The beauty of the lady

Chapter 31 The Great Harvest

Hearing what his daughter said, Zhou Zhuang really felt that he was a bit of a loser in this deal. If he sold it himself, he would slowly make a fortune. According to what his daughter said, a plate is actually sold for five copper coins. It won't be long before you can save some money.

"Then why do we still want to buy it?" He asked the doubts in his heart.

"Naturally, in the long run, the most important thing for us is to cure my mother's illness first. This is more important than anything else. There are too many profitable livelihoods in the world. Without this, there are other things. There are priorities."

"Yes, yes, what you said makes sense." Zhou Zhuang nodded.

Not long after, the guy came back and said with a smile to them: "You two, please wait a moment. Our shopkeeper will be here later. Now the younger one will make tea for you. Please sit down for a while."

Not long after, the store clerk brought over a pot of tea, which tasted very good, but it was not unusual for Zhou Mei.

Shopkeeper Li looked at the brown but vaguely transparent pigskin jelly in front of him, and shook his head after a while and said, "To be honest, this is the first time Li has seen this thing, and I don't know what kind of food it is. ?”

"This is pork skin jelly. My little girl researched it by accident. Our family and neighbors tasted it. It's very refreshing. It's not a problem to eat it in winter. It's even more refreshing when it's hot. So I want to ask Mr. Li. , Do you want this deal?" Zhuang Zhou didn't know what to do, and his words were a bit weak.

You must know that there is no profit, and the most important thing for a businessman is profit. Although it is Wednesday Zhuang who takes the initiative, if he lacks confidence, he will be controlled by others.

Shopkeeper Li did not express his opinion, but asked Zhou Zhou Zhuang: "How to eat this pigskin jelly?"

"You can just eat it like this. It's a cold food in itself. Cut it into pieces and then dip it in garlic." After speaking, he handed the pork skin jelly to the shop assistant next to him.

The shop assistant was instructed by the shopkeeper, and then went to the kitchen with the thing in his hand.

"Mashed garlic should be seasoned with soy sauce and vinegar." Zhou Mei said aloud.

The shop assistant nodded and disappeared into the kitchen.

In less than 2 minutes, the store clerk came out with a plate of sliced ​​pork skin jelly and a bowl of garlic paste, and handed shopkeeper Li a pair of chopsticks by the way.

Shopkeeper Li picked up a piece, but missed it because it was too slippery, which made him pause for a moment, then carefully picked up another piece with a little garlic paste in his mouth, and slowly tasted it.

After a while, he put down his chopsticks and remained silent.

Zhou Mei looked at his nose and heart, and didn't say a word, but Wednesday Zhuang kept beating drums in his heart, whether shopkeeper Li likes it or not.

"Shopkeeper Li, what do you think of this dish?" Zhou Zhuang asked anxiously.

Shopkeeper Li looked at Zhou Zhou Zhuang, smiled slightly and said, "It's not bad, but if I sincerely want it, what price does this brother want from me?"

"300 taels." Zhou Mei didn't wait for Zhou Zhouzhuang to speak, and directly gave out a number.

Zhou Zhuang immediately raised his heart, 300 taels?When you came here, didn't you still say that it only costs 200 taels?This has increased by 100 taels all of a sudden, is it okay?
The shopkeeper Li's eyes indeed shrank, and then he looked up at Zhou Zhouzhuang and said, "What's your name, brother?"

"My name is Wednesday Zhuang." Wednesday Zhuang hurriedly got up and said.

Shopkeeper Li pressed his hands and signaled Zhou Zhouzhuang to sit down, then looked at Zhou Mei, who was about six or seven years old, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou's house is the little girl's decision?"

"This..." Zhou Zhuang said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "It's true, the mother-in-law's illness is all handled by this child inside and out."

"That's how it is. It stands to reason that this dish is really good, but the 300 taels is too expensive. Please forgive Li for not being able to offer such a high price."

Zhou Mei didn't reduce the price either, but got up and said to Wednesday: "Father, let's go to another shop to see."

"This..." Zhou Zhuang looked at shopkeeper Li, then at his daughter, and finally sighed in his heart, and stood up.

Shopkeeper Li said calmly at this time: "I will offer 50 taels, even if you go to other places, you may not be able to pay this price."

"Well, I know, if I sell it to someone else, I only need ten taels of silver." Zhou Mei nodded.

"Why is that?" Shopkeeper Li couldn't understand this little girl, and the difference was too big. Is it because he looked at the signboard of Xiankeju to blackmail him?
"No reason, it's just because shopkeeper Li doesn't know the goods." Zhou Mei said lightly.

Shopkeeper Li smiled, looked at Zhou Mei and said with a smile: "Little girl, although the old man is not very powerful, but he can be sent by the boss to look after a restaurant, and he is confident that his experience will be no less than your little girl. How can he be ignorant of goods?"

Zhou Mei didn't discuss the issue of experience with him. Even if she did, the shopkeeper Li still couldn't compare to her. In her previous life, the company owned by Zhou's consortium had tens of thousands of employees and nearly a hundred hotels and restaurants.

"How much does shopkeeper Li think such a plate of pork skin jelly can be sold for?" Zhou Mei asked as a consultant.

Shopkeeper Li thought for a while, then stretched out three fingers and said, "Three coins."

"The pork skin jelly I make can easily make [-] plates at a time. Does shopkeeper Li know how much these [-] plates cost?" Zhou Mei said with a smile.

Shopkeeper Li shook his head slowly when he heard the words, "I don't know."

Zhou Mei then stretched out a slap and looked at shopkeeper Li confidently.

"Five coins?" If that's the case, they really earned a lot.

"Five copper coins." Zhou Mei's voice was very soft, but it fell into Shopkeeper Li's ears, causing him, a businessman, to almost jump up.

"How much did you say?" he asked again.

Zhou Mei looked at Shopkeeper Li with clear and transparent eyes, "Treasurer Li heard correctly, you only need five copper coins. Shopkeeper Li has to bargain with people like us for a lucrative sale, which is a bit petty."

Shopkeeper Li was not angry when a little girl said that, but seemed to see a great business opportunity.

"Really?" This is violence, and it can even be called a waste of money.

"Of course, this is the only one for Dayan Dynasty. I don't know if shopkeeper Li still wants to bargain with us poor people? If you really want to talk, we can talk about it."

Zhou Zhuang was completely stunned when he heard it next to him, didn't he agree to let him talk this time?But now seeing that her daughter dared to talk to the shopkeeper like this, she didn't know what to say, so she could only be dragged by Zhou Mei to sit down again.

"If that's the case, I'll give you 300 taels." Shopkeeper Li tapped his index finger on the table and said.

"As expected, we did not misunderstand the person, so thank you Uncle Li." Zhou Mei said with a smile.

Shopkeeper Li also took a second look at Zhou Mei. He had returned to Shopkeeper Li before, but as soon as he agreed, the little baby started calling Uncle Li.
