The waiter opened his mouth in surprise and soon realized that his spring was coming.
In just a moment, his face was as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum. Without saying a word, he immediately invited Xu Feng and the Xu family members behind him into the room behind the hall.
It's normal for a grain store to have a reception room, but isn't this room too big? Xu Ning followed him into the room and found that it was almost as big as the hall outside.
"Miss, please have some tea." Before Xu Ning had finished looking around, the waiter had already brought the tea to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning looked again and found that Old Mrs. Xu and the others were also seated with tea.
This speed is really not slow.
"Young master, please wait a moment, our boss will be here soon." As for the price, since Xu Feng asked for 100 stones, it was no longer up to him to decide.
The waiter walked out of the room with a smile on his face, and a moment later a middle-aged man with a beard walked in behind him.
After the middle-aged man came in, he first nodded to Old Lady Xu, then walked up to Xu Feng very politely and greeted him, and then sat down in front of Xu Feng.
The waiter who followed the shopkeeper in brought several plates of snacks and placed them on the tables in front of the Xu family or on the left and right. After greeting the guests, he stepped aside and stood behind the shopkeeper Chen.
"Young master, my last name is Chen, and my given name is Cheng. I'm the owner of a grain store. I heard from the waiter that you want 100 dan of grain. I'd like to know how soon you can expect it?" When Xu Ning saw the owner coming in, he didn't mention the price first, but asked Xu Feng when he would want it. It seemed that he was sure that the deal would be successful.
Xu Feng was also surprised for a moment, but he quickly realized that the price had not yet been negotiated, so he replied, "How long it will take depends on the price you offer."
Hearing Xu Feng say this, Shopkeeper Chen knew that he was on to something and was not speaking out of thin air, and immediately a smile appeared on his face.
"The price is negotiable. It depends on which grains you want more of."
"Rice, flour, and corn, twenty dan each. Among them, new rice and old rice need ten dan each, sweet potatoes need fifteen dan, and millet and soybeans need ten to fifteen dan each." After Xu Feng finished reporting, he saw that the shopkeeper Chen's expression did not change. His heart suddenly beat fast, and he immediately looked at Xu Ning and asked with his eyes.
Xu Ning had been observing Manager Chen. He felt that he relaxed a little after Xu Feng finished speaking.
Shopkeeper Chen was indeed relieved, because his store had exactly what Xu Feng wanted, and he could get it all today.
It seems that this business will not only be successful, but it may also stabilize prices.
"Then I wonder what kind of price the shopkeeper can give?" Xu Ning signaled Xu Feng with his eyes to rest assured, and Xu Feng continued as agreed and began to negotiate the price.
"Old rice is fifteen cents a pound. New rice and flour will be discounted by one cent. Everything else, like old rice, will be discounted by two cents based on the market price. How do you think this works, young master?"
Xu Feng didn't reply for a moment, because when Manager Chen mentioned the price, he began to brainstorm and calculate how much money Manager Chen's price reduction could save him.
Shopkeeper Chen was not in a hurry either. He picked up the teacup and drank the tea slowly.
"Boss, do you have any grain seeds in the store?" Xu Ning suddenly asked.
"The grains sold in the store come in all kinds of grains. Which ones would you like, young lady?"
"I want some of both. Do you have any other seeds?"
"Of course we do. Besides the usual grain and vegetable seeds, we also have some herbal seeds. Our boss likes to go out to sea, so we have some foreign flower and herb seeds as well."
"How many?"
"Not much, the most is five or six pounds, and the least is only a few ounces."
Xu Ning nodded and said nothing more. Xu Feng also calculated how much profit Manager Chen had given up.
After this calculation, Xu Feng was unhappy.
"Grandma! Second sister, let's go. The shopkeeper doesn't want to do business with us."
