Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting
Chapter 30: Only One Gamble
Liu Siyu stared at Manager Fu's inquiring eyes, her heart suddenly exploded, and she instantly realized the seriousness of the matter.
The original owner's memory was just that small mountain village, and her vision was limited. Although she was a time traveler, she had only been in this desolate place for a short time.
In addition, after traveling through time, bad things happened one after another, leaving her no time to think too much. She only wanted to make money quickly so that she could gain a foothold here.
I never thought that hand cream, which is readily available in modern times, might have been a rarity in ancient times.
Looking at the eager look in Shopkeeper Fu’s eyes, you can tell that this kind of moisturizing ointment is probably not something that ordinary people can make.
But the things have already been taken out, and it is definitely unrealistic to take them back.
You can only take a gamble. If you win, you will find a way to make money. If you lose, the worst that can happen is that you lose your life.
Gambling is all about tricking and deceiving each other, and most of the tricks are just fake.
The bet is on who can stabilize the situation better and whoever has a better chance of winning.
Although I was nervous inside, I tried to keep a calm face.
"My mother got the secret recipe by accident, and I only found out about it recently."
Liu Siyu had no choice but to bring up the legendary mother.
No matter whether she is alive or dead now, having a mysterious person behind her always provides an extra layer of security.
"Who is your mother? How did she get this secret recipe?" Shopkeeper Fu stared at Liu Siyu with his bright eyes.
Although her hand cream is not as good as those from wealthy families, it has a herbal and meaty smell.
But it is much better than the mixed paste of fragrant oil and flower petals commonly used by wealthy families.
It shouldn't be a problem to sell one box for three taels of silver.
If you can get this secret recipe, you will have another way to make money.
Liu Siyu felt uneasy when she was stared at by Manager Fu, who looked like a hungry wolf meeting fat meat.
He turned his head slightly and saw a stool beside him. He walked over and sat down, took a deep breath, and calmed himself.
This is how he acted as a negotiator.
"I can't tell you in detail who my mother is or how she got the secret recipe. You took my wild boar meat yesterday. I think you are a good person, so I wanted to cooperate with you."
"cooperate?"
"Yes, what do you think, Shopkeeper Fu?"
Shopkeeper Fu has been in business for many years and is knowledgeable, but this is the first time he has discussed business with a country girl.
I didn't react at once, and after a moment of pause, I looked at Liu Siyu again.
The girl in front of her was indeed not like an ordinary country girl, and she secretly hated herself for being so shortsighted yesterday.
However, when it comes to cooperation, we can neither refuse nor agree immediately.
She had to investigate Liu Siyu's background carefully and get the exact information so that she could seize the initiative.
If you have a backer, try to negotiate well and give a fair price.
If an ordinary country girl had mastered the secret of making money, then...
Thinking of this, the smile on my face became even brighter.
"Little girl, let's go upstairs and talk slowly."
He turned around and waved to the waiter in the distance, "Xiao Wuzi, go and get some tea and snacks. I want to go upstairs and talk to this little girl."
Xiao Wuzi thought he had heard it wrongly, but when he saw the shopkeeper nodded, he went downstairs quickly to prepare.
After sitting down in the private room, Liu Siyu thought that Manager Fu came to discuss pricing or sales cooperation with her.
Who would have thought that Shopkeeper Fu was just talking about irrelevant things, always asking about her family situation intentionally or unintentionally.
Liu Siyu understood that this was a test from Manager Fu. He wanted to understand her personality through chatting with her, inquire about her family situation and learn the real secret recipe of the hand cream.
But she is not a three-year-old girl. Although she is not smooth and tactful enough, she will not answer whatever is asked foolishly.
The two of them practiced Tai Chi back and forth.
After all, Liu Siyu is not an old fox in the business world, and after a few rounds, she felt very exhausted.
I thought that with such negotiations, I might not be able to come to any conclusion until nightfall.
So he said directly: "I know that I came here abruptly today. Whether the hand cream is good or not is not up to me alone. I will leave this bottle with Shopkeeper Fu. You can try it for a few days. I will come again at the next big market. If you think it is good, we can discuss cooperation then. What do you think?"
Manager Fu was also a smart man and he immediately understood that Liu Siyu did not like such temptations.
He smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait and see."
After leaving Cha Xiang Ji, I didn't feel like wandering around. When I came here, I was thinking about selling my hand cream so that I could buy some new things.
But I didn't expect this result. Now I'm penniless. Instead of wandering around here, I might as well go back early and make all the remaining things and put them in the ice cellar.
At noon, Wang and Liu Sihan came back. They picked up a lot of acorns. Together with those picked by Wang yesterday afternoon, there were already quite a few.
There was only a large water tank, two buckets and some half-sized coarse porcelain jars at home. I picked up so much at once that I had no place to soak them.
Wang decided not to go up the mountain in the afternoon and just hammered acorns at home.
After a simple lunch of corn paste, Wang was busy taking care of Niu Zuzong.
Only the brother and sister were left in the room. Liu Sihan looked happy and asked, "Sister, how was your trip to town this morning?"
Liu Siyu naturally knew that he was asking about the hand cream, and shook her head slightly, "I'm not sure yet, I'll know when the next big market comes."
I briefly talked about my experience at Cha Xiang Ji and finally gave a special reminder to Liu Sihan.
"You must keep the fact that we made the hand cream a secret. You can't tell anyone. If anyone asks, just say you don't know."
The more people who know, the greater the risk of exposure.
Liu Sihan didn't know what this meant, he just knew that his sister asked him to keep it a secret, so he nodded and agreed without hesitation.
Liu Siyu cleaned up the dishes and just stepped out of the kitchen when she heard the sound of a gong outside.
She suddenly remembered that Mrs. Zhang would come to her house today to apologize, and she couldn't help but smile.
I didn't expect that Mrs. Zhang, who was always so cunning, would be so obedient and actually go to her house and ring the gong as she said.
Liu Sihan was a little nervous, "Sister, is Mrs. Zhang here?"
Liu Siyu patted Liu Sihan's shoulder soothingly, "She came to apologize to us, not to fight with us, what are you afraid of."
Liu Sihan smiled awkwardly, "I get scared every time I see her. Do you think she will sincerely apologize?"
"I don't care whether she is sincere or not. As long as she looks good to me, I will not make things difficult for her."
As Liu Siyu spoke, she pulled Liu Sihan and walked into the yard.
Wang didn't know that the two children had gone to see Mrs. Zhang at night. When she heard the gong, she hurried out of the cowshed.
"What happened outside?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a noisy crowd rushed into the Liu family courtyard accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums.
Wang's heart tightened and she was about to speak when Liu Siyu grabbed her arm.
"Mom, this is Aunt Zhang coming to apologize to our family."
Wang was in disbelief. Although the village chief had said that day that the two Zhangs should come to her family to apologize, based on her understanding of Mrs. Zhang, she didn't expect her to come at all.
