Li Yan led the two of them to another shop next to a garment shop. The people coming out of the cloth shop saw someone selling charcoal and stopped to ask the price. In just a cup of tea, all the remaining medium-quality charcoal was sold out!
Although they were happy that the medium and low-quality charcoal were sold out so quickly, they looked at the high-quality charcoal and said hesitantly, "Second girl, why is no one interested in such good charcoal? Are we pricing it too high? Why not just sell it for two cents each?"
Li Yan smiled and comforted the two of them, "There aren't many people in the city today, so it's quite remarkable that we can sell out so quickly. Uncle, let's go to Piaoxianglou and ask Shopkeeper Qian if he wants the charcoal!"
Li Dalang became excited after hearing this. Those who came to the restaurant to eat were not short of money. Now that the weather was cold, the restaurant's side rooms must have prepared charcoal braziers for the guests. In this case, he must buy charcoal!
Li Dalang pulled the mule cart with an expectant look on his face, and the three of them headed towards Piaoxianglou.
Coincidentally, when Li Yan and her group of three arrived at the door of Piaoxiang Tower, they happened to meet Shopkeeper Qian who was seeing Qin Yue off.
Qin Yue saw Li Yan walking forward with a smile on her face: "Miss Li, what a coincidence, we meet again!"
Li Yan responded with a fake smile, secretly complaining, "General Qin, why doesn't he take care of his son? Why does he wander around the city all day long?"
Shopkeeper Qian looked at the two people who seemed to be quite familiar with each other and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "This little girl is really not to be underestimated. How can she talk to the big shots in Rongcheng?"
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Qian stepped forward more attentively and asked, "Miss Li, are you here for something?"
Li Yan smiled broadly and pointed to the mule cart behind her. "Manager Qian, I have some top-quality charcoal on this cart. It's not only durable but also produces very little smoke. I wonder if Manager Qian would like it?"
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Qian stepped forward and picked up a piece of charcoal from the basket. He examined it carefully and asked curiously, "Did you buy this charcoal, young lady? It looks really good! How much do you want to sell it for?"
Li Yan smiled and said, "This high-quality charcoal is three cents a pound. I guarantee that after using my charcoal, you will never look down on anything else. Would you like to weigh some to try first?"
Shopkeeper Qian was amused by Li Yan's words: "Since Miss Li said so, I will take all these charcoals! If you use them well, I will buy from you in the future!" Then he turned around and called a few young men to come over to help move the goods.
Li Dalang and Li Wenshan were very excited when they heard what Manager Qian said. They didn't expect that they would find a regular big customer for the village just the next day.
Qin Yue looked at the two people chatting animatedly and couldn't help but walk to the mule cart and look at the charcoal in the bamboo basket: "Did you make this charcoal?"
Li Yan didn't hide it and nodded frankly: "Mr. Qin, can you withstand the severe cold in the northwest? The quality of my charcoal is very good. If you want it, we can also deliver it to your door!"
Qin Yue didn't expect Li Yan to set her sights on him, so he smiled and said, "Since you're so worried about me, send me a cart of coal to the West City Camp tomorrow!"
Li Yan didn't expect that Qin Yue would answer her casual question. She asked uncertainly, "Sir, are you joking?"
Qin Yue straightened his clothes and said, "Sir, do I look like someone who can't afford a cartload of charcoal? Why do I make you so suspicious?"
Li Yan waved her hands repeatedly. The customer is God. Considering that Qin Yue ordered a cart of charcoal, Li Yan said to Qin Yue with a smile on her face: "What are you talking about, Young Master? Young Master Qin is so noble at first glance. Let alone buying a cart of charcoal, even buying ten carts of charcoal is just the price of a meal! I will definitely deliver the charcoal to Young Master Qin at 9:00 PM tomorrow!"
After a back-and-forth confrontation, Qin Yue didn't seem to gain any advantage. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Then it's settled. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
After saying that, he left the door of Piaoxiang Tower without looking back.
Qin Yue couldn't help but feel depressed. Why did he just run away? When he was in the capital, he had made countless ladies cry, so scared that they would take a detour when they saw him. How come he couldn't control a yellow-haired girl here?
After Qin Yue left, Li Dalang finished weighing everything. "Shopkeeper, I have three hundred kilograms of charcoal here! That's nine hundred coins!"
Shopkeeper Qian took out a tael of silver from his pocket and handed it to Li Yan: "It's very cold today, the remaining money is for tea!"
Li Yan took the money and said firmly, "Since the shopkeeper doesn't want change, I'll convert the money into charcoal. We'll send it to you next time we come to town!"
Shopkeeper Qian couldn't help but smile: "This kid, what's so polite!"
Li Yan said seriously, "I'm already very happy that the shopkeeper is willing to buy our charcoal, and we can't let you suffer any loss. We want to do long-term business with Shopkeeper Qian, not just rely on this one transaction!"
Shopkeeper Qian burst into laughter at Li Yan's words and exclaimed again, "What a smart kid! He's a great business prospect!"
