Chapter 400 "Overturn"

The next day at noon, Xu Dong received another call from Mr. Mike.

"Mr. Xu, I have good news for you. After discussion, we decided to accept your suggestion."

This morning, Mr. Mike contacted several "stewards" of super cruise ships through relevant channels. Two of them were very interested in sugar and were willing to purchase it.

After negotiations, one kilogram of sugar could be exchanged for twelve kilograms of flour. This exchange rate was already quite considerable, far higher than the local market price.

"Really? That's great." Xu Dong was very happy.

"This is a win-win situation." Mr. Mike agreed.

Xu Dong then asked: "Mr. Mike, how do you want to exchange? What is the specific exchange rate?"

"We have referred to the current market situation. One pound of whale meat can be exchanged for about five pounds of rice, and one pound of sugar can be exchanged for ten pounds of rice. Although this price is not very accurate, it is still fine as a reference."

Is the price of whale meat so low?

Xu Dong was a little surprised.

I was so tired yesterday that I fell asleep as soon as I went to bed. Today is Monday again. There are many meetings and chores. I have been busy until now and almost forgot about the whale meat.

"You mean to exchange at a ratio of one to two? One pound of sugar for two pounds of whale meat?"

"Yes, you only need to pay us 240 kilograms of sugar." Mr. Mike replied.

Xu Dong thought about it for a while and felt that this exchange rate was too conscientious, so he agreed on the spot.

"No problem, when can we trade?"

"How about in the afternoon?"

"No, I'm still at work. How about in the evening, at 6:30 pm, let's meet at a place to trade." Xu Dong suggested.

"OK, our whale meat is stored in a small warehouse near the embassy. I'll send you the detailed address later. We'll meet again after 6 o'clock."

"Okay, see you there."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Dong picked up the teacup and drank a sip of water.

In the office, Xiang Xin was feeding her daughter. Xu Dong did not avoid her. There were more people outside, so it was better to stay in the office.

Xiang Xin asked cautiously:

"Boss, I seem to hear that there is whale meat?"

"Just got a batch of whale meat, what, are you interested?" Xu Dong said proudly.

Xiang Xin nodded frantically: "Can you sell me a few kilograms? The price is negotiable."

"Okay, I'll sell you ten kilograms, 1,500 yuan per kilogram, do you want it?"

Xu Dong was rarely generous, mainly because he bought a lot this time, almost half a ton, and happiness came too suddenly.

"Yes, boss, can you add a little more?"

Xu Dong glanced at the baby, who smiled at him, and he couldn't help but feel in a good mood.

"I'll give you another ten kilograms!"

"Thank you, boss."

Xiang Xin felt that she was lucky today, and wondered whether she should buy a few lottery tickets after get off work.

"I'll bring you the whale meat tomorrow morning, and ask your father-in-law to take it back. Don't tell anyone about this."

Xu Dong reminded him specifically.

"I understand." Xiang Xin nodded solemnly.

...

After get off work, Xu Dong rushed home as quickly as possible, and then moved five bags of sugar from the basement. As for the extra twenty kilograms of sugar, he planned to keep it as the balance with the other party.

There should be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. These twenty kilograms of sugar can be regarded as his deposit, which also shows a kind of sincerity.

At 6:10 in the evening, Xu Dong arrived at the small warehouse 20 minutes in advance according to the address given by the other party. In fact, it was a small storefront with five or six freezers.

"Mr. Xu, we meet again."

"Long time no see!"

Xu Dong stepped forward and shook hands with the other party. Then, after the introduction, he met two other embassy staff members, one was the British leader and the other was Lord Ga Ma.

These three are all members of the Queen's Federation, no wonder they can get along.

After some politeness, Xu Dong nodded and said:

"Mr. Mike, shall we start?"

"OK, Mr. Xu, I will take you to see the whale meat first. Don't worry, it's all fresh frozen fish meat."

Mr. Mike opened a freezer himself.

Xu Dong looked at the whale meat carefully. The fish meat was all lean meat in large chunks, and the fat was scraped clean, but it was better this way. Their family likes to eat lean meat the most.

"No problem."

Then, Mr. Mike and others checked the white sugar, which was also fine. And for the extra 20 kilograms, the three of them patted their chests and guaranteed that they would never default on the debt.

The British leader even said on the spot that he would give Xu Dong a gift next time.

The transaction went smoothly. The four people worked together and completed the unloading and loading in less than ten minutes.

When he got home, Xu Dong immediately called his wife and mother out. He had kept this a secret and wanted to give his family a surprise.

Xu's mother struggled to stand up from the wheelchair and looked at the pile of fish meat in the car with a smile on her face, and Yang Lina was no exception.

"What kind of meat is this?" Xu's mother asked.

Xu Dong did not keep it a secret: "Whale meat."

"Whale meat? It seems that it is rarely seen in China. I heard that the Neanderthals like to eat whale meat very much." Yang Lina explained.

Xu's mother touched the fish meat and looked curious:

"This meat smells too fishy. I wonder how it tastes?"

"It shouldn't be bad. The whale meat dishes of the Nesang people are very famous. If they are not delicious, how can they be so famous?" Xu Dong comforted.

Yang Lina smiled and said, "We will know whether it is delicious or not after trying it tonight. I will check online later to see how to cook whale meat."

Their family has never eaten whale meat before!

"With so much meat, the freezer at home is not enough. What should we do?"

Xu's mother suddenly became worried.

Xu Dong waved his hand and said, "It's okay. If there is too much meat, put it in the car first. The engine will not be turned off. I will buy two freezers tomorrow."

"For the time being, this is the only way."

Yang Lina quickly picked a small piece of whale meat and went to the kitchen to thaw it. Dinner was almost ready. Let's add a dish of braised whale meat at the end!

The fishy smell was too strong. Braised is the most suitable.

Half an hour later, the braised whale meat was ready. Xu Dong couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in his mouth.

"Honey, how does it taste?"

Xu Dong chewed a few times and felt that the fish meat was fishy and woody, far worse than tuna meat. Only then did he understand why whale meat was sold so cheaply.

"Not very delicious."

Yang Lina also tasted a piece herself and immediately frowned and said, "Why is it so unpalatable? Is it because I cooked it wrong?"

"It should have nothing to do with your cooking skills." Xu Dong said bitterly, "I don't know what kind of whale this is, it probably tastes like this!"

He quickly took out his mobile phone and searched the Internet. As he expected, most people who had eaten whale meat commented that they had no feelings for whale meat and generally thought it was unpalatable.

The most commonly used adjective was fishy and smelly.

"What can I do? It's all your fault. Who told you to buy so much meat at once?"

Yang Lina rubbed her temple helplessly.

Not to mention the children, adults don't like to eat this meat, especially the old parents-in-law, who have bad teeth. It's estimated that they can't finish it in ten years.

It's really worrying!
