We have separated, what does it have to do with me if my husband's family eats bran?

When negotiating business, one has to raise the price. Cheng Yue pretended to be embarrassed, "This marinade package is our unique secret recipe, and it is made with more than a dozen precious medicinal materials. Fifty cents a package is not profitable.

But Shopkeeper Xia came to our house in person and is sincere in doing business, so I can’t be too stingy. How about this, 46 coins per bag, I’ll make a little less and I’ll just wish you a big business in advance!”

She wanted to say that she would earn less money to make friends, but then she thought that this was ancient times and it might not be appropriate to say that, so she changed her mind when the words came to her lips.

Anyway, having said that, favors have always been sold. She anticipated the possibility that Manager Xia would bargain, so the forty-six cents was planned in advance. It was not a loss at all!

Once the marinade package business is settled, she will definitely have to hire people to do it. In case she sells more in the future, she will definitely have to build a workshop. She has taken all these costs into consideration.

There are ready-made seasonings in the space. If they are not enough, even if you have to buy them at a pharmacy, the price is very profitable.

Having said that, Xia Shenxing couldn't bargain any further. After all, their profits were definitely greater than Cheng Yue's, and saving four cents on a pack was considered a sign of sincerity.

"Okay! That's it!"

Cheng Yue then added, "Shopkeeper Xia, the delivery time will definitely be postponed. We only use the marinade packets ourselves, and we don't have much in stock, so we have to make them now."

Xia Shenxing had already thought of it. After all, he had never heard that Guo Yue was going to sell marinade packages before. It was normal that there was no stock for something that was decided on the spot. Besides, he wanted a large quantity, so it would be strange if he could make it in a short time.

He didn't think that if he talked about business today, the restaurant would be able to serve braised food tomorrow. There has to be a time, right?

Xia Shenxing calculated the amount of marinated food he would need in his mind and said, "We need a large quantity. We need at least 5,000 packs in the first month. How long do you think it will take to deliver?"

Cheng Yue thought about it and decided that five thousand bags was not a lot, but not a little either. If three or five people worked on it a day, they could finish the job in a few days. The main factor was the time required for grinding and bagging.

But at present, we can only recruit people to do it at home, and the workshop has to be built as soon as possible, otherwise it will be inconvenient and the formula will easily be leaked.

It is best to divide the rooms according to the process so that everyone can do their own work without interfering with each other.

But the deal was already done, and she couldn't delay too long. She could only deliver part of the goods first, and then do the rest after the workshop was built.

"It will be in ten days!"

Xia Shenxing originally thought it would take at least half a month, but he didn't expect that the goods would be delivered in ten days, so he nodded with satisfaction, "Okay! Then I'll send someone to pick it up in ten days. Here's the address?"

Cheng Yue said: "Yes!"

Afterwards, Cheng Yue signed a contract with Xia Shenxing and paid fifty taels of silver as a deposit in advance, with the remaining balance to be paid upon delivery.

Xia Shenxing would notify Cheng Yue later as to how many packages were needed, but he just wanted to order as many as Cheng Yue needed.

Anyway, it won't go bad, so just order a lot to be prepared, so you don't have to make trips to Guangyun County again and again.

After the business was discussed, Xia Shenxing asked to take his leave. He had to go back to the city today to report on his work. He did a good job, but he didn't know how his father would reward him.

Xia Shenxing went out with great satisfaction. Chen Lin was still a little overwhelmed. Such a big deal was done in such a short time?

But thinking about the number, I still can't help but worry, "Mom, what are you going to do with 5,000 bags? Can you really deliver them in ten days?"

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Just find someone to do it. Five thousand bags will be ready very quickly."

Then he talked about his plan, "Once the marinade packets are sold, it will not only be Tongchunlou's business, and the marinade packets are consumables, they are sold every month, so I want to open a marinade packet workshop."

The marinade packets can be used not only in restaurants and eateries, but ordinary people can also buy them. Who knows where she sells these marinade packets, but in any case the market is very huge.

Chen Lin's eyes lit up, and he understood immediately, "Mom, when we have stock, we should also tell Dashunzhai. It's more convenient for us to sell the marinade packets directly instead of supplying them."

It goes without saying that the quantity required by Xiaoxiang Pavilion is small.

Cheng Yue patted Chen Lin on the shoulder and said, "How smart! I'll leave Da Shun Zhai to you when the time comes!"

Chen Lin knew that Cheng Yue wanted to train him, so he confidently agreed, "I will definitely do it!"

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Mom believes in you! Go and get busy first. When the cats and dogs come, we will leave first."

They had to go to the government office to sign a deed, and then buy a few small stone mills and cloth to hold the marinade.

The workshop is about to open, and we have the manpower. As soon as the cats and dogs arrive, they have something to do. That’s great!

After saying that, Chen Lin went to work. Cheng Yue went to take a look at the pastries, and then waited in the yard for cats and dogs to come.

After two cups of tea, they came back, with the cats and dogs walking in front, and a timid little girl following behind, with her head down, pursed lips, and her hands tightly grasping the corner of her clothes.

Ah Mao stepped forward and said, "Madam, we have brought my sister here."

Then he turned around and nudged the little girl with his arm, whispering, "A-Tu, come meet the Madam."

His sister had been beaten before and was very timid. He was really afraid that his sister would not be able to speak and Cheng Yue would mistakenly think that his sister was mute.

Ah Tu pinched herself hard, knelt down, and stammered, "Ah, Ah Tu, meet the Madam! Ah Tu, I am willing to follow the Madam and sign the indenture!!"

Today her brother went back and told her that she wanted to be a servant to the kind-hearted lady. She knew what a servant meant and that she couldn't decide her own life.

Even though her brother said that the Madam's family were all good people, she was afraid of being bullied and trembled at the thought of it. But her brother was about to sign a contract to sell herself, so how could she not sign?

When she said this, she didn't dare to look up, because tears kept flowing down her face, she was really scared!

The little girl was shaking and her tears were falling on the ground. Cheng Yue looked at Amao and asked, was she forced to do this?

Ah Mao blushed and quickly waved his hands, saying, "Madam, my sister is timid, I really didn't say anything..."

Cheng Yue thought that she was frightened, and quickly stepped forward to help her, "Hurry up, why are you crying like this? Didn't your brother tell you that you don't have to sign the indenture, and you won't be separated from your brother. Just go home and work."

Ah Tu raised her head in fear. Can she not sign the contract to sell herself? She thought her brother was just coaxing her...

But the lady in front of her smiled gently, and she felt less scared, and spoke her true feelings:

"Madam, it's not that I don't want to be a servant, I'm just afraid, afraid of being beaten to death. Will you beat us?"

It was too late for Ah Mao to cover his mouth. Oh my god, what is his sister asking?

Cheng Yue was amused. This child was too naive. Why did he ask so directly?

"Of course not. You don't have to sign the indenture. If I really hit you, can you just run away?"

Ah Tu swallowed her saliva. She was just timid but not stupid. Looking at Cheng Yue's expression, she knew that she would not hit anyone. She must be a good person like her brother said!

"Ma'am, I am willing to sign!"
