Fertile land

Chapter 38

Shopkeeper Zhu had already agreed, so he still asked.

"Now that you've analyzed the pros and cons, why did you sell it?"

Luo Zhi'er glanced at Li Changshun, who looked at her with a pale and cold expression. She said lightly,

"Chef Li didn't say what he said. At present, my wife's family is starving and she is worried about making ends meet to support her family. 2000 taels can solve my urgent need. I can't let my daughter go hungry with me..."

"Otherwise, I would never come here to sell the recipe I developed exclusively. It is my hard work for many years. After all, my idea and dream is to open my own restaurant!"

She spoke openly about her plans and current predicament...

"Okay, let me think about this."

The person outside the door then moved forward and entered the room inside. Before leaving, he specifically asked the waiter to give a message to Shopkeeper Zhu.

"Let Shopkeeper Zhu come to me after finishing."

"Yes, sir."

Even though the restaurant is busy, people occasionally come to order fried rice and so on. The restaurant’s back cook temporarily leaves the vegetable chopping apprentice to do the cooking...

Chef Li and Chef Xie said hello to Shopkeeper Zhu and went downstairs to get down to business...

Then Shopkeeper Zhu was called away...

Luo Zhi'er was sitting alone in the room, thinking silently. Hearing this tone, he guessed that shopkeeper Zhu was a bit unable to make the decision. 1000 taels was quite a lot and he needed to report it to the boss behind the scenes...

Good things come in a long way, so she should wait a little longer. He won't buy the good things without worrying about them.

About twenty minutes later, shopkeeper Zhu came with pen and paper and a contract template, "Ms. Luo, I've kept you waiting for a long time."

"No problem."

"That's right, we at Yumanlou have decided to buy this recipe of yours. This is a contract to purchase Fructus Fructus fungus oil. This is a contract for the recipe. Take a look..."

"If you think there is no problem, let's talk about the price of the Fiber Fungus Oil. This is paper and pen, so sign it, and then write down the recipe, and of course the marketing strategy you mentioned."

The master mentioned this specifically, he couldn't take it seriously...

"it is good."

Shopkeeper Zhu said again: "Ms. Luo, do you want to call your man in?"

"No need."

Luo Zhi'er first picked up the Firth Fungus Oil and lowered his head to look at it.

Shopkeeper Zhu was stunned. He called her a man because he was afraid that she would be illiterate. She... was illiterate?
Luo Zhi'er looked at it carefully and understood clearly that this contract should be modified according to the common template signed with the other party before.

Luo Zhi'er pointed to what was written on the contract and said: "Shopkeeper Zhu will deliver goods twice a week, pay a deposit in advance, and I have no objection to the amount of silver per jar, but can I add one more request?"

"Oh?"

He thought she was illiterate. How many rural women could be literate? He didn't expect that there were so many...

"Ms. Luo, please speak..."

"As you know, food quality and safety in the food business must be given top priority and must be guaranteed."

"There must be a lot of manpower involved in the process of getting an ingredient from raw materials to the table. Eating it to your stomach is delicious, but sometimes it's also poison."

"What I mean is that I will prepare the products here and send them over. You must have specialized personnel to check the safety of the food. If you think there is no problem, you can only inspect it and put it into the warehouse. There must also be a dedicated person to manage the food when it is put into the warehouse..."

Shopkeeper Zhu didn't expect her to be so meticulous and thoughtful, as if she had business experience, so he had to convince others and nodded, "No problem!"

"As for the price, I wonder, Shopkeeper Zhu, how much silver do you think this Fructus Fructus fungus oil is worth per jar? I weigh ten kilograms of peeled oil on this jar."

"In this way, a jar of [-] articles will be delivered twice a week. The number of jars will increase or decrease according to demand. It cannot be less than one jar per week. Order for three months first. If the follow-up is stable, we will continue like this. If the sales situation is good, we need it. We’ll discuss adding more goods, what do you think?”

Luo Zhi'er thought about it. In addition to the labor costs for picking and making, there are also raw material costs for lard, seasonings, etc...

