Chapter 77 Recruiting Again, Cutting in Line



Jin Beicheng's subordinates, Chang'an and Changfeng, told him in unison.

Jin Beichen was incredibly excited when he found out. He originally wanted to ride his horse to Peach Blossom Village to find Song Xia immediately.

Think about it.

He held back.

Send Chang'an and his men away.

Jin Beicheng arrived at Song Xia's Space Supermarket.

In just a short while.

Song Xia then came into his view: "Why are you here at this time?"

I want to buy something.

Jin Beichen walked to the shelf and noticed that all the items for sale had prices marked on them.

Seeing that he was staring at her, Song Xia said, "I felt that the previous pricing was a bit inappropriate, so I changed the price."

"Um."

Jin Beichen's eyes fell on the popsicles in the refrigerator: "What's this?"

"ice cream."

Song Xia explained simply: "It's a frozen dessert made from water, eggs, and sugar."

Which one tastes better?

Jin Beicheng asked.

Since Song Xia likes crispy food, I recommended a few kinds to him.

Jin Beichen spent ten taels of silver to buy two sticks, and handed one to Song Xia.

"You've always treated me to food before, now it's my turn to treat you."

"OK!"

Song Xia didn't stand on ceremony with Jin Beichen; she took the food, opened it, and started eating.

Jin Beichen smelled the sweet aroma in the air and started eating it too.

The taste is not bad.

No wonder she likes it.

He never asked Song Xia whether she was a human or an immortal until he left.

After going outside.

Jin Beichen did not go to Peach Blossom Village to find Song Xia. Instead, he had his subordinates Chang'an and Changfeng investigate her family background and everything about her.

I learned that she had a business relationship with Ji Ying, and that she had opened a shop and a workshop and was doing quite well.

Jin Beicheng said to Chang'an, "Chang'an, go and find out how much their sweet potato vermicelli costs."

"Yes, Master."

Chang'an accepted the order and left.

Changfeng stayed where he was, waiting for Jin Beicheng's instructions.

I waited for a while.

He didn't say anything.

Changfeng asked, "Master, have you forgotten about me? You sent Chang'an to investigate sweet potato vermicelli, but what about me? What am I supposed to do?"

Jin Beichen pondered for a moment and said, "Go and investigate Ji Ying."

Chang'an inquired around the town but couldn't find out, so he paid someone to go to Peach Blossom Village to inquire.

As a result, the villagers of Peach Blossom Village were unaware of this.

no way.

Chang'an had no choice but to send that person to Song Xia's house to inquire.

Upon learning of this, Song Xia immediately had the man brought in.

She didn't show up herself; she had Boss Song meet with him instead.

Old Song sized up the young man and asked bluntly, "You've come to inquire about sweet potato vermicelli because you want to buy some?"

Upon hearing this...

The young man said slowly, "It's not that I want to buy it, it's my master. He sent me here today not to buy your sweet potato noodles, but to ask about the price."

The implication is that his master will ask about the price before deciding whether to buy or not.

Boss Song looked at him and asked, "Where is your master from?"

"Yingyang".

The young man spoke without hesitation.

Boss Song said apologetically, "I'm sorry, we already have business partners in Fengling."

The young man did not forget why he had come here.

"May I ask about the price?"

Old Song didn't know why he was so persistent in asking the price, so he gave him a vague price: "A few dozen coins per pound."

"Thank you, now I can report back to my master."

The young man thanked him and left.

After he left.

Song Xia walked out from the back hall.

Boss Song came up to Song Xia and said, "Xia'er, you heard what he just said, right?"

Song Xia nodded.

Boss Song continued, "Since you don't plan to cooperate with anyone else, why did you ask me to see him again?"

What else could it be?

Song Xia suspected that this person was sent by Jin Beicheng.

But he didn't mention that they came from Daqi.

After thinking it over and over...

Song Xia thought she was overthinking things. If Jin Beichen knew she was here, wouldn't he come looking for her?

"Xia'er?"

Song Laoda's voice brought Song Xia back to her senses.

Song Xia said with a smile, "I'm not taking any chances. What if he's from another country? Wouldn't our workshop have another partner?"

In the town.

Not long after hearing Chang'an's report, Jin Beicheng decided to go find Ji Ying.

Doesn't Ji Ying have a collaboration with Song Xia?

Then he'll seek cooperation with him.

In this way.

I made money again.

And so I indirectly started having contact with her.

He didn't go in person; he sent Chang'an to find Ji Ying instead.

Ji Ying was looking for business partners in Daqi, and he talked with Chang'an for a long time after Chang'an's arrival.

After talking with him, Chang'an returned to the inn where she was staying and reported to Jin Beicheng.

"Master, Ji Ying said that if you want to monopolize the sweet potato vermicelli business in Daqi, you have to pay 20,000 taels of silver as a monopoly fee, and he will give you 120 coins per catty of sweet potato vermicelli."

Before Jin Beichen could say anything...

Chang'an curled his lips and said, "Master, Ji Ying is too ruthless. Miss Song Xia sold it to him for a few dozen coins a pound, and he immediately sold it to you for so much money a pound, not to mention he wants to monopolize the profits."

"Don't forget he's a businessman, and not just any ordinary businessman."

Jin Beicheng had no objection to the price, but he simply didn't have that much money on hand right now.

The Emperor did reward him, but he only has a little over ten thousand taels of silver in his hands now.

It's still far from the amount Ji Ying wants.

In addition, you need to prepare some money.

There's no reason for me to buy something from someone else and then pay them back later, right?

Jin Beichen originally wanted to find Tuoba Zhen, but then he thought that Tuoba Zhen probably didn't have that much money either, so he decided to sell his villa in the capital of Daqi and the estate he had bought privately.

To avoid Ji Ying collaborating with others.

Jin Beicheng instructed Chang'an to explain things clearly to Ji Ying before sending him back to the capital of Daqi to sell his villa and estate.

It takes about six months to travel from Fengling to and from the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Although Chang'an did not say it explicitly.

Ji Ying still guessed that they were from the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty.

The cooperation has not yet been finalized.

Ji Ying did not tell Song Xia about this for the time being.

but.

He still instructed Song Xia to recruit more people to expand production.

Because in addition to selling sweet potato vermicelli in Daqi, he also plans to sell it to other countries.

After hearing what he said, Song Xia went home and announced that her workshop was hiring again.

Song Lao Er and Song Lao San soon came to her.

Song Lao Er spoke first: "Xia'er, aren't you hiring again? My son-in-law wasn't home when you hired before, but he is now. Do you think we could let them work in our workshop?"

"Xia'er, and Xiao Hua and her husband."

Song Laosan then said.

"Can!"

Song Xia's initial words pleased them, but what she said next made them somewhat unhappy.

She said, "You should have them come for interviews; I'll give them priority."

Although Song Lao Er and Song Lao San felt uncomfortable, they still did as instructed.

Song Laidi and Yang Bai arrived an hour later.

They were both hardworking and clean, so Song Xia accepted them without hesitation.

As for...

Song Xiaohua and her husband Fang Neng arrived later than them and the rest of the village.

Fang Neng hadn't really taken Song Xia's workshop seriously, but seeing so many people lined up, he couldn't stay calm.

Their workshop is very large.

Fang tried to go in directly, but was stopped by the people in front of him before he could take more than a few steps: "What are you doing? You, we're all in line, are you trying to cut in line?"
