Chapter 105 Cooperation with Manager Yao
Zhang Juexia lifted the curtain of the carriage and secretly gave Ye Beixiu a thumbs up. He then smiled and looked at Ye Beishan, "Brother, I think Beixiu is right. If you want your sister-in-law to give birth to a smart and clever baby, you have to make your sister-in-law happy every day."
Ye Beishan grinned sheepishly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After entering the town, the carriage went straight to Manfu Restaurant. When Shopkeeper Wan saw Zhang Juexia, he smiled so much that his eyes were almost invisible. "I've been waiting for you to come."
"Manager Wan's business has been pretty good recently."
"Thanks to you, it's really good."
Wan Xi personally watched the boy move the canned hawthorns into the warehouse, and after personally checking to make sure everything was correct, he took Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu into the house to settle the bill.
Ye Beishan still drove the carriage conscientiously and waited outside the restaurant.
Wan Xi had already prepared forty taels of silver. When he handed it to Zhang Juexia, he specifically reminded him, "I estimate that these canned goods will be enough before the New Year.
Wan has one more favor to ask. If Miss Ye needs something new to eat in the future, please think of our Manfu Restaurant!"
"That's for sure."
Wan Xi smiled and sent Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu out of the restaurant. After watching their carriage disappear from view, he went into the house.
The canned food in their restaurant has been selling very well recently, and it has become a gimmick for him to attract customers.
Thinking of the money, his face broke into a smile.
With the money in hand, Zhang Juexia wanted to buy things.
She first went to the dim sum shop and bought a few boxes of dim sum. Then she passed by the bun shop and bought two large bags of meat buns.
Still not satisfied, she asked Ye Beishan to drive the carriage around the town again, "There's no shop selling cooked food here?"
"What cooked food? The buns you have in your hand are not ready-made cooked food."
Zhang Juexia didn't know how to explain it. "It's cooked meat, like cooked meat, or cooked chicken or something like that."
"You have to go to the restaurant to buy this!"
"Manfu Restaurant doesn't seem to have the cooked food I mentioned, but it's not like we haven't eaten there before.
Forget it, big brother, let’s go to Yaoji Cloth Shop and sell the brocades that my sister-in-law and the others have made.”
When Ye Beishan heard that they were going to sell the laces made by his wife, he immediately became excited and asked Ahua to run as fast as possible.
The carriage stopped at Yaoji Cloth Shop, and Shopkeeper Yao came out to greet him. "I knew it was you when I saw the carriage."
Shopkeeper Yao pulled Zhang Juexia into the shop. Zhang Juexia placed the brocade on the counter and said, "Shopkeeper Yao, here are the brocades you asked for. Let's count them and pay!"
"So many! I only mentioned it a few days ago, and you've already typed so much."
"Didn't I tell you? My eldest sister-in-law and my younger sister both know how to knit. They knitted this, but I taught them."
Shopkeeper Yao smiled and said, "Just looking at the style, I can tell it was you who taught me."
After counting, Shopkeeper Yao said, "For your sake, I'll give you two taels of silver!"
"I can't order more. Their cooking skills are pretty good."
"Don't bargain with me. If it weren't for your face, how could I get two taels of silver?
Aunt, just be content! If it were someone else, I would give them at most one or two taels of silver and eight hundred coins."
"Thank you, Manager Yao."
Zhang Juexia placed the finished cotton gloves in front of Shopkeeper Yao and said, "Since I'm such a prestigious person, I'll show you something nice."
Shopkeeper Yao picked up the gloves and examined them carefully. "Is this the pair you were asking about that day?"
"Um."
Shopkeeper Yao tried it on his hand and said, "It's really a good thing. It's quite warm."
"I've already given you the appearance. Whether you can make money depends on how you grasp it."
Shopkeeper Yao stared at Zhang Juexia while holding his gloves. "Tell me, what are your requests?"
"Shopkeeper Yao really does understand me. I just came up with an idea.
The rest is up to you, of course. You just need to sell one and give me a 4% profit."
Shopkeeper Yao thought for a moment and said, "Four percent is too much. If you don't contribute anything, you can only make two percent at most. Otherwise, there's no room for negotiation."
"Manager Yao, if I had someone on my side and a shop in town, I wouldn't come to you to do this kind of good thing.
All you need to do is find a few skilled embroiderers, use good materials, embroider beautiful patterns on them, and sell them to wealthy ladies.
It was a rare item at the beginning, and you didn’t decide the price.
Then you can use ordinary materials and make more to ensure that you have all kinds of colors.
It's the kind of feeling that makes you want to touch it when you look at it from afar.
It's cold now, so everyone in the town should have one.
If you still feel unsatisfied, sell it to the county.
I dare not say what will happen next year, but you will definitely make some money this year."
"Miss Ye, you are quite right.
But have you ever thought that this thing can be made by just looking at it, and I can’t guarantee whether it can be sold! "
“Although anyone can make it, you need cloth and cotton at home.
You have an embroiderer in your hands, so you can do needlework better than others.
Then, you can work on the color matching.
Anyway, it's just a trick, our products look better than their own, and the price is not much different."
Shopkeeper Yao reached out and patted Zhang Juexia on the shoulder, "What's wrong with your brain? Why are you so cunning?"
"Then you have to give me a raise in interest rate, to 30%."
Shopkeeper Yao did not rush to answer her, but picked up the abacus and started calculating. She muttered to herself, and finally she slammed the abacus on the table.
"Okay, 30% is 30%. I just calculated, I only have 40% of the capital, so it's a 50-50 split between us.
Although you just came up with an idea, it's my fault that I don't have such a good brain.
Besides, I'm idle anyway, so I might as well find something to do."
"Thank you, Manager Yao."
"Don't leave so quickly. I'll find a middleman and we can sign a simple contract."
While Zhang Juexia was waiting for Manager Yao, he stood outside the shop and looked at the bustling street.
Although Jinshui Town is just a town, its advantage is that it is a major transportation hub and is centrally located. People from all over the surrounding villages and towns come here to buy things.
Soon, Shopkeeper Yao came running over with a piece of paper. "Take a look at it quickly. If you think it's suitable, I'll have someone write another one."
Zhang Juexia read it once, and then she asked Ye Beixiu to help her look at it.
After the two people confirmed that there was no problem, they handed it over to Manager Yao.
"Can both of you read?"
"Well, we learned from each other and both of us can read a few characters."
"That's really amazing. I'll be back soon."
Shopkeeper Yao accidentally got a profitable business, so he was happy and ran fast.
Soon, the two people signed the agreement.
"Just leave this business to me without any worries. Don't forget about the purse you mentioned last time. You'd better hurry up when you get back."
