Chapter 388 The Reverse Ceiling of Showing Off Wealth: Local Specialties Become Luxury Goods
We were full and satisfied.
No, it should be that the grain and fodder have been completely cleared out.
The restaurant was a mess, with cups and plates scattered everywhere.
The group of wealthy socialites who had just been arguing heatedly over a few pieces of braised pork were now all slumped back in their expensive European-style dining chairs, patting their round bellies, their faces beaming with an unprecedented look of satisfaction and ecstasy.
Mrs. Liu was also stuffed.
She felt she had never eaten such a full and comfortable meal in her entire life.
She rubbed her stomach, preparing to let out another satisfied burp.
Suddenly, she stopped moving.
A look of surprise and uncertainty appeared on his face.
"what?"
She subconsciously moved her right knee.
As a long-time gout sufferer, her knees have been in a state of constant, dull pain, especially on rainy days when the pain is excruciating.
But just now, right after she finished that meal.
She could clearly feel a warm current flowing continuously from her stomach to her limbs and bones.
Especially that knee that had suffered from torment for years, now felt warm and comfortable, like soaking in a hot spring.
The needle-like pain that had plagued her for years had actually... actually disappeared!
"No...it doesn't hurt anymore?"
Mrs. Liu stood up in disbelief and took a few tentative steps.
My steps were light and I felt no pain!
She tried squatting down again.
This action, which used to require her to grit her teeth to complete, was now done easily and effortlessly by her!
"Oh my god! My knees really don't hurt anymore!"
Mrs. Liu's voice trembled with excitement, and her plump face was filled with unbelievable ecstasy.
"This...this pork, this chicken soup...can cure diseases?!"
Her earth-shattering scream was like a thunderclap, echoing throughout the restaurant.
The ladies, who were still savoring the delicious food, instantly snapped back to reality.
"You know what, my hands and feet, which are usually ice-cold, are warm right now!"
"Me too! I feel like all the fatigue I've been feeling these past few days has suddenly disappeared, and I'm full of energy!"
"My skin! Look at my skin! Doesn't it look radiant now?!"
A woman excitedly raised her arm, and her skin, which had been somewhat dull, now had a healthy rosy glow.
Now everyone realized what was happening!
What they just ate was not ordinary farm-style food at all!
That's practically a miracle cure that can transform you and prolong your life!
Once they understood this, all the wives' eyes instantly welled up with tears.
The look in their eyes when they looked at Jiang Chen was no longer one of disdain and scrutiny.
Rather, it was a kind of... a kind of almost insane, undisguised fanaticism!
That look in his eyes was like that of a traveler dying of thirst in the desert who had seen a life-saving oasis.
Mrs. Liu was the first to react, and she became completely furious.
Forget about modesty and dignity!
When it comes to health and life, that ridiculous sense of face is nothing!
She rushed towards Jiang Chen in one stride, and because her movement was so sudden, she almost knocked over Su Qing who was standing next to Jiang Chen.
She grabbed Jiang Chen's expensive bespoke suit sleeve tightly, as if afraid he would run away.
"Young Master Jiang...!"
Mrs. Liu's voice trembled with excitement.
"Are you going to sell...the pork in your truck?!"
"Name your price! Any price is fine!"
Fearing Jiang Chen wouldn't understand, she held up a large, thick finger.
"One hundred thousand! One hundred thousand dollars for a pig like yours! How about it?!"
She felt that the price was very reasonable.
However, Jiang Chen merely glanced at her indifferently, not even bothering to speak.
When Liu Tai saw Jiang Chen's reaction, her heart skipped a beat, and she knew that she had quoted too low a price.
She gritted her teeth and made a firm decision.
"One million! I'll offer one million for a pig!"
"No! I'll buy everything else in your car! One hundred million! I'll offer one hundred million!"
Mrs. Liu has completely lost her mind; all she wants now is to get her hands on all these "miracle drugs" that can cure diseases.
As soon as she said that, the other wealthy women were in an uproar, as if they had just woken up from a dream, and swarmed around her.
