Chapter 139: Shrewdness

Xiao Qiongzhi remembered that last time, because Liu Wuxiu and Zhou Dayong had an accident, she broke her promise and failed to sell the remaining wolf meat to the shopkeeper of Yuekezhen Restaurant, and she was a little unhappy.

She took the initiative to greet the shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen: "Hello shopkeeper! ”

The shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen immediately smiled at Xiao Qiongzhi and asked gently, "Little girl, did you go to the city with your uncle today?" Are you here to sell something? ”

"Yes." Xiao Qiongzhi nodded.

The shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen asked curiously: "What are you selling?" ”

"Wild boar and dried fairy tofu, fairy tofu."

"Can you show me?"

"The wild boar and dried fairy tofu are sold out, and I can't show you. The rest of the fairy tofu has been pre-ordered, but it hasn't been delivered yet, you see, this is it! Xiao Qiongzhi said, pointing to the mountain chestnut tofu that Zhou Dayong picked.

The shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen immediately approached.

Zhou Dayong put down his burden, opened the wooden lid on a box of mountain chestnut tofu, and showed him the mountain chestnut tofu inside.

The shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen looked down carefully, sniffed carefully through the box, turned his head and asked Xiao Qiongzhi: "Can I taste your fairy tofu, what is the taste?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Qiongzhi said.

Zhou Dayong took out a dagger from his arms at the right time, cut out a small piece of mountain chestnut tofu in the box, and handed it to the shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen.

The shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen picked it up, put it in his mouth, and only chewed it slowly twice, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said sincerely: "This is worthy of being called fairy tofu, which is more fragrant, crispy, and chewy than ordinary water tofu!" ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Xiao Qiongzhi: "Little girl, how much silver will you pay for you as an immortal tofu?" ”

"Three coins a pound of silver." Xiao Qiongzhi said truthfully.

"Is he going to buy it all, or just a part?" The shopkeeper asked again.

"Finished buying."

"Then don't sell him, I'll give you four coins and a pound of silver, and you can sell them all to me!" The shopkeeper made a quick decision.

In fact, just like the shopkeeper of the rich family, he often makes people stare at his Yue Kezhen, and he often makes people stare at the rich family.

Especially these days.

The rich family's wolf meat has been sold out, and he, because he bought more than the rich family, can continue to sell it, attracting many guests who originally loved to go to the rich family.

In such a good situation, he regretted it very much, when he bought Xiao Qiongzhi's twenty-five wolves, he didn't expect to tell Xiao Qiongzhi that if he caught game or something in the future, he must send it to his Yuekezhen first.

In order to guard against the rich family taking the lead next time, in the past few days, he has spent a lot of money to keep an eye on the movements of the rich family, and he does not dare to relax at all.

Before he came to "meet" Xiao Qiongzhi just now, in fact, he had already mastered the situation of Xiao Qiongzhi selling wolf meat and dried fairy tofu to the wealthy family.

In other words, the purpose of his "chance encounter" with Xiao Qiongzhi was to cut off his beard and rob the business of the wealthy family's shopkeeper.

"No, uncle, I've already told people that you can't be without integrity. If you want to buy fairy tofu, I can only go home and make it again, and send it to you tomorrow. Xiao Qiongzhi refused without hesitation.

The shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Little girl, it will snow heavily tonight, block the road, and you won't be able to come tomorrow - no, it should be said, it is likely that you won't be able to come from tomorrow to next spring, before the ice and snow thaw." ”

"The shopkeeper of the rich family bought more things from you last time, and I Yue Kezhen bought more last time, which is more refreshing!"

"You came to sell things this time, you didn't come to find my Yue Kezhen, you found the rich family first, and even sold thirteen wild boars and twenty catties of dried fairy tofu to the rich family's shopkeeper, for me, it's unfair!"

"This bit of fairy tofu, you can make an exception and sell it to me!"

Xiao Qiongzhi shook his head: "Uncle shopkeeper, I'm sorry, keeping my word is my principle of being a man, fairy tofu, I can't sell it to you." ”

"However, you are right, you are indeed a cheerful person, I came to sell things this time, I didn't come to find my Yue Kezhen, and I found the rich family first, which is indeed a little unfair to you. Don't worry, I want to think about it and see if there is any other way to make it up to you! ”

She had long expected that between the big restaurants, there would definitely be a situation where people would be sent to stare at each other, dig up business opportunities and dig up ideas.

But she didn't expect that the shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen would be able to understand so clearly the situation of the rich family's buying her wild boar and fairy dried tofu today.

She didn't want to lose a shrewd, capable, courageous, and cheerful customer like the shopkeeper Yue Kezhen.

However, she could not give up the principles that should be adhered to.

In addition, the shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen just said that it will snow heavily tonight, and the road will be blocked, and it is likely that from tomorrow to next spring, before the ice and snow thaw, he will not be able to come to the county, and he also needs to pay attention to it.

In the past few days, although it is still a sunny day, the temperature difference between day and night is getting bigger and bigger, and when she gets up in the morning and goes to the kitchen to get hot water to wash her face, she can see that the water in the wooden barrels soaked in mountain chestnuts has a thin layer of ice.

Once it snows, not to mention freezing until next spring, at least, it is very possible to freeze for ten days and half a month.

In other words, today may be the last day of business opportunities to sell things in the county this year.

Xiao Qiongzhi lowered his head and thought about it in his heart before he smiled and said to the shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen: "This immortal tofu is a secret recipe of the palace that my relatives spent a lot of money to get from overseas foreign envoys. ”

"In addition to this secret recipe, there is also a secret recipe, which is also made of tofu, where they call it sun tofu, which is a bit like water tofu, but it is more delicious than water tofu, but the ingredients used to make it are much more expensive."

"I heard from the envoy of overseas foreigners that overseas, the sun tofu will be sold for three taels of silver and a catty, and if we sell it here, I plan to sell it for one tael and five dollars of silver a catty."

"Uncle shopkeeper, if you are not too expensive, you can set a portion first, and after I give these fairy tofu to the shopkeeper who bought it, go home immediately, let my mother do it, and send it to the city gate before dark, and wait for you to send someone to settle the money and pick up the goods."

The county is now at the end of the hour, and no one is allowed to enter the city, so it can only deliver goods to the city gate.

The shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen was overjoyed, waved his hand, and said: "I'm not too expensive, not too much, you let your mother do as much as possible, I will start from the end of Shen Shi, personally lead people to watch at the city gate, and when you send the sun tofu over, I can directly give money to pick up the goods, which is very convenient." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and asked with a solemn face: "Little girl, can you sell your sun tofu in Dingzi County only to us Yue Kezhen, and not sell it to others?" ”
