Chapter 111 Achieving Cooperation
After getting He Yanxiu's approval, Su Yujin sent someone to inform Chen that she was willing to do the cold pot skewers business.
When Chen got the news, she was overjoyed and quickly told Kang about it.
The two had originally thought of looking for Su Yujin the day before to discuss a business partnership, but when they learned that He Yanxiu was resting that day and accompanying Su Yujin in the backyard, they gave up the idea.
In addition, in the past two days, Chen and Kang heard about the incidents in the mine and the mint. Su Yujin and He Yanxiu went into the mountains together, and they waited until Su Yujin came back last night before looking for her today.
When the three met, there was not much greeting, but they went straight to the point and discussed doing business together.
After a detailed discussion, the two sides reached a preliminary cooperation.
In spring, autumn and winter, we sell freshly cooked hot skewers, charged by the skewer, and the pot base is charged separately. In summer, due to the hot weather, it is inconvenient to light charcoal fire, so we make cold pot skewers, which are still charged by the skewer, and we add some cold dishes and other side dishes to enrich the dishes.
These are the suggestions put forward by Su Yujin, and Kang also expressed many of his own ideas regarding the operation and management of the shop.
The quantity of bamboo skewers to be supplied, the combination of meat and vegetables, the location and layout of the store, the specific attire and layout of the store, the division of labor among the shop assistants, some preferential activities during the opening... etc. were all explained to Su Yujin in great detail.
What he said was quite logical and he had his own opinions.
Hearing this, Su Yujin couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.
Chen had said before that Kang was obsessed with business and was very good at merchant skills. Now it seems to be true. Kang is indeed a strong woman who can take on important responsibilities.
Having such a partner come to her to do business is no different from God putting money in her pocket.
Su Yujin's heart was filled with joy.
The three of them talked about business from morning till noon.
It was getting late, so Su Yujin invited the two of them to have lunch together.
In addition to asking Ai Cao, Qing Kui and others to cook some vegetable skewers and meat skewers for cold pot skewers, Su Yujin also personally cooked rice and fish ball soup for them.
The rice in the bowl was added with Cantonese sausage and Sichuan bacon made by Su Yujin earlier, plus vegetables, eggs and various seasonings, and slowly stewed in a casserole. The rice tasted tasty and full of bacon flavor. The rice grains sticking to the bottom of the casserole had been simmered over low heat into a layer of golden rice crust, which tasted fragrant, crispy and delicious.
The fish ball soup uses fresh fish balls, which are chewy and springy, and the soup is delicious and tasty, which is really praiseworthy.
Chen and Kang had already been full of praise for Su Yujin's cooking skills, and now after eating these, they were even more full of praise.
Kang felt more and more that he was extremely lucky to find a partner like Su Yujin.
By the afternoon, the two sides had again agreed on some details of the cooperation and signed the document.
After the matter was finalized, Kang did not stay for long. He just hurried to buy the shop he liked and began to make many preparations before the shop opened.
Chen stayed for a while longer, drank some tea with Su Yujin, and gave Su Yujin some rouge and powder.
"I made these by myself in my spare time. They may not be as good as those sold outside, but they are made of genuine materials and sufficient in quantity. I have tried them for many days and they are very smooth and rosy when applied. They are very easy to use."
"Thank you, ma'am." Su Yujin accepted them all without hesitation.
"Why are you being polite to me? I take the beauty pills you gave me every day. These days, I feel my skin is much whiter and smoother, and even the spots on my face are much less. It's really a good thing. I don't know what to give in return, so I can only give you these little things."
Chen smiled, "The weather is getting hotter day by day. There is a Linglong Pavilion in this city, which specializes in making ready-made clothes and selling jewelry. This shop is a branch opened here from the capital, so it is usually quite temperamental. It is generally unwilling to accept business from non-familiar customers. Ordinary people cannot buy anything from here."
"I am a regular customer of Linglong Pavilion. I have also arranged for the embroiderer there to come to my house in a few days to measure clothes. I think the new materials and clothing patterns that have arrived this year are all good. I will make a few spring and summer clothes for Miss Su so that she can change clothes easily."
Su Yujin came with He Yanxiu. When she came, Chen saw that she did not bring many gifts, so she knew that she must not have brought many changes of clothes, and would need to buy some new ones in the city of Hedong Prefecture.
Since it is something that needs to be used, it would be better for her to give it to Su Yujin, and she should choose good things to give.
"Then I'd rather obey your command." Su Yujin responded with a smile.
Seeing that Su Yujin was not overly polite or fake, Chen felt that she was a straightforward person and felt closer to her.
Chen, who had originally planned to leave after saying a few words, was somewhat reluctant to leave. She chatted with Su Yujin until the evening. Seeing that she looked very tired, she said goodbye.
After Su Yujin sent Chen away, she asked Ai Cao to prepare the meal.
Today, the small kitchen made minced meat tofu, secret tangerine peel chicken, braised shrimps, and mu shu pork. The dessert was brown sugar glutinous rice lotus root, the staple food was buckwheat steamed bun, and the soup was pearl dumpling soup.
The taste was acceptable and Su Yujin was quite satisfied with the meal.
After finishing her meal, Su Yujin drank the medicine for treating the cold, and went to bed early because she was tired today.
Ai Cao and Qing Kui also cleaned up the place and took turns on duty.
Currently, only He Yanxiu and Su Yujin live in the backyard of the government office. Now that He Yanxiu is not here and Su Yujin has already gone to bed, it is natural for the others to go to bed early as well.
The backyard fell silent early on, making the night even quieter.
The moon in mid-month is almost full. It rises slowly in the evening, reaches its highest point, and then gradually falls.
At exactly 1:00 p.m., a fire lit up in the backyard.
The rustling sound of footsteps came from outside the yard, waking up many servants in the yard.
Qingkui was awakened in this way. After hearing the noise, she got up, opened the window and looked out. She saw He Yanzheng, who looked tired, walked in a hurry and was cold, walking into the yard.
Then, Qingkui heard a gentle knock on the door.
Qingkui hurriedly got up and put on her coat. After tidying up briefly, she went to open the door and saw Xing'an standing at the door and He Yanxiu not far away.
"Second Master." Qingkui bowed quickly.
"Is your daughter feeling better from her cold?" He Yanxiu asked.
"Since returning that day, the doctor Xing'an invited came to check her pulse and said that there was nothing serious. He prescribed a medicine to be taken for two days. The girl has started taking the medicine this morning. After taking it for a day, she seems to be getting better."
Qingkui didn't see Su Yujin sneezing today, and she looked in good spirits.
"That's good." He Yanxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shall I ask the young lady to come and see the Second Master?"
Today, the author played cards again, from 2pm to 7pm, and lost 85 RMB...
Playing mahjong is indeed a waste of time and money, but I just want to play it. Maybe this is what the legend says, people who are bad at it have a strong addiction o(╯□╰)o (End of this chapter)
