EBE Chapter 385: All Together
Chapter 385: All Together
"Dad, I believe you!"
"This girl..."
Song Feng went out happily and first went to Aqing's house, which was the farthest from his home. He gave a general account of Zuixianju and emphasized that Aning's senior sister was planning to do chili business, and everyone should pay attention and try to make the deal.
In fact, everyone had already guessed that Zuixianju had been silent for so long. Fortunately, Aning's sister had arrived, and they had to perform well and work hard to win this business.
There are no secrets in the village. Before long, many people knew about Zuixianju.
Although they were angry, they knew that the most important thing right now was to capture Aning's sister. With Mr. Pan around, the incident at Zuixianju was unlikely to happen. Compared to that, it was much more reliable.
Many people went out of their homes and gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"We can't let Aning handle this alone.
Everyone got to work cleaning up the pepper and eggplant fields. It was so relaxing just to watch them.
“Yes, that lady spoke softly, but she didn’t expect to have such great abilities.
The people on the boat haven't eaten yet. Let's talk to Aunt Qi and make some food to send over.
Children, please dress neatly too. Don’t let people see our villagers looking dirty, or else Aning will be looked down upon.”
They discussed the matter one after another and thought it through very carefully. Finally, they found the village head and listened to his instructions. Everyone did their job and the whole village joined in the work, and was very busy.
Song Feng hadn't come back yet, and Song Anning didn't know about this. She was in the vegetable garden in the backyard with Bai Zhi, introducing different kinds of peppers to her.
Baizhi was not pretentious at all. She squatted in the ditch, picked a chili pepper, rubbed it on her clothes, and took a big bite in a very heroic manner.
"Shashasha, this is spicy! It can be used as a side dish."
"Green peppers are still the best, crispy and sweet."
Song An Ning looked at the woman in front of her who didn't care about her image at all, and began to doubt what Old Man Pan had said before.
From a big family?
The head of the family?
Dominating the business world in the south?
After thinking about it carefully, she began to understand that people like her senior sister were the ones with real abilities.
From her recent conversation with her family, it was clear that she was knowledgeable about everything from astronomy to geography, and could navigate the business world with ease, easily negotiating deals worth tens or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. She also understood the hardships of the lower classes, the hardships of planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, and the daily grind of family life...
Just as she was lost in thought, Xiangxiang suddenly laughed out loud.
"Haha, these villagers are so cute!
Master, you haven't seen it. I heard that Zuixianju doesn't accept chili peppers, so your senior sister came here to discuss business.
The whole village is busy! Some are cooking, some are cleaning the yard, and some are weeding the fields, preparing to show you the best of Half Moon Village.
Hahaha, Grandpa Lin’s family washed the dog and the whole family changed into new clothes…”
After hearing this, Song Anning felt warm in her heart.
She knew it would be like this. These villagers were becoming more and more united, especially when faced with major events, no one was a drag. A village like this was worth her attention.
In the backyard vegetable garden, every time Bai Zhi tasted a bite, Song An Ning explained it to her and also told her how to cook different peppers. Bai Zhi nodded in praise and asked again:
"Aning, what was the price Zuixianju gave you before?"
Song An Ning told the truth, not a penny was wrong, but Bai Zhi was so angry that she almost cursed Zuixianju.
"This is the price for these unscrupulous people?
You silly girl, there are many rich people in several southern states, and a preserved egg costs three or four hundred coins.
Even if the price dropped later, it was still more than 150 wen.
I'll only give you twelve cents, less than one-tenth. This way of making money will eventually pay off, and sooner or later, God will take it away."
Song An Ning smiled secretly in her heart and fully agreed with her senior sister's words.
Anyway, Su Chen's money is lying in his backpack, so it can be regarded as his retribution, hehe...
"Don't worry, Senior Sister, I'm still thinking about this.
Zuixianju also has these things now. Even if we sell them, the price cannot be too high, for fear that they will lower the price.
There is only one way to crack this problem, and that is to continuously develop new products. For the same price, Zuixianju only has a few dishes, while we have hundreds of variations, with different recipes for spring, summer, autumn and winter. Let's see what they can compare with!"
"Xiao Aning, what you said really resonates with me!
I definitely can't compare to your knowledge of chili peppers. Everyone has their own expertise.
You want the recipe, and I'll find a way to sell it. After deducting the cost, we'll split the profit 30% to 70%. How about that?"
"Senior sister is so nice to me. I can get 70% just by thinking of a recipe!"
Song Anning said this deliberately to tease her.
Bai Zhi also knew what Song An Ning meant and laughed out loud.
"It's 30-70. After deducting the cost and labor, the money left to you and me is about the same.
Ah Ning thanks Senior Sister for not having to worry about anything and for even giving me some money! Hehe..."
"Including you, I only have four junior sisters, all of whom are good girls. If I don't treat you well, who else should I treat well?
Silly...
But Aning, remember, no one will be nice to you for no reason. Unless you are valuable and have real abilities, people will look up to you.
I won’t say much about these things. The fact that you can lead the whole village to live a good life is enough to prove your ability.
Let's work together. You can focus on growing peppers and thinking of recipes, and I'll take care of the rest.
Let’s make money together, sisters.”
"Thank you for your teachings, Senior Sister. Ning will keep them in mind."
Song An Ning bowed again, Bai Zhi stepped forward to help her up, and the aroma of food wafted from the front yard.
“Please, Senior Sister, try the dish made with eggplant and peppers.
Zuixianju doesn’t have that.”
"Hahaha, come on, take Senior Sister to see the world."
The two chatted and laughed, and came to the front yard, where they saw the Song family's yard full of people, holding food boxes in their hands, not saying a word, waiting patiently.
Seeing so many people coming, Bai Zhi turned to look at Song An Ning and asked in confusion:
"Aning, this is..."
