21 Pickle Business (1/2)

Seeing the sincere smile on the little girl's face and the endless stream of words from her, the Lady Boss's heart softened.

She winked at her man, then said, ”Little girl, you're right. I'll try it out first. How are you planning on selling these sauces?”

The smile on her face became even brighter, and she said, ”Thank you, Lady Boss, for giving me the chance. My pickled cucumber is sold at one catty, one catty for one dollar, you can split it into ten small plates, and you can sell each dish at two catties. This way, you can earn one catty per catty.

As for the other sauces and salted vegetables, wait for my family to discuss with me before we start to set the price. In two days, I'll bring the other sauces over.

Boss Wu nodded his head. The price was not that expensive and if he could sell it, the profits would be quite good as well. His heart stirred as he asked:

”Why is it that only a little girl like you came to your house when you're selling pickles?”

She decided to tell the truth, orphans and widows were more likely to arouse sympathy. If she could achieve her goal, she would feel that it would not be shameful to say plus she wasn't lying, she did not cheat.

My mom and I are the only two people in my family. My mom cooked the cucumber sauce very well, but she wasn't very good at talking, so I took a leave of absence today and volunteered to take up the heavy responsibility of discussing business.

As expected, when they heard her words, the Lady Boss couldn't help but ask, ”Where's your father?”

Wan Chu'er froze for a moment, then retracted the smile on her face. She lowered her eyes and said indifferently, ”My father sacrificed himself.”

”Your father was a soldier?” The word 'sacrifice' always associated people with the People's Liberation Army.

”Yes.”

Wan Chao'er didn't want to continue talking about her father, so she changed the subject and said, ”I'll send the pickled cucumbers over in three days. How many pounds do you want for the first time?”

Lady Wu was the first to speak. ”Give us three catties first. Let's see how the customers react first. We'll decide on the quantity later.”

”Alright.”

After this was settled, Wan Chu'er promised to bring three catties of pickled cucumber in three days' time, then packed her things and left.

Seeing that she put the bottle of cucumber from before back into her bag, Boss Wu laughed, ”Leave this bottle of cucumber for us, it's pretty tasty.”

”I'm sorry, but I still have some use for this jar of pickled cucumber today. If you need it, I can send some to you tomorrow.”

”Oh, what use do you have?”

”I have to go to other restaurants to talk about cooperation.”

Madame Wu and her wife were somewhat surprised, but after some thought, they realized that their family alone was not enough. If they only sold them for three catties a week, the mother and daughter pair would still have to drink from the northwest wind.

With the opening of the Wu Family noodle shop, Wan Chao'er confidently continued to look for her next target.

For the next half day, she ran more than thirty restaurants in Wutong County, including the Wu family noodle house. There were a total of ten restaurants, all of which had been agreed upon and delivered on the third day.

Every time she talked about to the store, she would write it down in a small notebook. After the last family finished running, she would have to deliver 50 kg of goods for the first delivery. She couldn't help but smile with a sense of accomplishment.

After today's afternoon of smiling, she seemed to have given up the smile she had for a lifetime. She rubbed her sore cheeks, but felt that this smile was more impressive than ever.
