Capítulo 1650: Chapter 1507: Liubao Feeling Wronged
If these pea shoots were sold around the New Year, it wouldn’t be surprising for the price to be two to three tis higher. But now, in early May, it’s the peak season, and the local market price is generally around five yuan.
Therefore, at 15 yuan per pound, everyone thinks it’s a bit expensive! So they just politely responded with a couple of words.
The captain’s wife didn’t mind; after all, if tourists don’t buy, other rchants will co to collect the pea shoots later, she won’t lose anything. She then walked off confidently with her basket.
Master Jiang also raised his voice: “Everyone, mind the ti. Our dishes won’t taste good if they’re overcooked, and these pea shoots can’t be boiled for too long either, so we’re having lunch from 11:30 to 12:30. If you’re late, there might not be enough dishes left.”
“If you want to eat, just register and get a tag.”
Due to ti constraints, they didn’t have ti to set up a full paynt system, so they just made a bunch of small tags, and whoever eats would just hand in a tag, which made things easier.
“Do children have to pay for als?” soone among the tourists asked.
Oh dear!
They didn’t consider this detail, as it had been a long ti since a child had co to the village.
Fortunately, Master Jiang was experienced: “Later, we’ll put a asuring stick here, anyone under a ter tall doesn’t have to pay—oh, and anyone with kids should let us know in advance, so I can ask the boss to steam an egg for the child.”
No matter if the child likes it or not, there’s no reason not to take advantage of a freebie!
So, everyone didn’t fuss about the cafeteria al and quickly took their children to register. While listening to the paynt registration, Master Jiang also instructed: “Give the number tag to children as well, and use this tag to get the stead egg.”
The eggs in their village were nothing special, but Master Jiang said this to encourage Song Tan to provide so eggs. Not many children ca today, and even if they add more water to the stead eggs, they’d still taste fine, not a problem.
But they had to make a note—”Guests from a distance, please ensure that the stead eggs are not wasted if the kids don’t eat them, as they’re actually quite expensive. Moreover, only the first batch of tourists gets this benefit, there won’t be any later… make sure to ntion this when posting on social dia, otherwise, if people co asking us for it, we might not be able to supply.”
These words made the tourists laugh again.
“Alright!”
“Okay!”
“Don’t worry!”
They thought to themselves how interesting this village was. It was both generous, with well-planned arrangents, and stingy, even the thought of steaming an egg for children was beyond their supply?
But since they were told the kids could eat for free, they couldn’t be picky, and they committed this to mory.
Master Jiang didn’t care what everyone thought, having already anticipated the boss’s supplies, he had to give an explanation:
“…Here’s the deal, I always feel that feedback from the first batch is very important. Even if there are any flaws today, as long as they think the food is delicious, they’ll still praise it online. After all, it’s only the first day of the holiday today.”
Song Tan also thought it made sense.
Besides, they were just a few eggs, she couldn’t be stingy now!
Ah, the stereotype of poverty.
“Don’t add any extra water, since there aren’t many kids, just steam one per person… But let’s make it clear, if soone wastes it, rember their faces well, and we won’t welco them next ti.”
“Absolutely!”
A good chef cannot tolerate anyone wasting ingredients!
Master Jiang was the first to agree: “Rest assured, I will have Xiao Yuan rember anyone who wastes!” Several assistants who transferred from other jobs were not only strong but also diligent, with very good mories!
There was still half an hour until alti, which was just enough ti for a stroll around.
Many visitors who drove over only had a bite of breakfast, plus they’ve been on the rural roads for quite a while, so they were indeed a bit hungry now.
At this mont, waiting for lunch, they stayed close, wandering around the factory building.
As they wandered, they saw Xiao Yuan and others feeding so big dogs.
No one objected to feeding dogs, as many of them had dogs at ho, but what was said while feeding them was a bit off-putting.
Looking at the large, shiny, clean stainless steel bowls filled with big bones and chunks of at, along with chicken and duck breast, the feeders also stroked the dogs’ shiny heads:
“Here, since there are many children today, you’ve been wronged playing in the back, have a bit of at to tide you over, we’ll give you sothing better later.”
[Wronged][Tide over]
In those big dog bowls, the at and bones together probably cost two hundred yuan, right? How did the al standards seem higher than that for these tourists?
Moreover, what they said sounded reluctant, and the dogs’ expressions also seed reluctant, as if eating these was really just to tide them over.
What the tourists didn’t know was that among those guarding the factory today was Liubao, a habitual offender, notorious for stealing crops from the fields! He used to steal from Huang Dou’s fields and the Chestnut Garden, but now, stationed at the edge of the vegetable field and the kitchen door, he was always whining and conning people out of food and drinks.
They weren’t that rare for at and such, these robust dogs.
What they really cherished was whether Master Jiang’s private cooking session for the owners would give them more bites?
“Whimper…”
Liubao fixed its gaze on a big chunk of at, letting out a sound of grievance.
Tourists: …
…
At the other end of the factory, under the dormitory building, Yan Ran was sitting on a small stool in the strawberry garden, as steady as a mountain.
Although this year’s strawberries will not have a second batch, the seedlings are strong! The leaves are lush green and glossy, a sign of good strawberries.
People from the mountain now knew that this small plot was an experintal field and wouldn’t touch it easily, but what if a tourist wanted to dig up a plant to take ho?
In any case, with so many people around, it was more reliable for her to watch over it personally.
This watch was indeed necessary, as in just a short while, several elderly won ca over to marvel and were eager to try; obviously, if no one was watching, they’d dare to make a move.
Secretary Xiaozu in the village had gone over the procedures twice in the village already and ca up the mountain in a low profile as well. Upon seeing this scene, suddenly exclaid:
“Well, since there are so many tourists today, let’s ask Tian Tian if she wants to sell strawberries!”
They had transplanted many runners from Song Tan’s greenhouse strawberries, and now they had quite a scale. In May, many of the strawberries were nearly ripe, and Secretary Xiaozu had previously eaten too many strawberries from the greenhouse and didn’t think of it at first!
She looked at Yan Ran: “So, are the strawberries over there ripe?”
Yan Ran and her team recorded data every day, so she nodded promptly: “Ripe! They are planning to set up a stall in the urban area during the May Day holiday to see how the market is!”
Sitting back waiting for buyers was too passive, and Tian Tian always liked to have several plans ready.
Secretary Xiaozu also bead with joy: selling anyone’s products wasn’t important; what’s important is making these tourists feel it’s worth coming, that there’s value, and they’re willing to spend here!
Once it becos a habit, their basket-of-produce plan could slowly co to fruition!
