A Divine Farmer

Chapter 385

C385 – They Were Against Soaring Dragon

Looking at Qiu Yuansheng’s expression of wanting to swallow a fly, many of them could not help but feel the pain in their stomachs.

Qiu Yuansheng was a sly old fox. He had really smashed his own foot with a rock. What he said just now was even better than what he had sung. He had said that he would not hesitate to close down Hundred River for the prosperity of Yanjing’s food industry.

Before Hundred River could close down, this old fox was already unable to sit still. Why did he have to continue pretending?

However, what Zhang Xiaolong said just now was really refreshing. He had directly used the other party’s original words to seal it back. According to what you meant, to contribute to the prosperity of Yanjing’s food industry, what else could you say?

“Everyone, don’t listen to Zhang Xiaolong changing the topic here. I was just asking, do you believe that salt can make a cucumber so delicious?” Qiu Yuansheng was an old fox, so he naturally had his own way of thinking. “No matter if you believe it or not, I don’t believe it. To be able to make that kind of taste, I believe that Zhang Xiaolong must have put in a lot of effort in seasoning. On the surface, it looks like salt, but in fact, no one knows what he has put in. And if you can’t get this recipe, no matter how much money you buy him, you will only regret it in the end.”

Everyone frowned slightly. It had to be said that this question had hit the nail on the head. This was exactly what many people were worried about.

Everyone was aiming for the quality and taste of Zhang Xiaolong’s vegetables. However, if the vegetables they bought were different from what they were eating now, it would be a huge loss.

Not to mention other things, if they could really make a dish that people would love to eat, then they would pretend that they didn’t understand what Qiu Yuansheng was talking about. They would just follow his instructions and go to Zhang Xiaolong’s place to order the dishes. That way, they would be able to fool everyone. However, if the dish they made was not as good as they expected, and they offended Qiu Yuansheng for Zhang Xiaolong’s sake, it would not be worth it.

Zhang Xiaolong could see everyone’s gaze clearly, but he just looked at Qiu Yuansheng coldly and said indifferently, “Director Qiu, do you understand the dishes that our Divine Dragon Great Restaurant makes? Just now, you were urging everyone to buy my dishes, saying that I was eating alone. Now that I have opened up my supply, you are saying that my dishes are not good, and you want to pull everyone away from me. I wonder what I, Zhang Xiaolong, should do to satisfy Director Qiu?”

“Hehe, I am just voicing a little doubt on behalf of everyone, because anyone with a bit of common sense can imagine that you would not think that everyone, who have been doing business for at least a decade, would be tricked by such a small trick, right?” Qiu Yuansheng swept his gaze across the crowd and said.

His words sounded like the scene of the previous snatch was just a joke, but everyone knew in their hearts that he was serious.

Truthfully speaking, those who had worked with Qiu Yuansheng before all understood that his family’s dishes were not considered good, but they were not bad either. However, since he had used them all at once, it would be embarrassing for him if he suddenly cut them off. Furthermore, with his title as the Restaurant and Catering Association President, he would be a little fearful.

Just like that, the Qiu family’s vegetable wholesale business had always been flourishing. Everyone was dependent on it.

However, when they saw Zhang Xiaolong’s vegetables and heard Qiu Yuansheng’s bold words, everyone was anxious to get rid of this god that was difficult to send away. However, the god had gone back on his word.

“If Director Qiu is only worried about everyone, then you can put your heart in your stomach. Everyone is not an idiot. You can tell the quality of the food with a single glance. Of course, our Soaring Dragon’s dishes are a little special. As long as everyone doesn’t mind the trouble, you can sample every batch of food. If you are unsatisfied, you can refund the deposit, and you will not have to worry about anything. Director Qiu, do you think this is enough?” Zhang Xiaolong said magnanimously.

Qiu Yuansheng was so angry that his teeth were chattering, but he could not say a single word.

Since the conversation had already reached this point, what else could he say?

The bosses of the various hotels were once again excited. This young man was not bad. He was bold and courageous. I like it. Every batch of food can be sampled and the deposit can be refunded. This can be considered as removing everyone’s worries. What else is there to worry about?

In fact, there was no need to sample every batch of food. Just by saying that, Zhang Xiaolong’s words were enough to prove that the quality of the food was worthy of any test. At least in this aspect, the Hundred River Company of the Qiu family would not dare to say otherwise. Otherwise, there would be a dozen cases of people asking for refunds every day.

“Director Zhang, uh… this name is a bit strange. I am a few years older than you, so I don’t mind calling you Xiaolong directly. Xiaolong, our restaurant has a lot of dishes, so please consider us first…”

“Brother Xiaolong, we are from Tian Long Hotel. Look at the names of our two restaurants, they are fated to be called Hundred River Company and Tian Long Hotel. Please leave some of your vegetables for us. Don’t sell them all out!”

“Don’t surround me, Brother Xiaolong.” A female boss came up with a gentle smile, “Brother, I know a lot of beautiful girls. They are all thinking of finding a capable partner like you. How about this, give me some of your dishes. You know it’s not easy for a woman like me…”

For a moment, Zhang Xiaolong was overwhelmed by the number of questions he had to answer.

“Alright!” Qiu Yuansheng shouted with the loudspeaker, “Everyone, calm down. Don’t forget what kind of situation we are in. Don’t forget your identity…”

Tch…

These words immediately made people despise him. What kind of situation? It was just an occasion where you wanted to show off, but you didn’t.

What kind of identity? Everyone was a restaurant and hotel owner. If they were to meet a good dish, you wouldn’t let them have it? If they were to compete for the Hundred River Company’s dishes, you would definitely not say anything about the situation.

“What is the purpose of the establishment of the Restaurant and Catering Association? It is to protect everyone’s interests.” Qiu Yuansheng knew that no one would listen to him when he was trying to explain the big picture. These people were the most pragmatic businessmen. Therefore, he changed the topic and went straight to the point, “Do you all believe that Zhang Xiaolong’s dishes are good? But no matter how good his dishes are, how many dishes can he provide? You all heard him. First come, first serve. Under such circumstances, is it possible for you to get delicious and cheap vegetables?”

Rarity determines the price. Everyone present naturally knew the simplest principle of the market.

Zhang Xiaolong’s dishes were now being highly sought after by everyone, so the price would definitely be high. This was already unavoidable.

But so what? Even if the price was doubled, could you just use salt to make delicious vegetarian dishes? Others could, but only if they were worth it!

“I know that everyone doesn’t care about the price now. Even if the price is doubled, we can still make up for it. Furthermore, there are many customers who will buy it. In the end, everyone will benefit more. However, you guys have not thought about the most important problem that I have mentioned. Zhang Xiaolong simply cannot supply it. In this way, how many families will be happy and how many families will be sad?”

Qiu Yuansheng raised his arms high in the air. “If his dishes are really that good, then the restaurant will have a good business. If not, do you expect them to close down? For the stability of Yanjing’s food and beverage market, my decision is to firmly boycott Soaring Dragon Company’s vegetables!”
