Chapter 250 This Boss Xu is really a big boss!
"...So this is what Yanfu told you personally, that the boss in Haishi wants to buy those 'Ghostly Sorrow Chili Peppers,' the ones that burn for half a day after just one touch, and he only wants the dried ones, right?"
"Yes, yes."
"Is this 'Ghost-Fearing Sorrow' plant easy to grow? What is its survival rate?"
“It’s not easy to grow. My family’s Yanfu started trying this more than two years ago. At first, he planted half a row of land and only three plants survived. One of them died while it was growing, and the remaining two plants produced very small fruits… In February of this year, he planted two rows of land and half of them have survived, which is already quite good.”
"I understand now, thank you, Auntie!"
"Oh my, Yanfu said that the boss is coming to the village the day after tomorrow. If he really buys from us, that would be great. We'll have a lot more income, and life will be much easier from now on."
Yes, yes!
After agreeing with him a few times, Li Sixin left Li Yanfu's house and went to the house of the person who first spread the news to inquire. The reply he received was similar to what Li Yanfu's mother had said. After this trip, Li Sixin finally felt more at ease.
The owner in Haishi is real, the chili pepper purchase is real, and the price of 62 yuan per kilogram is real.
These chili peppers are a bit difficult to grow, with a low survival rate, and they need to be thoroughly dried before they can be sold for 62 yuan per kilogram.
[...The evaluation criteria and methods specified in the tender documents determined that Xu'an Slow Dining Restaurant won the catering contract for the First Shanghai Machinery and Equipment Expo...]
That project behind me, it probably has nothing to do with that simple-minded middle-aged man, or rather, that project wasn't initiated by me...
Regarding the bidding process, Wang Fulong was very experienced, which made Yanfu quite worried about me. After taking the documents and quickly glancing at them, just as I was about to return them to Wang Fulong, Yanfu's gaze fell on a rather ordinary project name: [SH City Nanyuan District].
It must be the project I launched. The initial plan was limited to one region, but they said it would definitely be rolled out across the entire city...
"The documentary series 'Visiting Slow Restaurants,' jointly produced by Haishi Local TV and Haishi Food Supervision Department, primarily documents the performance of seven slow restaurants during surprise inspections by the food supervision department..."
A few years later, a boss from a certain place came and said that his company was in the business of medicinal herbs and needed a small amount of scorpions for medicinal use. He wanted to cooperate with a local area that specialized in breeding scorpions, and his company would buy them all before they grew up.
Even if it seems and sounds reasonable, we still need to be cautious.
During the conversation, the simple-minded middle-aged man mentioned the meal problem for elderly people living alone in Shanghai...
Upon arrival, we discovered that the group wasn't specifically targeting rural areas eager to get rich. They swindled us out of money to buy scorpion seedlings and feed, then disappeared when it was time to harvest, leaving behind a mess and our unfulfilled dreams.
Upon seeing the words "government subsidy," Yanfu immediately recalled the simple-minded middle-aged man whom his seventh grandfather had introduced to him and Uncle Dongliang. That evening, the simple-minded middle-aged man asked him many questions related to the boxed meals, the fewest of which were the price of the meals and the delivery method.

"I never imagined that such a large slow-food restaurant would grow so slowly. Come to think of it, this must be the eighth or seventh time I've ordered from you. Each time, the amount I spend has almost doubled. You're really on a roll!"
The documentary was quite long, so Wei Kezhi skipped ahead to the part about the "Wei Ke Slow Food Restaurant" and finished watching. Although the video was choppy like a PowerPoint presentation, Wei Kezhi still watched it carefully and took notes on the key information.
The problem is minor; it's just that Yanfu's wish to handle something important today has fallen through.
"Yes!" Han Yuanping continued to give a perfunctory reply.
The account has fewer than 170,000 followers, and the interaction data for each post is quite low.
"What's wrong with it? You still get to eat the same things." Han Yuanping stared intently at the computer screen, speaking slowly, "Your company doesn't have its own cafeteria; all the food is supplied by the cafeteria. Except when you're delivering goods, if you want to eat there on weekdays, you have to drive for half an hour to get there. It's such a waste of time..."
Li Sixin really is a small business owner!
Government subsidies?
“Yes.” Han Yuanping nodded as he opened the system, entered the number of machines Yanfu had purchased, and prepared to place the order with the factory for production design.
I initially thought everyone would submit their proposals readily, but when I checked the front desk, out of the 71 groups who registered, only 8 groups had submitted their proposals... It seems the remaining 14 groups are all chronic procrastinators, only submitting their designs at the last minute...
"Oh, right." Han Yuanping seemed to have thought of something. He took his hands off the computer keyboard, took out his phone, and slowly pressed a few buttons. Finally, he put the phone behind the woman's face: "Xu An Braised Food Shop, it's owned by the same person as Xu An Slow Food Shop. The taste is pretty good. If he really wants to eat at Wei Ke Slow Food Shop, he can buy some braised food to satisfy his craving."
Aunt Li said that Wei Kezhi would be coming with Madam Xu the day before yesterday for an on-site inspection. I need to devise a little plan, taking Li Sixin around a bit, just in case they see something else. That would be a small source of income for the people of Hezibao!

Unexpectedly, when I entered the name "Xu An Slow Dining Restaurant" and pressed the search button, I was taken to a new webpage. The first page that appeared was not the official page of the local TV station in Shanghai.
