Lu Caiqing and Song Ziyu rushed to Jeju City with Ziwu early in the morning, and saw the wheat and millet in the field covered with mud along the way, and the people were not even in the mood to harvest.

Song Ziyu patted her hand and comforted: "Forget it! We did our best, as long as we had a clear conscience, and we couldn't do anything about natural disasters. ”

After entering the city, Lu Caiqing put down his anxiety a little, thinking that he would sell the lotus root in his hand for money first, and then go to buy fish fry and duck cubs.

Manjinglou is not in his plan, so in addition to Lin Huaijin's Juxian Building, he has to go to other restaurants to try his luck, and he can't trouble Lin Huaijin in everything.

The three of them discussed, came to a restaurant with a large scale looking at the door, and looked up to see that it said "Four Seas Restaurant".

Without hesitation, the two brothers walked in with a basket of washed white lotus roots, it is not yet time to eat, there are not a few guests in the restaurant, Lu Caiqing walked in front of the counter, and asked politely: "May I ask who is the person in charge of the restaurant, I have something to sell." ”

Standing inside the counter was an old man in his fifties, he raised his eyes to look at the slender and tall girl in front of him, and saw her long and beautiful eyebrows frowning faintly, sweeping shallow dimples on her delicate face, which made him look surprisingly and added a playful heart.

"I'm the shopkeeper of this restaurant, and I'm also the owner here, what does the girl want to sell?" Shopkeeper Hu asked.

"Lotus root!" Lu Caiqing's faint tone highlighted two words.

"Oh~ Girl, don't be joking, that lotus root is a rare thing, only in the capital and a little south of the city, even if our restaurant needs too much, dare to ask where did you get the lotus root?"

"Boss!"

"Just call me the shopkeeper!"

"Hu shopkeeper! This is my own growing, so it's much cheaper than your custom one. I have inquired about the market of this lotus root, the lotus root you ordered from other places costs 40 yuan a pound, and it is not so fresh to transport it to our Jeju City, my family is different, it is close to this, it does not take half a day to transport, and the price can be half cheaper. Lu Caiqing said confidently.

"What's half cheaper, is it only twenty wen a catty?" Shopkeeper Hu was a little unconvinced, and asked again.

"Yes, and my house has five acres of lotus ponds, and the water is full of lotus roots, big and white, see if you want to buy it?" Lu Caiqing asked sincerely.

Shopkeeper Hu thought for a while and said: "Seeing that your little girl is full of cleverness, honest talk, and fair prices, I will * some, but my small restaurant business, but not much?" ”

"Boss Hu! I see that the scale of your restaurant is only under the Manjing Building and Juxian Building, at a glance you are a person who will do business, your business is so good, there must be a lot of guests, my lotus root is fresh and cheap, you are adjusting the price appropriately, small profits and quick sales of this Hu shopkeeper than I know it! Lu Caiqing praised the boss for a long time, just to buy more lotus roots for him.

"The little girl's brain is really good! It's also neat, okay! For the sake of freshness, I'll order 300 catties a week! Shopkeeper Hu calculated and gave a total.

Song Ziyu and the brothers were very happy to hear it, that is, they earned six taels a week, four weeks a month, that is, twenty-four taels, and they paid for this pool of lotus? The two were immersed in joy when they heard Lu Caiqing speak again.

"Hu shopkeeper's doing things is too conservative, three hundred catties is enough for you to use such a big restaurant, you look at the so-called small profits and quick turnover, your restaurant will attract low-rise customers to eat here, a pound of lotus root is not even willing to eat for the rich, you can eat at will, do you say that your three hundred catties are enough?"

Lu Caiqing saw that he hesitated, and said: "As far as I know, our restaurants in Jeju City that are more advanced than you belong to the two I just mentioned, and their main consumer groups are medium and high-end customers. ”

When the shopkeeper Hu heard Lu Caiqing pinch this, he immediately felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood, as if he had seen the overcrowding of his restaurant now.

"Give me five hundred pounds! Pick up the goods regularly every week, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. ”

"Thank you to the owner! Then you see, we have brought the samples, you see if you want to stay. Lu Caiqing asked tentatively.

"Stay! It just so happened that we hadn't had time to receive the ordered lotus roots. weighed the money directly, Miss Lu, you are really condescending if you don't do business. ”

"The shopkeeper just calls me Caiqing! These two are my father-in-law and uncle, and I will trouble the shopkeeper in the future. ”

Everyone politely greeted a few words, and after signing the order, they took the lotus root sample money of just fifty catties, one or two silver, Ziwu weighed it and said, "Sister-in-law!" I've found that it's easy to make money in your head, and it's easier to earn it in minutes than it is for ordinary people to work for a year. ”

"Hey! Follow me and learn a little. But this autumn harvest is over, what should be sold is sold, our north is not good, grain can only be planted one stubble, this year the people are no harvest, how can this year be lived! ”

"Little daughter-in-law! Don't sigh all the time, aren't we going out to buy fish fry and duck cubs now? After another three or five months, it will be another income, why are you still worried? Song Ziyu comforted her, thinking about her worry, she would have no income in the past few months.

