When the manager heard this, he immediately laughed out loud. "Young lady is straightforward."
Soong Xintong smiled. She didn't bluff but said honestly, "Shopkeeper, this Bloody Cuisine tastes crisp and delicious. It has a unique flavor. Why don't you try it?"
"How are we going to eat this?" The manager asked.
"Yes, it can be stir-fried. The garlic that has been crushed will burst with fragrance, and a little salt and stir-fry will do." As there weren't any chilies here, Soong Xintong didn't suggest that the shopkeeper add chili to the dish. "You can also make soup and use blood and vegetables to fry the liver. This is an excellent combination."
"Pig liver and blood vegetables?" The manager was slightly surprised. Something like the liver of a pig was too ordinary, and the people who came to the restaurant didn't like this kind of thing. "You can cook meat, right?"
Soong Xintong shrugged. "That's up to you. As long as the restaurant can make it, of course it's fine." After a slight pause, he continued, "However, I still recommend the Bloody Vegetables and the Pork Liver. The two of them add up to a perfect combination of nourishing the blood and burning the fire."
"In that case, I'll have someone give it a try." The shopkeeper didn't say anything else and just let Zhu San take half a pound into the kitchen.
After Zhu San had left, the shopkeeper continued, "Lady, shall we continue to talk about the matter of the broken ears?"
Listening to the shopkeeper's tone, Soong Xintong understood that he probably wanted to make a long-term deal with her, or else things wouldn't be this formal. She straightened her patched up sleeves and sat up straight.
The person who was able to bring up such a temperament was definitely not a simple farmer. He restrained the surprise in his heart and said, "Miss, a few days ago you sent me the Ear Cutting Root. We've tried it and it has only had an average effect. However, adding one more dish isn't bad, so we still want to cooperate with you for a long period of time."
Soong Xintong narrowed her eyes. "Shopkeeper, continue."
"Although I think very highly of the lady, but in the business world, we still need to discuss in detail the issue of the goods to be supplied and the money to be paid." The shopkeeper said.
Soong Xintong lightly tapped the table. The ear broken root she sent over had almost no leaves and only a root. Therefore, it was still difficult to recognize the root. Otherwise, the shopkeeper would not talk to her about cooperation and would just look for a farmer to buy it.
As of right now, when those people found that Broken Ear Root could be found anywhere, it wouldn't be worth much. However, during the time these people found it, she should have already earned a large amount of money.
Soong Xintong thought about it for a moment, then said, "Manager is right. We should talk."
"The young lady is straightforward." The shopkeeper continued, "Our plan is to make the girl supply in the long run, but the selling price is different from the long run."
Soong Xintong also understood that he was trying to push the price down. After drinking a mouthful of cold tea, she said, "How much are you planning to give me?"
The shopkeeper extended three fingers. "Three pieces."
Soong Xintong laughed when she heard the price. "The way you're pushing the price down is really too much. You're pushing down the price by four coins. This deal is not worth it."
"Miss, don't forget that this is a long-term transaction." The manager said.
If it was any other secret technique, Soong Xintong would still consider going by herself. However, she was only able to earn a new price since her ears could be seen all over the place.
Seeing that she hesitated, the shopkeeper could not help but ask, "Miss, how is it? Long term business is better than this little fight. "
Soong Xintong smiled and pulled the basket towards her. "Manager, we all know that this dish is only for sale and will definitely be selling for a good price. After three to five months, other families will also be able to find this item."
The manager's expression turned serious. "Young lady, are you planning to sell it to someone else?"
"I don't have any thoughts at the moment, but there might be people from other families who want to sell this food." Soong Xintong knocked on the table, "Manager, let's not talk about long-term business. How about this summer? "Before the other families find out about this, I will definitely guarantee that your restaurant will earn a lot of money. How about it?"
How could the shopkeeper not know this logic? Others came to their restaurant to have a fresh meal, but now this plate of cold sauce could be sold for up to a hundred taels of gold. If they could sell it elsewhere, then selling it for twenty taels of gold would already be pretty good.
The logic was this, but he still wanted to push down the price. One jin was four taels of silver, and one thousand jin was four taels of silver. This was not a small sum.
"When I came over from the street in the morning, someone even mentioned that the Lucky Restaurant has a new dish. It was so popular that it sold for 120 pieces of gold? Many restaurants are asking around. " Soong Xintong softly clicked her tongue. "I guess she really is very popular."
The manager's expression changed.
"I don't need a high price, so I'll just use the original seven pieces of paper." Soong Xintong told the shopkeeper, "I have nothing to do with how much you earn in the restaurant. I can just earn some hard-earned money."
The shopkeeper thought for a moment and agreed. After all, besides Soong Xintong, no one else was able to pick the root of this problem, and this dish was some kind of secret recipe. If the other restaurants found it, then their sales would be affected, so it would be better to sell it on a large scale for a few months and earn a large sum of money.
"That's fine. We'll stick to seven pieces of paper." The shopkeeper paused, "However, this lady cannot sell a second one."
"Of course. Although I am a woman, I know my credit." Soong Xintong said.
The shopkeeper said, "That's good. Lady is straightforward."
"How much does the shopkeeper need?" Soong Xintong asked.
Just the restaurants in this county city could sell at least 150 plates a day, and there was still some control over the result. If you added the restaurants in Lin Prefecture City, then there would definitely be more than one.
However, he was not in a hurry. He first settled the problem of the supply of the restaurant before he asked, "You can send fifty catties a day?"
"No." Just as Soong Xintong finished her sentence, the shopkeeper's expression changed. "Miss, why not?"
"I can't enter the county city every day, why don't I send it here every other day? How about a hundred catties? " Soong Xintong asked.
The shopkeeper thought for a while. A hundred catties might not be enough. "Can't I give you more?"
Soong Xintong raised her own small wrist. "Although I am a peasant girl, I can only carry seventy to eighty catties at most. A hundred catties is already the highest I can carry, but no more than that."
The shopkeeper glanced at Soong Xintong's small body. "Then I'll have to trouble you. A hundred pounds is a hundred pounds, but the more the better."
"I see." Soong Xintong estimated the consumption rate of this Qingjiang County. It was already the peak of forty to fifty kilograms a day, unless there were other plans? However, this did not have much to do with her, "If possible, I will send more over."
"Manager, do you know how to keep it?" Soong Xintong asked again.
The shopkeeper said, "I know. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to feel at ease and ask you to send more over."
"That's good." Soong Xintong nodded. At this time, Zhu San brought out the dishes, "Shopkeeper, please cook one serving of the dishes according to the instructions of the lady and also a portion of the liver."
The manager tasted it and the taste was pretty good. "Since it's like this, then I won't bargain with you anymore. How about we call it seven pieces of paper?"
Soong Xintong nodded. "Alright."
"If that's the case, why don't we create a document and add this dish?"
"The amount of Bloody Vegetables are very little. I can only bring you a little bit." Soong Xintong said.
The manager nodded in disappointment. "Then that's it."
The shopkeeper picked up a pen and was about to start writing when he suddenly remembered that he did not know the name of this lady. "May I know her surname?"
"My surname is Song."
"He's surnamed Song. I didn't expect us to be of the main clan." The manager was extremely shocked.
Soong Xintong also felt it was a coincidence, "Maybe a few hundred years ago, we were really in the same family."
After signing the document, he weighed the Broken Ear Root he had brought back today. Including the Bloody Vegetables, there was a total of sixty catties, a total of four hundred and twenty gold coins.
