Chapter 1439: Another Day of Nightmarish Delirium
The fact proves that these cabbage heads are not hopelessly stupid yet.A few minutes later, Liu Zheng got the hotpot he wanted.
Although it's just a clear water pot.
"No problem with the base, but what about salt?"
He tapped the stainless steel bowl and asked.
"No need for salt, just add this vegetable."
The Vegetable Shop Manager brought a vegetable that looked like cabbage but seemed very tough, tore off a leaf, and tossed it into the pot.
Liu Zheng used chopsticks to taste the water, it indeed became salty.
"What vegetable is this?"
He asked curiously.
"This is called salt cabbage, one leaf is equivalent to half a spoon of salt, it's usually used to pickle sour cabbage, the taste is quite good."
The Vegetable Shop Manager replied.
"Oh. What about dipping sauce? Without dipping sauce, it's just boiled cabbage."
Liu Zheng added.
"What's dipping sauce?"
The Vegetable Shop Manager was bewildered.
"Chili, minced garlic, soy sauce, chopped scallions."
Liu Zheng listed the core components of the dipping sauce.
"Oh, we have those."
The Vegetable Shop Manager fiddled with a bowl for a while and actually concocted a bowl of dipping sauce.
"Never mind the others, where did the soy sauce come from?"
Liu Zheng asked curiously.
"It's mine."
The Vegetable Shop Manager replied.
"Why do you bring soy sauce to work?"
Liu Zheng was even more curious.
"To drink. I like drinking soy sauce."
The Vegetable Shop Manager replied.
"I think your brain got ruined drinking too much soy sauce."
Liu Zheng said speechlessly.
After eating the simplified hotpot for a while, the Vegetable Shop Manager's phone rang.
"Answer it."
Liu Zheng motioned with his chin.
"Oh."
The Vegetable Shop Manager answered the call and soon handed it over to Liu Zheng.
"Mr. Liu, we've finished the catalog."
A hurried voice came from the other side of the phone.
Liu Zheng glanced at the phone, it was five minutes over the time limit.
"Considering the hotpot tasted alright, I'll let it slide this time. Send it over."
He said.
"Okay, please hold on."
After a while, the printer on the counter started whirring.
"I'll get it."
The Vegetable Shop Manager finally got a bit smarter and proactively brought over the printed catalog.
Of course, it was only in black and white.
Speaking of which, "Hundred Vegetable Garden" had an exclusive range of forty-one varieties, a dozen more than "Busy Work Hours."
No wonder the employees are this dumb and still survive, seems like the R&D department has someone backing them.
"Fifty pounds of each, give me a total price."
Liu Zheng said to the phone.
Since it's for researching new dishes, the amount of vegetables is definitely much larger than fruits, so more should be bought.
"Alright, please hold on."
There was another silence on the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Liu, the calculation is done, the total price is 186,402.36."
Soon, the reply came from the other side.
"No discounts, huh?"
Liu Zheng asked directly.
'Ah, no, we didn't.'
An awkward reply came from the other end.
"I knew it. Bottom-line price, 170,000, if you don't agree, I'll go to your company for a face-to-face talk now."
Liu Zheng took a deep breath and said.
"Please hold on, I need to consult with someone."
The voice on the other end became panicked again.
"Didn't your company test IQ when hiring?"
During the wait, Liu Zheng complained.
"Huh? How do you test IQ?"
The Vegetable Shop Manager asked puzzledly.
"Use some intelligence test questions, if all else fails, use the middle school exam questions... never mind, why am I even telling you this?"
Liu Zheng spoke to himself feeling unenthusiastic.
"Oh."
At this point, the Vegetable Shop Manager didn't seem that afraid of him anymore, nodded, and continued to zone out.
"Mr. Liu, the company has agreed to your price."
After the dipping sauce was changed three times, the other end finally replied.
"Good, deliver the goods to the front of the Bloody Restaurant, I'll have someone there to receive them."
Liu Zheng said.
"Huh? We don't deliver to the Bloody Restaurant."
The other end was surprised and hurriedly said.
"That's your problem. I want to see my vegetables in an hour, or you can start writing your will now!"
Liu Zheng shouted.
He stifled his anger and prepared to return the phone to the Vegetable Shop Manager, only to find the phone had already been crushed into a lump of scrap metal.
"The phone is broken."
The Vegetable Shop Manager took the scrap and said blankly.
"Just buy another one."
Liu Zheng sighed and handed him a wad of cash.
"I don't need that much."
The Vegetable Shop Manager shook his head.
"The rest is your tip. Let's leave it at that, contact me promptly if there are any issues."
Liu Zheng wrote down his number on an A4 paper, then left the vegetable shop as if fleeing.
No way, if he stayed with these Divine anymore, he'd lose control over his own irritability.
Being in the Metropolis for so long, it's the first time he encountered such a pure idiot.
"Da Ji, where are you guys?"
Liu Zheng called Niu Daji.
"We're already back at the Clinic, boss."
Niu Daji replied.
"I bought some vegetables, take Xia Kai to the restaurant entrance to pick them up. There are forty-one types, fifty pounds each."
Liu Zheng said.
"Okay, boss."
Niu Daji responded.
"By the way, are Ma Fuguo and his daughter still at the clinic?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"They've already returned to the martial arts school, and the bear is back too."
Niu Daji replied.
"Who told it to come back on its own? Make it pay a 50,000 fine, if it happens again, toss it into the sewer to eat dirt."
Liu Zheng said angrily.
"Yes, boss."
Niu Daji's neck shrank in fear.
"Hmph!"
Liu Zheng forcefully hung up the phone.
Panda still hasn't lost its wild nature, it'll need more discipline and training.
Since Ma Fuguo and his daughter have already gone back, Liu Zheng turned his direction straight to the martial arts school.
Upon entering, Ma Baoli was in the yard exercising.
Unlike the previous scenes full of thunder and lightning, now her aura was much more down-to-earth, not to mention divine thunder, there wasn't even any wind from her punches.
