Ultimately, Tang Xiaofei, representing Hundred Herbs House pharmacy, negotiated with Wang Xiaoqiang, agreeing to purchase fifty thousand jin of yams at thirty yuan per jin, and Tang Xiaofei promised to immediately contact the managers of the Hundred Herbs House pharmacies in the surrounding areas of Huagui County to help Wang Xiaoqiang sell his yams.

Wang Xiaoqiang unloaded two hundred jin of yams from his small truck as a gift for the Tang Family, and took the rest to the Hundred Herbs House pharmacy. He then found a larger truck to transport the fifty thousand jin of yams from the Old Village Committee Courtyard to the various Hundred Herbs House pharmacies within the jurisdiction of Huagui County.

Once all the goods were delivered, Tang Xiaofei paid Wang Xiaoqiang for the goods, a total of one hundred and fifty million yuan, and during this time, she also managed to secure business for Wang Xiaoqiang with five other county branches of Hundred Herbs House, negotiating the same price to each purchase fifty thousand jin of yams from Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang hired trucks to deliver the yams to the major pharmacies in the five counties and quickly received the payments, which together with the previous county, amounted to a total of nine million yuan.

Before planting yams, Wang Xiaoqiang wouldn't have believed that forty mu of yam fields could bring in nine million yuan, and this was just over half of the yam yield. Wang Xiaoqiang planned to send the remaining one hundred thousand jin to some old customers in the Provincial Capital.

That day, Wang Xiaoqiang drove a truck full of yams to the Provincial Capital and first visited the Dihao Hotel Grand Hotel.

The security guards at Dihao Hotel Grand Hotel were already familiar with Wang Xiaoqiang, and not only did they not stop him, but they also greeted him quite politely.

Wang Xiaoqiang drove to the side door of the kitchen, and as soon as the kitchen staff saw it was Wang Xiaoqiang, they hurried to call Wang Dakui. Hearing that Wang Xiaoqiang had arrived, Wang Dakui immediately dropped what he was doing and ran out to greet him.

Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't visited Dihao Hotel Grand Hotel since after the Chinese New Year, and seeing him again made Wang Dakui seem very happy. He now truly regarded Wang Xiaoqiang as a friend rather than just a business associate.

In his excitement, Wang Dakui shook Wang Xiaoqiang's hand vigorously and instinctively went to slap him on the shoulder, but as his large hand was halfway there, he suddenly realized the danger and gently lightened his touch, patting Wang Xiaoqiang's shoulder lightly, "Little Qiang, you're really not being nice.

You promised over the phone during the New Year to come over so we could sit down and have a drink together, but you waited until half the year passed before showing up. You must eat here today. Later, I'll cook a few dishes myself..."

Although Wang Dakui was a chef, a chef of his caliber seldom cooked personally anymore. The few people who could enjoy dishes cooked by Wang Dakui himself were mostly just his own family, not many others.

Wang Xiaoqiang took the opportunity to point to the yams on the small truck and said, "When cooking, use my yams, and let's see how they taste..."

"Eh... yams..." Wang Dakui's gaze turned to the yams on the small truck, and his eyes lit up when he saw the thick and long yams. He immediately let go of Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, took a yam from the truck, and examined it carefully, nodding as he looked, "Hmm, these yams are good, they must be the Jade Bamboo Yam specialty from Huagui County. Little Qiang, where did you get these yams from?"

"I grew them myself, and I still have one hundred thousand jin at home!" Wang Xiaoqiang said casually.

"Oh, you planted so much? Then send some over to me. But I won't need much..." Wang Dakui was straightforward but not naive; hearing that Wang Xiaoqiang had one hundred thousand jin of yams, he knew Wang Xiaoqiang was there to sell them.

"No rush. Let's taste them first... If the taste is good, you'll want some, but if it's not up to par, I won't sell them to you even if you want them..."

Wang Xiaoqiang's words resonated with Wang Dakui's heart. To tell the truth, he was exactly that kind of blunt man. He was always straightforward about sourcing his ingredients, never minding the person behind the product. If the ingredients were good, he would happily purchase them and at a high price; if they were not adequate, he wouldn't even take them for free.

