Chapter 154 I'll give you a taste first
"what happened?"
"An An! Boss Wang was fine with what he said yesterday, but today he actually raised the price!" Xiao Ling was so angry.
The previous price was agreed upon online and confirmed again yesterday. As a result, when we were about to sign the contract today, Boss Wang suddenly changed his mind.
Pei Yuanbai was also very angry. "He said that his fish are different from those in other people's fish ponds and cannot be sold to us at the previous price. He insisted on raising the price, but I did not agree."
He sat on the sofa with a sullen face.
When his friend introduced him to Boss Wang, he said that raising fish was not easy and that fish had been hard to sell in recent years. In addition, his fish was really good, so Pei Yuanbai didn't want to talk nonsense with him.
When talking online, he felt that the other party was quite straightforward and left a good impression on him, so he decided to look at their fish pond first.
But online communication is one thing, and the real experience is a completely different story.
Their factory originally needed a large quantity, and the price they offered to Boss Wang was already slightly higher than the market price.
Now that I have reached the final stage, I still want a higher price...
Doesn't he know this? It's called greed.
"He doesn't really think that we can't buy fish except from him, right? If he wants to raise the price, then I won't buy it."
Pei Yuanbai took several deep breaths, and his mood finally eased a lot.
Thinking back to when he was young and ignorant, he had seen a lot of things like this, but he never expected that there would come a day when he would be the one to take advantage.
"It's okay, if you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it."
Xia Anan pushed the fresh lotus seeds that she and Xia Baobao bought today to the middle of the table and said, "Don't be angry, you two. Just think of it as going out for some fun and eating some lotus seeds."
"An An, I'm sorry. I should have bargained with the other party at that time. Now I have to look for a fish pond again."
Now Pei Yuanbai has calmed down, and the first thing he thought of is that he had delayed Xia Anan's promotion of new products.
Xia Anan waved her hands: "That's nothing. It's not that easy to find a suitable supplier. By the way, how about the second one?"
"The second company has signed it. Here is the contract." Xiaoling took out the contract from her bag.
Xia Anan checked it and found no problem, so she asked Xiaoling to put it away.
"No, I still feel uncomfortable!" Pei Yuanbai slapped his thigh, stood up from the sofa, and returned to the room angrily.
Xiaoling said quickly: "It's okay, he is like this. He feels bad that he can't finish this matter today. Now he is probably going to find other fish farmers nearby."
"Ok."
Xia Anan didn't expect that this matter would put so much pressure on Pei Yuanbai, but since Xiaoling said so, she let Pei Yuanbai contact them first, and if it didn't work, she would do it herself.
"Okay, the time isn't too far off, shall we go eat somewhere nearby? I saw a restaurant nearby that had pretty good reviews."
Xiaoling seemed to have no psychological burden and went out with Xia Anan and the little guy.
The restaurant recommended by Xiaoling was not far from the hotel where they were staying, only two streets away, so the three decided to walk there.
Xia Baobao held her hand and walked in front, talking to her about what he and Xia Anan had played this morning.
If Xia Anan hadn't experienced it personally, she really wouldn't have understood it.
But Xiaoling was very supportive and looked surprised no matter what Xia Baobao said.
Xia Anan felt that if the little guy had a tail, he would be so proud of it now...
The restaurant is located in a small alley. It is a private restaurant and looks ordinary, but it is very special after you enter.
The air was filled with the aroma of food and the place was already full of people.
The three of them waited for ten minutes before they were seated. They were already starving, so they picked up the menu and started to choose.
"Order more. It's not easy for you to come out here, so try everything." Xiaoling's eyes sparkled, and she wanted to mark all the dishes on the menu.
Thinking of the small bowls of rice in the restaurant, Xia Anan silently ordered one more portion.
"It shouldn't be wasted. Bao Bao has eaten almost more than me..."
The boss was stunned for a moment when he came over to get the menu, and looked at Xia Anan, "Little girl, why do I feel like you look familiar?"
Xia Anan thought to herself that she was probably not so famous that people would recognize her at any random restaurant, so she smiled and said, "Really? This is my first time eating here, and I heard from others that the food here is good..."
The boss didn't think much about it and said, "Our food is really good. I'll give you two small cold dishes later."
"Thank you, boss!"
Xia Anan didn't expect to have such a reward, and two small cold dishes were quickly served.
One serving of green beans with sesame sauce and one serving of cold lotus root slices.
"Eat, eat! What do you want to eat? Auntie will serve it for you."
Xia Baobao didn't make a choice: "I want both!"
"Boss, do you have lotus roots growing here? Is this the fresh lotus root this year?"
This kind of lotus root tastes very sweet, unlike the stock in the refrigerator. Xia Anan was curious, so she asked the boss about it when he served the dish.
"Little girl, you guessed it right! This lotus root is from our family. We dug out a small amount now, just to give it to people to try! You can't buy much at the market!"
The boss seemed very satisfied with his lotus field and showed her photos from his mobile phone.
"Look, this is when we were digging lotus roots last year. There were so many white lotuses. This whole truck was full of them and was shipped to other places."
Xia Anan took a look at the photo and found it was indeed spectacular.
The boss then expressed regret, "It's the lotus root. Not many people like to eat it. We can't sell many of them locally. They are all bought by others at a low price and sent to other places!"
Xiaoling followed with regret, "Yes, it's not easy to farm nowadays. I work hard for a year, but in the end all the money is taken away by others."
Xia Anan suddenly thought of something, opened her phone, and searched, but she didn't find what she wanted.
"Boss, let me ask again, are the lotus roots you usually grow pink or crispy?"
Xiaoling was surprised: "An'an, aren't all lotus roots crispy? What is pink lotus root?"
"Little girl, I didn't expect you to know all this! The lotus roots here are really different. Some lotus roots become pink if you cook them too long in the soup."
Xia Anan turned on her phone and said, "Boss, when do we start digging the lotus roots? Send me a message later and I'll bring the kids over to take a look."
The boss was a little confused at first, but when he saw Xia Baobao beside her, he immediately understood.
Children nowadays have never seen these things, so it is understandable that they want to see something new.
"Okay, there are still a few months to go. Let's start when the weather gets cold. If I remember it later, I'll contact you."
After the boss left, Xiaoling asked curiously, "An'an, aren't we here to buy fish? Why are you asking about lotus roots again? I didn't expect there are any new ways to eat lotus roots."
Xia Anan decided to keep it a secret: "Then I will definitely let you taste it in advance when I make it."
