Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 26: Cooperation is reached at Manjianglou

After thinking for a long time, Gu Yan slowly said, "If it is true as Manager Zhao said, I would like to take over this deal. But Manager Zhao knows that we picked these fruits from the deep mountains and old forests. It can be said that they are God's gift. Moreover, fruits and vegetables are seasonal. I can only guarantee that I can get them during this period of time. It's hard to say after a while."

When Zhao Dawei heard that there was a chance, he nodded repeatedly, "Young Master, you are right. We can discuss this deal. May I know your name?"

Just as Gu Yan was about to answer, there was a knock on the door. It turned out that the waiter came to serve the food.

Gu Qingzhi listened with great interest. If her brother took over the order, he would have a long-term and stable job. But she didn't know how much the Zhao family could take.

She thought about it and realized that the Zhao Mansion seemed to have quite a large population. So probably, the amount needed might be quite large, right?

But after all, the fruits are supplied to the master, and the master will give some to the servants when he is happy. It is hard to say how much the master can ask for. It seems that if I want to sell in large quantities, I still have to find a reliable supplier. After all, my brother still has to study, so how can he have the time to come to the market to sell it every day?

Seeing that all the dishes were served, Zhao Dawei asked the two to eat first and talk after they were done.

The dishes served in the largest restaurant in the county are different. It is said that some of them are signature dishes. Gu Qingzhi tried them and found them quite delicious. However, what is more attractive are the pastries.

She ate less than half a bowl of rice and couldn't eat any more, staring at Gu Yan eagerly.

Gu Yan was both angry and amused. He had no choice but to take her bowl and scoop the remaining rice into his own bowl. He said softly, "Eat it."

Gu Qingzhi exclaimed happily, "Brother is so nice!"

She first picked up the pastry in front of her and put it into Gu Yan's bowl, then said obediently, "Brother, eat too." Then she picked up the pastry in front of her and started eating happily.

There was a hint of surprise in Zhao Dawei's eyes. Seeing that the two people were dressed very differently, he didn't expect that they were actually brother and sister, and they had a good relationship. It seemed that this was a brother who doted on his sister.

Now, Zhao Dawei is more confident about this cooperation.

Intuitively, he felt that the young man in front of him was a reliable person.

If his goods are good, he will accept them, and then the payment will be made, and it will not affect either party.

If it's good, then we will benefit from each other. If it's not good, then we will end the cooperation directly.

He still believes in his own judgment of people.

After some discussion, the two agreed on some matters of cooperation.

It was already late when they walked out of the restaurant, so the brother and sister said goodbye to Manager Zhao.

Gu Yan took Gu Qingzhi for a few turns in the alleys and asked Gu Qingzhi to wait on the side. He went up and knocked on the door of a house.

Not long after, a man in a brown short-sleeved shirt came out. Gu Yan said a few words to the man and then took out some silver from his pocket and handed it to him.

The man took the money and closed the door.

Gu Yan then pulled Gu Qingzhi and hurried to the outside of the city gate, where there were ox carts heading to Sheng Tangli.

Gu Qingzhi asked doubtfully, "Brother, do you know that person just now?"

Gu Yan held Gu Qingzhi's hand tightly for a moment, but returned to normal after a moment, but answered irrelevantly, "I just asked someone to spend 20 cents to buy the news about Manager Zhao."

Ok?

It took Gu Qingzhi a while to realize that her brother had just gone out to buy news.

"Then, brother, where is Manager Zhao?"

Seeing his sister so excited, was his focus off? Gu Yan heaved a sigh of relief.

"He is indeed the manager in charge of purchasing for the Zhao Mansion."

Manager Zhao was in charge of purchasing and often traveled around the county, so many people knew him.

Since it was not a secret, it only cost 20 cents.

Gu Yan also learned from that person that Manager Zhao was a down-to-earth person who was willing to study hard and had good character. He was highly appreciated by the master of the Zhao Mansion. Although he had no background, he climbed from an outer servant to the position of manager of the Zhao Mansion. It can be seen that this person is extremely intelligent.

These are enough. The partner has good character and it seems that this cooperation can continue.

After hearing what happened to Manager Zhao, Gu Qingzhi felt relieved and turned to another question, "Brother, what does that man do? Are you familiar with him?"

Gu Yan sighed, but still couldn't get around this problem.

He explained this place to Gu Qingzhi in detail.

It turns out that this is a place that specializes in selling information, called "Gutongmen". You can buy the information inside with money. There are countless such chain organizations throughout Da Qi.

Gu Qingzhi was surprised. Her brother was so amazing that he even knew about such a place.

In fact, this was the first time that Gu Yan spent money to buy information. He had only heard of such things from his classmates before, but he did not expect to use it today for the sake of a manager of the Zhao Mansion.

After receiving such praise from Gu Qingzhi, Gu Yan's handsome face turned red visibly.

The two men arrived outside the east gate and prepared to take a ox cart back to their hometown.

It costs one penny per person to ride in the ox cart. Normally, Gu Yan would not be willing to do so and would rather walk back by himself. But now that he has a little girl with him and he has made a lot of money today, he decided to be generous and take Gu Qingzhi on the ox cart.

There were already quite a few people sitting on the ox cart, but they were the only two from Sheng Tang. Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not meet anyone from Sheng Tang. Otherwise, if he had brought people up the mountain and ended up in the county town in a blink of an eye, it would have been a disaster if his second aunt knew about it.

Not many people know about that road, but there are people who know about it, but it is too dangerous and few people walk on it. He has walked on it several times, but today he suddenly had an idea and took his sister on that road. Thinking back on it now, he is still terrified.

He had to keep this matter secret, otherwise if Second Aunt found out he would be in big trouble. He had to explain this to Qingqing later.

The ox cart was moving slowly, and Gu Qingzhi fell asleep unknowingly. She leaned her body directly on Gu Yan's shoulder.

Feeling the weight on his shoulder, Gu Yan turned around and found that she had fallen asleep.

Looking at Gu Qingzhi's sleeping face, he smiled helplessly, held her in his arms and helped her adjust to a more comfortable position. He thought that she was tired after a whole day and it was hard for her to hold on until now. Anyway, it would take another hour to reach Sheng Tangli, so he closed his eyes and rested, thinking in his mind.

The result of the discussion with Manager Zhao just now is that we need 50 kilograms of wild grapes and mature wild persimmons tomorrow. The current price is 1 cents per kilogram. If there are other fruits or game, he will also charge them according to the market price. However, this is just the beginning, and it is hard to say whether there will be less of that in a few days.

Gu Yan thought of the two rabbits that Gu Qingzhi had picked up in the morning. They were still in the trap he had set. Fortunately, the trap he had set was very secretive and should be difficult to be discovered.

However, it would be safer to go to the mountain early to catch it tomorrow.
