51 Chapter 51: Selling Chinese Toon Shoots
Upon hearing this, Boss Fang understood immediately.
“It looks like we, Fortune Mansion, have taken advantage of you by taking your Chinese yams for five copper coins a catty,” he said with a smile.
In other places, they sold Chinese yams as medicinal herbs, but in Fortune Mansion, they were sold as vegetables, so of course, the price was even lower.
“What are you saying, Uncle Fang? It’s not like we grew those things. They grow in the wild, and we do not need to spend much effort to harvest them from the mountains. Five copper coins per catty is already a sky-high price for us.”
Boss Fang was feeling increasingly more satisfied with Qin Xiaoyao’s attitude.
“Good! Then we’ll take all the remaining Chinese yams that you have on your hands.”
He looked at Qin Xiaoyao. “And, I’ll add one more copper coin to the price. But you have to promise that you will only sell your Chinese yams to Fortune Mansion in the future.”
Although Fortune Mansion had some reputation in Mountain Spring Town, the town was prosperous and had many restaurants. They had many competitors in reality.
The dishes made with Chinese yam and Chinese Toon shoots should be able to attract a lot of business for Fortune Mansion in the future if things went according to his expectation.
At that time, other restaurants would definitely inquire about the secrets of these two dishes.
The staff of Fortune Mansion were very tight-lipped. As long as there was no problem with Fortune Mansion’s supplier, the secret of the two dishes could be kept a mystery for a long time.
Qin Xiaoyao’s face lit up instantly.
“Thank you so much, Uncle Fang. Even if you don’t tell us, we won’t sell it to other places,” she immediately said sweetly.
Fortune Mansion was her livelihood. She would not do something that would ruin her own rice bowl for a small profit.
Besides, Uncle Zhao was so kind to her. How could she do anything to let him down?
Boss Fang was very pleased with Qin Xiaoyao’s answer.
“How are you going to sell the Chinese Toon shoots?” he then asked Qin Xiaoyao.
He was allowing Qin Xiaoyao to state her price.
The corners of Qin Xiaoyao’s lips curled up in a smile.
“Uncle Fang, you saw the stir-fried eggs with Chinese Toon shoots I made just now.”
Boss Fang nodded.
He looked at Qin Xiaoyao with interest.
“In that dish, I only used a little more than one tael of Chinese Toon shoots in reality.”
Manager Fang nodded again, thinking, “So?”
“Hehe! This thing tastes good and is also valuable. In other places, they are sold in taels.”
“One tael.. will be three to four copper coins.” Qin Xiaoyao said with a serious expression.
The other places she was talking about were naturally not in this era. It was the era before the apocalypse in her previous life.
Before the apocalypse, the price of Chinese Toon shoots was indeed three to four dollars per 50 grams.
According to her comparison, the purchasing power of a copper coin in this era was about the same as that of one dollar before the apocalypse.
Therefore, the price she stated was not considered expensive.
At this moment, Big Girl Li had already taken in a big gasp of air.
Three or four copper coins per tael? Wouldn’t that be thirty to forty copper coins per catty?
Good grief, it was more expensive than pork!
Boss Fang was still smiling.
“I’ll give you five copper coins, but the condition is the same as for the Chinese yam. You can only sell your Chinese Toon shoots to Fortune Mansion,” he said.
“In addition, for the delivery, we’ll go with your earlier proposal. Once every two days, as long as it’s within 15 catties each time!”
Big Girl Li’s eyes instantly widened, and she began to suspect that she was hallucinating.
“Uncle Fang, you’re indeed forthright! If there’s anything good in the future, we’ll definitely send them to Uncle Fang!” Qin Xiaoyao had already stood up and cupped her fists at Boss Fang in gratitude.
“Haha… you silly girl! Well-spoken!”
Boss Fang laughed.
Without further delay, he ordered the staff to weigh the goods the two girls had brought.
Thereafter, he left.
Once Boss Fang left, Uncle Zhao took charge of the situation.
Very quickly, the staff obtained the weights of the goods.
