Chapter 387 Gourmet Tasting
"Okay, let's go by the market price. I can't force you to buy or sell." Han Xiaorui said with a smile. Of course, if someone offered a higher price than Zhang Guangnan, she would not sell it to Zhang Guangnan at a lower price.

Zhang Guangnan also understood that as long as he sold farmed seafood that tasted good, there would definitely be many customers.

Now that Shanghai's economy is developing, more and more people can afford seafood.

Several seafood restaurants have opened this year. To be competitive, you need not only a good environment, but also good taste.

When it comes to seafood, the key is to make it fresh. Good ingredients are king.

The reason why he was able to successfully take over the business from his father was because he had secured a stable supply of goods.

Every summer is the peak season for seafood restaurants, but now it is the fishing ban period, the amount of wild seafood available is much less and the price has also increased a lot.

The key is that the quantity is still small, and many times it is impossible to buy enough, and the business is also in a stagnation. This is what gives Zhang Guangnan a headache.

Just as Han Xiaorui was chatting with Zhang Guangnan, a few gourmets came and stood beside the aquarium, looking at the fresh seafood inside.

These people like to eat seafood, and they like to eat it alive.

Uncle Li is a returned overseas Chinese. His children are all very rich abroad, and he himself is also very rich.

Fallen leaves return to their roots, and I have no other hobbies except eating.

Who could have guessed that Mr. Li, wearing cloth shoes and holding a palm-leaf fan, could be a wealthy man?
I brought some friends to the restaurant today to celebrate my birthday and satisfy my cravings.

"Boss Zhang, I didn't expect you have so many seafood here? It's a fishing ban period now, so it's not easy to find these seafood." Grandpa Li praised, pointing at the aquarium with the palm-leaf fan in his hand.

Boss Zhang introduced, "Uncle Li, I'm sorry, this is not wild-caught, it's farmed. Otherwise, how could it be so evenly distributed?"

When Mr. Li heard this, he was immediately unhappy. "It's my birthday today, and you're giving me these farmed seafoods to eat? Who knows what they are fed with? I don't care, you have to give me wild ones, don't pass off inferior ones as good ones."

Others came to celebrate birthdays and didn't contribute money, so they didn't comment, but their eyes were fixed on the farmed seafood in the aquarium.

"You know what? If you look carefully, you can still see a little difference. If you don't look carefully, you can hardly tell it. Lao Li, don't be anxious. Boss Zhang is still very honest and didn't fool us with the breeding business."

Zhang Guangnan smiled, "It's Mr. Li's birthday, so we'll naturally use wild seafood as Mr. Li wanted. I still collected some good seafood today, and I'll have someone cook it later. But we don't have the best gray pomfret, so I'll get farmed gray pomfret later, as a gift to Mr. Li."

Uncle Li smiled and said, "You are a good kid. Okay, let's arrange it this way."

Han Xiaorui saw that customers were reluctant to buy farmed seafood, so it was difficult for her to sell the farmed seafood at a high price.

After these people entered the box, Zhang Guangnan saw Han Xiaorui frowning slightly, and comforted her, "Xiaorui, don't worry. When they eat the gray pomfret, they will know that the farmed ones are not as bad as they imagined. It will be even better when the test report comes out."

Hearing this, Han Xiaorui nodded, "Then I'll trouble Boss Zhang to continue promoting it."

"You're welcome. If I can sell at a higher price, I can make more money. I won't make any money if I always sell low-end products. I can't ruin my reputation." Zhang Guangnan smiled. He didn't have confidence before, but after eating the farmed seafood and considering what Han Xiaorui said today about the test report, he became very confident.

After Han Xiaorui left, Zhang Guangnan asked someone to prepare a seafood birthday party for Uncle Li.

For those who like seafood, this meal is a feast.

Although the fish and shrimp were a little small, they tasted very good. Zhang Guangnan asked the waiter to bring the steamed gray pomfret over so that he could taste the real flavor of the seafood.

Adding too many seasonings often fails to bring out the original flavor of the seafood.

When several gourmets saw the gray pomfret being served, they were slightly stunned. "Lao Li, this farmed gray pomfret is really good!"

Zhang Guangnan smiled and said, "We are all gourmets. Please try it for me. How does it taste?"

Uncle Li nodded, picked up a piece with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed slowly, and tasted it carefully, "Not bad, it tastes very good!"

When the others saw the birthday boy had already started eating, they also started picking up food and said, "These taste almost like wild seafood, but with a little more sweetness. No sugar is added to them, right?"

Zhang Guangnan hurriedly explained when he heard this, "How can I add this randomly? I steam it the same way as I steam wild pomfret. I won't add anything randomly to it."

Uncle Li nodded, "It really doesn't contain any clutter, and it tastes really good."

Zhang Guangnan took the opportunity to say with a smile: "I won't hide it from you. The test data of these farmed seafood is almost the same as that of wild seafood. Director Wu of the testing center didn't even believe it when he saw the report, so he personally led people to the farm this morning to take random samples for further testing."

"In three days, when I get the test report proving from a scientific point of view that these farmed seafood are good, I will give back to old customers. I will invite everyone to gather together and taste the farmed seafood. When the time comes, seniors, please come and show your support."

Uncle Li liked this kind of thing the most and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, when the time comes, just let us know and we'll come over. If the quality is like that of the gray pomfret, this farmed seafood can't be wrong."

Lao Zhou also agreed, "Yes, then I must read the report carefully. If this thing is good, I would like to buy some seafood to take home in the future."

Zhang Guangnan smiled and said, "Absolutely. I'm open for business and I don't cheat anyone. I've done the test report twice, I guarantee there's no problem."

Because he trusted Han Xiaorui and believed that the taste of these farmed seafood would be acceptable to diners, Zhang Guangnan did it with confidence.

He wrote the invitations himself. Some of his big clients regarded his restaurant as a designated place for reception. Zhang Fa Cai personally sent the invitations, inviting them to come and taste seafood on weekends.

Food is the best way to comfort people and bring them together.

As long as they are free, they will come that day.

Zhang Guangnan was fully prepared and was just waiting for the test report to come out.

Director Wu and his team worked overtime to do the testing. All the samples were randomly picked up by them, and there was no falsification.

The test data came out one by one, and on the afternoon of the third day, the entire test report came out, just the same as before.

The data from the tests conducted by the three groups were not much different, which was enough to prove that the first test was correct.

Director Wu personally called Han Xiaorui to ask her to come over to get the test report. At the same time, he also wrote a report on the matter and submitted it.

They were surprised to see such results from farmed seafood, which is far better than farmed seafood from other places.

At this time, Han Xiaorui did not know how much impact Jinshan Bay aquaculture would have in the future. She just wanted to sell the farmed seafood at a higher price, make more money, and get her investment back sooner.
