Chen Shengfei is here again! There are good things here!

Chen Shengfei is here again! There are good things to be found here!

Qin Lin moved all the okra, yams, and broccoli out of the game, loaded them onto his truck, and drove them to the resort.

As for the strawberries and watermelons, they would have to wait for the next trip; the beat-up little tricycle couldn't hold that much.

He felt it was about time for him to buy a blue-plate small cargo truck, one that could be driven with a C1 driver's license.

The driver's license he had obtained during college, dragged along by Zhao Moqing during a driving school promotion, would finally come in handy.

Back then, due to his family's financial situation, his driving school fees had been paid by Zhao Moqing. It gave him a thoroughly pampered feeling of living off a woman, and that feeling was truly wonderful.

Upon arriving at the resort, he saw that baskets filled with various fruits and aquariums containing seafood had already been placed in front of the lobby.

Lin Chong and Wang Wei had already delivered the goods, and seeing him arrive, the two of them hurried forward to greet him.

"President Qin, you're here. We've been waiting for you to inspect the goods."

"President Qin, take a look, guaranteed fresh!"

Qin Lin nodded and stepped forward to examine the fruits and seafood delivered by the two men.

Neither of them treated him like a fool.

The appearance and quality of both the fruits and the seafood were quite good.

He called Chen Dabei over to bring some people to weigh the goods and tally the quantities.

The contract he had signed with the two men operated on a weekly settlement basis, where he would settle accounts with them uniformly once a week.

After the weighing was complete, the two men exchanged pleasantries with Qin Lin for a short while before taking their leave. They were still very busy at the market; this first time they had come themselves, but afterwards, they would just send their employees to make the deliveries.

Qin Lin went to the computer to record the quantities of the newly wholesaled goods.

For the first day, he had wholesaled 100 catties of each of the dozen or so types of fruit, as well as 30 catties each of seafood like crabs and large shrimp. As for ordinary crucian carp, grass carp, and silver carp, he ordered a bit more, adding up to a full 100-plus catties.

As for the exact quantities needed in the future, adjustments would be made based on the resort's consumption rate.

However, he wasn't worried that these items wouldn't sell out. Yesterday, they had hosted over 600 tourists, and visitors would always buy some fruit.

Moreover, there were many people who dined there yesterday. With those people patronizing the resort's buffet, in that lively atmosphere, no one would be stingy. With only 30 catties of each seafood variety, there was no fear of failing to consume them.

The profits from these wholesaled items came solely from the price difference. They certainly didn't yield as much profit as the cost-free items produced by the game, but earning a little was still something, and it served as a nice supplement.

Furthermore, these wholesaled goods could also provide a better cover for the items he brought out from the game.

"Chen Dabei, dump those fish into the fish pond," Qin Lin instructed Chen Dabei, then turned to look at Gao Yaoyao. "Gao Yaoyao, take some people and put the goods on the shelves. I'll give you the specific selling prices later, and you just need to put up the price tags."

Some display racks had long been set up outside the lobby, sheltered by simple large umbrellas. Lacking better conditions for now, they would just have to make do until the dedicated sales center was built.

"Alright, Boss!" Gao Yaoyao replied sweetly and immediately got busy with the service staff.

Chen Dabei also led two security guards to carry the fish toward the fish pond.

Looking at the recorded wholesale data, Qin Lin had a flash of inspiration. If he really couldn't persuade his mother otherwise, he could just let her record the wholesale quantities every day. Anyway, the system software would calculate everything automatically, so she wouldn't need to rack her brains—she just had to log the numbers.

The rest of the time, she could consider it as recuperating at the resort, walking Wang Cais as a leisurely dog-walk. In the lively atmosphere, putting her in a good mood would also benefit her health.

Gao Yaoyao and the service staff quickly arranged the fruits and seafood on the shelves. Soon, tourists began to trickle in, and the resort grew lively and bustling.

As noon approached.

A Maybach 62S drove into the resort's parking lot once again. Chen Dabei, who was on patrol, spotted the vehicle the moment it arrived and immediately went over to guide the parking.

Chen Shengfei stepped out of the car, accompanied by a man with a square face.

As soon as he stepped out, the square-faced man frowned and said, "Old Chen, your taste is a bit peculiar. Why did you choose a place like this this time?"

Clearly, he was quite disappointed.

The parking lot was still covered in mud; it was far too tacky.

If he weren't so familiar with Chen Shengfei, he would have suspected the other man was just brushing him off.

Knowing full well what his companion was thinking, Chen Shengfei smiled and said, "Old Ma, don't be deceived by appearances. We've been cooperating for so many years, would I fob you off with a subpar place?"

