Chapter 458: Chapter 373: Customers Can’t Afford It (Please Subscribe!)_1
Tang Qing didn’t stay at Liu Qian’s place for long before he excused himself.
After coming out.
Tang Qing drove directly to Li Jianguo’s place.
Looking at the various types of shrimps, crabs, and also abalone, sea cucumber, beltfish, squid etc. in large and small bags in Tang Qing’s car, Li Jianguo also knew why Tang Qing wanted to eat what he brought. Honestly, among the same kind of seafood, these seafood that Tang Qing brought had a kind of indescribable ’aura’. Yes, that’s right, an aura that makes one want to eat them just by looking at them.
Moreover, these seafood look very appealing, extremely lively and very large in size. He flipped them over, none of the abalones were less than double size. At a glance, it is clear that they are not cheap.
"Little Tang, if you don’t sell these seafood, where do you buy them? I also want to stock them in my place." Li Jianguo said, as a seafood restaurant, seafood is the key point, even if they are a bit pricey due to their appearance, it’s still worth it.
However, Tang Qing’s next remark made Li Jianguo choke.
"Uncle Li, these things are very expensive, customers might not be able to afford them." Tang Qing smiled.
Tang Qing has never planned to sell these things because in terms of efficacy, average people really can’t afford them. He has no interest in finding trouble and it’s enough to just sell vegetables and fruits.
Especially after tasting the vegetables and fruits he brought out a few days ago, his family was also conquered by the taste. He also subsequently started a fruit and vegetable shop. Still two days from opening, they’ve been eating from their home inventory for the past few days.
The fish in these things were exploded with a large amount of bombs. Silly crabs like to bask in the ’sun’ and can be picked up at the shore at will. It was only after Tang Qing went into the water that he found that the abalone and sea cucumber down there were all of a larger size with slow movements. Needless to say, he picked the larger ones.
Hearing Tang Qing’s answer, Li Jianguo was incredulous.
Li Jianguo admitted that these seafood looked very appealing, but it wasn’t to the point where customers couldn’t afford it, right? There are many tycoons in Qingyan City who come here to eat something expensive. Will they not afford it? He then asked about the price.
Tang Qing smiled and said, "Uncle Li, you don’t know, these seafood are cultivated in specific sea area, they have health preservation effects and belong to special supply goods. They are not sold on the market. Honestly, with these bags of seafood, any random one, regardless of size, my friend might not even sell it for 100,000 yuan," Exaggerating costs nothing, and it’s not a lie. Even for 100,000 yuan each, Tang Qing might not sell them.
"What? 100,000 each?" Li Jianguo exclaimed.
100,000, isn’t that robbery? Your friend must be running a racket.
And you can’t really believe it, can you?
But Tang Qing is not a fool, nor a braggart. Tang Qing, who has assets close to 1 billion yuan, really doesn’t need to exaggerate this. Li Jianguo opened his mouth wide and didn’t know what to say. Under Tang Qing’s confident gaze, Li Jianguo gradually believed most of it.
Looking at the large and small bags in front of him, gosh, if one is worth 100,000 yuan, then this seafood in front of him is worth at least several million yuan, isn’t it?
Basically, they can eat up their entire restaurant in one gulp.
What’s wrong with this frenzy?
Is this the world of the rich? It’s absolutely ruthless! Li Jianguo couldn’t help but swallow, promptly pointing to a few waiters at the door and shouted, "You guys, quickly move these things into the kitchen, we’re going to entertain VIPs later, be careful, don’t hurt them." Li Jianguo instructed, these seafood are like bags of money.
Watching his men bring them into the kitchen, he was still not at ease.
"Little Tang, you go pick up the guests first, I need to keep an eye on them, so as not to waste any."
After finishing the words, Li Jianguo followed into the kitchen.
"Mr. Zheng, this time will bother you, these are all high-priced purchases from abroad, very valuable." Li Jianguo said to the main chef of the restaurant.
"It shows, don’t worry boss Li." The main chef patted his chest and confidently guaranteed.
"That’s good."
However, Li Jianguo still didn’t feel at ease, he kept watching them in the kitchen the whole time. Damn, there’s millions of things in here, a loss of a piece of meat might be a loss of several thousand, and it can’t be cheaper for people. Li Jianguo knows the character of the chefs in the kitchen of a restaurant all too well - is it a problem for them to eat a few bites before the customers? No, it’s not a problem.
At night.
In a luxurious large private room on the third floor of the Seafood Restaurant. The Seafood Restaurant is aimed at high-end consumers, so there’s no discount on the decor. The interior is designed with high-standard materials. The large chandeliers and gold dragon wall patterns make it luxurious and atmospheric.
At this moment.
All of Tang Qing’s family is sitting here, with Li Kai and Li Jianguo in their seats.
Watching the chefs for two hours to reduce waste as much as possible without giving other people a bargain, Li Jianguo really felt the extraordinary aspects of these things in these two hours. Although he didn’t taste them, the aroma that came out during steaming made all the chefs sitting in the kitchen swallow their saliva countless times. This feeling, even the main chef hasn’t experienced before.
At that moment, the main chef asked, "Boss Li, where is this seafood from? I think we can import this kind of stuff in the future, it will definitely make the business skyrocket." Working as a main chef for so many years, he really hasn’t encountered this kind of situation; as if his appetite has been crazily opened up.
