Chapter 383 Seafood Dinner
Originally, Xiong Lijin was mainly engaged in the business of grain, cloth and clothing, and the people who followed him naturally also dealt in these commodities.
These dried seafood products were accidentally purchased by Xiong Lijin and his colleagues last winter when they drove their truck around. The big man had no contact with the clerk who came here to purchase the goods, so he had no idea what price those things could be sold for.
The fishermen mentioned this one dollar when they were chatting with him. After hearing this, the big man felt that the fishermen were really suffering a loss. After all, the purchase price was only 2 cents per pound, and people bought at least one dollar. After deducting the transportation costs, the profit was not small.
After hearing what he said, Fu Biao and Xiong Lijin had an idea in their minds, although they didn't understand why this kind of thing was sold at such a high price. Just like the price of dried abalone was not low either, there must be someone who knew the value of it.
"The other sea cucumbers, scallops, etc. were all purchased according to the quantity you specified. My second sister-in-law went to watch the fishermen pick them out. They are all good stuff and absolutely reliable." If the right person can be found, this batch of stuff can be sold at a high price. However, the big man didn't care how much they could sell it for, anyway, he had already got his share.
"Okay, if I make some money, I'll treat you guys to a roasted whole lamb!" Xiong Lijin was also very generous to the staff. He patted the chest of a man who was a head taller than him and sighed, "It's a pity that you have such a small body."
If my legs hadn't been broken, and I had stayed in the army, I would have had a bright future.
The big man smiled nonchalantly, "Okay, I'll wait."
Fu Biao closed the door of the truck and said to the big man, "I'll park the car here?"
"Okay, stop here. I'll let Xiaojun take you to the guesthouse later. Do you want to have dinner at home?"
"No, you guys are busy too, we can just go to a restaurant and have a meal later." Fu Biao rejected the suggestion. It was quite troublesome to go to someone's house for a meal these days. It would be better for them to go to a restaurant together and have a relaxing meal.
"That's fine. It's getting late. If you go earlier, you can eat more delicious food." After all, the quantity of seafood purchased is limited. Because the ingredients must be kept fresh, if they are sold out, we can only eat ordinary dishes.
"Yeah." Fu Biao nodded.
The guide ran out of the house with the key in his hand. Before leaving, he told the big man to wait for him for dinner, and then he took Jiang Yu and the others away.
Several people took their own spare clothes and prepared to go to the guesthouse to wash their faces and relax.
Xiaojun led them into the guesthouse, greeted the woman knitting at the front desk, and went straight upstairs. "The room is at the end of the third floor, next to the water room, so it's convenient for everyone to use water."
When they reached the door of the room, Xiaojun handed the key to Fu Biao, "One single room, three triple rooms, the hotel is just opposite."
"Okay, then you go back first, don't miss dinner." Xiong Lijin took the key, feeling embarrassed to keep him any longer. Xiaojun was also a worker, and he had just helped move things, so he must be hungry now.
"Well, I'll come see you guys tomorrow morning." Xiaojun said and was about to leave.
Jiang Yu thought that there was no need for her to come and lead the way, as she had remembered everything. But when she saw that Fu Biao and the others were silent, she did not act on her own.
After Xiaojun left, Xiong Lijin gave the key to the single room to Jiang Yu. He and Fu Biao lived in one room, and the rest of the people lived in two rooms.
"Put your things down, wash your face, and let's go eat." Fu Biao went to Jiang Yu's room first, checked it inside and out, especially to see if the doors and windows were closed tightly. After making sure there was no problem, he told Jiang Yu and went back to his own room.
A quarter of an hour later, there was a knock on Jiang Yu's door. "Jiang Yu, are you ready?"
Jiang Yu quickly picked up his coat, opened the door and came out, "Okay, okay."
"Let's go and have a seafood dinner~" Xiong Lijin said to Jiang Yu with a smile and an expectant look on his face.
"Go, go, go!" Jiang Yu immediately stood up.
The group rushed into the state-owned restaurant opposite before everyone else got off work. The waiter was still wiping the table with a rag in preparation for opening. He was stunned for a moment when he saw someone come in, then looked at the clock and found that he had remembered the time correctly, so it was all right.
"Big sister, can we order now?" Xiong Lijin looked at the small blackboard with shining eyes. It said shrimps, fried hairtail, steamed pomfret, yellow clams, swimming crabs, razor clams...
In addition to seafood, there are many special dishes, such as fried stew, smoked chicken, tofu soup... The staple foods include hanging oven cakes, cold noodles, rice forks, and of course rice and steamed buns are also available.
Jiang Yu and Xiong Lijin both looked at the waitress at the same time. As long as she nodded, they would immediately start to order the dishes. It was nothing unusual. It was just that there were so many people and their appetites were great, so they wanted to try all the dishes!
The waiter was startled by the look and nodded subconsciously, "Okay."
"Big sister, in addition to the rice, steamed buns, braised pork, and cabbage soup, please bring one portion of the other dishes. Do we have a private room here? There are a lot of us..." Fu Biao ordered the dishes before the two idiots could speak. It wasn't really ordering, at least he didn't have to say the names of the dishes.
Xiong Lijin and Jiang Yu glared at him unhappily. How could you do this? Aren't you depriving us of our happiness? It's annoying!
The waiter quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes. Come on, I'll take you upstairs. Are you sure you want that much?"
"We are outsiders, and we have come here specially to taste your local specialties. There are so many seafoods, of course we have to try them all." Xiong Lijin said confidently. If Fu Biao hadn't been so quick-witted, he would have wanted to perform a crosstalk for the elder sister.
The waitress suddenly realized that the accents were different. "Okay, you guys sit in the box for a while. I'll talk to our chef and guarantee that the food he cooks for you will be delicious!" She opened the door and gave them a box that could seat 12 people.
"Okay, thank you for your help, big sister!" Fu Biao grabbed Xiong Lijin, who was about to say something, and quickly entered the box first.
Xiong Lijin slapped Fu Biao on the arm and said, "You're choking my throat, you bastard!"
Jiang Yu laughed loudly in the back.
Seeing this, the others followed in with smiles on their eyes.
The guesthouse they stayed in was located next to two large factories in the county town. If it weren't for this geographical location, this state-owned hotel would not have had private rooms.
Because some factory leaders usually entertain guests here.
The big man arranged for them to stay here because he took into consideration that they wanted to eat something delicious. After all, this state-owned restaurant has been tested by the locals, and the taste and ingredients are definitely worth the price.
This is exactly what they want.
Not long after the waiter left, he came up with a large tray, followed by a young man holding a small basket of hanging oven cakes.
A bowl of tofu soup filled with ingredients was placed in front of each person. The waitress said enthusiastically, "You can eat the freshly baked pancakes with the tofu soup. This is what we locals eat for breakfast, but many outsiders also say it tastes good. You can try it. The seafood and other things are already in the pot. Wait for me, son."
