MTL - Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper-Chapter 21 sauce business

The price was too cheap. It was the first time Steward Wang bought such cheap food, and he was very surprised. He reported to the old man of the Cao family.

Mr. Cao laughed loudly: "He is an interesting person."

"Old man, why do you say that?" Isn't it a countryman, what's so interesting? It is worthy of the old man's praise.

"Originally, he could raise the price of raw materials and sell them to my Cao family, but he didn't. He sold as much as the price. Not only does this person not value money, but he is also an honest person in business."

"If Wei Cheng doesn't raise the price, he should want to curry favor with our Cao Mansion." He has inquired about Wei Cheng's family background, and the house he lives in is still a mud-tiled house. If he doesn't take the opportunity to make more money, there must be another thumbnail, but it doesn't look like it , he couldn't understand Wei Cheng a little bit.

"Wang Steward, you have been shrewd all your life, but you have forgotten one thing. Whether you are a person or a business, you should have a set of principles in your life. That person named Wei Cheng, if he is not far-sighted, Those who have far-sightedness are those who have no ambitions, are honest and honest, and are rural people."

"From the price point of view, the cost of this raw material should be very low, but I don't know what it is made of."

"If the old man wants to know, the old slave will order his servants to investigate."

Mr. Cao shook his head and waved his hands: "No need, my Cao family doesn't like this little thing. If the family likes to eat, they can just buy it as usual." The housekeeper of his house is an old man in the house. People are flattering and flattering, and they stand on high ground for a long time, and they have a hard-to-change temper of looking down on others, but people are not bad.

Steward Wang asked humbly: "According to what you said, old man, does this old slave want to make friends with Wei Cheng?"

"For the time being, there is no need to communicate too much. With Wei Cheng's current status, the difference between him and Cao's mansion is nothing. If we see each other, we can treat each other with common courtesy."

"yes."

After Steward Wang left, Mr. Cao sat alone in the study.

The Cao family has a great career, and there are no decent heirs. The son is not counted on, and the grandson has yet to be tempered.

Weicheng's stalls are still very popular. With the help of Wei Lei, the stalls can make more sauces and knead dough. If he alone, the daily sales will not increase, and there is still a limit to what one person can make. Now with the help of Wei Lei, the number of food stalls can be increased appropriately.

He also had extra energy to find a stall.

Wei Lei worked at the stall in Weicheng for a few days. He knew how good Weicheng's business was, and he could estimate how much it sold. As for the profit, he couldn't guess it, but it was definitely considerable.

The pancake stall in Weicheng, in just a few days, has sold its reputation in the wharf circle.

The business district in the wharf is very large, with restaurants, commercial shops, and gathering places for eating and snacks.

Weicheng is a gathering place for food and snacks, and most of the ordinary people come and go. Rich businessmen with status and wealth all come and go on the high-end street of restaurants and restaurants.

Wei Cheng's stall has many wealthy merchants who come to buy pancakes, a few of them will find it by themselves, and some will run errands to buy it.

Some businessmen ate the pie and saw business opportunities from it.

The merchants who took the boat also saw business opportunities.

They also fell in love with Wei Cheng's sauce and wanted to buy it.

The person who brought the ship merchant here was an acquaintance Lu Dashan. This ship merchant was in business, but he was also the owner of the ship.

Lu Dashan asked if Wei Cheng, who was making pancakes, was free. His boss wanted to buy sauces and needed to discuss with Wei Cheng alone.

Wei Cheng glanced at the nobleman brought by Lu Dashan, and politely said to Lu Dashan: "Sorry, I'm busy, I have free time after I sell the pancakes, and I can't do it now."

Lu Dashan is also generous and honest, and he acts as a microphone for telling the truth.

The ship steward who accompanied the owner glared at Lu Dashan with hatred for iron. Won't.

Lu Dashan is also a person who knows how to read his face. The look of the supervisor let him know what he did wrong. He didn't know what he did wrong in his heart.

Ship owner: "Steward, you go."

The ship steward took the order to invite Wei Cheng, and the ship steward began to ask politely. After Wei Cheng refused, the ship steward was immediately displeased, and took Joe as his identity.

