Chapter Eighty-Three: Business Negotiations
"What's wrong? You two think my request is too abrupt, don't you? If you feel embarrassed, it doesn't matter if you don't agree, if you don't buy and sell, you can make a friend, and I can also change to the next restaurant to ask. Gu Changning saw that they were stunned for a long time and did not react, and suddenly rose up to tease their minds.
Gu Huai'an listened to her words, the corners of his mouth twitched, his eyes opened sideways, and he chose to pretend not to hear.
My sister is starting to skin again.
"No, no, no embarrassment, no embarrassment, not abrupt at all, if you can provide vegetables, we are naturally willing to ask for it, very willing." The shopkeeper Yan, who was frightened by her words, hurriedly waved his hand to negate the three links, signaling her not to be careful.
Because this is not too much to ask!
"That's good, that's good, then I'll rest assured, the two of them haven't spoken for a long time, and I've been nervous for a long time, thinking that I can't talk." Gu Changning also patted his chest and made a relieved little appearance.
The corners of Gu Huai'an's mouth twitched daily, trying to maintain his composure.
Why is my sister so skinny?!
Chen Jinshu and Shopkeeper Yan listened to Gu Changning's words, and gave each other another look, their eyes full of shock and joy.
After this conversation, they had exchanged no less than three or four glances with each other, which was enough to see how surprised they were in their hearts.
"Ahem, little brother, you just said that you can provide us with vegetables, I don't know what kind of vegetables?" Shopkeeper Yan remembered the most critical question and hurriedly asked.
Shopkeeper Yan is fifty-two this year, and has been working in Chen Ji Restaurant for more than 30 years, and his experience is very sophisticated, so when Chen Jinshu looked at him, he had already handed over the initiative to the shopkeeper Yan, and he just sat aside and listened carefully.
Hearing him ask about this important point at this time, Chen Jinshu also raised his eyes and stared at Gu Changning.
Someone once discovered this way to make money, saying that it was fresh vegetables, but in fact, they were pretending to be Chinese cabbage and white radish, and they were driven out by the shopkeeper Yan.
When he mentioned it now, he was afraid that the little brother in front of him would not figure it out and sell the two stored vegetables as fresh vegetables, so he had to ask carefully.
"Well, the shopkeeper's words can be asked of me." Gu Changning was not as complicated as he thought, she frowned, and thought, "It's not winter yet, and I haven't decided what type of vegetables to plant at that time, but if the shopkeeper Yan has the type of vegetables he wants to designate for purchase, it's not that he can't plant it, but I don't dare to guarantee that it will be successful." ”
She had previously selected a few vegetables based on the sowing needs and the length of the growth cycle, and if the shopkeeper Yan had specially designated vegetables to be harvested, then she would have to re-plan.
"You—you mean...... Not only can you plant, but there are many kinds to choose from? Shopkeeper Yan gasped and looked at Gu Changning with burning eyes.
He originally thought that the best result was that he could only grow one or two types of vegetables, because the winter in the north can freeze the shoots of all crops, and the shopkeeper Yan was wondering if this little brother had found the habits of which crops were more cold-tolerant, and what methods to cultivate according to their habits.
I didn't expect that there are many types that can be selected, how can this not surprise the shopkeeper Yan!
"Hmm." Gu Changning nodded affirmatively.
The shopkeeper Yan was overjoyed, and Chen Jinshu saw that his mouth couldn't close when he smiled, so he coughed lightly and motioned him to pay attention to his image.
Shopkeeper Yan woke up from the excitement, calmed down and thought about it, and then carefully confirmed: "I don't know what vegetables you have successfully planted so far, little brother?" ”
If there are species that have been successfully planted, then let this little brother continue to plant according to these things.
As for the rest, you can try it out a little when the time comes.
Of course, if you can succeed, it doesn't matter, anyway, the most important thing is to be fresh, not afraid that the guests will not come.
Shopkeeper Yan calculated very well in his heart, but the expression on his face was ruined in the next second.
"I haven't planted a single one so far." Gu Changning didn't feel that there was a problem at all and said calmly, "I'm just waiting to come quickly this winter, so I can see if this is possible." ”
Although she said it conservatively, she knew that she would definitely be able to grow it by doing so, after all, the basket of vegetables in the mansion in the previous life was proof of it.
It's just that now she can't pack tickets with Chen Jinshu and Yan, so she is more subtle.
“……”
Shopkeeper Yan and Chen Jinshu were shocked, and at that moment they even wondered if they had heard it wrong.
Previously, when they saw Gu Changning's determined look, they thought that he had already tried it at home, so they dared to come to the restaurant to discuss the deal.
Isn't it......
"......" The shopkeeper Yan was silent for a long time, and then arrived, "Little brother, are you joking with us?" ”
What a joke about taking non-existent vegetables to the restaurant to sell without even trying!
"Young owner, shopkeeper Yan, I know that you must have doubts in your hearts, and I can understand it, but please believe me, I am confident enough that I will be able to grow vegetables in winter, I hope you can give me this opportunity so that I can prove it." Gu Changning sat up straight and said with a very sincere attitude.
