Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Liu Caixia was still weighing the kimchi, packing it, collecting money, and selling it happily.

Old Mrs. Li brought a man in his forties to her side. Wasn’t he the big customer who just bought the last remaining pig intestines and five kilograms of pickles?

"Sir, do you have anything else to do?"

Old Mrs. Li whispered to Liu Caixia what the man had just told her, which was basically that she wanted to buy a recipe for braised pork and pickled vegetables.

Liu Caixia slapped her forehead heavily. How could she have forgotten? Didn't the first pot of gold that those female protagonists who traveled through time and space made by selling houses?

However, she is not so short of money now. This is a long-term transaction and it is impossible to sell the house directly.

After looking at the customers behind him, he said to Mrs. Li, "Auntie, we have run out of braised meat. Now we are only selling kimchi. Please watch this side for a while. I will talk to the boss in detail."

"Okay, go ahead. Just over there. Don't go too far."

Old Mrs. Li pointed to a corner on the right side of the store. She couldn’t hear clearly what was being said over there, but she could see what people were doing.

For Liu Caixia, a single woman, talking to a man alone is taboo.

Besides, this person is not familiar with the place, so if anything happens, he can call for help.

Liu Caixia didn't think too highly of it, like negotiating directly with the restaurant about investing in a stake or some other big deal.

What she wanted was to become a supplier and develop a wholesale source business in the future.

Moreover, they have their own shop which will also be used for food business, but they are not sure what they will sell at that time.

She cannot tell others the recipes she knows, as other people’s business is not something she, an outsider, can casually interfere with.

"You are the boss. I am so sorry for the disrespect. I just told that lady my idea in general. Does the boss have any problem with it?"

"Manager Sun, right? Thank you for liking our kimchi and braised meat, but this is just the first day of our store opening, and my family relies on this small store for a living. If you sell the recipe, how can our small store compare with your big restaurant!"

Shopkeeper Sun did not interrupt her when he heard her say this. He could tell that this boss was a successful and opinionated person, so he was very curious about what she would say next.

He nodded for her to continue.

"But we can supply our kimchi and braised meat to restaurants on a long-term basis. We can sign a long-term supply agreement. In Shanqing County, in addition to your restaurant, we can only sell our kimchi and braised meat to other restaurants. It is equivalent to your restaurant being the only sales outlet for our kimchi and braised meat. Others who want to buy from me can only sell them in other counties, not in Shanqing County."

In fact, Manager Sun also thought so. If the sales were good in Shanqing County, it was not impossible to continue cooperation in other counties. After all, their restaurant still had many branches in Dayuan.

"Okay, what's the boss's name?"

"My husband's family has been through the famine, and now I'm back to my parents' home to live with them. You can call me Aunt Liu."

"Okay, Mr. Liu, in addition to our exclusive sales in Shanqing County, I have one more condition. I want to sign a one-month agreement with you, which will end on the 20th of the first lunar month. You cannot sign agency agreements with others for other counties before the 20th of the first lunar month.

If our restaurant wants to sign an agency agreement with other counties in a month, you will have priority. Of course, we can renegotiate the terms at that time. If we can't reach an agreement, you can recruit agents from other counties. What do you think?"

"Manager Sun, if I can continue to cooperate with you for a long time, I will definitely be willing. I agree to this condition, and I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

"However, if you want to sell this braised meat to other counties, it may not be realistic for you to prepare the transportation here. What will happen to this recipe then? Will you sell it?"

Liu Caixia smiled and said nonchalantly: "Shopkeeper Sun, you will know when the time comes. I have already thought about this. It will definitely not affect our cooperation. When do you think the supply will start? If it starts from tomorrow, I will have to go back early in the afternoon to prepare!"

"Okay, give me a smaller quantity tomorrow. I'll try to see if it sells well and decide the quantity for the next day the day before."

"Braised meat needs to be prepared the day before, but kimchi is not that troublesome. I'll make a batch of Wagang and sell it out, then you can get it from me. But it's best not to keep this kimchi for more than three days. The taste will change after three days, and it won't be as crisp as at the beginning. And the taste should also be stronger and more sour."

"Okay, give me a jar of kimchi tomorrow. I don't know the varieties of braised meat you had before. When I came here, I only had pig intestines. If possible, I would like to try a little bit of everything."

"Okay, the varieties of braised meat are all on the list here. I'll give you five pounds of each. Is that okay with you?"

"Okay, five pounds is a little less, but we'll add it to the menu as a trial on the first day. If many people order it, we'll increase it later."

"I have a suggestion for you. When I deliver the goods tomorrow, you can do the same as us and cut each item into small pieces and give them to the customers to taste. I believe that there will be no problem in selling the braised meat I make. But it also depends on your pricing. I don't know how the restaurant's dishes are priced, but I can only give you the 10% discount on this list. Otherwise, I won't make any profit."

"Don't worry about that, Mr. Liu. I will sell them one plate at a time. The chefs have experience in plating and will set the price according to the cost."

"Manager Sun, I'm overthinking. Let's sign the contract soon, or we can schedule a time in the afternoon. It's better to finalize it early so I can go buy materials in the afternoon."

"Okay, let's sign the contract now. I have a seal with me, so I can make the decision on this amount."

"Okay, Shopkeeper Sun, please follow me over here."

Liu Caixia led the person into the shop through the gap on the right.

Ask Liu Xiaolu to come over and write the contract, her handwriting is so ugly.

Liu Xiaolu came running over and wrote two contracts. After both parties checked and confirmed they were correct, they put their fingerprints and stamped them, and it was done.

After Manager Sun left, Liu Caixia was extremely happy holding the contract and a deposit of one or two taels of silver.

Although I don’t make much money, it’s a long-term business after all.

With a stable income, the pressure on their family will be much less. By taking care of things here, she will have the time and energy to do more things.

It was almost noon. After selling the last portion of kimchi, Mrs. Li tidied up the things on her stall and walked over with a large cloth bag.

"Ma'am, we've sold all the kimchi we brought. This is today's earnings, so please put it away quickly. I'll collect the things over there and we can go home."

Liu Caixia took the bag and weighed it. It was quite heavy, probably because it contained a lot of copper coins. She handed the bag to Liu Xiaolu and said, "Put it away quickly. We are going home."
