Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

Chapter 118 Guangzhou 27

The next day, Xiaomeng got up, packed her luggage, and prepared to leave for Beijing.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and she will definitely be spending it with her older sister and DouDou. She has already explained this to Manager Teng.

Manager Teng completely understood and said that it was fine for Xiaomeng to work in Beijing.

Sometimes, they also have business in Beijing, and it's much more convenient to just send Xiaomeng there.

Xiao Meng was surprised that Manager Teng had gone to such lengths; she thought he deserved to be rich.

While I was having breakfast at home, Sister Bao sat beside me and said, "Miss, I told you yesterday I'd buy you some bird's nest. It's already been delivered by the supplier. Would you like to take a look?"

"Bird's nest? Oh, you told me about it yesterday, what kind was it?" To be honest, Xiaomeng had never seen or eaten real bird's nest before. She had only ever seen empresses and noblewomen on TV eating it.

By the way, she had seen bird's nest before, but only the kind that was covered in mud. She even fed baby swallows with chopsticks.

Seeing that Xiaomeng had finished eating, Sister Bao wiped her hands with the hot towel that Aunt Zhang had handed her.

Sister Bao took out a bag of white things from the storage room next to the kitchen. "The bird's nest is here."

Xiaomeng was a little curious when she saw the bird's nest packaging bag, which was just a regular, thick supermarket plastic bag.

Does that mean precious ingredients should always be packaged in simple bags? She didn't quite understand.

Sister Bao took all the bird's nests out of the bag and placed them in front of Xiaomeng.

"This is half a catty of bird's nest. The current price of medium-lightweight bird's nest is 4000 yuan per catty."

I'll have the supplier bring over a small quantity first, so you can try it out.

This supplier has a direct source of goods and only deals in raw bird's nests, without distinguishing between heavily feathered and lightly feathered ones.

However, they would only do a rough selection and wouldn't sell heavily feathered bird's nests to important guests.

I took a look, and these are all medium-feathered and light-feathered bird's nests.

Miss, look at these goods, do you want to keep them?

If you're not satisfied, I can have them change it.

Xiaomeng saw the bird's nest on the table, which was packaged quite meticulously, using individual, fully transparent vacuum-sealed soft packaging.

Through the packaging bag, the structure and shape of the bird's nest can be clearly seen, and it looks exactly like a strip of glue.

Of course, she also noticed the considerable amount of downy feathers on the bird's nest.

What is that? So many feathers! Isn't that swallow feathers? How are you going to eat it?

Judging from Sister Bao's expression, this batch of goods seems to be quite good.

How could the empresses of the past have been thinking, and how could they have eaten such food? It's truly incomprehensible.

Xiaomeng unleashed her appraisal skill.

【The nest of the swiftlet: The swiftlet builds its nest by mixing the saliva produced in its mouth with its own feathers. After it dries, it is harvested by humans.

This nest contains relatively little fur, is a product of the rainy season, contains more edible components, and is of higher quality.

Market reference price: 6000-8000 yuan per kilogram

Okay, since the system's description is basically consistent with Aunt Bao's introduction, it means she didn't lie to Xiaomeng. The market price of this thing fluctuates quite a bit, so it's still acceptable.

"Then I'll keep it. When I come back from the capital, Sister Bao, can you make me another bowl to try?" Xiaomeng was quite brave to try.

"Miss, are you going to the capital? Will you be back before the festival?"

"Yes, Aunt Zhang, Sister Bao, I'm going to Beijing today. I'll let Uncle Bi take me to the airport later. I won't be back before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

After I leave, you can start your Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. I'll let you know again before I come back.

When I'm not home, Aunt Zhang, you can come over regularly to ventilate the house.

Sister Bao, could you help me deal with these vegetables that can't be stored for long at home?

Please inform Aunt Guan, the gardener, that the potted plants at home still need careful tending during the holiday.

Sister Bao and Aunt Zhang happily agreed in unison. Isn't it great to be able to rest early for the holiday? This new employer is really generous!

"Oh, by the way, someone will be sending over a few boxes of fruit and dried goods in a couple of days. That's a holiday treat I ordered for you all. Sister Bao and Aunt Zhang, please arrange for them to be distributed so everyone can take a share home for the holiday," Xiaomeng concluded.

Xiao Meng recalled how, during holidays in the past, her boss would give his employees mooncakes and fruit, which weren't very valuable, but everyone was still quite happy to receive them.

Now that it's Xiaomeng's turn to be her own boss, she feels she should give her employees some small perks.

There wasn't much stuff, just two boxes of seasonal fruit per person, and a few packets of easily stored dried soup ingredients such as morel mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, dried longan, and dried scallops.

That way, people won't need to buy extra things during holidays.

The services they provided over the past few days made Xiaomeng feel that the housekeeping team she hired was quite professional and easy to use.

Xiaomeng thought Sister Bao's cooking was really delicious; she hadn't had enough of it in the past few days and really wanted to take her with her.

Aunt Zhang is just what she wants; she manages everything at home perfectly. She's always thinking ahead and provides plenty of emotional support. I really want to have Aunt Zhang with me!

However, we haven't known each other for very long, so we won't bring them this time.

It's not easy to explain to my sister right now.
