Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

Chapter 41: A Can of Braised Pork Fills the House with Fragrance

Li Changle and his companions were taken to a private room in the front hall, where the waiter served them tea and cakes.

Although Guihua coveted the plate of osmanthus-sprinkled cakes, she did not dare to embarrass Li Changle, so she just sat there stiffly and pretended to be polite.

And Liping began to discuss some details in detail.

such as……

"Sister-in-law, can these vegetables continue to supply our store?"

"Besides these, are there any others?"

Li Changle was confirming something with the system at this time, "System, does the task address I set up myself count? Or does the system have to dictate which piece of land to plant?"

System: "Host, as long as you have a vacant house, the system will automatically define it as the mission address."

"Then I will go back and fence off the empty space next to the courtyard wall opposite the kitchen and cover it with a thatched roof."

The area there is more than just 10 square meters.

System: "Host Intelligence".

After Li Changle confirmed this matter, he no longer felt any burden about continuing to supply these vegetables.

"Boss, these vegetables can be supplied continuously today, but they have to be supplied every two days, and we can't supply them any faster.

Also, can the shopkeeper pick up the goods himself? Uh... that is, pick up the goods at your door."

Li Ping: "That's no problem, sister-in-law, just leave your address and I'll send someone to pick up the goods." Since he wanted to ask someone for help, this was a small favor that they could agree to.

For Li Changle, this was really a big deal. After all, going to the county was very tiring, and it took more than an hour to ride in a ox cart.

As he was talking, the waiter came in with a tray.

There were three plates on the tray: one plate of garlic cucumber, one plate of fried potato slices with pork belly, and one plate of braised pork leg.

Li Ping set his eyes on the pork leg at first sight.

Not only him, but also in the front hall outside the private room, many customers who stayed overnight in the restaurant were having breakfast and could smell the aroma of pork leg.

The voices calling for the waiter came one after another.

Li Ping put down the wooden chopsticks in his hand, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, went over his words in his mind, and then began to speak.

"Sister-in-law..."

"The shopkeeper can call me Madam Li. Everyone calls me that."

Li Ping smiled and said, "My last name is also Li, nice to meet you."

"Madam Li, please tell me the price. I know it's not cheap, but Madam Li is not the kind of person who asks for an exorbitant price."

Knowing it wasn’t cheap, she then proceeded to do what she wanted.

She was not idle on the way to the county. She learned from Guihua about the prices of common vegetables in the Dayan Dynasty. Most of them were two to three cents per pound. After all, when the year was good, not many people bought vegetables to eat, so the price could not go up.

"Shopkeeper Li, you have seen my vegetables. They are of high quality and delicious. It is impossible to charge the same price as ordinary vegetables. Besides, no one else can produce vegetables of such good quality except me."

"How about this? I will sell the vegetables I sent you today at 5 cents per pound. I will keep the same price in the future. How about that?"

It's very conscientious. The price is only raised by 2 cents per catty compared to the previous price. She wanted to sell it at , or cents per catty.

One pound of it can be used to make two dishes. As for the price set by the restaurant, it must be more than double the price. Nothing in a famous restaurant is cheap.

Li Ping considered it for a moment and then agreed to the price. It was 2 cents lower than what he had estimated in his mind, so why should he hesitate?

"Okay, 5 cents a pound."

Li Changle thought the other party would have to bargain for some time, but he didn't expect it to be finalized so quickly.

"Shopkeeper Li, did I sell the vegetables too cheaply?"

Li Ping laughed, "Madam Li, you are joking. I am a businessman, and I am naturally happy if I can negotiate a good price. But what you sent today is something that our store is in short supply, which makes me even happier. Haha."

Li Ping's expression was too obvious. He looked as if he had gotten a great bargain today, and his eyes were almost smiling.

Li Changle gritted his teeth and started to make another calculation.

Li Ping decided to quit while he was ahead. He glanced at the remaining braised pork leg on the table and thought to himself that he almost forgot about this.

"Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper!"

The waiter outside the private room came over to look for someone, and his tone sounded quite anxious.

Li Ping had no choice but to get up, open the door and ask. The waiter didn't know what the situation in the private room was, so he just told the shopkeeper the truth.

"Boss, that jar of meat in the kitchen is causing trouble!"

"What?" Li Ping's heart skipped a beat and he asked hurriedly what was going on.

"The guests in the front hall smelled the meat and were clamoring for the food to be served."

Li Ping saw the waiter's long bitter face and laughed angrily, "People have ordered the dishes, why don't you serve them? This meat dish has not been priced yet, and the meat in the can is quite big. Cut a small plate for each guest in the hall and say that it is a new dish and free to try."

The waiter was speechless when he heard this: "Boss, I'm afraid the guests in the front hall can't eat that pot of meat."

Liping: "What?"

Waiter: "The smell is so strong that it wafts far away. The servants from Mr. Chen's and Mr. Li's families in the back alley are still gathered in the kitchen, refusing to give in."

Liping: "..."

"Shopkeeper! The distinguished guest on the second floor is also in the front hall..."

Liping: "!!!"

Li Ping's eyelids jumped, and he didn't care about Li Changle and the others in the private room. He turned around to inform them and walked out the door, while angrily scolding the waiter:

"Put aside all the names of Mr. Chen and Mr. Li, and quickly serve some to the distinguished guests on the second floor! If I offend this person, I, your shopkeeper, will be in big trouble!"

Wang Dahu and Guihua and his wife had been acting as a background for him, keeping silent, and only now did they relax.

"Madam Li, these vegetables are not expensive at 7 cents per pound. Nowadays, water radishes are sold at 4 cents per pound outside, and the quality is not as good as what you brought."

"It's okay. Give the shopkeeper a little sweetness. Just think of it as a lesson. You can earn it back later."

"Then let's..."

"Wait, then."

Li Changle took a sip of the tea and pushed the snacks towards her. "Eat something to fill your stomach. I'll have to trouble you to go shopping with me later."

Guihua and the other two all knew what the phrase “just wait and see” meant. Shopkeeper Li was determined to do the pork leg business.

The words about tasting the food have all been said.

-

This wait lasted for about an hour.

When Li Ping returned to the private room again, the anger and frustration were no longer on his face. Instead, he looked determined to win.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." He bowed to apologize, then turned to Li Changle and said solemnly:

"Madam Li, I'm afraid you'll have to leave the canned meat business at the Wan Family Restaurant."

Li Changle was laughing in his heart, but he didn't want to be too proud of himself. He just put on the expression of a curious baby:

"How can Shopkeeper Li say such things? It's scary."

Li Ping smiled bitterly, "Madam Li, let's not beat around the bush. Can you sell the cooking method and seasoning recipe of this pot of meat to my Wanjia Restaurant?"

He sighed secretly, today's trip was more than just a heavy bleeding.
