Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Su An raised her eyebrows proudly and confidently. Li Guihua looked helpless and could not resist her twisted logic, so she could only reluctantly let it go.

Zhou Li was almost mistaken for a bad guy, but he tried his best to restrain himself and maintain his manners so that he didn't squat on the street and eat.

Smacking the delicious taste of meat in his mouth, he hurried home in a daze.

Oh my god, I was so confused that I almost lost my way!

Return to the yard.

Very good! It was quiet and unnoticed!

He was impatient to find his room and pushed the door open with a creak, but the next moment, the sinister smile on his lips froze on his face.

"W-Prince?"

No, why is this guy in his room?!

"I'm back." Fu Zhun moved the book in his hand, glanced around, and lightly landed on the plate of food he was holding.

Then he leaned back in the recliner and took a deep breath.

Hmm, yes, exactly the same scent.

His eyes lingered on the colorful and delicious dishes, and he nodded seriously: "Bring it here, it's time to eat."

"!!!"

Your Majesty! Where is your shamelessness?!

Zhou Li felt so angry that he wanted to cry as he watched helplessly as most of the delicious food he had just begged for was cruelly taken away in an instant.

He had no choice but to turn his grief and anger into appetite, stuffing the remaining food into his mouth like a whirlwind, mumbling: "The old prince was still the best. Although his health was damaged, he was a very upright person. I miss him so much!"

Fu Zhun was slowly savoring the taste of the food, and upon hearing this, he could only smile and raise his eyelids.

Just when Zhou Li thought that the prince had a change of heart, with a "bang", the book in the prince's hand hit him on the forehead accurately.

"Long-winded!"

He suddenly felt a headache, pain in his flesh, and pain all over his body.

No matter what! The ten taels of silver for this meal must be taken back from the prince!

But the moment the food entered his mouth, it instantly soothed his wounded little heart.

Only then did he realize that there was such a delicious food in the world that could make the meat so tender, juicy, soft and chewy!

The pork liver is even more tender, paired with refreshing pickled cabbage, and then taking a big mouthful of pig intestine noodles with rich soup... Life is nothing more than this!

to afternoon.

Su An went to the kitchen and found that most of the usable ingredients were gone, so it was time to go and restock.

She roughly estimated that she had sold 3,000 buns in a hurry this morning. After today, when the news spreads, there should be even more customers tomorrow, including repeat customers.

Let’s be conservative and prepare 4,000 buns first!

However, she was unfamiliar with the place, so she decisively went to find Li Guihua, and the mother and daughter set off together.

Walking out of the shop, you will see wooden buildings arranged in an orderly manner on both sides of the street, with flying eaves and brackets, and signboards swaying in the wind, and noisy shouts coming from all directions.

Su An was so excited that he could hardly move his eyes.

This is her first time going out since traveling here. It’s so fresh!

The mother and daughter soon arrived at the largest East Market, but it was a county town after all, and at first glance there were only about twenty shops and some scattered small vendors.

There weren't many people around at this time, which made things much more convenient for Su An. His eyes were immediately drawn to the most conspicuous butcher shop in the middle of the main seats.

I looked at the pork hanging there. The quality of the meat was average, nothing spectacular but also nothing to fault.

"Oh! Isn't this Miss Guihua?" The butcher turned his head and suddenly said happily.

Li Guihua was stunned. Only through the strips of pork could she see the boss clearly: a middle-aged man with broad shoulders, a big waist, and a short and stocky figure.

"You are... Li Meng?" She also recognized him, with a pleasant smile on her face. Seeing Su An's confusion, she explained to her daughter, "This is your uncle Li Meng. He used to be from the same village as mother."

Su An nodded in understanding, and then smiled politely and gently at Li Meng. Now that they knew each other, maybe it would be easier to handle.

"Hahaha, sister Guihua, it's been ages since you got married!" Li Meng said with a quivering smile, his green eyes darting between the two of them. "Are you bringing your daughter here to buy meat?"

Although the mother and daughter were dressed simply, these days, only wealthy families could eat meat!

When did this girl Li become rich?

Li Guihua didn't notice anything and nodded with a smile. Su An then took the initiative to ask, "Uncle Li Meng, how much is your meat per pound?"

"Sixty coins."

It was the market price, and Su An couldn't help but smile even more obediently, "It's like this, my family will be ordering large quantities of pork and pig intestines for a long time in the future. I want 50 kilograms of pork today. Uncle, can you give me a wholesale price?"

When these words were spoken, Li Meng and Li Guihua were both shocked.

Li Meng was very happy at first, but after hearing what happened next, the smile on his face disappeared. He looked heartbroken and settled the score with her.

"Girl, you don't know, my pork is all from our own local pigs, slaughtered right away, and has a firm and chewy texture. It's definitely the freshest in the entire county! Usually, sixty cents is a loss!"

"Besides, if your family wants so much, I'll have to hire someone to run errands and move the meat!"

When Su An heard this, he gradually put away his smile, frowned, and asked, "What's your price?"

Li Meng opened his mouth and said, "How about this! Your mother and I are old acquaintances, and I won't make any money from you. Including the hiring fee, you can just give me seven taels of silver every day!"

Wow, he’s killing an old friend here!

Li Guihua's expression was also unhappy, and Su An's face turned cold and he retorted without any courtesy, "Since the meat in your uncle's house is so precious, we are still not lucky enough to enjoy it. Let your uncle store it for the New Year!"

"Mom, let's go!"

The butcher shop next door had already noticed Su An, a big customer, and immediately called out in a hoarse voice: "Hey, girl, don't go! Come and have a look at your auntie's place, I'll give you a discount!"

Seeing that she was a simple and honest woman, Su An couldn't help but calm down and stopped in front of her shop. "How much is it?"

"Girl, you are so straightforward, I won't scare you. Fifty-five coins per pound!"

Su An curled his lips and immediately bargained: "That's not much of a bargain! I'm doing a long-term deal, and I might need to increase the quantity in the future. The price is fifty cents! I don't want much pig intestines, so Auntie, just give me some pig offal every day!"

Calculated in this way, it is almost 20% off.

The aunt had seen how quick Su An was and how he would leave if he couldn't reach an agreement. So she gritted her teeth and said quickly, "Okay, okay, I agree!"

After all, she is a long-term customer, so she can make money by selling more products at a lower profit margin!

Su An was now smiling happily. Li Meng, who was standing beside him, had been stunned for a long time. After coming to his senses, he waved his hand angrily and said, "Girl, uncle will give you a discount too. We are acquaintances, so uncle will just take a little loss!"

"How can you be so rude!"

Su An sneered and ignored her. He left his address and two taels of silver as a deposit to his aunt, then took his mother to look at vegetables.

Li Meng's eyes widened, and he shouted in regret: "Sister Guihua, don't go! We are from the same hometown, and it is more reliable to do things with acquaintances!"

"Hey!"

But in a moment, the mother and daughter disappeared, and he was so angry that he pounded the chopping board and cursed.

No, who knew this damn girl was so hard to fool! He was so pissed off!
