158: A bargain find: a mutton fat jade ring!

Chen Kai thought about this, took another turn around the Jade Market, then walked to the public parking lot, got into his mercedes-benz gle, and headed home.

As soon as he returned to his Rental House, he placed the jade statue on top of the TV stand for display.

After all, this had been consecrated, so it was better to place it in a proper spot.

He lay down to scroll through his phone, and before he knew it, the time had reached 12 o'clock.

Chen Kai immediately perked up, tapped on the daily intelligence system right on time, and began to check today's intelligence.

【 Ding! 】

【 Today's intelligence refreshed! 】

【 Today's Intermediate Intelligence: Head to Huimin Restaurant before 12:00 PM today. You will find a white jade ring in a plate of dumplings. The landlady wasn't wearing any protective gear while mixing the meat filling by hand. Because the density of the meat paste was too high, the suction caused the ring on her finger to fall into the meat filling, which was then made into dumplings and sold. Suggested selling price: 42,500. 】

Upon seeing today's intelligence, Chen Kai immediately gasped.

"Come on, Brother, she doesn't wear gloves when mixing the dumpling meat filling? She just stirs it directly with her hands?"

The main thing is, damn it, it would be fine if he didn't know about this, but now that he knew, how could he possibly eat it?

He would just have to get it packed to go; he only wanted the ring, and he'd forget about the dumplings. It wasn't that he was being too fussy, but finding a foreign object while eating was just really off-putting.

It would be better to just take the ring out and sell it.

Thinking this, Chen Kai opened the map in advance to check the location of that shop. It wasn't far from his Rental House, just over ten kilometers.

It would be a quick drive there.

However, dumplings are usually made in the Kitchen, so how to accurately get that specific plate of dumplings from the Kitchen gave him a bit of a headache.

"Forget it, it is what it is, I'll just go to sleep first."

Thinking this, Chen Kai set an alarm and fell into a deep sleep.

...

The next morning, at nine o'clock, Chen Kai hurriedly washed up, ready to Score a Bargain.

He got dressed, immediately went downstairs, and drove the mercedes-benz gle toward Huimin Restaurant.

In less than twenty minutes, the car was parked in front of Huimin Restaurant. The restaurant was quite large, with dozens of tables inside.

But there weren't many people eating, just a few scattered tables of customers.

The food looked decent, but Chen Kai had no appetite. Just thinking about a pair of large hands thrusting directly into the meat filling made him feel uncomfortable.

"Hey, young man, what would you like to eat?"

"All the dishes in our place are freshly made, not pre-made meals. Plus, our dumplings and wontons are freshly wrapped, not frozen goods."

Chen Kai was stunned for a moment and rolled his eyes. What kind of excuse would be best here?

"Are all the dumplings in your shop freshly wrapped? Can I see how big they are?"

"Sure, of course you can."

"Follow me to the Kitchen, I'll show you. Our dumplings are wrapped fresh that day and kept in the refrigerator, ready to be boiled whenever someone wants to eat."

The landlady waved enthusiastically; the hygiene of her Kitchen was something she was proud of.

Chen Kai nodded immediately and followed the landlady into the Kitchen.

Once inside the Kitchen, he found it was actually quite clean. Perhaps it was just a bit messy during the actual cooking process.

After the landlady enthusiastically opened the refrigerator door, Chen Kai was dumbfounded again. Why were there so many dumplings? There were hundreds of them.

Furthermore, under the yellow light of the refrigerator, he couldn't distinguish which dumpling was emitting a faint glow.

"This is bad." Chen Kai muttered, feeling a bit helpless.

"Are you done looking? I'm going to close the refrigerator door; let's not waste electricity." The landlady said with a grin, and after speaking, she prepared to close the door.

Chen Kai hurriedly changed the subject, "Hey! I have quite a few people working under me, and I'm planning to solve their lunch problem. I'm preparing to order lunch from a restaurant long-term."

"I wanted to take a closer look at what fillings the dumplings have because some of my employees don't eat pork."

Upon hearing this, the landlady's face practically bloomed with joy. This was a pure, big order! A super big order!

As long as there was someone ordering staff meals from them regularly, would they still have to worry about monthly performance? Would she still have to worry about what to do if the ingredients didn't sell every day?

The only trouble for those running a restaurant was not having a fixed source of customers every day. If they had customers, would they still need to worry about this and that every day?

"Alright, alright, alright! Look as much as you want! Our shop isn't short on that little bit of electricity!"

"How many people do you have under you?"

The landlady generously kept the refrigerator door open, her face crinkling into a smile.

Chen Kai smiled, "Just a small company of twenty or thirty people, a small company."

He squinted his eyes, carefully looking at the dumplings in the refrigerator. But after looking once, it definitely wasn't his eyes playing tricks on him; there really and truly wasn't one! There were no glowing dumplings!!!

Chen Kai gasped, "This... this... you have quite a lot of dumplings, huh?"

"Do you sell this many dumplings every day? What do you do if you don't sell them all?"

The landlady laughed instantly, "Young man, you clearly don't know how well our dumplings sell; we don't even have enough to last the morning."

"The afternoon ones are wrapped fresh. Look, we are still mixing the meat filling right now." The landlady smiled and pointed to the basin of meat filling by the stove.

Chen Kai turned to look. No wonder there were no glowing ones among the wrapped dumplings! It turned out they hadn't been wrapped yet. The basin of meat filling right now was emitting a faint glow!!

So the filling was still outside, not yet wrapped into the dumplings. Chen Kai immediately rolled his eyes, looking thoughtful.

"Hiss... I see your meat filling is quite good. It would definitely be delicious if we took it to make meatballs. Do you sell this meat filling?"

"To tell you the truth, we've eaten so many types of meat filling, but we've never seen one that looks and smells as good as yours. What's the price for this basin of filling? Just sell it to me!"

The landlady's face bloomed with joy; who wouldn't like being complimented on their cooking skills?

"Oh my, since you've said so, young man, what else is there to say? Just make it two hundred. It's just pork, not worth much."

"It's only seven or eight jin in the basin, take it for two hundred."

Chen Kai chuckled. "Thank you, landlady. Then I won't stand on ceremony; I'll take it for two hundred."

"Why stand on ceremony! I'll help you bag it!"

"No, no, I'll do it myself, you go do your work." Chen Kai was startled; what if she saw the ring while bagging it? Wouldn't that ruin everything?

Then he would have really spent two hundred yuan on a basin of inedible meat filling.

"Landlady! Taking orders!" Just then, a shout came from outside.

The landlady immediately answered and hurriedly turned to look at Chen Kai.

"The bags are hanging on the wall next to you, help yourself, I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Chen Kai nodded repeatedly, rubbing his hands with some excitement. "You go do your work, please don't stand on ceremony with me."
