Chapter 87 A small profit

With the appearance of Ding Xiang, a person who seemed unfriendly to his family, Mei Berry felt that he needed to remind his family.

After all, he was a smart person recognized by the system, but she didn't like the way he admitted it.

However, Wei Meili and Mei Youqian didn't pay much attention to Lilac.

“Our family is not rich in gold and silver, how can we make everyone like it?

Anyway, the people in the old house hate us so much that it doesn't matter if we have another one.

However, if these people really want to target our family, they have to consider whether they can bear it.

Just like we tormented Lao Mei’s family, we tormented their family.”

Taking the path of the best leaves the best with nowhere to go.

Everyone, you don’t want to offend a top guy?

After talking about Lilac's affairs under the oil lamp, Mei's father took the charcoal from home and continued to write down on paper the things he needed to buy when he went out on the street tomorrow.

Meiberry wanted to be more cautious, but she saw her father scratching his head and ears and saying with an irritated face: "Oh! It's really difficult to write this thing in traditional Chinese!"

The Meiberry family also studied the "Thousand-Character Classic" they bought last time seriously, but the facts tell them that simplified Chinese characters are good!

It's just that if their family keeps using simplified Chinese characters, it will always arouse suspicion.

Mayberry made a further request that the whole family learn Traditional Chinese characters, that is, write Traditional Chinese characters if they can.

And this is really fatal for Mei Youqian and Wei Meili.

I can't remember it, it's ugly, and I have to wonder whether I recognize it after I write it.

"Then you should write less~" Mei Berry didn't take it seriously, but she became curious and stretched out her head to take another look.

Mayberry: "...Forget it, I'll do it."

Meiberry took the carbon rod and wrote, her father looked at it, and her mother reported it.

The last things to buy are as long as a menu.

Seeing this, Mei Berry did some calculations in her mind and couldn't help but said: "Even if the system gave a lot of money before, our family can only go in and out now, so we should take it easy. There will be many places that will need money in the future~"

"Yeah, I know. You go to the town for more shopping tomorrow. We need to finalize the location of our tea stall as soon as possible."

Seeing that Mei Mei was already worried about the money, Wei Meili and Mei Youqian warned her again: "You don't have to come back in a hurry. You must observe more clearly after you finally go there."

"knew."

After Wei Meili said this, she stared at Mei Bei for a while. Mei Bei felt her mother's gaze, raised her head and looked over and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Well, we have so much glutinous rice at home, you take out some first. I will wrap the bamboo shoots in leaves and cook the glutinous rice in the evening. I will wrap some in the morning..."

"You've been making rice dumplings in the past two days?" Mei Berry was a little surprised when she realized what her mother was going to do. "Isn't it too early?"

"Why are you so early? I've been busy these past two days and I feel it's a bit late. The quality of the glutinous rice produced by the system is so good that I wouldn't want to sell it directly.

But if you eat it at home, glutinous rice is difficult for the stomach to digest and absorb and it takes a long time to eat it slowly. It is better to make rice dumplings and sell some during the Dragon Boat Festival.

The quality of our glutinous rice is directly placed on a roadside stall to compete with ordinary rice dumplings, which is a bit of a disadvantage. Even if our quality is good, ordinary people will not be happy to spend too much money to buy it.

You can take a few of them with you tomorrow and then ask restaurants or shops if they can collect better quality rice dumplings."

"Well, tomorrow I will take Bei Bao to ask. If you are interested, you can bring some rice dumplings for them to try."

"It's a pity that time is short, so I can only make some candied dates and red bean rice dumplings."

"It doesn't matter, we just want to show them the quality."

Mei Youqian understood what his wife meant, so the next day Mei Mei and her father bought everything in the town and started looking for a market for the family's rice dumplings.

It's a pity that all the restaurants in the town rejected their family, and Mei Bei and the others didn't even have a chance to make rice dumplings.

"Alas~"

After leaving the restaurant, Meiberry sighed in frustration. Mei Youqian patted Meiberry's drooped little head and said confidently: "It's okay, there's more!"

"besides?"

Only when her father took her directly to the grocery store where they sold mushrooms before, Mei Mei realized that her father had set his sights on Lin Shoucai again.