His above statement was simply a courtesy for Wang Xiaoqiang, considering that Wang Xiaoqiang's eggs had been very well-received by customers, which is something he would never directly ask another supplier.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang put it that way, he nodded and said, "Alright, we'll use these yams as ingredients for a few dishes at lunch today and give them a try..."

With that, Wang Dakui led Wang Xiaoqiang into his office to rest. Wang Dakui's office, although not large and somewhat cluttered, was quite clean, and it had a set of sofas and a coffee table for guests.

Lobby Manager Xia Mi caught a glimpse of Wang Xiaoqiang by chance and personally brought over two bottles of juice and two boxes of Yunyan cigarettes as a courtesy.

Tall and curvy, her figure was wrapped in a professional skirt, looking dignified yet sexy, especially those legs beneath the skirt, stepping sideways, swaying her waist and exuding infinite charm.

"Boss Wang, you really are a rare visitor…" Xia Mi's voice was somewhat coquettish.

"Uh, Manager Xia, you are being too polite, I really can't take that," Wang Xiaoqiang said when he saw Xia Mi bring something over. He politely gestured towards the sofa in front of him, signaling her to sit and chat.

"Boss Wang doesn't need to be so polite with me, to know each other is fate, from now on we're friends, so stop calling me Manager Xia, just call me Little Mi…" Xia Mi said, and without intending to sit on the sofa in front of Wang Xiaoqiang, she went ahead and sat down right next to him.

Wang Xiaoqiang could only feel a wave of fragrance pressing down on him, the strong scent of perfume causing him to pause slightly, "Okay, okay, then I'll call you Xia Mi, and you stop calling me Boss Wang, just call me Little Qiang!"

"Hey!" Xia Mi agreed cheerfully...

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang turn his head away awkwardly, Xia Mi gave a meaningful smile, stood up, and said, "Ahem, that… Little Qiang, you sit and rest, I've got to get busy!"

"Go ahead, I wouldn't dare hold up your work," Wang Xiaoqiang said straightforwardly.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang speak like this, a hint of disappointment flickered in Xia Mi's eyes. She stood up and left, swaying her hips as she walked out.

They say modern society is full of women digging for gold, but it's actually understandable. Finding a rich man means not having to slave away nine to five every day anymore. Take Xia Mi for example, her job might look respectable but the pay isn't particularly high, and it's extremely demanding both mentally and physically—it directly affects her prospects of settling down for good.

As a hotel lobby manager, getting married or celebrating a birthday could cost her the job because marriage means going on a honeymoon, and after getting married, one has to think about having kids. Unless you forgo both the honeymoon and having children, that extended leave for the honeymoon is unattainable, and working with a visible baby bump is unacceptable to the hotel.

Xia Mi was also a leftover woman of a certain age who was now looking for a wealthy husband so she could resign from her job and become a relaxed housewife. Ever since she knew about Wang Xiaoqiang's income, she intended to hook him, but seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang wasn't biting and with Xu Qingxue in the way, Xia Mi dared not be too overt.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't pay much attention to Xia Mi's attentive behavior, attributing it merely to his relationship with Xu Qingxue.

Wang Dakui made several dishes with Wang Xiaoqiang's yams: stir-fried yams with wood ear mushrooms, sautéed meat slices with yams and shiitake mushrooms, sweet and sour yams, yam and rib soup, as well as a yam and lily bulb soup with coconut milk...

A large table full of dishes, with half made from Wang Xiaoqiang's yams. Wang Dakui prepared the feast to entertain Wang Xiaoqiang, and personally kept him company, even inviting two other veteran chefs to taste the dishes. In the end, everyone couldn't stop praising the dishes made with Wang Xiaoqiang's yams.

"The texture is excellent!"

"Good, really good!"

"Alright, I'll take this yam…" Wang Dakui called over the two experienced older chefs to sample the food, partly to hear their opinions, and partly to avoid the accusation of acting unilaterally, even though he was the head chef and had the final say in Dihao Hotel's kitchen. But certain matters still needed to be discussed with everyone.

Seeing the older chefs also praising the dishes, Wang Dakui immediately gave his approval.

Today's update is rather early, isn't it? Do we have any recommendation tickets? If there's a reward, that would be even better, haha, but only if you can spare it...
