The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 190 Little Ayu Talks Business
"Better than a lottery?"

Little Ayu racked her brains for a long time, but couldn't think of anything better than a lottery.

[Your mission this time is a series of quests. The first step is to rescue the merchant, and the second step is to finalize a business deal with him.]

[Once your transaction price exceeds 1000 taels of silver, the Space Mall access will be available!]

1000 taels of silver. If this were in the past, seeing how slowly the Wang family made money, Tuanzi would probably have to wait until the child grew up to earn that much.

But recent events have given it hope.

The Wang family members are not stupid; they know how to use connections. Given enough opportunities, they can rise to power.

Of course, this is inseparable from the help of the child.

When Xiao Ayu heard that it would cost 1000 taels of silver, she was completely bewildered.

She can now count up to 100, and roughly knows that 1000 is 100, which is the same as 10 fingers.

That was a number she had never imagined, so many!

"Is 1000 taels of silver a lot? Does Uncle Chen have that much silver?"

Uncle Chen is that businessman, his name is Chen Yuan.

Don't worry, it will definitely be there.

Chen Yuan's current target price is not 1000 taels, but 800 taels.

These are words that Tuanzi overheard after spending energy to learn about the mission.

Actually, this price is already quite high. If he encountered other small workshops, Chen Yuan would only offer 100 or 200 taels at most.

The reason he offered 800 taels was because he wanted to repay a debt of gratitude; the extra amount was the buyout price for the life-saving favor.

Chen Yuan wasn't one to do good deeds anonymously, so he naturally told Wang Chuanyuan and his wife why he had offered such a high price.

Because the amount was so large, Wang Chuanyuan and his wife were unable to make a decision, and Cai Niu was even more panicked and didn't know what to do.

Who has ever seen so much silver?

Even silver notes are exchanged for real gold and silver!
"We really can't make this decision ourselves; we have to ask our elders for permission," Wang Chuanyuan said, rubbing his hands together, his voice tinged with apprehension.

It's really good to be able to earn so much money.

At least their steamed bun shop probably wouldn't earn this much even if they ran it for 10 years.

After all, customer traffic is limited, and they use the best ingredients they can afford, so the cost price is not low.

The net profit was naturally not as high as outsiders imagined.

Old Wang knew about this, but he couldn't make up his mind. He always felt that his wife's decision to let the children open a steamed bun shop wasn't to let them live a simple life in this corner of the world.

What if the prescription is sold, and then the wife has other plans?
Chen Yuan said, "You can discuss it among your family. I will stay here for two more days, and you can let me know the result then."

In fact, Chen Yuan could have simply bought their steamed buns and then gone home to find someone to thoroughly study the recipe, thus saving several hundred taels of silver.

But Chen Yuan disdained to do so.

He doesn't lack this money, so there's no need for him to be labeled a swindler.

It was precisely because of Chen Yuan's act of kindness that he amassed unexpected wealth over the following decades.

But this was something he hadn't anticipated.

Under Tuanzi's guidance, Xiao Ayu first told her family that she was going to find Qin Huai.

Wang Wulang and his friends are now obsessed with martial arts. Because they are boys and older than Xiao Ayu, they have a heavier workload in their studies and are currently practicing at Qin Huai's house.

So Lao Wang's family didn't hesitate and let her go.

The two families lived not far apart, and the people along the way all knew Xiao Ayu and would help take care of the child, so they were naturally at ease.

They never imagined that Xiao Ayu would lie to them.

After leaving the house, Xiao Ayu did not go to find Qin Huai, but instead turned a corner and went to the Nanhe Inn.

Chen Yuan stayed at the Nanhe Inn.

The dining area was located on the first floor of the inn, where Chen Yuan had several small dishes and a pot of wine laid out in front of him.

From afar, you can see a little girl wearing a rosy-colored ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) and a matching hair ornament. Her slightly chubby face moves as she runs.

Beside him, a pure white lamb galloped along.

The lamb was exceptionally intelligent; it first ran to the front to push through the crowd, and then ran to the girl and circled around her twice.

