"Little girl, seven copper coins a pound is a bit expensive. I want to buy so much."
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
"Uncle, winter vegetables are already difficult to grow. Even radishes and cabbages cost seven or eight copper coins per pound. My rapeseed sprouts are a vegetable that has never appeared in Nanyue before. If you buy them, only your restaurant has this dish."
"When the time comes, your restaurant will serve this dish. It will be the only one of its kind in the area!"
"With dishes not available elsewhere, are you still worried that your restaurant's business will be bad?"
Lin Jiuyue was almost about to say that her rapeseed sprouts could boost the business of the man’s restaurant.
Although it was not stated, the man also ran a restaurant. Naturally, he understood what Lin Jiuyue meant.
"What you said is right, little girl, but little girl, uncle has something to ask you."
Lin Jiuyue looked at the man with an expression of 'humbly seeking advice'.
"Uncle, if you have anything to say, just speak up. I will definitely answer anything I can."
The man smiled.
"Little girl, your rapeseed sprouts are indeed very good, and they can attract some customers. But can you grow rapeseed all year round? If not, won't my customers be lost without the rapeseed sprouts?"
When Lin Jiuyue first heard the man's words, she was stunned, but the next second, she started laughing again.
"Haha, uncle, there's a saying that scarcity makes things valuable. The rarer something is, the more expensive it is. If you were a customer at a restaurant and asked to eat the same thing every day, would you get tired of it?"
Hearing this, the man nodded thoughtfully.
"Yeah, it does get boring. Little girl, do you have any good ideas?"
The restaurant run by the man is now facing the situation that Lin Jiuyue described.
The restaurant hasn't had any new dishes for a long time, and the old customers have been complaining to me and urging me to come up with new dishes.
But there are only a few kinds of vegetables that can be eaten in winter, and I can’t do anything about it.
In order to add new dishes to the restaurant, the man has been wandering around the streets for several days. Today he finally saw someone selling dishes he had never seen before.
But there were too many people at the time, and the man had no chance to go forward and ask. It was not until most people had left that the man found Lin Jiuyue and asked her in detail.
Lin Jiuyue smiled pretentiously.
"It's not a good idea, but I can provide you with different vegetables in different seasons."
man:……
Each kind of vegetable in the restaurant is provided by a dedicated person.
There are fewer vegetables in winter, otherwise I wouldn’t have to go to the street to look for vegetables whenever I have free time.
"Oh? You can provide vegetables in winter? Other vegetables besides rapeseed?"
Lin Jiuyue thought about it and then nodded.
"able!"
When the man heard Lin Jiuyue's words, he showed his eight big teeth with joy.
"As long as you can provide our restaurant with vegetables in the winter, this rapeseed sprouts, you said seven copper coins a pound, then seven copper coins a pound! Our restaurant will take them all."
Lin Jiuyue swallowed.
Is it all over? I have 20 mu of rapeseed planted at home.
"Um, uncle, my family has 20 acres of rapeseed planted. Are you sure you want all of it?"
man:……
Twenty acres of land, how many kilograms can be harvested?
"Hehe, well, little girl, I apologize for what I said just now. Our restaurant can't handle so much. However, we can still handle 30 to 50 kilograms a day."
After hearing this, Lin Jiuyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If this person wants everything at once, there is really nothing I can do.
After all, I can't pick rapeseed sprouts from twenty acres of land in a day.
"I was so scared. I thought you could really ask for so much."
The man smiled awkwardly when he heard this.
I really didn't expect that this little girl's family actually planted 20 acres of rapeseed. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have said such a boast.
"Haha, little girl, let's make a deal. I'll buy all the rapeseed sprouts from your stall today. If you come here to sell rapeseed sprouts again tomorrow, please send thirty kilograms to our Yipinxiang Restaurant first."
"Well, let me see if this rapeseed sprout sells well. If it does, I'll add some more."
Lin Jiuyue thought about it.
"Okay, I'll send it to you tomorrow."
The man was extremely happy when he heard Lin Jiuyue's words.
"Okay, I'll tell the waiter at the restaurant when I get back, and then you can just send it directly to Yipinlou."
After hearing this, Lin Jiuyue looked at the man in front of her in surprise.
I didn’t expect that this man was actually the owner of Yipintang!
As far as he knew, the Yipinlou in the town was just a small branch, and the main store was in the capital city. The Yipinlou there was truly large and luxurious.
"Uncle, are you the owner of Yipinlou? I heard that Yipinlou has many branches all over the country. Is that true?"
The man smiled.
"Little girl, your question really leaves me at a loss as to how to answer. Yipinlou does have many branches, but they're not nationwide. They are in most cities, though."
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
It is naturally not suitable to open branches in economically underdeveloped areas.
"Uncle, you are really awesome."
The man smiled and waved his hand.
"What's so great about that? We're all just working for others."
"Well, little girl, it's settled. You pack up the remaining rapeseed sprouts for me. By the way, could you help deliver them to Yipinlou?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I can deliver it."
Uncle Li, who was standing by, saw that his daughter had closed the deal in no time. He was afraid that if he spoke a little slower, others would not buy.
"Huh? Aren't you the owner of this grain store? Why did you switch to selling vegetables?"
Uncle Li laughed twice.
"Haha, Shopkeeper Xing, I'm just like you, helping the master. The one in front of you is my young lady."
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Xing looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.
"Oh? So this little girl is the owner of the grain shop? It's Xing's fault that I didn't recognize her."
Seeing that Uncle Li and Shopkeeper Xing were old acquaintances, Lin Jiuyue only charged Shopkeeper Xing 30 kilograms of the 32 kilograms of rapeseed moss.
"Manager Xing, the total is 32 kilograms. Since you know Uncle Li, I'll give you 30 kilograms."
Shopkeeper Xing nodded happily.
"Haha, okay, okay, I just like your straightforward personality."
"Uncle Li, since you and Shopkeeper Xing are old acquaintances, I'll leave the delivery of the food to you."
Thirty-two pounds wasn't considered heavy for an adult, and Yipinlou wasn't far from his grain store. Lin Jiuyue asked Uncle Li to deliver the goods.
"Yes, Miss. I will go right away."
The remaining rapeseed sprouts were all sold to Yipintang, and there was no rapeseed sprouts in front of Lin Jiuyue’s stall.
