In the back kitchen, Jiang was busy packing the bean curd into jars of different sizes.

No way, although people are generally able to accept the new thing of fermented bean curd, and there are many customers who immediately like the unique taste of fermented bean curd, but very few people will buy a whole jar, most of them pick a few of their favorite flavors to buy so one or twenty yuan.

From time to time, the villagers in the vicinity would take a bowl or carry a jar to buy some, and more of them were empty-handed and unprepared, so Zhao Siniang came up with the idea of selling cans at the same time as selling bean curd to facilitate passing guests.

It's just that the traffic at the take-out window is far beyond expectations, and there are often long queues. In order to improve the operational efficiency of the take-out window, Zhaojiapu divided the bean curd into cans in advance, rated as 10 small cans and 30 large cans. In this way, guests can choose according to their needs, and they can carry it immediately after paying, which greatly shortens the queuing time.

Jiang Shi, who was squatting on the ground at this time, heard footsteps behind him, turned his head to look, and saw that it was Zhao Siniang who came over, and hurriedly stood up.

Seeing this, Zhao Siniang ordered casually: "Mother, our family's business in the morning is estimated to be this paragraph." After a while, the guests dispersed, you and your aunt, and your aunt and uncle think about it carefully, who are the villagers who just came to our shop to help, and we will have to come to the door to thank you later. Seeing Jiang nodding in agreement, Zhao Siniang walked around the altar and jar on the ground, and then walked towards the back door.

"Siniang, wait a minute......" Seeing this, Jiang Shi in the back kitchen hurriedly grabbed her.

Zhao Siniang looked at her mother, waiting for Jiang's next step. But Jiang Shi showed a look of twisting and pinching, wanting to speak and stopping.

"Mother, if you have anything to say, you can say it quickly, I still have to go and greet Zhou Zhangshi!" Zhao Siniang, who had mixed thoughts in her heart, was very impatient, and waited for a while, seeing that Jiang still refused to speak quickly, she said hurriedly: "What the hell is the matter?" If you don't say it in a hurry, it shouldn't be a hurry, just wait for me to come back! ”

Jiang saw Zhao Siniang break free from her hand and rushed back. In a hurry, he hurriedly spoke: "It's too late for you to send Zhou Zhangshi away and come back." Actually, I'm trying to ask for a favor......"

Zhao Siniang turned her head suddenly, glared at Jiang, and said in her heart: I thought you had grown up just now! At this time, you actually want to intercede for Zhao Chenglan? She was just about to say angrily and reprimanded Jiang for not arguing. But I heard something unexpected.

I only heard Jiang's babbling, who lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the little girl, "...... The others were just fine, and I couldn't bear it when I saw the boy sitting on the ground weeping loudly, struggling to get up, and limping after them. Actually. I don't think that kid is bad by nature, and he is desperate to do this, so he will do stupid things on impulse......"

"When you are desperate, you can run and smash other people's shops? Is it understandable that desperate people run to kill people and set fires? Zhao Siniang asked.

"Yes, that kid did something wrong, and he brought it upon himself to be sent to the yamen, and he couldn't complain about others. It's just that he feels sorry for his widowed sister-in-law and little nephew, how can his family live without him as a pillar? His sister-in-law's sick ...... "Speaking of this, Jiang's face was full of sadness.

Zhao Siniang was as early as when Jiang Shifu opened his mouth to intercede for that person. I vaguely guessed the reason for her mother's intercession, and when she heard this, what else did she not understand? It's just sympathy.

Zhao Siniang said slowly: "Mother, don't worry, in fact, I didn't want to hold that person accountable too much, I believe that Zhou Zhangshi also understood what I meant." Otherwise, the man would have already made a pile with other troublemakers, and how could he be allowed to walk alone? ”

Jiang Shi was still a little worried, and said worriedly: "But ......"

"Alright, alright. Mother. I know what you mean, I understand everything. Later, I will go and mention the matter to Zhou Zhang, at most, let that person go to the yamen to testify, and I will not embarrass him. Do you think so? ”

Seeing Jiang smiling with satisfaction, Zhao Siniang was also quite relieved in her heart, her mother, who was a good person, finally didn't mention that she wanted to intercede with Zhao Chenglan, which was really a big improvement!

Just walked into the backyard, Zhao Siniang's slightly misty mood immediately clouded.

I only heard her father, who was a good person, asking in a whisper towards Zhou Zhangshi: "Zhou Zhangshi, this, this...... Do you really want to hold Xu Ji accountable? Can you ......?"

"Daddy. Why are you still here? It's a market day, and I have to go to the town to pull cattle into the water. You don't move to pull it now, how can we deal with it? Do you want us to work until the middle of the night? Without waiting for Zhao Yongzhong to finish speaking, Zhao Sanniang brutally interrupted her father.

I have to say that Zhao Sanniang, a little girl, is not a very careful person on weekdays, but once she touches the old Zhao family, especially everything about Zhao Chenglan, she is very concerned. She waited for three years, and finally waited for the perfect opportunity for revenge, how could she afford to lose?

In order to prevent unintended complications, she imagined all kinds of possibilities. After thinking about it, the entire Zhao family shop will intercede with Zhao Chenglan, and only her father and mother will intercede. So the little girl took the basin directly, and squatted at the back door of the back kitchen to wash the dishes, waiting for the opportunity to monitor her father's every move.

