"Later I'll ask the eldest to bring the silver and go back with you, he knows a bit more about what needs to be purchased." The old man said.
"Okay, thank you, brother."
On the other side of the Mrs. Zhang's and Mrs. Li's heard this finally agreed down, after their natal family also has money to earn. They were very happy. Seeing that my mother-in-law was going to the kitchen to cook, the two of them took Mrs. Wang's arm and walked towards the kitchen together.
...
After dinner, Xu Dabo drove with the two families back to their village, want to early this thing down, Xu Laoer also followed, after all, this business also has a share of his father-in-law, they also need to perform well, can't let his big brother get busy alone.
"Tomorrow, let the eldest make another run and invite Shopkeeper Tong to come over to our home to discuss the price." The old man said.
When the two Xu brothers returned, each of them was exhausted.
The old man asked: "How is it? Have you bought the yard?"
Uncle Xu Dabo took a sip of water and said: "Bought it, that yard is really not small, it can accommodate several dozens of people at once, and Laoer and I went to buy several stone mills and put them there, and all the other things are ready, just waiting to be able to start work."
The old man smiled and said: "That's good, tomorrow when you go to town give me a word with Shopkeeper Tong, negotiate a good price and we can start work."
Xu Laoer asked: "Dad, what kind of price are you and Qibao going to negotiate?"
Qibao replied: "I plan to sell it to Zuixianlou for no less than twenty cents per pound, what do you think?"
The old man thought it was appropriate. Although the price was not low, the potato flour was worth the price.
The next day, Uncle Xu and Shopkeeper Tong came to the Xu family together.
Shopkeeper Tong said: "I heard your family eldest say that your family agreed to make potato flour for our Zuixianlou?"
The old man smiled and said: "Yes, so today I invite shopkeeper Tong to come and discuss this matter with us."
Shopkeeper Tong smiled and said: "I also heard that you have already found a workshop? And you plan to let your in-laws do this business?"
"Yes, Shopkeeper Tong, you also know that my family is very busy right now, but we've had our share of this potato flour, and it definitely all tastes just as good."
"Your family isn't afraid that the price won't be negotiated properly, so isn't your work in vain?" Shopkeeper Tong asked.
How can Qibao not understand what Shopkeeper Tong means, it is nothing more than wanting to lower the price, so he deliberately said so, therefore, Qibao replied: "Grandpa Tong it's nothing, even if my family and Zuixianlou can't cooperate with this vermicelli business, then there are other restaurants, they will surely seize it, and I not only know how to make potato vermicelli, there is also sweet potato vermicelli, which tastes just as good as the potato vermicelli!"
Shopkeeper Tong suffered a loss and said with a smile: "You girl, you are eating me up, well, in that case, how much are you going to sell us for a pound?"
Qibao said: "Twenty cents per pound without any counter-offer!"
Shopkeeper Tong said: "Girl, this is too much, isn't it? This is more expensive than your vegetables and meat!"
"Of course it's expensive for a reason, because it's more filling than vegetables, and you can buy meat wherever you go, but this vermicelli is only available in my home, and the price is already low. Shopkeeper Tong, you may not know how many potatoes it takes to make one pound of potato flour. Including labor, I think the price is a bit low. Considering that brother Chenyu and I know each other, this is already a friendly price."
Shopkeeper Tong smiled bitterly and said: "You're a good talker. Even I, a shopkeeper who has been in business for so many years, can't talk to you. You are the first person to ask me to give in in a business situation."
"So, Grandpa Tong, do you agree?" Qibao asked.
"What can I do if I don't agree? I'm going to be eaten up by this girl like you. If the negotiation doesn't work out, my master will definitely blame me."
"Okay, since Grandpa Tong agrees, we will start making potato flour tomorrow, but the agreement still needs to be signed." Qibao said.
"There is no problem in signing the agreement, but I just heard what the girl said about sweet potato flour. Can sweet potatoes also be made into vermicelli?" Shopkeeper Tong asked.
"Yes, sweet potatoes are easy to handle. Every farmer will grow sweet potatoes, but it's not yet time for the sweet potatoes to mature, so we can only make potato flour first." Qibao replied.
"Sure, then I'll wait for you to finish making the first batch of potato flour, and then have Chu Yun deliver it to various restaurants together with the vegetables." Shopkeeper Tong said.
"No problem, then we will send the potatoes to the workshop today and let them make them early."
"Okay, we have concluded the potato flour business, but what about the fruit wine business..." Shopkeeper Tong asked.
"As for this fruit wine, I plan to take the high-end route. This bottle won't be cheap. Grandpa Tong can also ask for it, but I don't know if Grandpa Tong can accept the price." Qibao said.
"Well, then I'll go back and write a letter to discuss it with my master." He knew that this wine was extraordinary. Although he didn't know how much Qibao planned to sell it for, he thought it was not cheap. He heard that the last time his master brought back this wine, the old man at home and his master's father almost fought over it, but still The old man used his superiority as an elder to gain possession of the wine.
"Okay, it will take some time before the wine leaves the altar, so there's no rush."
"Then I'll take my leave and go back. I'll visit you again when I have time."
"Okay, Grandpa Tong, please walk slowly."
After sending shopkeeper Tong out, the Xu family returned to the house and sat down. The old man said: "Eldest, later on, you will go to the greenhouse field and let the workers dig more potatoes out, then send them to your father-in-law, and if possible, let your father-in-law discuss with the villagers in his village to see if they can plant more sweet potatoes, and then we'll pay to buy them out, which is also a lot more convenient."
Xu Dabo replied: "Sure, I'll go later, I guess they're willing, who else can be bothered with silver!"
After everything was said, everyone dispersed and went about their own business.
Qibao entered the space, and the two little white wolves had grown into two big white wolves. Although they were still underage, they looked really majestic.
Qibao wondered if she should put these two into the Daqing Mountain to have a good experience, these two are almost raised to be vegetarians, eating fruits from space every day, probably they have forgotten that they are supposed to be meat eaters.
Sensing the location of Xiaoling, she saw that he was currently lying on his back on the back of a horse, with one leg still resting on the other, and his little foot still in place a little bit.
Qibao was amused and walked over to his side and spoke: "What are you thinking about, Xiaoling?"
Xiaoling replied: "Master, shouldn't you take a few people as your subordinates, so that you don't have to do things yourself in the future."
Qibao said: "Of course I've thought about this matter, but I don't have a suitable candidate right now, the person I want must be loyal to me, after all, I have too many secrets, it's inevitable that they'll be found out if they follow me for a long time!"
Xiaoling, however, didn't care at all and said smugly: "Since I said so, there must be a way to do it, Master just identify the right people. I guarantee that after passing through my hands, they will be absolutely loyal to you. If you let them die, they will wipe their own necks without saying a word."
