Chapter 164: Good Stuff

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“They brought it,” the waiter said excitedly, pointing to the father and daughter.

The cook couldn’t believe it, looking at Jiang Xia’s bamboo basket with suspicion.

Upon looking, he was startled.

Wild rabbits! These were indeed good stuff!

The chubby master chef, whose surname was Jiang, had been working in the restaurant for a while. Since their restaurant had no specialty dishes, and its location wasn’t ideal, the earnings were never good.

Without profits, their restaurant couldn’t afford pork. Chef Jiang had been worried about this for a long time.

However, seeing the two wild rabbits in front of him, he was shocked for a moment. He then quickly regained his composure, scrutinizing Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia.

He cautiously asked the father and daughter, “How much for these two rabbits?”

Having had a setback at the cotton spinning factory, Jiang Chuan had learned his lesson. Seeing that the initiative was now in his hands, he said decisively to Chef Jiang, “We were planning to keep these wild rabbits for ourselves. But times are hard at home. Let’s do it this way, I’ll give you these two rabbits for six yuan.”

Jiang Chuan was actually under-quoting, fearing that if he asked for more, the chef might back out.

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan’s price, Chef Jiang rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

He must have made a deal like this before; otherwise, how could he quote the price of the wild rabbits so perfectly?

If selling to an individual, such fat rabbits would cost more than three yuan each. If sold to a contractor, they would definitely bargain. Fortunately, their restaurant was in need of meat. This price was neither too high nor too low, so they could accept it.

“How about this, you give me these wild vegetables too, and I’ll give you eight yuan, is that okay?” Chef Jiang asked, pointing to the wild vegetables that Jiang Xia had collected while catching the rabbits, filling almost half the basket.

Jiang Xia glanced at Jiang Chuan. She was quite satisfied with the price, but Jiang Chuan seemed dissatisfied and remained silent.

Seeing that the adult didn’t respond, Chef Jiang hesitated for a moment, then added, “How about this, I still give you eight yuan, and also give you two catties of salt. I can’t give more.”

At this time, everyone was saving money for food, and salt was something they ate less of if they could. A bag of salt could last a long time.

Since it was hard to buy, the restaurant’s salt was probably rationed and occasionally they had a surplus. This must be left to the chef to handle, otherwise, he might not be so quick to offer it.

Before Jiang Chuan could respond, Chef Jiang had already taken out the salt and money. This was a full show of sincerity, and it would be impolite if Jiang Chuan refused.

Jiang Chuan realized that the chef wanted to do business with them again in the future; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so eager.

After the trade was completed, Chef Jiang even gave Jiang Xia two large buns with vegetable fillings.

Business was business, and personal relationships were personal. It was clear that this chef was quite adept at maintaining these relationships.

The father and daughter, carrying two catties of salt and eight yuan, happily left the restaurant and headed for the shopping mall.

They now had cloth and didn’t have to worry about salt, they just needed to buy some thread.

The thread didn’t need a ticket, you just paid with money.

The father and daughter initially spent thirty cents on a ball of black thread. Feeling that it might not be enough, they decided to buy another one. They would let Zhou Lan use it as much as she wanted without fear of running out.

After buying what they needed, Jiang Xia was ready to leave, but the tempting array of food in the store caught her eye.

The food here didn’t have any additives, and the taste would be very different from the snacks in the future.

With that thought, Jiang Xia was tempted.

They had spent one catty of food ticket on lunch, and they still had two catties left, enough to buy some snacks.

“Dad, shall we buy some food to take home?”

“Sure, your mother and sister haven’t tried these before, let’s bring some back for them to taste.”

Since her father had agreed, Jiang Xia didn’t hesitate. She confidently walked to the pastry counter and began to choose.

After spending sixty cents on thread, they still had seven yuan and forty cents left. So, Jiang Xia didn’t hold back, planning to buy a lot and eat to her heart’s content.

“This one, this one, and that one, I want them all,” Jiang Xia pointed at a few biscuit-like items in the counter and boldly told the salesperson.

The salesperson looked at Jiang Xia with contempt, “You want so much, can you afford it?”

Jiang Xia wasn’t pleased to hear this.
