Running with the ball in the lean years, the evil mother-in-law and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 39 Talking about Cooperation (1)

After Bai Taotao drove the bullock cart to Baitang County, she handed the goods to Boss Zhu. After settling the money, she went directly to the county government office.

The magistrate had already greeted her, and as soon as the concierge saw Bai Taotao coming, he immediately led her into the inner hall.

In the inner hall at this time, Mr. Shen and shopkeeper Qin from Yuelai Restaurant have been waiting there for a long time.

Bai Taotao knelt down and saluted the county magistrate: "A civilian woman has met Mr. Shen."

"Madam Chen, please get up quickly. This is the shopkeeper Qin of Yuelai Restaurant that I told you about."

Bai Taotao looked at Shopkeeper Qin, who was almost forty years old, and said politely: "I've heard about Shopkeeper Qin for a long time, but I didn't expect Shopkeeper Qin to come here in person for a business deal."

"Madam Chen, I have misunderstood. Mr. Qin did not come here specifically for a business. I received a letter from Mr. Shen yesterday. It happened that Mr. Qin was coming to visit an old friend in the past two days, so I thought we could just go together. Yes, it’s okay for the Chen family’s wife to go to Fucheng again.”

"So it turns out that Shopkeeper Qin was thinking about Zhou Dao."

After finishing speaking, Shen Zheng noticed Bai Taotao's injured arm, so he pointed at her wound and asked, "What's Mrs. Chen's hand? Why is it injured?"

Bai Taotao didn't hide it. After all, such a big thing happened, and she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.

So he replied: "On the way to the county seat just now, Master Najue sent people to come to trouble me again, and I was accidentally injured by them."

When he said this, Shopkeeper Qin frowned silently, but he was still caught by Bai Taotao.

She also quietly pretended not to notice.

On the contrary, Shen Zheng continued to ask with concern: "Why don't you go see a doctor first if you are injured?"

After saying that, he loudly ordered his servants: "Come here, go and invite the doctor."

"Master Shen, there is no need to bother the doctor. This is a minor injury. I can just take care of it myself when I get back later."

"You are a pregnant woman, so you must not be careless. Since I have seen it, there is no reason to ignore it. It's just that Master Jue..." Shen Zheng felt a little embarrassed when he mentioned Master Jue, and then quietly turned aside Shopkeeper Qin.

Shopkeeper Qin raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "This master is a distant relative of an old lady from the Shangjing Shang family. He is always very arrogant. He really won't take Master Shen seriously as a small county magistrate. This Mrs. Chen really can’t blame Master Shen for what happened, it’s not that he doesn’t care, it’s just that he can’t control it.”

"Shopkeeper Qin is serious, I don't mean to blame Mr. Shen."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Chen, Master Najue will probably not mess with you again in the future."

After hearing this, Bai Taotao was slightly startled: "Why?"

"It's fate that you and I meet each other. Regardless of whether we have negotiated a cooperation or not, Mr. Qin will give him a hard time and make him behave honestly."

Bai Taotao frowned slightly after hearing this, but she didn't say much.

This has been the case since ancient times. It is not a matter of no one being able to control some people or bad people, but a matter of whether they can control them.

If the person surnamed Jue is touched, it will affect the Shang family in Shangjing. If the Shang family is affected, something else may be affected. If they are not managed well, they may turn Shangjing upside down.

Seeing Bai Taotao's dissatisfaction, shopkeeper Qin added: "Don't worry, everything that this person named Jue has done is clear. Some people don't want to deal with it, but they need to wait for someone to do it." When the time comes, please wait patiently, Mrs. Chen." After hearing this, Bai Taotao nodded: "Okay."

Seeing Bai Taotao agree, shopkeeper Qin was relieved of his worries.

Sure enough, the lady of the Chen family in front of me is indeed a smart person, she understands everything at once.

Although Shopkeeper Qin is just the shopkeeper of a restaurant, he has been with King Zhennan for more than 20 years, and he still has some skills in judging people.

The lady in front of her is definitely not an ordinary village woman, and the master Najue sent someone to do something more than a simple meeting and chat.

This lady from the Chen family was able to escape from those killers smoothly, and even suffered only a few scratches. This shows that her skills are definitely superior to those killers, and she can never be as powerless as she seems on the surface. ordinary village woman.

If he hadn't warned the wife of the Chen family, she might have become angry and massacred the entire Jue family while the night was dark and windy.

Once the Jue family is passive, the plans for Shangjing will be completely disrupted.

Fortunately, Mrs. Chen is smart and can understand the meaning of his words.

Just then the doctor rushed over, and Shen Zheng motioned for him to check Bai Taotao's wound. Bai Taotao sat down obediently and let the doctor check it.

The doctor frowned at the sight and said, "Ms. Chen's wound was from an arrow. This arrow is poisonous, and it's highly poisonous. Why are you fine, Mrs. Chen?"

Bai Taotao didn't hide anything: "I discovered it myself when I was scratched by the arrow, and then immediately took the detoxification pill, so it's okay."

When the doctor heard this, he was a little surprised: "It turns out that Mrs. Chen also knows medicine."

"I met an old miracle doctor who traveled a lot before. She gave me a lot of medical books, and he also gave me detoxification pills. The situation was urgent at the time, and I couldn't take care of that much, so I just took one pill."

"Your detoxification pill is effective. The poison has been detoxified, and the remaining poison on the wound will not harm you. I will help Madam Chen to treat the remaining poison and the wound. It will be fine after a while."

"Good work."

The doctor then cleaned Bai Taotao's wound. After treating the wound, Bai Taotao and shopkeeper Qin officially began to discuss cooperation.

"What do you think about the cooperation in the braised food business?" Shen Zheng had already avoided talking about business. Only shopkeeper Qin and Bai Taotao were in the inner hall. Shopkeeper Qin didn't mince words and went straight to the point.

Bai Taotao thought for a while and asked, "I'm not very good at doing business. Does Shopkeeper Qin have any good suggestions?"

Shopkeeper Qin told the truth: "Mr. Qin has two ways to cooperate. Madam Chen, please listen to it first. You can decide whether it suits you or not."

"it is good."

"The first method of cooperation is for Mrs. Chen to provide you with the recipe for making braised meat and the packets of braised food, and then take 30% of the profits from eating braised food. Or the second method is for our Yuelai Restaurant to buy your recipe for making braised food. Son, we will buy the braised sauce package from you. As for the price, we can discuss it later. Let’s see how Madam Chen chooses!”

When Bai Taotao heard this, she began to make calculations in her mind.

Although the first method is 30% profit, it sounds very tempting, but she needs to provide free recipes and braised ingredients packets. Moreover, she did not participate in the management of the entire business. She did not know how much profit she made, and it only accounted for the profit of this dish. So this account was involved in a lot. How should the cost be calculated most appropriately?
It would be better to just sell the braised food packets. Even if the contract stipulates that she is not allowed to sell to a second store, at least all she gets is cash. How much money does she get from selling the braised food packets? No matter how much profit the braised food business makes? How much has the cost gone again!
"Let's take the second option! I'll supply the goods, and the money and goods will be settled, so you won't have to worry."
