Two more people came and said they wanted to buy some rice. Shopkeeper Han's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly became a little anxious. He quickly said, "Girl, we bought this recipe from Lianxiang House. Look at one hundred taels, no, two hundred taels."
how?"
Tian Huairen was startled when he heard this and wanted to speak, but seeing his daughter's calm face, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
Tian Minyan smiled faintly and lowered her eyes. Two hundred taels was not a small sum for the three-bedroom house of their Tian family. It could even be said to be an astronomical figure. However, since there are competitors, can the highest bidder get it?
So, she smiled lightly and said: "Look, Shopkeeper Han, I have a buyer again, how about I meet them and get back to you?"
"How does this happen?" Shopkeeper Han suddenly became anxious and said urgently: "The so-called first come, first served, everything is first come first served, especially for business people. I have already negotiated with the girl here, but there is no reason for the girl to go again.
Isn’t it right to meet someone from another family? That’s the so-called integrity.”
Tian Minyan snorted, looked at him sideways and said, "Shopkeeper Han is wrong. I never said I wanted to sell you the goods from the beginning to the end, and you haven't made an offer yet? The so-called delivery with one hand, payment with the other.
It's a matter of course. Even if I give the prescription to someone else now, it's just as I please, because I haven't had any monetary transactions with you, so it can't be said to have ruined my integrity."
Shopkeeper Han was startled after hearing this, thinking that although this girl was young, she was very difficult to deal with. He could not find any fault in her words.
"One more thing, the so-called higher bidder gets it, this has always been the case. Shopkeeper Han offered two hundred taels, and the other party offered three hundred taels, five hundred taels, so I would naturally sell the recipe to the party with the higher price. After all, this is
It's not some treacherous thing, they are all serious businessmen and pastry shops. Shopkeeper Han, do you think so?"
Shopkeeper Han laughed sarcastically and said: "What the girl is saying is that I was in a hurry, so I talked nonsense and asked the girl to take care of me. It's just that girl, I, Lianxiang House, sincerely want to do this business with the girl. It's not as good as the girl."
Make an offer, if the price is fair, we will definitely buy it."
Tian Minyan pondered for a moment, pursed her lips, and made a bold idea, then said: "Five hundred taels." She looked up at Shopkeeper Han and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Han can give out five hundred taels, so this cake recipe is the best."
Now that I have returned to Lianxianglou, I will also give other recipes of other flavors to your store."
"Five hundred taels!"
Shopkeeper Han and Tian Huairen exclaimed one after another, especially Tian Huairen, who looked at his daughter as if he had seen a ghost.
This is too expensive, it is undoubtedly an astronomical sum of money!
"Girl, this..."
"Shopkeeper Han said that your shop has numerous branches in four states and eight provinces, which means it has large-scale workshops. Shopkeeper Han, a small triangular cake costs fifteen cents. Your shop can still sell it more expensively with its century-old brand name.
Fifteen cents each, one hundred cents, one thousand cents and ten thousand cents?" Tian Minyan slowly made a calculation and said: "With so many semicolons, your store will be able to recover the cost in less than a month."
Not only can the cost be recovered, if this cake is not developed and imitated for a while, Lianxianglou can also make a lot of money. After all, he is the first person to eat crabs.
Shopkeeper Han pursed his lips, and finally remembered his boss's words, and made up his mind: "Okay! Five hundred taels is five hundred taels, girl, it's settled, you can't sell it to anyone else."
"Shopkeeper Han is so cheerful, and I'm not the one who says what he says and does what he says. Dad, go get the pen and ink, and we'll write down the recipe and make a contract."
"Ah, oh."
Tian Huairen walked out, and the matter was settled. Shopkeeper Han looked at the girl in front of him, who was only eleven or twelve years old. She was wearing a coarse cloth dress, her hair was combed into a double bun, and she didn't have any jewelry on her body, but it made her look...
Can't take my eyes away.
Who does the aura around you look like?
Ah, like the boss, yes, just like that kind of person, confident and courageous, making people believe in him for no reason.
"Miss Tian is so business-minded at such a young age, she will be really great in the future." Shopkeeper Han looked at her and praised her with a smile.
Tian Minyan smiled with a light expression on her face and said, "Shopkeeper Han is overly complimentary. I'm just talking nonsense."
The two of them talked intermittently. Tian Huairen soon came back with pen, ink and paper. Tian Minyan studied the ink and picked up the pen. Then she remembered that she was still reciting calligraphy, so she had to hand the pen over to him.
Shopkeeper Han: "I don't know many words, and I haven't practiced my handwriting well, so I still ask Shopkeeper Han to write."
Shopkeeper Han was stunned and quickly took it, without showing any look of contempt. It should be noted that it is a virtue for a woman to have no talent. Even if you don't know the words, you won't be said anything. What's more, a farmer's child cannot study.
Most of them, especially girls, have no chance of entering school.
First, a contract was made in duplicate stating the purchase and sale conditions and price. Both parties took their fingerprints. Tian Minyan then explained the most accurate cake proportions and recipe, word for word, and also gave many cake making tools.
proposal.
Finally, shopkeeper Han took out his purse from his sleeve, took out five hundred-tael silver notes and handed them to Tian Minyan, and said with a smile: "When I saw Miss Tian today, I realized that there are many talented people in this world. In the future, if the girl can come to the county, she will also be
Come and walk around my Lianxiang Building, it’s not a waste of time for us to get to know each other.”
"Then, can I have snacks for free?" A hint of slyness flashed in Tian Minyan's eyes.
Shopkeeper Han laughed out loud and said: "I'm just afraid that the girl won't appreciate it. It's a branch in Taiping Town. If the girl goes to buy it, it will be cheaper for you."
"Well, thank you so much, Shopkeeper Han." Tian Min looked happy, and after smiling, he said: "Shopkeeper Han should know that this cake is just for food. As time goes by, there may not be anyone who can't make it. Your shop will open this way.
You can also make a few more varieties, such as honey cake, chestnut cake, etc... As for the recipe proportions, you can only rely on your store to figure it out. After all, I don’t have the materials to make it here, so it’s impossible to teach you.”
As he spoke, he briefly talked about a few of the simplest cake flavor recipes he knew.
Shopkeeper Han was very grateful to her for her generous teaching without any secrets. He felt a little more happy in his heart. The injustice that he originally felt about paying such a big price of five hundred taels for a prescription was gradually eliminated.
All that's left is deep respect.
He bowed to Tian Minyan in an upright manner and said, "Today, I have a lady who has generously and selflessly given me all her money. Han thanked me on behalf of our employer."
"You're welcome, Shopkeeper Han." Tian Minyan smiled, then blinked and said, "It's just that even though Fangzi sold your Lianxiang House, I can still make this snack at home, right?"
"That's natural, haha." Shopkeeper Han responded. Since we can continue to supply and demand Wenxiangju's cakes, what does it mean to make some at home?
