Chapter 170: Mai Has Made a New Friend

In the study room.

Lu Lin looked at the account book and said in a good mood, "It looks like people really like the dried squid!"

Chen Xiao Mi nodded. "The price has been raised a few times. The order hasn't decreased at all. Instead, it's getting more and more."

Lu Lin nodded, he was glad that now he had more money in hand so he could reward his fleet members even more.

"Maybe there are many people buying because the price has increased, " Lu Lin smiled smugly.

At the moment Lu Lin mainly sold the squid to the capital city. The capital city was not far from the Fish Cabin county, and the price offered by the people in the capital city was relatively high!

There were too many rich people in the capital city, pork was only about 10 cents per kilo, yet dried squid was sold for 30 cents per kilo. The demand exceeded the supply even though that was the case.

Lu Lin mulled it over and he figured he probably could raise the price a little more. Lu Lin recalled some strategy called hunger marketing in modern society and he itched to have a go.

There were many people in the capital city who were willing to pay anything for this trendy food!

"It is said that squid was in abundance in the past few years and everyone hated squid, no one was interested in putting it on the dinner table, however, the fleet finds it hard to fish squid recently," said Chen Xiao Mi with a worried face.

Lu Lin shook his head and thought, 'The power of foodies is daunting! We have driven the price up and maybe even overfished the squid.'

However, on second thought, Lu Lin didn't think his fleet had been overfishing. The fishing methods in this time and space were very eco-friendly compared to modern society, so he figured psychological factors played a big role in this. No one wanted squid in the past, and people would feel perturbed whenever they found squid in their fish nets. But things were different now, people would actively look for squid in the fishing net and they would feel disappointed whenever they found the real wasn't as great as expected.

"Credit shall be given to Highness Cheng now that the squid is so popular in the capital city," Lu Lin said.

Chen Xiao Mi nodded and said, "Mai mentioned in the letter that Highness Cheng always invites himself to their house and promotes whatever Mai has treated him. Sometimes he would stay in their house till his wife and concubine rush him back home."

Lu Lin laughed, "Is Highness Cheng staying at Mai's for food or some private time?"

"I don't know either, but let's not laugh at him, he is a great person!" Chen Xiao Mi had a very good impression of Highness Cheng and so did Lu Lin.

In Lu Lin's eyes, Highness Cheng was the best food ambassador! Anything that was eaten by the prince would soon become popular.

Highness Cheng was a firm believer of 'It is much more joyful to share the joy than enjoy alone'. He loved to promote the food he had tried in Mai and Ji Yun An's house.

There were a significant number of gourmets in the capital city, and a lot of them were highbrow food snobs who looked down upon on ordinary people's food. But they dared not say anything when Highness Cheng promoted it.

Highness Cheng had impressed some gourmets since he had introduced hotpot and Roasted Whole Lamb.

Lu Lin appreciated Highness Cheng's nature, and he saw Highness Cheng like a celebrity and his spokesman. Lu Lin was secretly thrilled that he didn't have to pay Highness Cheng a single cent for promoting his stuff. All he needed to do was send this spokesman some samples, and more often than not, this spokesman would return Lu Lin something more valuable.
