Chapter 96

Wang Dakuai is a rough and bold person, and when he gets excited, he can't help but show it. However, his right hand, which has been holding a wok for over twenty years, is incredibly strong. Even a light tap can be unbearable, let alone the vigorous pat he gave Wang Xiaoqiang's shoulder. The Five Elements Spirit Spring in Wang Xiaoqiang's body naturally rose to protect its master under such force.

Although Wang Dakuai's calloused hands were thick, they couldn't withstand the devouring power of Metal Qi. Moreover, this time, two Five Elements Spirit Springs were releasing Metal Qi together, doubling the power. His right hand now felt a mix of soreness, swelling, pain, and numbness, which was very uncomfortable.

"Chef Wang, are you okay?" Wang Xiaoqiang was also a bit worried about him. This was the first time he had seen the power of the two Five Elements Spirit Springs, and he had no way to gauge the extent of the damage. Chef Wang's job was a skilled one, and it would be terrible if his hand was injured!

"Uh, no, no, I'm fine!" Wang Dakuai shook his head to indicate he was fine. At this moment, he looked at Wang Xiaoqiang with a surprised and doubtful gaze. "Xiaoqiang, have you practiced before?"

Everyone in the kitchen had seen what just happened, and they were all looking at Wang Xiaoqiang with the same surprised and doubtful eyes. Wang Xiaoqiang naturally didn't dare to deny it and smiled modestly. "A little bit."

"What kind of kung fu is so powerful?" Wang Dakuai asked curiously while rubbing his hand.

"Hard Qi Gong!" Wang Xiaoqiang replied casually.

"No wonder!" Wang Dakuai said, suddenly understanding.

"Chef Wang, how does the egg taste?" Wang Xiaoqiang didn't want to delve into this topic and quickly changed the subject.

"Very good, really very good, better than any egg I've ever had." Wang Dakuai is a straightforward person; he speaks his mind. His words were sincere.

"Of course," Wang Xiaoqiang said confidently. "You probably won't believe me, but the first batch of wild mountain chickens in my farm were all caught by me from the mountains. Moreover, my chicken farm is built on the mountain, and the wild mountain chickens are free-range, almost without any feed..."

"No wonder." Wang Dakuai said. "But, Xiaoqiang, are wild mountain chickens easy to catch?"

"Wild mountain chickens are not easy to catch, but for me, it's a piece of cake!" Wang Xiaoqiang said casually.

"Uh, that's right, you're a kung fu expert!" Wang Dakuai nodded in agreement. The others didn't doubt it either, because Wang Xiaoqiang's "kung fu" was evident. His not-so-robust body could withstand a heavy pat from Chef Wang and even counter it.

"Actually, today I'm not just delivering to you. I have a few more hotels to visit," Wang Xiaoqiang said casually. "So, Chef Wang, if you think it's good, I'll unload a batch here..."

"These eggs are good. Unload a batch. As for the price, we usually buy mountain eggs for eight yuan each. I'll give you ten yuan each. How does that sound?" Chef Wang said in a consultative tone.

"Fine." Wang Xiaoqiang nodded. This price was twice what he sold them for in the county, which made him very satisfied. "How many do you want?"

"How many do you have?"

"More than four thousand."

"I'll take them all!" Chef Wang said generously, waving his hand. "In the future, bring me five thousand eggs every week."

The business at the Dihao Grand Hotel is very good, and they need thousands of eggs every day. By having Wang Xiaoqiang deliver five thousand eggs every week, he clearly intended to cut off other suppliers and establish a long-term cooperation with Wang Xiaoqiang.

"That's no problem. I'll deliver on time every week," Wang Xiaoqiang said. "But this time, I can't unload all four thousand eggs. I have a few more hotels to visit."

"No problem, Xiaoqiang, unload them all here. It's not worth the trouble to split such a small number of eggs, and it would waste your fuel." Wang Dakuai, perhaps used to this gesture, patted Wang Xiaoqiang's shoulder lightly this time, having learned from the previous lesson. "Deliver to them tomorrow."

"That's not a good idea..." Wang Xiaoqiang hesitated.

