Chapter 69: Not enough supply?
Feng Shuai's face was very depressed, but there was a hint of sincerity in his eyes.
Chu Xuan saw that he really didn't look like he was looking for trouble, so she said, "Go ahead."
Feng Shuai tried hard to control his tears and choked up as he said, "My father is a fool. Even though you proved him wrong, he overturned your evidence and committed suicide. But I don't believe he would kill anyone. I even less believe he would steal Feng Chunhua's money."
Chu Xuan deliberately reminded, "Feng Chunhua is your aunt, don't call her by her name."
"She has severed ties with my family. Why should I still call her aunt? My father has been secretly giving money to Feng Chunhua all these years. How could he possibly have stolen Feng Chunhua's money? I suspect my father was threatened into admitting that he had hurt Qin Xuehong."
"Do you have any evidence?"
This question stumped Feng Shuai.
Feng Shuai hung his head. "No. So I'm asking you, do you have any evidence to prove that my father really didn't kill Qin Xuehong?"
Chu Xuan sighed, "I don't have any evidence, but if your father is truly innocent, Qin Xuehong can prove it."
Feng Shuai squatted down helplessly, holding his head in his hands. "Qin Xuehong can prove it, but she is unconscious. How can we prove it?"
"Is she still awake? Have you visited her?"
Chu Xuan has been too busy recently and hasn't had time to call the Qin family in Lin County.
Feng Shuai wiped the tears from his face vigorously. "That's right. I've made up my mind. I'm going to rent a house in Lin County and wait for Qin Xuehong to wake up. I want to seek justice for my father."
Chu Xuan really didn’t realize that Feng Shuai was actually a filial son?
Can a gambler be a filial son?
Chu Xuan found it hard to believe.
No matter why Feng Shuai insisted on seeking justice from Feng Ti, Chu Xuan didn't want to care.
"Whether you want to go or not is none of my business. Don't tell me all this nonsense! Are you done talking? Get out of the way! I want to go home."
Feng Shuai extended his arm again, stopping Chu Xuan. "I'd like to do business in Lin County and sell your grilled fish fillets. Can you wholesale it to me for 100 kilograms?"
Chu Xuan had thought that some small vendors would come to her for wholesale, but she didn't expect that the first small vendor would be Feng Shuai, who had a grudge against her.
However, Feng Shuai and Feng Chunhua are not on good terms now, so Chu Xuan can use their strength to his advantage.
"Of course. But the payment must be made in full. The wholesale price is 1.6 yuan per pound. If you sell it for 2.2 yuan per pound, you will definitely be able to sell it."
Feng Shuai took out a stack of money from his pocket, including one, two, five and ten yuan notes.
"But that's all I have."
Hand it to Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan didn't answer, "Just tell me how much money you have!"
"One hundred and seven."
"Then wholesale 60 kilograms first, count out 96 yuan for me, and come with me to pick it up at my house."
"But I want to wholesale 100 kilograms..."
"Didn't you understand what I said? No credit!"
Feng Shuai could see that Chu Xuan was not really interested in wholesale grilled fish fillets to him, but he saw this business opportunity.
"Okay! Take 60 kilograms first."
He quickly counted out 96 pieces and handed them to Chu Xuan.
This time, Chu Xuan took it, counted it again, and confirmed that it was correct.
"You're planning on carrying 60 kilograms of grilled fish fillets by hand? It's not that heavy for you, the key is the space it takes up. I suggest you go to Liu Zhaodi's house and buy two large baskets with handles, then find a way to get a shoulder pole to carry them. As for the clean white cloth to wrap the grilled fish fillets, I'll give you two. Also, you have to sign an agreement with me that you'll be solely responsible for any quality problems with the grilled fish fillets once they leave my house."
If Feng Shuai bought her grilled fish fillets, stored them improperly or spoiled them, and then sold them to customers, it would only bring discredit to her grilled fish fillets.
Feng Shuai muttered quietly, "We still have to sign an agreement? Isn't this an unfair clause? What if there's a problem with your goods?"
Chu Xuan retorted, "My grilled fish fillets have a qualified test report issued by a food testing station. If there really is a quality problem, it must be because you stored it improperly."
