Transmigration: To Be His Man-Chapter 85 Selling Formula
Qin Mian intentionally reminded Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee to think of a way to eat a few more dishes. He would not let his relatives into the restaurant, so he could only use this method to pull Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee. As for whether or not they would tell the Madam Du, it didn't matter.
The building of the restaurant required someone in charge of buying the building materials, someone in charge of guarding the materials, someone in charge of supervising the workers, someone in charge of taking care of the workers' food ?? It's definitely a big project. Qin Mian calculated which people in the village he could use and made a list. There were 30 of them, and their jobs would be distributed according to each person's ability and level. Zhao Wenzhong knew how to write, and he had done business for almost a decade. Qin Mian had even specially invited him to be an accountant, and was only responsible for spending money everyday. The worker in charge of construction was a professional craftsman hired by Lei Tia from a county.
The project is urgent and must be completed before the wheat is harvested. There will be a serious shortage of manpower when the time comes.
After all the work was arranged, Qin Mian and Lei Tia were only in charge of supervising the work. As they watched the silver coins in their hands decrease day by day while the restaurant changed bit by bit, both of them were very satisfied. Even though they were very tired every day, they still felt that it was worth it.
On the road from the Zhaoyang County to the Flowing Water Town, a luxurious carriage was moving steadily, getting closer and closer to the Flowing Water Town.
As he approached the entrance of the town, he opened the curtain with one hand. The owner of the hand took a casual glance outside and swept his gaze across the bustling construction site. He was about to look away when he suddenly saw two familiar figures.
He quickly instructed the driver, "Chunsheng, bring the carriage directly to the construction site."
"Yes, young master." Although Chun Sheng agreed, he didn't know what was going on. He inadvertently saw the two people talking to each other by the side of the construction site, and understood what was going on.
"The heavens are beautiful," Qin Mian said to Lei Tia with a smile that was full of joy, "There hasn't been any rain these past few days, otherwise the process would have been hindered."
Lei Tia held onto his hand, "There's also no need to rush. Even if we drag them to the farm, we can get them. It would just be spending more money. "
Qin Mian snorted, "You are just standing and not saying anything, if you do not take charge, you will not know how expensive firewood is!"
Lei Tia passed over the bamboo cup that was hanging on his arm to him, inside was Chinese cabbage and silver ear soup, "Un, my wife has worked hard."
Qin Mian pinched his ears, which were burning hot, and took the cup.
Nie Heng alighted the horse carriage and looked at the white brocade boots on his feet. He hesitated for a moment, but still walked over, and carefully avoided the bricks and sand on the ground, standing in front of Qin Mian and Lei Tia. He smiled and clasped his hands, "Boss Qin, Boss Lei, how have you been?"
Qin Mian wiped the soup on the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and sized up the noble young master in front of him suspiciously. He was sure that he did not recognize him.
Qin Mian felt a little awkward, but his face did not reveal a single clue, and politely asked: "May I ask who you are?"
Nie Heng had no choice but to introduce himself again, "This one is Nie Heng, last year I mentioned to Boss Qin that I wanted to buy the Incense Food Shop formula."
Qin Mian suddenly remembered, he handed the bamboo cup to Lei Tia and cupped his hands: "So it's Young Master Nie, sorry for the disrespect."
Lei Tia nodded.
"Boss Qin and Boss Lei are people who forget things too much." Nie Heng smiled lightly, "I remember Boss Qin saying that he has the intention to sell the formula after the new year. This matter is still the reason why I came here today. I wonder if Boss Qin and Boss Lei will have the time to discuss it in detail? "
Qin Mian walked to the side quietly, "Young Master Nie, we are discussing over here."
"This ??" I looked at the noisy environment.
Qin Mian went straight to the point, "There's nothing much to discuss about this matter, I'll just go straight to the point. There are eighteen ingredients in our house, and I intend to sell sixteen of them. If Young Master Nie is interested, give me five hundred silver, I will immediately write the formula for you. "
Nie Heng was startled, he had thought that he would need to spend a lot of effort to convince the other party to sell the formula.
"Why are there only sixteen?"
"The seventeenth ingredient is very hard to find. Even if I told you, you wouldn't know what it is." Qin Mian said.
Nie Heng did not believe him, "Oh? May I ask what it is? " 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m
Qin Mian said straightforwardly, "Pickled peppers, a kind of black fruit."
Nie Heng had never heard of it before, hence he believed that Yue Yang did not lie on purpose.
Qin Mian continued: "To be honest, Young Master Nie, next year we plan to plant this ingredient on a large scale. I can see that Young Master Nie is an outstanding merchant, if there's ever anything we need in the future, we would be happy to cooperate with him. "
Nie Heng looked at him strangely. He had really underestimated this youth. While discussing business with him, she did not forget to bring in another business.
Instead of expressing his stance immediately, he asked again, "So, the eighteenth ingredient?"
Qin Mian said indifferently: "The eighteenth ingredient is our family's exclusive secret recipe, it's not for sale. We also want to survive, but we can't just cut off our own path of retreat. " It was impossible to hide this from smart people. They would definitely be able to taste the difference between dishes with and without Spirit Spring Water s.