"This ......" Shopkeeper Yan glanced at Chen Jinshu, who was silent and didn't know what he was thinking, and paused for a moment before he said helplessly, "Little brother, it's not that we don't want to believe you, it's just that the chance of being able to grow vegetables in the winter in the north is very small, and you can't come up with a tangible proof now, so it's not easy for us to decide." ”
In the final analysis, the person in charge of the family is the lady, and in the absence of conclusive proof, the young owner cannot be free to make decisions according to his own preferences, and he has no such right as a subordinate, so this matter is really difficult to handle.
Gu Changning listened to the explanation given to her by the shopkeeper, frowned, thought for a while, and then raised his eyes and said: "Indeed, what the shopkeeper Yan said is right, I also know that my behavior cannot convince the public, so I will not be embarrassed by the owner and the shopkeeper." ”
After speaking, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and I could only go to the next restaurant to try.
Shopkeeper Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her words, and said with a smile on his face again: "Actually, little brother, you don't have to worry, as long as you can grow vegetables this winter, everything will not be a problem next year." ”
"Yes." Gu Changning nodded and said, "Then my brother and I won't bother the young owner and the shopkeeper, and we will leave." ”
Shopkeeper Yan answered and was about to send them downstairs, but Chen Jinshu, who had been sitting in his original seat silently, suddenly stood up and said to Gu Changning: "Wait." ”
Gu Changning's brother and sister and Shopkeeper Yan looked at him, with puzzled expressions on their faces.
"I will tell my mother that the fleet of vegetables purchased this winter will be reduced by half, and I will want all of your plants, and the price of vegetables will be discussed after seeing the vegetables when the time comes, what do you think?"
Gu Changning blinked, a little too late to react to this sudden change.
She glanced sideways at the surprised shopkeeper Yan, and said with a little hesitation: "I'm naturally fine, it's just ......"
She has also come back to her senses, and the one who can finally be in charge of Chen Ji must be the steward of the Chen family.
The shopkeeper Yan called the young man as a young owner, saying that the young man could not completely call the shots, so he had to convince the real principal before he could do it.
It is precisely because of such considerations that Gu Changning thought about changing to a restaurant.
At this moment, seeing that he was going to make a decision on this matter, she was very hesitant.
"Since it's okay, then it's decided." Chen Jinshu pretended not to see her expression, and said firmly, "Speaking of which, I forgot to introduce myself when I just came in, which is really rude, my surname is Chen, my name is Jinshu, and I am ten years old this year." ”
"My surname is Gu, my name is Changning, and I am eight years old this year." Gu Changning was made by his move, and he responded a little stupidly.
"Gu Changning." Chen Jinshu read it silently, and saluted her again, "Thank you for saving everyone in my Chen Mansion, we will be brothers in the future, your business is my business, if you really encounter something, you just open your mouth." ”
Gu Changning looked at Chen Jinshu, who had a serious face, and felt a headache.
She already has an older brother, this doesn't count, she also "recognized" a brother by herself some time ago, and now when that guy sees her, he always thinks he is her brother, which makes her intestines repent.
Now seeing that someone wants to pretend to be her brother, Gu Changning's face is about to turn into a pig's liver color.
"Don't be polite, don't be polite, I'm just a handle, it's not too much effort, besides, we farmers don't want to do this, I really don't get used to it...... you say" Gu Changning explained with a forced smile, and politely rejected Chen Jinshu's proposal.
"That's it, since Brother Gu thinks it's inappropriate, then forget it." Chen Jinshu didn't force it, he took out a wooden sign from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Changning, "This wooden sign engraved with the word 'Chen' can be used in any shop under my Chen name, and whoever takes out this brand, no matter who it is, the shopkeeper of the store must help in time." You put this brand away and use it when you need it. ”
Gu Changning took it and smiled sweetly at him: "I know, thank you Shaodong." ”
Chen Jinshu was satisfied.
In the end, he also asked the shopkeeper to take out ten taels of silver and hand it over to Gu Changning's brothers and sisters.
"No, no, no, I can't take your silver, you have already given me such a valuable brand, and I can't take your silver at this time." Gu Chang hurriedly hid his hand back and said, "Besides, you also promised to accept my family's vegetables in winter, which has already taken me very advantage, and no matter how much I have a life-saving grace, it has already been repaid." ”
"How can this be the same!" Chen Jinshu said, "This brand is of little use to me, because I don't need it. So while it is very useful to you, it is not enough to be grateful. There is also a winter harvest, which is a fair and reasonable transaction, and the emphasis is on your willingness, not to mention anything else, just to say that in addition to this life-saving grace, we also have to harvest vegetables, so it can't be counted in the thanks. ”
Gu Changning looked at him with a serious look, and he didn't know what to say, so he glanced at his brother for help, and after getting his affirmative nod, Gu Changning's eyes fell on the ten taels of silver again, and he still took it.
Although this was not her intention to show her skills in the back kitchen, it was also something that people were willing to take the initiative to give her, and accepting it was not too much to ask, so she accepted it.
The Yan shopkeeper stood aside and didn't care.
The owner has shops in several lively towns nearby, and a large amount of silver comes in every year, and ten taels of silver is really nothing to Chen Ji, so he is also decided by the young master.
