Chapter 455: Business Cooperation
Eight rest areas walked down, a total of thirty-five Five Elements Peak disciples were seriously injured and only one breath left, and in one rest area, the five people were notified by their companions in advance and ran away before Mao Rui arrived.
Mao Rui, covered in enemy blood, returned to the southeast rest area and found Shui Pingxian and others, who had already opened a dumpling shop. I heard Shui Pingxian say how good the dumplings are in this store, and I asked for a dumpling with three flavors to taste, and there are only three kinds of dumplings sold in this store.
"Not bad, right?" Shui Yongchang didn't dislike the smell of blood on Mao Rui's body, and leaned over and asked. From Mao Rui's return to Mao Rui's finish of eating a dumpling, Shui Pingxian didn't say a word about the result of wanting to surround Mao Rui's group of Five Elements Peak disciples.
"What do you mean? The lady's words are pretty good. Dango... The taste is so-so, not as good as what you introduced to me. Mao Rui wiped the corners of his mouth and said.
This is the truth, the taste of the dumplings is really bad, and it can only be called food on the earth, not a delicacy. The business of this shop is okay, but Mao Rui suspects that customers like Shui Pingxian are actually just coming for the beauty of the proprietress .
Mao Rui's voice was not disguised, and the proprietress not far away held her eyes at Mao Rui.
"Don't worry about the boss, my new brother doesn't speak much. Shui Pingxian smiled and said a sentence, and the voice complained to Mao Rui: "Do you talk like this, don't say it to your face if it's not delicious." I think it tastes good, is there something wrong with your kid's mouth?"
"Poor man, I have never tasted real food, and I feel delicious when I eat a little food. I say... You're not going to fall in love with people, are you?" replied Mao Rui.
Shui Pingxian: "There are people here who come for her beauty, but there are only a few, and most of them really think the dumplings are delicious." ”
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with a frog at the bottom of a well like you, it's just a waste of my cultivation time. Mao Rui made a voice and beckoned the proprietress to settle the bill.
"Seven people ate fifty-three dumplings, count you fifty spirit stones. ”
When Mao Rui heard this price, he was a little stunned, and he really admired Zhenwufeng and these people, they could eat so much with such an ordinary taste, even if they came for other people's beauty, there must be a limit.
Without worrying about the price, he took out fifty of the spirit stones he had just grabbed and paid them, Mao Rui got up and was about to go to cultivate, and just walked to the door and folded back.
Under Shui Pingxian's gaze, Mao Rui asked, "Let me ask you, what are the conditions for opening a shop and doing business in the rest area?"
"There's no condition, go and follow the pool keeper... That is, the uncle who sent you into the thunder pool said, just go through a simple procedure, and every sect disciple can do it. After the formalities are completed, a certain amount of spirit stones will be paid as rent every month, I don't know how much, I'm not interested in this kind of thing. ”
Shui Pingxian explained, looked at Mao Rui Chuanyin and asked, "You don't want to open a shop here, I advise you to forget it, you can't earn many spirit stones." The people who do business here are people who have no hope of advancement, and they will do some business here and in Zongmenfang City without good spirit stone income. Your cultivation path hasn't come to an end yet, and you don't look like a person who lacks spirit stones, so don't waste your time here. “
"Of course I won't do business on my own, so it's strange if I don't get killed by my peak master. Mao Rui shook his head and said, beckoning to the proprietress to call.
"The hostess sits, there are some things I want to discuss with you. Mao Rui didn't look at where this was, and beckoned the proprietress to sit down with the attitude of the owner of this place. You turned his head and said to Shui Pingxian: "You are a high cultivator, help set up a soundproof barrier?"
"It's so mysterious, do you want me to avoid it?" asked Shui Pingxian casually laying down the soundproof barrier.
"No, it doesn't make that sense. Mao Rui said lightly. Shui Pingxian wants to hear it, with Mao Rui's divine sense now, it is better to let Shui Pingxian also listen to it, so that someone can help arrange a better soundproof barrier.
"What do you want to say to the slave family?" The proprietress is indeed beautiful, and ordinary words still have a flavor from her mouth.
Mao Rui pondered for a moment, and after organizing the wording, he said: "The fifth level of Qi cultivation, it seems that the talent is born in appearance, and there is not much future in cultivation. In this life, it is the end of being able to step into the consummation of qi training, and I don't think about it during the foundation building period. ”
"What the hell is the guest trying to say?" asked the proprietress with no change in her face and a flat face.
"Cultivation is a little low, but with your appearance, there must be a lot of suitors, just find a strong male cultivator to marry a Taoist couple, or even be a concubine, you don't have to live so hard. ”
Shui Pingxian glanced at Mao Rui, but he restrained his chatter and didn't interject easily.
Mao Rui continued: "Since you are still only doing business here, and you have not followed any male cultivators, it is also difficult to think about it. I don't want to know what your struggles are, it has nothing to do with me. The dumplings you sell don't taste very good, as I've said before. I said that most of the customers in the store now are not here for the dumplings, but for your appearance, you can't deny that, right?"