The Chinese yams weighed a total of 203 catties, the Chinese Toon shoots weighed 17 catties and 7 taels, and the vegetables from Big Girl Li were 62 catties.
Uncle Zhao got someone to bring an abacus and writing materials. After some calculations, he came up with the final amount.
“The Chinese yam is six copper coins per catty, and the Chinese Toon shoots is five copper coins per tael. As for the vegetables, they are one copper coin per catty.”
“That’s two taels of silver and 165 copper coins.”
After that, Uncle Zhao handed the list of calculations to Qin Xiaoyao.
“Take this. If you don’t know how to calculate, you can take it back and let your husband check it for you. If you find something wrong, you can bring it over for re-calculation next time.”
Qin Xiaoyao accepted it with a smile.
“That won’t be necessary, Uncle Zhao!”
“Then wait here for a while. I’ll go to the accountant’s room to get you the silver,” Uncle Zhao said.
“Okay. Thank you, Uncle Zhao!” Qin Xiaoyao quickly bowed and thanked him.
...
Uncle Zhao left with a smile.
Then, not long after that, Qin Xiaoyao felt someone tugging at her sleeve.
Not surprisingly, it was… Big Girl Li.
Qin Xiaoyao turned around and saw Big Girl Li’s dreamy look.
“Sister Sanya, I hope… I didn’t hear wrong. Just now, Uncle Zhao said that the goods we have today are worth… worth more than two taels of silver?”
Qin Xiaoyao rolled her eyes at Big Girl Li impatiently.
“Lower your voice. Stand straight up and don’t embarrass yourself!” she said in a low voice.
Big Girl Li’s skin tightened, and she quickly stood up straight.
At the same time, she looked around and found that no one was looking at her. She felt quite relieved.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaoyao’s expression relaxed a bit.
Then, she coughed and cleared her throat.
...
“What’s the big deal with two taels of silver? Our business has just started, and we’ll only earn more and more money in the future. You’ll get used to it when you see more of it in the future,” she said in a low voice.
Big Girl Li suddenly worshiped Qin Xiaoyao from the bottom of her heart.
“Yes! I’ll listen to Sister Sanya in the future!” she hurriedly said.
The corners of Qin Xiaoyao’s lips curled up in a smile, and she felt very important inwardly.
After a while, Uncle Zhao returned.
“This is the money for the goods. Please count it.” He placed the money on the stone table.
However, Qin Xiaoyao only took a glance at it before she put the money into her own money bag.
“No need. I trust Uncle Zhao.”
Uncle Zhao smiled.
“Alright. I still have something to do, so I’ll be leaving first.”
Qin Xiaoyao stood up and bowed to him.
She only straightened up after Uncle Zhao had walked far away.
She then called for Big Girl Li to pick up their stuff before leaving the premises.
After leaving Fortune Mansion’s kitchen, the two chubby girls walked down the street in very high spirits.
Qin Xiaoyao was still fine. As she had to act like a boss, she had to force herself to remain calm.
Big Girl Li was practically bouncing all the way.
“Ahem. Today’s accounting is a little complicated. I’ll split the money that belongs to you after we go back and do up the calculations. Any objections?” Qin Xiaoyao suddenly said.
“Haha! No objection! I have money on me! You can give me after we are back home!” Big Girl Li said quickly.
She even patted her bulging purse.
Chinese Toon shoots was five copper coins per tael. Their almost 18 catties of Chinese Toon shoots yielded close to 900 copper coins.
Sister Sanya said that she would get 40%. Hehe! This time she was really going to hit the jackpot!
The money she made from these Chinese Toon shoots was actually more than what she had made from digging up the Chinese yams yesterday!
And this was a business that could continue endlessly.
In the future, they would come to town once every two days, and each time, they would be able to send Chinese Toon shoots to sell!
How much money could she earn next?
Big Girl Li didn’t dare to think about it.
Qin Xiaoyao looked at Big Girl Li, who was dizzy with happiness, and felt a little disdainful. This girl had no foresight at all… (Of course, she was not really disdainful, but she simply felt superior in terms of intelligence.)
