Chapter 12: Bargaining
Qi Ning deliberately thought about it and said, "Don't mention that first, why don't I make it first, you taste it first, how about we talk about the price when you think it's appropriate?" "She really doesn't know the market here, I'm afraid that I will suffer less and say more will be disgusting, look at these two people have also eaten, it is better to make it first and let them taste it, if they are satisfied, then the initiative will be in their own hands.
Xiao Gongzi smiled and asked, "Are you so relieved?" ”
Qi Ning glanced at him and smiled slightly: "Your family's great business will not pit me a little girl with this bit of silver." In addition, doing business pays attention to sincerity, and since I dare to give you a taste first, I believe in your credibility. ”
After the discussion, Xiao Gongzi's servant took Qi Ning to the kitchen in the backyard, now is not the point to eat, the kitchen is empty, it is estimated that they have all gone to rest. Qi Ning looked around and told the little maid to help her wash the vegetables.
"My name is Xiao An, thank you girl that day."
"You're welcome, I also happened to meet it, and I couldn't see that scoundrel bullying people, so I came out to speak, but I didn't help you anything, and I can't afford to thank you."
About an hour later, Qi Ning poked his head out and said hello, Xiao An, who took the initiative to stand outside the door after washing the dishes, helped serve the dishes, this little guy is not very old but knows how to read people's eyes, presumably he is also a child of a poor family, he was sold at a very young age, and he did the work of serving people. Not to mention the children of the previous life, many are still gnawing at home when they are in their thirties. It's really the children of the poor who are in charge of the house early.
The two of them went up to the private room on the second floor with trays one after the other, put the dishes on the table one by one, and there were still seven or eight left, Xiao An went down alone and called a guy to serve them together.
"This is a shrimp vermicelli pot, but unfortunately it is river shrimp, and it tastes better if there are sea shrimp. This is diced spicy chicken. This is Dongpo meat, fat but not greasy. This is .......," Qi Ning pointed to the dishes and introduced them one by one.
After the introduction, Xiao Gongzi was so attracted by the table of dishes with all the color and flavor that he couldn't take care of, and he ate with a chopstick faster than a chopstick. Shopkeeper Hu didn't wait for the son to speak, and ate after that. The two of them couldn't care about letting Qi Ning sit down while eating. Looking at the eating appearance of these two people, the stone in Qi Ning's heart fell to the ground. Find a stool and sit down, just wait for them to speak.
When the dishes on the table were eaten, Qi Ning went downstairs and brought stewed duck in rice wine: "This dish should have been stewed with ginseng, called ginseng and duck soup, but I didn't find ginseng in the kitchen, so I put rice wine, and stewed duck in rice wine is also a dish." Taste it for two. Qi Ning said that he filled a small half bowl by himself, and then filled a full bowl and handed it to Xiao An, who was standing: "Brother Xiao has worked hard for me for a long time, let's try it together." ”
"This, don't dare, don't dare, how can there be a reason for my son to eat with me. Thank you, girl. Xiao An was so frightened that he hurriedly pushed the bowl in Qi Ning's hand back.
"Miss Qi will give it to you, and you will eat it." Xiao Gongzi burped without looking back, stood up, Xiao An hurriedly brought water and waited for him to wash his hands and face, and when Xiao Gongzi returned to the table and sat down, Xiao An bowed and said, "Little Xie Gongzi rewards." He just stood and ate quietly.
"The girl is really good at cooking, and the recipe for these dishes is something Xiao has never eaten. I don't know what price the girl plans to sell? ”
"Childe might as well come up with a price first, let me refer to it, and if it's suitable, I'll write down the detailed method."
Shopkeeper Hu was full of oil, and embarrassedly took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth and smiled at Qi Ning: "Miss Qi, since you are so sincere, we will give you a fair price, ten taels of silver for each big dish, and five taels of silver for a small stir-fry?" ”
"Shopkeeper Hu is joking with me, not to mention anything else, just this ginseng duck soup and rice wine stewed duck, your restaurant makes it, and the selling price is more than ten taels or twenty taels!"
"Then according to the girl's meaning, how much is the right amount?" Shopkeeper Hu took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth.
"Big dish, thirty taels of silver, just fry twenty taels."