Before entering the store, Mei Youqian asked Mei Berry to take out five kilograms of dried mushrooms from the space.

Sure enough, when he saw Mei Berry and his daughter, and the dried mushrooms they were carrying, Lin Shoucai immediately came over with a smile.

"Brother Mei, the river has been opened recently."

What Lin Shoucai said was that the mushrooms this time were not as expensive as last time, but looking at the way he peeked at the mushrooms he was holding in his hand from time to time, Mei Youqian did not expose him.

That little thought.

"Of course we know this, we know what price it can be sold for, and we eat a lot at home~"

When Mei Berry saw her father pretending to be naive and talking about eating a lot of mushrooms, the smile on Lin Shoucai's round face suddenly froze.

Ugh~

Isn't this a sign of distress?

Mayberry secretly suppressed a smile.

"By the way, boss, I would like to ask, does your family sell rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"What? Brother Mei, your family has changed to selling rice dumplings?"

When Lin Shoucai saw Mei Youqian nodding, he was about to shake his head and refuse when he heard the other party say again: "The pearl glutinous rice our family harvested last year is of excellent quality. We are reluctant to eat it ourselves. If we sell it, the quantity is not large, and the unit price is not included.

Low.

It just so happens that my wife’s family tradition of making rice dumplings tastes really good, so our family thought we might as well make them into rice dumplings and sell them...

But you don’t have to doubt it, if you are interested, you can try what we made this morning first.”

With that said, Mei Youqian asked Mei Bei to take out two rice dumplings and peel them open.

"This rice dumpling leaf doesn't look like a reed..."

Lin Shoucai was curious when he saw the beige rice dumpling leaves at a glance.

"The leaf shell outside the spring bamboo shoots."

"Oh~ that's okay too?"

"Yes, tougher than reed leaves."

It seemed that this was the first time he discovered such leaves. Lin Shoucai was even more curious about this rice dumpling.

However, this curiosity only lasted until Mei Pei peeled off the rice dumplings to reveal the crystal clear, round and plump rice dumplings inside. The other party's entire mind came to the rice dumplings inside.

There was no need to wait for Meiberry to be handed over, she took it directly and sniffed it gently, with a look of surprise and fascination in her eyes.

"Oh my god, this rice smells so good~ and the glutinous rice is peeled off so completely..."

Before eating, Lin Shoucai was ready to make a decision.

"How many are there in your family?"

After taking a bite, Lin Shoucai was even more willing to do this business!

Soft, glutinous and sweet, with solid ingredients, great!

"Up to 200 rice dumplings can be made with lean meat filling, mushroom meat filling, dried bamboo shoot meat filling, bean paste filling, candied date and red bean filling, and white rice dumplings."

"Just 200 pieces, 40 pieces each except white rice dumplings! They will be ready and delivered the day before the Dragon Boat Festival."

After Lin Shoucai finished speaking, he still felt a little regretful and asked, "Isn't there more?"

"No more." Mei Youqian shook his head. Their family would be very tired from wrapping up these 200!

Once the quantity has been determined, the next step is the time for price negotiation.

But this time, what Meiberry and his father didn't expect was that Lin Shoucai didn't bargain!

Is this still the Boss Lin they know so well?!

In addition to requiring the quality to be the same as today's package, he finally chose if the rice dumpling leaves were made with reeds, because reed leaves are more fragrant.

Of course, this kind of bamboo shoot leaves can also be used, and there is no harm in eating them fresh.

Lin Shoucai had no other requirements.

In response to his cheerfulness, Mei Youqian once suspected that the price he quoted for 200 rice dumplings was 4 taels, which was too low.

Originally, he planned to ask for a high price, and then wait for this guy to sit down and pay back the money. Whoever thought he dared to repay, the other party dared to respond.

They also directly gave them a 30% deposit and signed the deed, which made them feel completely at ease.

After leaving the house, Meiberry felt even more uneasy when she heard the news!

"How does he make money? The goods arrive a day early and cost an average of 50 cents each, which is more than ten times the price of ordinary rice dumplings!"

Mayberry was confused.

Her father was equally confused.
