She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

Shopkeeper Huang originally wanted to put some pressure on the village woman in front of him, hoping to gain an advantage in the subsequent negotiations.

Unexpectedly, he was so shocked by Gu Qingqing's shameless words that his breathing stopped.

He listened attentively to the desk and heard no sound coming from it. Then he said, "You sound quite arrogant."

"So? The shopkeeper invited us mother and daughter up just to say this? If so, I'll accept this. Since there's nothing else, we mother and daughter will take our leave." After saying this, Gu Qingqing pretended to stand up.

On the side, Dahua, who was originally leaning against the stool with her butt, immediately slid down from the stool when she heard that they were going to leave.

cough!

At this moment, there was a light cough from the desk, which seemed to be accidental. The sound was not loud, but it was loud enough for people in the room to hear.

Gu Qingqing was unmoved and was about to leave pulling Dahua.

After receiving the letter, Huang suddenly became enthusiastic and said, "Sit down, the child hasn't had his snack yet, so there's no rush to leave."

Gu Qingqing neither left nor sat down, but just looked at the other person with a smile.

After Huang saw that the mother and daughter were unmoved, he simply said, "Jinji has a business deal to discuss with you. Are you interested?"

Seeing that the other party finally got to the point, Gu Qingqing pressed a big flower and asked her to sit down again, while pointing at the snacks on the table, "Can we give it to the child?"

"Naturally."

Gu Qingqing was not polite and took two pieces of red bean cake from the table and put them in Dahua's hand.

Seeing Dahua looking at her a little reservedly, Gu Qingqing patted her gently and said, "The shopkeeper treated us, please eat."

Dahua then started eating in small bites.

"I wonder what business the shopkeeper wants to discuss with me." Gu Qingqing pretended to listen attentively.

From the moment she entered the room, Gu Qingqing used the attitude of "accelerating negotiations" to take the initiative into her own hands.

When Huang, the shopkeeper, saw her asking, he no longer tried to hide the truth and asked directly, "We at Jinji are very interested in what you make. I wonder how many you can make in a day?"

When Gu Qingqing heard that the other party didn't want to buy her prescription, she felt somewhat disappointed.

Although the recipe is a one-time sale, the mooncakes are only sold for a few days.

Without changing his expression, he looked at Huang the shopkeeper and said word by word, "It depends on the needs of the customers. If the customers need ten, I will make ten. If the customers need one hundred, we will make one hundred. We can make as many as the customers need."

When Shopkeeper Huang heard her speak in such a loud tone, he wanted to reply, "Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?", but after thinking it over he gave up.

If this person gets up and leaves again, the negotiations will simply not be able to proceed.

"Three hundred per day, all made for Jinji, using Jinji's molds, the price is twenty-five per piece. At the same time, we hope that there will be no more five-nut mooncakes in the market."

Gu Qingqing chuckled, "The shopkeeper is a good business man. I can sell one for thirty coins on the street, and I have already sold it. But now I want to sell it to you for twenty-five. This price is not right."

“How many can the street consume in a day? If you are lucky, you can sell 300 a day. If you are unlucky, if you can’t sell 300, then you will have a lot of money stuck in your hands. Instead of keeping the uncertainties in your hands, you might as well hand them over to Jinji. Jinji will settle the bill with you in cash, so you don’t have to bear the risk.” Shopkeeper Huang is an old man in the town and naturally knows all the ins and outs of the business.

Gu Qingqing was also clear about this. Mooncakes were not like Shaobai, which had a market and price. Mooncakes were not only sold by Jinji, but also by other small stores, but they could not outsell Jinji.

"The shopkeeper just said that he hopes that there will be no more five-nut mooncakes in the market in the near future. If that's the case, he wants to monopolize the market before the Moon Worship Festival. A monopoly requires a monopoly price, and each one must be at least thirty coins. If the shopkeeper has no intention of monopolizing the market, then we can naturally sell them normally while meeting your needs. However, when everyone knows that the mooncakes we sell have the same flavor as Jinji, I think it will not be good for Jinji's reputation."

After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she smiled at the shopkeeper, and then as if she had thought of something, she suddenly said, "Of course, I am a village woman with little experience. If what I said is wrong, please don't laugh at me, shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Huang waited for a few moments, but didn't hear any sound coming from the study. He continued, "Twenty-eight cents a piece, no more."

"The shopkeeper has spoken. Let's make a concession and give him 29 cents a pop."

Although she didn't know why Jinji insisted on her mooncakes, mooncakes were only eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the festival, fewer people would buy them. She could only make money during these two days. If she didn't take the opportunity to make money, what was she waiting for?

......

When Gu Qingqing came out of Jinji, she had three taels of silver in her arms, Jinji's molds in a bamboo basket, and cakes on the table on the second floor.

If these pastries were purchased on the first floor, it would cost at least seventy or eighty cents. Since the other party was so "hospitable", Gu Qingqing shamelessly packed up all of them and took them away.

Gu Qingqing held Dahua's hand and said excitedly, "Dahua, we have received the order. We will be busy when we return. Are you afraid?"

"Mom, why should I be afraid? I will do whatever you tell me to do when I get back." Dahua asked in confusion.

Gu Qingqing laughed and said to Dahua mysteriously while walking, "Do you know how many melon seeds we have to peel when we get back?"

Dahua looked at Gu Qingqing with confused eyes, then shook her head.

"You'll know when we get back. Let's go shopping."

After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she first took Dahua to buy the ingredients needed to make tomorrow's mooncakes, including various melon seeds, sugar, and lard. She also bought a large flat-bottomed pot and this time bought thirty kilograms of white flour.

After buying this meal, only one tael and five hundred coins were left out of the three taels of silver.

After buying everything they needed, Gu Qingqing hurried back with Dahua.

The old ox cart saw that it was already noon, and at this moment only Gu Qingqing and her daughter wanted to take the cart, so they decided to wait a while before going back.

Seeing this, Gu Qingqing had no choice but to carry the pot back by herself.

"You can put the pot on my cart and I will bring it back to you after dark." said the old ox cart.

Gu Qingqing shook her head and refused, mainly because she wanted to start doing it as soon as possible when she got back!

When Gu Qingqing arrived home at noon with a frying pan on her head, it was already past noon!

Wen Wuyan hurriedly came over with a bamboo pole, reached out to take the pot on her head, and held it with one hand, "Why did you go to town and buy another pot?"

Gu Qingqing handed the pot to Wen Wuyan with her front hand, and then overturned the big black dog that was running over to bite the upper of her shoes with her back foot.

Before Gu Qingqing could speak, Dahua, who was the happiest, started shouting, "Dad, Mom took me to Jinji today, and we went up to their second floor. It was so beautiful there, and they treated us to some snacks. In the end, Mom even brought back all the snacks and said she would give them to us."

Good boy, Dahua did get the point across, but this point was different from what Gu Qingqing thought.
