Chapter 353 - 353: Business Knocking at the Door
Master Shen helped Jun Lan to sit on the chair. She had a precious son in her stomach, so he didn’t want her to get injured. “As long as you give birth to a son for me, I can give you anything you want.”
Jun Lan was overjoyed. “Yes, Master.”
At this moment, Madam Shen rushed in angrily and scolded, “B*tch, you still want to have a son.”
Jun Lan hurriedly hid behind Master Shen, her face filled with fear. She was really afraid of Madam Shen. “Master…”
In front of his concubine, Master Shen could finally experience the feeling of being a man. At this moment, when he saw Madam Shen, he was only annoyed. “Feng Wenqin, get out of here.”
When Madam Shen heard this, she became even angrier. “Get out? Why should 1 get out? I’m the mistress. If anyone should get out, it should be this b*tch!”
“Don’t call her a b*tch. She’s pregnant with the Shen family’s bloodline now. If you scold her, you’re scolding my Shen family. Feng Wenqin, if you’re dissatisfied, get out of the Shen family. Without you, the Shen family will only prosper.”
Master Shen had been bullied by Madam Shen enough and was now rebellious.
Madam Shen was so angry that she vomited blood. “Shen Dalang, have you forgotten who saved the Shen family back then? It’s me. You burned the bridge after crossing it. You’re ungrateful!”
Master Shen didn’t mind and said, “So what If 1 burn the bridge after crossing it. So what if I’m ungrateful. Feng Wenqin, I’ve tolerated you for a long time. I won’t tolerate you anymore.”
Madam Shen was so angry that her heart ached. After going through so much, she really didn’t expect her husband to be such a wolf. “Shen Dalang, aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?”
Master Shen was not afraid at all. Instead, he added, “Hehe, Feng Wenqin, go back and clean up the main courtyard. Let Jun Lan and I stay there.”
Madam Shen was so angry that her vision darkened. “Shen Dalang, say that again.”
Master Shen shouted impatiently, “I can say it ten times. Hurry up and vacate the main courtyard. Jun Lan wants to stay there.”
It was too infuriating. Madam Shen’s breathing quickened. Before she could catch her breath, she fainted again.
Han Xinyu hurriedly helped her up and brought her back to the main courtyard.
The doctor was invited and said that Madam Shen’s condition had worsened again, and there were signs of a slight stroke. One of her hands was a little insensitive.
If she continued to be angry, she might be paralyzed.
Han Xinyu stood by the bed and looked at Madam Shen. She thought to herself that Madam’s health was not good anymore. Now that Master doted on the new concubine, should she go and curry favor?
If Madam Shen knew that her personal servant girl was thinking about betraying her, would she faint from anger again?
After they left the county office, Chu Qingzhi and the others went to pick up Chu Qingyue, then met up with Chu Qingshuang, who was waiting at the exit of the county, and walked towards the Chu Village together.
Chu Qingyue and Chu Qingshuang looked at each other. Why did the four of them look a little depressed?
Chu Qingyue went forward and held Chu Qingzhi’s hand. She asked with concern, “Fifth Sister, I see that you’re unhappy. Did something bad happen?”
Chu Qingzhi shook her head. “No, it’s just that the case we are investigating has kind of stagnated, so I’m a little depressed.”
Chu Qingyue comforted. “It takes time. Solving a case can’t be done in a day or two. Don’t give yourself too much pressure.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Got it, Second Sister.”
“Wait…” An urgent shout came from behind. Chu Qingzhi and the others stopped and turned around to look.
The voice came from Tan Mengyang. He waved at them. “Everyone, get in the carriage. Miss Chu, can we talk about the bread and biscuit cooperation?”
Since business came knocking, there was naturally no reason to reject it. Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded. “Okay.”
Tan Mengyang’s carriage was very spacious. It did not feel crowded even with so many people sitting in it.
The carriage continued to move towards the Chu Village…
In the carriage, Tan Mengyang said, “Qingzhi, bread and biscuits are very easy to sell. Some people who had bought them even came back to buy them a second time. The shop assistant said that they are all sold out. The customers said they would come back tomorrow to buy more.”
It seemed that everyone was quite accepting of novel and delicious food. Chu Qingzhi was relieved. “Young Master Tan, how do you want to cooperate?”
Tan Mengyang said, “I want 100 kilos of bread and 100 kilos of biscuits every day. There are only two requirements. One is that the taste of the bread and biscuits have to be at this level. The second is that the food has to be fresh.”
Chu Qingzhi promised, “The taste will definitely not change. 1 might invent new flavors in the future. Freshness is also not a problem. Young Master Tan, don’t worry.”
“Then there’s no problem.” Tan Mengyang changed the topic. “By the way, all the mooncakes have been ordered. After those shopkeepers tasted the mooncakes, they signed a contract without thinking. However, there’s one thing. You have to finish all the 30,000 mooncakes by August 13th.”
“Thirteenth and fourteenth are the times when mooncakes are the easiest to sell. Past that, the price will drop.”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “It can be done. I originally planned to finish it before the 13th anyway.”
Tan Mengyang was relieved and asked, “Miss Chu, how much do you plan to sell the mooncakes for?”
Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment and said, “The mooncakes are usually sold for 35 copper coins each. Since you want them all, let’s do 30 copper coins each.”
Tan Mengyang smiled and said, “Miss Chu is really a good business partner. Perhaps we can still work together next year.”
Chu Qingzhi said politely, “Thank you, Young Master Tan.”
When the others heard their conversation, they could not help but think that doing business seemed so simple. It felt like it was just a matter of a few words?
Especially Ge Lihua, she knew more or less about doing business. She recalled that when her father was discussing business, the other party would keep lowering the price. Sometimes, her father would have to treat the client to a meal.
After returning to the Chu Village, Chu Qingzhi asked Shen Ruyue to prepare the contract before signing it with Tan Mengyang. She watched Li Qingyu and the others bake bread and biscuits in the kitchen.
They baked a lot of bread, but most of it had been sold by Chu Xuede and the others. Now, there were only 10 kilos of bread and 2 kilos of biscuits.
Chu Qingzhi said, “Mother, Young Master Tan is coming tomorrow morning to get 100 kilos of bread and 100 kilos of biscuits.”
There was no need to bake mooncakes at night. The oven was empty. It would not take long to bake 100 kilos of bread and 100 kilos of biscuits.
Li Qingyu asked in surprise, “So many?”
Chu Qingzhi massaged Li Qingyu’s shoulders and said sweetly, “Yes, so I’ll have to trouble you tonight.”
She needed to discuss the case with Tang Jinghong and solve it as soon as possible.
She also had to teach Chu Qingyan how to do makeup. This was what she had promised.
So there was no time to help with making the bread and biscuits..
