Chapter 178: We'll give you % more. No! We want % more!
"This taste is obviously unusual, I don't think it's necessarily true!"

"Chef Xu, are you feeling outdone by your customers and afraid of losing face?"

Chen Yaozu had his own little plan in mind, and he didn't mind watching the fun.

"Yaozu, if you say that, then I will be unhappy!"

"Young man, do you have the confidence to compete with me?"

Chef Xu looks like someone who can't stand provocation.

Chen Hui smiled and waved his hands: "I don't have confidence, I don't dare to compare. This is really not difficult. As long as the ingredients are sufficient and the oil is used, it will taste good."

"Look, that's what they said themselves," said Chef Li, the oldest chef.

"My nephew is very sensible. I am saving face for you."

"The signature chef of the state-owned restaurant was outdone by a young guy who barely even goes into the kitchen. How embarrassed you would be if you spread this out to others?" Chen Yaozu added another element of strength.

Chef Xu was so angry that he was about to jump up and down.

Without caring that he hadn’t had lunch yet, he immediately took out a pomfret of similar size and started to process it.

"I'll help you!" Chef Li said as he walked over.

"Let's go, let's go back and eat."

"By the time we finish eating, they will probably be ready too." Having achieved his goal, Chen Yaozu patted Chen Hui on the shoulder and said.

Most of the people eating in the outer hall have left.

The door of the private room was open, and the voices of several people talking excitedly could be heard.

"My luck this month is really good. It's equivalent to three months at sea before." Wu Shuisheng's voice sounded very happy.

"Yeah, it would be nice if I could always have this luck."

"My son is dating a girl in town. Her family wants a dowry and also requires the purchase of three swirls and a ring."

“If I could always have this luck, the pressure wouldn’t be that great. I could just save some money myself and my brothers and relatives could chip in.” Wu Guang said cheerfully.

"That three-knife fish last time, wow, if it could be one pound heavier, the price would double." Wei Jianjun sighed.

"Does it mean I'm lucky?"

The atmosphere was very good and Wu Dahua also boldly started to make jokes.

After all, Wu Shun basically did not go out to sea with everyone this month. It was Wu Dahua who went there.

"Three knives? When did you get the three knives?"

Chen Yaozu quickened his pace and walked into the room, waiting for Chen Hui to come in and then closed the door of the private room.

"Just last week, we made three knives twice this month. In the past six months, we didn't even get once. Hahaha." Wu Guang laughed heartily.

"How much are the three knives? How much do they sell for at the purchasing point?" Chen Yaozu sat down in his seat and asked with interest.

"Chen Hui caught a red snapper before and sold it in the county town for several more dollars."

"We learned our lesson this time. We asked around in the village, town, and county, and finally sold it for about thirty yuan."

Wu Shuisheng looked at Chen Hui, and there was actually a hint of taking credit in his eyes.

"How big are the three swords?" Chen Yaozu asked.

"One pound and eight pounds!" said Wu Guang.

"Fellow villager, if you have fish like this in the future, send them to me and I will give you 20% more for the price."

"It has to be alive. It's worthless if it's dead." Chen Yaozu said.

Chen Hui observed him. Chen Yaozu leaned forward with a burning look in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was very interested in this topic.

Apart from special treatments, state-owned restaurants do not seem to be able to consume large quantities of such expensive marine fish.

Chen Yaozu knew many more people in the county than he did.

He should have quite a few clients like Huang Xiu Lian. Chen Yaozu sold rare fish at high prices and resold them, making a profit from the difference.

If you are lucky, you may earn more than the hard-working fishermen who go out to sea.

"Uncle Yaozu, how about a 50% increase?" Chen Hui asked tentatively.

When Wu Shuisheng and his companions heard that they could earn 20% more, they were delighted and were about to agree.

When Wu Shuisheng heard Chen Hui asking for a 50% increase, his face changed and he was ready to say that he was ignorant.

Then Chen Yaozu said, "Chen Hui, are you really my nephew? You dare to say that."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Hui knew that there was something fishy about this matter, and he said with a smile: "Two percent is too ugly to hear. People who go out to sea cannot stand hearing two and two, right?"

After saying that, Chen Hui gave a look to Wu Guang, who was the smartest among them.

"Ah! Yes, yes, yes!" Wu Guang immediately agreed.

Chen Yaozu smiled and glared at Chen Hui, saying, "So, 30%? That's the most. If it's higher, the restaurant won't make any money and won't be able to accept it."

"Thank you, Uncle Yaozu, you are my uncle." Chen Hui smiled.

Decades of inertia in doing business made him subconsciously ready to pick up the glass to toast.

I reached out to nothing, only to find that there was no wine glass on the table.

"Want a bite, huh?"

"It's a good day today, I'll treat everyone to a drink." Chen Yaozu said, and got up to go outside to get some wine.

As soon as he walked out of the private room, several people surrounded Chen Hui and started discussing something.

"Chen Hui, your relative just told us to sell the valuable fish to him. He will pay three times more than the purchasing point in the county, right?" Wu Guang asked impatiently.

"What do you mean three times? Are you trying to rob me? Thirty percent!" Wu Shuisheng complained.

"Oh! Thirty percent, thirty percent. You're just being impatient." Wu Guang shook his hands at him to hide his embarrassment.

No wonder Wu Guang was excited.

For the last three dollars, if it was 30% more, I could get about ten dollars more.

This is the price of half a box of ordinary sea fish.

"Yes, 30%!"

"I'll ask later whether we should send it to him directly or leave a phone number and call him first."

"But he has to be alive, you have to remember this." Chen Hui emphasized the key point again.

"Remember, remember!"

"Thank you, Chen Hui! You are such a lucky child!" Wei Jianjun said with a smile.

"Speaking of making money, Chen Hui has only started going out to sea with us this month, right?" Wu Guang said.

"It started late last month."

"However, why do I feel that every time Chen Hui goes with us, the harvest is particularly good?" Wu Shuisheng also echoed.

"Yes, yes, yes. Last time Chen Hui and Wen Jing were together, we not only caught three knives but also lobsters."

"Even the catch of fish is several baskets more than usual." Wei Jianjun also said.

"They say that newly married people are very happy. It seems to be true." Wu Guang clapped his hands and said happily.

Wu Dahai didn't say anything, but just smiled and watched the uncles and aunts chatting with Chen Hui.

He was very happy that he could sell the fish for more money, but he always felt a little uncomfortable inside.

It was obviously me who came first.

Whether it was going out to sea together or setting up a wealth-attracting persona, it was obviously me who came first.

Fortunately, Wu Dahai is very simple-minded and only interprets this gap as envy of Chen Hui.

I ate two mouthfuls of the food silently, and sighed deeply in my heart: It's so delicious! I wish I could come here every day.
