Chapter XIV: Fighting
"What... What business? Shen Yulan suddenly said excitedly.
The people who came were richly dressed and the materials were exquisite, and the materials had been seen in the cloth shop, and they didn't dare to touch it.
Now the person who wears such clothes wants to talk to her about business, a peasant woman?
"I... I can talk to... What business do you talk about? ”
The person who came still had a gentle smile, and there was no contempt on his face because of Shen Yulan's crampedness.
"It's your pastry, I look pretty good, I want to talk to you."
Chu Yan understood: "You have taken a fancy to the pastry." ”
"Yes, my surname is Xu, I am the shopkeeper of Wankelai, your pastries are selling very well these days, and it just so happens that our restaurant also needs it, I want to talk to you."
It turned out that the person who came was called Xu Huansheng, Wankelai ranked among the top three in the town, as the shopkeeper, he overheard the guest mention that there were people selling pastries in the morning market, which was very soft and easy to digest.
Originally, he didn't care, but there were more and more people mentioning, and there was no shortage of important guests in the restaurant, so he had to pay attention to it.
After a few days of secret observation, the pastries were also bought and tasted, and the taste was good, but the pastries in the restaurant were not bad.
It's just that Chu Yan's pastries are made of unknown materials, they are very unique and loved by the elderly and children, so he came today.
"Okay, but please wait a while, I have to pack my things."
"It's okay, there's no hurry."
Compared with Shen Yulan, Chu Yan is down-to-earth and generous, and Shopkeeper Xu is a little different, but the two are still peasant women in his eyes, and he has already given enough face to come over to talk.
Chu Yan packed up her things, took Shen Yulan and Shopkeeper Xu to a small stall, and asked for three bowls of scallion oil noodles: "Shopkeeper Xu, don't dislike it, our peasant family is not as big as the shopkeeper of your restaurant, so we can only invite you to eat bowls of noodles." ”
Shopkeeper Xu was stunned for a moment, "I took the liberty to come, it should be my treat." Although Chu Yan invited just ordinary noodles, the etiquette was quite thoughtful.
"Then let's talk while we eat."
"Then I'll be straight to the point, your pastries are doing well, so I want to buy your recipe, twenty taels of silver."
Twenty taels may be half a lifetime of money for an ordinary peasant family, and Shopkeeper Xu doesn't think that the two women can refuse.
Shen Yulan's eyes widened in surprise and surprise.
Chu Yan pondered for a moment: "Shopkeeper Xu, twenty taels of silver is indeed a lot, but you have also seen that the pastries we make are not worried about selling, one hundred and sixty yuan a day, and four taels and eight hundred yuan a month, and the twenty taels buyout recipe is a bit ......."
didn't say the rest of the words, and Shopkeeper Xu understood what Chu Yan meant.
He was astonished that an ordinary peasant woman could think so long.
"And how much money do you want?" Shopkeeper Xu tapped his index finger lightly on the tabletop, still silent on his face, with a gentle smile.
"The recipe can be given to you for free." Chu Yan's words were amazing.
"What's that?" Shen Yulan jumped to her feet directly, "I've never seen you so ...... This ...... "She can't even speak, this is a lot of money, a way to make money that I couldn't dream of before, I will give it away."
"Sister Lan, sit down, don't worry."
Chu Yan also thought of it just now, she never thought that she would be like the heroine in the novel, running all the way to a better life with a golden finger.
She has to be down-to-earth, with her own efforts, of course, she may also take advantage of the memory of her past life to achieve her goal of making a fortune.
The arrival of Shopkeeper Xu surprised her very much, and she thought a lot in a short time.
They come to the town every day to sell pastries, most of which are made of yams, and people will always get tired of eating them after a long time.
Maybe Shen Yulan didn't find it, but she found that the sales speed in the past few days was a little slower than the previous days, and the people who loved food at first also came every once in a while.
Simply selling pastries doesn't make money all the time.
So how do you maximize your benefits? Thanks to the fact that in her previous life, she watched dramas, novels, and news in her spare time on weekends, and she also knew a little bit of fur, so she had a bold idea.
"There's no pie in the sky, what do you want?"
"Shopkeeper Xu, in fact, the recipe is very simple, but the difficult thing is the material."
"You want to sell me the materials." Shopkeeper Xu understands in seconds.
Chu Yan nodded.
At this moment, Shopkeeper Xu can be regarded as facing Chu Yan squarely, at least not like before, he is kind on the surface, and he looks down on the peasant woman in his heart.
"How do you want to sell it to me?"
"Shopkeeper Xu, in fact, the raw materials are limited, and if we run out this year, we can only wait for next year, we can only supply you for two months at present, and we can make about two hundred pastries a day."
Shopkeeper Xu frowned: "We are one of the best restaurants in the town, and this amount is far from enough." ”
Chu Yan smiled: "Shopkeeper Xu, rare things are expensive, and more is not rare." ”
"By the way, as a sign of sincerity, I can also give you a modified recipe for free."
For some reason, the more Chu Yan said, the more bottomless the shopkeeper Xu became.
The two women, who look a little older, are nothing, but they are so young, but it is not easy to look at.
From beginning to end, he, a person who has been a shopkeeper for most of his life, was led by the nose by this little woman.
The next thing is when the two sides consider their respective bottom lines, after a war of words.
Shopkeeper Xu asked, "What price do you want for the materials?" "He knew there was a pass ahead.
"Twenty cents a pound!"
Hiss~~~ As soon as the words fell, Shen Yulan gasped.
The shopkeeper Xu's pupils shrank slightly, he was very surprised, and even a little angry.
"Don't be in a hurry to refute, listen to my analysis, you look at our pastries, a penny a piece, the raw material is called yam, not a common food, good for qi and yin, spleen and stomach, digestion and other effects, now only I have."
"A pound of yam can make about eight cakes, we sell it for a penny, you make it more exquisite, put it in the restaurant more than this price, and I will send you to improve the recipe, the price can be raised to a higher level."
"Then you can't sell it at such a sky-high price, pork is only 20 yuan a catty. You ......" Shopkeeper Xu thought that Chu Yan would open his mouth, but he didn't expect his appetite to be so big.
He expected Chu Yan to ask for a maximum of five or six yuan a catty.
"Shopkeeper Xu, you are wrong, the profit you get is not only yam pastry, but also the potential customers of the new dishes, oh, by the way, yam can not only make pastries."
"Madame, you are really amazing! Then I'll give it a shot. In fact, he also wanted to borrow new dishes and show his face in front of the young owner.
Recently, the Wankelai restaurant in the county town is looking for a new shopkeeper, and the shopkeepers of the town branch below are fighting vigorously, maybe this is an opportunity.
Chu Yan's last sentence lifted his spirits, so his title changed.
"Madame, may as well tell me what else can be done with yams?"
Chu Yan smiled silently, but then she didn't want to say more.
