"Uncle Pan, business is good lately!" As soon as he came in, Pan Tiezhu handed a cigarette to a fat, middle-aged man.

"Not bad, not bad." The middle-aged man chuckled and accepted the cigarette.

Pan Tiezhu took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for Pan Pan.

"Thank you!" Pan Pan took a drag and skillfully exhaled layers of smoke rings. "Zhu Zi, tell Uncle what you need, and Uncle will get it for you."

Pan Pan had watched Pan Tiezhu grow up since she was a child, and she still had a lot of affection for him.

"Okay!" Pan Tiezhu went straight to the freezer and rummaged through it, moving all the popsicles and frozen foods aside before finally finding several bags of duck carcasses, duck wings, duck necks, and duck heads at the very bottom...

Duck products are usually frozen, so Yu Hui didn't specify any requirements, as long as he could buy them.

Pan Pan frowned, somewhat puzzled by Pan Tiezhu's behavior.

What is Zhu Zi doing?

Why did you move all the popsicles away? Isn't he the one who loves popsicles the most?

Just as he was wondering, Pan Tiezhu slammed the bags of duck products onto the cash register with a "thud".

"Uncle Pan, how much are these? I'll take them all!" Pan Tiezhu said, wiping the sweat from his face.

"You want all of these?" Pan Pan's mouth was practically crooked with a grin. "Duck carcass is 70 yuan, duck neck is 90 yuan, duck wings are 69 yuan, and duck heads are 180 yuan, all for one bag."

Upon hearing this, Pan Tiezhu pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Could you make it cheaper?"

He had previously purchased goods from Yu Hui and had witnessed Yu Hui's bargaining skills firsthand.

The beef, which originally cost 40 yuan per pound, was cut down to 28 yuan, saving 12 yuan in cost per pound.

You can save hundreds of dollars a day, that's terrifying!

This time, Pan Tiezhu also plans to learn how to bargain.

Having followed Yu Hui for so long, he also knew the approximate profit margin of ingredients.

Before coming here, he also checked and found that the profit margin for duck products is about 45% to 55%.

There's still a lot of room for negotiation.

Pan Pan's face darkened upon hearing this. He was already very stingy, and he would break and crumble every penny he had, let alone ask him for a discount.

"If we have a good working relationship, I will buy all my products from you from now on. You know my boss's business is very good; he can sell dozens of kilograms a day."

Pan Tiezhu saw his concerns and decided to play the long game.

Such a long-term and stable return would be irresistible to anyone.

As expected, Pan Pan wavered.

He was not only stingy, but also a cunning and shrewd businessman, so he naturally knew the stakes involved.

“Okay, then I’ll sell it to you at the lowest price. Happy cooperation!” Pan Pan extended his hand without hesitation.

Pan Tiezhu never expected that he could easily handle the matter by only learning a little bit of Yu Hui's skills.

He thought that if Uncle Pan disagreed, he would call Yu Hui immediately.

After buying the duck products, Pan Tiezhu carried them back and forth seven or eight times before finally moving all the ingredients to his dormitory.

He was panting heavily, lying on the floor, utterly dejected.

At this moment, Yu Hui had finished preparing most of the dishes and was just waiting to process the freshly purchased ingredients.

As soon as he stepped out of the kitchen, he saw a huge lump of food piled on the floor.

"Zhu Zi, these jobs are really suitable for you. If you did them every day, you might lose a lot of weight." Yu Hui teased him as he bent down to pick up the ingredients.

"Brother Yu Hui, stop teasing me. Even if I exercise every day, it won't help!"

Why?

"Because your cooking is so delicious, I can't help but eat a few extra bites every day. Even if I exercise more, I'll only go from a weak fat person to a strong fat person!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Hui burst into laughter, as if it were indeed true!

Pan Tiezhu snorted coldly upon seeing this and turned his head away.

"It's okay. As long as you want to lose weight, I have a way, provided you're determined!"

Upon hearing this, Pan Tiezhu turned his head away again.

"Are you determined?" Yu Hui asked again. After spending so much time together, he had gained a deeper understanding of Pan Tiezhu.

Actually, he's a good person with good learning abilities. He's not as hopeless as Uncle San and Aunt Wang said.

The main reason I've become this fat, lazy bum is that I can't control my eating and I lack self-control.

With personal supervision, good results can definitely be achieved.

"Yes!" Pan Tiezhu nodded heavily.

"That's good. From now on, you can't eat anything other than three meals a day, especially at night!"

"All right......"

After discussing this topic, the two entered the tense process of preparing the ingredients.

Today's workload is about double that of the previous few days, because I have to cook several more pots of food.

I was busy until after midnight before I finally managed to set up my stall.

On the other side.

The food street vendors were also waiting for the afterglow to set up their stalls.

The boxed meals at Yu Hui are delicious and relatively affordable in the scenic area, so many vendors are willing to pay for them.

Especially Xiong Bowen, Ye Qian, and Aunt Zhang, they haven't missed a single visit these days, at least once a day.

A few days ago, Liu Qing bought some braised beef and immediately went from being a hater to a fan.

I felt uncomfortable if I didn't buy it for a day.

He ripped off tourists—I mean, he spent almost all the money he made selling instant noodles on Yu Hui.

I sold instant noodles for a week and didn't make a single penny!

Sometimes they even pay out of their own pocket...

But things have been different these past two days.

Knowing that Liu Qing liked to cause trouble, Xiong Bowen kept a close eye on him to prevent him from causing trouble for Yu Hui.

Xiong Bowen was covered in tattoos and spoke in a sleazy manner. Liu Qing, who was used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, was most afraid of this kind of gangster.

Liu Qing was afraid of being beaten, so he has been hiding at his own stall for the past two days and hasn't gone there to make a purchase.

"That damn tattoo guy, he's been staring at me all day long. Is he secretly in love with me?" Liu Qing gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

Yu Hui only sets up his stall at noon today. He originally planned to buy a serving of braised beef and run away when Xiong Bowen wasn't paying attention.

To his surprise, as soon as he stepped out of his stall, he received a gloomy and terrifying look from Xiong Bowen.

This startled Liu Qing quite a bit, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He bent down in a feigned manner, then turned back to his stall.

"You bastard, I'm patronizing your brother's business, and you treat me like this!" Liu Qing was so angry that his teeth itched.

On the other side.

"Achoo, achoo..."

Xiong Bowen sneezed four or five times in a row. He touched his head, looking puzzled.

"What the heck? Did I get heatstroke from the air conditioning yesterday?"

If he knew it was Liu Qing who was talking behind his back, he would definitely tear him apart immediately...

Xiong Bowen always thought Liu Qing had gone to cause trouble for Yu Hui, so he kept glaring at him.

If he knew they were there to support his business, he would not only avoid causing trouble, but would also treat them with sincerity.

"Never mind!"

Xiong Bowen shook his head and quickly walked to Yu Hui's stall.

"Wow, so many new gadgets?"
