Chapter 83: Cooperation reached, order of 30,000 kilograms!
Xiao Ying was also a little surprised. She thought that 10,000 kilograms would be enough for the first business.
Of course, this is not her fault. After all, she had never done business in her previous two lives, and she didn't know how strong Ruyi Restaurant was.
But the number and time made it a bit difficult for her.
The family harvested more than 9,000 kilograms of chili peppers, but can only make about 15,000 to 16,000 kilograms. After all, the amount of chili peppers required for spicy sesame oil and spicy sauce is different.
This time I brought 2,400 kilograms, and sold 200 kilograms to the inn, leaving only 2,200 kilograms.
There are still about 2,000 kilograms at home, which means at least 25,500 kilograms more need to be produced.
Now the total daily production of the two kinds of seasonings at home is probably only about 300 kilograms. It must be increased to 1,000 kilograms per day to meet the other party's requirements.
With this calculation, the problem doesn't seem to be big. We just need to purchase another 10,000 kilograms of peppers to meet the production requirements.
There are no more in Chenjia Village and several nearby villages, but there must be some in the entire Hongye Town. If that doesn’t work, you can go to other towns to purchase them.
As for manpower, we can just hire a few more people from the village. With Liu Lan, Qin Guafu and others leading the way, I believe we will be able to get started soon.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ying nodded: "Okay."
Shopkeeper Yun was immediately delighted and looked at her with more appreciation.
He knew that this was actually a very difficult request for a country woman, but the other party dared to agree, which meant that she had already thought of a solution.
Chen Xingyun and Chen Xinghai were a little nervous. With so many seasonings, could their mother really make it?
"That's great! Madam Xiao, if you can deliver on time, I can reward you with another 500 taels of silver."
"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Yun. Since I promised, I will definitely do it."
Xiao Ying became more serious. This was a challenge for her, but also a great opportunity.
By completing such a large order, she would be able to earn 13,000 taels of silver. Even after deducting costs and taxes, she would still have about 10,000 taels left.
This amount of money is basically enough for her to do what she wants.
"Mrs. Xiao is straightforward. I'll have someone draw up a contract right away."
Manager Yun did what he said and immediately asked someone to write a contract according to the requirements. There were three copies of the contract, one for each party, and one copy needed to be submitted to the government.
After the contract was written, Xiao Ying looked over it and then handed it to the two children, which surprised Manager Yun.
There were still many characters that Chen Xingyun didn't recognize, but Chen Xinghe knew them all and confirmed that there was no problem.
The two parties then signed a contract, which stipulated:
The seller, Xiao Ying, must deliver the goods within one month (May 23rd to June 22nd), 20,000 kilograms of spicy sesame oil and 10,000 kilograms of spicy sesame sauce, totaling 30,000 kilograms.
If the payment is overdue, the buyer, Ruyi Restaurant, will be required to compensate for the losses at a rate of five hundred taels of silver per day.
If all the goods are delivered ahead of schedule, Ruyi Restaurant is willing to reward you with 500 taels of silver.
The buyer, Ruyi Restaurant, must pay according to the actual price, including 500 wen per catty of spicy sesame oil (a jar of 20 catties is worth 10 taels of silver), and 300 wen per catty of spicy sesame sauce (a jar of 20 catties is worth 6 taels of silver).
No advance payment is required, but the seller must settle the money in person after each delivery.
If payment is still not made after more than twelve hours, compensation will be required at twice the price of the goods.
This rule was added by Xiao Ying. After all, she didn't have much capital and it was impossible for her to wait until all the goods were delivered before getting paid. Manager Yun also expressed his understanding.
"Then we'll go to the county government office to register together."
Manager Yun was in a good mood. He still had to report this matter to the governor of Xizhou Prefecture, who would then report it to his boss.
"good."
Xiao Ying was originally going to the county government office to handle Chen Xinghe's household registration, so it was convenient for him to go there.
"By the way, I wonder how many seasonings Madam Xiao brought this time?"
"There are still ninety jars of spicy sesame oil, but only twenty jars of spicy sauce. Because the sauce needs to ferment, a lot of it is still not mature."
Shopkeeper Yun's eyes lit up. With so many goods, he could just take some with him when he went to the provincial capital.
Xiao Ying said, "There are thirty jars in the car now. I'll give you the rest this afternoon."
I can't just take it out from the space, so I'll just find a reason to ask Xinghai to deliver it to me in the afternoon.
"Okay, okay, it looks like we can use these two seasonings to cook at noon at Ruyi Restaurant."
Shopkeeper Yun was happy, as he wished he could get it sooner and sell it sooner.
So everyone went to the back door again, and Manager Yun ordered the restaurant staff to move all the goods in.
After the inventory, there were no problems and the accountant settled the bill on the spot.
Twenty jars of spicy sesame oil cost two hundred taels of silver, and ten jars of spicy sesame sauce cost sixty taels of silver.
Xiao Ying asked for two hundred taels of silver in cash, and exchanged all sixty taels of silver into copper coins, which were just enough to buy chili peppers.
The copper coins at Ruyi Restaurant are all in strings of hundreds or thousands, so it is easy to take them out.
But the weight is a bit scary. Sixty taels of copper coins must weigh more than three hundred kilograms.
Fortunately, Chen Xinghai had an ox cart, so he could put the things in sacks and put them on the cart without being conspicuous.
After finishing these things, Manager Yun took Xiao Ying and others to the county government office.
With him on board, the process went very smoothly. This kind of matter did not require the county magistrate or other officials to go out, and the minor clerks below could handle it.
However, the amount of tax still alarmed the county magistrate. The tax revenue for 13,000 taels of silver was 1,300 taels.
Such a number is rarely seen a few times in a whole year.
So the county magistrate smiled and handled it for them personally, and Xiao Ying was considered to have an appointment with him.
Xiao Ying then talked about the household registration process, which was also completed smoothly.
The registered head of Xiao Ying's family was originally Chen Enke. After Chen Enke's death, the name was changed to his eldest son Chen Xinghai, and Xiao Ying did not change it.
Seeing that his household registration had been changed to a good citizen again and he could return home, Chen Xinghe finally felt relieved.
At this moment, they truly felt like they were a family again.
Slaves were not allowed to take the imperial examinations.
"Madam Xiao has given me such a great surprise today. I should treat Madam Xiao and all the gentlemen and ladies to lunch. Would you be so kind as to do me the honor?"
Shopkeeper Yun asked with a smile, obviously wanting to invite them back to Ruyi Restaurant.
“It’s our honor.”
Xiao Ying also wanted to try the food from the county's best restaurant. Who wouldn't be happy with free food?
Several children also smiled and seemed extremely excited. They could actually go to Ruyi Restaurant for dinner, which was something they had never dared to imagine before.
So the group returned to Ruyi Restaurant again, and it was already noon.
This time, Xiao Ying entered through the main entrance. He saw a sign outside the restaurant that had been put up at some point, with the words "New dishes served today" written on it.
She raised the corners of her lips slightly, which meant that the spicy oil and spicy sauce were about to be officially launched.
Quite a few customers have already come to the restaurant, and most of them come for the new dishes.
The guests who can come here are either rich or noble. They are all wealthy and dressed in silk and satin. When they hear that there are new dishes, they can't wait to try them.
Xiao Ying and several children were invited into the same luxurious room, and Manager Yun told them to order whatever they wanted.
Xiao Ying was not polite and ordered eight dishes in one go, five meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and a soup.
Looking at the price, it would cost at least two taels of silver.
Chen Xinghai and the others felt a little uneasy. They had never eaten such an expensive meal before, and they were nervous but also full of anticipation.
