Chapter 90 I regret it so much

When Jiang Wan returned to the yard, the shopkeeper Liu was talking to her mother.

First, he praised their oyster sauce for being extraordinary, and then he went on to boast that Dong Fu Ju was the most luxurious restaurant in the county, with various famous chefs and had entertained many important people.

"Manager Liu, please don't call me Madam. I have already returned home with Li. You can call me Madam Yin."

Yin Huaixi didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, until today when the shopkeeper changed her name. Then she felt that the name Madam Yin was really unpleasant.

She is a single woman now.

"Oh, okay, Madam Yin."

Shopkeeper Liu's rhythm was interrupted and he didn't know what to say for a moment. When he saw Jiang Wan, he immediately started praising Jiang Wan again.

"Manager Liu, you want to talk about oyster sauce today, right?"

"Yes, yes, we're talking about oyster sauce. Madam Yin, we at Dongfuju are sincerely looking to buy it. Look at the price..."

Since the two of them had no personal relationship yet they were still negotiating for a discount, Yin Huaixi just smiled politely.

"Three hundred coins a pound."

Shopkeeper Liu was frightened and his small eyes widened a little.

"Madam Yin, I heard that you only sell one catty of Fengweilou for two hundred coins! You're raising the price too much, aren't you? Just increase it by one hundred coins!"

Are you looking down on Tofuku?!

"Manager Liu, don't be angry, sit down and have a glass of water."

After Yin Huaixi asked her daughter to pour a bowl of water for Shopkeeper Liu, she said in a serious tone, "In fact, I also mentioned this price when Shopkeeper Yu came today. It was because of the sudden price increase that he couldn't make up his mind for a while, and the supply contract has not been signed yet."

Jiang Wan immediately added, "Mother, when Manager Yu was leaving, he told us to save the oyster sauce for him and come back as soon as he has revised the contract."

Although the words are slightly different, this is the meaning.

"What?! He's coming back..."

Shopkeeper Liu frowned, looking troubled.

You can definitely afford to buy oyster sauce at 300 wen per pound. But you will make less money if you buy it back. But if you don't buy it, the dishes made with oyster sauce are exclusive to Fengweilou. Recently, Dongfuju has lost a lot of customers because of this.

The loss is no longer just three hundred coins or three ounces of silver...

When Shopkeeper Liu thought that Shopkeeper Yu would be back soon, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"We at Dongfuju will buy the same amount of oyster sauce as Shopkeeper Yu does every day! Three hundred coins per pound, Madam Yin, you must not raise the price any further."

Yin Huaixi was a little surprised. She asked for three hundred and yet Manager Liu refused to bargain?

She felt a little embarrassed by being so straightforward.

Cough cough cough…

"Manager Liu is a straightforward person, and I am not vague either. If I agree, I will not raise the price. However, as you can see, my family next door is building a house, so it may take three to five days to supply Dongfuju. If you mind..."

“No problem!”

After finally agreeing on a price and the other party was willing to sell, he would not make trouble. He would wait a few more days, it would not matter.

"Madam Yin, I think we should sign a contract. What do you think?"

Yin Huaixi pursed her lips and tried hard not to laugh.

"Mother, let me get some pen and ink~"

Jiang Wan went to her uncle to ask for pen and ink, and the contract was written by the locker Liu.

Just as he wrote the beginning, Jiang Wan suddenly stopped him and said, "Manager Liu, just now you said that Dongfuju would buy as much as Fengweilou wants. But today, Manager Yu from Fengweilou came to ask for more, saying that several restaurants across the street in Yongzhou also need oyster sauce, and they need 300 kilograms a month."

Manager Liu: “…”

Three hundred kilograms, is Mr. Yu crazy?

hiss……

Fengweilou in Yongzhou also uses...

After hearing this, store manager Liu became even more determined to get the oyster sauce.

"We at Dongfuju don't need that much at the moment, so let's just use 100 kilograms."

Jiang Wan's lips curled up. One hundred catties was thirty taels of silver, but the cost was only three or four taels. This was a huge profit.

The mother and daughter looked at each other tacitly. Yin Huaixi even raised an eyebrow at her daughter, feeling very good.

After writing the contract, Manager Liu showed it to Yin Huaixi. Yin Huaixi had suffered from not reading the contract carefully before, so now she reads the contract word by word.

I don't have any problem with it, but I want to add one more thing.

"Manager Liu, I would like to add one more clause. If the goods cannot be delivered on time due to weather or human error, we should show our understanding and then negotiate the delivery date. No compensation is required."

No one knows when a typhoon will come. Once a typhoon comes, it can last for three or four days or six or seven days. During this period, no one dares to go to the sea to catch oysters. No one dares to go out, let alone supply them.

After Yin Huaixi explained it, Manager Liu readily agreed.

After all, if a typhoon comes, Dongfuju will also have to close for a break. So this shortage of goods has no impact on them.

Both parties signed their names and put their fingerprints on the document with satisfaction.

Shopkeeper Liu was more cunning than shopkeeper Yu. He carried the seal with him, so he didn't have to run back and delay.

Jiang Wan had a good impression of the shopkeeper Liu, and gave him a small jar of homemade steamed clams before he left.

After spitting out the sand and cleaning the clams, scrub them clean and insert them vertically into the jar. Stuff them with two slices of ginger, sprinkle a little salt and add some old wine and steam them directly in the pot.

The clams were already very fresh, and the addition of the aged wine made them even more mellow. This made the wine lover Liu, the shopkeeper, unable to resist.

We finished our meal while enjoying the scenery on the boat.

Holding the empty can, he drank up all the soup inside before realizing that he had not left any for his family.

Tsk, this tastes really good.

In Dongfuju, clams are cooked by stewing them with rice wine and wolfberries (the recipe is extracted from a reply from a Mindong reader), or they are cooked into soup. This kind of dish has not yet been created.

There are only two slices of ginger in the jar, and the soup smells a bit of wine, but nothing else.

This simple method makes the dish taste no worse than other dishes in the restaurant. Hehe~ I’ll try it when I get home!

Shopkeeper Liu happily went ashore holding the jar, and happened to meet Shopkeeper Yu who was hurrying over.

Shopkeeper Yu was a little sensitive and snatched the jar away as soon as he saw it.

He was afraid that the oyster sauce had already been bought by the counter owner Liu, so he rushed over to take a look and found that it was an empty can.

Just order the empty bottle with the aroma of wine.

Uh...did I misunderstand?

"What is Shopkeeper Yu doing? He is robbing people in the street. Are you not afraid of being caught by the patrol officers?"

Shopkeeper Liu triumphantly took back the jar and shook it again and again.

"Be careful, this jar was given to me by Miss Jiang, and I have to return it to her."

"Why did she give you the jar?"

The shopkeeper Yu had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Did you buy oyster sauce?"

“I haven’t bought it yet.”

Just as Yu heaved a sigh of relief, he heard Liu say, "But the supply contract has been signed. In a few days, Dongfuju will also have dishes made with oyster sauce."

"you!!"

Shopkeeper Yu was filled with regret.

If I had been bolder in the contract, added a little more money, and let Yin Huaixi sign the exclusive supply contract in front of Manager Liu, there wouldn't be so much trouble!
