, there were lakes and rivers, and the ladies would often make plans to charter a pleasure boat to cruise on the lake. So she didn't think the boat in front of her was too strange.

Shopkeeper Liu sighed inwardly.

As expected of someone from Kyoto, his demeanor is unmatched by most people.

He led the two men into the boat, which then turned around and left the shore.

Jiang Wan looked at the small village getting farther and farther away, wondering when she would buy a boat for herself. Or she could just rent a boat and take her mother and uncle's family out to sea when she had free time.

Oh, and you can also go fishing on the small islands surrounding the fishing village.

I thought about it before, but forgot it because I was busy. I must remember it this time.

Jiang Wan was distracted, and when she came back to her senses, Manager Liu had already opened the door to the back room.

What a coincidence, I saw another familiar person.

He was a young man with a very handsome appearance. He was the first person who wanted to buy mint water when I was selling it.

What did Boss Qi call him?

Long chess?

Huo Changqi did not recognize Jiang Wan because Jiang Wan looked very different from when she first arrived in the village.

The first is complexion.

Now Jiang Wan's family has good food and drink every day, plus her mother's tonic pills, which are enough to make up for most of the previous losses in more than a month.

If Jiang Wan hadn't gone out to the beach almost every day and gotten a little tanned, her appearance would have been very close to her original state in Kyoto.

Jiang Wan is not so skinny now, and is full of energy. It is no wonder that Huo Changqi cannot remember her since they only met once.

As the middleman, Manager Liu immediately played his role.

"It's so boring staying in the house, let's move the table out and chat outside."

As soon as he opened his mouth with a smile, the three people inside walked out.

"Miss Jiang and Madam Song, let me introduce you. This is Master Huo, the young master of Fubai Liquor House in Cangsu City. This is Fang Mingshan, the owner of Yuzhai, and this is Zhang Huai, the owner of Zuiyipin."

After introducing everyone one by one, Manager Liu introduced Jiang Wan and Song Wenhui to the other three.

Jiang Wan was actually a little curious.

Among the friends of this storekeeper Liu there is actually a Mr. Huo. There is such a big age difference between them, they don't look like a good match at all.

But this does not affect the transaction.

She sat down with her aunt, and immediately a maid came over and served them tea.

Song Wenhui smelled the tea and was stunned.

This is the Yunhua tea that she and her husband usually like to drink. It has a subtle fragrance that is refreshing.

I thought I would never have the chance to drink it again in my lifetime...

She picked up the teacup and sniffed the tea. The familiar scent made her feel relaxed and happy.

"Madam Song likes this tea?"

Fang Mingshan was very good at observing people's expressions and immediately noticed Song Wenhui's reaction.

He brought this tea, and if he could get a word from it, he would be proud.

Song Wenhui nodded and smiled modestly, "This tea has a pleasant aroma and a long aftertaste. It's very good."

After hearing this, Fang Mingshan felt so relaxed both physically and mentally.

Every time he took out this tea to drink, several friends would only say that it was fragrant and delicious, without any other words. He always felt that no one knew the value of good tea, but today he finally met someone who knew the value of good tea.

He took the initiative to pour another cup of tea for Song Wenhui.

"This tea has finally found someone who knows its stuff. Listen, Old Liu, this is someone who knows how to appreciate tea."

Shopkeeper Liu laughed.

"We are rough people, so it's normal that we don't know how to drink tea."

After he took the initiative to turn the topic to oyster sauce, Huo Changqi finally perked up.

He didn't know any of the people on the boat, and if his second uncle hadn't been busy and couldn't come and insisted that he come, he wouldn't have wanted to come at all.

Today's goal is to get the oyster sauce supply contract and get as much as possible.

He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to what they said.

"The contract with Fengweilou expires today, so we do have some extra oyster sauce to supply to you. When Manager Liu came to our house, I told you the price. What do you think?"

Uncle Huo Changqi: "..."

Fang Mingshan is very dry and crisp.

"The price is fine, but we at Yuzhai want to order a little more. After all, most of our dishes are made from seafood, so we use this more often."

"Who says that only seafood can be cooked with oyster sauce? I asked the chef to try a variety of green vegetables and they can all be cooked with oyster sauce."

Zhang Huai also wanted to take more.

Huo Changqi thought about his uncle's instructions and said, "Our restaurant would like to order more as well."

Jiang Wan looked embarrassed.

"There are only 300 kilograms in total, and a family can only buy 100 kilograms at most. If you want to buy more, you can only go to Dongfuju to distribute it."

Everyone looked at the shopkeeper Liu, and he was so scared that he quickly waved his hands.

"We don't even have enough for a month, how can we distribute it evenly? Lao Zhang, you are a restaurant, so you can order less. Restaurants use more of this stuff."

"Nonsense! We have to cook a lot of dishes in our restaurant every day."

An argument immediately broke out at the table.

Jiang Wan pursed her lips to hold back her laughter and said that she brought her aunt here to learn from experience, but it turned out that several bosses were like this.

"Uncle, you guys take your time to discuss it, and try our shredded squid while you're at it."

As she spoke, she carried the jar she had brought to the table, took out a clean plate and placed it on the table, with a small mountain of squid shreds on it.

Jiang Wan was afraid that everyone might not be used to it, so she didn't take out the spicy ones for the time being. She only picked up the garlic and sweet ones.

As soon as it was put on the plate, waves of strange aroma filled everyone's nose.

The table suddenly became quiet.

"Squid strips? What a novel food."

Zhang Huai was the first one who couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and put a few into his mouth.

Everyone looked at him eagerly, waiting for his next response, but...

chew……

Still chewing...

Zhang Huai smiled awkwardly because he had something in his mouth. He had eaten fried squid many times, but he had never eaten anything so hard to chew.
