Then the woman sighed and said, "It's delicious, but the price is really expensive. If I ate like this every day, I'd probably spend most of my salary on food."
"That's right. But the staff said their vegetables are all-natural, pollution-free, and green, without a single drop of medicine. You see, those so-called organic vegetables are quite expensive, but they don't taste that great. This place's vegetables are much better in terms of taste, so it's worth the price."
Tang Xiaoxiao listened quietly to the discussions and got a sense of what was going on. She went out and called Xu Mingliang to tell him that she had arrived at Shenglong. Xu Mingliang happened to be in his office and came down from the top floor to pick her up.
According to Xu Mingliang, the initial response to their boutique section was lukewarm for the first two days after it was launched, as the prices were too high and many people felt it wasn't worth it. Only a few wealthy individuals bought some to try. However, starting from the afternoon of the third day, customer traffic suddenly increased. Almost everyone who had bought before came back to repurchase, and they also introduced many friends and relatives to the store. Word spread quickly, and since the area was already a densely populated area, demand soon exceeded supply. Many customers came either because they were recommended by others or out of curiosity due to the crowds. In short, business improved day by day, and the daily sales of the boutique section alone, which was less than 60 square meters, were almost equivalent to the sales of an entire floor.
Unsurprisingly, all customers who purchased the product gave it rave reviews.
Tang Xiaoxiao was completely relieved. Xu Mingliang was in high spirits, and his grin never stopped after seeing Tang Xiaoxiao, it was almost unbearable to look at.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Tang Xiaoxiao was just about to get up and say goodbye when a middle-aged man knocked on the office door, hurried in, and whispered something in Xu Mingliang's ear.
Xu Mingliang's expression changed. Before he could greet Tang Xiaoxiao, he got up and followed the middle-aged man out the door. Tang Xiaoxiao followed him as well.
The three of them went down to the first floor and saw several people in uniforms gesturing at something. Xu Mingliang quickly went up to them and greeted the leader, saying, "Brother Zhao, what brings you here?"
The man called Brother Zhao was around thirty years old, noticeably younger than Xu Mingliang, yet Xu Mingliang called him "Brother" so naturally. Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh, people in the business world really are uninhibited.
She recognized that these people were wearing uniforms from the Food and Drug Administration, and her heart sank immediately.
Brother Zhao glanced at Xu Mingliang, but didn't put on airs. Judging from their expressions, the two were obviously familiar with each other. Because there were too many people around, he didn't say much. He simply explained the purpose of their visit to Xu Mingliang in a businesslike manner. It turned out that someone had reported that the premium fruits and vegetables sold by his family were cultivated using unethical methods and that a large amount of harmful substances and hormones had been added. They were here today to take samples for inspection in accordance with regulations.
Xu Mingliang immediately knew that his business was doing too well and had offended some people. He glanced at Tang Xiaoxiao and saw that she was calm and composed, so he felt reassured. He smiled and said that he would definitely cooperate, emphasizing that the dishes he served were absolutely of the highest quality and contained no additives.
"Whether there's a problem or not isn't up to you to decide. Let's wait for our investigation results," one of the younger staff members said rudely. Brother Zhao glanced at the man unhappily but didn't say anything. Tang Xiaoxiao watched coldly, understanding in her heart that this young man clearly belonged to another faction.
However, she is not afraid of being investigated. She doesn't know if the soil and water in the space can be found using real-world methods, but no matter how much can be found, it will definitely not be related to harmful substances or hormones.
Sure enough, a week later Tang Xiaoxiao received a call from Xu Mingliang. The test results were in. Not only did Tang Xiaoxiao's fruits and vegetables contain no substances harmful to the human body, but their nutritional value was also several times that of similar varieties. An expert in charge of the testing even concluded that long-term consumption of such foods would significantly improve various bodily functions.
The expert was also very curious about how these fruits and vegetables were cultivated, and even brought two assistants to Xu Mingliang's supermarket to investigate. The local media, with their keen sense of smell, took the opportunity to conduct an exclusive interview on the matter, which was featured on the local news program.
After being exposed by the media, Xu Mingliang's supermarket, or more precisely, Tang Xiaoxiao's premium fruits and vegetables, became a huge hit in Y City!
After hanging up the phone, Tang Xiaoxiao thought with a hint of malice, wondering how the person who reported her was feeling at that moment.
