Chapter 85: New and old grudges are settled together, Xingyun siblings sell potatoes separately
In less than half an hour, Chen Xinghai had arrived in a respectable position.
But in this case, someone would have to drive the carriage.
"Xinghai will use the horse-drawn carriage to deliver the goods, and I can leave the ox-drawn carriage to you."
Xiao Ying made a decision.
The carriage was well kept secret, so she didn't have to go to an empty alley to get the jar; she could do it in the carriage.
Thirty jars can be loaded at a time, and the goods can be transported in three trips. However, the pick-up location is still set in the alley near Fulai Inn.
After loading thirty jars of spicy sesame oil into the car, Xiao Ying patted Chen Xinghai on the shoulder.
"Go deliver the goods. After you've made three deliveries, we'll settle the payment."
"I'll go right away."
Chen Xinghai was already familiar with delivering goods. Perhaps because he had eaten at Ruyi Restaurant, he was no longer as nervous as he was at the beginning.
After he left, Xiao Ying drove the ox cart carrying the three of them to the Fulai Inn.
Yu Qian, who was monitoring in secret, became a little anxious. The enemy troops were divided into two groups. Who should he follow?
Finally, he gritted his teeth and caught up with Xiao Ying. For one thing, the ox cart moved slowly in the city, so he wouldn't get lost.
Secondly, Xiao Ying was the mastermind, and he didn't take the children seriously.
After driving the ox cart for a while, Xiao Ying realized that he was being followed.
Although the man was far away, his gaze was so scorching that it was hard to ignore.
At a turn, she saw the man's figure, it was Yu Qian.
In an instant, I understood what was going on.
It must be the news that Ruyi Restaurant launched new dishes that alarmed Manxiangyuan. Manxiangyuan had suffered such a big setback because of her, so naturally she would not let it go.
Her eyes turned slightly cold, just right, to settle all the new and old grudges together.
If that young master jumps out, she doesn't mind dealing with him.
It was already 1:30 pm when they returned to the Fulai Inn, and Manager Yu was actually waiting for them in the lobby.
When he saw them returning, he immediately went forward to greet them with a smile on his face.
"Congratulations, Madam Xiao. News about Ruyi Restaurant has reached me. I heard that business is booming."
"I have to thank Shopkeeper Yu for reminding me, otherwise I wouldn't know where to sell it."
Xiao Ying smiled warmly. The owner and the waiters here really helped her a lot, otherwise her first choice might not be Ruyi Restaurant.
"Ms. Xiao is too polite. This is just a small matter that anyone can find out by asking."
Shopkeeper Yu waved his hand and became more polite to Xiao Ying, as the other party had already established connections with Ruyi Restaurant.
After the greetings, Xiao Ying took the three children back to her room and called them all into her room.
"Mom, do you have something to say?"
Chen Xinghe asked sharply.
Xiao Ying nodded slightly, his tone somewhat serious.
"You all know about the order. We have a heavy workload. I originally wanted to stay in the county for a few more days, but now I'm afraid that's not possible."
Today is May 22nd, and starting from tomorrow, it will be the starting date of one month for the order. She has no time to waste.
"Then we'll go back after delivering the goods today." Chen Xinghe said.
Xiao Ying shook his head: "To avoid suspicion, we can only go to Xinghai in an hour at most. By then it will be too late and it will not be safe to go back. Let's try to go back tomorrow afternoon."
Several people nodded in agreement.
Chen Xingyun suddenly asked, "Mom, do you have anything else to do?"
Otherwise, why not go back tomorrow morning?
Xiao Ying said, "I still have several thousand kilograms of potatoes and fruits here, and I want to take this opportunity to sell some. Since you are all here, I will give you a chance to practice."
The three of them opened their eyes wide. Their mother actually wanted them to sell potatoes and fruits by themselves?
"Are you going to set up a stall to sell them? You're sure you won't be able to sell them all, right?"
Chen Xingyue frowned, this task seemed a bit heavy.
"Of course not." Xiao Ying smiled. "You can sell potatoes to humble inns and restaurants like the Fulai Inn, and fruits to fruit merchants."
"You don't need to feel pressured. Just sell as much as you can. We're not asking you to sell out everything."
The three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In this case, it was not impossible to give it a try.
Chen Xingyun was particularly interested. This was a rare opportunity, and she also wanted to try whether she had the ability to do business.
"Xingyue is young, and I'm afraid she won't be trusted if she goes alone. You should go with Xingyun." Xiao Ying began to make arrangements: "Xinghe, is it okay for you to go alone?"
"no problem."
The three of them clenched their fists, nervous but with a hint of anticipation.
"Mom, how do you decide the price?" Chen Xingyun asked.
"The minimum price for potatoes is 20 wen per pound, and the minimum price for the three kinds of fruit is 15 wen. You can decide for yourself, and the extra money is your private money."
After Xiao Ying finished speaking, the three people's eyes lit up.
Potatoes sell for thirty cents per pound in the town, so it doesn't make sense that they can't even sell for twenty cents in the county town.
If it is still thirty coins per catty, then they can earn ten coins per catty, so one hundred catties would be one tael of silver, right?
Those three kinds of fruits were all big and sweet. Ordinary fruits cost about ten cents, and they would probably be more expensive in the county town. It must be easy for them to sell their fruits for fifteen cents.
Thinking of this, the three of them became very motivated.
"Here's a basket. Put a few of each in it so you can show it to your guests."
Xiao Ying took out a few potatoes and more than ten fruits from the fairy palace and put them in three baskets.
"This is the key to Xingyun's room. If I haven't returned after you've sold everything, I'll just rest up."
"Mom, when should we deliver the goods to them?" Chen Xingyun couldn't wait.
"Unify tomorrow morning."
At that time, she and Chen Xinghai can go and deliver it separately, and they will be able to finish it quickly.
"Don't worry, Mom, we will definitely be able to make a deal."
The three of them made a solemn vow, covered the basket with a piece of cloth, and left the inn excitedly.
Not wanting to reveal too much, the three of them didn't plan to sell it to Fulai Inn to avoid any problems.
After leaving the inn, Chen Xinghe parted ways with the two sisters, each going in a different direction.
Their mother asked them to sell the potatoes and fruits in ordinary inns and restaurants, so they did not go to those places with high barriers to entry. As long as they could sell the potatoes and fruits, they would be considered successful.
Xiao Ying waited in the inn for a while before leaving. Not long after arriving at the agreed alley, Chen Xinghai drove over in a carriage.
"Is it going well?"
"Don't worry, mother. Everything is going well."
"That's good. I'll give you thirty jars this time too." He handed Chen Xinghai a piece of fruit and said, "Eat an apple to moisten your throat."
"Thank you, Mom." Chen Xinghai looked happy.
Xiao Ying then entered the carriage and took out thirty jars of spicy sesame oil and placed them inside.
After eating, Chen Xinghai felt a little stronger, so he drove the carriage away again.
At the same time, Chen Xingyun had found his first buyer, a sighing fruit merchant.
It turned out that the merchant was upset because the fruits he imported this time did not taste good and could not be sold at a good price. Chen Xingyun immediately cut half of the apple for him to taste.
In this way, the two parties reached a cooperation smoothly.
Moreover, the merchant wanted quite a lot, 200 kilograms of each of the three kinds of fruit, and was willing to offer 20 cents per kilogram, which made Chen Xingyun and her sister smile from ear to ear.