Hearing her mother plead for the man, she raised her eyebrows lightly, and continued to bury herself in washing dishes. And when she heard that her father was going to intercede for Zhao Chenglan, she immediately stood up, first interjected to stop her, and then couldn't help but say, pulling Zhao Yongzhong to the mule cart.

Zhao Siniang saw that Zhao Yongzhong didn't want to go away, and also persuaded: "Dad, the second sister is right, you better go to the town quickly!" It's not all about pulling goods, but mainly because I have to go to town to buy some thank-you gifts and come back. Today, this matter can be solved so smoothly, it all depends on the villagers, we have to thank people! ”

"Siniang is right, you go quickly! Don't be reluctant to give up the money, buy more thank-you gifts and come back! The old man Jiang, who was accompanying him, also said.

Seeing that the little girl and father-in-law both said so, although Zhao Yongzhong was a little reluctant, he still obediently went to pick up the car. Just after taking two steps, Zhao Yongzhong turned around and said, "Siniang, ......"

Zhao Siniang smiled: "Dad, I understand what you mean, I understand everything." I'll take care of it, so you can go with peace of mind! ”

After that, Zhao Siniang asked Zhao Yongzhong to take Zhao Sanniang with him, saying that it was good for the two to discuss what to buy as a thank you gift.

However, Zhao Sanniang knew very well in her heart that if she wanted to pull the cow into the water, she had to go to North Street, and Xu Ji Tofu Shop and Zhao's old shop were also on North Street. She naturally readily agreed, and pulled Zhao Yongzhong away without saying a word.

Successfully fooled Zhao Yongzhong away, Zhao Siniang made up her mind, walked quickly to Zhou Zhangshi, and apologized with a smile: "Zhou Zhangshi, I'm really sorry, I've kept you waiting." ”

Zhou Zhangshi sat aside, and only then did he see the interaction of the family clearly, and sighed in his heart: Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read! However, he was noncommittal about this, took Zhao Siniang's words, and said with a smile: "It's okay." This little courtyard of yours is not interesting, I sit very comfortably, I wish I could sit here a little longer. ”

Zhao Siniang is happy in her heart, you can pull it! asked: "Zhou Zhangshi, are you here to talk about the fan business today?" ”

Zhou Zhangshi nodded and said, "Exactly." The 3,000 catties of vermicelli I bought at your house last time sold surprisingly well in the county, but they were sold out in a few days, and they attracted many repeat customers. After this trial sale, our owner decided to promote the fans to the entire Youzhou. So let me sign a long-term contract with your family, the specific amount depends on the situation, but I will buy at least 50,000 catties of vermicelli from your family every month. ”

Old Man Jiang thought that if it was 50,000 catties per month, that is, less than 2,000 catties per day, it could be completely realized with their family's production efficiency. As for the raw materials, they Jiangjiatan lack anything is not short of sweet potatoes, although it is now spring, sweet potatoes have eaten a lot, but at this time, they can still make up tens of thousands of catties by going around the village, not to mention that almost every family still has a lot of ready-made sweet potato flour. And as far as Mr. Jiang knows, there are also a large number of sweet potatoes in several neighboring villages. So many old sweet potatoes can last until the autumn harvest of new sweet potatoes, and there is no need to worry about the supply of raw materials. Therefore, this list can be followed perfectly.

So he was overjoyed and immediately looked at Zhao Siniang, hoping that she would quickly agree.

However, when Zhao Siniang heard this, she didn't respond in a word, and after thinking about it carefully, she proposed that the two parties try to make a three-month contract first.

Regarding the number of shipments, Zhao Siniang asked that within these three months, Zhaojiapu should be allowed to ship goods every five days, with 10,000 catties each time. As for the shipment, Su Ji Commercial Bank is solely responsible for it, and the price of fans is still seven cents a catty.

After three months, Su Kee & Co. may request to adjust the quantity and price as appropriate, but the scope of adjustment must be agreed by Zhao Jiapu in advance, and unilateral adjustment shall be regarded as a breach of contract.

In addition, Su Ji Commercial Bank must also provide Zhaojiapu with a start-up capital of 100 taels of silver to support Zhaojiapu's large-scale production. The one hundred taels will be returned to Su Ji in full after Zhao's vermicelli production is on the right track, but without interest.

During this period, if there is no objection from both parties, the contract is automatically extended to the next cycle; If either party is unable to continue to perform the contract for any reason, the agreement can be terminated only after one month's notice, and the two parties will terminate the contract peacefully. If you do not inform in advance, you will need to pay a penalty of 100 taels.

Zhao Siniang herself felt that such conditions were harsh and abnormal, not to mention anything else, just talk about the price, whether it was seven yuan for a single order of 3,000 catties, or 7 yuan for a monthly order of 60,000 catties, according to her heart, she would never accept it. However, to Zhao Siniang's surprise, or vaguely what she expected, under such a sky-high asking price, Su Ji Commercial Bank did not sit on the ground and repay the money. Zhou Zhangshi just emphasized once again that except for Qingfeng Building, Zhao's shop could only sell fans to Su Ji's family, so he readily agreed to all the conditions.

Such favorable conditions...... It's so good that it makes people feel deeply uneasy.

Zhou Zhangshi, who was very active, called the chief entourage who was guarding outside, took a pen and paper to write the contract, and handed it over together with a hundred taels of silver, just waiting for Zhao Siniang to sign and agree, Zhao Siniang, who was full of doubts, did not put down the pen for a long time.
