Chapter 337: 30% is also OK
Thanks to the all-purpose seasoning provided by Shen Qingqian, Yunzhongxian Restaurant made profits in a short period of time that it would have made in the previous half year. Li Hezhou is not really stupid, so he certainly will not give up this path easily.
If the Shen family was really brought in, not only would Yun Zhongxian's business plummet, but his previous business plans would also vanish into thin air.
Li Hezhou chatted with everyone for a while, then quickly changed the subject. He looked at Shen Xiao and asked, "Brother Shen, so many of you came into the city today, but do you have other things to do?"
Shen Qingqian was not surprised that Li Hezhou would ask this question. A man who chased her to buy the seasoning recipe could not be a fool.
You see, after just a few words with Shen Xiao and the others, they started to treat each other like brothers and even asked about their affairs very naturally.
Chen Xiao felt that there was nothing he couldn't say, so he said, "Mr. Li, you should know that with our status, we don't have much food left where we are. Winter is approaching, so my family is thinking of scraping together some money to go into the city and buy some food."
Shen Xiao would definitely not tell the real reason, after all, it was just Shen Qingqian's guess.
"Buy food." Li Hezhou's eyes turned. "I wonder what kind of food Brother Shen wants to buy? Is old food okay?"
Shen Xiao subconsciously looked at Shen Qingqian, "This..."
"Mr. Li, since we have spent money, we naturally want to buy better food, old food." Shen Qingqian pretended to be hesitant and only said half of the words.
Seeing the Shen brothers and sisters hesitate, Li Hezhou immediately said generously: "Brother Shen, Miss Shen, don't worry, our Yunzhongxian's grain is no more than three years old, and since we are so close, I will definitely give you a discount."
Shen Qingqian was overjoyed, but still didn't give in easily. "I wonder how much cheaper it is when Mr. Li says it's cheap? If it's similar to the market price..."
Although the words were not finished, the meaning was clearly expressed.
"Don't worry, it's at least half the market price." Li Hezhou waved his hand and turned to call the shop assistant.
But he saw the shopkeeper Tong who had returned standing at the door, looking at him in shock.
"What's with that expression on your face?" Li Hezhou's face darkened and he immediately turned back into his playboy look.
Shopkeeper Tong suppressed his heartache and forced a smile, "No, no, no, what the young master said is that we will sell the old grain to Miss Shen and the others at a price less than half of the market price, just as a way of making friends."
This prodigal son! Does he even know how much grain is sold in the market these days? Even if it's old grain, the average price of fine rice and noodles like the ones in their restaurant is around three or four hundred coins per pound!
However, what Shopkeeper Tong did not expect was that after hearing this, Shen Qingqian directly "rejected" Li Hezhou's kindness.
Shen Qingqian sighed helplessly: "Write more about Mr. Li's kindness. I know half the price is already very low, but we have limited money and we didn't plan to buy fine rice and noodles, so..."
Li Hezhou didn't understand the price of grain. All he was thinking about was getting on good terms with the Shen brothers and sisters so that Shen Qingqian would give in on the seasoning issue. It would be best if she could provide a long-term supply, so that he could go home and show off to his stubborn old man.
So, after hearing Shen Qingqian's words, Li Hezhou quickly said: "It's okay, it's okay. If half is not enough, 30% of the market price is also fine."
Shopkeeper Tong was almost sent away on the spot by the price he casually said. He took several deep breaths to restrain himself from making a sound.
It’s okay, it’s okay. I can’t sell it to others at this price, but it’s still acceptable to the Shen brothers and sisters.
Shen Qingqian almost laughed out loud. This time, she didn't act pretentiously and agreed immediately, "Then I'll write more about Master Li."
