A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Zhang Yunyue: "Okay, Manager Dong, I will come on time at noon tomorrow."

Noon the next day.

Zhang Yunyue and his father went to Tianxiang Tower to keep the appointment.

When the two just arrived at Tianxiang Tower, Xiao Zhao was standing at the door of Tianxiang Tower looking out and saw Zhang Yunyue and Zhang's father walking towards him from afar.

Xiao Zhao walked forward and smiled faintly: "Miss Zhang, Uncle Zhang, you are here, please come in, our shopkeeper is waiting for you upstairs, I will take you upstairs."

Father Zhang: "Hey, thank you, Xiao Zhao."

During this period, because of delivering goods to Tianxianglou every day, Zhang's father, Zhang Cheng and Xiao Zhao all became more familiar with each other.

Xiao Zhao led the father and daughter to the No. 1 room on the second floor of Tianxiang Tower, knocked on the door of the room, and said.

"Shopkeeper, Miss Zhang and Uncle Zhang are here."

"Please come in." The voice of Shopkeeper Dong came from the box.

When Xiao Zhao heard Manager Dong calling him in, he pushed open the door of the box and invited Zhang Yunyue and Zhang's father in.

Shopkeeper Dong: "Xiao Zhao, go get a pot of water and some snacks."

Xiao Zhao: "Okay, wait a moment, shopkeeper."

Entering the box, what caught my eye was that Shopkeeper Dong and Shopkeeper Cao were standing on either side of the table. In front of the window stood a man wearing a silver-white embroidered long robe with flying shoulders and a waist. He was standing with his hands behind his back and his back to them. Next to him stood another man wearing a black brocade robe with a sword on his waist. He had a serious face and no expression.

The man standing in front of the window heard the footsteps coming in, turned around and looked at the father and daughter entering the room. Originally, he didn't need to come to discuss the contract this time, he just needed to arrange for a manager to come.

But somehow, he had already given instructions to the steward and told him not to come, and he came to talk in person, which surprised the steward standing by.

Zhang Yunyue looked at the man in front of her. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Although he was not very old, he exuded the aura of a superior.

This man must be the owner of Tianxiang Tower, Zhang Yunyue thought to herself.

Xiao Zhao knocked on the door, and a voice came from outside: "Boss, bring the tea and snacks."

Shopkeeper Dong: "Come in!"

Xiao Zhao pushed the door open, put down the tea and snacks in his hands, then went out and closed the door.

"Miss Zhang, this is the owner of our Tianxiang Tower. His last name is Xiao Qi." Shopkeeper Dong introduced.

Zhang Yunyue and Zhang's father greeted Xiao Qi. "Mr. Xiao, I have heard a lot about you."

"Boss, these two are the two owners of the mung bean jelly and chili oil mentioned in the letter from Shopkeeper Cao." Shopkeeper Dong introduced

Xiao Qi walked to the table and said with a smile:

"Miss Zhang, Uncle Zhang, there's no need to be polite. Please take a seat."

After Zhang Yunyue and Zhang's father sat down, Xiao Qi looked at Zhang Yunyue.

"Ms. Zhang, I'm aware of the cooperation mentioned in your letter. I can make the decision on the cooperation on mung bean jelly. From now on, all branches of Tianxianglou can sell your mung bean jelly. You split the profit 30% and I split 70%. Just as you said."

"As for the chili oil, I also want to cooperate with Miss Zhang. Just do as Miss Zhang said. You can provide chili oil for our Tianxianglou. Of course, the price will definitely satisfy Miss Zhang. After all, I believe we will have more cooperation in the future."

Zhang Yunyue: "Indeed, there is only one flavor of chili oil at present, but we will continue to try multiple flavors in the future. If the cooperation goes smoothly in the future, Tianxianglou will be given priority in the multiple flavors we try in the future. At present, our retail price of this flavor is 60 wen per catty. Since we are preparing for long-term cooperation, we can sell it at 50 wen per catty."

Xiao Qi looked at Zhang Yunyue and said, "Okay, let's do it as you said, 50 wen per catty. We will provide 5 catties every 1500 days. We will arrange for someone to pick up the goods directly at your door. If the amount is increased in the future, we will inform you in advance. And if there are new flavors or food in the future, I hope you can give priority to Tianxianglou. Price is not a problem."

Xiao Qi believed that through this brief exchange, the girl in front of him would definitely have more surprises in the future, so making an appointment in advance would also help him seize the initiative.

Zhang Yunyue: "Okay, in addition, the contract must state that if we are unable to deliver on time due to natural disasters or man-made disasters, the delivery party does not need to bear any responsibility. If we fail to deliver on time without reason, we will compensate you 1000 taels. On the contrary, if you do not accept the goods without reason and want to terminate the contract, you must notify us five days in advance, otherwise you will also have to pay the other party 1000 taels. If you accidentally leak the formula, you will also have to pay the other party 1000 taels."

"By the way, I currently only sell mung bean jelly in Sanhe Town, Xinghua Town, and Sifang Town under the jurisdiction of Chengyang County. After the contract is signed, there will be no more mung bean jelly business from me except for these three places."

Xiao Qi nodded, looking at the girl in front of him who was only about ten years old. He didn't expect that she could think of so many things, talk about business so fluently, and ensure protection for herself because of the contract.

"Agreed. The green bean jelly bill will be settled once a month, and the chili oil will be settled on a per-use basis. Someone will deliver the account books when the time comes."

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he looked at the shopkeeper Dong who was standing beside him. When Shopkeeper Dong saw the boss looking at him, he instantly understood what the boss meant.

Shopkeeper Dong stood at the door of the box and called a waiter to bring up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. After the waiter brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Shopkeeper Dong re-entered the box.

Shopkeeper Dong placed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table and spread them out. He wrote down the content of the conversation between Zhang Yunyue and Xiao Qi, as well as the additional constraints imposed on both parties.

Shopkeeper Dong blew on the contract he had just written and gave it to Xiao Qi to read first. After Xiao Qi looked at it and found no problem, he gave the contract to Zhang Yunyue.

Zhang Yunyue took the contract written by Manager Dong, made sure there were no loopholes in the text, and showed it to Zhang's father. After finding no problems, he returned it to Manager Dong.

"Manager Dong, no problem. Please make two more copies of the contract."

Shopkeeper Dong took the contract handed over by Zhang Yunyue, then copied two copies on the table and gave them to Xiao Qi and Zhang Yunyue to check and make sure there were no problems.

After Xiao Qi and Zhang Yunyue signed their names on the three contracts respectively, Xiao Qi and Zhang Yunyue kept one, and the other one was taken to the county government office by Manager Cao for filing to ensure official protection.

Zhang Yunyue put the contract into his sleeve, then took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the table and wrote down the recipe of mung bean jelly on it.

After making sure the recipe for mung bean jelly was clearly written, Zhang Yunyue handed the paper to the other party.

"You can try it here first. When it's done, Shopkeeper Dong can try it himself to see if it's successful. If there's no problem, the formula can be sent to each branch for use."

"By the way, let me tell you that the hot selling period of mung bean jelly is in summer and autumn. Not many people eat it in winter and spring."

Except for Zhang's father, the others nodded to show that they understood.

Zhang Yunyue put down the pen in her hand, and then looked at everyone with a smile: "Then happy cooperation in the future!"
