Of the family, Chi Sihai reacted the fastest, immediately running out and slowing down only when he reached the courtyard. But the joy on his young and innocent face was impossible to hide.
"Yes, it's us... Oh, it's you, ma'am."
When Chi Sihai saw Aunt Liu, who had bought from him many times before, following behind a man, he knew that his guess was probably correct.
Aunt Liu said with a smile, "Young man, my husband would like to discuss a business deal with you."
At this moment, Aunt Chi opened the curtain and came out, patting the dust off her clothes as she greeted them with a bright smile: "Please come in, esteemed guests."
Sister-in-law Chi hurriedly went to the kitchen to get water to make tea.
The tea leaves were left behind by Nan Xingyi and the others. It was a refreshing plum blossom tea, unlike the bitterness or sweetness of tea leaves in the past. Instead, it had a hint of plum blossom fragrance hidden in its refreshing taste, which you had to savor to appreciate it.
"Please have some hot tea, esteemed guests," Aunt Chi greeted them with a beaming smile, her eyes practically disappearing in the corners of her mouth.
My daughter is amazing!
She said, "How could the desserts made by the fairy's daughter not sell?"
And here they are, coming to our door.
Even though the other party didn't say anything, the Chi family members were already certain that they had come for the plum blossom cakes.
There's no way around it, with Tangtang around, I'm just that confident.
After finishing his tea, Liu Demiao was somewhat surprised.
This flower tea is actually the highest grade. Can an ordinary farmer afford it? Is there a way to buy it?
I heard that a distinguished person stayed at the Chi family's house for a few days recently. Is that true?
In that case, I'm afraid I can't lower my price too much.
What if the benefactor causes trouble in the future? It won't work out.
"I won't beat around the bush. The reason I'm here today is to buy your plum blossom cake making method."
Liu Demiao turned the thumb ring on his thumb with confidence.
Judging from this family's circumstances, it should be easy to acquire them.
Chi Sihai suddenly patted his mother's hand, and after she looked at it, he gave her a deep look.
Aunt Chi then stepped back.
"Boss, I suppose you've tried the plum blossom cakes that this lady bought. Why don't you have your shop's chefs try making them yourself?"
Chi Sihai's words hit the nail on the head.
Who would pay money if they could buy a house without spending any?
Otherwise, why would the other party have bought it three times?
Isn't it just that I want my craftsman to see if he can make it?
Liu Demiao paused, his eye twitched, and he said in a high-sounding manner, "This is food that your family developed themselves. Even if I thought it was good, I would spend money to buy the recipe. How could I possibly develop it secretly on my own?"
"If I wanted to do the research myself, why would I just buy a few pastries? Don't you think so, young man?"
Fortunately, he had a backup plan.
Chi Sihai remained calm; the slender young man stood there like a pine or cypress.
The charcoal fire in the brazier suddenly emitted a slight popping sound.
Liu Demiao and Aunt Liu noticed it immediately.
He muttered to himself: Do these farmers even have the means to use charcoal?
Seeing that the other party had noticed the charcoal, Chi Sihai said casually, "This charcoal is homemade. It's not bad. Take some with you when Boss Liu leaves."
"You made it yourselves?"
Liu Demiao was completely shocked.
Aunt Liu was also completely stunned.
The master and servant exchanged a glance, their expressions a mixture of shock and solemnity.
Could it be that the Chi family really has a powerful backer?
Then they'll have to...
"Yes, after researching for more than ten days, we finally succeeded. Since it's made at home, we'll give you two some to take back and use."
Chi Sihai grinned, his youthful spirit and humility blending perfectly together.
When discussing business, Chi Sihai is a side of himself that no one else has ever seen before.
No longer shy and silent, but poised and confident, with a light in her eyes.
After carefully examining the charcoal, Liu Demiao quickly elevated the status of the Chi family in his mind, treating them as legitimate business partners.
"...Let's not stand on ceremony. I'll buy the recipe for plum blossom cakes for forty taels of silver. They're not allowed to tell anyone else or make them for themselves..."
He originally intended to offer twenty taels of silver.
Sigh, let's not talk about it.
The whole family's breathing became heavy, and Chi Sihai's heart began to pound wildly.
Forty taels of silver!
If they sold them themselves, how many years would it take them to earn that much money?
but……
“My plum blossom cakes are unique, and they have an added advantage. Once the deal is done, I can tell Manager Liu… fifty taels of silver. If you agree, we can sign the contract right away!”
Chi Sihai's palms were sweating.
Although he had worked in the carpenter's shop in the city for several years, he had never done this kind of business before.
That's fifty taels of silver!
Although I'm not sure, isn't that how doing business is?
You try to lower the price, I'll raise it.
If it's a good match, we'll reach an agreement; if not, we'll compromise.
“Young man, you can’t be too ambitious. Forty taels of silver is not a small amount, and you’ve already asked for ten taels more than you should have…”
Liu Demiao gave Chi Sihai a meaningful look.
He could tell that the boy was sweating and his face was flushed; he was clearly very excited.
"The reason Manager Liu is only coming today is because he can't make my plum blossom cakes, right? Since they're unique, they can bring you unique value!"
Chi Sihai said, forcing himself to stay calm.
