Shopkeeper Cheng pondered for a moment. “Then what is the price in the heart of the Gu family’s wife?” Cai Xiaolian stretched out her hand and made a one. “One hundred?”Shopkeeper Cheng was stunned, then nodded and said, “This price is also suitable. Although we don’t have much profit here, the advantage is that it’s fresh and can make money.” Cai Xiaolian smiled and shook her head. Her index finger swayed left and right. “Shopkeeper Cheng, I mean ten times. The price you just said is ten times.” Manager Cheng and Lu Zheng were both surprised. The other three members of the Gu family were not surprised. They were very calm. “Lady Gu, Are You... Are you kidding me? Ten Times? Five Hundred Wen? Five Hundred Wen can buy a lot of chilies and rice.”Manager Cheng did not expect Cai Xiaolian to make such a big deal. How could she say it! “Manager Cheng, I have just calculated our account. Now I will help you calculate your account.”Cai Xiaolian smiled calmly, “A plate of return pot meat is sold for 300 wen in your shop. “Return pot meat with dregs of sea pepper can be sold for 400 wen or more, while a plate of return pot meat with dregs of sea pepper can only be sold for two taels at most. “500 wen per catty. That’s 50 wen per tael. “And if you fry dregs of sea pepper alone, a plate can only be sold for three taels at most. The cost is 150 wen. You can sell it for 200 to 300 wen. In other words, you can earn half the money.” “Of course, the dregs of sea pepper is sold to you alone. The people of Yuzhou Prefecture, the capital of Qingzhou, are all fond of spicy food. Just now, you saw the customer who asked about the dregs of sea pepper in the hall. When the time comes, the number of customers who will come to eat for this plate will definitely be much more than usual! The benefits that will be brought are not small.” “Her father, did I make a mistake?” After Cai Xiaolian finished speaking, she turned to look at Gu Shouxin. “Her mother, you didn’t make a mistake. That’s how you calculated it.”Gu shouxin nodded. “Two hundred Wen!”Manager Cheng still felt that five hundred Wen was more than what he had expected. After all, they were doing business, so it was common to lower the price. “Five Hundred Wen!”Cai Xiaolian was very determined. “Two hundred and fifty!” “Five hundred!” “Three hundred!” “Five hundred!” Manager Cheng was anxious, and his forehead was sweating. “Four hundred!”Manager Cheng added one hundred. After saying that, he wiped his forehead, not giving Cai Xiaolian a chance to speak, “Second master Gu, Gu’s wife, don’t make things difficult for me. Four hundred is my final limit. I Can’t go any higher! Any higher and I really can’t!” “Manager Cheng, what are you doing? It’s like we’re forcing you.”Cai Xiaolian looked hesitant and then said, “How about four hundred taels! Sigh, it’s not easy for everyone!” “Yes, yes, yes, yes. Lady Gu is right!”Manager Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. He wanted to curse in his heart. which village did this village woman come from? How could she speak so well? In the end, the two sides reached an agreement to deliver the goods once every three days. Each time, they would deliver 100 catties. Shopkeeper Cheng was worried that they would not be able to deliver the goods. He even stated in the agreement that if one side did not deliver the goods on time, they would have to compensate ten times the purchase price. The Gu family was not worried about this. After they planted the chilies in the later stages, they made a few more cans. After three days, they would be able to produce 100 catties. 100 catties was their limit. They couldn’t rely on this to make money! “Father, mother, sister, we can give the cake to Uncle Cheng! Uncle Cheng bought our dregs of sea pepper. What if he likes the cake too? Our cake tastes as good as the cake just now.”Manager Cheng sent them to the door, gu Xin stopped and said crisply.