Shopkeeper Hu took a deep breath and was about to talk about price reduction.
Xiao Gongzi shook his head and smiled: "Otherwise, if Miss Qi can believe me, these dishes will be a girl's share." When the time comes, I will give you a commission according to the income of these dishes, and you will also get a share of the more you sell, how about it? ”
Qi Ning was taken aback, secretly thinking that this person was a calculating person looking at Sao Bao, but she didn't want to have a money relationship with this rich, powerful and arrogant person, how could this money be so easy to take? When the time comes, earning more and earning less is still a matter of his words. I've already suffered a loss from Mrs. County Commander, and it's strange that I don't have a long memory.
"The location of your restaurant is good, and there are many customers every day, so the daily flow of water must be very considerable. It is not easy to open a restaurant, and it takes a lot of effort. Even if you make money, it's your family's ability, not just because of the food. I have a small lo-mei shop, I have to get up early every day, I naturally know the hard work, and I can't take advantage of you so much."
Xiao Gongzi remembered that she was wearing an old dress with patches that day, and now she is only wearing a simple and plain cloth skirt, and there is no jewelry on her head, so she knows that she is not rich in money. It's not a person who sees money, and he secretly praises it in his heart. Where did he think that Qi Ning was afraid that he would hack her silver before refusing.
The shopkeeper Hu muttered: "Ten taels of silver in this place can buy an acre of dry land." ”
Xiao Gongzi shook his hand and said, "It's really less." Just follow what Miss Qi said! However, Miss Qi needs to sign a contract with us, and the dishes sold to us cannot be sold by herself in the future, let alone taught to others. ”
Shopkeeper Hu looked at his young master, opened his mouth, and held back his words. This restaurant only earns 1,800 taels of silver a year, and this time it gives so much, what does the young master think?
Xiao Gongzi seemed to see his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Uncle Hu, you are right, our restaurant can't make a lot of money a year." But with Miss Qi's recipe, I can't think of more customers coming in a few days, and as long as the reputation is spread at that time, I will earn more. When the time comes, let the restaurants in other places also go to these, and you will soon be able to return to the capital. He turned his head to Qi Ning and smiled: "Miss Qi, just count it as thirty taels of silver for the big dish and twenty taels for the small stir-fry, do you think so?" ”
"It's still Xiao Gongzi's long-term view. In fact, if this dish sells well, the price will be lower! But selling well depends on your ability. Childe rest assured, I will never teach this dish to others, the agreement can be written clearly, if I leak out of the punishment of Childe, since Childe is so refreshing, I will give Childe two dishes, although this dish is troublesome to make, but the selling price is also high, Childe just ask the chef to do it with confidence, if there is anything you don't understand, I will teach them a few more times. ”
Shopkeeper Hu was stunned when he heard the words of the two! Selling so much money for one dish? If the old man knew whether he would have picked his skin, the young owner had been pampered since he was a child, and he didn't understand the hardships of the people, how could he know that an ordinary farmer couldn't earn twenty taels a year from farming.
Only Qi Ning understands very well in his heart, this is not much, these dishes will be their exclusive dishes in the future, and with these, I am afraid that I will earn more than a few hundred and thirty taels a year. She gets up early and makes braised vegetables greedily at night, and according to her current business, she can earn 100 taels a year. Doesn't the restaurant earn more over time?
But she is not greedy, there are more than a dozen restaurants, she came here empty-handed, compared to sitting on the ground, but she firmly believes that she will one day earn more than now, when the time comes, she will buy more shops for rent, and she doesn't have to work hard every day to wash the pig's intestines, just sit at home and be a happy rent collector.
This small business of lo-mei was originally thought up by himself in a desperate situation, hoping to make some money to make a living. Now that she can get an unexpected income because of this, she is very content, and the smile in her heart can't help but spread to her face.
So, Qi Ning smiled and his eyes crooked: "Please also ask Xiao Gongzi to take out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and write down the recipe." ”
Xiao Gongzi looked at her and smiled and bent his eyebrows, was slightly stunned, and ordered Xiao Fu to present pen and ink, knocked the paper on the table with a fan and said, "Then please Miss Qi write out the recipe carefully." ”
