Lu Youxi was still in contact with the supermarket executives, while the village chief hadn't been idle since arriving in the Imperial Capital.
He started by visiting supermarkets near his home and gradually expanded his range.
He recorded the prices of various brands and origins of rice in the supermarkets.
Then he looked for domestically produced rice of the highest quality tier.
He picked well-known brands from reputable regions, buying one small bag of each to bring back.
Thankfully, the types of expensive rice weren't many, so the village chief didn't end up buying a lot.
Early in the morning, the village chief began steaming rice, preparing a bit of each kind, packaging them, and bringing them all to Hope Restaurant.
"Village Chief, what's this all about..." Liu Yushu asked in surprise, seeing the large bag he carried in.
