When the first bird cry rang out in the morning, Soong Xintong sat up in a daze. She looked out of the window at the dark sky and couldn't help yawning sleepily.

She woodenly turned her head to look at her two younger brothers who were sleeping on the bed. The two of them were sleeping in a very unrestrained manner, and Little Treasure had even placed his foot on Big Treasure's cheek, giving him an uncomfortable smack on his calf.

However, neither of them had woken up yet. They were still sleeping soundly and snoring softly.

Soong Xintong couldn't help but smile as she sat back on the bed and grabbed Xiaobao's leg. She shifted the two heads against her head and fell asleep. It was early in the morning, and the morning air was cold. He placed a thin blanket over the two of them before lifting the blanket to reveal their faces. He then got off the bed, put on his shoes and headed for the door.

After washing up, Aunt Xie came over and helped to carry the full pair of baskets to the village entrance, where Senior Lee was already waiting.

Soong Xintong was the only person in the village who took an oxcart ride today, as the county town was quite far away. Unless someone had business with them, they would always visit the village once a month.

It was only the beginning of the morning when they arrived at the county town. There were only a few early morning people on the streets.

Since she had a lot of things, Senior Lee kindly sent her to the entrance of the restaurant, while she also gave him an extra three dollars for the car.

Because it was still early, the doors to Lucky's building were still closed.

Soong Xintong didn't move the basket that weighed sixty to seventy catties, instead, she walked straight to the tightly closed door and knocked on it. Zhu San opened the door after a short while and stuck his head out.

"Miss Soong, come in quickly." As Zhu San said this, he opened the door a little more. He called another assistant, ran out, ran to the basket and helped carry it into the lobby.

"Miss Soong hasn't had breakfast yet, has she? "We're in the middle of cooking noodles. How about a bowl for you?" Zhu San said very cleverly, "The shopkeeper is still settling the money with the vegetable farmers. Miss Soong, please wait for a moment."

"That's great. I'm hungry right now." Soong Xintong chuckled dryly. Since he had mentioned it, she wouldn't stand on ceremony with him.

Soon, Zhu San brought over a bowl of hot noodles with red oil broth. The fragrance of the noodles filled Soong Xintong's nose with a strong appetite. There was not much seasoning in the house these days, so all the dishes were light.

After finishing the noodles and waiting for half a cup of tea, Manager Soong came over.

Manager Soong cupped his hands towards Soong Xintong with a reddened face, "I'm really sorry for making Miss Soong wait."

"It doesn't matter, I have nothing to do with it." Soong Xintong took a sip of her tea and smiled.

"Then I'll have someone call Miss Soong now." Manager Soong signaled for Zhu San and the others to carry them to the rear hall. Then he sat down opposite to them at the square table, "Miss Soong, I wonder if we can carry the goods?"

Did this ancient person really like to eat the root of his ear which was full of the smell of blood? Soong Xintong couldn't help but be puzzled, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and pointed to the basket that had just been carried into the inner hall. "There's more than one hundred pounds here. Are you sure you want more, Manager?"

Manager Soong nodded, "To tell you the truth, Miss Soong said that our boss still has dozens of restaurants on Lingnan City that are better than this. After launching this Break Ear Root in other restaurants two days ago, everyone is very fond of it."

Soong Xintong finally understood that they were trying to make a profit while everyone was eating something fresh. She calculated in her heart, "So, you guys want more?"

"One thousand five hundred catties every two days." Manager Soong had already calculated with the owner last night, there were fifteen Lucky Restaurant s in the entire Lingnan City, and according to the amount of one hundred fifty kilograms per day in each restaurant, they could still be sold, and it was a conservative estimate. Thus, he added: "Of course the more the better."

Soong Xintong understood. "I can only try my best. After all, my manpower is limited."

"This is young lady's business." Manager Soong smiled, "As long as I can get the source of the goods, that's fine." It wasn't that they hadn't thought of a way to find it themselves, but after searching for quite a few places, they still couldn't find it.

What an old fox! Soong Xintong inwardly snorted with laughter. "One of them is that if you really want so much, I won't be able to send you any goods."

"I understand. I will send someone to pick up the goods every two days during the evening. How about that?" Manager Soong made this suggestion, "Lady, you just have to prepare the supplies."

There were a lot of broken ears in the mountain. Soong Xintong thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright."

"But now we'll have to put up another paper." Manager Soong said.

"Oh?" Soong Xintong looked at Manager Soong, who was stroking his beard, "Which one do you want to change?"

Manager Soong said with a smile, "Don't worry, miss. The price is still the same as before."

Soong Xintong was not happy at all. She was waiting for him to say 'but'.

"However, the quantity is up to us to decide. If we don't want it, then so be it. Miss Soong, don't have any objections." Manager Soong continued to speak with a smile.

Soong Xintong's face darkened. The documents from before had set a deadline for their cooperation. If that was the case, then if the restaurant said they didn't want it, then so be it. Who would they sell the goods she had piled up?

Manager Soong looked at her slightly changed expression, calmly took a sip of tea and then said: "Miss, if you think like this, we increased the quantity of the goods, and only filled up all the items that you had ordered for us in the past two months. So far, as long as our restaurant's business is doing well, we can sell our goods."

"Even if I say that, the risk to me is too great. I can't just say that I don't want it, right?" Soong Xintong was in a bit of a dilemma.

"Don't worry miss, our business is good and bad. It can't be seen in a day. There will always be a process of gradual decline. When that happens, we will inform the girl in advance. In short, the instrument has not changed anything but this, and it is more advantageous for the girl. " Manager Soong was laughing so hard that his eyes were almost gone.

Soong Xintong felt that something wasn't right, but she felt that it was impossible for business to get out of control in the next two days. Before that, she would sell it for 3000 jin. She didn't intend to do this business for a long time anyway.

"Alright, I agree."

"Then I'll rewrite the document."

This was what Soong Xintong was most concerned about. "When are we going to settle the bill?"

"I will settle the bill with the lady every time I pull out the goods. I will absolutely not owe the lady silver taels." Manager Soong wrote down two copies of the document and handed it to Soong Xintong. She took it and looked at it, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, she signed her name, "Then, thank you, Manager Soong."

"Then is it possible for you to come here tomorrow evening to pull the stud root out?"

In such a hurry? Soong Xintong couldn't help but glance at Manager Soong. Was he going to take a bath with the broken ears? However, when business came knocking, there was no reason to refuse. "Sure."

However, he had to go back quickly and ask for Grandma Qiu's help. It would take him at least a day to finish digging a thousand and five hundred pounds.

"Then let's go with this agreement. When the day ends tomorrow, we'll head to Peach Blossom Village to look for young miss." Manager Soong repeated himself.

"Alright." Soong Xintong agreed.

"The shopkeeper has already weighed it, a total of one hundred and thirty catties." Zhu San came out of the back hall to report after seeing that they had finished talking.

Manager Soong fiddled with his abacus and took out a piece of money. He counted out 90 coins and passed the rest of the money in a string to Soong Xintong, "A total of 910 coins. Miss, please keep them."

"Thank you very much." Soong Xintong happily put the money into her bag. Aside from Aunt Xieer's three hundred and twenty yuan, she still had five hundred and ninety yuan left.
