The Chief Minister's Ferocious Wife

   Chapter 185 is a ruthless man

  Xie Heng nodded: "Yes, if the shopkeeper is interested, I don't know if I have time today to try it at Lengshui Village? The recipe in the hands of my wife will definitely interest the shopkeeper."

   The big shopkeeper looked at Shopkeeper Lin.

Shopkeeper Lin hurriedly said: "Master shopkeeper, I have never heard of brine, but the recipe for tofu, given to us by Mrs. Xie, is indeed very popular with the guests. The dishes you tasted yesterday were all from Mrs. Xie. the recipe given."

   The big shopkeeper thought.

   Those dishes are indeed very different.

   The shopkeeper asked Xie Heng, "How many recipes does Xianggong Xie plan to give us?"

   "Two dishes, the sale will continue next year, and two more recipes will be given away."

   "Can't you give it all at once?"

   Xie Heng smiled.

   The big shopkeeper felt that he had asked a stupid question.

   Xie Heng can be admitted to a scholar at a young age, so he is naturally not an ordinary person. How could he not consider such a thing?

   But the big shopkeeper is not a person who easily suffers from losses. After thinking about it, he said, "Well, today I will go to Lengshui Village with you to see what the brine is, and see if our deal is a good deal!"

  Niu Tongsheng couldn't get a word in from the beginning to the end, he just looked at them and said.

  I didn’t expect things to happen so quickly.

   In order to rush back to Lengshui Village earlier, the shopkeeper asked his men to drive the ox cart, while the three of Zhao Chuchu rode in his carriage.

   By the time they arrived at Lengshui Village, it was already afternoon.

   As soon as he entered the village, the shopkeeper immediately saw the water mill.

   "What is that?" The big shopkeeper pointed to the other side and asked.

   "We make yuba water mill."

   "I don't know if I can go take a look?"

   "Maybe not very convenient."

   Zhao Chuchu will definitely not let him go to see it.

   The shopkeeper is so smart, I'm afraid he knows how yuba is made at a glance.

   "It was me who was abrupt." The shopkeeper understood and didn't mention it again.

   He and Manager Lin went back to Xie's house.

   There is still brine on the stove, Xie Heng heated the brine before serving it out.

   The eyes of the big shopkeeper and the shopkeeper Lin have never left the brine he has cut in his plate since Xie Heng came in.

   When Xie Heng was heating the brine, the scent made the two of them unable to sit still, and they frequently looked to the stove.

  If Kelaixiang has this dish, are you worried that no guests will come?

  The big shopkeeper has made up his mind and wants that brine recipe.

  To be honest, yuba is a fresh ingredient, and brine is even more.

   Yuba has brought Kelaixiang back to life, and another brine is an extra trump card.

  After tasting the brine, the shopkeeper immediately understood why Xie Heng and Zhao Chuchu had such confidence.

   "With such a good dish, why don't you open your own restaurant, this dish alone will give you a foothold." The shopkeeper didn't understand, why didn't he make good use of such a good recipe?

  This is not a recipe, but a cornucopia that will generate money.

  Xie Heng said calmly: "I want to study, and my wife is also busy reading medical books to improve her medical skills. She doesn't have time to manage such a business. The shopkeeper should understand what the brine dish means."

"so what?"

   "We only open a brine store, so we can start buying and selling. The recipes for you are several other dishes. The two shopkeepers don't dislike it. Let's use dinner in the humble house. It's not too late to think about it after eating."

  The big shopkeeper doesn't care about anything else, he just wants to get brine.

   "What's your plan for brine?"

   "The brine recipe can be given to you, but I ask you to give us five hundred taels of silver every year. How does the shopkeeper feel?"

   "Five hundred taels? Xie Xianggong, are you kidding me?"

   "You Kelaixiang have semicolons everywhere. Some are doing well, while others are losing money. It's not a loss to buy brine for 500 taels every year!"

   "At most two hundred taels, it's hard to do business now, and only a little bit of income a year, wouldn't it give you more than half of it? Xie Xianggong, this is not a one-off deal."

  The big shopkeeper will cut half the price when he opens it.

   Zhao Chuchu: "..."

   is a ruthless man.

   "Then don't talk about it, the two shopkeepers will wait here first, and I will prepare the dishes for tonight."

   Xie Heng finished speaking, got up and walked out.

   The big shopkeeper saw that Xie Heng couldn't be frightened, so he could only call Xie Heng: "Xie Xianggong, wait."

   Xie Heng stopped and looked back.

   "Three hundred."

   The big shopkeeper raised three fingers.

   Xie Heng shook his head: "I didn't say much, and the money I asked for was very pertinent. Since the big shopkeeper is unwilling to pay the money, then let's quit."

   Big shopkeeper: "..."

   In fact, when Xie Heng said five hundred taels, the shopkeeper had already settled the account, and five hundred taels a year was not a loss.

   As Xie Heng said, Kelaixiang has semicolons in many places, and not every semicolon business is as good as the one here in Yuanjiang County.

   There are a lot of losses. If there is brine, maybe these points can be turned into profits.

   As a big shopkeeper, making money for the owner is what he considers.

   "Okay, five hundred taels per year, but the brine can only be sold by our guests. What if you also gave it to other restaurants?"

"Although I'm not a big man, at least the integrity of the business is still there." Xie Heng said, "If I really want to say this, can I also suspect that the big shopkeeper deliberately leaked the brine to other homes, and conversely said that I sold it. to someone else?"

   Big shopkeeper: "..."

   "To be on the safe side, let's set up a paperwork and write it clearly in black and white. It's better than empty words when there is really something going on."

   "Okay, just do as you say."

   The big shopkeeper knew that he could not take advantage of Xie Heng, so he could only give up.

   Don't when the brine becomes someone else's, then it's really a bamboo basket to draw water.

   Xie Heng asked Zhao Chuchu to buy chicken, duck and fish from the villagers and made four dishes.

The shopkeeper    has been working in Kelaixiang for almost ten years. He has traveled all over the world, what kind of dishes have he never seen before?

   But I have never seen the table at the Xie family's dinner table.

   Moreover, he rarely ate three bowls of rice, so he couldn't take it any longer.

   After eating and drinking, the shopkeeper looked at the soup and felt a little regretful that he really couldn't eat it, otherwise he felt that he could eat another bowl of rice with the soup.

   "I can't see that Xianggong Xie has such good cooking skills! If Xianggong Xie is not a scholar, I really want to dig you into our guest to be a chef." The shopkeeper was full of praise for Xie Heng's craftsmanship.

   Xie Heng chuckled: "Does the shopkeeper think this deal is a good deal?"

   "Naturally it's cost-effective, so just do as you say. But Xie Xianggong, there is a lot of yuba in demand for Kelaishi in our city. I wonder if you can deliver it in time?"

   "To be honest, our water mill has just started. For the taste of yuba, the speed will not be able to catch up for the time being. In a short period of time, I am afraid that there will be a big difference with the quantity requested by the big shopkeeper. The only thing that can be guaranteed is to try to do as much as possible."

  The big shopkeeper also knows that it is impossible to force others to be difficult.

   However, the harvest of this line is so great that he did not expect it.

   Xie Heng also generously gave him two recipes first, and wrote down the things to pay attention to to the shopkeeper. He was so attentive and thoughtful that the shopkeeper also admired Xie Heng.

   Scholars have always been lofty, but Xie Heng is a delicate and penetrating person.
