Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 363 - System Tasks That Suddenly Come to Life

The next day.

Mother Zhuo looks just like Sister Zhuo Qianqian. She is unbelievably young and you can’t tell that she is already 37 years old.

Zhuo's father is even more outrageous. He is dark-skinned, tall and strong, and there is not a single wrinkle on his face. He looks to be no more than 25 or 26 years old. No wonder Wang Fan calls them "big brother" and "big sister" as soon as he opens his mouth.

After spending time together yesterday, Wang Fan was no longer so reserved.

Zhuo Qianqian's house is a two-story building with a large space, so Wang Fan was directly arranged to live in the guest room.

And Wang Fan finally knew who Zhuo Qianqian inherited the gene that made her drink too much.

With his alcohol tolerance of less than half a pound, he is already invincible in this small family.

He never imagined that Zhuo's father, a strong Uyghur man, would also get drunk after one glass of wine.

Moreover, he was not a good drinker. After one glass, he wanted to ask Wang Fan to become his sworn brother. However, this made the relationship between the two of them become closer all of a sudden.

Zhuo's father left early in the morning, saying that he had some things to deal with at the farm. Zhuo Qianqian then took Wang Fan on a tour of the town.

Although the town is not big and there are not many people, this frontier town can really be described as extremely rich.

Walnut orchards, date orchards, greenhouse vegetables, aquaculture, pigeons, cattle, etc. Compared to ordinary towns, this place is obviously much richer.

Then Wang Fan was surprised to find that the system actually issued a task.

"Ding."

"Mission: Please set up a stall at Yuanshan Seafood Farm for five consecutive days starting Monday and sell at least 10 servings of seafood-related delicacies."

"Mission Reward: Seafood Recipe Collection (Already issued. Recipes and memories will be reclaimed if mission fails.)"

"Special Mission: Please set up a stall at Yuanshan Seafood Farm for five consecutive days starting Monday and sell at least 100 servings of seafood-related delicacies."

"Quest Reward: Chef Level +5, Seafood Encyclopedia (Already obtained, memory will be recovered if the mission fails.)"

Wang Fan rubbed his chin, a little confused about what was going on.

After all, the system task had been closed in advance, and this actually launched a sneak attack on me.

Today is Sunday, and tomorrow is Monday.

And Yuanshan Seafood Farm... the name sounds like it was run by my father-in-law, right?

"Let's go check out my father-in-law's seafood farm?"

Zhuo Qianqian rolled her eyes and asked, "Why don't you call me that in front of him?"

Wang Fan chuckled: "It will happen sooner or later."

After riding the electric scooter for more than ten minutes, I saw a large archway in the distance. Through the archway, I could see rows of neatly arranged rectangular pools, which I guess were pools for raising seafood.

Zhuo's father was on the phone, looking a little serious. When he saw the two of them coming, he waved his hand and told Wang Fan and the others to go around by themselves.

It was also Zhuo Qianqian's first time to see her own seafood farm, and she followed Wang Fan to look around curiously.

Wang Fan estimated that each pond should be about ten acres. Some ponds are deep and some are shallow. The water in the shallow ponds is clear and transparent, and you can clearly see the fish in it.

Some ponds are filled with shrimps, which are very lively and bounce around.

It was this density and size that made Wang Fan frown. After all, he had just obtained memories related to seafood, and according to the memories, the shrimp were already of this size and could be sold. If he continued to raise them, he would have to decide not to invest in new shrimp fry.

Considering the system tasks and Zhuo's father's expression, could it be that... it's not selling well?
The more Wang Fan thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high, otherwise there was no way to explain why all the pools were full.

Looking at Zhuo's father who was still making phone calls, Wang Fan began to think, what should he use to make these people cry?

Zhuo Yuanshan stayed in a corner, smoking and saying, "Maimaiti, can't you buy more?"

The voice on the phone was also helpless: "Brother Zhuo, it's not that I don't want to buy. If you still sell a few hundred kilograms of beef and mutton, I will take them. But as you know, people here rarely eat seafood, so I really can't ask for much."

Zhuo Yuanshan was silent: "Well, that's it, I won't make things difficult for you."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and called the person in charge of purchasing seafood again.

"Boss Li, we clearly agreed to buy all of them, why are you delaying this? My new shrimp fry are about to have their water changed, but the previous batch is still soaking in the pond."

Boss Li smacked his lips and said, "Brother Yuanshan, it's not that I don't want to buy it, but your price is a bit high and it's not competitive. How about you consider lowering it to 7%? I promise to eat it all for you."

Zhuo Yuanshan immediately became angry and asked, "Wasn't it 8% the day before yesterday? Why did it become 7% again?"

Boss Li said helplessly: "It's normal for prices in this market to fluctuate. If you keep dragging it out like this, I'm afraid it's possible that 6% to 5% of them will fail."

No matter how dumb Zhuo Yuanshan was, he knew that Boss Li was just asking for a higher price. He was sure that Zhuo Yuanshan was in a hurry to sell the item, so he was trying to lower the price to the hilt.

"Even if my fish and shrimp rot in the pond, I won't sell them to you, a profiteer!"

Zhuo Yuanshan cursed and hung up the phone angrily, hating this profiteer in his heart.

It was all my fault for trusting him and not signing the letter of intent to acquire. Now this has become a reason for this unscrupulous businessman to torture me to death.

"Dad, who are you talking to on the phone? Why are you so angry?"

Hearing Zhuo Qianqian's question, Zhuo Yuanshan quickly rubbed his face and put on a smile and replied, "It's okay, it's just a small matter."

Seeing Wang Fan staring at the shrimp pond in a daze, he walked over and said, "White South American shrimp, each one is so lively. My daughter said you are a good cook, why don't you try making some for lunch today?"

As he spoke, he picked up the scoop net beside him and caught seven or eight prawns in one go.

Wang Fan came back to his senses and smiled, "Why don't we just cook it here? I've never cooked shrimp this fresh before."

Zhuo's father was really curious about Wang Fan's cooking skills. After all, his own daughter praised him to the sky, which made him a little dissatisfied.

"Okay, what do you want to do?"

"Do you have any kitchen utensils here?"

"I don't really have that. I usually don't cook here."

Wang Fan thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we take the food back and cook it at noon? I have all kinds of kitchen utensils in my car."

"By the way, uncle, I'm thinking of setting up a food stall here in the next few days. How about using the seafood produced here? Also, some of my fans might want to know where I am. Can I send them my location?"

Zhuo's father laughed out loud: "Who are you selling your delicacies to in this place? Even if you want to eat, you go to town. Who would come to such a remote place?"

Wang Fan said, "I just want to give it a try. If no one comes, we can just eat it ourselves."