Of course, her income has doubled several times...

"Shopkeeper Zhu, I have a question. This gallinopsis oil is currently only available in summer and autumn, and it has requirements on the storage environment and edible time..."

"In summer and autumn, I can certainly guarantee delivery, but in other seasons there will be no goods for the time being."

"Only summer and autumn?"

Shopkeeper Zhu was caught off guard...

"You know, the ingredients I have are picked in the mountains and fields, and the gallinobacteria are only available in summer and autumn..." "But... you don't have to worry, I can make other rice and rice dishes when they are out of stock. A product similar to fir fungus oil for noodles.”

“That tastes good too, we’ll discuss it then!”

"it is good!"

Then comes the contract between Da Tou and Cai Fangzi...

Luo Zhi'er looked at it quietly for a long time.

"Shopkeeper Zhu, let's buy it out at one price this time. Naturally, I will keep silent about the recipes sold..."

"Even if I start this business in the future, these dishes will never appear in my restaurant. These dishes are from Yumanlou's recipes..."

"what?"

Shopkeeper Zhu's eyes showed surprise. This matter was of benefit to his restaurant. His contract stated that she could not sell her recipes again. There was no restriction that she could not use them herself...

After all, these things are what people use to support their families and make a living...

Luo Zhi'er's operation made people feel more sincere and reassuring, and he was aboveboard. If he said he didn't want it, he wouldn't...

Doesn't she regret it?
If these dishes become famous all over the world in the future, it is because they were made by her, and it is also a publicity for her reputation...

"But... I also have a request for your restaurant. I hope it can be kept secret. It was me, Luo Zhi'er, who sold the recipe to the restaurant. No matter who comes to inquire, it must be kept secret, including my family, relatives, and even my partner." Sample?"

"no problem!"

"Well, after signing the contract, I will help you to thoroughly understand these recipes. If nothing happens, I will deliver the goods in the future..."

"You guys should follow the recipe I gave you and cook more. You should be able to learn it. If you have any questions, I can help you when I come to deliver the goods."

If she comes to the house to look for her, she won't want them, which will arouse people's suspicion...

"Anyway, I will cooperate to help you learn the recipe thoroughly."

"it is good!"

...

After checking item by item, both contracts had to be revised. Luo Zhi'er picked up a pen and paper and lay on the table writing furiously...

The contract was rewritten, with four pieces of paper in total, two of the same.

This brush is not as good as modern pens for writing, but she was able to write small seals with her own hand, which surprised herself.

After she finished writing, she showed it to Shopkeeper Zhu. Shopkeeper Zhu picked it up and took a look at it. His eyes widened: "I didn't expect that Mrs. Luo's handwriting is so beautiful. Zhu is really blind..."

It's not that he has poor eyesight, but the font is in sharp contrast to her. If I didn't tell others, I would have thought it was written by the woman with a rich boudoir!

When she was serious, she felt very peaceful. He even suspected that there was a very beautiful woman living in her soul...

"If so..."

Shopkeeper Zhu asked her to wait and turned to the next room.

She concentrated on writing the recipe, one dish after another in order, and carefully marked the raw materials, condiments, heat, stir-frying, and cooking time of each dish.

Requirements for the storage environment and edible time of Fructus Fructus oil...

When she had almost finished writing, Shopkeeper Zhu came back. He had already stamped his seal and pressed his fingerprints...

She also decisively signed her name and pressed her fingerprints...

Shopkeeper Zhu went to the accounting room to withdraw money and asked her how to make drinks...

Marketing strategy:

First send out flyers to promote...

If you apply for a membership card, you will get discounts on dining at his home.

Get coupons when you spend a certain amount of money, which can be deducted next time. After the reorganization, in the first month, you can get discounts when you come to the restaurant to eat...

Snacks are provided, such as small golden beans, small rice dumplings, and small pastries. There is a service area dedicated to letting little dolls play and being watched by dedicated personnel...

When she came out, the sun was turning to the west...

Li Sanmao had already been waiting anxiously, pacing back and forth in another room...