"Hey! I don't know what I'm worried about, forget it, anyway, I'm selling the lotus root today, let's go! Let's go to Manjinglou for a meal. Lu Caiqing cheered up and said refreshedly.

"What? Little daughter-in-law! Why do we still have to go to his restaurant, didn't we say that we wouldn't have anything to do with him anymore? ”

"Yes, sister-in-law! Aren't we going to cut off all contact with him? Why do you have to go to his house for dinner! Song Ziwu was also confused.

"We had an agreement with him that there was no time limit for selling ducks, and I wanted to make it clear to her, and the sales contract with him would be terminated in the future, so that my ducks could be sold to others." Lu Caiqing explained to them.

"Oh! I almost forgot, it turns out that there is such a contract, didn't we just take the deposit for the duck, and the duck was also recycled, why did we have to send him here again.? Song Ziyu asked incomprehensibly.

"When I signed the contract, I agreed with him, I thought it was a long-term cooperation, and he was in high demand, so I signed an indefinite contract with him, oops! It's because I'm too greedy, I think I'll hold on to it if I find a golden rice bowl, who thinks that his mind will be used on our fourth brother, maybe he will sell Yun Ge when he is, so such a person, don't pay it! ”

"Don't think about it! Little daughter-in-law, let's go and find out with him, and terminate the cooperative relationship with him, even if the family is bankrupt, we can't let Yun Ge suffer, that child is bitter enough. ”

Lu Caiqing nodded silently, and the three of them pulled the ox cart all the way to the front of Bai Xiaoran's Manjing Building.

It was almost ten noon when they were going around, Ziwu tied the ox cart to the stable not far away, and the three of them entered the restaurant, and the hall on the first floor was already full of people, which was in stark contrast to the restaurant just now.

Song Ziwu suddenly spoke: "Big brother! I really suspect that the restaurant just received our lotus root, and with my sister-in-law's suggestion, his restaurant is not as good as here. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, it wasn't a meal when we just went, and now it's just the time when we first got started, so there are naturally a lot of people in other restaurants." Song Ziyu reminded his second brother and said.

Lu Caiqing listened and added: "Brother Song is right, it's just a meal now, but there must be a problem with his business model, otherwise it would not be so deserted, I hope he can prosper according to what I said." ”

Everyone in the restaurant knew Lu Caiqing, and when they saw her come in, they hurriedly greeted: "Miss Lu, you're here!" Today the boss happened to bring a guest, in the restaurant. ”

"That's good! Let's go up and find a private room, you can serve a few dishes casually, and by the way, tell your boss that I am here. Lu Caiqing commanded at him.

Xiao Er heard this and quickly took the three of them to the private room on the second floor, and after a while, a few dishes were served, and Lu Caiqing asked, "What about your boss?" ”

"Oh! My boss was having dinner with the young lady of the Zhao family, and he said that he would come after a while! The shopkeeper said.

"The Zhao family? Miss Zhao Ruomei? Lu Caiqing asked tentatively.

"That's right! I've been a young man here for so long, and it's the first time I've seen the boss take a female guest to dinner? It seems that good things are coming to our boss. ”

Lu Caiqing shook his chopsticks when he heard this, stood up and said, "Where is your boss?" Take me to him. ”

"Miss Lu! Why are you suddenly angry, my boss is in the private room at the top of the stairs, he said......"

"Say what? If he doesn't come, I'll look for him, so you can go out first! Lu Caiqing said to the puzzled Xiao Er.

Xiao Er drew a fox in his heart, and he didn't know why Miss Lu, who looked so kind, suddenly got angry. But he scratched his head and walked out.

Song Ziyu stood up and said, "Little daughter-in-law! Don't be offended! He'll be over in a moment, don't be angry! ”

"It's my sister-in-law! After a while, I questioned him, why did he make a fox friend and dog friend, bullying the fourth brother during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he turned out to be a sanctimonious playboy, I really misjudged him, if he admitted that he was such a person, I would beat him all over the ground looking for teeth. Song Ziwu clenched his fists and was eager to teach him a lesson.

When Lu Caiqing saw it, he hurriedly said, "Look at it!" You're so angry before you do, you stay here with your big brother, eat more, and I'll be back in a while. ”

"Little daughter-in-law!"

"Brother Song! I have to do things for a while, people are iron and steel, and I can only do things when I am full, I will go back, and I will come back after a showdown with him, and I will not go to fight, I will be back in a while. After Lu Caiqing finished speaking, he also revealed a reassuring look.
