Chapter 96 Talking Business
Li Wanyue smiled and said, "Okay, since you are so willing, then you don't need to buy the recipe for mung bean powder. It will be considered as my investment. However, I have signed a contract with Zuixianju that I cannot teach the recipe within three months. After three months, I will hand over the recipe to Manager Li."
"Okay. As for the dividends you mentioned, do you think it should be paid at the end of each year, every six months, or every quarter?"
"By season."
"good."
Shen Yu looked hopeless, but since the person had agreed, what else could he say?
Anyway, this Baiweilou belongs to my cousin, and he is only responsible for the operations in Anping County.
Thinking of that seasoning, he quickly said, "And that seasoning."
"Bean paste?"
"right."
"I have ten jars of bean paste in stock. One jar weighs three jin and can normally make five hundred dishes. I was planning to set the price at two liang, so I'll charge you one liang of silver per jar."
"Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll ask Manager Li to write the deed right away." Shen Yu went downstairs immediately.
Li Sandong's eyes were empty and his thoughts were far away. He almost couldn't recognize the word "money".
How much money did his sister earn in total? He couldn't figure it out.
Xie Yan looked at Li Wanyue: "I really want to know, where did Miss Li learn so many novel ideas from?"
"In books, there is a golden house, in books there are thousands of bushels of grain, just like those tables and cards, when you are bored, you just come up with them to kill time."
"Oh, have you figured out something suitable for scholars to do to pass the time? Besides music, chess, calligraphy, painting, pitching pots, polo, etc."
"I'll tell you when I figure it out."
Xie Yan raised her lips and smiled. She probably didn't know how lively her eyes and expression were when she spoke.
Moreover, she was different from the noble ladies from aristocratic families who were reserved and dignified. Her every move and even the curve of her smile seemed to be measured.
But she is different.
Her manners are measured but also free and easy, her behavior is polite but not rigid, she has a lively mind, innovative ideas, and is lively and lovely, especially when she smiles, which is so bright and moving that you can't help but want to laugh along with her.
Li Wanyue: “…”
Did she say anything ridiculous?
But I finally saw him smile, and he looked really good when he smiled. It's a pity that he doesn't like to laugh. At such a young age, he seemed as if he had seen through the world.
Shen Yu brought several deeds, and Li Wanyue signed them one by one and kept her part.
We agreed to deliver three jars of bean paste tomorrow, and then a few days later, when the other batch is ready, we will pay for it together with the spring bamboo shoots at the end of the month.
And Baiweilou should just serve mung bean noodles from now on.
Li Wanyue wrote down the recipes of several dishes she cooked that day, and also wrote ten more. Since the other party was so generous, she had to make use of it.
Seeing that she had written so many recipes, Xie Yan asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid that Baiweilou will deny it?"
Li Wanyue smiled and said, "I believe Master Xie and Boss Shen. If they really don't admit it, I will consider it as a good deed. I will then post these recipes on the street and tell all the restaurants and everyone. I will also tell other restaurants about other novel recipes."
Shen Yu's eyes widened with determination.
Xie Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't deny it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shopkeeper Li came over with a silver note worth five hundred taels and handed it to Li Wanyue.
"Miss Li, this is the deposit our employer will pay you in advance, and we will deduct it from the commission later."
Li Wanyue was not polite and took it and thanked him.
The kitchen had already prepared the ingredients according to the list and asked Li Wanyue to teach the chef on the spot.
There are many people in the kitchen, so preparation is fast.
Li Wanyue finished preparing the dish in half an hour. It needed to be stewed. She told them the time and asked them to keep an eye on it.
Shopkeeper Li also had someone prepare a table of wine and food and send it to the private room.
A few people were chatting while eating, and Li Sandong also joined in.
After the meal, Xie Yan said, "I'll let Qingfeng take you back."
Li Wanyue shook her head: "No, my brother and I will go around, you guys go and get busy."
Xie Yan didn't force it, and he and Shen Yu got in the carriage and left.
Inside the carriage, Shen Yu said, "Are you still my extremely smart cousin? You just gave me 20% of the profit. Why haven't you been so generous to me before?"
Xie Yan said calmly: "Are you worth that price?"
Shen Yu choked and said angrily, "Why am I not worth it? I work so hard for the shop every day, can't you see it?"
"If the profits from the tables and soaps are considerable this time, I'll give you more."
"That's more like it." Shen Yu calmed down a little: "Why did you give her so much? You don't really like her, do you?"
"You only see the 20% profit, but don't you see how much profit she brings? Not to mention how much she will earn from table soap, her recipes for those dishes alone will bring the restaurant's business to a higher level than before, not to mention the additional benefits. The recipe for mung bean powder is free, and the bean paste is also given at a low price. I believe she will have more wonderful ideas.
Besides, if we grow sweet potatoes and yams and submit them to the court, it will not only be a matter of making money.”
Shen Yu understood instantly, what he said was right, his cousin was still the extremely smart cousin.
On the other hand, Li Wanyue and Li Sandong first went to the money shop to deposit 460 taels, and exchanged the remaining 40 taels for small silver notes and small change.
Li Wanyue was in a good mood, feeling that all the busy time she had been doing was worth it.
If I had not bought the land, my savings would have been seven hundred taels. Saving money makes people happy.
The two went to Qin's Grain Shop introduced by Manager Li. This is a relatively large grain shop in the county town with a good reputation and has cooperation with Baiweilou.
She introduced herself as Shopkeeper Li, who received her warmly.
She bought 500 kilograms of mung beans in the store's inventory, and also bought 50 kilograms of broad beans and some rice, flour, and chili peppers. She asked the shopkeeper to send someone to deliver them to Daohua Village and agreed on the supply arrangements for the next three months.
Then they went to the furniture store that Shen Yu mentioned. The owner of the store asked Zhao Dafa to come over every day to discuss making tables.
After solving these two problems, the two of them strolled slowly on the street.
"Sister, is there anything else we want to buy?"
Li Wanyue said: "No, after all, the county town is bustling."
"It is lively, but I still think our village is the best," Li Sandong replied.
"Yes, our village is pretty good, but it's still good to go out for a walk from time to time. Mom and her family haven't been to the county town yet, right? Next time, bring mom and sister-in-law Xiaolan and the others to come for a walk."
"Dad used to go hunting and sell game, so he often came out. Mom rarely even went to town, let alone Xiaolan and the other kids. But it seems that there will be a temple fair in this county soon, so we can bring them over then."
"The temple fair, that's fine." Li Wanyue nodded. After all, everyone had to pay a copper coin to come to the county town, and few people in the village were willing to do that, so it was just right to bring them to the temple fair.
Li Sandong thought of shampoo and asked, "Sister, since Mr. Shen doesn't plan to sell shampoo, can we sell it ourselves?"
Li Wanyue nodded: "You can try opening a store in the town first. In the county, there are many people to deal with and I have to deal with all parties. I prefer to find a cooperative store."
"Sister, you said last time that the Rouge Shop is easy to sell. Let's go take a look."
"Okay, then you can talk to the shopkeeper."
"I'll go if I want." Li Sandong is no longer afraid of these things.
The two walked for a while and saw a shop called Yuerongzhai. The shop was very big and they walked in.
Inside are counters set up around the left and right walls, and the goods are neatly displayed on the counters.
Before Li Wanyue had time to take a closer look, she heard a puzzled voice.