Show off cosily.
Li Jianguo replied at the moment, "These are all grown in special sea areas, each piece cost at least 100,000 yuan, others won’t even sell it, they only gave us a few, there’s only a price but no market. Don’t even think about it, we can’t afford to sell this stuff."
The main chef was dumbfounded in shock.
He dared not harbor any mischievous thoughts again.
With each piece costing more than one hundred thousand RMB, equivalent to a small city’s flat, he didn’t dare even utter the idea of having a taste. Even if it’s fake, he still didn’t have the guts to refute.
In the box.
Everyone in the room greedily eyed the seafood on the table, including the usually gentle Lin Jiaxue and Qin Shiyu. Tang Qing could only marvel in awe -the power of primal instincts was too overwhelming, resisting it was futile, akin to fighting against desires.
"Brother Qin, all the dishes are served." Li Jianguo told Qin Yugang.
"Okay then, let’s eat." Unable to resist the temptation, Qin Yugang picked up his chopsticks and grabbed a big crab into his bowl. Tang Qing had brought so much this time, the table was piled high. It was enough for everyone to have their fill.
Upon the go-signal to eat, everyone’s hands quickly picked up their favored seafood and started eating. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Li Kai and his father, Li Jianguo, were initially not very curious. However, they couldn’t control themselves once they had a taste of the shrimp meat.
No unnecessary words were spoken.
Eating was the king’s road.
Tang Qing was peeling shells and picking meat for Lin Jiaxue on one side. After a few bites, Lin Jiaxue managed to control her pace. Unlike Qin ShiQi, who was gobbling up the food without any decorum.
"Tangtang, this crab is so delicious, I really can’t resist." Lin Jiaxue couldn’t help but exclaim.
Tang Qing picked up a piece of yellow croaker and fed it into Lin Jiaxue’s mouth: "Then eat more, rest assured, you won’t get fat. Besides, it is good to gain a little weight; without flesh, there’s no hand-feel," he said, while staring intently where he ’shouldn’t be looking’. Indeed, the maiden was indeed well-endowed, at least a C cup.
"Hmm."
Lin Jiaxue certainly felt Tang Qing’s unscrupulous gaze. She blushed and lowered her head. However, everyone else was too preoccupied with enjoying their food to notice the atmosphere on Tang Qing’s side.
"Mr. Li, this stuff is too delicious, if your restaurant served this kind of seafood all the time, I’m sure your future business would definitely boom," praised Tang’s father while he was eating.
Li Jianguo glanced at Tang Qing, smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Tang, we can’t afford this kind of seafood, because Tang’s friend doesn’t sell it to others. He only gives it away."
"Well, that’s a bit of a pity indeed. After eating it, I feel warm all over and the next morning my periarthritis feels much better," said Tang’s father, nodding in agreement.
"I feel the same way, after eating it, I slept really well the next day. I was full of energy the past few days and never expected it to have health benefits." Lin’s father also said.
"Exactly, look, these days, I feel that my skin has become glossy!" Mother Tang also joined in.
"Yes, yes, yes, I have the same feeling..."
"..."
Tang Qing didn’t expect that this stuff would have such effects. It was truly a wonder drug. The only issue was that it was impossible to experiment with how much one needs to eat to completely cure certain diseases.
"Tangtang, does your friend have more? We should buy more to eat," said Tang’s father again. Even though Li Jianguo said it was not for sale, since he had given so much to Tang Qing already, it shouldn’t be too difficult to buy some from him.
"Sure, I’ll ask him when the time comes. It should be no problem for us to eat it, he is my bro," Tang Qing promised.
Upon hearing this, Li Jianguo felt envious.
"Tang, how about you bring some for display at our restaurant too." suggested Li Jianguo.
Tang Qing shook his head and smiled, "Uncle Li, I think it might be better not to, I am afraid you will not be able to resist eating it."
"Haha...Old Li, look at the battleground in front you, you truly have a strong appetite, I guess it won’t take you more than two days to finish all of it," joked Qin Yugang.
Li Jianguo also erupted into laughter.
This thing was so expensive, if it wasn’t this occasion, how could he bring himself to eat it? But he didn’t say anything more, knowing that he would have chances to eat it in the future. Given his relationship with Li Kai, he might even be able to sneak in a bite occasionally.
"Tangtang, your winter vacation begins tomorrow, right?" Tang’s mother asked. Seeing Tang Qing and Lin Jiaxue whispering sweet nothings to each other, she felt her life was almost complete. The only thing missing, she thought, was a room full of children and grandchildren. She even considered letting her son quickly have a baby with Lin Jiaxue.
"Yes, it does," Tang Qing replied.
"Then, you should stay home these few days and study hard. The National College Entrance Examination is not a trifle. Or you could go to Jiaxue’s place and revise together. Jiaxue, keep an eye on this kid, don’t let him run around," Tang’s mother instructed.
Tang Qing immediately responded, "I know, Mom. By the way, my second uncle said he would come back for a visit after my entrance exam, and he’ll bring my cousin and my second aunt with him. We could come here for another meal then, and I will ask my friends for some seafood to let my second uncle and others taste."
"We can’t just take things from others. We must pay them. Our family is not poor now, we can’t exploit others. Let me know how much it is."
"I understand, Mom."
