Su Xiaoxiao said, "You Jinji's ability to turn the tables is unheard of! When did I promise to supply you with goods every day? Do you have any evidence?"
"you--"
Shopkeeper Sun was cautious when he discussed cooperation with Su Xiaoxiao.
The two parties are in a competitive relationship, and he was worried that Su Xiaoxiao would supply the inferior salted egg yolks to Jin Kee and keep the superior salted egg yolks for herself, so he decided to try it for a while to make sure there was no difference between the two ingredients, and then sign a formal purchase document with Su Xiaoxiao.
Therefore, at this moment, Jinji really cannot produce a contract requiring Su Xiaoxiao to supply goods or pay a huge penalty for breach of contract.
The waiter was disappointed and left in disgrace.
"Manager He, no, they won't agree to resume supply."
In the room on the second floor, he told the conversation with Su Xiaoxiao honestly, without adding any exaggeration, mainly because there was no need to. Su Xiaoxiao's original words were enough to make people furious.
The day after tomorrow is Mr. Qi's birthday banquet, and the ingredients must be received by tomorrow night at the latest.
Shopkeeper He's expression became uncertain.
The waiter asked tentatively: "How about a hard approach?"
Shopkeeper He rolled his eyes at him.
If the hard approach worked, it would have worked yesterday, and I wouldn't have seen the troublesome brother and sister this morning.
After the waiter finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. The people they sent out were all injured and swollen, and none of them did not cry for their parents. A tough approach would not work.
He said awkwardly: "How about we buy it somewhere else?"
Shopkeeper He looked at him like a fool and said, "Somewhere else? Do you mean the capital?"
It will take more than ten days or half a month to get to the capital from here. By the time you buy the salted egg yolks, the day lilies will be cold!
"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. What should I do?" The waiter was completely at his wits' end. Having followed the shopkeeper for so long, this was the first time he had encountered such a troublesome person.
"Buy it from her!" said Shopkeeper He.
"Buy... salted egg yolks?" the waiter asked uncertainly.
Shopkeeper He asked impatiently, "Who would want salted egg yolk alone? You can tell something is wrong!"
The waiter opened his eyes wide and said, "You want to buy a whole salted egg? That's really expensive, right?"
Shopkeeper He used the lid of the cup to stir the tea leaves in the tea bowl: "It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not. Some businesses lose money, so lose. The most important thing is that the Qi family's birthday banquet must be foolproof!"
The waiter said bitterly, "She has to agree to sell it."
Shopkeeper He said calmly, "Just don't let her know that we bought it."
…
Downstairs, Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou had packed up their stall. They put on their backpacks. Su Ergou grabbed an Ergou cake and ate it with relish.
"Sister, you really don't want to have a bite? It's delicious! The Ergou pancakes you make are getting more and more delicious!"
Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists: "You eat it, I want to continue losing weight!"
Meat floss biscuits are high in calories and contain sugar, which can easily stimulate people's appetite and make them unstoppable once you start eating them.
"Go back," she said.
"Yeah!" Su Ergou munched on the biscuit and nodded vaguely.
"Girl! Girl! Please stay!"
A woman wearing a white jade hairpin waved at Su Xiaoxiao and walked over in small steps.
She was in her early forties, had a kind face, and wore simple clothes made of good material.
"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?" Su Xiaoxiao asked politely.
The woman smiled and said, "I thought I was late. Fortunately, you haven't left yet. The cakes you sell are better than those sold at Jinji, and the price is cheaper."
The woman smiled and said, "I'm not here to buy cakes. I want to buy salted eggs from you. I've tried your egg yolk pastry. It uses top-quality salted egg yolks, which are not worse than the salted egg yolks I ate in the capital."
"Have you been to the capital?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
The woman smiled bitterly, "I went to Beijing with my husband to take the imperial examination a few years ago and stayed there for a while, but unfortunately he failed in the end. My son is more promising than him. He has passed the examination and became a scholar before he was 20. He will go to the provincial capital to study for the provincial examination this year. I bought some salted eggs for him to take with him. Do you sell salted eggs?"
"How much do you want?"
In order to supply Jin Kee, the family stockpiled a lot of salted eggs.
If there is really someone who wants to buy it, she can also sell it.
"Can I ask the price?" the woman asked.
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Eighteen cents for each. If you buy fifty, I can sell them to you at seventeen cents."
The woman exclaimed, "Your egg yolk pastry is only 20 cents each."
Su Xiaoxiao explained: "Egg yolk pastry only uses egg yolks, and you bought a whole salted egg, and the cost of the salted egg is all in the egg white."
Egg white is salty, salt was expensive in ancient times!
"Ah this..." The woman looked tangled, "Sell it to me at a low price, and I will introduce you to business in the future."
"How much do you want?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
"I originally only wanted a few dozen, but your price..." The woman hesitated and sighed, "If I buy a hundred, can you give me a lower price?"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Sixteen cents, no less."
The woman gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! When can I get the goods?"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "The morning of the day after tomorrow at the latest."
The woman warned, "Let's make a deal, young lady, you are not allowed to regret it! My son's carriage is the day after tomorrow, and after the day after tomorrow, he will be gone!"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay." ——Jin Ji.
The woman went to report to Shopkeeper He: "Shopkeeper He, it has been done. Sixteen cents each, a total of one hundred. She promised to bring the salted eggs the day after tomorrow morning."
Shopkeeper He asked, "Are you sure nothing will go wrong?"
The woman said, "I have paid the deposit. I think this girl is a good person and she will not break her promise."
The waiter said nonchalantly, "Humph, if he had good character, he wouldn't have cut off supply to our Jinji!"
The woman said nothing and made no comment.
Shopkeeper He gave the waiter a look, and the waiter took out a purse and handed it to the woman.
The woman took it with both hands: "Thank you, Manager He."
After the woman left, the waiter said with a smile on his face, "Boss, you are really amazing! You knew to find someone from the opera troupe to pretend to be a customer! That girl was kept in the dark, and I'm afraid she is still feeling smug! When we get the goods the day after tomorrow, we will go and give that girl a lesson!"
There will be no need to worry about anything at that time, that girl’s good days are over!
…
In the next two days, Su Xiaoxiao's stall went exceptionally smoothly.
Jin Ji seemed to have compromised, and no matter how good Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou's business was, it never bothered the siblings again.
On this day, the brother and sister finished selling snacks.
The woman came to pick up the goods at the agreed time. There were a total of 100 pieces, all of which were intact.
The woman ordered the goods, paid the bill, and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, girl!"
There will be a big update next month, so remember to vote for me if you have monthly tickets~ (End of this chapter)
