After the workshop opened, it would only be particularly busy when Tianxianglou came to pick up the goods. On weekdays, five women cooking and five people making fire could supply the ten "salesmen" in the village. But within three days, some of them would come back at noon to settle the first wave of bills, and then discuss with Uncle Wei to pick up two more barrels of goods.

Ru Yue seemed to have known this for a long time. She had made arrangements in advance and always had twenty cylinders of stock in the warehouse. It was difficult to store in hot weather, so she asked A Lingduo for a lot of saltpeter in advance to make ice and put it in the warehouse. This made everyone feel a lot more at ease.

The workshop was gradually getting on track. Although the sales volume was still far from Ru Yue's expectations, a careful calculation showed that nearly a thousand jars were sold each month. She had already calculated that the net profit of a jar of sauce in the early stage was only 500 coins, but even so, she still had an income of 500 taels a month. However, her jars were customized in batches and could be reused, so this cost would be negligible in the later stage, so she could make at least 30 more coins for a jar of sauce.

She originally expected that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, some customers would come to her along the "business" line, but she never expected that early in the morning on the fifth day of the New Year, just as Ru Yue had sent An Ping and Chu Ning An away, someone knocked on the door of Meng's house.

Two decently dressed people brought some things and said they wanted to meet the owner of "Ming Yue Dian" to discuss cooperation with her.

Uncle Qi knew that Ru Yue was also concerned about the business of the workshop, so he would not turn away business when it came to him. He hurried to report to Ru Yue and Uncle Wei.

Ru Yue never liked mixing public and private matters, so she asked Uncle Wei to take the person to the meeting room in the workshop first, and she and Ruyi packed up briefly and followed.

"Manager Wei, I'm Chen Xingfa from Yunlai Town. I own a grocery store here. I tried your chili sauce a couple of days ago, and honestly, it's absolutely amazing. I'm thinking of buying from you and selling it in my store. Is that okay with you?"

Ru Yue came in and just heard Boss Chen talking. She looked at the man carefully. He was dressed simply and neatly, with a slightly plump body and a professional smile on his face. I think it must be a habit developed from doing business for a long time, but it doesn't make people feel disgusted. She had some thoughts in her mind.

"How did Boss Chen know about our hot sauce? And how did he come to us?" Ru Yue walked in with a smile and sat directly in the main seat.

Uncle Wei hurriedly stood up and introduced him, "Boss Chen, this is our host. You can just call her Miss Meng."

Boss Chen was indeed quite astute. Although he saw Ru Yue as just a little girl, he did not underestimate her. He stood up, clasped his fists, and said, "Hello, Mr. Meng. I am Chen Xingfa from Chen's Grocery Store in Yunlai Town. You can just call me Old Chen."

"Mr. Chen, please take a seat. You're welcome. Have some tea." Ru Yue has her own understanding of business partners. Being smart is a good thing, but one must never have crooked thoughts.

"Two days ago, my wife bought your hot sauce on the street. I just took a bite and to tell you the truth, it tasted amazing. I ate an extra bowl of rice than usual. Then I ate it for two days in a row. I felt that this sauce would definitely bring me big business, so I asked my wife to inquire about it. Only then did I know that the sauce came from the 'Ming Yue Dian' in Mengjia Village. So I prepared something and came here to buy it." He smiled naively as he spoke.

"Boss Chen, do you know the name of the man who sold you the sauce?" Ru Yue asked casually.

"My wife actually found out everything. The man's name is Meng Tiezhu. He said he's selling goods specifically for your workshop."

Ru Yue smiled after hearing this and secretly winked at Uncle Wei.

"How does Boss Chen want to get the goods?"

"Young Master, I'm thinking of getting three cylinders every five days at first. That would put me at about twenty cylinders this month. If sales are good, I'll get more. Is that okay with you?"

"Boss Chen, normally I'd sell to anyone, but since I see you're a true businessman, I'll just say a few words. It's fine for you to take the goods this way, but there's a problem. If someone from your town comes to discuss cooperation with me again, do you think I should agree or not?"

"This this......"

It was obvious that Boss Chen had never thought about this question at all, so he didn't know how to answer. If he agreed, Yunlai Town was so small that if someone else came to compete, it would be disadvantageous to him. But what Ru Yue said was right, anyone could be sold for money, so how could he answer?

Ru Yue smiled at him without saying a word. Some things one has to figure out on one's own.