The proprietress nodded slightly, and the proprietress knew that the store could have business today was mostly due to her appearance. Although the dumplings sold are not as unbearable as Mao Rui said, he thinks that they are still a little delicious, but they are only a little delicious, and if others want to make the same taste, it is still more difficult to think about the guests of the six clans just by the taste.
"With your cultivation, how long can you keep your current appearance? Twenty years, forty years? When you grow old, no one will come for you. At that time, I hadn't found a good way to earn Ling**, can you still make a living with this mediocre-tasting dumpling alone?" Mao Rui asked several questions in a row.
"What advice do you have?" asked the hostess.
Mao Rui grinned, just waiting for her words, and said: "Don't sell dumplings, cooperate with me to sell others, I have a few secret recipes for food making, which are real food, and the taste alone can keep this store's business prosperous for a hundred years." I will sell it, and you only need to give me 10% of the net profit as a dividend every month, how about it?"
"The dango method is learned from the mother who is no longer there, it is not that you can't give up, and the guests need to be sincere enough. The proprietress thought for a moment and said.
"Sincerity, I'll make a few dishes of food for you to taste first, is that enough?" asked Mao Rui.
The proprietress nodded, and Mao Rui immediately came to the kitchen alone, and after arranging a set of array flags that could isolate the exploration of the monks in the foundation building period, he was busy inside.
Don't forget that after Mao Rui's meridians were broken, he worked in the kitchen of a hotel in the mundane world for a while, and he really had several recipes for snacks at hand, which were a few snacks that could be called gourmet on the earth, and I believe that they would definitely sell well in the Sancai world.
Half an hour later, Mao Rui walked out with three snacks, namely potstickers with eggs, wanton chaos, and glutinous rice glutinous cakes. The kitchen materials are limited, and Mao Rui can only make these three servings, and the glutinous rice dumplings are not much different from the dumplings sold before, but the taste and texture are better.
"It looks good, I didn't expect you to have this skill?" Shui Ping Xian just smelled the smell and looked at it, he already had a great appetite and picked up the chopsticks directly.
"According to the recipe, anyone who can master the heat can make it. That's all you can do in the kitchen for the time being, do you think it's enough to make you give up your mother's dumplings?" said Mao Rui modestly.
When Mao Rui spoke, the two of them had already begun to move their chopsticks, and it would not be an exaggeration to call the eating speed a whirlwind. After tasting the first bite, the proprietress directly gave up the reserved nature that a woman should have, and competed with Shui Pingxian regardless of her image.
Mao Rui lit a cigarette and watched the two of them eat, and couldn't help grinning, this is the so-called sense of accomplishment that a chef should have, right?
"A few more!" said Shui Pingxian after eating.
"It's not your share in the first place, it's already a lot of glory for you to taste, don't give me an inch. Mao Rui didn't have a good airway, and looked at the boss lady.
"Enough, just this glutinous rice... Glutinous rice cakes... It's much better than the dumplings made by the slave family. But why did you find the slave?" asked the proprietress .
"The principle of proximity, it doesn't matter who I work with, it's just that I was in your store at the time so I found you, that's all. If you have no opinion, let's talk about the details of the cooperation in detail. Mao Rui spat out his cigarette and said casually.
The proprietress nodded, what else can you say at this time, a good money will be sent to the door, and anyone with a little brain will not refuse.
"This kind of good thing that obviously earns spirit stones, let me also participate in it? Mao Rui, you come up with the recipe, the proprietress is responsible for the production and sales, and the cost of materials, shop decoration, store rent and other required spirit stones will be paid by me, and I will share some profits every month. Shui Pingxian proposed.
Mao Rui looked at Shui Pingxian, and didn't answer immediately, but just asked, "Boss, how many spirit stones do you need to pay to the sect every month as rent?"
"Pay over a thousand spirit stones to the sect every month, and all the shops in the thunder pool are at this price, and if the store wants to expand the spirit stones, it will also rise accordingly. Last month's income was 2,300 spirit stones, and after deducting rent and costs, he earned a net income of 600 spirit stones. The proprietress said truthfully, there is nothing to hide, as long as you have the heart, you can find out.
After the proprietress said this, Mao Rui also remembered that the area of several shops in the rest area was indeed about the same size.
"Let's do this with the monthly dividends, I will take one percent, and the remaining ninety percent will be split in half between Shui Pingxian and the proprietress. Shui Pingxian, you will cooperate for three months first, and then you will decide whether to continue according to the income after three months, how about it?"
Mao Rui gave the cost price of the three snacks, and Shui Pingxian roughly calculated that as long as the amount of sales reached a certain value, he could guarantee the return of the capital, and temporarily agreed to Mao Rui's distribution, and then it would be up to him to see if the business was as good as he imagined.
The three snack recipes were passed to the proprietress, Mao Rui got up and said, "It's none of my business next, how to sell it, you two will discuss it." There are quite a lot of disciples of Zhenwu Peak in the Lei Chi, so please entrust you, the senior brother of Zhenwu Feng, to the safety of the store, don't let the little thief make trouble. ”
Patting Shui Pingxian on the shoulder, Mao Rui left the rest area to cultivate, and the remaining proprietress looked at Shui Pingxian in surprise, Senior Brother Zhenwufeng, wow!