"Since these two ingredients are so rare, I believe that without these two ingredients, the flavour of the seasoning would be far different from that of your eatery." Nie Heng was indeed a businessman, hitting the nail on the head.
Qin Mian remained calm and shook his head: "Young Master Nie's words are wrong. If that's really the case, then why use so many different ingredients for the soup ingredients at our eatery?
What Qin Mian said was also reasonable. For a moment, Nie Heng had nothing to say, and could only mutter to himself.
Qin Mian did not rush him, "Recently, there have been people who were unable to hold back and look for trouble at the restaurant. We are weak in our own right now, and we are too much of a nuisance to continue holding onto the seasoning. Once the restaurant is built, we will release the news that we want to sell the formula. Anyone who wanted to buy it would only need to spend five hundred silver. Twenty servings. Young Master Nie can think about it carefully. You must know, the later you buy, the fewer advantages you have. "
Nie Heng's face slightly changed, and frowned: "Is Boss Qin acting inappropriately? I thought you said five hundred silver was only for the next person. If everyone has this formula, then what's the difference between having it and not having it? "
Qin Mian retorted, "Does Young Master Nie know how much our little restaurant earns every month? No less than two hundred silver. Young Master Nie did not seem like a person with a small business. As far as I know, the big restaurants in the county would make at least a thousand taels of silver a month. Even if Young Master Nie only made a profit of one month after buying the formula, he could still earn five thousand gold. Could it be that these five hundred liang of silver was not worth it? Young Master Nie slowly considered, not in a rush. We still have things to do, so we'll be leaving first.
After he finished speaking, he and Lei Tia left together.
Nie Heng looked at their figures with a dark expression. As an evil merchant, he could not help but call them "evil merchants" in his heart.
"Young master, they are bullying us too much!" Chun Sheng could not help but ask.
Nie Heng shook his head. Actually, it was worth it to pay five hundred liang for the formula. The reason was not just because of what the Little Boss had said. That Little Boss is very smart, he could see, maybe even that Little Boss could see. It was hard to bargain with him.
"Spring Festival."
Chun Sheng sighed silently and quickly ran towards Qin Mian. This was the first time he saw his young master at a disadvantage when discussing business.
"Forget it, I'll just treat it as making a friend." Nie Heng murmured to himself, also trying to console himself. His expression returned to normal as he watched Qin Mian and Lei Tia walk over.
The Young Master Nie indicated for Spring Life to give Qin Mian five hundred silver, and said as if he was pointing it out: "I only hope that your restaurant's progress can be slower."
Qin Mian took the silver notes, and replied him with a "hehe" before handing the notes over to Lei Tia for inspection.
Lei Tia looked at the banknotes, nodded his head, and returned them back to him.
When Nie Heng saw this, he knew that the two were most likely husband and wife.
Qin Mian kept the silver notes carefully and asked: "Does Young Master Nie have any pen and paper?"
Nie Heng replied: "Yes."
He went to the carriage and took out the four treasures of the study.
Qin Mian didn't really know how to use a brush to pass the brush to Lei Tia.
Chunsheng was bending over the table.
Nie Heng cautiously prevented others from approaching.
Qin Mian said as he wrote, "Chen Pi Yi, Gui Pi Er, Fe
el Yi ??"
Nie Heng's eyes flashed, there were actually many spices and herbs! No wonder the chef he brought with him the last time couldn't taste all the ingredients in the tasty soup.
Qin Mian explained in detail, "If it is one kilogram of skin, then it would be two kilograms ?? In short, the ratio was unchangeable, otherwise the taste would be different. "Hmm ??" Seeing that Young Master Nie did not use any underhanded methods to deal with us after he left the Flowing Water Town back then, I will send you another two dishes. "
Nie Heng felt a little more at ease, "If that's the case, thank you very much. I believe that Boss Qin's gift must have something special about it." He intentionally instigated Qin Mian, in case the recipe that Qin Mian wrote was too ordinary.
Lei Tia looked at him indifferently.
Qin Mian glanced at Nie Heng with a smile that was not a smile. To be like the heart of a gentleman. If he really was trying to fool her, why would he mention the recipe?
"Tia, you write. The first dish, the weird chicken, was grinded to a coarse noodle with fried sesame seeds. "The second dish is a plain stew with crab powder and lion's head. Wash the scallion and ginger well, wrap it with gauze and squeeze out some scallion and ginger water to prepare ??"
Nie Heng did not bat an eye, but his eyes grew brighter. These two dishes were indeed special. Just these two new dishes were enough to attract quite a few customers to his restaurant. This time, he thanked them sincerely, "Thank you, Boss Qin and Boss Lei."
"No need, no need, let's have a happy cooperation." Qin Mian smiled.
After Lei Tia finished writing, he handed the paper over to Nie Heng.
"If you have anything to say, please excuse me." Lei Tia pulled Qin Mian and left.
The first thing that Nie Heng paid attention to was Lei Tia's calligraphy. He was shocked, such a carefree and unrestrained calligraphy really did not look like it was written by a farmer's son.
He blew the ink dry, folded the paper, and carefully put it away.
"Chunsheng, go back."
After Chun Sheng drove the carriage on the road, he said, "Young Master, I have a question."
"Ask." Nie Heng was in a good mood, and was interested in chatting with his personal attendant.
