Chapter 430: Chapter 367: Popping Up in the Foodie Group, Selling a Soft-Shelled Turtle

He quickly sent the message he’d already typed.

Only then did everyone in the group understand why Li You had suddenly surfaced.

"A wild soft-shelled turtle this big is pretty rare! With wild ones, the bigger they are, the more they’re worth. One around five jin should sell for at least seven or eight hundred yuan per jin. For Boss Li to sell it at 600 yuan a jin, that’s really cheap."

"600 yuan a jin is definitely cheap, but the total is still around 3,000 yuan. That’s too steep for me!"

"A wild soft-shelled turtle this big is a real treasure. I want it, but I just can’t bring myself to spend that much."

"Anyone who’s interested should seriously consider it. This is guaranteed to be a genuine, authentic wild soft-shelled turtle. If you try to buy one somewhere else, chances are you’ll end up with a fake."

"That’s right. Too many people pass off farmed turtles as wild ones these days. They even dress simply on purpose, which really catches you off guard."

"But we have absolute faith that Boss Li’s is a real wild one."

"He caught it in the river? How did he catch it? With a fishing rod? I don’t mean anything by asking, just purely curious."

"It obviously means he used a Turtle Spear to get it."

"A Turtle Spear? What’s that?"

"It’s not surprising you guys don’t know about it. I doubt many people have even heard of it these days. It’s an incredible and rare skill."

"Really? Quick, tell us about it."

"Alright."

"Boss Li, I’ll take that turtle."

"..."

Many people in the group wanted the turtle, but they just couldn’t bring themselves to spend the money.

At the same time, many people were very interested in "turtle spearing."

And then, finally, someone spoke up to buy the turtle.

It was Jiang Caidong.

"Haha! Boss Jiang has arrived."

"That’s Boss Jiang for you. He says he’ll buy it, and he just buys it."

"..."

Li You was overjoyed. He tagged Jiang Caidong and said, "Haha! Thank you, Boss Jiang."

Jiang Caidong replied, "Don’t mention it, Boss Li. A wild turtle this size is a once-in-a-lifetime find; you can’t just buy one whenever you want. And more importantly, you risk getting a fake. But buying from you, Boss Li, I have complete confidence."

Li You said, "Thank you for your trust, Boss Jiang. So how would you like to get the turtle? Will you come pick it up? Or should I deliver it to you at Mian Wei Jia?"

Jiang Caidong replied, "I’ll come to your shop myself to pick it up tomorrow. It’s Saturday, which is perfect. I was already planning to visit your restaurant this weekend anyway. It’s been a week since I’ve had your food. I’m already craving it badly."

Li You sent a "laughing out loud" sticker and added, "In that case, I’ll be waiting for you at the shop tomorrow, Boss Jiang. As it happens, I just launched a new dish today."

"Really? What is it?" Jiang Caidong asked eagerly.

It wasn’t just Jiang Caidong; many others in the group were just as eager to know.

That included Liu Xu, Wei Ping, Xiao Yue, and Zhang Rui’Er.

"Come on, Boss, tell us! What’s the new dish?"

But Li You decided to be mysterious. He sent a smirking emoji and said, "I’m going to keep you in suspense for now. You’ll find out the answer when you come to the shop."

"Boss, that’s not cool!"

"Come on, Boss, just tell us. We want to know now!"

But Li You still wouldn’t budge.

Everyone in the group felt helpless. ’The boss has become a real troll,’ they thought.

But at least tomorrow was the weekend. They could go to the shop and find out the answer for themselves.

’Oh well. We’ll just have to go to the shop tomorrow and see what the dish is.’

Jiang Caidong also sent a laughing emoji and said, "Fine, I’ll see it tomorrow at the shop then. The turtle is 600 yuan a jin, so five jin is 3,000 yuan. Boss Li, I’ll transfer the money to you now."

Li You replied, "No rush, Boss Jiang. You can just pay me tomorrow after you’ve seen the turtle."

Jiang Caidong insisted, "I trust you, Boss Li. I’d rather just pay now since I’ll have to pay you anyway."

"In that case, thank you, Boss Jiang."

"Don’t mention it, Boss Li."

A moment later, Jiang Caidong sent 3,000 yuan to him via a private message.
