So, after the shopkeeper reported to the owner of the inn, the owner decided to test the waters and asked Wang Fugui for a few pounds of dried seafood and seaweed as payment for the accommodation for a few days.

The innkeeper asked the chef to use these new ingredients to study and see if he could create some new dishes.

If the customers like it, they can just buy more seafood from Wang Fugui as backup. If the sales volume doesn't increase, they can only say sorry.

After all, they are doing business and cannot do business at a loss. When the agreed time comes, they can only let Wang Fugui take his things and leave the inn.

Wang Fugui was naturally grateful for the few days he had gained. He also understood what would be the end of him if he could not make money in these few days.

So that day Wang Fugui took his dried seafood and went to other restaurants and hotels to promote them.

Restaurants and dining halls are all in the food business and they all have their own stable channels for sourcing ingredients. They have been cooperating with each other for many years and know each other well, so the safety of the ingredients is guaranteed.

When it comes to Wang Fugui who actively comes to seek cooperation, the owners of all major restaurants have the same attitude, which is to refuse.

It's not a good deal to be the one who is pushing forward. Besides, Wang Fugui is a stranger who has never seen him before, and he is selling things that they have never seen before, so naturally he cannot gain their trust.

There were a few people who were interested and were willing to spend time listening to Wang Fugui explain the source of the goods, but they decisively left after hearing his offer.

Wang Fugui's offer was much lower than the price he originally wanted to sell it for in Beijing, but for the shopkeepers and bosses doing business in the small town, this price was far beyond their psychological price.

No matter how good the products are, it will be useless if the price is too high and they cannot be sold. At the end of the day, Wang Fugui did not make a single deal.

After a series of setbacks, Wang Fugui became completely depressed. He now truly realized how difficult and hard it is to do business.

Without the Huixianju signboard, no one would give him face.

Finally, the innkeeper couldn't stand it anymore and suggested that he take the goods to the market to try.

Wang Fugui had no other choice but to give it a try. With the mentality of giving it a try, he packed more than ten pounds of different seafood into cloth bags and took them to the market to set up a stall.

The town market charged five copper coins a day as a stall fee. In order to pay the stall fee, Wang Fugui pawned all his clothes and shoes. He used the money from the pawning to buy two sets of clothes. The remaining money was used to pay the stall fee, and was only enough for three meals a day.

In order to maintain a stable customer base, people who set up stalls here to do business basically stay in one location and do not move.

During the days when Wang Fugui set up a stall, the stall owners next to him all moved their stalls a little further away.

Because they can't stand the fishy smell of seafood.

Wang Fugui had stayed in the fishing village for some time, and had been dealing with these seafoods day and night these days, so he had long been accustomed to the taste. Naturally, he didn't think anything of it. He sat calmly on the bench, waiting for customers to come.

At first, some people came forward to ask about the price out of curiosity, but they all ran away after he quoted the price.

He also reflected on whether his price was too high, so after careful consideration, he adjusted the price appropriately downward when the next customer came to ask about the price.

He found that this was not much different from what he had done before.

Three days passed in a flash, and he hadn't made a single deal. The deadline for the inn was approaching.

If there is no more business, Wang Fugui plans to sell all these things at a low price.

He no longer expects to make money from this. As long as he can collect enough money for the trip back home, he will be satisfied.

Today, a customer came to his stall again and looked at the things on his stall curiously.

"What are these?"

After Wang Fugui looked at Lin Chuyi, he felt a little disappointed. He didn't think a little girl could buy much seafood.

But as long as she bought it, he would have money to continue paying the rent and would have more time to sell these things.

So, Wang Fugui enthusiastically introduced his products to Lin Chuyi.

After hearing Lin Chuyi say that he could buy all the goods he brought out, he, a grown man, almost cried in public.

It’s not easy. After so many days, I finally met someone who knows what he is doing.

Wang Fugui was afraid that Lin Chuyi would be persuaded by the vegetable vendor not to buy the vegetables, so he quickly called her aside and whispered about the price with her.

"Little girl, what the guy next to you said is true. I've set up my stall here for several days, but it's not open yet. But that's because they don't know what these things are. These are really good stuff. I originally planned to take them to Beijing to sell. Once these things arrive in Beijing, the price can at least increase tenfold."

Lin Chuyi was really shocked this time. Is it possible that the price range of seafood is so large?

Wang Fugui saw Lin Chuyi's shocked expression and was afraid that she didn't believe it, so he quickly added some explanation.

"What I said is true. I have absolutely no intention of fooling you. I am originally from Beijing. I went south to buy some seafood to resell in Beijing for the sake of the price difference. If you don't believe me, I can take you to the inn. I still have a lot of goods piled up there."

Lin Chuyi was a little puzzled. "If that's the case, then you must be a wealthy person. Why did you end up like this?"

When Wang Fugui heard Lin Chuyi's question, he smiled bitterly and said, "It's a long story..."

Then, Wang Fugui briefly recounted to Lin Chuyi the bad experiences he had had during that period.

After hearing Wang Fugui's experience, Lin Chuyi did not choose to believe him immediately, but used "Wisdom Eyes" to confirm his identity information.

After confirming that what he said was indeed the truth, she also felt some sympathy for this unfortunate rich second-generation.

However, sympathy is sympathy and business is business. She is willing to help this person solve his current predicament, but she also does not want to be taken advantage of.

After Lin Chuyi pondered for a while, he looked up at Wang Fugui and said the prepared lines.

"I can accept your goods, but your price is too high. To be honest, my young master's second uncle is also a businessman. He once brought my young master some southern specialties, including oysters. My young master likes to eat them very much. The oysters you have here are shelled and dried, so I didn't recognize them."

"You said that the price of these things can be increased tenfold if they are shipped to the capital. I don't know if it's true or not, but I know that these things are very cheap in the place of production. Give me a fair price, and I will buy them all for you. You can take the money back to the capital, and I can take the things back to collect the reward. We can each get what we need. What do you think?"
