Chapter 40: It’s a Deal!
When Ji Zhao returned to the county city, her state of mind was different.
This time, she had to keep her eyes and ears open.
After all, the prerequisite for doing business was to learn to survey the market and analyze the market environment.
However, from the current situation, the county city did not lack anything!
There were all kinds of snacks.
“Ah Tao, what’s wrong? Why are you suddenly frowning?” Zhao Lanhua slowed down and looked at Ji Zhao in confusion.
“Mother, actually, I came to the county today to see if there’s any business I can do.” Ji Zhao smiled bitterly and revealed her plan.
“You want to do business?”
“Yes.” Ji Zhao nodded. “With the Ji family’s meager assets, Ji Chen and I will starve to death sooner or later, so I have to make plans early.”
“Come, let’s go to your eldest brother’s shop and ask him.” Zhao Lanhua led her to the Shen family’s pastry shop.
At that moment, Shen Dalang was entertaining guests.
However, after tasting the Shen family’s desserts, the customer shook his head. “It’s too greasy. My old lady likes pastries with a refreshing taste.”
“General Manager Qin, why don’t you try something else?” Shen Dalang anxiously wiped the sweat off his forehead. “The entire Dingyuan County knows that the pastries in our Shen Ji are affordable and delicious. Why don’t you try it again?”
“Boss Shen, it’s not that I’m unwilling to give you face, but your green bean cake is too sweet. I’m afraid my old lady won’t like it!”
“May I ask what kind of pastries your old lady likes?” Ji Zhao walked forward quickly and asked with a smile.
“You are?” General Manager Qin narrowed his eyes and carefully sized up the girl in front of him. His gaze became deeper.
“Third Sister-in-law? Mother? Why are you here?” Only then did Shen Dalang notice his family standing outside the door. He quickly explained, “General Manager Qin, this is my mother, and this is my third sister-in-law.”
“Mother, this is the Qin family’s General Manager.”
The Qin family was the richest family in Dingyuan County. Everyone in Dingyuan County knew about them.
Zhao Lanhua nodded with a benevolent smile. “I heard from my eldest son that the manager of the Qin Residence is very capable. I just didn’t expect him to be so young.”
“You flatter me.” General Manager Qin smiled modestly, but the arrogance in his eyes did not disappear.
“General Manager Qin, can you answer my question just now?” Ji Zhao smiled and said firmly, “Just state your request. Our Shen Ji will definitely think of a way to make Old Madam Qin’s favorite pastries!”
“Boss Shen, your sister-in-law is young, but she’s quite arrogant.” General Manager Qin immediately looked at Ji Zhao with a smile in his eyes.
“Third Sister-in-law.” Shen Dalang quickly gave Ji Zhao a look, then smiled apologetically at Steward Qin. “My third sister-in-law is still young. I hope General Manager Qin can forgive her.”
“General Manager Qin, feel free to ask for anything. I guarantee that Shen Ji will be able to make pastries that suit Old Madam Qin’s taste!” Ji Zhao raised her eyebrows and smiled confidently and firmly.
“Alright!” General Manager Qin was also conquered by her confidence. “In that case, I’ll give the Shen family another day. I’ll try the pastries again at dusk today. If the pastries suit my old lady’s taste, we’ll order the pastries from the Shen family for the next three years from today!”
“It’s a deal!”
“But what if the pastries you make don’t satisfy my old lady? What then?”
“I’m willing to sell myself to the Qin Residence and be a maid for a year!”
“Deal!”
