Chapter 40 Talking Business



This person's attitude was better than the one yesterday.

“Even if you come in person, I won’t sell you my prescription. You should just leave,” Song Ning said flatly.

Qi Liangyuan smiled and said, "I'm not here to buy a house, I'm here to discuss business."

Then Li Daniu drove the cart and followed Qi Liangyuan to a restaurant.

It's the Nankang Restaurant that the person mentioned yesterday.

Li Daniu and Aunt Zhao were taken to the tea room downstairs. Song Ning followed them upstairs without any fear, which reassured Qi Liangyuan.

Once inside, the two sat down, and Qi Liangyuan didn't beat around the bush: "I know that you're in charge of your business."

"Boss Qi has a good eye." Song Ning said with a smile.

"Our restaurant would like to cooperate with you. You provide the ingredients, and we'll sell them. What do you think?"

Song Ning shared the same idea. Their current stall setup was not a long-term solution, and cold noodles only sold well in the summer. Once the weather cooled down, fewer people would eat them.

She can also take this opportunity to earn more money.

Song Ning did the math in his head and decided that this deal was worth doing.

"Can."

Qi Liangyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "How about we start supplying goods tomorrow?"

Song Ning did not answer, but said, "Since we are going to cooperate, we should naturally make everything clear. Our cold noodles usually sell for three coins a bowl. If we supply them to Boss Qi, we will charge two coins for one serving. We will not be responsible for the remaining soup and side dishes."

"no problem."

Qi Liangyuan is a businessman, and he would never do a business that loses money. The fact that he agreed to it means that the business won't lose money. A bowl of cold noodles can sell for at least four coins in a restaurant.

At this point, Qi Liangyuan would no longer truly regard Song Ning as a simple twelve-year-old girl, but rather as a real business partner.

The business deal went exceptionally smoothly. Qi Liangyuan asked Song Ning for a month's worth of orders, 500 sheets a day, which would make a considerable amount over a month.

"We'll deliver the goods tomorrow morning, Mr. Qi. It's a pleasure doing business with you."

Qi Liangyuan smiled as soon as Song Ning left.

This young girl, though not very old, speaks with remarkable clarity and eloquence.

Aunt Zhao was still in shock the whole way; she had never been to a place like that before.

"Er Ya, what did that person want with you? Did they say they wouldn't let you sell cold noodles anymore?"

Song Ning smiled and said, "No, I'm going to discuss business."

Upon hearing that they were going to discuss business, Aunt Zhao became excited: "Discussing business is great! I knew Er Ya was capable!"

Currently, she and Liu Yuelan are the ones making the cold noodles at their restaurant. Now that they're partnering with a restaurant, the two of them aren't enough, so they need to hire more people.

We need to go back and discuss this with Song Dahai and Liu Yuelan first.

After they returned, they heard that the Liu family of three had all confessed.

The news of the discovery of grain in Nanshan Village was spread from the Song family's old house.

I heard that Song Erhai happened to run into Liu Hong from the Liu family in town. Once they talked about it, the matter got out.

Everyone knows exactly what kind of people the Liu family are.

The old master of the Liu family was a money-grubbing man who liked to take advantage of others. Of his five children, none of his three sons resembled the old lady Liu; they all resembled their father, who favored sons over daughters and only cared about money and his sons.

The remaining two daughters were almost all sold.

Like Song Xiu'e, the Liu family sold Liu Yuelan to Song Dahai in order to find a wife for their son. As for the Liu family's eldest daughter, it is said that she was married in exchange for a wife.

Although Liu Yuelan was constantly tormented by her mother-in-law after arriving in Nanshan Village, at least she had Song Dahai to protect her. Take the matter of dividing the family property, for example; that's something that not everyone can do.

However, the eldest sister of the Liu family went to someone else's house and exchanged Liu Hong for that family's daughter. She hasn't been doing well these past few years. I heard that her husband is abusive and takes his anger out on her whenever he's in a bad mood.

But the daughter that the other family got in exchange lived a very fulfilling life because she gave birth to a son for the Liu family.

Of the entire Liu family, only Old Madam Liu was reasonable, but she couldn't make decisions for her husband and son at all.

It was only in these few years, after the Liu family had a grandson, that Old Mrs. Liu's life improved. Before, even after her sons got married, Old Mrs. Liu would be beaten every day.

"Pah, neither of them are any good." Aunt Zhao couldn't help but curse.

Song Ning suddenly remembered Liu Yuelan's attitude towards the Liu family.

Liu Yuelan used to visit her parents' home from time to time, but since her last visit, she has never mentioned anything about the Liu family again.

Grandma Liu arrived at the village entrance yesterday but didn't come in for a visit. It seems the mother and daughter have a good relationship.

"Auntie, has something happened between my mother and the Liu family?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I know that your mother went back to her parents' home last year. Our village is not far from Dongyuan Village, so she could go in the morning and come back in the evening."

The sun had already set, and your mother still hadn't returned. Your father went to look for her, and when he came back, both of their clothes were disheveled, your mother looked like she had been crying, and your father looked unwell.

It was obvious that something bad had happened, but the villagers didn't dare to ask directly. From then on, Liu Yuelan never mentioned her parents' home again, let alone that she wanted to go back.

In the past, Grandma Liu would sometimes visit her daughter in Nanshan Village, but she hasn't come back since then.

It seems something truly terrible has happened. Someone like Liu Yuelan, who values ​​loyalty and is soft-hearted, must have done something extraordinary to make her so ruthless.

Aunt Zhao hesitated, but ultimately didn't speak.

I originally wanted to remind Er Ya to have less contact with the Liu family, but then I thought about it and realized that the two families were relatives after all, and blood is thicker than water, so I didn't say that.

The Liu family are no good people. Liu Hong's two daughters have been sold, and I heard they're now after the eldest daughter of the Liu family.

Song Ning went straight home. Liu Yuelan was much better and was able to get out of bed today.

Song Ning first discussed the matter of making liangpi (cold skin noodles) with the two of them.

She is currently considering Aunt Zhao and Madam Sun, both of whom she trusts. Aunt Zhao has already accompanied her on several trips, and so far there have been no problems.

The Sun family helped them last time, so at least this person is not a problem.

Liu Yuelan nodded, then said with some self-reproach, "It's all my fault for having such a weak body, otherwise we wouldn't have needed to look for someone else."

No one knows how to make liangpi (cold skin noodles) except Song Ning and Liu Yuelan. If they hire someone, the recipe will be revealed to others, which is always risky.

"Mom, I went out to negotiate a business deal today. From now on, we only need to focus on the production; we don't need to worry about the sales."

What kind of business?

When Song Ning recounted what had happened in town that day, both Song Dahai and Liu Yuelan were stunned.

Although they are making money from making liangpi (cold skin noodles), they never thought they could sell their products in high-end restaurants.

"So we need to hurry up and supply the restaurant with 500 sheets of cold noodles by tomorrow morning."

The family got busy. Song Dahai needed to make a few more wooden buckets, Liu Yuelan was still not well, so she did some light work, and Song Ning went to the Jiang family.
