Confiscated and exiled?Phew, I emptied the warehouse first

Chapter 250 Selling Candy

Ruyi Building.

Sitting next to Yan Yi was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old.

His body was covered in dirt, and due to long-term malnutrition, he looked like a bean sprout.

It looks very small.

But the vicissitudes of life on his face made him look very mature.

When sitting next to Yan Yi, his eyes would wander around habitually.

It seems that he has been thinking about something.

He also seems to distrust everyone.

Yan Yi tried to ask him a few questions, but he was very defensive.

Except for handing Yan Yi Su Mo's hairpin, he rarely responded.

From his few words, Yan Yi learned that the boy's name was Luo Chenxi, and that he had a sick brother at home who needed care. His brother's name was Luo Chenguang.

Not long after the two were together, the shopkeeper of Ruyilou came over under the guidance of the waiter.

When he saw the shopkeeper of Ruyilou, Yan Yi was obviously stunned for a moment.

To be able to open this restaurant, Yan Yi thought that he must be a wealthy person.

However, what Yan Yi saw was a bald middle-aged man.

The man/has a potbelly, and there are oil stains on his clothes. He looks smoky and a bit greasy.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't have the temperament of a shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper's eyes fell on Luo Chenxi, he gave the waiter a confused look.

It's really strange.

Who would bring a beggar to a restaurant to discuss business?

The waiter nodded: "That's right, that's the customer. The one next to him is from later, and he's not familiar with this customer either."

The shopkeeper then smiled apologetically:

"Sorry guest, I am Xie Sanxie, the shopkeeper of Ruyi Building. You can also call me shopkeeper Xie. I was just researching new dishes in the kitchen and kept you waiting for a long time."

What he said was to the point and he explained things clearly.

Yan Yi looked at shopkeeper Xie calmly. He didn't reply, and the room suddenly felt inexplicably dull.

Even Luo Chenxi on the side was a little restless, and his eyes kept wandering over the two of them.

Originally Xie Sanxie was still smiling.

However, as time went on, his smile could no longer be maintained.

Although anyone who comes here is a guest, it is rare to encounter such an unreasonable guest.

I was so angry and apologized to him, but the other party didn't say a word!

Just when Xie Sanxie's smile was about to collapse, Yan Yi suddenly smiled gently.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. I have admired you for a long time."

Xie Sanxie was a little confused for a moment.

Why did he suddenly admire himself for a long time when he didn't say a word just now?

"I heard that the young master has a business that he wants to discuss with me?"

Yan Yi has always maintained a commercial smile.

"Yes, I wonder if the shopkeeper has sugar here?"

Su Mo was not by Yan Yi's side at the moment. If she were, she would probably be amazed. Yan Yi's posture is that of a standard negotiator.

During the moment of silence, Yan Yi took advantage of Xie Sanxie's mentality to put pressure on him invisibly, which also made it easier for him to raise the price of sugar.

Xie Sanxie shook his head.

Some of their restaurant's dishes do use sugar, but they usually use ordinary sugar cubes.

In terms of taste and appearance, white sugar is definitely better than sugar cubes.

He also once thought that if the sugar cubes were replaced with white sugar, the taste and color of many dishes would definitely be improved by several levels.

However, white sugar is rare and expensive, especially in Shilu County.

Even if there was sugar in the restaurant, he would definitely treat it as a treasure and not use it in cooking. However, Zuixianglou does have a small amount of white sugar. I heard that only wealthy people can mix it with water to enjoy themselves.

Moreover, the amount of white sugar in Zuixianglou is limited, so use a little less.

Normally, the people in Zuixianglou are so precious that they are reluctant to take it out.

Now Yan Yi asked him if there was any sugar in the restaurant, presumably because he wanted to buy some sugar from him, but unfortunately, the business could not be done.

"You must also know that white sugar is a rare thing and I don't have it here."

At this time, Xie Sanxie was already sitting at the same table with Yan Yi. He picked up the teapot, poured himself a bowl of tea, and drank it down.

"But if you want to buy sugar, I heard that Zuixianglou has some. You can go there and ask."

Although the businesses of Zuixianglou and Ruyilou have always been in competition, Xie Sanxie still recommended Yan Yi frankly.

With this broad-mindedness and magnanimity, Yan Yi felt that doing business with this person would be reliable.

"Shopkeeper Xie misunderstood. I don't want to sell candy, but..."

Yan Yi pushed the cloth bag on the table in front of Xie Sanxie: "Selling candy."

what?

Selling candy?

What does it mean?

Is the sugar that Yan Yi asked just now in this bag?

Xie Sanxie suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and quickly opened the cloth bag.

Hahaha.

Sure enough, as he thought, there was sugar in this cloth bag.

Although the color is not that snow-white, the quality is definitely high-quality.

He picked up a few sugar grains and tasted them in his mouth.

Ok……

It's really sweet!

If he collects these sugars, then the sugar in Shilu County will not only be available in Zuixianglou.

Ruyilou can also use this to push their business upward.

If these white sugars were not enough, then Ruyilou would be able to overtake Zuixianglou in just a short time.

Shopkeeper Xie suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "I want to take all the sugar. Master, please give me a price."

"As for the price, you just have to decide. If I think it's suitable, I'll sell it."

Shopkeeper Xie asked again: "Do you still have channels for these sugars?"

Yan Yi: "This is what a relative of mine from Fucheng brought to me when he came to visit me. I only have these, and I don't know if my relative has any other options. If the price is right, I can ask him later."

Yan Yi must not let anyone know that Su Mo knows how to make sugar.

Now, he can't get any honors, and his status as a scholar is not very useful. Su Mo knows a lot of things, but has no corresponding support. This will easily make people miss him.

So, it’s better to be careful in everything.

"May I ask what your name is, young master? Where are you from?"

"Dewa Village, surnamed Wang."

If Yan Yi remembers correctly, the Wang family who were exiled together were assigned to Dewa Village.

In this way, no one would be suspicious of his words.

Seeing that shopkeeper Xie wanted to ask, Yan Yi's face darkened: "Shopkeeper, do you still want to buy this sugar?"

He just wants to follow the instructions given by his wife and sell the sugar at a suitable price.

But he didn't want the shopkeeper to know his identity.

"Buy, buy, buy." Seeing that Yan Yi was a little unhappy, the shopkeeper said quickly, "Sir, wait a moment, I'll get a scale to weigh it."

Shopkeeper Xie quickly asked the waiter to get a scale to weigh the sugar, and he weighed out a total of seven and a half taels.

Shopkeeper Xie thought for a while and reported the amount to Yan Yi: "Two pieces of money, what do you think, Master?"
