Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

Chapter 31 Give something better to sell
Chang Pingning had just asked the question about buying a car. Before Ye Xiuying could answer, the two of them saw Chef Wang hurriedly coming to them with Cyclamen's errands.

Chef Wang said hello to Guo's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and put his hand on the apron and rubbed it.

"You two brought sea urchins again today?" Chef Wang looked a little embarrassed. "To be honest, the price of sea urchins in the town's wet market today is ridiculously low. I heard it dropped to six cents a piece. Plus, The two ladies of the Guo family came a little later than usual this morning..."

Ye Xiuying's expression was clear: "It seems that Cyclamen saved a lot of money on sea urchins today."

"It's true." Chef Wang said a little, "The shopkeeper and I originally planned not to collect sea urchins for the next two or three days." As he said this, he wiped the non-existent sweat on his head.

"But Madam Guo, don't worry. Since you are here to deliver sea urchins today, we will definitely charge them at the price of 'eight cents a piece' agreed upon before." Chef Wang said with a sincere expression on his face.

Chang Pingning listened to the long series of words that Chef Wang had previously prepared, and thought that the sea urchins that he and his mother-in-law picked up and brought today after staying up late today would not be sold. Unexpectedly, not only could they continue to be sold to cyclamen, but they could also be sold according to the regulations. Sold at original price.Really overjoyed.

"Chef Wang is so polite." Ye Xiuying said, "Girl Ning and I didn't catch the ox cart in the village today and walked half way. When we got to the town, we heard that the price of sea urchins had dropped to five cents a piece. Now Wang The chef still charged the original price, but we were embarrassed to take the money."

Although Chang Pingning understood her mother-in-law's refusal, she still felt that her mother-in-law was a little too human.Unfortunately, her mother-in-law was present and it was not her turn to make a decision, so she could only continue to sit quietly.

"Don't be sorry." Chef Wang's expression was very sincere at this time. He looked at the two ladies of the Guo family eagerly, "Thanks to you two for helping us connect with the Liu family. This price is also based on the relationship between you and the Liu family. It’s given as a share.”

Ye Xiuying hesitated for a while, and then said: "In that case, my daughter-in-law and I picked up some large conch and crab roe yesterday, and we will treat them as supplements for you to buy sea urchins."

With that said, Ye Xiuying brought one of the buckets of seafood to Chef Wang and opened the lid on the bucket.

"Look, they are quite big." Ye Xiuying smiled.

"Madam Guo is a real person." Chef Wang praised, "Although we will not collect sea urchins for the next two or three days, if you two can bring scallops, we cyclamen will still collect them.

"Last time, Mrs. Meng taught us Cyclamen's 'Garlic Vermicelli Scallops' which was very popular with everyone. The scallops have been selling very fast in the restaurant recently. If you two can send us scallops, we will charge a little more than the market price." .”

"But..." Ye Xiuying hesitated for a while, and then asked, "A restaurant as big as Cyclamen should have seafood stall owners who come and go frequently..."

Chang Pingning saw that Chef Wang nodded after listening to his mother-in-law's words, without any intention of interrupting.

"Those larger seafood stall owners didn't look down on sea urchins before, and it was also because sea urchins couldn't be sold at a high price before. Their large stall owners didn't have enough sea urchins, so it's understandable that cyclamen are getting a steady supply from us.

"But scallops...big stall owners can also supply a lot of goods to restaurants, right?" Ye Xiuying asked.

Chang Pingning knew what her mother-in-law had omitted. Why did cyclamen like the scallops they sent?
Chef Wang smiled cheerfully: "Wang admires Madam Guo's thoughtfulness! However, sea urchins cannot be sold at a high price now. If we ask you to bring sea urchins over, it will be time-consuming and laborious. It is better to send something that sells better."

"Besides, according to the sea urchin price negotiated with you two before Cyclamen came, if you still charge it at the original price, it will be a loss for the restaurant. Why not switch to scallops, which will not only allow you to make money, but also avoid Loss of the restaurant. With one or two more buckets of scallops every day, the cyclamen can still eat it."

Chef Wang's explanation can be considered sincere.Ye Xiuying nodded and handed the two barrels of seafood she brought to the restaurant errand boy.

Chang Pingning watched as Chef Wang counted the number of sea urchins they brought and put the money for the sea urchins on the table.Just when she was about to calculate the money for another bucket of conches and sea crabs, my mother-in-law simply collected the money for the sea urchins on the table and refused to ask for more.Chef Wang's expression was surprised at first, then happy. He handed over to Ye Xiuying: "If Madam Guo brings seafood from now on, we Cyclamen will definitely accept it."

Chang Pingning realized belatedly that her mother-in-law wanted to maintain a long-term delivery relationship with Cyclamen by relying on this profit transfer.

Moreover, I just learned from my mother-in-law’s words that a restaurant as big as Cyclamen has no shortage of long-term supply vendors, and sometimes they even look down on small vendors like them.

Chef Wang did not deny what his mother-in-law said.

The restaurant's errand boy was clever. He saw that Chef Wang paid great attention to the two country women in front of him during the conversation just now. Moreover, they seemed to know the etiquette and know how to advance and retreat.

Therefore, when sending Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying away, the errand boy specially told them: "The price of sea urchins in the vegetable market has been greatly reduced now, and it is estimated that they will not be able to sell at the original price in the future. I also hope that you two can send some other seafood." Come here. Of course, there are scallops like the scallops our chef just mentioned, and some rare seafood. These may be sold at a higher price."

Ye Xiuying nodded and asked tentatively: "Brother, what do you mean, the conches and sea crabs brought today cannot be sold at a high price?"

The errand boy of the restaurant smiled sheepishly: "Auntie, you can't say that. The ones delivered today are quite big. You can get a lot of money by selling them in the vegetable market, but as the aunt had guessed before, our restaurant has already been fixed by someone. I’ve given you these two things, and if you give them again, it stands to reason that you won’t accept a bucketful of them.”

After hearing what they said about running errands, Chang Pingning felt scared. Fortunately, her mother-in-law didn't charge more money at that time. It would be difficult to handle if Chef Wang misunderstood them as being greedy.

Ye Xiuying smiled: "Thank you for the reminder, brother. If the restaurant is inconvenient to collect them, we can also sell them elsewhere. But today, Chef Wang insisted on collecting sea urchins at the originally agreed price, which is two or three cents more than the market price. We felt a little sorry for the money, so we gave away the conches and crabs.”

After a few more polite words, Chang Pingning and her mother-in-law left Cyclamen.

The two walked around the town and found that the price of sea urchins was trending lower.In this case, Chang Pingning was dragged to a tea stall by her mother-in-law to have tea, and she heard the tea guests next to her talking loudly about the price of sea urchins.

"Now they sell for four cents each."

"Nonsense, my mother-in-law just came out of the market and she already has three cents a piece."

"What? My family bought it earlier, but it was priced at six cents a piece. No! I want to go to the vendor to refund the money, but why does the price go up when they say it goes up, and when I say it's refundable, it's refunded."

A tea customer said something, stood up angrily and left the tea stall.

"How can I get this money back? If he can get it back, then the seven cents he bought yesterday can also be refunded?" A tea guest said while shaking his head in disapproval.

Chang Pingning and her mother-in-law were eating tea quietly.After a while, Chang Pingning heard her mother-in-law snort coldly.

"All the good things were sold and ruined by Guo Yuhua."
