Da Niu was overjoyed and quickly got up to greet them.

After everyone entered and exchanged pleasantries, Da Niu led them to the guest rooms upstairs.

Shu Yu didn't say anything. She could leave the order to Da Niu and Da Zhuang. She quietly followed the others upstairs.

No one knew her, but seeing that Da Niu didn't stop her, they didn't say anything more.

Since these merchants have come, they are obviously sure they will buy instant noodles. As for how much, they can sit down and discuss it slowly.

Some were bought for their own consumption, while two were intended for resale in their hometowns.

However, although Da Niu brought a lot of goods this time, they were all meant to supply the shops in Changjin Prefecture. If he bought them for his own use or to give away, he could free up some of them, but it was clearly not enough to purchase more goods.

Da Niu explained the situation to them. After all, it was a novel food, and they could try a small amount first to see the effects. If sales were high, they could place a large order in Dong'an Prefecture.

Da Niu negotiated with them and quickly finalized the price and quantity.

They exchanged addresses, and if things go well, they'll definitely want to work together again next time.

Shu Yu remained silent throughout the entire process, only taking two steps forward when the merchants brought out the goods they had brought.

Clearly, these people not only want to buy the big shots' products, but also want to make money off them.

"Manager Lu, take a look. These are calligraphy brushes produced by our Xu family. Although they have nothing to do with your food shop, you can still buy a batch and sell them to the local bookstores."

"Hey, the local bookstores all have stable supply channels, so calligraphy brushes aren't suitable. Our Liu family sells top-notch dried fruit, you should try it. If you put this in a food shop and sell it with instant noodles, it'll definitely sell well."

"Your dried fruit is too sweet. Our Mao family's sauce is the perfect match. It goes perfectly with your instant noodles. Our Mao family's sauce is a family secret recipe. Manager Lu, you should try it."

Lu Daniu, “…” Good heavens, can he even warm up the silver notes he just received in his arms?

He couldn't help but look at Shu Yu, and everyone subconsciously followed his gaze. They were then stunned. Manager Lu... what are you looking at this girl for?

Shu Yu stepped forward and first examined the Xu family's calligraphy brush.

This calligraphy brush is of superior quality; it must be quite expensive.

When Meng Yunzheng's academy opens, it will need a lot of writing materials, including brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones. Buying them from bookstores would be expensive, but wholesaling them would be much cheaper.

However, as a beginner, one cannot yet use such a fine brush.

Shu Yu pondered for a moment, then asked the Xu family steward, "Do you have any other calligraphy brushes?"

"Yes, they're all on the boat, currently docked at the pier." The Xu family steward looked at her suspiciously. "Does the young lady want to buy them?"

"Take me to see it."

Manager Xu perked up. "Sure, shall we go now? We have not only calligraphy brushes, but also Xuan paper, ink sticks, and Yantai ink. The young lady can choose whatever she likes. If we buy in bulk, the price is negotiable."

"Let's take a look at the items first."

"Alright, please, miss."

The other managers were stunned. No one expected that the Xu family's calligraphy brushes, which were the least compatible with the food that Lu Ji was selling, would stand out and attract Lu Ji's attention. This was too outrageous.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Da Niu, who coughed lightly and said, "Let's go, let's go to the dock first."
