"Hello, hello, fine, I can call you Old Yu, right? What's the urgent matter for you calling me this time, Old Yu?" Ling Zhenfei forcibly suppressed his laughter and asked.
"Uh, the thing is, Bro Ling, I was wondering about that wild boar you hunted last time... do you still have any?"
Over the radio waves, Yu Deshui engaged in a drawn-out and polite exchange with Ling Zhenfei before finally getting to the point.
He was here for the wild boar meat! It seemed that the wild boar he sold to him last time was a hit in his restaurant, and now this Fatty was proactively calling to follow up on his order!
In fact, the moment he saw Yu Deshui's caller ID on his phone, Ling Zhenfei had already figured out Fatty's intention for calling him.
But, well... his farm was currently under development, and he was financially stable, so he didn't need to risk hunting wild boars anymore!
Moreover, he had already promised his sister-in-law that he wouldn't hunt wild boars anymore, and he dared not break that promise lightly.
"Wild boar... Hehe, I'm really sorry, Brother Yu, but I've stopped hunting now. Besides, those wild boars have all become cunning, and they're not easy to hunt!"
Amid Yu Deshui's anticipation, Ling Zhenfei maintained silence for a while before finally speaking in a deep voice.
"What, you've stopped hunting?" Upon hearing that Ling Zhenfei had stopped hunting, disappointment was clear in Yu Deshui's voice.
Yu Deshui hesitated and was about to hang up when Ling Zhenfei hurriedly said, "Don't hang up just yet, Old Yu. While I no longer supply wild boar meat, I can provide you with green, eco-friendly vegetables all year round, and I guarantee they are a hundred times tastier than the best veggies on the market!"
"Pfft, who are you kidding? A hundred times tastier? Only a fool would believe that!"
Yu Deshui was initially intrigued by the offer of green, eco-friendly vegetables, but once he heard the latter half of Ling Zhenfei's claim, he immediately scoffed as a sign of contempt for Ling Zhenfei's words.
"Hehe, my Fat Brother, if you don't believe me, I'll bring a batch over right now for you to see. If you find any falsehood in what I said, I'll supply you wild boar meat for free for one year. If you think they're good, we can sign a supply contract. What do you say?"
Ling Zhenfei had great confidence in the vegetables irrigated by the Xuantian Spirit Spring. His current goal was to find a capable catering enterprise as quickly as possible to promote the first batch of vegetables he had grown and to increase Xi Shan Farm's reputation.
Fatty's eco-friendly restaurant had some renown in the city and was obviously the most suitable customer for himself.
"That so... Heh heh, if that's the case, it doesn't look like I'd be losing out..."
Hearing Ling Zhenfei's words, Fatty hesitated for a while on the other end before he began to chuckle.
Ling Zhenfei didn't need to see him to guess his giddy, smug grin with his eyes squinted...
"Hehe, of course, how could I let you, Old Yu, be at a disadvantage? Alright, enough chit-chat, I'm going to bring a batch of vegetables right now for you to check out..."
Seeing that Fatty was somewhat interested, Ling Zhenfei quickly cut to the chase. Without waiting for Fatty's agreement, he hung up the phone and notified the farmhands to quickly load up the vegetables and prepared to deliver them personally to Fatty.
For the sake of convenient transport, Ling Zhenfei had already gone to the city to buy a new three-wheeled cart.
After all, buying a new three-wheeler was just a few thousand yuan; he couldn't always borrow Li Ermeng's old rickety one!
Ling Zhenfei drove into the city, and all along the way Fatty had called him countless times to urge him on, leaving Ling Zhenfei somewhat speechless.
It was only when he drove up to the location that he found Fatty already waiting anxiously at the door, looking around.
"Hey, Bro Ling, you finally made it? You really had me worried sick."
Seeing that Ling Zhenfei had arrived, Fatty immediately beamed with joy and went to greet him, patting Ling Zhenfei's shoulder with a grin.
"Hey, Bro, are these the veggies you claimed to be a hundred times tastier than ordinary vegetables? That remarkable? I don't believe it! No offense, but I think you'd better hurry up and go hunt some wild boars instead."
"Seriously, your wild boar meat does sell pretty well around here, you'd earn much more selling one wild boar than these vegetables…"
Fatty rambled on and on, while glancing at the vegetables loaded in Ling Zhenfei's vehicle with utter skepticism.
In his opinion, the wild boar meat was a verified hit at their restaurant. As for these vegetables... no matter how tasty they might be, could they really be more profitable than wild boar meat?
"Hehe, Fatty Brother, you talk too much. Whether these veggies are good or not, you'll know once you try them!"
Ling Zhenfei was somewhat annoyed by his blabbering and gave the chubby guy an exasperated look, urging him to proceed.
"Alright, since you insist, I'll just have to be the bad guy and shatter your dreams!"
Seeing that this young man Ling Zhenfei wouldn't take his "well-meaning advice," Fatty had no choice but to sigh in resignation and waved to the chef behind him, "Old Tang, pick a few vegetables and cook them. I want to taste them."
"Sure!" The chef understood and selected a few vegetables to take to the kitchen.
"Bro, it's inconvenient to talk in the middle of the street; let's go to the kitchen and see!" Fatty patted Ling Zhenfei's shoulder and together, they pushed the cart into the yard in front of the kitchen.
"I mean… Bro, you might as well not get your hopes up about these veggies. I am, after all, a true culinary expert...
What kind of fine dish haven't I tasted? If you think these vegetables will impress me, there's no chance... Hehe, you might as well prepare to provide me with free wild boar meat for a year!"
Although Fatty kept smiling at Ling Zhenfei with squinted eyes, deep down, he was sneakily plotting: as soon as the dishes were served, he would pretend they weren't delicious, regardless of the truth.
This way, he could guilt-trip Ling Zhenfei into giving him free wild boar meat for a year—a truly delightful prospect!
"Hehe, Fatty, I think it's too early for you to be talking like this. Let's wait until the dishes are served!"
Fatty's little scheming could never escape Ling Zhenfei's sharp eyes. Seeing the self-satisfied look on Fatty's face, Ling Zhenfei was inwardly sneering, yet his expression remained unchanged.
"Mmm, mmm, Bro, you're absolutely right. Maybe a screw is loose in my head, and I actually start to think the vegetables you grow are good…"
Fatty chuckled, his eyes squinting, and his plump cheeks trembling with each laugh, resembling a Buddha statue with a smile that concealed knives.
Just as Fatty was laughing smugly, suddenly a rich and unique fragrance wafted through the air, tantalizing everyone's nostrils—a truly memorable aroma.
"Sniff, sniff... Huh, what's that smell?"
Fatty was in the midst of his haughty speech when he caught a whiff of that scent, and instantly, like an addict seeing drugs, his eyes nearly turned green.
"This scent… it's like vegetables? Damn, what kind of vegetable is this? Just this aroma alone is appetite-stirring…"
Fatty sniffed the scent in the air voraciously, and as he followed the smell to the entrance of his own kitchen, he saw that the intense fragrance was actually coming from the dishes on Chef Tang's tray, and he was dumbfounded.
Could it be, these vegetables…
