Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"Okay, Tiezhu, Zhang Yun, take the samples. Let's go over and take a look. Dad, you wait here." Yu Congcong said.

The three of them walked towards the grocery store with a little nervousness and expectation. When they approached, they could clearly see the owner was busy counting the goods in front of the full shelves. He was counting the specific quantity of each item very carefully, and sighed deeply from time to time. His expression and posture showed that he was worried because there was no stable and sufficient supply of goods.

"Boss, do you accept the delivery?" Yu Congcong clenched his fists tightly, trying to calm himself down, then took a deep breath, straightened his chest, mustered up his courage, and asked loudly and clearly.

"Buy it, what goods do you have?" After hearing the voice, the boss slowly turned around, still with a kind smile like the warm sun on his face, and asked in an especially friendly tone.

This is a boss who makes people feel extremely kind at first glance. He is wearing a plain and elegant robe without any dust. The robe fits his slender and tall figure perfectly. However, if you look closely, you can vaguely detect a sense of thinness in his figure that is not easy to detect. On his face, which is as white as flawless jade, his facial features are just right, and every line seems so soft. The strong bookish air blows slowly like a warm spring breeze. The slightly upturned corners of his mouth always seem to naturally carry a kind smile that makes people feel warm and friendly like a spring breeze. His hair is combed neatly and not a strand of it is messy. Every strand of hair seems to reveal order and organization, and his bright eyes reveal sincerity and wisdom without any concealment, as if he can see through the appearance and see the essence hidden behind everything.

When Yu Congcong first saw this person, she immediately liked his face, and the slight nervousness in her heart instantly dissipated a lot. So, she said crisply and clearly: "There are chili sauce, dried vegetables, and soy sauce."

"There's also soy sauce. Come on, bring it all over to me." When the boss heard there was soy sauce, a hint of anxiety and surprise flashed in his eyes. The expression on his face became more lively, and he urged anxiously.

"Tiezhu, let the boss see the samples first." Yu Congcong hurriedly called Tiezhu to show the boss the chili sauce, soy sauce and dried vegetables he brought. Tiezhu gently opened the basket in his hand, which contained several bamboo tubes and a handful of dried eggplants. The boss first walked up to pick up one of the bamboo tubes, opened the lid and took a look, and said, "It's soy sauce. The color looks good and the smell is good. Let me try it." Then he turned and walked towards the backyard, and soon came back with a small spoon. Seeing this, Yu Congcong said in annoyance, "Oh, sorry, I forgot to bring the spoon."

"It's okay. I live in the backyard. I have all the kitchen utensils." The boss said gently. After that, he scooped some soy sauce into his mouth with a spoon and tasted it carefully. At this time, Yu Congcong and the other two were closely watching the boss's every move. The boss nodded and said, "It's okay, but the brewing time is a little short. Let's take a look at the chili sauce." The boss opened the bamboo tube containing the chili sauce and scooped a little to taste it. "Well, this is delicious, this will definitely sell well. How about this, I give you 20 per catty?" Yu Congcong thought about it for a while. A jar of this chili sauce weighs about two catties, so a jar can be sold for 40, which is much more expensive than the pickled eggplant. A jar of pickled eggplant weighs at least ten catties. So she nodded in agreement.

After seeing Yu Congcong nod, the boss continued, "This soy sauce is a precious thing. Our county has been out of stock for a year. In the past, most of it was transported from the neighboring merchants, but in the past two years, no merchants have transported soy sauce. Although your soy sauce is a little short of time, there is no choice now. It used to sell for about 60 yuan per catty, but now I really don’t know how much it is appropriate to sell. You bid." The boss told Yu Congcong the actual situation truthfully, and asked Yu Congcong to bid so readily, which made Yu Congcong a little entangled. She thought to herself that if the soy sauce was easy to sell, she would like to bring the villagers to do it together. After all, the village was too poor, and she really wanted the villagers to live a better life. But if there are few people who eat soy sauce, the amount needed will be small, and the villagers will not make much money.

"Boss, I want to lower the price of soy sauce so that more people can afford it. Could you please not set the price too high? I promise to provide you with sufficient supply." Yu Congcong said in a tentative tone.

"Young girl, you are so righteous. I, Yuan Xin, feel inferior to you. Well, you give me a certain price and I will earn 10 yuan in venue fees. Do you think this is okay?" the boss said sincerely.

"Okay, then I'll give you 40 per pound of soy sauce." Yu Congcong responded happily.

"Okay, okay, then you have to ensure sufficient supply. Your dried eggplants really can't be sold at a high price." The boss looked at the dried eggplants again and said.

"It's okay, just give it to me as you see fit. I only brought more than ten kilograms, so I'm just trying the waters first." Yu Congcong said indifferently.

"Then let's give it 10 per pound!" The boss didn't bargain and directly gave a market price.

"Okay." Yu Congcong agreed readily. Then she turned around and asked Tiezhu to ask her father to drive the mule cart over.

Yu Dazhuang quickly drove the mule cart over, and then moved down the items the boss needed one by one. Afterwards, under the joint witness of both parties, the process of weighing and paying was completed, and the deal was successfully concluded.

After the deal was concluded, the boss showed a satisfied smile on his face. He enthusiastically pulled Yu Congcong and said, "Little girl, my name is Yuan Xing. We want to cooperate for a long time, so we have to leave our contact information." Yu Congcong's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she quickly said, "Yes, it's just that my home is a little far away, and it's inconvenient for you to find me. Look, I'll leave you the address. If you have something urgent, just go to the address and find me. We'll make an appointment for delivery! We'll deliver it on time." The boss nodded with a smile, and then said, "In the future, if you have any other good goods, you can send them to me. We can discuss the price. As long as the quality is up to standard, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. And we can also discuss together how to make the business bigger and better. I have some experience and connections in this area, and I believe that our cooperation will be mutually beneficial and win-win."
