Seeing his attitude, Chen Qingqing's face darkened. He was truly a big business bullying its customers, a petty person with a mouth full of hostility.
It's like someone owes him hundreds of coins. With a shop assistant like that, this shop is doomed to fail sooner or later.
She said coldly, "Sorry to bother you."
After saying that, he waved to the little fish behind him, "Little fish, let's go."
"Wife, he's bullying us. We won't leave until he apologizes." Xiaoyu looked at the waiter with a stubborn expression.
"Oh, what an idiot." The waiter sneered disdainfully. "Are you sick in the head? You want me to apologize? Get lost. I'm too busy to waste my time with you."
Without a word, Xiaoyu stepped forward, grabbed the waiter by the collar, and punched him. "Apologize! Apologize to my wife! Or I'll kill you!"
"Someone's been hit! Someone's going to die!" The waiter was so frightened his face turned pale.
Hearing the commotion, the man who appeared to be the shopkeeper quickly approached and asked the waiter, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Shopkeeper, these two are just looking for trouble." The waiter feigned grievance and pointed at Chen Xiaoyu, "I said a few words to them, and this silly boy started hitting me."
"How are you guys managing this place? If you find anyone causing trouble in the future, politely ask them to leave. If they don't listen to your advice, don't waste words, just drag them out. Don't make a scene here and affect the business."
The shop assistants nodded and bowed repeatedly, "Yes, yes, we've got it."
They turned around, their expressions instantly changing, and said to Chen Qingqing and Chen Xiaoyu in an annoyed tone, "Hurry up and leave, or we'll have to physically remove you."
Seeing this, Chen Qingqing knew the principle of "a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle." In this situation where the dog was relying on its master's power, there was no way to reason with him. Staying would only lead to more losses. So she quickly pulled Xiaoyu out of the grocery store.
"Wife, those people bullied you, I'll go and get revenge for you." Chen Xiaoyu was indignant and wanted to go in.
"Little Fish, I'm not angry. Our brown sugar is so good, it's their loss if they don't want it. Let's go, we'll meet someone who appreciates its value."
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."
The two walked a little further and saw a shop not far away.
The plaque above the entrance reads "Anyang Grocery Store".
Chen Qingqing walked in quickly and looked around, only to find that this store was even larger than the one she had just seen.
As she walked and looked around, she inadvertently came to the counter selling brown sugar. She quickly bent down to examine it carefully, smelled it, and immediately felt more confident.
In terms of both color and taste, her brown sugar is even better.
The shopkeeper of a nearby general store saw Chen Qingqing standing in front of the brown sugar display case, looking at and smelling it for quite a while.
The waiters were all busy attending to customers, so he had to come up to them personally.
"Young lady, our brown sugar has a rich flavor and no off-flavors. This is all we have left. If you're not sure, you can try some."
Chen Qingqing came to her senses and realized that a young man in his twenties was standing next to her.
She quickly explained with a smile, "Sorry, I'm just browsing, I'm not buying any brown sugar."
"Okay, no problem, just let me know if you need anything."
Seeing that he spoke to her so politely, Chen Qingqing quickly asked, "Hello, I would like to meet your shop owner. I wonder if you could help me introduce me?"
"I am the owner of this shop. May I ask if you need anything, young lady?"
Chen Qingqing was taken aback, quite surprised. "Hello, shopkeeper, may I ask your surname?"
"My surname is Jiang," Manager Jiang replied, bowing slightly.
Chen Qingqing nodded and smiled. She didn't want to keep them in suspense and went straight to the point, stating her purpose.
"I'd like to ask if you purchase large quantities of brown sugar here?"
Manager Jiang was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. "You mean you have brown sugar?"
"Yes."
"Great, this way please, young lady. Let's go inside and discuss this in detail."
Manager Jiang was delighted; the shop's brown sugar was almost sold out, but the delivery merchant was still nowhere to be found.
If we really run out of stock, not only will it affect business, but we may also lose a lot of our old customers.
Upon entering the council chamber, everyone took their seats.
After introducing themselves, Chen Qingqing took some samples out of her backpack.
"Manager Jiang, please take a look and see how the quality of my brown sugar is?"
Manager Jiang casually picked up the brown sugar, smelled it, examined it carefully, and then tasted it.
The quality is pure, the taste is rich, and there are no other off-flavors. It is significantly better than the goods we received before.
He had never tasted such sweet and delicious brown sugar before.
Manager Jiang was somewhat excited, "Miss Chen, how much stock do you have on hand?"
Chen Qingqing could tell from his expression that he was very satisfied with the quality of the brown sugar, and gestured for Chen Xiaoyu to place the brown sugar he had brought on the table.
"We brought ten jin (5 kg) of this. How much would you be willing to pay for it?"
Manager Jiang glanced at the cloth bag on the table, quickly took out a small amount, examined it, and nodded repeatedly, "Not bad, is this all you have?"
"No, this is only a small part; there's more at home."
"You mean you have even more brown sugar?" Manager Jiang's eyes were full of surprise.
Chen Qingqing smiled and nodded, "Yes, my family makes sugar."
"Great, that's wonderful."
Manager Jiang opened the cloth bag again, examined it carefully, and his face beamed with delight.
"Miss Chen, how much do you plan to sell your brown sugar for per kilogram? We can cooperate long-term."
Chen Qingqing smiled and said, "Manager Jiang, you've seen my brown sugar. It's better than the brown sugar you sell here. I'm offering it for 85 copper coins per catty."
Upon hearing this, Manager Jiang was overjoyed. He had expected such high-quality brown sugar to be much more expensive, but it only cost a mere eighty-five copper coins.
You should know that the usual supplier charges ninety coins per pound, which is not only expensive but also means untimely delivery.
If an exclusive sales contract were signed and the products were wholesaled at a price of ninety coins, the profit would be quite considerable.
Thinking of this, he immediately made a decision, "Miss Chen is a straightforward person. She is not afraid of comparing goods, but she is afraid of not knowing the value of goods. Your brown sugar is indeed very good. We will go with the price you mentioned. However, I have a condition. I don't know if I should mention it?"
"Please speak frankly, Manager Jiang."
"My condition is that Miss Chen can only sell her brown sugar to our store in Nanyang County from now on."
After all, the prices you offer are relatively affordable. If you supply goods to multiple merchants at the same time, some merchants will inevitably engage in price wars to compete for customers.
The selling price will be lowered, and profits will decrease accordingly. If you agree, deliver goods to us every three days, as much as you need.
"Okay, deal!" Chen Qingqing didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Without hesitation, she made the final decision.
After finalizing the contract, Chen Qingqing got up to take her leave...
