Wang Lun was not far from the waitress, so he naturally heard what she said.

Wang Lun was also a little surprised when he heard that a six-piece watermelon fruit plate cost one hundred yuan.

It is conceivable that the family at the table would have some opinions.

Sure enough, the middle-aged woman immediately frowned and said, "Why do watermelons have to be so expensive?"

She remembered that the company's technical department also ate at this hotel half a month ago. The fruit they ordered after the meal was two fruit plates with six pieces of watermelon. The price of each plate was only 60. Why did it suddenly increase so much now?

The middle-aged man next to him said nothing and looked around. He seemed to be saving face and was afraid that others would hear and watch their table, so he quickly pulled his wife's arm and shook his head at her.

It's too expensive. The price of a plate of watermelon has increased too much.

Although they don't need the forty yuan difference, they don't want to be taken advantage of.

This hotel is unreliable. It raises prices casually. It doesn't seem to have a good reputation. I won't come back again if I can.

However, the middle-aged woman obviously wanted to find out, and continued to ask: "Is it appropriate for your hotel to suddenly raise prices so much?"

"It's a new variety of watermelon. This time the watermelon tastes and tastes top quality and is worth the price."

The waitress took her time and preached according to the lobby manager's request during the meeting.

"Really? I really like watermelon, give me a small portion." At this time, a fat man at the table next to him said.

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman didn't want to be thought that she only asked but didn't buy, and judging from her husband's expression, she had the same idea, so she gritted her teeth and said, "We want a plate too."

Although she wanted to save face, she was also curious about what kind of watermelon was worth such a sudden price increase.

"But let's talk first. If the taste doesn't satisfy us, your hotel will be responsible."

The middle-aged woman added.

The waitress smiled and nodded, then left with the menu in her arms.

Wang Lun watched these with great interest. After waiting for a short while, he saw the waiter come back and serve watermelon fruit plates to the two tables of guests.

"Delicious!"

After the plate was put down, the little boy grabbed a piece, took a big bite, and then smiled broadly.

"Mom and Dad, you eat too."

The middle-aged man said to the two old men, then picked up another piece and handed it to his wife.

At the next table, the fat man and his friend also picked up the watermelon. The fat man commented: "This watermelon is good, with full flesh and a delicate fragrance. I have been in the agricultural product business for so long, and this is the first time I have seen it look so good."

"

Soon, all the guests at the two tables, including the fat man, were saying that the watermelon was delicious.

The fat man even happily shouted to the waiter: "Please bring another plate to this table. I want the middle portion!"

His loud voice attracted the attention of other guests in the lobby. Everyone saw the two of them eating a small plate of watermelon and immediately asking for a medium plate, and they were all eager to try it.

Wang Lun noticed that in just a few minutes, nine of the dozen or so tables of guests asked for watermelon fruit plates.

Afterwards, the whole hall burst into admiration, and the guests kept praising the watermelon for being delicious, sweet and leaving a lingering aroma in their mouths. Although it was expensive, it was worth the money, or even worth the money.

"Wang Lun, your watermelon is selling so well. I think it will become popular soon and become the signature dish of our hotel!"

Ma Qingfeng came over with a smile on his face.

If you say that a plate of fruit after a meal will become a signature dish of a three-star hotel, outsiders will think it is unworthy of the name, but Ma Qingfeng doesn't think so.

Wang Lun smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect this watermelon to be so popular."

"Anyway, I will hold your thigh tightly from now on." Ma Qingfeng said jokingly.

No matter whether Wang Lun wanted to build a potted plant base, a vegetable base, or a fruit base, he felt that Wang Lun would be a great success, and Wang Lun had already convinced him in terms of planting.

"Boss Ma!"

At this time the fat man stood up and walked over.

"So it's Boss Wei. How did Boss Wei enjoy this meal?" Ma Qingfeng asked politely.

Fatty Wei gave a thumbs up, and then said seriously: "Boss Ma, where did you get the watermelons from? Can you introduce me to the owner of the watermelons?"

He was excited and continued: "To be honest, I have been to most of the watermelon planting bases in the county and the city, but today's watermelon opened my eyes. What kind of awesome talent is this?

He must be a big shot from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, who can actually grow melons that taste so good."

Ma Qingfeng obviously would not say Wang Lun's name, but just smiled and said: "That man is a super talent, but I only cooperated with him after begging. Boss Wei may not have such a good opportunity as me."

"I understand, that would be a pity. I really want to get to know such a person."

Fatty Wei had an active mind and knew that he had no chance to cooperate with that person, so he had no choice but to give up.

Ma Qingfeng waited for the other party to leave and immediately invited Wang Lun to have lunch with him.

"Wang Lun, the quality of these dishes cannot be judged. At most, the heat and seasonings are just passable. I hope you don't mind."

When they arrived at a private room, Ma Qingfeng pointed to a table of delicacies and said to Wang Lun.

He basically asked the chef to cook every signature dish available in his hotel to show his respect for Wang Lun.

