Although Xu Congyi was mentally prepared that Tang Wenhao would come to see her, she did not expect that Tang Wenhao would come the day after the Chrysanthemum Poetry Festival. What surprised Xu Congyi even more was that Shen Xiao also came.

"Brother Shen Xiao!" Xu Congyi ran over enthusiastically and greeted Shen Xiao.

"Cough cough," Tang Wenhao coughed to show his presence.

"Mr. Tang," Xu Congyi greeted Tang Wenhao again and invited the two to come into the house for some water.

Seeing that there were guests coming, Xu Liehu and Li Dahua also came out to greet them. They knew Shen Xiao, but they had never seen the boy next to him. Xu Congyi introduced this to his parents as Mr. Tang who bought her popcorn. Only then did Xu Liehu and Li Dahua know that this boy was actually the owner of Tang's Pastry Shop. It was true that appearance was not the best judgement.

Seeing that they had something to discuss, the two left the main room to them. Outside the room, Li Dahua was a little worried and wanted to ask Xu the Hunter to go in and take a look. "Dad, why don't you go in and sit down beside us? I'm afraid I can't handle them all."

Hunter Xu comforted his wife, "Our Yi Yi can do it. Last time, the child went to the county town by herself and was able to sell popcorn. This time, there will be no problem at home. And when we came out just now, if the child wanted us to accompany her, she would definitely ask, and she didn't ask us to stay. We can definitely handle it. Besides, with Shen Xiao's child here, Yi Yi will not suffer any loss."

After hearing what her husband said, Li Dahua felt a little relieved. Although the number of times she had seen Shen Xiao could be counted on one hand, she trusted Shen Xiao. If he was not there, Li Dahua would definitely let Xu the Hunter go in to support her daughter.

In fact, the atmosphere in the room was not what Li Dahua had imagined, but rather relaxed and cheerful. One reason was that the last time Xu Congyi met Shen Xiao was at Tang Ji, and because he was selling popcorn, he was a little nervous and didn't say much. This time, Xu Congyi had a clear mind, so he naturally relaxed.

Let's talk about the important things first. The main purpose of Tang Wenhao's visit this time was to reach a long-term cooperation with Xu Congyi, so he went straight to the point and expressed his ideas.

"Miss Xu, the share of the popcorn from the Chrysanthemum Poetry Festival is nine taels of silver as you said. I brought it to you. Just as you said, many people came to Tangji to buy popcorn. I want to do exclusive business with your popcorn. Is that feasible?"

"Sure!" Xu Congyi answered straightforwardly.

Now it was Tang Wenhao's turn to be dumbfounded. Ever since he took over Tang's Pastries, he had thought about wanting to have exclusive business for the high-quality pastries made by others, but he was either rejected outright or the price was greatly increased. He had never met anyone who agreed so readily.

Xu Congyi originally wanted to continue cooperating with Tangji. As a small person like her, if she sold her products at a high price, no one would buy them, and if she sold them at a low price, she would not make any money. It would be better for her to cooperate with Tangji. She privately asked Xu Liehu to inquire about it. Tangji's industries involved a wide range of categories. Tangji had financial resources and a good reputation, so it was the best business to cooperate with.

"Then Miss Xu," Tang Wenhao asked carefully, "what price do you plan to offer?"

"Still the same as before, Sancheng, how about it?"

"Okay, okay!" Tang Wenhao's face immediately lit up with joy. After all, Xu Congyi was the only one who knew how to make popcorn. He had made sufficient preparations when he came, determined to sign the exclusive business. He even had a silver note worth five hundred taels in his pocket.

"I have another condition," Xu Congyi continued.

Tang Wenhao's expression suddenly became serious, "Please tell me, young lady. I will do as you say within my ability."

"I will start making popcorn in three days. During our cooperation, we will still follow the supply model of the Chrysanthemum Poetry Festival. You will provide me with containers for popcorn, and you will come to pick up the popcorn to be sold the next day on the first day. I will take two days off every five days. That means I will deliver goods to you for five consecutive days, stop for two days and rest, then continue for five consecutive days, and rest for two days. And I will only cooperate with you for one year. After one year..."

"How can this be possible! One year is too short. Miss Xu, please give her a few more years!" Tang Wenhao nudged Shen Xiao with his elbow, motioning him to speak for him.

"Let Miss Xu finish speaking first, don't be anxious," Shen Xiao said slowly.

"That's right, listen to me first," Xu Congyi smiled, "I will only cooperate with you for one year. After one year, I will teach you the recipe for free and I will stop doing it. However, during this period, I may study other food or toys. I hope to continue doing business with you at that time. Of course, I will check everything that can be traded with you. I will never fill in the gaps."

"Ah!" Tang Wenhao's eyes widened. This is not a condition at all. How can this be called a condition? This is clearly a pie in the sky, a big pie at that!

"Whether it's possible or not, Mr. Tang, give me a definite answer." Xu Congyi took a sip of water calmly.

"Okay, okay, of course!" Tang Wenhao had heard Shen Xiao say that the noodle soup recipe was taught to them by Xu Congyi. Plus, after eating such delicious popcorn, he had already determined that what Xu Congyi made must be good stuff.

"Brother Shen Xiao, please help us draw up a contract."

"I brought it, I brought it. I brought paper, pen and red clay specifically to make it easier to sign the contract." Tang Wenhao kept smiling foolishly, no longer as serious as when Xu Congyi first met him.

Shen Xiao quickly drafted the contract. He used the most standard official contract, which detailed the responsibilities and obligations of both parties, as well as the consequences of violating the contract. He carefully checked the contract to make sure there were no loopholes or errors, and then handed it to Tang Wenhao and Xu Congyi. Tang Wenhao took the contract and read it carefully. Xu Congyi was also looking at the contract carefully. This contract was also an important opportunity for her. If everything went well, she would be able to do long-term business with Tang Wenhao in the future and make her family better and better. After confirming that everything was correct, they picked up the pen at the same time, signed their names on the contract, and pressed their handprints. The red handprints were particularly eye-catching on the white contract.

"Miss Xu, it's a pleasure to work with you!" Tang Wenhao extended his hand.

Xu Congyi did not hesitate and extended his hand to respond, "Mr. Tang, happy cooperation!"