Only then did Old Ma nod and follow Chen Shengfei toward the resort.

Seeing this, Chen Dabei immediately fetched two warning signs and placed them around the vehicle.

It wouldn't do if someone bumped into this car; otherwise, the tourists would have trouble, and the resort would have trouble too.

Following behind Chen Shengfei, Old Ma walked all the way to the front of the reception lobby and felt even more disappointed. "Old Ma, these facilities seem a bit outdated."

This was clearly a rural resort, and at a single glance, one could tell it was a small-scale place with minimal investment, not even reaching the tier of a recreational resort.

Normally, the resorts he visited were top-tier vacation spots. The sight before him was genuinely off-putting.

If the person who brought him here hadn't been Chen Shengfei, he would have thrown a fit and left right then and there.

"Old Ma, I told you not to judge by appearances. Here, you can eat wild game of massive proportions—wild crucian carp weighing over 10 catties, and wild grass carp weighing over 30 catties. That flavor will definitely make your appetite soar." As Chen Shengfei spoke, he entered the lobby and walked toward the fish tanks on display.

"Old Ma, are you joking?" Old Ma was clearly taken aback.

Naturally, he knew what wild crucian carp and wild grass carp were, and he had eaten plenty of them, most of which weighed around 2 catties. Once, at the Fragrance Pavilion, he had eaten a 5-catty wild crucian carp, which the restaurant's owner had bragged about as the king of crucian carp.

And now Chen Shengfei was telling him there were 10-catty wild crucian carp here?

Lost in thought, Old Ma followed him to the fish tank, where he froze, staring in sheer disbelief at the massive creatures swimming inside.

"Are these... the hell, all wild?" Old Ma was utterly astounded. What was he looking at?

Not only were there 10-catty crucian carp, but there were also two other kinds of fish that must have weighed 20 or 30 catties each, right?

He checked the price tags, which showed a mere 250, 280, and 300 yuan per catty respectively.

Chen Shengfei laughed. "They are indeed wild, and the difference from artificially farmed ones is huge. Besides, the good things here aren't limited to just these."

With a mysterious smile, Chen Shengfei walked toward the shelves as if searching for something, though he failed to find the 400-yuan-per-catty okra he was looking for.

Bringing Old Ma here was precisely for that item.

"Mr. Chen, welcome back!" Qin Lin came out, recognized Chen Shengfei, and immediately stepped forward to host them.

Seeing Qin Lin, Chen Shengfei's expression lit up with joy, and he immediately said, "Boss Qin, I've brought a friend to support your business. This is Old Ma."

"Mr. Ma, hello." Qin Lin politely shook hands with Old Ma.

"Ma Liewen," President Ma introduced himself, and then asked, "Boss Qin, your fish are extraordinary. This is my first time seeing so many massive catches."

"Boss Qin, get us one of those fish!" Chen Shengfei said, then pulled Qin Lin aside with a strange expression on his face. Lowering his voice, he asked, "Boss Qin, what happened to that 400-yuan-per-catty okra from before? Old Ma is a good friend of mine, and I brought him here specially. His wife is more than 10 years younger than him."

Qin Lin immediately wore a look of complete understanding. "Mr. Chen, I understand. I have two other items here that are very effective. Would you like to order them together? The price is the same!"

His wife was over 10 years younger, so he needed a boost, of course!

The quantity of Grade 2 okra, Grade 2 yams, and Grade 2 broccoli was simply too small. He didn't plan on putting them on display for now; such items would henceforth belong to his private collection, usually kept in the game's storage room where they wouldn't spoil anyway.

Items like these had the most prestige when pulled out at critical moments.

The only ones brought out for sale were of Grade 1 quality.

"Then I'll trouble Boss Qin." Chen Shengfei nodded. "Right, slice up one of those special-quality watermelons, and bring 2 catties of strawberries too. Let's have them as an appetizer."

"Then please find a seat, Mr. Chen," Qin Lin said, heading inside to make the arrangements.

Meanwhile, Chen Shengfei walked over and sat down at a table with Ma Liewen.

"Old Ma, a place like this actually has such massive catches. Coming here wasn't a wasted trip after all." Ma Liewen's attitude had clearly undergone a major shift.

Chen Shengfei smiled and said, "Old Ma, after you eat this fish, you'll find it even more delicious than you imagined. Besides, like I said, the good things here aren't just limited to fish. This time, I guarantee you'll be lingering with pleasure and never pay attention to the resort's exterior again."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Ma Liewen was stunned.

Even if these wild fish were huge, he had eaten plenty of delicacies in his time. Most foods lost a lot of their novelty after the first bite, and the number of dishes that could truly make him linger with fond memories was countable on one hand.
