(Translator Notice- There are words such as ‘Jin’ in this chapter that are weight measuring value, someone asked me to clarify it. So 1 Jin is 0.5 Kg or 500 gm. So 100 Jin would mean 50 Kg or 200 would mean 100 kg)
Early in the morning, Tang Hao was awakened by a phone call which made him feel quite annoyed. When he saw that it was Tang Xiaoyu calling him, he murmured, “Why is this Little Girl calling me so early?” Nevertheless, he answered the call.
“Uncle, great news!” Tang Xiaoyu exclaimed from the other end of the phone.
“What happened? Do you have a boyfriend?” Tang Hao chuckled.
“No, no. There’s a long line of people chasing after me. If I wanted a boyfriend, it wouldn’t take a minute. What kind of great news is that? It’s Brother Jing’s Lantian Silver Thread Rice that has been released on the market. We can buy it and cook it at home!” Tang Xiaoyu said excitedly.
“Oh?” Tang Hao’s eyes lit up instantly. Every time the Sky of Grass and Fish Supreme VIP Area opened, he would go there to have a meal. The food was incredibly delicious and good for health.
Even if it cost him a fortune, he couldn’t miss it. Naturally, he also couldn’t forget about the Lantian Silver Thread Rice in the intermediate and advanced set menu so he asked, “What’s the price?”
“The regular one is priced at 11,000 yuan per Jin(0.5 kg), and the high-grade one is priced at 100,000 yuan per Jin(0.5 kg). My dad already knows about it and has ordered 30 Jin (0.5*30= 15 Kg) of the regular one and One Jin(0.5 kg) of the high-grade one. Uncle, do you want some?” Tang Xiaoyu said.
Tang Hao couldn’t help but widen his eyes when he heard the price. “Damn, that’s too expensive! Are they selling rice or pearls?” However, after a moment’s thought, he realized that compared to the menus in the Supreme VIP Area of the Restaurant, it was actually a good deal.
“Little Girl, you’re really amazing! You know good stuff and remember to think of your uncle. Tell your dad to bring an extra 30 Jin(0.5 kg) of the regular one and One Jin(0.5 kg)of the high-grade one for me,” Tang Hao said with a smile on his face.
After the Lantian Silver Thread Rice was purchased, Tang Hao went to Tang Xiaoyu’s house to pick up the rice.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, a strong and familiar aroma filled his nostrils. Taking a deep breath, he exclaimed, “Wow, it’s already being cooked. This aroma is unmistakably authentic Lantian Silver Thread Rice.”
“I thought that if I cooked this Lantian Silver Thread Rice myself, it would definitely be far inferior to Mr. Su’s, but it seems like it won’t be much worse. It seems the rice itself is fragrant,” Tang Xiaoyu’s father praised the Lantian Silver Thread Rice.
“It indeed smells wonderful. I can’t help but salivate,” Tang Xiaoyu nodded like a pecking chicken.
“Haha, you’re not just about to drool, you’ve already drooled,” Tang Yi laughed and pointed at the glistening drool at the corner of Tang Xiaoyu’s mouth. Tang Xiaoyu blushed a little as she quickly wiped it off.
Once the dishes were cooked and served on the table, they couldn’t wait to start their lunch. However, they couldn’t help but take bite after bite of the Lantian Silver Thread Rice, leaving the other exquisite dishes untouched.
“It’s delicious! This rice is incredibly delicious,” Tang Xiaoyu exclaimed as her eyes filled with excitement.
“Moreover, it feels warm and comforting when eating it. This is definitely authentic Lantian Silver Thread Rice,” Tang Yi spoke with a content expression on his face.
“At 11,000 yuan per Jin(0.5 kg), it’s much more cost-effective compared to the set menus in the Supreme VIP Area of the Restaurant,” Tang’s mother chuckled.
“Indeed, it’s a great deal. I’ll buy another 50… no, 100 Jin(50 kg) later,” Tang’s father said with a smile.
“I’ll also buy 200 Jin (100 kg) and store them,” Tang Hao added with a grin.
If it was just about being delicious, they might not have been so willing to buy more. However, they had already tried it and found that the rice was not only tasty but also beneficial for their health. That made it even more worthwhile.
“Boss, what can I do for you?” A young man in a suit entered the office after being called by Boss Wu.
“Little Lin, arrange a truck and a few more people for me,” Boss Wu said.
“Boss, are we going to transport some goods?” The young man asked, feeling a bit curious.
“Yes, Lantian Silver Thread Rice has been released on the market, and I’m buying several hundred kilograms to stock up at home,” Boss Wu said with a happy smile on his face.
The young man was momentarily stunned when he heard his Boss’s words, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
He had also seen the news about the release of Lantian Silver Thread Rice, and upon hearing the price, he couldn’t help but feel skeptical, thinking that no one would be stupid enough to buy it.
Who could have imagined that his boss would casually mention buying several hundred kilograms of the same rice?
Even if he bought only the regular Lantian Silver Thread Rice, it would still cost several million yuan. Indeed, the world of the wealthy was truly hard to understand.
“Brother, Lantian Silver Thread Rice has been released on the market,” An Jihao picked up the phone and was greeted by a melodious female voice on the other end.
“I’ve heard about it. I’ve already sent someone to buy it,” An Jihao replied with a smile.
“How many Jin(0.5 kg) did you buy?” The woman asked.
“200 Jin(100 kg). Since it has a long shelf life, I’ll stock up just in case there’s a shortage,” An Jihao said.
“Damn, Lantian Silver Thread Rice is on the market!” Qin Xulan and Liu Qing exclaimed when they saw the news.
They were both busy when the Sky of Grass and Fish Supreme VIP Area opened, so they didn’t have the chance to go. Not being able to experience the first meal there left them feeling frustrated.
Finally, when they managed to find some free time to go but Su Jing playfully announced that it would only be open on Saturdays and Sundays. But later, due to busyness or simply on a whim, it might not even open on those days.
This resulted in Qin Xulan and Liu Qing having only eaten one meal each. Now, upon hearing that Lantian Silver Thread Rice was on the market, they naturally felt delighted.
Qin Xulan wasted no time and personally bought 30 Jin (15 Kg) of regular Lantian Silver Thread Rice to take home, while Liu Qing purchased 40 Jin (20 kg).
They could be considered small wealthy individuals, but even for them, such expensive rice required careful consideration.