Sometimes, when they thought she was too slow, they would nudge her from behind with their horns. "Little lamb, stop it!" Little Ayu giggled, dodging the lamb and pretending to be angry as she spoke to it.

I don't know if the little lamb listened or not.

As we ran, we arrived at the Blue River Inn.

The innkeeper's waiter was outside soliciting customers when he saw Xiao Ayu arrive. His tired expression turned to joy: "Ayu, you've come to bring your grandfather wine again?"

"Uncle Er, we're not bringing any alcohol today!" Little Ayu smiled and shook her head.

Just as he was about to ask the waiter where Uncle Chen was, he saw Chen Yuan sitting inside.

Little Ayu was overjoyed and shouted in a bright voice, "Uncle Chen!"

After shouting, she lifted her skirt, struggled to step over the threshold, and headed straight for Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan looked at Xiao Ayu running towards him and found it somewhat amusing: "Did you come here specifically to find me? Did your family send you?"

Little Ayu shook her head and stood obediently next to Chen Yuan: "I did it myself."

"Sit here, have you eaten? Would you like some more?" Chen Yuan greeted him while calling over the waiter to bring some sweet cakes.

"I've already eaten!" Little Ayu obediently climbed onto the stool and sat down, then tried to look serious as she said to Chen Yuan, "Uncle Chen, can I talk business with you?"

"Oh, what kind of business do you want to talk to me about?" Chen Yuan replied casually.

Little Ayu: "It's our family's steamed bun!"

The sweet cakes were ready, and the waiter quickly brought them over. When Chen Yuan heard what Xiao Ayu said, he asked the waiter to change them to a private room.

The inn is not primarily a restaurant, and there is only one private room. The previous guests had just left, so we made room for them.

Once inside the private room, Xiao Ayu seemed even happier.

Uncle Chen is so kind; he didn't treat her like a child.

Even though she is just a child.

"Alright, talk to me now." Chen Yuan just had a particularly good impression of Xiao Ayu. Even though they moved to a private room, he didn't really want to talk to Xiao Ayu about anything. He just wanted to make the little girl happy.

Tuanzi had already told Xiao Ayu what she wanted to say to Chen Yuan.

The two are now sitting face to face, and Tuanzi is keeping silent so as not to confuse Xiao Ayu.

Little Ayu thought hard about what the elf had told her, and then asked seriously, "Uncle Chen, can you buy our things for 1000 taels?"

Upon hearing the number 1000 taels, Chen Yuan's eyebrows twitched.

At this point, he began to suspect that the child had been sent by Old Wang's family.

Is he trying to use a child to test his limits?

He doesn't mind taking the initiative to repay a debt of gratitude, but he feels uncomfortable if he expects something in return for it.

Chen Yuan had his own thoughts, but he didn't show them on his face.

"Then tell your uncle, why do you want 1000 taels?"

Little Ayu was completely unaware of Chen Yuan's unusual attitude, and her expression was unusually serious: "Because our family's steamed buns are especially delicious! But, Uncle Chen, you can't make them as delicious as these if you buy them."

The reason why Wang's steamed bun shop can completely crush other shops is definitely not just due to their skills.

Especially Wang Chuanyuan and his wife, they have only been formally involved in making steamed buns for a short time, how much skill could they possibly have?
Moreover, the xiaolongbao they developed has only been in production for a little over a month.

But it tasted so good.

Of course, it's because of Xiao Ayu's magic potion.

A few drops of gene repair agent were added to the well water at Wang's Steamed Bun Shop.

After the gene repair agent was fully integrated, Xiao Ayu even added a ladle of the All-Purpose Water.

She dared not put in any more, because the fairy reminded her that if she put in too much, the person might eat it and then immediately soil their pants.

The secret to Wang's Steamed Bun Shop lies in its vibrant spring water.

The secret lies in Xiao Ayu's hands.

Therefore, only Xiao Ayu can negotiate this deal.

Sometime in the middle to late part of this month, I'll be releasing 25 chapters in one go. I'm currently working on the draft, so please look forward to it.
