Chapter 25 I won't sell it even if you pay ten times the price
Gu Qingshi shook off her hand, and lowered his voice for fear that the guests would hear him: "Why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known you were embarrassing yourself here, either washing dishes or setting up a stall, you really are..."
Even though more and more people are setting up stalls nowadays, Bai Zhen still holds the old opinion and thinks that setting up stalls is shameful.
She stepped away so that no one could see her face, "Come back with me now, and don't come out again."
Bai Yang looked at them and hurriedly tried to stop them, "Aunt, setting up a stall is good. You can see that our business is pretty good."
"How dare you say that, Bai Yang! How can you follow in the footsteps of fools? Don't you know that Qing Shi will be working in the hospital in the future? How will she meet her colleagues in the hospital? And the business is good? What's the point of it being good? How much money can you make from setting up a stall?"
Bai Yang was embarrassed to hear this, "It's not like we don't make money."
Bai Zhen rolled her eyes and was about to retort when Gu Qingshi interrupted her.
"Whether I make money or not, whether I lose face or not, it's none of your business. Leave now and don't disturb my business."
Bai Zhen was furious, "Gu Qingshi!"
"If you don't want to embarrass yourself by following me, just get out!" After saying this, Gu Qingshi walked forward to continue greeting the guests and ignored Bai Zhen.
Bai Zhen really wanted to pull Gu Qingshi again, but when she saw the people who were still waiting in line, she couldn't afford to embarrass that person, so she stomped her feet and left with her head down.
After she walked away, she remembered that she was so angry with Gu Qingshi that she forgot to talk about the business, and Lao Liang was waiting for her at home.
Bai Zhenlai was just an interlude, to arouse the curiosity of the people who were buying things.
"Boss Gu, who was that just now?" The eldest sister who was the first to open the shop for Gu Qingshi asked curiously as she handed the lunch box to Gu Qingshi.
"My mother." Gu Qingshi answered casually without saying more, "What kind of porridge do you want today?"
"Corn and yam porridge, let's change the taste for the old man." The eldest sister laughed and said, "My old man loves to drink your porridge now. He feels much better after drinking it and sleeps better at night."
The old man worked hard all his life and ended up being sick. Now that his life is better, she wants to be nice to him but there is no way. However, he felt much better after she bought him some porridge.
Corn and yam porridge is a newly added porridge dish. The corn and yam are both grown by Gu Qingshi in the space.
The next customer didn’t buy porridge, but pickled radish, which is also a best-seller on the stall.
The porridge was originally given as a free gift, but soon someone asked if they could buy pickled radish specifically.
Radish itself has the effect of quenching thirst and aiding digestion, and the effect of space-produced radish is even better. Some people have hot body and are always thirsty, and their condition improves after eating radish.
There is also an elderly man who has always had poor digestion. He will accidentally overeat and often burp.
The burping sound was unpleasant, and the daughter-in-law was very disgusted and said she was disgusting, causing the old man to have to look at the daughter-in-law's face every time he eats. After eating the pickled radish, his digestion improved a lot and he no longer burped at any time. The old man would come to buy some every day.
The guest who came after the old man asked Gu Qingshi if the patient could eat the porridge.
They were all holding lunch boxes and upon asking I found out they were family members of patients at the county hospital.
The small market is across the street from the hospital. When the patients' families passed by, they thought the porridge smelled good and bought some to try. Then Gu Qingshi's porridge entered the inpatient market.
The patients in the inpatient department were not feeling well and had poor appetites, but they could eat Gu Qingshi's porridge.
Word spread, and everyone knew about it, so they started asking around and came here specifically to buy it.
When Gu Qingshi heard that the porridge was for the patients, he listened carefully and gave suggestions. Because there were many patients' families, the porridge was sold out quickly.
Just as Gu Qingshi and Bai Yang were closing their stall, a man came running over.
It was none other than Fang Wen.
Fang Wen was looking for Gu Qingshi but couldn't find him for a while. He was frowning while trying to buy dinner for Lu Yuan. Then he smelled a fragrance when passing by the inpatient department.
Thinking the taste was delicious, Fang Wen went to ask about it, and unexpectedly he found out the whereabouts of Gu Qingshi.
Fang Wen asked for the address and rushed over, but was a step late.
The lady who was setting up a stall next to him enthusiastically told Fang Wen: "Come tomorrow morning. Xiao Gu comes here to set up a stall every day."
This was the only way to go. Fang Wen nodded and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
*****
When Gu Qingshi returned home and saw Lao Liang, he was not too surprised.
"Xiao Gu, you're back." Lao Liang, who had been waiting for a whole day, stood up suddenly when he saw Gu Qing.
"Is there something wrong?" Gu Qingshi's face was cold.
Bai Zhen, who was still angry with Gu Qingshi and didn't want to pay attention to her, couldn't help but said, "Boss Liang has been waiting for you for a whole day, please be nicer."
"It's okay, it's okay." Without Gu Qingshi saying anything, Lao Liang waved his hands to indicate that he didn't mind.
He rubbed his hands and said, "Xiao Gu, our family was wrong before. I want to apologize to you."
"Oh." Gu Qingshi said "oh" and didn't respond.
Lao Liang awkwardly replied, "After you left, the restaurant's business plummeted, so I thought about buying some more vegetables from you. Everyone loves the vegetables you sell."
He quickly added, "We'll raise the price, as long as you're willing to sell it to me."
"Not for sale." Gu Qingshi said bluntly.
"We'll give you double the price." Lao Liang added quickly.
"It's useless even if you increase the price tenfold. I've already said before that I won't sell this dish to your family anymore."
Bai Zhen and Duan Renjie were stunned watching from the side. Why was Lao Liang so humble?
Gu Qingshi was so excessive, yet he just smiled bitterly and didn't scold him?
When Duan Renjie heard the ten times, he was very excited. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Gu Qingshi say.
"Go away, and don't come to me again. If I say I won't sell it, then I won't sell it."
"Xiao Gu, please."
"I beg you, too. Don't bother me again. I don't want to be scolded by the boss lady again."
Lao Liang paused, "I'm sorry, Xiao Gu, I'm sorry"
He didn't dare to say much, and just forced a smile at Duan Renjie and the others. He didn't even bother to say hello and left with a bitter face.
Bai Zhen couldn't help but ask, "Qingshi, Boss Liang has begged you, why do you still have that attitude? What kind of vegetables do you sell?"
"Don't you think it's embarrassing for me to set up a stall? Why are you asking about selling vegetables?" Gu Qingshi was too lazy to say more and went straight back to his room without paying attention to Duan Renjie's questions.
Seeing her like this, Duan Renjie thought about going to Lao Liang to find out clearly tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, more than an hour later, Lao Liang came again with the proprietress.
After Lao Liang went back, he told the boss's wife about it. They both thought that Gu Qingshi was still angry. The boss's wife also knew how powerful he was, so she gritted her teeth and came.
The proprietress apologized to Gu Qingshi as soon as she arrived, "It's all my fault that I was blind and didn't know you well. But Xiao Gu, please help us. Our restaurant is about to close down. Please have pity on us and sell us some food."
"Didn't you do business without my vegetables before?" Gu Qingshi shook his head, "I still say the same thing, I don't sell my vegetables."
"The price is negotiable, as long as you are willing to sell it." The lady boss gritted her teeth, "Ten times is fine!"
She believes that as long as it tastes good, they can sell it even if they pay more.
"I told you I wouldn't sell it even if you offered ten times the price."
