78: Revised: Chapter 78 There’s Sothing Fishy
When he returned, he found that three or four delivery vans were parked at the back door of Juxian Inn, with the trunks of each van piled high with various vegetables, fresh at, and even live chickens and ducks.
It was obvious that these people were here to make deliveries.
As the largest and most reputable restaurant in town, Juxian Inn consud a huge amount of fresh produce and at daily.
This was one of the reasons Wu Xiaoyu targeted it for sales.
After these people unloaded the goods, they didn’t leave imdiately but gathered around to smoke and chat.
Shortly, the chubby middle-aged man ca out from inside.
Seeing this, the others quickly gathered around, offering cigarettes and nodding their heads in flattery.
The chubby middle-aged man didn’t hesitate to take a cigarette, and the others hastily helped light it for him.
Dammit!
Not gutsy, but quite a show-off!
Judging by his deanor, he must be the one in charge of procurent at Juxian Inn.
But why did he act so dismissively when I offered him mushrooms?
Isn’t the procurent person supposed to compare different suppliers and choose the one with the best quality and price?
Why did he not even look at my mushrooms and just shoo
away?
Could there be so shady dealings going on?
The chubby middle-aged man took a puff and exhaled a smoke ring with a blissful expression.
He then said to the others:
“Overall, today’s goods are acceptable, but…
make sure to never substitute with lower quality items, got it?”
The others nodded repeatedly in agreent.
Wu Xiaoyu beca even more puzzled by his words.
If he was responsible, then why treat
like that?
I didn’t offend him.
As he wondered, he saw the middle-aged man close the iron door of Juxian Inn’s kitchen and then gather the others between two vans.
Wu Xiaoyu leaned against a corner opposite Juxian Inn’s back kitchen.
Although he couldn’t see them, he could hear their conversation clearly.
“Brother Ma, it’s mid-month again.
Here’s so money for your tea…”
“And for your cigarettes…”
“…”
Dammit!
There really is sothing fishy!
They say procurent positions are lucrative; today, I see it’s true.
Even the kitchen of a hotel gets red envelopes!
It seems these vegetable and at suppliers might also be giving kickbacks to this fat pig!
For example, report two yuan per pound vegetables as three yuan per pound.
The extra dollar goes into the fat pig’s pocket.
But Juxian Inn’s business is doing so well; there shouldn’t be such a big loophole in its operation!
While contemplating, he heard the fat pig say to soone: “Liu Si’er, your mushrooms haven’t been great lately!”
“Find a good batch of mushrooms and send them over.
You know our famous breakfast is mushroom porridge.
Diners have been complaining about the taste.
If this continues, I can’t protect you!”
Liu Si’er hurriedly complained: “Brother Ma, it’s not my fault.
You know it hasn’t rained much recently, and wild mushrooms are hard to find.
I had to use cultivated ones temporarily!”
Brother Ma snorted in displeasure and said, “Hard to find?
Just earlier, a young guy asked if we wanted to buy wild mushrooms.
How co he could find them?”
“Don’t always think about skimping money from those peasants.
If you slightly raise the purchase price, won’t there be people collecting wild mushrooms?”
When Liu Si’er heard soone ca to sell wild mushrooms, his heart sank, fearing his business might be taken away.
He quickly swore:
“Brother Ma!
Next ti, I’ll definitely bring wild ones.
Please speak well of
to your boss and don’t let him kick
out!”
Brother Ma, seeing his worried deanor, felt even more superior with his small authority.
A sense of superiority arose, and he patted his chest, saying:
“Don’t worry, I already sent him away.
As long as I’m here and you listen to , the business is still yours…
it won’t run away!”
Liu San, hearing his confident assurance, felt more at ease and took out so more hundreds from another pocket to stuff into Brother Ma’s pocket.
Brother Ma patted his shoulder in an encouraging manner, and the others praised him for being righteous.
Listening to their shaless conversation, Wu Xiaoyu got angrier.
So that’s why he cursed at .
It turns out they had a secret deal!
The seemingly clean kitchen hides such filthy deeds.
You really don’t know the inside story unless you’re in the business!
If our restaurant with Zhou Dong opens, we’ll strictly regulate procurent to prevent such unscrupulous people from taking advantage!
But what should I do with my mushrooms?
Sell to other restaurants?
Besides Juxian Inn, most are small eateries in town.
The demand for mushrooms in these small restaurants is pitifully low, and they mostly use cultivated ones.
My wild mushrooms wouldn’t fetch a good price.
If I expose Brother Ma at Juxian Inn, what would happen?
As soon as he thought of this, Wu Xiaoyu dismissed the idea.
From Brother Ma’s behavior in the kitchen, he likely holds so status here.
Who would believe
without evidence?
Forget it.
When the mushrooms are cultivated, I’ll let Zhou Dong’s father set a fair price, just not cheaper than cultivated mushrooms.
Wu Xiaoyu sighed, shook his head, and walked out from the corner towards where his tricycle was parked.
At that mont, the people hiding behind the vans also ca out and headed to their respective cars.
Brother Ma whispered to Liu Si’er: “See him?
He’s the one trying to steal your business!”
Liu Si’er glanced at Wu Xiaoyu and said to Brother Ma: “I rely on you to look out for !” Then he also got into his car and prepared to leave.
Wu Xiaoyu walked to his tricycle, checked the items on it, and was about to leave when Brother Ma walked over and sarcastically said:
“See those people with the vans?
They’re all our suppliers.
Only big businesses can guarantee fresh vegetables and at.
You, a small-ti trader, better set up a stall in the market!”
Dammit!
I didn’t provoke you.
Why start with your bullshit!
Looking for trouble, huh!
Wu Xiaoyu, infuriated by his taunts, swung around and slapped him hard!
This Brother Ma, who had just been flattered by others, hadn’t even co down from his cloud when he was slapped hard, leaving him speechless with anger.