"Really, it's no problem. In the provincial capital, I know almost all the chefs in high-end hotels, and a few are even my apprentices. In the future, when you deliver eggs to them, just mention my name, and they'll accept them. If they refuse, bring them all to me." Wang Dakuai patted his chest to guarantee.

"Alright!" Wang Xiaoqiang realized today that as long as the quality of the eggs was good, there was no need to worry about sales. Moreover, with Wang Dakuai's guarantee, he wouldn't have to trouble Xu Qingsnow to run back and forth.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang agree, Wang Dakuai immediately instructed two kitchen staff to unload the eggs.

Although Wang Dakuai was a bit arrogant and initially looked down on Wang Xiaoqiang, Wang Xiaoqiang actually liked this kind of person.

Throughout the entire process, Wang Xiaoqiang never tried to flatter Wang Dakuai, not even offering him a cigarette, the most basic courtesy. However, because of the high quality of Wang Xiaoqiang's eggs, Wang Dakuai was willing to pay a higher price and buy all of them, establishing a long-term cooperation.

This showed that he was not only honest but also dedicated to his job and responsible to his employer!

After the transaction, Wang Xiaoqiang, with over 40,000 yuan in his pocket, happily walked out and found that Xia Mi was still accompanying Xu Qingsnow outside the kitchen.

Although Xia Mi had invited Xu Qingsnow to sit in the hotel lobby several times, she had always refused. At this moment, Xia Mi realized that the relationship between Xu Qingsnow and Wang Xiaoqiang was not just about business. Otherwise, as a deputy district public security bureau chief, she wouldn't have stood outside the kitchen for nearly half an hour for a small farmer.

Realizing this, Xia Mi became increasingly anxious, fearing that Wang Xiaoqiang's eggs wouldn't pass Wang Dakuai's test, and how she would face Xu Qingsnow. Fortunately, Wang Dakuai liked Wang Xiaoqiang's eggs and established a long-term cooperation, which put Xia Mi's mind at ease and made her feel relieved.

"Manager Xia, thank you. I really appreciate your help today. I must have delayed your work, right?" Wang Xiaoqiang said apologetically to Xia Mi.

"No, no, no, not at all." Xia Mi immediately waved her hands and shook her head. "And Mr. Wang, it's because your eggs are of high quality. Otherwise, I couldn't have helped much!"

"Xiaomi, I should thank you," Xu Qingsnow said, holding Xia Mi's hand. "It's almost noon. Let's have lunch at Dihao, and I'll treat you and Xiaoqiang."

Xia Mi was taken aback by these words. Xu Qingsnow no longer called Wang Xiaoqiang "Mr. Wang" but addressed him by his name, even omitting his surname. Given her character, she never addressed men so informally unless they were very, very close.

Moreover, since Xu Qingsnow had helped Wang Xiaoqiang, it should have been Wang Xiaoqiang who treated them. However, now Xu Qingsnow was offering to treat them. Xia Mi didn't dare to let a deputy chief pay for a small matter and immediately insisted, "Here, I'm the host. If anyone should treat, it should be me..."

"I'll treat you. Both of you helped me today. How can I let you treat me?" Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"That's not right," Xu Qingsnow immediately waved her hand. "You've come to the provincial capital with great effort. How can I let you treat us..."

Hearing this, Xia Mi was even more surprised. Xu Qingsnow clearly didn't consider Wang Xiaoqiang an outsider. She wondered if Wang Xiaoqiang was a relative of the Xu family, but she hadn't heard of such a relative.

"Alright, let's not argue," Xia Mi said, spreading her hands. "It's just a meal. Arguing like this doesn't look good. If you still consider me a classmate, let me treat you."

"Alright." Xu Qingsnow shrugged at Wang Xiaoqiang. "Let's not argue with her. I don't want to lose this old classmate."

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't say anything more. Being treated to a meal was better than treating others. At the very least, it would save him some money. A meal at this hotel would cost a few thousand yuan.

Wang Xiaoqiang was right. That noon, when they sat in a private room at the Dihao Grand Hotel and saw the table full of delicacies and two bottles of foreign wine, even someone as inexperienced as Wang Xiaoqiang could tell that the meal would cost three to four thousand yuan.

To return everyone's kindness, I'll add an extra chapter in the early morning. Please look forward to it, dear villagers and dear friends. When reading, please remember to bookmark the book...