"Don't be ignorant. My boss sincerely invited you, but you refused again and again. You offended my boss, don't you want to set up a stall here?"

Wei Cheng: "..."

Did he say no? He said he would go as soon as the pancakes were sold. Could it be that he couldn't understand what he said.

Making friends with one more businessman is also a network.

Wei Cheng didn't want to offend anyone, but he really couldn't leave. He was the only one who could make pancakes. Who would make pancakes after he left.

Wei Lei?

Wei Cheng didn't keep Wei Lei from teaching him. He taught him, but Wei Lei couldn't learn it. He was in a hurry when he made the pancake. He either burned the pancake or smeared it with miso sauce. None of them could eat it. .

Wei Cheng had no choice but to apologize to the guest, and directly passed the ship steward who thought Wei Cheng had compromised and smiled smugly.

"Hello, Mr. Wei, here to say sorry. I am the only one who can make pancakes at my stall, and the customers are waiting in a long line. Although Wei's stall is only a small business, it cannot I lost my integrity in front of the guests, left the guests alone and left without permission, please forgive me.”

The ship's owner looked at the man in front of him who spoke neither humble nor overbearing, even his coarse clothes couldn't hide his demeanor.

The owner of the ship has seen many people in his travels, and in his opinion, given time, this person will definitely achieve something.

The boat owner said, "It's Gu's subordinate who was rude. Boss Wei, we can talk after you finish your work. Gu won't bother you."

"Please!"

Wei Cheng went back to the stall and continued to work.

After closing the stall, it was not the ship steward who came to invite people unexpectedly, but Lu Dashan.

Wei Cheng asked Wei Lei to push the cart back, and asked him to go back and tell Zhou Yuan that he would not go back for lunch.

Wei Lei is a man, and it is impossible to have lunch with Zhou Yuan alone. Wei Cheng gave him ten renminbi to eat noodles, but Wei Lei didn't answer. it is good."

Wei Cheng didn't say anything else, knowing Wei Lei's temper, he agreed.

Wei Cheng went to see the boat owner alone.

After crossing two streets, they arrived at the shopping street lined with restaurants and restaurants. The two of them went up to the second floor and pushed open the box on the second floor. The owner of the boat sat inside and waited alone, with a table of food on the table.

The boat owner said: "Boss Wei, didn't you have lunch, Gu ordered some dishes, let's talk while eating."

Wei Cheng: "Thank you, Boss Gu, then Wei is welcome."

The two ate and talked.

The boat owner also directly explained that he wanted to buy sauces, "Boss Wei, how do you sell your sauces?"

When coming over on the road, he chatted casually, and learned from Lu Dashan why the boat owner came to buy his sauce.

The reason is that Lu Dashan and the others dipped the dry food with miso and cooked vegetables with miso, and then several people ate together with relish. The smell of miso was so fragrant that it attracted the ship owner and steward who were eating in the cabin. They bought Lu Dashan took a small bottle of miso and chili oil to stir-fry vegetables, and the stir-fried dishes were even more delicious, and the rice with sauce alone was delicious.

The owner of the ship was in business, he traveled all over the world to collect a lot of rare goods, and only then did he have his current family fortune, and he had an idea after eating it.

The owner of the boat should have asked Lu Dashan for the price of miso and chili sauce.

Wei Cheng quoted the price: "Miso soy sauce is 16 renminbi a catty, chili oil is 30 renminbi."

The owner of the boat knew the price, which was the same as what Lu Dashan and the others bought. He wanted to order a large quantity, so it was impossible to buy at this price.

"Boss Wei, to be honest, I am in business, and buying sauces is also a business. If you are in business, you will not only buy ten catties or eight catties, but hundreds of catties or thousands of catties. The price you give is retail. The price, you can’t buy a hundred catties or buy it at retail price?”

Wei Cheng said directly: "Boss Gu should also know the price from Lu Dashan. The low price he sold to Lu Dashan was because they were customers. their money."

"It's different if we treat the sauce as a business. It will cost manpower and material resources to make a large batch of sauce. I can't let myself work for nothing. It doesn't matter whether I sell the sauce or not."