"What the hell, these dishes are all delicious." Wang Lun smiled and moved his chopsticks.

During the meal, Ma Qingfeng and Wang Lun discussed the trading price of watermelon. Ma Qingfeng quoted a price of 20 yuan per catty, and Wang Lun readily agreed.

Although six pieces of watermelon can sell for a hundred yuan, when converted into a pound, the selling price is less than forty. After including transportation fees, labor costs, etc., the price given by Ma Qingfeng is actually very friendly.

If he finds another hotel to sell, it will be difficult to sell it at this price.

What's more, the total amount of watermelons now only weighs 8,000 kilograms, which is not large-scale. When the fruit base is established and has the ability to produce fruits on a large scale, he will naturally strive for higher prices.

Ma Qingfeng was very neat and settled the bill at the dinner table.

Two thousand one hundred kilograms of watermelon, priced at twenty yuan per kilogram, totaling forty-two thousand yuan. Ma Qingfeng paid the remaining thirty-two thousand yuan to Wang Lun.

Wang Lun calculated his current money. He found that he had received more than 400,000 from the 500,000 he received from Jiang Xiongfeng, plus the bonus from the potted plant competition, and the 50,000 he received from Geng Jingzhong. After calculating the total of zero and zero, the total was

About 680,000.

This does not include the one million funds given by Ma Qingfeng.

The 680,000 yuan belongs to him completely. This money is undoubtedly a huge sum of money in the small Yinshan Village, but Wang Lun is far from satisfied.

After all, he couldn't even afford a better car with this money. He planned to use the money to engage in agricultural planting projects, and money begets money.

In this way, you can not only build Yinshan Village well, but you can also make more money.

After finishing the meal, Ma Qingfeng invited Wang Lun to sit in a green pavilion outside the hotel. It was not open to the public and the scenery was very good.

Wang Lun naturally agreed readily.

The two of them walked out of the hotel door and walked along the steps towards the pavilion.

At the same time, in the side corner of the Panlong Hotel's wide front lawn, Qin Xin, who had just parked his car, was walking around a fountain pool with his wife Liu Yan, his parents, and his parents-in-law, planning to enter through the main entrance.

hotel.

Today is Liu Yan's birthday. Liu Yan plans to be extravagant and proposes to have birthday dinner at the best hotel in the county.

Of course Qin Xin could only agree.

Who made Liu Yan the head of the family and a strong person?

“This hotel is really magnificent. It deserves to be a three-star hotel.”

It was Liu Yan's first time to visit such a high-end place. Seeing the beautiful exterior of Panlong Hotel, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, this hotel is of high quality. My wife, you are so discerning in choosing to have a birthday dinner here on your birthday. The neighbors will definitely be envious when they know it."

Qin Xin praised it, but actually felt heartbroken. After all, birthday meals must cost a lot of money.

However, Liu Yan's vanity was satisfied because of Qin Xin's words, and she giggled and said: "I heard that the people who come here to eat are all high-class people. Today I can be one."

"Wife, wife, look!"

Suddenly, Qin Xin took Liu Yan's arm and shouted, motioning Liu Yan to look at the steps below the hotel's main entrance.

Liu Yan was very unhappy and muttered: "What happened to you when you were so surprised? If people see us, they will know that this is our first time in a place like this."

"No, honey, I saw an acquaintance." Qin Xin couldn't hide his surprise in his words.

Liu Yan became excited: "Who is it? I just happened to say hello when I met him."

She wanted to show off to her acquaintances. After all, eating here made her feel that her status suddenly became much more noble.

"It's Wang Lun, he's coming down the steps." Qin Xin pointed in the direction and said.

Liu Yan looked over and found that the man did look a bit familiar. Judging from his figure and face shape, he seemed to really resemble Wang Lun.

"Hey, it seems like it's really Wang Lun." Qin Xin's mother felt that she was not mistaken.

Later, she murmured: "Did Wang Lun come here to eat with his friends? I haven't seen him for a while. It seems that this kid is promising and can go to such a high-end place."

After Liu Yan heard this, a look of disdain suddenly appeared on her face.

"They must all be dazzled. Wang Lun is from a rural area. With his family's economic conditions, hehe, his family would definitely be reluctant to go to a restaurant in their town, let alone a three-star hotel in the county."

Regardless of what Qin Xin's parents thought, Liu Yan continued to say sarcastically: "It's easy to spend thousands of dollars here. I guess he will never be able to come to such a high-end place in his life."

After saying that, Liu Yan snorted disdainfully.

Entering the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel, after a group of people sat down, Liu Yan directly picked up the menu and ordered a few dishes, then took pictures of the surroundings with her mobile phone, sent more than a dozen pictures to Moments, and specifically checked Show Geography

The location was so that others would know that she was eating at Panlong Hotel.

Qin Xin and the four elders ordered two more dishes, and then Qin Xin asked: "Honey, what do you choose for the fruit plate after dinner?"

"Choose cantaloupe, no, choose watermelon."
