Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 15
No.16 Chapter Mr. Xu
My uncle’s eldest cousin Tian Zhuang is 16 years old, he is not tall and thin, and his second cousin Tian Qing is 14 years old and his height is about the same as himself. When Liu Tao introduced Brother Jinyang to them, Liu Tao was very generous On the contrary, Tian Qing was a little shy about Jin Yang, his little brother-in-law.Liu Tao also brought a jar of wine today, and poured it out for everyone at this time, grandma and grandpa looked at a table of braised pork, braised fish, deep-fried prawns, scrambled eggs and steamed shrimp paste, and a small jar of willow The chili sauce made by Tao herself, and several kinds of crispy rice were put together on a plate, and they had the feeling of a rich family celebrating the new year in their hearts.

If the output of crispy rice is two ovens non-stop, it can produce [-] catties per day. Now that only one oven is open, even one oven has a tight manpower.The fresh crispy rice is sealed in medium-sized jars, and each jar is packed in [-] catties, with a daily output of [-] catties. I don't know where the gold shopkeeper sells it, anyway, as much as there is.Seeing that new products would require additional manpower and housing, they urged the craftsmen to step up and build houses in the backyard.

At noon that day, the black dragon was barking wildly at the gate. Almost everyone in the yard thought it was Liu Tao's grandma. Next to the luxuriously decorated carriage.

The young man was dressed in a fine attire, and two servants rushed up to him and said, "Is this Miss Liu Tao's? My master is here to visit Miss Liu and her family."

Huang Ying looked at the three of them a little puzzled, and it took a long time to remember that this was Mr. Xu who had met once in Yushanju. She hurriedly saluted them and then went into the yard to report.As soon as Liu Tao and Jin Yang heard that Mr. Xu was coming, they guessed his purpose.And Mr. Xu didn't hide it, he said directly to Liu Tao: "Ms. Liu Tao must know who I am. I came here today to get the distribution rights of your follow-up products, but I don't know if you said this." Is it up to your father-in-law to decide?"

"Master Xu, my family's business is a partnership between two companies, and Jin Yang and I have the final say on all products processed."

"Since you... the two of you have the final say, can I get the distribution rights of some products?" Mr. Xu was puzzled by the fact that their parents were not the ones in charge, and out of respect, he had to ask politely. .

"I'm sorry Mr. Xu, all my products are distributed by fixed merchants, unless they are new varieties that haven't been made yet?"

"Business should pay attention to reputation. I can't make things difficult for you this time. What I mean is that I am interested in the crispy rice you make. Let's see if you have developed any other new fancy food recently. If so, Can you let me sell it for you?"

Jin Yang said: "There must be new tricks, but the current manpower is not enough, and we can produce [-] catties every day."

"Why don't you add more people? The sales of crispy rice are so good, there is no reason not to expand mass production?"

Jin Yang said with some embarrassment: "The main reason is that no one can use it with confidence, and I am afraid that someone who finds it will leak the formula and production method of the crispy rice."

"Haha, I think it's a big deal. It turned out that I couldn't find a suitable person. Now, the most valuable thing is people. There are more than a dozen people in my family who are idlers, and there are a few elderly couples who can't work in the field. If you have time, you can go to my house to see if there is a suitable one and give it to you. If you are still not satisfied, you can go to the tooth shop. This year, we won the battle at the border and brought back many foreign border residents as slaves. Yes, do you have any favorites that you can buy and use?"

One word to remind the people in the dream that the manpower problem that has troubled them for a long time was reminded by Mr. Xu, because their inherent thought is 'everyone is equal', and in this era, the time is too short, and they have not thought of the level of buying and selling people. .

When my father and father-in-law were drinking tea with Mr. Xu, Liu Tao hurriedly prepared some shrimp-flavored crispy rice. These shrimp husks were ground for a second time by a stone mill, and the added portion was sufficient, with a strong aroma of river umami Tangy.

