After the crowd dispersed, Lao Feng and Lao Fan were able to walk to the front of the store.
Qiu Niang and Lai Siyu were packing up their stall. Dong'er saw someone outside and politely said, "Uncles, we're sold out today. Please come back early tomorrow!"
"Hehe~ little girl, we two were introduced by Lai Siyu. We are here to see Mr. Gu Yu. I wonder if he is here?" Old Fan asked with a smile.
Lai Siyu immediately stepped out upon hearing the voice, wiping her hands on her apron while warmly inviting the two people outside the door. "I'm Gu Yu, please come in. I'm sorry I've been so busy today and neglected you."
The three of them cooked in the main hall. Qiu Liang hurriedly served tea, and Dong Er also prepared some fruit and brought it over. Knowing that the three of them wanted to discuss something, Qiu Niang and Dong Er closed the shop door and went to the kitchen to work.
"Little Laizi has already told me the purpose of your visit. The braised food I reserved for you is in the kitchen. I'll have Dong'er bring it to you right away."
Lao Feng and Lao Fan exchanged a glance, and Lao Fan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, brother. Let's discuss the way of cooperation with you again."
"Rediscuss?" Lai Siyu looked at them inquiringly and said, "I think Little Lai has already told you two that this braised food recipe is a family inheritance, and we dare not sell it outside!"
"Brother, you misunderstood. We two brothers don't want to buy your prescription, but we just want to cooperate with you!" Lao Feng quickly explained.
"Oh, may I ask how you two would like to cooperate?"
"Brother, the grand opening of your place is the most unprecedented thing my brother and I have ever seen. In the world of immortal cultivation, the most lacking thing is delicious food. Since no one has enough time to cultivate, how can they have the time and energy to devote to researching and making delicious food?
Therefore, any food that is delicious and full of spiritual energy is quite popular in the world of immortal cultivation. I think the grand occasion here today can explain it all.
If we were to purchase from you as we agreed with Junior Sister, we would definitely not be able to meet the demand in terms of quantity."
"Yes, brother, you left us 50 kilograms, which is not enough to sell. So we were thinking, could you cooperate with us to open a Qiu Niang Braised Food branch in Qingyunmen? All the ingredients will be provided by our canteen, and you just need to help us make them. As for the profit, how about you split it 50-50 with our canteen?" Old Feng followed up what Old Fan had said and told us the plan they had agreed on before.
Lai Siyu didn't say anything, just sat there in deep thought, with a serious expression on his face.
Lao Feng and Lao Fan looked at Lai Siyu nervously, afraid that she would not agree. They looked at each other, and finally, Lao Fan said, "Brother, if you think 55 is less than 46, that's fine too. You take 6 and we take 4!"
"Four six..." Lai Siyu murmured.
"37, 37 is fine too!" Old Feng was anxious.
"Yes, brother, 37 is fine too!" Lao Fan agreed.
"Okay then." Lai Siyu agreed reluctantly. In fact, she was already very happy when they agreed to a 50-50 split. The reason why she pretended to be serious and did not agree immediately was that she wanted them to think that her braised food recipe was very important, and that they asked her to do this business. In this way, her position in this cooperative relationship would be above the two of them.
But I didn't expect these two people to be so impatient and even say 37.
This is definitely a no-cost business!
Seeing that Lai Siyu agreed, Lao Feng and Lao Fan were also very happy. There were tens of thousands of disciples in Qingyun Sect, and all the food was provided by the sect. These leftovers were things that the sect didn't want. It could be said that they didn't spend a single spirit bead on the ingredients sold by Qiu Niang Braised Food, so being able to get a three-point profit was already very good.
Both parties have their own calculations and their own benefits, so this cooperation is undoubtedly a pleasant one.
The agreement was finalized on the spot. Lai Siyu provided them with brine and taught them how to make it, and then settled the profit share of the previous month on the first day of each month.
After the discussion, Lai Siyu invited the two to dinner. Of course, they did not refuse and even contributed two jars of spirit wine.
Lai Siyu asked Dong'er to call all the neighbors and set up three low tables in the alley as usual. At noon that day, there was a table full of delicious food made by Lai Siyu, and two jars of spirit wine provided by Lao Fan and Lao Feng. In addition, this day was the best business day in the history of the shops in East Lane, so the atmosphere at the table was surprisingly good.
After everyone left, Qiu Niang closed the door to settle the bill. Dong'er and Qiu Niang counted the spirit beads, their bodies trembling with excitement! Their family used to run a pharmacy, but the income from that day had never been comparable to today's.
Looking at Qiu Niang and Dong'er's excitement, Lai Siyu smiled happily.
"Brother Yu, we sold a total of 20,400 spirit beads today!" Dong'er whispered in Lai Siyu's ear. She was afraid that if she spoke too loudly, people outside would hear it. Her little face flushed red, and her bright eyes were full of excitement.
Lai Siyu took the storage bag Dong'er handed over. She took out forty spirit stones from her own storage bag and handed them to Qiu Niang. "Auntie, take these spirit stones. Thirty-five of them are for the store's turnover, and the remaining five are for household expenses. You and Dong'er both have spiritual roots. Now that we're making money, you can start practicing."
Qiu Niang refused to accept it. She quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, this shop belongs to the young master. How dare Qiu Niang help him keep so many spirit stones? Dong'er and I are just helping out. The young master has already provided us with food and shelter. Qiu Niang and I dare not accept any more spirit stones from him."
"Qiuniang, listen to me. I won't stay in the store every day. Once everything is going well, I will leave. This store still depends on you and Dong'er to help me support it. In the future, I may collect profits once a month, or once every one or two years. So, you have to start taking over this store now.
Furthermore, every month you and Dong'er will each receive a monthly salary of five low-grade spirit stones from the sales revenue, and five low-grade spirit stones for household expenses."
"Sir, this is too much..."
"Not many. These spirit stones are for you to use for cultivation. Qiu Niang, I am a cultivator, so my life span will definitely be longer than that of ordinary people. If you and Dong'er want to help me, you must also practice hard. Otherwise, who will I find to guard my shop after a hundred years? Qiu Niang, you said you would help me for the rest of my life. If your cultivation level can't improve, how can you say you will help me for the rest of my life?"
"Yes, mother, I think Brother Yu is right. Only when our cultivation level is improved can we better help Brother Yu."
Qiu Niang looked at Dong'er with determination in her eyes, and finally accepted the spirit stone that Lai Siyu placed on the table. She wanted to serve the young master for the rest of her life and not hold him back. In addition to looking after the store, she and Dong'er also had to practice hard so that they could help the young master for a longer period of time.
