Most people, after being exposed to that spiciness for a while, would naturally avoid that chili pepper altogether. But Cha Fengpeng is different; I actually fell in love with that soul-stirring spiciness...
"Does he know what kind of chili pepper it is? Where did you get that chili pepper from? Does he not have that chili pepper yet?"
“Tomorrow…” Cha Feng was about to say tomorrow, but then he remembered that tomorrow was the deadline for the design competition and he still needed to choose a suitable plan. He hesitated for a moment and set the date for the day before yesterday: “The day before yesterday, he will accompany you back to Hezibao to take a look. You will cover all the round-trip expenses!”
Before Wang Fulong could stop, he decisively shook off Xu An's hand, his gaze fixed on the paper package in Cha Feng's palm. The edges of the package were not neat, as if it had been carelessly torn from the bottom of a notebook, and there were still crooked pencil marks left underneath...
Meeting room of Xuguang Real Estate Company.
"Is this the place where they buy chili peppers?" Cha Fengpeng's eyes lit up, and he stared intently at Xu Shi, his face full of anticipation.
'Sunshine Garden Childcare Center... provides dinner service for the institution...'
'Nanyuan District, Shanghai... provides a 2-yuan lunch service for 314 elderly residents in the district... government subsidy of 6 yuan, individual payment of 2 yuan, meal standard of 8 yuan... deadline: September 20, 2012...'
In the past, I used to record things on a computer, but before I followed Cha Feng, I was consciously influenced by Xu Shi and disliked using a notebook to record important information even more than a computer.
"Actually, it's not so bad. The expected handover date is August. For schools like this, it's a minor issue if they can be completed after April."
"Do you know what kind of chili pepper that is? Your mother calls it 'Ghost-Slayer,' it's so spicy even ghosts are afraid of it..."
"Won't the construction period be too rushed?"
"Hmm." Cha Fengpeng scratched his head sheepishly: "You found a few outside the mountains, so you tried to grow them yourself. It took you two years to grow them successfully. The ones the boss is holding now are ones you grew yourself."
Because he had picked something, Wang Fulong casually put the basket in the corner of the kitchen before returning home and went to wash his burning hands. When he felt his hands were still stinging, he returned home to find that his mother had not yet finished cooking and was preparing to eat.
As if by accident, this is how it happened. When my mother was cooking, the chili peppers under the stove had just gone bad. Seeing that there were no chili peppers outside the basket, she took the basket, rinsed the chili peppers, and then put them all into the dish...
A barrage of questions left Wang Fulong somewhat dizzy, but listening to Xu's inquiries, he could clearly guess that it was an accusation, and that Cha Feng was interested in that super spicy chili pepper! That immediately put me at ease, and my mind cleared up a bit.
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
Office on the seventh floor of the No. 7 branch of Sichuan Pepper Slow Dining Restaurant.
"I know, just know, but the signboard of our braised food shop is made with that kind of chili."
That paper package contained super spicy chili peppers, how did it end up outside the store manager's hands!
Xu's gaze involuntarily fell upon Xu An and the other seven. Speaking of which, it was those two who caused the whole thing. If we were to boast to outsiders that we had found jobs, they would know that we were still hiring and would come from afar. They would also know that in some unknown corner of the world, there was actually a field of artificially cultivated hot pot, which could not solve their urgent problem!
"It's only April now, almost a year away, so it's definitely not possible. But then we'll have to increase staff, and what about the budget?"
"Okay, submit a written report for review."
The moment he finished speaking, Cha Feng's questions came one after another.
“It’s just like any other chili pepper. That chili pepper is a little wrinkled and a little spicier. What’s so special about it? Why are you shooting it?” Wang Fulong was very puzzled by Xu’s question.
As Wang Fulong narrated, a story quickly took shape and appeared in Xu's mind.
"Therefore, it is recommended to take the initiative and strive to complete the construction of supporting facilities after the first phase is handed over. At most, schools and medical facilities should be implemented, which are the two facilities that people care about most."
"Given your understanding of Qiansheng Group, as long as the construction schedule can be met, we would choose to launch sales on the same day."
Government subsidies? That's a government-run project?
I awkwardly opened my browser, accessed my bookmarks, and clicked on one of the websites. The webpage redirected to the Shanghai Municipal Bidding Website. I entered keywords, selected the time slot, and pressed the search button. The information on the bidding webpage, after being reordered, appeared before Li Yanfu's eyes.
"We can't communicate; the immediate problem is minor."
"Buy them." Madam Xu nodded. "They all told their family members that if they came back down the mountain and couldn't pick the chilies, they would buy them all for 68 yuan a pound. But they must be dried as thoroughly as the ones on the paper package. If you receive moldy ones, you'll lose every penny!"
After a moment's hesitation, the group quickly picked up their luggage and followed the two men, retreating into the Sichuan-style slow-dining restaurant almost one after the other.
“Bad…bad looks like…it’s yours!” Wang Fulong stammered as he answered Cha Feng’s question.
