"Who says otherwise, Dad, it’s better if you decide on this."
"Accept! Of course accept! And you should hurry over and get the goods back!"
Zhang Long on the other end of the phone analyzed: "There’s no transaction volu in the herbal dicine market during the New Year period, so prices are relatively stable.
If they start rising after the New Year, the other party might back out!
This bezoar thing has been crazier than gold in the past two years, so it’s better to get it sooner."
Zhang Bo was surprised: "Are you suggesting I go collect it in person?"
Zhang Long said: "Yes, go collect it in person, and set off imdiately."
Zhang Bo was speechless: "Is it really that urgent?"
Zhang Long laughed and asked back: "Can you be sure he’s only asking for your quote?
If you don’t go and soone else beats you to it, we’ll be having a lean month."
Zhang Bo suddenly realized: "You’re really thorough in your thinking! The client is from Ji Bei, not too far from us.
Alright, I’m leaving right away! I’ll be there by the afternoon!"
Zhang Long instructed: "Call on video when you’re collecting, I’ll give you a hand."
"Alright Dad, you continue with your work, let contact the client and then I’ll get ready to leave."
"Safe travels."
Zhang Long on the other end of the phone said this and then hung up.
"One bezoar for 1.49 million, 205 Yuan Shikai coinage for 246,000, a total of 1.736 million!"
"Where did Brother Jiang get so many good things? He really knows his stuff!"
Zhang Bo silently calculated the transaction for Jiang Tao and beca even more cautious about this deal.
With goods valued at 1.73 million, the profit for Zhang Bo and the others would be at least 170,000.
Already on the fourth day of the new year, and there’s such a large profit coming in, Zhang Bo’s face was full of excitent.
Taking a few deep breaths, he adjusted his thoughts.
Then Zhang Bo dialed Jiang Tao’s phone again to tell him about the visit.
Jiang Tao readily agreed and sent him a location.
Who would refuse soone bringing money to them?
After arranging over the phone,
Zhang Bo quickly packed up, took the bank card his dad gave him, and drove to the location Jiang Tao sent.
...
Jiang Family Manor, Jiang Tao’s parents’ ho.
In an hour and a half, an old yellow cow was skinned and deboned.
The beef was also cut according to its texture by Tian Xiaoguang.
"This shank has tight at with lots of tendons, perfect for braising, slow-cooking, or slicing for cold dishes."
"The chuck is tender with evenly distributed fat, best for hotpot or steak and mince."
"The short ribs are tender and juicy, suitable for grilling, stewing, or braising."
"The flank is the most chewy, perfect for steaks or pan-frying."
Tian Xiaoguang has raised cattle for over a decade, almost a ’cattle whisperer’.
He not only understands cattle habits but also has a good grasp on cooking beef.
Braising, stewing, and roasting beef, there’s nothing he doesn’t know.
After the butchering on-site, a large pot was set up in the yard, unlimited beef for lunch today.
Jiang Tao asked Xu Li to call her parents and invite her in-laws’ whole family over.
Additionally, Jiang Tao also called to invite Liu Zhiyuan, Shan Yufei, and Zhang Chao - the three brothers.
During the New Year, everyone was busy with their own things, though they hadn’t t, they kept in touch on their phones.
Upon hearing it was a beef feast, they all excitedly agreed.
...
At noon, 12 o’clock.
In Jiang Tao’s parents’ house, it was as lively as a joyous occasion.
Big brother Jiang He couldn’t make it due to a shift, but his sister-in-law ca with two nephews.
Plus, the in-laws’ family of three.
Liu Zhiyuan and Shan Yufei also ca, Zhang Chao returned to Beijing earlier.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaohong also ca along.
Well, this future niece-in-law sure has thick skin; Jiang Tao hadn’t even invited her.
For the uninvited Wang Xiaohong, Jiang Tao didn’t mind. What harm is there in sharing a al?
He even admired Wang Xiaohong’s outgoing and thick-skinned nature; it would serve her well in society.
Also present were the elderly couple from next door, Jiang Tianming.
For the al, two tables were set. Won and children at one table.
Jiang Tao and the guys at another.
The alcohol for treating friends and family today was Maotai brought by Old Sun, the cigarettes were Huazi.
The dishes were braised beef, stewed beef, fried beef, grilled beef, along with liver and kidneys, almost a full beef banquet.
The main character of today’s feast, undoubtedly, was Jiang Tao, the organizer of the event.
"Brother Jiang, I toast to you!"
"I also toast to Brother Jiang!"
"Xiao Jiang... "
Be it Liu Zhiyuan and his two brothers, or Sun Xiaobao, each showed boundless respect for Jiang Tao.
For Liu Zhiyuan and the two brothers, Jiang Tao was the big brother who led them to make big money.
For Sun Xiaobao, Jiang Tao was the benefactor who saved his life twice.
This ti, being invited to Jiang Tao’s ho, Sun Xiaobao was truly enjoying himself.
He had secretly written his will in his room over the past few nights.
With plans to formalize it in Beijing with a lawyer and have it notarized.
At the other table.
Xu Li watched her husband, evidently the core of today’s gathering.
The heartfelt respect shown by others filled her, as his wife, with imnse satisfaction.
Mother-in-law Du Yongi and sister-in-law Xu Sha observed Jiang Tao speaking confidently and engagingly with everyone.
Their attitudes towards Jiang Tao subtly shifted.
At least now, when they see Jiang Tao, they don’t give him a cold shoulder.
The al was full of joy and harmony.
Starting after 12 o’clock, they drank into the afternoon past 3 o’clock.
Ring, ring——
Just as Jiang Tao finished packing up the dining table, his cell phone chid.
Taking it out, he saw the caller ID read "Boya Auction House Zhang Bo".
Here cos the Wealth-Sending Boy!
