The words "business talk" popped into Shen Jia's mind. She immediately realized something big was about to happen, and immediately raised her lips. "In that case, please enter through the small door on the left. We'll talk in the backyard."

"That's perfect."

When Manager He of Huicuilou heard this, he knew something was up, so he responded immediately and followed Shen Jia through the small door to the backyard.

In the backyard, Shen Hao was cleaning a tofu mold. When he saw Shen Jia bringing a stranger, he immediately stopped what he was doing and called out in confusion, "Jia Niang?"

Shen Jia nodded to indicate that everything was fine, and instructed Fuqiu who followed in, "Fuqiu, go and pour a cup of tea for the distinguished guest. We have something important to discuss.

Please take a seat! What is your name, sir?

After Shen Jia waited for the two to sit down, he began to investigate each other's identities.

Shopkeeper He did not hesitate, "Boss Shen, there is no need to go to so much trouble. My surname is He, and I am the owner of the Hui Cui Lou in town.

Your tofu shop has become very famous in the town recently. I came here because of your reputation. It happened that the servants at home bought some yesterday and presented them to the elders in my family. After eating it, they could tell that the tofu was extraordinary.

I'm also in the food business, so I'm well aware of the value of what Boss Shen has. That's why I hurried here today to discuss a business deal with Boss Shen.

"So we're quite compatible. Boss He, please let us know if you have any ideas."

"I hope you'll be kind enough to supply my restaurant with a certain amount of tofu every day. And I hope you'll only supply this tofu to my restaurant in town. The rest of the tofu is sold to ordinary people in bulk, and it doesn't fall into this category."

He Qian felt that he was now desperate and had to seek help from anywhere. Pinxianglou, his mortal enemy, had recently suddenly invited a chef from the provincial capital, which had suddenly put his business under great pressure.

If he didn't find another way out, the restaurant would probably close down soon. As soon as he heard about the new thing in town, he knew his chance had come. He had to get it before his rivals did and get it firmly in his hands.

When Shen Jia heard what Manager He said, he immediately thought of the regional protection policy in his previous life, but why should he agree to him?

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Oh? Then I can provide things to Shopkeeper He, and what can Shopkeeper He give to our tofu shop?"

When it comes to business, if you want to give up some of your profits, you must always come up with something new to make up for it. Empty talk is not a solid model.

He Qian didn't want to underestimate the other party. Just from the information he got from the conversation, he knew that the other party was also an extraordinary person. In fact, a woman like her was the mastermind.

"Of course, I won't let Boss Shen do business that will lose money.

As long as you are willing to supply my restaurant exclusively, in addition to the tofu silver I should pay, I will also pay your shop an additional 5 taels per month for the cost of your shop."

"Five taels" is currently equivalent to half of the silver Shen Jia earns in a month, but Shen Jia believes that her shop will definitely earn more than this in the future. However, it is still acceptable to her at the moment. A restaurant may not be able to buy so much tofu in a month.

Knowing that the other party was an honest person, Shen Jia nodded and said, "However, this contract is only signed for one year for the time being."

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

He Qian didn't expect that Shen Jia actually had such a condition, and his mind was torn between two things for a moment.

Shen Jia raised his hand to stop them. "I believe that by next year, Manager He will have completely crushed the other restaurant. Naturally, this restrictive treaty will be meaningless."

“Hahahahahahaha!

Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your kind words. In that case, can we make the order? Our restaurant will deliver 50 kilograms a day for now. I will come again when we need to increase the supply in the future."

He Qian also figured it out. He came here just to seek a glimmer of hope. As long as he could get through this difficult time, this treaty would have no value in the future.

Little did he know that he would regret his short-sightedness in the future.

But for the sake of his own restaurant, he had another idea. Seeing Shen Jia in a good mood, he said, "I heard that Boss Shen donated several recipes for free yesterday. These are valuable things. Boss Shen is really generous!

I just wonder if Boss Shen has any other related tofu recipes that haven't been leaked. Our restaurant can buy them directly. Price is not an issue."

Shen Jia never expected that there would be such an unexpected surprise. Since he had just agreed to cooperate, he would just treat it as a double blessing.

"No problem. I can give Shopkeeper He the recipes for stuffed tofu with meat, West Lake beef soup, Hakka tofu stew, and green onion tofu. However, these dishes will cost a total of one hundred taels. What do you think, Shopkeeper He?"

One hundred taels for four dishes was not beyond He Qian's bottom line. Considering the deliciousness of the tofu, he readily agreed to Shen Jia's conditions.

"In that case, let's sign the contract immediately and start supplying our restaurant the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll get some paper and pen."

Fortunately, Shen Jia inherited the original owner's skills and could write calligraphy in regular script very neatly, just like a contract in his previous life. He wrote down all the conditions and breach of contract clauses between the two people in two copies.

After writing it, He Qian read it and felt that there was no problem. He even began to think that Shen Jia was not an ordinary person. This was a contract that had strong binding force on both parties.

After seeing He Qian off, Shen Hao and Fuqiu, who were watching the business negotiations nearby, immediately came over and took a closer look at the contents on the paper.

"Jia Niang, you're really capable! It's only the second day since we opened, and a restaurant has already come to us asking for supplies. I think the price of this exclusive supply is even higher than what we sell it for. How can you be so clever!"

After seeing the content, Shen Hao directly praised Shen Jia, and admired her in his heart. He thought: Maybe Jia Niang just has such a good business sense.

Fuqiu was even more delighted. She knew that the young lady was not an ordinary person. Nothing she wanted to do would fail. The current development of events was exactly as the young lady had said in Shengjing.

After tidying up the shop, the three of them returned home. As soon as they entered the house, Shen Hao hurriedly announced the good news to others.

This immediately ignited everyone's enthusiasm. They took the contract from Shen Jia's hand and looked at it carefully. Shen Yu even said shamelessly:

"My daughter is just like me. She has her own place in everything she does. It seems that it won't be difficult for the reputation of the shop to spread throughout Linyuan County."

Fame can certainly attract more customers, but it also brings risks. Since Huicuilou started to introduce new dishes made with tofu, some customers in the town have been attracted to his restaurant.

The fact that Shen Jia was cooperating with Huicuilou could not be hidden from other veterans, especially Pinxianglou, which was the sworn enemy of Huicuilou.

The owner of Pinxianglou was throwing a tantrum in the room, and threw the teacup in his hand directly at the waiter who was kneeling on the ground, making a loud noise.

“A bunch of trash!

I'll be away for a few days, and you've given that fellow surnamed He a chance to catch his breath. If I come back later, will we have to give up our position as the number one restaurant in Ning'an Town?

What are you still standing here for? Go and find out who the other party is!"

"Yes, yes, I'll be there right away."

Not caring about the scalding tea and broken porcelain on his body, the waiter immediately rushed out of the room.

The author has something to say:

I'm really too busy today, so I'll only update 2,000 words for now.
