Looking at Liu Liang's lewd smile, Wan Shu had only one thought in her mind—Damn it! This is disgusting!
She still preferred Liu Liang's previous unruly demeanor and wanted to ask him to change his ways!
Forget it, I shouldn't waste too much time with such a treacherous and despicable person.
Wan Shu ultimately simply gave a cold rejection.
"There should only be one distributor per street. If distributors are too densely distributed, it will affect sales, and..."
Wan Shu gave a mocking laugh: "Yu Mantang is so powerful, it's the number one restaurant in our Sishui County. I'm sure it doesn't need our low-class braised dishes."
Wan Shu didn't hold back at all; she practically told Liu Liang to get lost.
Liu Liang pretended not to understand, his expression becoming increasingly obsequious.
"Braised food is now famous throughout Jingzhou Prefecture. How can it be considered something that is not presentable? On the contrary, it is a top-notch product that is a perfect match for our Yu Man Tang. It would be best to sell it in our Yu Man Tang."
"As for sales volume, as long as you are willing to distribute your braised food to Yu Mantang, I can guarantee that Yu Mantang will definitely be the restaurant that sells the most braised food in Sishui County!"
After Liu Liang finished speaking, he saw that Wan Shu's expression remained unmoved.
Gritting his teeth, he increased the stakes again.
"I'm willing to give you a purchase price of 50 coins per pound, is that alright? Isn't that quite sincere?"
They work hard to set up a stall and only sell it for 40 coins per pound. If you distribute in large quantities, you can get 50 coins per pound. It has to be said that they are very sincere.
If it were any other restaurant, Wan Shu might have agreed.
Unfortunately, this was not any other restaurant, but Yu Man Tang.
The fact that Liu Liang was capable of making threats in the street is enough to prove that he is of low character.
Whether for public or private reasons, Wan Shu would not cooperate with someone whose character is questionable.
She refused without hesitation: "No matter how much money you offer, I will not distribute through Yumantang. You'd better not waste your time here."
Dazhu and Siya also started to chase people away.
Dazhu: "Can't you understand human language? My mother said she won't distribute it to Yumantang. Get out of here!"
As always, Si Ya was irritable and immediately started cursing: "You old bastard, get the hell away from me!"
Since becoming the manager of Yu Mantang, Liu Liang had never been treated like this before.
He couldn't believe it; he had already humbled himself and begged for peace, yet they still dared to refuse him!
He immediately lost his composure, his smile vanished, and his eyes flashed with malice once more.
"Yu Mantang is a property of the Zhong family. Do you know what the consequences of refusing the Zhong family are?!"
After saying that, Liu Liang waved his hand.
Immediately, several strong and burly guards emerged from the corner and approached Wan Shu and his group.
No matter how powerful Siya and Dazhu are, they are still two underage children. Seeing this situation, a hint of fear appeared in their eyes.
Wan Shu remained calm.
She patted the two boys on the shoulder in comfort, then gave them a cold laugh.
“I don’t know what the consequences will be if I refuse the Zhong family, but I do know what the consequences will be if I commit violence in the street.”
Wan Shu turned his head and instructed, "Da Zhu, go to the county government office now and tell the people there that Yu Mantang's people are trying to do something bad to us."
"I refuse to believe it! How dare a mere Yu Mantang commit such atrocities under the magistrate's nose!"
Wan Shu was right. No matter how powerful the Zhong family was, or how successful Yu Mantang's business was, they were still just businessmen.
How dare a merchant fight against an official? How dare he commit violence in broad daylight?
He put on this show of force only to intimidate Wan Shu and his group in order to achieve his goal.
Seeing that Wan Shu wasn't fooled at all, his face turned green with anger, and he wished he could beat Wan Shu and the others to death in the street!
But he didn't dare to do it.
In the end, he could only wave his hand and slink away with his guards.
Dazhu and Siya watched Liu Liang's departing figure, their eyes still filled with a hint of fear.
"Mother, Yu Mantang is so arrogant, are they really going to do something to us later?"
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
Wan Shu had already observed carefully that although Sishui County was poor, it was well-organized under the management of the county magistrate, and there were yamen runners patrolling the streets from time to time.
As long as Yu Mantang wants to continue operating in Sishui County, it would never dare to do such an unethical thing to them.
However, Dazhu and Siya were young and hadn't received much education, so they didn't understand the intricacies of the situation.
She reassured them for a long time before they were finally completely at ease.
At this moment, Sam-soon also came out of the restaurant.
Sam-soon had a tense face, looking very serious and nervous, but a closer look revealed excitement and joy in his eyes.
When Wan Shu saw his expression, she knew that the negotiations had probably succeeded.
Sure enough, as soon as Sam-soon walked over, she could no longer contain her excitement and gave Wan-soo a silly smile.
"Mother, it's done! I've succeeded!"
"Laifu Inn has agreed to order 20 catties of braised food from us every day at a price of 38 wen per catty!"
Laifu Inn is a small inn with limited space. The order of 20 jin is not a lot, but it is a big step for Sanshun's growth.
"I... I just wanted to give it a try, but I never expected it to actually work! I've finally accomplished something for my family!"
Sam-soon looked at Wan-shu with sparkling eyes, her face practically screaming, "Please praise me!"
Wan Shu couldn't help but smile. She rubbed San Shun's head and praised him generously.
"Good job, Sam-soon! You succeeded so well on your first negotiation. I knew you could do it! You're my precious baby!"
Sam-soon did want some praise, but he didn't expect his mother to be so direct, saying something as cheesy as "You are my good baby."
And she even touched his head, which was really embarrassing!
Sam-soon blushed, but she was unwilling to leave Wan-shu's side no matter what.
Dazhu and Siya, who were watching from the side, looked on with envy.
How awful! They also want their mother to pat their heads!
The two exchanged a glance and then spoke abruptly.
"Mother, we still need to negotiate with two other restaurants later. Could we go and give it a try too?"
Wan Shu was somewhat surprised.
She originally thought that with Dazhu and Siya's personalities, they would need more experience before they would have the courage, but she didn't expect them to adapt so quickly, which required her to take the initiative.
It seems they are very interested in doing business!
If the child is interested, she, as the mother, naturally has to support her.
Wan Shu then gave them another lesson on negotiation skills before sending them to the restaurant.
Unlike San Shun's smooth and quick negotiations, after Da Zhu and Siya entered the restaurant, Wan Shu waited outside for almost half an hour, but they still didn't come out.
