She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

Gu Qingqing's conversation made Lu Xiaocao, who was listening nearby, very worried. What if the other party was not happy with the price and refused to buy the soap?

But she didn't dare to interrupt at this time, for fear that speaking would be wrong and cause trouble for her elder sister. She could only pull at the corner of her clothes to relieve the tension in her heart.

This was the second time that Manager Chai was surprised after seeing Gu Qingqing. He really didn't expect that the woman in front of him would speak and act so methodically.

Even with a 'reminder' to know when to stop.

He had been in Xinzhou Prefecture for a long time. Apart from meeting with several competing families, he had to rack his brains to scheme against each other. Unexpectedly, he met someone who made him think in the village, in a woman.

"What Madam Wen said makes sense. I understand the situation in Xinzhou Prefecture. But what did you mean by that sentence just now? You said you are also going to open a shop in Xinzhou Prefecture? The prices must be the same as ours?"

Gu Qingqing kept a faint smile on her face. "Yes, if I open a shop in Xinzhou Prefecture, the price will naturally be the same as yours. Higher than yours? We are new here and don't have the strength and foundation to challenge you. Lower than yours? I just said that I don't like vicious competition, especially this kind of self-defeating trick."

Manager Chai immediately became interested when he heard her say that, and asked immediately, "You just said that a few shops are enough." After saying this, Manager Chai looked at Gu Qingqing's face seriously and asked, "Then how many shops are enough?"

Gu Qingqing chuckled. She naturally heard the other party's hidden meaning. She didn't know much about Xinzhou Prefecture, so how could she easily promise to name a few?

"To be honest with you, Manager Chai, I have never been to Xinzhou Prefecture. I don't even know how big it is. If you ask me which shops I will sell the soap to, I can't answer. But I can tell you one thing for sure, Manager Chai. All the soaps from me to Xinzhou Prefecture will only have one price. If I find out that someone is maliciously competing by lowering prices, I will immediately cut off their supply."

Gu Qingqing's words sounded powerful, but she knew in her heart that they were just paper tigers.

After all, there are too many ways to maneuver without her catching you, for example: announcing to customers that they will get something for free if they buy soap? Can she control this? Of course she can't.

She didn't know whether Gu Qingqing's words were domineering enough, but judging from the look on Manager Chai's face, it seemed to be useful to him.

"Okay, okay! Madam Wen is a straightforward person, so I won't waste any more words. There are only four flavors of soap, right?"

Gu Qingqing nodded.

"Then for the next half month, each flavor will cost 100 yuan per day. Can you make it here?"

Gu Qingqing shook her head and said, "Not these days. I can only give you 100 yuan a day. As for the quantity you just mentioned, it will take seven days to start delivering. The soap making process is quite complicated, and I need time."

Shopkeeper Chai thought of a series of extremely complicated steps and nodded in understanding. "I will be returning to Xinzhou Prefecture tomorrow. How much can Madam Wen bring back today? In addition, you need to arrange for someone to deliver the goods made later to our shop in Xinzhou Prefecture. That should be no problem, right?"

This put her in a difficult position, because she had no idea where Xinzhou Prefecture was. How long would it take to get back there by donkey cart or mule cart?

If she could arrive on the same day, she could just ask Brother Dong and the others to run errands for her.

If it takes three to five days, she definitely won't agree to deliver the goods.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingqing smiled at the other party with an awkward expression, "I wonder how long it takes for the mule cart to travel from Taohua Town to Xinzhou Prefecture?"

Manager Chai was startled by her question, but then he realized what was going on and laughed, "We set out the morning before and arrived the next evening."

Tsk!

It takes four days to go back and forth. Not to mention whether a human can bear it, even her donkey can’t handle it!

Gu Qingqing didn't rush to answer the other party. After thinking seriously for a while, she answered, "Manager Chai, I can only let you take away 500 yuan today. Starting from tomorrow, it will be 200 yuan a day for seven consecutive days. I have to deliver 1,400 yuan to you first. From the eighth day, I will make 400 yuan a day for you. The journey is not short, and I need to deliver soaps to you in a cycle of ten days. Later, when we make enough goods and meet your needs, we may change the delivery to once every half a month. The journey is long, and I hope Manager Chai will understand."

Manager Chai felt relieved by her orderly answer again, "Okay, I'll listen to Madam Wen in everything."

"Okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation." Gu Qingqing smiled happily at the other party. When the other party also said "happy cooperation", Gu Qingqing raised the corner of her mouth and continued, "Because of the special nature of the materials, I hope that Manager Chai will leave some deposit, so that we ordinary people can feel at ease. Of course, I will take you to get today's soap first."

At this moment, Gu Qingqing no longer had the demeanor of a master negotiator she had just had. She was almost about to describe herself as a penniless pauper just to get the other party to keep more money.

Manager Chai took a deep breath at her sudden change, and even at this moment he was wondering if he had been deceived.

If he hadn't heard that the other party was going to get the soap for him, he would have seriously considered it.

“Also, I still have shampoo at home. I’ll give a jar to Shopkeeper Chai. You can take it back and try it. If you find it useful, just let me know when I arrange for someone to deliver the soap.

......

After Gu Qingqing waved her arms to send the God of Wealth away, she looked at the three and a half large silver ingots in Lu Xiaocao's arms with a satisfied look on her face, "Is it heavy? How about I take one?"

Gu Qingqing had already stretched out her hand towards the silver, and Lu Xiaocao did not dodge, "You can only take one, I'll bring the rest to the house for you. By the way, sister, there is one more thing I want to tell you, today..."

The two walked side by side to the inner courtyard. Lu Xiaocao told Gu Qingqing about the braised meat she brought back, "The braised meat is not sold out yet, let's keep it for everyone to eat in the evening. As for the money, it will be deducted from my share when Sister pays the wages."

Gu Qingqing glared at her coquettishly after hearing this, and then pretended to be fierce and said, "Your sister's family is very wealthy, and she just closed a deal thanks to you. Why does she need you to come and get the money? I think you are here just to embarrass me. Go to the backyard and do your work. I'll ask Wenrou to call Wu Fang and the others."

Gu Qingqing went back to the house and hid the three silver ingots before leaving the house.

Wu Fang and the others had not arrived yet, but Niu Li and Luo Meihua, who were holding a sewing basket, came over after hearing the sound.

Gu Qingqing really had no choice but to accept Niu Li's insistence on helping every day. Perhaps she felt that she had to insist on paying dividends to Meihua, and her family would feel guilty about it.

In this regard, Gu Qingqing simply let her go.

"It's a good thing you're here. Can you give me some advice?" Gu Qingqing pulled Luo Meihua to the main hall in the inner courtyard.

Then I told her that I was going to start a workshop.
