"Mother, we're back." Yi Yami called out, and He Huaizhu came out from the inner room. "How was business today?"
"Of course, they're all sold out. Mom, pour these two a glass of water. We need to go to the main room to talk about things." Yiyami led the two people to the main room.
"I don't know. What kind of cooperation does the young master want this time?" Yi Yami spoke first.
"It would be best if I could buy it out in one go, but I don't know if the lady can accept it?" Gu Beijian asked tentatively.
"No." Yi Yami rejected it outright. "How about I make a suggestion?"
Gu Beijian nodded and said, "Miss Xiaoyi, please speak."
"I make 20 kilograms of braised food every day and send it to Yihuchun. The shopkeeper just needs to pay me monthly." Yiyami said.
"50 kilograms." Gu Beijian took a sip of water.
"50 kilograms is too much. I can't make it. In addition to making a pot of spring, I also have to make some for other customers." Yiyami frowned.
"Then let me tell you, if you sell us the recipe and a whole pot of Chun at once, you won't have to make it anymore. You can ask for a higher price, that's fine." Gu Beijian didn't understand and continued to make the same suggestion.
"This is not a matter of whether to do it or not. I do business not only for money, but also for a sense of accomplishment. I like the satisfaction and happiness on my customers' faces after eating the food I cook. I can't buy that for any amount of money." Yiyami thought of the faces of those customers.
"20 kilograms is enough. It is enough for the guests to eat for a whole day. How can there be so many customers ordering braised dishes alone to go with wine? Besides, you have a chef at Yihuchun who can prepare dishes to go with wine. There is really no need to buy so much." Yiyami explained.
"20 kilograms of each." Gu Beijian finally argued.
"Okay, deal." Yi Yami thought about it and realized that the worst that could happen was that he would just have to sell a few more pots.
"If Yihuchun can come to our village to pick up the goods, I am willing to give you a discount of 20% to 30%. If we deliver it, I can only give you a discount of 95%. " Yiyami said to him.
"80% off? 95% off?" Gu Beijian was puzzled. What was this girl talking about?
"That is, for example, if you pay one hundred wen, I will charge you eighty-nine wen, or ninety-five wen. And so on." Yi Yami explained.
"Okay, we'll send someone to get them." Gu Beijian took out the prepared contract and filled in the content that the two people had just discussed.
The two people confirmed that everything was correct, signed the contract, and agreed to monthly settlement. They made three copies, one for each person, and prepared to take the last copy to the government for registration.
"If you release new products in the future, please consider Yihuchun first." Gu Beijian said to Yi Yami.
"Of course." Yiyami said with a smile.
"Miss Xiao Yi, I want to add a sentence to the contract. The Yi family cannot sell braised food to any restaurant. Except for Yihuchun, the Yi family sells it ourselves. The quantity that one person can purchase is ten kilograms of dishes in total. If you agree, I, Yihuchun, am willing to buy this condition for one hundred taels of silver." Gu Beijian thought of something and added.
"That's fine." Yi Yami was tempted by the offer of 100 taels. Although her business was good, she had only made a little over 20 taels since opening. A big client willing to pay 100 taels directly was naturally good. Even if other restaurants came to buy, she would be a little overwhelmed. She had to make a pot of spring tea every day, and then make the amount she wanted to sell. It was already the limit of her physical strength. Even if several restaurants came to buy, she was afraid that they would not be able to afford it. It would be fine if this person bought it outright, so she would not lose out.
The two completed the contract and stamped it. After confirming its effectiveness, Tianqing took out a silver note worth 100 taels and handed it to Yi Yami. "Miss Xiao Yi, this is a 100 tael silver note. Please keep it."
"Thank you." Yi Yami handed the banknote to Yi Laoer, who took a look at it, gave it back to Yi Yami, and shook his head. Yi Yami understood, and even his father couldn't tell the real thing from the fake.
Seeing her like this, Gu Beijian smiled and explained, "Miss Xiaoyi is always cautious in doing things. You've learned that. This banknote was issued by the Bandai Bank. You can go there to verify its authenticity. If it's fake, you can go to Yihuchun's An to exchange it."
Seeing him being so frank, Yi Yami felt a little embarrassed, but the next second she said, "Okay, I understand. It's getting late. Should I go call Uncle Ma and ask him to take you back?"
Gu Beijian shook his head and said shamelessly, "We've been traveling so long, and we're both a little hungry. I wonder if we can get some food at Miss Xiaoyi's house?"
Yi Yami had not put away the hundred taels in his hand yet. Seeing what he said, it would be bad not to invite anyone to dinner.
"Of course you can. Young Master, please wait a moment. We will serve dinner later." Yi Yami put away the hundred taels of silver note and walked towards the kitchen.
"Don't call me Young Master anymore. Just call me Abei. That's what my family members call me." Gu Beijian followed behind Yi Yami.
"Huh? Then it's not okay for me to call you that?" Yiyami was surprised.
"There's nothing wrong with that. My friends call me that, too." Gu Beijian watched her enter the kitchen and process the ingredients skillfully. Suddenly, something occurred to him, "I'm older than you. Otherwise, you can call me Brother Beijian."
Yiyami looked at him with disgust and said, "Young Master, is there something wrong here?" Yiyami pointed with her finger.
"No, Yiyami! I'm very smart!" Gu Beijian was furious when he saw her actions.
"I just don't want to hear you calling me Young Master all the time. It sounds like a businessman. I'm such a handsome man with elegant appearance, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. I think it's more appropriate for me if you call me Brother Beijian." Gu Beijian touched his hair arrogantly.
Yi Yami and He Huaizhu, who was making the fire, both laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at? Aren't you handsome? Aren't you good-looking?" Gu Beijian looked at the two people.
