Chapter 258 The Prey, Wavered
Li Yanfu and his mother were also surrounded by the villagers. Because they had the most contact with Xu An, everyone naturally felt that they knew more than the others, and the villagers rushed to ask them one question after another.
"Yanfu, tell us in detail what kind of business this Mr. Xu is doing in Haishi?"
"Aunt Li, I heard from the Party Secretary that you've planted quite a lot of this 'Ghost-Fearing Sorrow' plant. Is it easy to grow? Only a few of the ones we dug up from the mountain survived!"
"Aunt Li, are you going to cooperate with the Shanghai boss? If you are, then I'll cooperate too!"
"......"
Li Yanfu and his mother actually had very limited knowledge of Xu An. Li Yanfu, for example, was brought back to Hezibao by Xu An in less than two days after arriving in Haishi. His knowledge of the two shops under Xu An's name came from Zhang Dezhen and a few others.
However, since the villagers had asked, Li Yanfu could only answer the questions he knew the answers to.
For example, Xu An was in the catering business, with braised food being a major part of it, which was mainly managed by Uncle Zhang Dezhen;
For example, the best-selling flavor in the braised food business is "Hell Braised Food," and an important ingredient in Hell Braised Food is "Ghost's Bane."
For example, the braised food business is not limited to store sales, but also includes online stores, etc., and even producing several thousand kilograms a day cannot meet the demand.
"Oh, that matter? It is troublesome, but how much does it cost?"
"A little rooster?" Ding Yifan looked at Jiang Cheng in confusion.
Although Zhang Dezhen's gaze was fixed on the bouquet of flowers in the center of the coffee table, I kept an eye on Li Sixin's expression.
When introducing the company, Li Sixin maintained his calm and collected demeanor; but when he went on to explain the job responsibilities, Zhang Dezhen caught a fleeting glint of interest in his eyes...
If the chicken and fish were sent by Lu Shengnan's villagers, Ding Yifan, who was standing in the courtyard and could see the whole scene, would probably not have noticed them at all; but if they were definitely sent by Jiang Chengmao's villagers, then who sent the chicken and fish?
The moment Ding Yifan said those words, the smile on Jiang Cheng's face froze instantly.
"How could I tell that to the young man? Anyway, cooperating with Li Yanfu was definitely a mistake. Jiang Chengmao is an honest man."
"Thank you, Mr. Ding. You're free later, so let's get straight to the point. Why did you call me here? Are you satisfied with your current job and have no plans to change jobs?"
Jiang Chengmao's mother put down the bowl and chopsticks and started counting on her fingers, but as she counted, she surpassed the number of people...
......
The mother and son from Hezibao were already starving. Seeing the crowd disperse, they quickly picked up a wooden stool and hurriedly left the underground hall. They returned home and hastily cooked some noodles for lunch.
"Oh ho, he hasn't even received his commission yet? Is that true or not? I've heard him mention it before." He Zibao's mother was surprised and somewhat incredulous, looking at He Zibao with suspicion.
Right? You've only rested for half an hour, and you're here again?
"Yes, it's hanging under the kitchen doorknob, all the hair has been removed. Oh, right, there are also big potatoes, no bigger than a ping-pong ball. Put one in a braised dish, and the potatoes will be so soft and fluffy!" Just thinking about the taste made Xu An feel his stomach churning.
"Mother, he has to listen to you, he absolutely has to do it!" He Zibao said, lowering his voice and whispering in his mother's ear, "Does he know how much money Uncle Zhang and my wife and I make?"
Corner coffee shop.
A slender figure appeared in the coffee shop, tilting her head slightly to look at the shop's name.
"Sister Lu, why don't you introduce him to that food company? The headquarters has 1,887 employees, and it has dormitories, canteens, and recreational facilities. It has eight small production bases and food processing plants in Haiyang Province... The province is currently deploying new production bases, and its business is expanding very rapidly... It needs someone like Sister Lu, who is both brave and resourceful, to lead the charge and conquer new territories. You may doubt whether you, Sister Lu, can do that."
Seeing the constantly changing expression on Ding Yifan's face, Xu An finally understood.
"I look like the boss of the braised food stall outside the shop, right?"
"My goodness! They make thousands of kilograms of braised food every day! Our village can't even make this much during the Spring Festival!"
"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect it to be so late, and I didn't know they'd have to cook for themselves, or even prepare any dishes..."
That's braised chicken with potatoes!
"It's you, Jiang Chengmao!"
With his left hand on the bronze doorknob, he slammed open the small door of the coffee shop. Accompanied by a mechanical male voice saying "Welcome," the figure retreated into the coffee shop.
"One hundred yuan per pound. Auntie, please keep an eye on things. We only need this year's new stock, but we also need the old stock. We can have a smaller variety, but we need to bring out the more valuable ones to make up the numbers..." Ding Yifan kept nagging and instructing.
......
Li Sixin sat on the soft sofa, picked up a spoon and scooped up a large spoonful of ice cream, putting it into his mouth. His face showed a mixture of emotions, as if he really didn't care about that matter at all.
"Later, the supermarket ran into problems, and Sister Lu single-handedly turned the tide, saving the company from collapse. It was truly remarkable! Coincidentally, the marketing general manager of that food company resigned for personal reasons, and many people thought of you, Sister Lu," Zhang Dezhen explained with a smile.
"But you went to the vegetable garden early this morning and picked some seven-season beans, and you also bought fish, chicken and other things!"