The boat owner pondered for a moment, and said, "If Boss Wei doesn't do sauce business...if I want to buy sauce recipes, I wonder if Boss Wei can sell them?"

Wei Cheng chuckled and said: "Boss Gu should see that the business of my stall is good, and the sauce is the most important reason. If Wei wants to sell the formula, that is to let Wei cut off his own business. It is a matter of self-destruction , presumably Boss Gu won’t do it either, right?”

The implication is that it will not be sold.

The boat owner thought about it, and Wei Cheng continued: "The sauce is not only delicious for making flatbread, it can also be used for cooking to make delicious dishes, and it can also be used in restaurants and restaurants."

The boat owner smiled, they are all understanding people.

He also thought that Wei Cheng didn't know how to do business, that he was overqualified to use sauce to make pancakes, and he didn't know how to sell sauce to restaurants, so it wasn't that he didn't understand.

"Since Boss Wei knows the purpose of the sauce, why didn't he cooperate with restaurants and restaurants? Isn't selling sauces more profitable than selling pancakes?"

"The house is simple, if it is bigger, there will be no room for it." Wei Cheng didn't explain too much.

The owner of the ship is not a troublesome person, "If you order more than 300 catties, can the price be lower?"

Wei Cheng: "That's the price, no kidding."

That's how he does business.

The boat owner wanted to say something, but Wei Cheng blocked his words behind him.

"I buy semi-finished sauces for six renminbi a catty, and then add various spices and cooking oil from the semi-finished products. The additional cost can be imagined. Boss Gu is in business, so he should be able to calculate the cost. I Selling it to Boss Gu at this price will definitely not be high."

In the end, the ship owner ordered 300 catties of sauce and 100 catties of chili oil, and prepared jars of sauces for delivery within three days.

The semi-finished sauce I bought at the beginning cost six yuan a catty, and if I added it to make it myself, the cost would also increase. Selling it for sixteen yuan a catty really didn't make much money.

Wei Cheng considered buying soybeans and making them himself, but this time he couldn't do it because there was no place to do it at home.

Wei Cheng went to a shop that sells miso sauce, everyone who sells miso sauce knows Wei Cheng, this is a big customer, in the past, only a few catties of sauce can be sold a day to earn more than ten or twenty renminbi, there is a big man like Wei Cheng Customers, if you make more money in the store, you can have a few good meals at home.

"My soybean paste is not bad, how much does it cost this time?"

"It's three hundred catties this time." He even forgot whether the store had three hundred catties of miso.

"Three hundred catties?!" Everyone was shocked by the amount.

"Available?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Yes, there are. I just made a batch. If it were two days earlier, there would be none. However, I can only sell you two hundred catties today, and there is another one hundred catties that will be available tomorrow. I don't know if you want more." don't want."

"I buy so much, can the price be lowered? If not, I'll go to another place to buy." Wei Cheng didn't say yes, let's talk about the price first.

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth, "It's 200 Wen less, no less."

"Yes!" Wei Cheng directly gave the deposit.

The shopkeeper said: "I'll send it over in a while. Hey, I forgot, you have to prepare the crock pot for miso. I can't give you the crock pot."

Wei Cheng: "..."

Feng Shui turns!

Wei Cheng went to buy a few crock pots that could hold a hundred catties, and also bought ingredients to make several hundred catties of sauce, and asked the store to deliver them to the door, and then went back after buying.

Zhou Yuan learned from Wei Lei that someone wanted to buy his family's miso, he thought it was the same as before, he bought three or two catties, and he didn't ask Wei Cheng when he came back.

Waiting for the goods to be delivered in the store, looking at the sauces and ingredients piled up in the hall, he asked blankly, "...how many catties does this cost?"

"To make four hundred catties of sauce." Wei Cheng looked at the things occupying the hall and felt a little headache.

"so much?!"

"Yeah." Wei Cheng apologized, "Yuan Yuan, the house is full of sauces, and the taste will be very pungent. If you don't like it, I won't sell it next time."

Before giving his daughter-in-law a comfortable home, he asked her to face the sauce ingredients in the hall, and he was afraid that Yuan Yuan, his family, would be angry.

