Chapter 80: Promise
"Yeah!" Xia Mo responded with a bright smile, nodded slightly, and turned around to walk towards Manager Hong.
Seeing that Xia Mo was willing to talk to him, Shopkeeper Hong also came out from behind the counter. With a sharp light flashing in his eyes, he said, "I wonder what it is that you want to sell me? Can you tell me in detail?"
Xia Mo chuckled when he heard this, "Of course, it's my honor." Then he raised his bright eyes and looked at Shopkeeper Hong, "Actually, what I want to sell is very simple. To put it bluntly, it is a kind of pure handmade candy. I call it maltose."
"It has two states. The one this young man just bought is in one state, which is in cube shape; the other is in a viscous liquid state." Xia Mo glanced meaningfully at the small paper bag in Li Jingran's hand while speaking.
Shopkeeper Hong raised his eyes slightly when he saw this. He had been doing business for so many years, what kind of people had he not seen? He did not expect that this man, though young, was so calm and composed. When facing him, he did not show any unnecessary timidity or nervousness, and even did not say a word that he did not want to reveal.
Shopkeeper Hong secretly sighed, but did not show it on his face. He even praised Xia Mo, saying, "So it's handmade sugar. My husband really has a good skill."
"No, no." Xia Mo smiled, paused for a moment and said, "My maltose can also help to generate heat, beautify the skin, nourish the stomach and relieve cough. If stored properly, it can last for a year."
After hearing what Xia Mo said, Shopkeeper Hong and the others were all shocked, especially those who had just seen malt sugar. They never expected that the ordinary sugar cubes could have such effects.
Shopkeeper Hong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he pursed his lips and stared at Xia Mo, "Are you serious?"
Xia Mo swore an oath and said "hmm", then added: "This is a secret recipe passed down from my mother's family. Shopkeeper Hong, you are knowledgeable and I believe you should know more about this than I do. After all, the world is so big, and my family should not be the only one that can make maltose. However, although there may be some differences in the formula, the effects should be similar."
Shopkeeper Hong was startled again by Xia Mo's words, and then a smile appeared on his face again. He was suddenly filled with emotion. He didn't expect that his little husband could see things so clearly.
What Xia Mo said was right. Shopkeeper Hong had indeed seen similar sugar in other counties. Seeing that it was selling well, he had thought about importing some. Unfortunately, the other party raised the price too high and it was a monopoly business, so Shopkeeper Hong had no choice but to give up.
And now, if the malt sugar made by this young man is really the sugar source he wants, Manager Hong feels that it is a good thing for him.
So he thought for a moment, then he lifted his eyelids and said to Xia Mo sincerely: "If your maltose is really the sugar source I want, the quality is good, and the price is reasonable, I think my shop can accept all of it... If it's possible, maybe I can keep it for a long time."
When Manager Hong said this, everyone's jaws dropped instantly. Even the usually indifferent cousin Li Jingran was amazed. This young husband who looked very much like Qiu Wu really opened their eyes.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu Yong, who were looking at Xia Mo in shock, didn't know how to describe their feelings at this moment. There was only one thought in their minds, which was - if the malt sugar met Manager Hong's requirements, then wouldn't Ze Ge'er have made a big deal?
Xia Mo nodded. He was still very confident in his maltose, so he suggested to Shopkeeper Hong: "In that case, I will bring a sample tomorrow for you to try. If you think it's okay, we can discuss the price, okay?"
"Not bad." Shopkeeper Hong also nodded with satisfaction.
So, amid the astonishment of others, the two of them happily agreed to it.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Xia Mo didn't want to stay any longer. After all, Qi and the others were still waiting for him, so he said, "In that case, we'll take our leave first. I'll come visit again tomorrow."
Shopkeeper Hong said "OK", and Xia Mo walked towards Liu Yong's family, and said to them with a smile, "Let's go, sister-in-law, Brother Dayong, Tiedan."
"Um...oh, okay." Qi responded, and then followed Xia Mo and the others out of the grocery store in a daze. Fortunately, Tiedan held her tightly so that she would not trip over the small threshold.
Li Jingran, who was standing behind them, got a look in his eyes when he saw this. He then asked for some dried fruit slices and walked away quickly. His cousin beside him hurriedly followed.
After they all left, the grocery store temporarily returned to silence.
A clerk who was close to Shopkeeper Hong saw that he was staring at the background going away, so he scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Shopkeeper, why are you staring at them?"
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Hong turned his head and glanced at him indifferently. Then he shook his head, turned back to the counter, and started clacking on the abacus.
Alas, I am still too young and have no foresight. Didn’t I see that the two gentlemen behind were going after the young man?
After Xia Mo and the others left the grocery store, Qi, who had recovered from her shock, excitedly grabbed Tiedan's hand and said, "Ze'er, you are so amazing! You convinced Shopkeeper Hong in no time!"
Liu Yong also nodded in agreement, "Yes." He felt that from this moment on, he should abandon his previous wrong views of Ze Ge'er.
"No way, it's not certain whether it will succeed or not. We have to wait and see tomorrow." Xia Mo shook his head and chuckled, but it was a good start after all.
Qi didn't quite agree with what he said, and nodded heavily, with a confident look on her face: "It will definitely work! Ze'er, the maltose you made is really delicious, we have all eaten it."
After saying that, she smiled embarrassedly again. She thought, if she were asked to eat those maltose now, she would really find it hard to swallow.
