Chapter 458 (2/2)
“Boss Yuan, what about we go to check the radishes first?” As Ling Hong had other intentions in the heart, he naturally had to make Yuan Zhou satisfied first.
“Okay. Sir, please take us to look at your radishes.” After a nod, Yuan Zhou said to Qian Jintian who was leading the way ahead of them.
“Okay. There are many different varieties of radishes here. According to the traditional rules, however, you can’t buy too much of each type. Otherwise, there won’t be enough for others.” Qian Jintian introduced to them while walking ahead.
That’s right. Qian Jintian also had his own rules. Due to the limited amount, he has limits on each type of vegetable.
“Got it. These are your traditional rules while Boss Yuan has his Compass rules.” Ling Hong nodded his head and answered.
Seeing Ling Hong nod his head, Qian Jintian didn’t pay attention to his words anymore and continued leading the way.
“All these are the radishes. Although they are planted in the same area, managing them isn’t easy at all.” Qian Jintian said proudly as soon as he walked to the radish patch.
He took them across four patches before they arrived. The area ahead of them was separated into small grids and each of them had radishes in various colors and varieties planted inside.
“They are all very good. Among the radishes here, the Weiqing radish is the best.” Yuan Zhou looked at the vegetable field in front of him and felt quite satisfied.
These radishes were much better than those sold in the vegetable market. Although they weren’t so good as those provided by the system, they were still the excellent goods that people could rarely obtain. It could be seen that Qian Jintian cared much about the radishes.
“You really have a good insight. Among all my radishes, the Weiqing radishes are the best.” Qian Jintian burst into laughter and then said quite contentedly.
“I’d like to buy some Weiqing radishes and Baiyuchun radishes.” Yuan Zhou was fairly knowledgeable about the varieties of radishes.
“I have to admit that you know radishes quite well. Do you want to pull them out by yourself or let me help?” Qian Jintian thumbed up to Yuan Zhou and asked him.
“I have to bother you on that. I just know the varieties well, but you definitely will do better than me in pulling them out.” Yuan Zhou was rather respectful of the old man.
“Of course.” Qian Jintian nodded his head deservedly before he went to pull the radishes out.
“Master Qian, please help me with my vegetables, too.” Ling Hong caught the opportunity timely and said immediately.
“No problem.” Qian Jintian answered enthusiastically.
While he was pulling the radishes out, he asked them with great enthusiasm.
“Are you also buying them to cook dinner back home?” Qian Jintian knew that some rich families usually came to buy his vegetables for the sake of safety and authentic tastes and hence asked.
“Nope. We are going to eat hotpot.” Ling Hong shook his head and said.
“Well, it’s also not bad to eat hotpot back home.” Qian Jintian nodded.
“No. We’ll eat the hotpot in the restaurant.” Ling Hong followed.
“Eat in the restaurant? Aren’t there side ingredients prepared for the hotpot in the restaurant?” Qian Jintian remembered this person had ordered many vegetables and meat.
“No, there aren’t. The restaurant serves only the hotpot soup rather than the vegetables.” Ling Hong nodded.
“And do people go there for meals?” Qian Jintian asked.
“It’s more exaggerated than that. If you don’t line up early, there’ll be no vacant seats for you.” Ling Hong told him frankly.
“Is there really a restaurant who don’t provide side ingredients?” When Qian Jintian found Ling Hong didn’t seem to be lying, he kept silent for a while and then asked in surprise.
“Why should a hotpot restaurant provide the side ingredients?” Ling Hong looked at Qian Jintian with a puzzled look.
“…” Qian Jintian lowered his head and remained silent, especially when he saw the expressions of Yuan Zhou and Master Cheng.
However, he felt rather speechless in the heart.
“These damn city folks must be crazy. If a hotpot restaurant doesn’t provide side ingredients, does it sell only the soup?” Qian Jintian couldn’t help ridiculing in the heart.
Of course, another idea popped up in his mind at once
“Since the hotpot restaurants in the city no longer provide side ingredients and still have so many people lining up to eat, why shouldn’t I raise the price?” While pulling the radishes out, Qian Jintian thought about the feasibility of this idea carefully.