"How could it be!" What did the husband say, it was all for making money.

Wei Cheng looked at his expression, his bright eyes were shining brightly, and he didn't dislike him at all, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Yuan Yuan, you are so kind."

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Why did your husband praise him?

Wei Cheng liked his blank expression the most. Before Zhou Yuan could react, he kissed him on the lips, and he let go after a long time. He still hugged him, "Yuan Yuan, these two days will be very busy."

Zhou Yuan leaned into his arms with a blushing face, and said softly, "I will help."

"Ok."

Making sauces, the stalls also do business, and the three of them worked for more than two days in a row to make the sauces Boss Gu asked for.

When Boss Gu came to pick up the goods, he was quite surprised to see Wei Cheng's house, but he didn't say anything, that is, when he picked up the goods, he took away the tile pot by the way, and paid for the tile pot.

After getting the money, Wei Cheng gave Wei Lei a bonus, but Wei Lei accepted it because he couldn't refuse.

Wei Cheng looked at the smell of the sauce in the house, and it seemed that he had to consider building a house and an operation room. The room could smell the sauce when he slept for the past two days, and he didn't want to try it in the future.

He didn't know that two hundred catties of sauce would be made in two days.

After two days of busy work, he didn't get much rest, so Wei Cheng took his wife back to his room to rest, by the way.

Once down, Zhou Yuan was even more tired.

Wei Cheng made dinner, Zhou Yuan glared angrily.

Wei Cheng pleases to feed his daughter-in-law.

Zhou Muzi's wedding day is coming, Zhou Yuan is going back to Qinghe Village and will stay in Qinghe Village for one night.

Wei Cheng didn't want to be separated from his wife, not even for one night, he liked to sleep with his wife in his arms.

If you don't want to, you have to agree.

"I want to use one tael of silver to add makeup to Muzi, is that okay?" Zhou Yuan asked in a low voice, then lowered his head after speaking, his small eyes were still secretly looking at Wei Cheng, fearing that Wei Cheng would be angry.

One tael of silver is quite a lot, and he gave it to others for nothing, but when he thought of Muzi's family situation, he wanted to help.

Zhou Yuan was a little worried, whether he was too arrogant because he was too fond of him, Wei Cheng was so kind to him, and he still wanted to use money to supplement his friends, what would he do if Wei Cheng got angry.

Seeing Zhou Yuan's reaction, Wei Cheng sighed inwardly, if his daughter-in-law lowered her head again, she would be compressed into the tortoise shell.

Sitting beside Zhou Yuan, Wei Cheng hugged him in his arms, "Yuan Yuan, I didn't say I gave it to you. The money in the family is yours and mine. What do you want to do, as long as it doesn't affect you badly, the money in the family is yours." You can use it, if you spend it all, the husband will earn it back and spend it for you."

Zhou Yuan reached out and hugged Wei Cheng tightly, and buried himself in his arms, joy bubbling in his heart.

He has seen too many families, all arguing because of money. Even if the relationship between those couples before and after marriage is very sweet, as long as it is related to money, no matter how good the relationship is, they will quarrel.

He loves Wei Cheng very much, and he doesn't want to quarrel, otherwise, he will be very sad.

Wei Cheng was really kind to him, and he wanted to be like this for the rest of his life. But Wei Cheng is so capable and outstanding, he is afraid that Wei Cheng is too good to be snatched away by others.

Because he is a brother, he is not worthy of Wei Cheng.

Even when he has time to study hard, he still gets restless.

Now, with Wei Cheng's words, the uneasiness in his heart seemed to be wiped away all at once.

Zhou Yuan's sensitivity comes from external factors, and his identity as brother. In this world, brothers are always inferior to women, and the world is too harsh on brothers.

Wei Cheng hugged Zhou Yuan, but he didn't know Zhou Yuan's thoughts. If he knew, he would definitely feel distressed, and he would also know that he ignored ancient secular etiquette.

In fact, even if Wei Cheng doesn't know it now, if he encounters various problems in the future, he will be the first to protect his daughter-in-law.
