The bigwigs in the catering industry all turned their attention to the delicious dishes on the table.

The fish, shrimp, and crab dishes, especially those placed in the very center, were so delicious that words cannot describe them.

Although they had already tasted that wonderful flavor before, they still couldn't help but drool when they smelled it now.

"Xiao Zhang, bring two bottles of Moutai over here."

"Yes, Mr. Qin."

Waiter Xiao Zhang immediately took two bottles of Moutai from the wine cabinet in the private room and then filled the glasses in front of each guest.

Qin Ningbing was the first to raise her glass and greet everyone with a smile.

"You all came to Nanxian, which is a great honor for me, Qin Ningbing. I'd like to propose a toast to you all."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone hurriedly picked up their wine glasses.

Although Qin Ningbing is not yet thirty years old, she has been working in the catering industry in Jiangcheng for more than ten years.

Moreover, she is extremely capable, and her restaurant, Zuixianglou, has firmly established itself as the dominant force in the catering industry of Nanxian County.

Although these people were seniors, none of them dared to look down on her.

"Mr. Qin, you're too kind."

"It's an honor for us to come to Zuixianglou to observe and learn!"

The business owners immediately began to flatter Qin Ningbing, each one more eloquent than the last.

"Thank you to all the industry seniors for giving me this opportunity."

Qin Ningbing smiled and said a few words, her words so humble that everyone felt very comfortable listening to her.

After the group finished their drinks, the waiter immediately refilled their glasses.

Just then, one of the middle-aged executives stood up.

"Mr. Li, let me toast you."

"I'll do it, you can do whatever you want!"

Qin Ningbing just introduced this person as Zhang He, the owner of the "Manxiangyuan" restaurant in Chuxian County next door.

Li Erniu picked up his cup and stood up as well, smiling as he spoke to him.

"Mr. Zhang, you're too kind. I'll drink it too."

Without any hesitation, he downed the entire glass of wine in one gulp.

Although this cup doesn't look very big, a full cup must weigh at least two ounces.

Unless you're a seasoned veteran, most people really can't down it in one gulp.

However, after Li Erniu finished drinking, he didn't blush or pant, and even turned the cup upside down in front of everyone.

Not a single drop of alcohol spilled, which impressed everyone greatly, and they were almost ready to applaud him.

"Mr. Li, I didn't expect you to have such a huge capacity for alcohol at such a young age!"

"Mr. Zhang, you flatter me. Compared to you senior colleagues, I am far from being qualified."

Li Erniu had just sat down and taken a few bites of food when a middle-aged, overweight man sitting next to Zhang He stood up with a smile, holding a wine glass.

"Mr. Li, I'd like to propose a toast to you as well."

"Mr. Du, please don't be so polite, have a seat!"

……

The business owners at the dinner table were all there to discuss cooperation with Li Erniu.

The best place to discuss business is over drinks.

In order to cooperate with Li Erniu, they naturally had to do everything they could to appease him.

So after one round, Li Erniu drank at least a pound of liquor.

If this were an ordinary person, they would probably be completely drunk and unconscious by now.

But Li Erniu acted as if nothing had happened, as if what he had just drunk wasn't alcohol at all.

"Mr. Li, we've tasted all the fish and shrimp you raise, and their quality is undoubtedly excellent."

"So we came here specifically to discuss cooperation with you."

After a few drinks, Zhang He spoke first to Li Erniu.

The others also chimed in.

At this moment, everyone looked at Li Erniu with eager eyes, clearly hoping that he would agree.

After all, the current business of Zuixianglou shows just how important these high-quality river delicacies are to a restaurant.

"It is my honor that you executives think so highly of me."

"Cooperation is no problem, but what about the cargo transportation?"

Before Li Erniu could finish speaking, Zhang He hurriedly spoke up.

"Mr. Li, you don't need to worry about that. We'll handle the transportation ourselves."

This was exactly what Li Erniu wanted to hear, since given his current circumstances, he really couldn't deliver goods to all of them.

"Since you are all friends of President Qin, I agree to this cooperation."

"But you should know about the price, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the others couldn't wait to respond.

"We've already heard about the price from Mr. Qin, and there's absolutely no problem with it."

The price set by Li Erniu was more than double that of similar river delicacies on the market.

But after tasting these river delicacies, you don't feel they're expensive at all.

"Since that's the case, let's sign the contract."

Li Erniu was short of money at the time, and with so many people lining up to give him money, he naturally had no reason not to accept it.

Qin Ningbing also knew that Li Erniu would definitely not refuse.

What she didn't expect was that Li Erniu would say such a thing.

This was clearly a way to make these people owe him a favor, and in turn, Qin Ningbing owed him a huge favor.

Qin Ningbing called over the lobby manager and asked her to prepare several contracts.

About ten minutes later, the lobby manager brought over the printed contract.

"Gentlemen, the contracts are right here. Please take a look!"

After Qin Ningbing finished speaking, the group immediately took the contract and began to examine it carefully.

After they had looked through it all, they took out pens and quickly signed their names on the contract.

After the contract was signed, the group moved to the tea room and began chatting and laughing about business matters.

Li Erniu had absolutely no interest in what these people were talking about.

So after he had eaten and drunk his fill, he made an excuse to leave.

As soon as he stepped out of the private room, Qin Ningbing chased after him.

"Erniu, why did you just leave like that?"

"Sister Bing, I don't know much about catering, so please don't get involved."

Li Erniu smiled slightly at Qin Ningbing, and then spoke confidently.

"Then let's go to the office, and I'll have a few cups of tea with you."

"Sister Bing, when you say 'drinking tea,' are you talking about drinking tea properly?"

He looked at Qin Ningbing with some suspicion, but to his surprise, Qin Ningbing simply rolled her eyes at him.

"Stop talking nonsense, or I'll make you regret it."

These words sounded quite stern, but the smile on her face was somewhat shy.

The two quickly arrived at Qin Ningbing's office, and as soon as Li Erniu sat down, she took out the tea leaves.

Soon, two cups of fragrant tea were brewed, and Li Erniu picked up the cups and smelled them.

"Pre-rain Longjing tea is indeed excellent!"
