The official website of Pingpong Grapes sells for 280 yuan per kilogram, but Zhao Jin's purchase price for Xu Milu is 250 yuan per kilogram. She knows that this price is indeed not low.
After all, transportation, packaging, refrigeration, and promotion all have costs, and Xu Milu couldn't possibly let Zhao Jin not make a single penny.
Anyone with a keen eye could easily find out that the source of the goods she possessed was inexplicable. Cooperating with Zhao Jin was the safest and most secure option. Firstly, Zhao Jin wouldn't delve into the origins of the fruit in order to make money. Secondly, until she was able to protect herself, Zhao Jin could be considered an excellent partner.
They're quiet, efficient, and quick to transfer money.
Now, apart from the 5,000 jin of Ping Pong grapes left for the rice and food shop, Xu Milu has absolutely no more stock.
With another large sum of money coming in, Xu Milu's wallet was bulging again, and she planned to buy a car in a couple of days.
The 5,000 jin of ping-pong grapes she has are enough to supply the rice and food stalls until after the Spring Festival. If all goes well, the ping-pong grapes grown on Earth will be ripe by then.
Zhao Jin still couldn't believe that the Ping Pong grape only took five months from planting to maturity. Xu Milu could understand, after all, such a fruit that was beyond common knowledge was really too peculiar.
Ping-pong grapes are manageable, but once wheat ear eggs are introduced, they will definitely be something that completely overturns people's understanding of the world, so Xu Milu plans to proceed slowly.
Since Zhao Jin had come all the way to Ningcheng, Xu Milu wanted to do something to show her appreciation, so she immediately took Zhao Jin to the rice and food shop.
"Uncle Zhao, today I'm going to let you taste my grandfather's cooking. I guarantee you'll never forget it for the rest of your life."
"I'm only ten years older than you, so don't call me Uncle Zhao anymore, just call me Brother Zhao. Wow, you really put a lot of effort into this renovation, it must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Zhao Jin, who has attended countless banquets and social events, could tell from the decor of Xu Milu's shop that a lot of thought had been put into it. He chuckled and joked:
"You've made quite a bit of money today, I'm going to have to take advantage of you."
Xu Milu was in a good mood and pretended to be stingy as she stopped the aquarium behind her:
"Oh dear, that won't do. We need to hide the valuable ingredients right away."
Zhao Jin, with his sharp eyes, spotted the abalone in the aquarium at a glance, his eyes widening in surprise.
"Wow! This is... abalone? I didn't expect your shop to have such a good thing hidden away!! It's so big, you can hardly find this even along the coast, right?"
Zhao Jin has eaten many good things, but this is the first time he has ever seen such a large and fresh abalone. He kept taking pictures of the glass tank with his phone.
The restaurant was packed, and when waitress Xiao Tao saw Xu Milu leading her group, she immediately ran over:
"Boss, the private room has been reserved. Would you like to catch the fish now or later?"
Zhao Jin traveled all the way to Ningcheng to inform her, and Xu Milu didn't hide it, planning to bring out the one-meter-long silver-winged flying fish from the shop to entertain guests.
Xu Milu had witnessed the ferocity of the silver-winged flying fish. Don't be fooled by its carefree swimming in the aquarium; if it gets startled, someone is guaranteed to get hurt.
"No need, I'll retrieve it. Where's my grandpa?"
Xu Milu asked while rolling up her sleeves.
"The old man is behind us," Xiao Tao said cautiously, biting her lip.
"Boss, a large group of people just arrived. The person who hosted them said he was a relative of yours. He immediately wanted to kill this fish and abalone, but the old man scolded them and drove them away."
Xu Milu paused, "Do you know the name of the person who treated us?"
Xiao Tao thought for a moment and said, "I think her name is Tian Meiwen. She's a woman with big wavy hair. She left after being scolded by the old man. She was quite unhappy when she left, and she smashed a cup and stuff. Boss, are those people really your relatives?"
"It's alright. Just collect your money and follow the rules. Send me the money for the broken tableware, and you don't need to worry about the rest."
Xu Milu narrowed her eyes and guessed the gist of it.
Tian Meiwen, Tian Meiling.
Judging from the name alone, she was probably a relative of her aunt's side. She didn't expect that before she could even settle accounts with Tian Meiling, the other party would actually show up.
...
...
Xu Milu didn't have time to worry about these things right now; she stood next to the three-meter-long aquarium and was about to start scooping up the fish.
When diners saw someone trying to retrieve the "signature dish," they gathered around to watch the spectacle and took photos with their phones.
"What kind of fish is this? It looks so beautiful!"
"Boss, is this a deep-sea fish?"
"Mom, this fish has wings!!"
"Young lady, why isn't this fish on the menu?"
"I'm sorry, this fish is for my friends and is not for sale."
Xu Milu put her hand into the water tank and stirred it. The silver-winged flying fish seemed unaware of the approaching danger and continued to swim slowly.
"Whoosh!"
As if startled by the crowd, the silver-winged flying fish swam uneasily, its fan-shaped wings opening and creating ripples in the water.
"Splash splash splash!"
"!"
Xu Milu suddenly reached down and grabbed the gills of the silver-winged flying fish with precision and force. Her three fingers gripped the fish's head firmly like eagle claws. With one hand on the aquarium wall, she slowly stood up and lifted the poor creature, whose gills were still twitching, out of the tank.
"good!!"
"Wow, that's impressive! This beautiful lady has practiced!"
The crowd cheered. Some people wanted to get closer to take a look, but they were startled by the sudden flight of the silver-winged flying fish, and everyone couldn't help but exclaim.
"Wow! This fish is fierce! Its fins are like knives; if it scratches you, it'll tear off a chunk of flesh, right?"
Zhao Jin took two photos with great interest and asked Xu Milu:
"Is this the fish we're going to eat later? It looks fierce, the flesh must be firm. How are we going to eat it?"
