Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 72 Entering the Shanghai Market
Chen Lan glanced at Zhao Lei anxiously, seeing that he still had a slight smile on his face, and he didn't look angry at all, so she felt relieved and nodded obediently, "Okay!"

So Zhao Lei went out with Chen Lan and walked to her house together.It was very late now, and there was no one else on the road at all.Chen Lan bravely took Zhao Lei's arm, and walked home with him side by side, feeling as sweet as her heart was soaked in honey.

Seeing the happy smile on Chen Lan's face, Zhao Lei also felt better.The two came to Chen Lan's house talking and laughing along the way, and stopped at the door of her house.

"That... I'll go back first." Zhao Lei told Chen Lan in a low voice: "Remember to close the door and pay attention to safety."

Chen Lan nodded obediently, then suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed her passionately.

"Hmm..." Zhao Lei was taken aback at first, but he quickly realized that he hugged Chen Lan tightly, their lips and tongues intertwined, immersed in each other's tenderness.

I don't know how long it took, but the two finally separated reluctantly.Chen Lan's chest was still heaving violently, her beautiful Danfeng's eyes were watery, and the seductive spring in her eyes was almost overflowing.

The pretty widow gave Zhao Lei a shy look, as if she was blaming him for being too domineering just now, she lowered her head and whispered: "You should go back early, you have to go to work tomorrow."

Zhao Lei nodded, gave Chen Lan a gentle hug, turned around and strode back.

Chen Lan stood at the door for a long time, until she could no longer see Zhao Lei's back, and then entered the house with a happy smile.

Although Chen Lan almost agreed to Zhao Lei that night, she deliberately avoided Zhao Lei in the next few days.What the pretty widow did was not regretting it, it was just out of embarrassment.

Zhao Lei also knew the truth that haste makes waste, and he didn't push Chen Lan too much, just let everything take its course.

And as more restaurants began to serve emerald vegetables, more and more diners tasted this food that Jiang Zili highly praised.

Everyone's reaction was the same as Jiang Zili's, they all praised the emerald vegetable, which in turn made the food's reputation even louder.Many diners would directly ask if there are any emerald vegetables when they entered the restaurant.

As a result, those restaurants in the city that did not serve emerald vegetables all felt a lot of pressure.I got Zhao Lei's contact information through various channels, and they all expressed their desire to buy jadeite vegetables from him.

This trend has even affected Shanghai. Even Yang Han, the Purchasing Director of Peace Hotel, one of the most famous restaurants in Shanghai, called Zhao Lei, asking him to supply emerald vegetables.

Speaking of Peace Hotel, it is very famous. It is an old hotel with a history of nearly a hundred years. Many famous foreigners come to Shanghai and are willing to stay in this historic hotel.If even the Peace Hotel starts to supply emerald vegetables, it will not only further enhance the reputation of emerald vegetables in China, but also make this vegetable famous in the world.

So although the supply of emerald vegetables is very tight right now, Zhao Lei decided to squeeze some out to supply to the Peace Hotel, so he said to Yang Han with a smile, "Thanks to the Peace Hotel for trusting us, I am willing to supply you."

Yang Han had also inquired about it before, and knew that jadeite vegetables were in short supply. Many of the best local restaurants in Xinwu City could only get one or two hundred catties of jadeite vegetables every week.So he just made a phone call to ask, and he didn't hold out much hope.

Hearing that Zhao Lei was willing to supply, Yang Han couldn't help being overjoyed and said, "That's really great. May I ask how much emerald vegetables Mr. Zhao can supply us?"

Zhao Lei muttered, "Two hundred catties every three days."

Yang Han tentatively asked: "Is this... the quantity a little less?"

Zhao Lei smiled wryly and said, "Don't look at just such a small amount of vegetables. I have to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall and save it. To tell you the truth, Director Yang, although I grow the emerald vegetables myself, I can't even eat them now. It’s all delivered to customers.”

Amused by Zhao Lei's words, Yang Han was embarrassed to ask for more, and immediately nodded and said: "Then it's settled, thank you so much."

The next day, Zhao Lei went to Shanghai with Zhou Jun. In addition to signing a supply agreement with Yang Han, he also delivered the first batch of emerald vegetables.

The chefs who can work in the Garden Hotel are naturally the best in this field, and they are all well-informed masters.However, when they saw the emerald vegetables with their own eyes, they were all very surprised, saying that they had never seen such a good quality vegetable.

The chef of the Garden Hotel is called Li Jiaxian. He is a red-faced old man. He is in his 50s and he is still full of energy. He nodded and said loudly: "Jiang Zili has a bad mouth, but he has a good eye. Yes. The evaluation of Jade Vegetables is very pertinent, yes, really very good!"

Zhao Lei didn't know whether Li Jiaxian was talking about Jiang Zili's good vision, or the quality of jadeite vegetables. Anyway, as long as the customer is satisfied, it is the best news for him.Now that there is nothing else going on at the Peace Hotel, Zhao Lei is ready to say goodbye and leave.

However, just as Zhao Lei was about to leave, Li Jiaxian stopped him suddenly: "Mr. Zhao, right? It's really promising to grow such good vegetables at such a young age. But the output of emerald vegetables is too small, which will seriously restrict Your future development. If possible, expand production as soon as possible. The quality of emerald vegetables is so good, no matter how much you have, no one will want it.”

Knowing that Li Jiaxian said this for his own sake, Zhao Lei sincerely thanked him before leaving the Peace Hotel.

On the way home, Zhao Lei kept thinking about this issue.The popularity of emerald vegetables was far beyond his expectations. As Li Jiaxian said, it is indeed necessary to expand production as soon as possible.Only in this way can we occupy a broader market and earn more profits. On the one hand, we can enjoy life, and on the other hand, we can buy more jade stones for Zijin Gourd to evolve.

However, expanding production requires more land, so we have to deal with the village chief Wang Chenggang.Thinking of Wang Chenggang's greedy appearance, Zhao Lei felt a little uncomfortable, and didn't want to give his hard-earned money to that kind of guy.

Zhou Jun glanced at Zhao Lei, and asked while driving: "Now that your business is getting bigger and bigger, why do you still have a sad face? I'm miserable, and I have to help the old man farm the land when I go home. What a fate!" "

Zhao Lei laughed and said, "Why, you don't want to farm?"

Zhou Jun took it for granted, "How many young people are willing to do this now! If you didn't have emerald vegetables, you wouldn't be willing to nest in the village to farm the land, would you?"

Zhou Jun's words gave Zhao Lei a flash of inspiration, and he thought of a way to expand the scale.