The shrimp-flavored crispy rice was served while it was still hot, and the unique fragrance was released immediately. Mr. Xu couldn't help but move his index finger: "Well, this fragrance is the taste of river fresh food, and it's not worse than the scallion and spicy flavors!"

Jin Yang said: "Mr. Xu, we only have these three flavors now, and the others haven't had time to develop yet. If we have enough people, new varieties will appear soon..."

"Give us the dealership right, I can buy it at a higher price than Treasurer Jin!"

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate. We once signed a distribution contract with the shopkeeper Yushanjujin, and the distribution rights of rice crackers cannot be transferred."

"I've read your contract. It clearly states that the onion and spicy crispy rice shall be distributed by his shopkeeper Jin, but it doesn't say that other types of crispy rice shall also belong to him (distribution). If you don't believe me, please take a look at the original contract. Do you know?"

The two didn't remember how the contract was written at the beginning. The reason why they shirked was because they were afraid that the old customer, the shopkeeper Jin, would be unhappy if he found out, because when the new variety came out, he would acquiesce that he was the first one they should consider.However, this Mr. Xu is too powerful in the business circle of Fucheng, and the two of them have to consider the consequences of offending others. It is best not to offend them in both aspects.

"Master Xu, you have made us feel a little bit embarrassed. We often deal with the treasurer Jin. If we don't get his permission, we will sign almost the same contract with others in private. Do you think there will be a good result? I mean You should go and talk to the shopkeeper Jin first, as long as we get his permission, we will agree, and the price will not be raised..." Liu Tao said with a smile and continued: "This one tastes like river fresh food. Shopkeeper Jin doesn’t know anything about the new variety. Since Mr. Xu has pointed out to us the major issue of solving the manpower problem, you should go and talk to Shopkeeper Jin tomorrow. As long as it’s before noon tomorrow, we will go to Yushanju !"

"Haha, Ms. Liu, you are really not easy. Okay, I will definitely wait for you at Yushanju before noon tomorrow. After I have settled with the shopkeeper Jin, I will let someone lead you to my house or the dental clinic." Picking people..."

Before noon the next day, Lao Huang drove the two of them to Yushanju on time in the carriage, just as Mr. Xu and Shopkeeper Jin had finished their quarrel.

Shopkeeper Jin saw them enter the door at the moment when he agreed to Mr. Xu's suggestion.Immediately understood that this play was a double reed performed by the two of them, and secretly praised Liu Tao and the others for their intelligence, "The girl is only 11 years old, and the boy is only 13 years old. While passing it on to others, I found another backer in the future. With this hand, my future future is limitless! '

Eldest Mr. Xu was unforgiving, and after getting the distribution rights of Hexian crispy rice, considering that Liu Tao and the others would have similar foods in the oven in the future, he dragged the shopkeeper Jin to continue the negotiation.

Shopkeeper Jin lost the opportunity today. After being calculated by others, he felt unhappy. How could he agree to Mr. Xu's proposal? It belongs to me, and the next new breed can belong to you!"

I thought Eldest Master Xu would argue with reason, but he cheerfully agreed, and proposed that in the future it will be deduced like this.Shopkeeper Jin felt cheated again, but he couldn't go back on his word.On the other hand, Liu Tao and Jin Yang held back their laughter and almost suffered internal injuries.Mr. Xu had heard about the upcoming sale of crayfish from the two of them that day, but his family does not operate catering, and he would not take crayfish if they were given to him. Today, he just gave the crayfish to Treasurer Jin. There is no need to argue about the product.

Mr. Xu's banquet has been applauded for a long time. At this time, everyone is invited to the banquet, and Lao Huang is also present at the same time. It is considered by two people; It can be dealt with, it is best to have this veteran act as a deterrent.Lao Huang used to be a low-level officer in the army. He treated businessmen like Mr. Xu neither humble nor overbearing, but he treated Liu Tao and Jin Yang very differently. He gave people a feeling of loyal servants. , he will protect the two of them comprehensively even if he doesn't want his life.
