Boss Wei's eyes lit up. "Tell me, how many more pounds do you want?"
Ling Ju thought about it and realized that if Wang Li's deal went through, she would need to add at least 50 kilograms of beef a month. Recently, sales at Chuan Xiaoxiang had also increased exponentially, with over 100 kilograms of sauce sold daily. This meant she would need around 500 to 600 kilograms of beef a month.
"Last fall, we only needed about 200 to 300 kilograms of beef a month. Since winter, we've needed about 350 kilograms each month. With the cold weather approaching, everyone loves spicy food to keep the chill at bay. With the Lunar New Year approaching, I've noticed our average daily consumption has already surpassed 400 kilograms, approaching 500 kilograms."
Boss Wei nodded, pulled out a notebook from behind him, and checked. "Yes, we ordered 410 kilograms last month. There are still ten days left in this month, and we've already bought over 400 kilograms."
"Well, I came here today to ask you, if I purchase 500 kilograms per month, what price can you give me? Think about it, 500 kilograms, that's not a small number. Even a big restaurant wouldn't need 500 kilograms of beef in a month!"
Boss Wei took a sip of his tea and said, "Boss Ling, you're right. Big restaurants really can't buy much beef. Beef is expensive! The beef and mutton in my shop are basically bought by hot pot restaurants or cadres' families. Ordinary business owners can only eat beef a few times a year! A little pork is good enough!"
Ling Ju discovered that the boss was also honest. "Yes, I made the sauce because I wanted everyone to enjoy a different flavor. I wanted ordinary people to be able to afford food containing real beef."
Boss Wei picked up an abacus and did some calculations, mumbling a few numbers silently. Finally, he looked up at Ling Ju and said, "Boss Ling, to be honest, the price I'm giving you now is actually quite low. You know there are fewer cattle being slaughtered right now, and the price of meat is high. But if your shop can really purchase 500 kilograms per month, I can give you a further discount of 1 cent. Any more than that, and I really can't go any lower."
