Zhao Taohua smiled and shook her head. "It's just a trial run right now. Even selling for 70 yuan isn't enough to keep up with demand. We're going to raise the price. If you think it's not worth it, you can go back and reconsider."
Not to mention that the seasonings were all surplus from the space and the quantity was limited, just the taste alone was the best in the county.
There is no reason to sell more at a low price.
She needed to use the surplus food as soon as possible to save up 500 taels of silver to upgrade the space system and open up the online shopping express delivery function.
"Since the price is not raised, how much do you plan to sell it for in the future?" asked the shopkeeper Cao.
Zhao Taohua thought for a moment and said, "The price has increased. Eighty cents. Where is the restaurant?"
"Ninety cents. Madam Zhao must earn money first," said Shopkeeper Cao with a smile. Then he changed the subject and said, "But I have an unwelcome request. Madam Zhao, would you agree to it?"
"You want an exclusive?" Zhao Taohua guessed again, they were all old foxes.
Shopkeeper Cao had a teachable expression on his face. "If I can get an exclusive deal, I'll give you eighty wen for the order. How about that?"
Just by providing 30 kilograms of braised meat to Jixianglou, the net profit was 900 wen.
This business...
You wish, this was what Zhao Taohua complained in her heart, but she still smiled and waved her hand. Zhao Sanzhu immediately understood what she meant and handed over something.
It's a scroll.
"This is……"
Shopkeeper Cao knew at first sight that Madam Zhao was not easy to deal with. He had thought she was just a country woman who had never seen the world, but she turned out to be quite resourceful.
When the scroll was unfolded, it turned out to be a rough map of the county town, with the coordinates of the major restaurants marked on it.
"This is……"
Shopkeeper Cao was even more stunned for a moment.
Zhao Taohua pointed at Jixiang Building and said, "There are two other restaurants surrounding Jixiang Building. Although their locations aren't as good as yours, they're still pretty good. To ensure even sales in the future, I'll only supply goods to this restaurant in your area. The exclusive supply fee for this area is fifty taels a year. Once I receive the payment and sign a contract, no matter which restaurant in this area comes to ask for the goods, I won't give them to you. I'll only give them to yours. How do you do that?"
"Ridiculous, this is absolutely ridiculous."
Shopkeeper Cao had never heard of such a thing. He felt that Zhao Taohua was simply arrogant and a butcher. She hadn't even supplied the goods yet, but she was asking for an exorbitant exclusive supply fee.
"If Manager Cao feels it's inappropriate, then forget it," Zhao Taohua said without any intention of making things difficult.
"You woman, you don't understand business at all. Do you think you're capable just by selling braised meat? No matter how delicious your food is, there are so many talented people in this county. Sooner or later, someone will replace you. When that happens, you won't even have time to cry to someone..."
"see a visitor out."
In response to this, Zhao Taohua remained calm and made a gesture of invitation.
Manager Cao could only leave angrily.
But he didn't know that just as Manager Cao left, the manager of another nearby restaurant, Wenxiang Restaurant, came to their door.
It was obvious that the owner of the Wenxiang Restaurant was always observing his rivals' movements. Knowing that the owner of the Jixiang Restaurant was coming, he came to take a look as well.
"My last name is Cui."
"Shopkeeper Cui."
Zhao Taohua smiled slightly.
As for the fact that the shopkeeper Cao was not interested in the exclusivity of the area, he also told the shopkeeper Cui, thinking that he would be scared away again. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper Cui thought for a moment and said.
"Can we find a compromise?"
"What's the compromise?"
Shopkeeper Cui said, "Look, this is our first time doing business, and the Zhao family's braised pork is also the first time being sold in our restaurant. We really don't know how it will perform. As for the exclusive fee you mentioned, we'll give you half, twenty-five taels. Five days later, if business is really good, I'll come and personally deliver the other half. How about that?"
Zhao Taohua thought about it and felt that it was okay, since it was the first time after all.
