"Really impressive," Chen Xuan said with a faint smile. "My eggs are currently priced at twenty dollars each."
"How much?" Zhang Feng's eyes widened in shock, and he gasped.
"Twenty dollars each," Chen Xuan replied calmly.
"Twenty dollars?" Zhang Feng felt as if his breath had been taken away. His mind went blank, echoing the number Chen Xuan had just mentioned. Twenty dollars? What kind of eggs cost twenty dollars? This is absurd!
Zhang Feng thought Chen Xuan was just messing with him and retorted angrily, "Chen Xuan, stop joking around. No eggs can be that expensive! Twenty dollars each? That's more expensive than pork!"
"I'm serious, I'm not lying," Chen Xuan shook his head, looking as if he couldn't care less whether Zhang Feng believed him or not.
Zhang Feng was about to say something more when Dong Li, who was sitting nearby, discreetly tugged at his sleeve.
Seeing Zhang Feng's confusion, Dong Li wore a look of astonishment. She whispered, "Zhang Feng, have you forgotten? Recently, there's a type of Silver Egg being sold hotly in Jianghe for twenty dollars each!"
"Silver Egg?" Zhang Feng paused, suddenly enlightened. Right! He had almost forgotten about that!
The recently popular Silver Egg in Jianghe was indeed priced at twenty dollars each and was in high demand!
Wait a minute!
Zhang Feng froze, staring blankly at his cousin Chen Xuan. "Did you just say your eggs are twenty dollars each?"
"Yes," Chen Xuan nodded.
"The hottest Silver Egg in Jianghe is from your farm?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng felt completely dumbfounded. His mind was in chaos, and disbelief washed over his face.
The most popular and mysterious Silver Egg turned out to be from his cousin's Farm? This was simply unbelievable!
Hadn't his father said that Chen Xuan borrowed money last year to start a small Farm, growing a few dozen acres of watermelons? How had he suddenly started raising chickens?
Zhang Feng's mind was blank, buzzing with thoughts. He instinctively glanced at the others at the table. The Old Village Chief and Zhang Gaoshan looked bewildered, clearly unaware of what was happening.
When Zhang Feng looked at Xu Changqing and Wang Man, he noticed their calm expressions, as if they had known all along.
So that was it.
Zhang Feng forced a bitter smile as he finally understood why Xu Changqing had such a strange expression when he mentioned supplying eggs from Chen Xuan. Twenty dollars each for the eggs? This was bound to lead Xu Changqing into making a mistake! Once such a bidding contract was submitted, Xu Changqing would surely be taken away by the disciplinary committee for inspection within a month!
Realizing this, Zhang Feng understood everything. The thought that he had just dug a pit for his superior made him feel extremely anxious. His face turned pale as he forced a smile at Xu Changqing and lowered his head in frustration.
Xu Changqing shook his head with a smile; he had already guessed this answer and didn't take the outcome to heart at all.
Noticing that it was about time, Xu Changqing said, "Xiao Chen, it's time to take me to your Farm for a visit."
Chen Xuan stood up.
The Old Village Chief quickly chimed in, "I want to go too; it’s a good way to work up an appetite."
Seeing this, Zhang Gaoshan felt inspired and added with a smile, "Speaking of which, as your uncle, I haven't visited Chen Xuan's Farm yet. I should go take a look this time as well."
Xu Changqing nodded noncommittally.
Chen Xuan stepped outside, followed closely by Xu Changqing and her husband, with the Old Village Chief trailing behind. Zhang Gaoshan hurriedly pulled Zhang Feng along and joined them.
On the way, Zhang Gaoshan discreetly inquired about the earlier incident with the eggs.
