Uncle Wang's wife poured tea for Lin Wanwan and the others and chatted with them warmly.
In less than a cup of tea, Wang Shuigen came in with someone. Lin Wanwan turned around and looked. Oh, isn't this the chief clerk?
At this time, Liu Zhubu also saw her and turned to look at Wang Shuigen, "Is this the girl you mentioned?"
Lin Wan stepped forward and bowed, "Lin Wan greets Master Zhubu."
"No need to be so polite. I didn't quite believe Shui Gen's words just now, but when I saw it was you, I felt relieved."
He looked up at Fu Qiu and Shopkeeper Sun again. Isn't this Shopkeeper Sun from the Fu family? And this young boy is the follower of the eldest son of the Fu family!
Liu Zhubu walked forward quickly, "Isn't this Shopkeeper Sun? I haven't seen you for a while. Who is this young man?"
Fu Qiu bowed and said, "Greetings, Liu Zhubu! I am Fu Qiu, the follower of the eldest son of the Fu family. The son is recuperating at home and should not go out, so he specially asked me to come and observe."
"But this business is..."
"This is a business cooperation between my young master and Miss Lin. Since this is the first cooperation, the young master attaches great importance to it. I hope that Master Liu will not blame you."
Liu Zhubu waved his hands and said, "Oh, it's okay, it's okay. This is also a good thing. Usually, this pig's offal is thrown away. If it is really useful, it will be a great thing. So I hurried over after hearing about it and became the guarantor today."
"Thank you, Master Liu!" Lin Wanwan thanked him again.
"Miss Lin, you don't have to be polite. I thought you were capable at the time. Now I see that I was right."
"Master Liu, thank you for the compliment!"
"Okay, quickly discuss it with Shui Gen, and then sign the contract directly after the discussion. Then go to the county government to review it tomorrow and it will be done."
Lin Wanwan and Wang Shuigen discussed and decided on a price of five coins. Every day, Lin Wanwan would be provided with six sets of pig offal, including pig heads and pig trotters. Five more sets would be added during festivals. If there were any leftovers, they would be sold at the butcher shop. The price was also set at twelve coins per catty. After one year, the preferential treatment would be cancelled. Lin Wanwan would be provided with three sets of offal every day, and the rest would be sold at the butcher shop at the same price. The contract was for ten years, and the price could be renegotiated after ten years. However, during the contract period, neither party could breach the contract. If one party breached the contract, it would have to pay the other party one thousand taels of silver.
Both parties had no objections, so they wrote two copies of the deed, signed and sealed it, and would go to the government office to review it tomorrow.
Lin Wanwan saw Fu Qiu and Manager Sun off, and followed Wang Shuigen to the butcher's shop to get pork offal. There were two pairs today, and since the contract had already been signed, she bought them for five cents, and they weighed 103 pounds.
"Uncle Wang, from now on, you can't sell your pig offal like this. The contents of the pig's stomach and large intestine need to be scraped out. You don't have to wash them, but you can't leave them in, otherwise some customers will be dissatisfied."
"Yes, I can save it. Thank you Miss Lin for reminding me. Let's do this. I'll deduct 20 catties from the weight of these two sets. The total is 83 catties, 415 coins."
Lin Wanwan paid the money, put on the basket and went to buy some buns, then hurried to find Sister Yuying and the others.
When they walked out of the county town, Sister Yuying greeted her from afar, and Lin Wanwan went over and distributed a few buns to each of them.
"I went to the butcher shop to discuss business today, so I'm a little late. Let's eat some buns first. I'm really sorry to have made Uncle Youcai wait for me so late. Uncle, please eat more."
Lin Youcai swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Look at what you said. It's only been a short while. It was common to wait until noon before."
"Uncle Youcai, please take your time eating. I need to go buy something later. Please wait for me for a while."
"Okay, no rush."
Li Yuying asked: "Wanwan, what else do you want to buy?"
"Sister-in-law, I rented a shop in the county town and plan to open it after the autumn harvest. I'm going to order some tables, chairs and benches."
"What? You rented a shop? Why didn't you discuss this with the adults? What if you get cheated?"
"I asked someone at the dental office. The contract has been signed and the taxes have been paid, so there are no problems."
Li Yuying sighed, "Okay, you have always been a person with your own ideas. Just sign the contract. If you have anything else in the future, you must discuss it with the adults."
"I know my sister-in-law is worried about me, and she will be in the future. I'll go first, and you guys can eat slowly."
Lin Wanwan found out about the carpenter's shop and went in for a look around. The shop owner was a middle-aged man with a gleam in his eyes. Seeing that Lin Wanwan was young, he started to try to deceive her.
"This table is made of top-quality Huanghuali wood. Take a look at the pattern and workmanship. I'll give it to you for five taels of silver."
Lin Wanwan didn't say anything and went to touch the next table. The boss followed and said, "This wood is red sandalwood, which is very valuable. Many dignitaries use this wood to make furniture! But this table is a bit expensive, it costs eight taels of silver."
Lin Wanwan said calmly: "Thank you, shopkeeper. I'll take another look."
After saying that, she walked out the door. The shopkeeper caught up with her and said hurriedly, "Little girl, you don't like any of them? As for the price, if you like any of them, I can give you a discount."
"Shopkeeper, what's the lowest price for that Huanghuali?"
The shopkeeper sighed and said with a sad face: "Since you like it, take four taels of silver!"
Lin Wanwan smiled and said to him, "I am also a small businessman. Last time I went to the county government to sign the contract, the adults warned me that I should be honest in doing business and be a conscientious shopkeeper. I think this sentence should be given to you, the shopkeeper. I have seen Huanghuali wood. It is oily, yellowish in color, and has beautiful and faint textures. I am afraid that you are selling inferior goods as good ones. You still sell it to me for so much silver. Do I look stupid and rich?"
The shopkeeper didn't expect to make a mistake. He saw that the little girl was young and wanted to make a lot of money, but he didn't expect that she saw through him. He didn't panic, and said with a thick face: "Don't be angry, little girl, blame me, blame me, I was blind and greedy."
