"Cough cough."

Hu Dahai coughed lightly.

The crowd in front of them quieted down as they reminded each other.

Everyone stared intently at Hu Dahai, eager to know what he would say.

Hu Dahai said calmly, "You are all old friends of our Suntai brand off-season vegetables. We are very grateful for your support during this period."

"Now that our fresh wood ear mushrooms are on the market, we certainly won't force you to sell them."

Hearing Hu Dahai's words, those who were unwilling to sell fresh wood ear mushrooms on the right breathed a sigh of relief.

What they feared most was Hu Dahai threatening them to sell the fresh wood ear mushrooms, which would be tantamount to forcing them to take the blame.

"But!" Hu Dahai suddenly changed the subject, making everyone's hearts jump to their throats again.

Hu Dahai looked at the people standing on the left and said, "What these brothers and sisters said just now warmed my heart. It also made me realize that there are people who are willing to support me unconditionally."

"I think if I don't give a positive response, I'd be letting you down."

"So I made a decision on the spot: those who want to take these fresh wood ear mushrooms today can take them indefinitely, but those who don't want to take these today will never be able to take any more wood ear mushrooms in the future."

"In short, what you take today, you can choose not to take later, but if you don't take it today, you won't have the opportunity to take it later."

As Hu Dahai finished speaking, the people in the crowd fell into deep thought.

Especially among those standing on the right, some began to worry whether Hu Dahai's black fungus was really as fresh as he claimed. If so, his business would boom, while they would have already missed their chance.

So some people thought, "At worst, I'll just take less and consider it throwing it away." With that in mind, they secretly tried to move from the right to the left, and some even secretly asked their relatives or friends to go to the other side, so that the loss and gain would be split 50/50.

But Hu Dahai immediately pointed to those people and said, "You guys, you should go back to the right. When you made your first choice, you already decided everything."

Hu Dahai had a keen eye; he spotted several people who wanted to switch sides and forced them back to their original positions.

Those people were also somewhat helpless, as they hadn't expected Hu Dahai to be so stern.

At the same time, I also felt a little regretful, regretting that I didn't stand on the left side from the beginning. After all, I could have just decided not to take it if it really didn't work out.

Soon, as Hu Dahai requested, all the black fungus and off-season vegetables were taken away.

These black fungus are not cheap; they are more expensive than regular off-season vegetables because of their low yield.

Their first batch of black fungus was quickly snapped up by the buyers.

After they left, Ye Qinggang asked, somewhat puzzled, "Brother-in-law, why didn't you just open the package and cook a bowl for them in front of them?"

"Once you've tasted it, you'll definitely be able to tell the difference between good and bad."

Hu Dahai shook his head: "Since they don't believe us, why should we rush to give them money? Besides, doing so can greatly enhance our prestige. In this society, being a nice guy always puts you at a disadvantage."

"Besides, wood ear mushrooms are definitely not as easy to sell as vegetables or cucumbers. The production volume will be relatively small, so fewer people selling them will be much better."

Actually, Hu Dahai had another reason: he wanted to see if anyone had enough courage and ability to sell these wood ear mushrooms. He hoped to give this person a more important role in the future, because he was already seriously short-handed and needed to find some capable people who were willing to support him unconditionally.

However, after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything, afraid that Ye Qinggang would overthink it.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing suddenly realized that he needed to learn more from Hu Dahai. He secretly thought to himself that if he were handling this matter himself, he might have tried to prove to everyone from the beginning that the fresh wood ear mushrooms were edible.

Even if he really divided people into two groups like Hu Dahai did, he could very well offend the group that didn't want fresh wood ear mushrooms so badly that they wouldn't even be able to take out-of-season vegetables.

Hu Dahai's approach, which both intimidates one side and benefits the other, without offending everyone, is undoubtedly the best way to achieve a balance.

Of course, there is another key point here, which is that these fresh wood ear mushrooms can be sold, and sold at a good price.

In Hangzhou, there are many vegetable markets or crowded places.

Those who received fresh wood ear mushrooms from Hu Dahai also began to promote and sell them.

Of course, they all encountered a lot of questions from customers who came to buy groceries.

Even if they talk themselves hoarse, even if they say things like "If you get sick from eating this, I'll pay for it," it won't change anything.

But still, not many people were willing to buy it. Some thought they could just leave it at home and throw it away. Others thought they would cook it at home later.

However, there was a man named Chen Chun who, seeing that no one believed him, directly opened a box in front of everyone, picked up a few pieces of wood ear mushrooms, stuffed them into his mouth, and said while chewing:

"You all say there's something wrong with this wood ear mushroom, but I'll eat some to prove it to you, okay?"

The customers were immediately stunned by the guy's courageous behavior.

However, the fact that they dared to eat it like that reassured everyone, at least showing that they had absolute confidence in the wood ear mushrooms.

Some people who were already interested in the fresh wood ear mushrooms but were worried that eating them might be bad for their health immediately bought them after seeing this.

Some people who originally didn't want to buy anything were also impressed by Chen Chun. They felt that since he was working so hard, they would feel bad if they didn't buy something, so they also bought some.

Soon, all of Chen Chun's dried mushrooms and off-season vegetables were sold out.

The next day, everyone came to Hu Dahai's shop to buy goods, just like always.

Surprisingly, Hu Dahai, whom they rarely see, is still here today.

"Everyone, how did your black fungus sales go yesterday? Are you going to order more today?" Hu Dahai asked everyone with a smile.

Many of those who bought wood ear mushrooms yesterday remained silent, because they hadn't sold many, and some hadn't even eaten any themselves, thinking they'd dry them before eating them.

Some sighed:

"Boss Hu, these wood ear mushrooms aren't selling well. They're not very willing to eat them. They want us to go back and dry them before selling them to them."

"Yes, I spent a lot of time trying, but I only sold one box. The person said they were taking it home to show their child how fresh wood ear mushrooms are."

"I think I'll hold off on buying wood ear mushrooms today. Although I tried some at home and they were indeed quite good, with a refreshing taste, I'll just give up if they don't sell. Nobody believes me anyway."

Amidst the sighs and lamentations, those who chose to stand on the right and not buy goods yesterday were now overjoyed.

"Haha, luckily I didn't take them yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to sell them either."

“I knew it. Yesterday, Hu Dahai pulled me from the left to the right. I thought he was disgusted with me, but it seems he was actually helping me.”

However, just as these people were quietly rejoicing...

A loud voice announced, "I sold out of all my wood ear mushrooms yesterday!"