"Mrs. Liu, you're so greedy! Why did you pay for everything?!"
"Mr. Jiang! Don't listen to her! I'll offer 1.2 million per head!"
"I'll offer 1.5 million! Plus 5% of my company's shares!"
"Mr. Jiang, if you're willing to sell me just one crab, just one! I'll transfer the ownership of my villa in the east of the city, worth thirty million, directly to your name!"
The scene instantly spiraled out of control.
These wealthy ladies, who usually wield considerable influence in Nanjiang Province and whose mere presence can shake the business world, are now arguing heatedly over a few pieces of pork and crabs, almost coming to blows on the spot.
They waved their checkbooks and property deeds wildly, displaying their wealth to Jiang Chen in the simplest and most direct way.
Jiang Chen was getting a headache from their noise, and his brows furrowed slightly.
With a slight flick of his arm, he skillfully shook off Liu Tai's hand that was gripping his sleeve.
"I'm sorry, everyone."
Jiang Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly drowned out all the noise.
His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of dominance.
"These items are not for sale."
These four short words were like a bucket of ice water poured over the heads of all the fervent ladies.
The entire restaurant fell silent instantly.
Not for sale?
Why wouldn't you sell it?
Is there anything in this world that money can't buy?
Jiang Chen glanced around at the bewildered women and slowly began to explain.
"These pigs, these chickens, and these crabs are all raised in Jiangjia Village using special spring water and special feed."
"The output is very low; not much can be produced in a year."
"Therefore, I'm not in it for the money."
Jiang Chen paused, his gaze falling on Jiang Wan and Su Tianhao beside him, a gentle smile appearing on his face.
"It's only for our own family, for our true relatives."
"boom!"
Jiang Chen's words, especially the last sentence, "only for our true relatives," were like an invisible, resounding slap across the face of every wealthy woman present.
What does that mean?
It means, we are not worthy!
Are you rich?
Do you have plenty of money?
Sorry, you can't buy my stuff even if you have money!
This is the real, top-tier, ultimate luxury!
Mrs. Liu's face flushed red and then turned pale, looking extremely unpleasant.
She finally understood how ridiculous and ignorant her previous sense of superiority was in front of Jiang Chen.
They're not even playing on the same level as you!
While you're still showing off your Ferrari, people are already driving spaceships!
This is a complete and utter defeat, a dimensional reduction attack in terms of both scale and strength!
Su Tianhao, who had been sitting in the main seat, watching the world go by with a smile, was now feeling incredibly happy, as if he could fly.
He looked at these women who usually acted all high and mighty in front of him, but now they were all acting like lapdogs over a few pieces of pork.
The one who brought them all this shock was his son-in-law!
He picked up his wine glass, raised it to Jiang Chen from afar, and then drank it all in one gulp.
it is good!
What a good son-in-law!
Well done!
Jiang Wan felt that she had gained both face and substance.
She looked at her daughter and son-in-law standing together, a picture of perfect harmony, and her eyes welled up with tears.
She walked over to Jiang Chen and affectionately straightened his collar. Her gaze was that of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, growing more and more satisfied with him.
Just then, the system's monotonous notification sound arrived in Jiang Chen's mind as expected.
[Ding! The Mid-Autumn Festival gift sent by the host has caused an extremely shocking effect among the top elite circles in the provincial capital!]
This has greatly enhanced the Jiang family's social status and intangible prestige!
[This is judged to be an exceptionally filial act of consumption!]
[Triggering the highest multiplier super critical hit for targeted spending (family members)!]
[Congratulations, host! You have received a cash rebate of 15 billion yuan!]
Upon hearing this number, Jiang Chen remained completely unmoved; in fact, he almost wanted to laugh.
He simply accepted the enormous sum of money, which would be an astronomical figure for an ordinary person.
The Su family's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet came to a close amidst an extremely peculiar and incredibly fervent atmosphere of purchasing.
Jiang Chen used a truckload of local specialties from the village to perfectly achieve an epic, reverse flaunting of wealth.
This solidified his status as the most untouchable and mysterious tycoon in the elite circles of Nanjiang Province.