"Is this grilled fish fillet worth a test report?" However, Feng Shuai quickly figured it out and looked at Chu Xuan with admiration. He continued, "You're quite thoughtful. I'll go to Liu Zhaodi's house first to buy a basket and a shoulder pole. I'll come to your house later. I'll have to trouble you to tell me how to preserve the grilled fish fillets."
"Hold on! I have other things to do and will be out soon."
"Okay."
Feng Shuai ran towards Liu Zhaodi's house.
At this time, Liu Zhaodi was killing fish at Chu Xuan's house, but Chu Xuan knew that she had some stock in baskets at home, and Erleng and Sanleng could be sold to Feng Shuai.
When Chu Xuan returned home, Xiao Feng immediately told her that Mu Chenze had come to give an account.
In fact, Chu Xuan could guess it without my telling her, otherwise Mu Chenze would not have found a place to go to the sea.
More than twenty minutes later, Feng Shuai left Chu Xuan's house carrying two baskets of grilled fish fillets.
Chu Xuan took a look at the agreement in his hand and handed it to Xiao Feng.
"Keep it."
Chu Feng took it, his face filled with surprise, "I didn't expect Feng Shuai to even dare to sign an agreement that assumes all responsibilities."
Chu Xuan's expression was calm. "It seems he really wants to make money selling grilled fish fillets."
Will Feng Shuai’s life also change in this life because of Feng Ti’s death?
I looked at my watch and it was already past 11:30, so I started to make lunch.
Just then, Mu Chenze came running over.
"Chu Xuan, there's an order for 1,500 kilograms! Boss Hou called and placed the order! Add to that the 1,000 kilograms from Boss Yuan, will our inventory still be enough?"
Chu Xuan put down the kitchen knife and walked into the yard. "It's definitely not enough. According to the plan, after we kill and grill the skinned fish we ordered today, we can only make up 2,300 kilograms of grilled fish fillets. I just wholesaled 60 kilograms to Feng Shuai. I promised the aunties in the county town that I would sell grilled fish fillets this afternoon, so I have to bring at least 40 kilograms. That means we are still short of 300 kilograms of grilled fish fillets. We need to exchange for another 2,000 kilograms of skinned fish. I asked Aunt Niu to go to the dock to see if we can get more from Li Tong. Forget it, I'll go with her."
"Didn't Ji Ping send us two thousand kilograms of skinned fish this afternoon?"
"That's right. It's already been taken into account. There's still a shortfall of two thousand kilograms." Chu Xuan said quietly, "I can't treat you and Ji Ping to dinner tonight..."
Mu Chenze had already thought of this before he came over, "No problem! Go ahead! I need to go home and catch up on some sleep. I'm so sleepy I can't even open my eyes."
After talking to Chu Xuan, he didn't forget to move closer to Qin Mahua and told her not to get too tired.
Qin Mahua killed the fish easily. "You can eat your lunch yourself! Your sister-in-law and I are both working overtime here. Xiaoxuan will take care of the meal."
"knew."
Mu Chenze left, so he didn't have to worry about purchasing the skinned fish.
Chu Xuan and Widow Niu pulled the cart straight to the dock.
When we got there, there were only 500 kilograms of skinned fish on Li Tong's stall.
Bought by Chu Xuan.
At the same time, he reminded me, "Boss Li, if you have any more good-quality skinned fish, no matter how much, please leave it to me. I'll make more grilled fish fillets at home while the weather is good these few days."
Li Tong naturally nodded in agreement.
Another vendor nearby heard this and approached Chu Xuan to chat, "We have skinned fish too, would you like to see? It's over 1,500 kilograms!"
It’s just enough for Chu Xuan’s family.
Chu Xuan has been working with Li Tong and knows him well, but he doesn't know much about other vendors.
When inspecting the goods, it is impossible for her to check every fish.
She looked at Li Tong with a questioning look in her eyes.
Li Tong hesitated to speak.
Chu Xuan felt that there was something he didn't know.
Instead of responding in a hurry, he called Li Tong aside.
