Chapter 87: The Benevolent Deception
Manager Liu had no choice but to call Boss Qi. Little did he know that Boss Qi didn't have any stock available temporarily either, and in the afternoon, more customers came looking for tomatoes.
After waiting for two days, Manager Liu was pressured by these customers to the point where even the boss was alarmed. He drove to find Boss Qi, treated him to a meal, and only then did the stock get replenished.
The source of goods for Boss Qi had never been very stable; the quantity brought in each time was never enough, and fights almost broke out over the available stock.
The manager's boss was also very interested in the new product this time because the supermarket's popularity had increased significantly, and customer traffic had surged.
Every time before sales even began, Boss Qi would run out of stock, rendering even prepayments useless. Unable to cope, the boss sent Manager Liu to try his luck.
Unexpectedly, just after arriving in town for breakfast today, he saw this delivery guy, and at a glance, he could tell that this was the source he had been diligently searching for.
Manager Liu's current mood was very excited, and he spoke with a hint of enthusiasm, "Boss Yang, I've checked the goods, and there's no problem with the quality. About the price..."
Yang Feng considered for a moment, "Manager Liu, I supply to Boss Qi at 8.8, and since I haven't cooperated with the supermarket yet, I don't know your volume. Restaurants pay 9.1 per kilogram."
"Boss Yang, we need about 500 kilograms per day. Can the price be the same as with Boss Qi?"
Yang Feng thought for a moment, "Well, that quantity is not a problem. I operate on a cash-on-delivery basis; you'll need to pay a deposit in advance. Is that clear?"
Manager Liu patted his chest, "You can rest assured about that. If we need goods the next day, our finance department will transfer the payment to you the night before."
Yang Feng was reassured by this. Now, whether it was the small kitchen before or anyone else, everyone settled payments on the same day. Moreover, he was in urgent need of money now and didn't need to front capital for others.
They discussed some more details with Manager Liu, and everything was satisfactory, sealing the deal!
"Boss Yang, can we expect regular supply starting from tomorrow?"
Yang Feng grinned, "Rest assured, as soon as the truck arrives tomorrow, we'll deliver on time."
After exchanging pleasantries with Manager Liu, he drove back.
After Manager Liu left, Xia Tian ran to Yang Feng, giving him a thumbs up, "Brother Feng, impressive! This deal could be negotiated without even leaving the house."
Being praised by Xia Tian, Yang Feng did feel a bit pleased. He hadn't expected that the vegetables he grew would attract even urban bosses.
Yang Feng patted Xia Tian's shoulder, "Follow me in the future, and I'll find you a blonde, blue-eyed wife."
This kid watches foreign girls on TikTok every day, he's really into that.
Xia Ying walked in with a bamboo basket and saw Yang Feng and Xia Tian getting along intimately, laughing in such a lecherous manner.
"What are you guys talking about?"
"Oh, Brother Feng said he's going to find me a wife." Xia Tian, without hesitation, sold Yang Feng out, and at such a low price.
Xia Ying stared at Yang Feng with a gaze that seemed anything but normal, feeling like she was involved in some kind of pyramid scheme.
Yang Feng rolled his eyes, "Did I really say that? Think again."
After a moment of thought, Xia Tian changed the subject, "It seems like it wasn't exactly like that."
"That's right. See, I'm not that kind of person."
"Sis, Brother Feng said he's going to find me a blonde, blue-eyed girl."
...
Xia Ying seemed uninterested in these matters, "Yang Feng, I saw someone driving away just now. What were they here for?"
On the side, Xia Tian took over, "Sis, Brother Feng just negotiated a deal, a big boss from Shanghai."
"Yeah, just negotiated a deal with a chain supermarket. We'll start supplying them early tomorrow morning."
Liu Wan'er frowned, "No wonder I saw the license plate just now, and it didn't seem local."
"Sis, I haven't seen you around for such a long time. Where have you been?"
Xia Ying shook the notebook in her hand, "I just went to Wan'er's place to get some data."
Xia Tian sneered, "Sis, what's the use of looking at those things all day? You might as well get more sleep when you have the time."
Xia Ying ignored him and said to Yang Feng, "Yang Feng, Wan'er asked you to come over after you're done. I just saw Yang Meng and his father going to see her."
"Yeah, sure."
Yang Feng knew that these days Liu Wan'er must be looking for him. If the unconventional method wasn't clarified, she wouldn't let him off.
In the past few days, he had figured it out. He directly stated that it was sawdust ground into powder, mixed with water. Since it was an unconventional method without any scientific basis, he wasn't sure if it would work.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Seeing the door closed, he politely knocked on it.
"Come in." Liu Wan'er saw Yang Feng come in and pointed to a chair nearby, signaling him to sit down.
Liu Wan'er was on the phone, asking for help, mentioning something about a senior brother and a research institute.
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, Liu Wan'er hung up the phone, awkwardly smiled, "Sorry, kept you waiting, didn't I?"
Yang Feng's back was a bit sore from sitting, but he couldn't directly say that. "It's okay, didn't take too long."
Liu Wan'er poured a cup of tea for him, "Yang Meng and his father came over just now, crying and saying that the tomatoes at home can't hold up anymore. They have no choice but to seek external help."
"Ms. Liu, what's the matter with you asking me to come?"
"Well, about that, what exactly is your unconventional method? I don't have much to do these days, so I thought I might as well study it."
Yang Feng replied seriously, "It's just grinding sawdust into powder and then mixing it with water evenly."
Liu Wan'er listened attentively, and her pen kept moving.
But after writing one sentence, she waited for a long time with no sound from Yang Feng's side. "Is there anything else?"
Yang Feng shrugged, "That's it."
"No more?" Liu Wan'er's eyes widened like brass bells, a bit incredulous.
"Indeed, that's it. Unconventional methods are just a matter of a few sentences."
Liu Wan'er skeptically closed her notebook, put on her coat, and said, "Well, that's nothing urgent then. I'll go find some sawdust. You can continue with your work!"
Yang Feng didn't expect that his casual remark would prompt Liu Wan'er to actually verify it.
Aunt Hua was in high spirits these days, radiating joy wherever she went. She chatted with everyone she met, appearing completely carefree and returning to her previous status as the "number one reporter."
As she passed by the small shop, she saw a group of people tightly gathered together. There was only one willow tree here. Could there be something unusual happening? In such a lively scene, Aunt Hua couldn't possibly be absent. She walked up and cleared her throat, "What are you all doing?"
"Do you know how to cure the disease on your tomatoes, Aunt Hua?"
Aunt Hua smiled casually, "Of course, I know. It was little Feng who helped me cure it."
"Let me tell you, he used sawdust ground into powder and mixed with water to cure it."
