Chapter 137: Manager Sun’s Thoughts

"Come in and sit down and talk."

Jiang Wan didn't react much. She took the man outside the kitchen and got him a bench to sit on.

There was no tea or warm smiles.

This made Sun, the shopkeeper, feel very uncomfortable.

He is the person with the highest status in the restaurant except for the boss and the young boss. All the waiters and cooks have to greet him with a smile when they see him.

This girl is just a girl from the village, yet she dares to treat him so neglectfully. She is really uneducated.

If Jiang Wan knew what the person opposite her was thinking, she would definitely give him a bucket of water to cleanse his brain.

In fact, she just didn't smile as attentively as she did, and her attitude wasn't warm enough.

For a stranger, her attitude is good enough.

"I wonder what the shopkeeper's name is?"

"Miss Jiang, just call me Shopkeeper Sun."

Although the shopkeeper Sun was not very happy in his heart, he still looked friendly on the surface. After all, he had to buy the oyster sauce from someone else.

"Miss Jiang, could you please ask your mother to come out for a moment?"

"My mother is busy. I can make the decision about the oyster sauce. Just talk to me."

Jiang Wan had no intention of asking A Niang for help at all. If the deal could be reached, she would go and ask A Niang to come out and sign.

In fact, she had a feeling that today's negotiations might not go smoothly.

The newly appointed shopkeeper Sun probably thought he was pretending to be good, but the contempt that occasionally flashed in his eyes still revealed his inner thoughts.

A person who looked down on their shopkeepers from the bottom of his heart and had no idea what a partner was. To be honest, it was quite disgusting to do business with such a person.

"It's great that you can call the shots."

Shopkeeper Sun was quite happy. It was much easier to fool a little girl than an adult.

"It's like this. Manager Yu signed a contract with you guys before. You have to order 300 kilograms of oyster sauce a month, and each kilogram costs 280 coins, right?"

Jiang Wan nodded.

"Now that the shopkeeper has been fired, our young master feels that we can renegotiate the transaction."

"Let's talk again? Do you want to increase the dosage?"

The shopkeeper Sun raised his eyebrows and smiled greasyly.

"Miss Jiang's guess is correct. Our young master is planning to increase the quantity. This time we plan to buy 500 kilograms of oyster sauce a month."

Jiang Wan was slightly surprised by the amount.

If Fengweilou has good business in a month, it can only use about 100 kilograms at most. If this young master buys 500 kilograms of oyster sauce and brings it back, can the Fengweilou on the other side of the strait use it all?

Or do you have other plans?

"Miss Jiang, we at Fengweilou are very sincere. If you buy so much oyster sauce at one time, I wonder if you can adjust the price appropriately?"

It is normal to want a preferential price when buying things in bulk. Jiang Wan glanced at the shopkeeper Sun and said seriously:

"Looking at the look on Shopkeeper Sun's face, I think he has his own price in mind. How much do you think the price should be reduced by?"

Shopkeeper Sun almost couldn't help laughing.

A little girl is just a little girl. She jumped into the pit on her own initiative before she even had time to exert any strength.

"Well... five hundred jin is not a small number. Miss Jiang, how about fifty cents less per jin, or two hundred and thirty cents per jin?"

Jiang Wan had a feeling that this was exactly what she expected, and she immediately smiled.

She stood up and extended her right hand toward the door.

"Shopkeeper Sun, it seems that there is no need for us to talk. I have things to do. You should go ahead."

Such a direct way of chasing away customers made the shopkeeper Sun blush.

He never expected the little girl to react like this.

Isn't the price of two hundred and thirty wen per catty quite high? It's just a little less. What's wrong with a little more money for five hundred catties?

How short-sighted!

"Miss Jiang, if you are not satisfied with the price, we can discuss it again. What do you think the price should be? You decide?"

"I'll decide. Of course it'll be 300 wen per jin. It will be so harmonious if we live together as one family with Dongfuju."

When the shopkeeper Sun heard this, his face fell without any expression.

"Three hundred coins?! Not only is the price not cheap, but you've increased it by twenty coins?!"

Jiang Wan nodded seriously.

"Yes, three hundred coins is my lowest price. Besides, I can't supply the five hundred kilograms that Fengweilou has. The maximum I can supply is three hundred kilograms a month."

Shopkeeper Sun was stunned.

It turned out that during his visit, the supply quantity was not negotiated and the price was not reduced at all, but increased instead.

If the young master knew about this, it would be hard to say whether he could keep his position as the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper Sun then became serious, a kind smile appeared on his face and his tone was so soft that water could drip out.

"Miss Jiang, I was just joking. How could it be 230 wen per jin? I think 280 wen per jin is just right. Let's not talk about the price, let's talk about the oyster sauce. 500 is not enough, can we increase it to 400 jin?"

"Why do you need so much oyster sauce? I heard that your young master is trying to figure it out himself? Hasn't he figured it out yet?"

These words made the shopkeeper Sun's heart skip a beat.

No wonder he always felt that this girl's attitude towards him was not quite right. It turned out that it was because she knew that the young master was thinking about refining oyster sauce himself.

He laughed dryly and quickly explained.

"Miss Jiang, it's all a misunderstanding. Our young master is still young and is always curious about these new things. He tried it himself because he likes dishes made with oyster sauce so much, but he didn't come up with anything."

Jiang Wan smiled but didn't respond.

"Miss Jiang, this oyster sauce..."

"The price has gone up. It's now 300 wen per pound. If you don't want to buy it, you don't have to. Once this month's contract is voided, I will no longer supply oyster sauce to Fengweilou."

"you!"

Shopkeeper Sun felt his forehead starting to hurt.

Nowadays, dishes made with oyster sauce and garlic paste are the best-selling dishes in the restaurant. If the oyster sauce is really out of stock, I'm afraid that in a few days, all customers will go to Dongfuju.

"Miss Jiang, we bought so much oyster sauce from Fengwei Restaurant, it should be cheaper, right?"

"You don't have to buy it. We are country folk and don't spend much money every month. We can make enough from the sales of Dongfuju."

Jiang Wan looked like a salted fish, which really made the shopkeeper Sun very angry.

But now he hadn't signed the contract, so he didn't dare to get angry with Jiang Wan.

Two hundred and eighty wen a jin seems to be hopeless, but three hundred wen a jin is not impossible...

The young master only asked him to sign for 500 kilograms, but did not specify the price per kilogram.

Originally he wanted to try his best to lower the price so that he could pocket the difference, but he never expected that this girl was such a stubborn person.

That’s all…

"Okay, then three hundred coins a pound."

Manager Sun's compromise made Jiang Wan even more certain of one thing.

The oyster sauce at Feng Mei Lou is definitely very good.

Not the Fengweilou restaurants in the city, but the ones on the other side of the river.

"Did Manager Sun bring the contract?"

"No, but I brought the seal."

The shopkeeper Sun immediately searched his pockets, and halfway through, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Miss Jiang, since it's already 300 wen per catty, can you also sell us the 100 catties from Dongfuju..."

Cabinet manager Liu, who had just walked to the gate of the courtyard, happened to hear these words and was immediately furious.
