Li Yun, a rural woman from the 21st century, had a car accident. Her soul transmigrated to the body of a woman in ancient times who shared the same name.
Her home was bare, but she wasn't...
"In that case, I won't force you. If Madam Li has a big business next time, you must cooperate with me." Ouyang Mingxuan also knew that it was impossible for the other party to cooperate with him in everything, but he just hoped that there would be another opportunity for cooperation next time.
"Don't worry, next time we have business, I will definitely cooperate with Prince Ouyang.
Shall we talk about the seasonings?" We've been in the restaurant for quite some time, and if we don't go buy some, it'll be dark soon.
"I want to add a lot of seasonings, one thousand kilograms of MSG, one thousand kilograms of chicken essence, one thousand kilograms of soup powder, two thousand kilograms of soy sauce, one thousand kilograms of oyster sauce, one thousand kilograms of dark soy sauce, twenty thousand kilograms of fine salt, and is there any more peanut oil?" Thinking of the thirty-eight restaurants, a lot of seasonings are needed every month.
“Except peanut oil, everything else is available.
Prince Ouyang wants so many seasonings, can they be used?
"They only have a shelf life of a few months. After that, they can't be used," Li Yun said to Ouyang Mingxuan.
“It’s enough, this is only enough for one month.
Is peanut oil really gone? "Peanut oil is the soul of cooking. It would be a shame if it were gone.
"I've kept a hundred pounds for my own use. If Prince Ouyang really needs it, I can sell it to you.
I'm going to plant peanuts, and in a few months, I'll have plenty of peanut oil." Actually, there's a lot of peanut oil on the Haoduoduo shopping platform, but Li Yun doesn't want to sell it; it's too much to explain.
“Growing peanuts?
Madam Li also knows how to grow peanuts?
If Madam Li is planting peanuts, could you let me see how it's done?" Ouyang Mingxuan didn't expect Madam Li to plant peanuts, and he wanted to see it too.
"Sure. If Prince Ouyang is still in Qingshan County, I'll have someone notify him to come and plant peanuts." Li Yun said politely to Ouyang Mingxuan.
“Okay, it’s a deal.
When can Madam Li prepare these seasonings?" Ouyang Mingxuan wanted to know the date.
"Three days later, Prince Ouyang sent people to Southeast Town to transport seasonings.
I'll leave the seasoning at the Huimin Restaurant in Dongnan Town and give it to the owner." The three-day period was just a deception; she could take it out anytime she wanted, but she couldn't do that because it would easily arouse suspicion.
"Okay, three days later, I'll send someone to Southeast Town to get the seasoning. By then, we can settle the payment together, okay?" Ouyang Mingxuan said to Li Yun.
"Okay, I'll pay you after I deliver the goods." Li Yun had no objection to this. She had the money anyway.
"Ms. Li, do you think the price should remain the same as before?" Ouyang Mingxuan said to Li Yun.
"I won't charge the original price anymore, since your restaurant needs so many seasonings and I don't have that many clay pots.
How about this, I won’t use ceramic bottles to bottle those seasonings. I’ll just pack them in a big bucket and give it to you. You can take it and bottle it yourself in ceramic bottles.
The prices are cheaper than before. Chicken essence, MSG, and bone broth are 200 wen per catty; oyster sauce, soy sauce, and dark soy sauce are 1 liang per catty; peanut oil is 2 liang per catty; and salt remains the same price, 5 liang per catty. What do you think? "Li Yun was overwhelmed at the thought of buying clay pots on many shopping platforms.
It’s better to buy a big bucket and put them all together, then let them take it back and divide it themselves. She would be willing to pay less.
"Okay, let's do this. We'll calculate the amount of silver and then issue you a receipt.
We'll deliver the goods in three days and pay you." Ouyang Mingxuan was satisfied with the price.
"MSG, chicken essence, and soup powder weigh a total of 3,000 jin, 200 wen per jin, which is 600 liang. Soy sauce, old cooking oil, and oyster sauce weigh a total of 4,000 jin, so the total is..."
"The total is 104,800 taels." Li Yun interrupted Ouyang Mingxuan's counting.
"What?" Ouyang Mingxuan was calculating seriously and devotedly when he was interrupted by Li Yun, who said a string of inexplicable numbers, leaving Ouyang Mingxuan, who was still in his trance, confused.
"Prince Ouyang, I said the total cost of the seasoning is 14800 taels." Li Yun said to the confused Ouyang Mingxuan.
"Madam Li, you said the price of those seasonings is 14,800 taels in total?
"But, this prince hasn't even figured out half of it, and you've already figured it out?" Ouyang Mingxuan looked incredulous.
He has been using the abacus for so many years, and no one has ever surpassed him.
Now Madam Li told him that she had already calculated the total price when he had not even finished half of the calculation. How could he believe it?
"Yes, it is one hundred and four thousand eight hundred taels. If Prince Ouyang doesn't believe it, I can wait for Prince Ouyang to calculate it and see if I am right." Li Yun was still very confident in his mental arithmetic in his previous life.
She is in elementary school and is best at math.
Ouyang Mingxuan began to calculate seriously again. After a cup of tea, he finally figured it out. When he compared it with Li Yun, the numbers were all correct. Ouyang Mingxuan was so happy that he smiled from ear to ear.
"Madam Li, how did you calculate it?
The speed is really fast?
Did you know?
There are not many people in the capital who can beat me. They all say that I am a fortune teller.
Now that I see Madam Li, I finally understand what the saying "There are mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people" means.
From now on, Madam Li will be a fortune teller.
Madam Li, can you tell me what method you used to calculate it just now? Can you teach me?" Ouyang Mingxuan has always believed that he is a divine calculator and he has always been proud of his calculations.
Once, at a palace banquet, these children of powerful and wealthy people were competing to see who could calculate faster and more accurately.
In the end, he won and took home the championship.
The emperor also praised him and awarded him a golden abacus, which made those playboys envious to death.
