Chapter 106: Three Suggestions

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

She was clearly just a little girl in her early teens, but at this moment, the two shopkeepers, who had been in the business world for a long time, did not feel the difference in their age. Shopkeeper Xu said solemnly, “Miss Ning, do you have any suggestions?”

Xiaoxiao smiled and raised a finger. “There are three suggestions. First, the simplest one for you is to buy out. I’ll sell you everything from the beginning to the end. From then on, no third party will get any recipes from me, and 1 won’t sell them again for money.”

She explained very clearly. Shopkeeper Xu nodded. “Continue with the second one.”

Xiaoxiao raised her second finger. “The second is that 1’11 provide the half-finished products. As for the Ruyi buns, I’ll provide you with seasonings. The prawn dumplings will be wrapped and sent over. You can just steam them in the kitchen. However, if you choose this, I won’t tell you how to make the seasonings and crystal skin. Of course, I’m confident that no one can figure out how to make the crystal skin if they only look at the half-finished products.”

Shopkeeper Xu frowned and was already in a dilemma. However, Xiaoxiao slowly raised her third finger. “The third…”

She chuckled and pretended to be embarrassed. “It’s just that the two of us will cooperate to open a snack shop. 1’11 provide the technology and a portion of the capital. I’ll leave the rest to you. I’ll launch at least one new product every month. In the future, the profits of this shop will be divided according to the ratio, but there must be an additional clause in the contract. Unless I’m willing, you can’t take my share of the shop.”

Shopkeeper Xu was shocked. He felt that from today onwards, he could not only treat Xiaoxiao as an ordinary girl who was smarter. It was probably not too much to treat her as an opponent with comparable strength!

After thinking about it seriously, he said to Xiaoxiao, “Let me think about this question for a few days before giving you an answer. However, I’m very curious about something. Do you know how much money it costs to open a shop? In business, 1 have to remind you that you can’t legitimately take the money if you pay too little capital.”

Xiaoxiao turned to Shopkeeper Liu and revealed a professional smile.

Shopkeeper Liu trembled. “Why are you looking at me?” If you want to borrow money, just say it. It’s not like I won’t give it to you!

Xiaoxiao’s tone suddenly had the aura of a cult. “It’s not long before the Duanwu Festival, right? Beautiful Sister, do you want to increase the total sales of the cloth shop by several times that day? Do you want to see the grand occasion of the long queue in front of the shop? Do you want to feel the excitement of the abundance of customers?”

Shopkeeper Liu looked at her as if she was a liar.

Xiaoxiao shrugged and said bluntly this time, “Just tell me if you want to earn big money.”

Shopkeeper Liu took a sip of tea. Business people pursued profits, so naturally

“I’d like to hear the details.”

A few days later, the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant began to publicize that their sour bamboo shoots had been modified. They were cheap and delicious. They tasted exactly the same as the Fragrance Restaurant’s, but the price was only half of theirs.

It was human nature to take advantage of a good deal. At noon on the day this news spread, the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant was filled with customers who came after hearing the news. The Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant even said that if anyone felt that the taste was wrong, the entire table would be free. In this way, the number of customers increased greatly.

It was not that the dishes made from sour bamboo shoots or sour bamboo shoots were really that delicious. Most people just felt that it was rare for them to have something new. They wanted to eat it for fun and to be happy. After all, they had to eat. They only needed five copper coins to buy things that others bought for io copper coins. Wasn’t that happy?

Shopkeeper Lei was quite satisfied with the liveliness of the restaurant today. After reading the accounts, he got someone to follow up on the Fragrance Restaurant’s predicament and wanted to add some fun to himself. However, the servant was arrogant and excited when he was sent out. When he returned, he looked dejected..
