Chapter 528: Double the price for her

Qiao Ran would naturally not refuse such a good thing.

"Okay, thank you so much, Shopkeeper Chen!"

From now on, I will only be responsible for picking bamboo fungus and bamboo shoots and taking them home. It is naturally a good thing to have someone come to purchase them.

However, I don’t have such a big scale at home!

Shopkeeper Chen also thought about this problem and suggested:

"If Miss Qiao trusts us at Juxian Restaurant, please bring these bamboo ginseng and bamboo shoots back to the restaurant first and then weigh them. The money will be paid in half a month, or I will ask the boy to bring you the previous day's money every day. What do you think, girl?" "

Qiao Ran shook her head and said with a smile: "There's no need to go to such trouble. I naturally trust Shopkeeper Chen. You can pay every half a month or every month. I'm not in a hurry for money."

"Okay! Okay! Thank you, Miss Qiao, for trusting us in Juxianlou."

Shopkeeper Chen was very excited. It felt good to gain the trust of others.

After the negotiation was completed, Qiao Ran put the banknotes away and drove the carriage to the General's Mansion.

As soon as her carriage left, a very luxurious carriage stopped at the door of Juxian Building.

Watching Qiao Ran's carriage leave, shopkeeper Chen, who was about to turn around and go back to the restaurant, saw the familiar carriage and immediately went to greet it.

"Master, you are here."

Mo Beihan got off the carriage and was shocked when he saw the bamboo basket full of bamboo fungus.

"Who is this? You can collect so many bamboo ginseng. These are worth dozens of taels of silver, right?"

Shopkeeper Chen pointed to the shadow of the carriage that was about to disappear in the distance and said:

"These bamboo ginseng and spring bamboo shoots were sent by Miss Qiao. She just left. There was also a basket of bamboo ginseng and a sack of bamboo shoots on her carriage, which she said she was going to send to the General's Palace."

"Oh, the little girl brought it?"

Mo Beihan stepped forward and picked up a few bamboo shoots in the bamboo basket.

"The quality of this bamboo ginseng is really good. The little girl didn't use crooked melons and cracked dates to make up for it. But where did she get so many bamboo ginseng in such good quality? I didn't see it when I went to Devil's Valley last time. There are large bamboo forests there!”

Shopkeeper Chen said: "Miss Qiao said that she didn't pick it in Devil's Valley, but that she had to climb a long and steep mountain road with great difficulty. But she said that she had already planted some in Devil's Valley and would plant it in Devil's Valley in the future. Bamboo ginseng can also be picked in Devil’s Valley.”

Mo Beihan looked at the carriage gradually disappearing into the crowd in the distance and raised his eyebrows:

"She can also grow bamboo ginseng by herself? This girl is really amazing!"

Remembering the verbal agreement he had just reached with Miss Qiao, Shopkeeper Chen reported again:

"My boss, Miss Qiao also said that she will pick two baskets of bamboo ginseng and two sacks of bamboo shoots every day to provide to our restaurant. I have already agreed with Miss Qiao to send a boy to her house every day to bring back the bamboo ginseng and bamboo shoots. , so you don’t have to bother her running around, and the money will be paid to her half a month or once a month.”

Mo Beihan looked at the bamboo basket full of bamboo ginseng and the sack of bamboo shoots. He frowned slightly when he thought that the little girl had traveled over mountains and ridges, worked hard and even risked her life to collect these. The ground wrinkled.

"Since she picked it with great difficulty, the price must be worthy of others. Starting tomorrow, the price of the bamboo ginseng and bamboo shoots she sent will be doubled."

I thought that the little girl might set out before dawn every day, braving the cold dew and risking encountering venomous snakes and beasts, climbing over such a high and steep mountain, digging for bamboo ginseng and bamboo shoots for a long time, and then climbing up the mountain again. After carrying it home, he felt unhappy for no reason.

Is that little girl a money addict? He had given her all the belongings of Dingbei Prince's Mansion, why wasn't she satisfied?

With so much money, you can feed the entire Qiao family with good food and drink for a lifetime. Why do you have to work so hard to earn such a mere few dozen taels of silver?

Mo Beihan felt distressed, and Shopkeeper Chen felt even more distressed.

It's just that what he cares about is the money in the restaurant.

"Master, but if the price has doubled, won't our restaurant be going to lose money?"

A pound of fresh bamboo ginseng that originally cost 500 yuan suddenly increased to one tael of silver.

Today, a basket of bamboo ginseng and a sack of bamboo shoots cost forty taels. Then from now on, two baskets of bamboo ginseng and two bags of bamboo shoots would cost eighty taels.

Shopkeeper Chen only felt that the cost was too expensive, eighty taels! How many dishes do you need to sell to earn back the profit?

Mo Beihan glared angrily at Shopkeeper Chen, whose face was full of pain.

"What's the loss? The price of bamboo ginseng and bamboo shoots has doubled, so won't the dishes you sell also double?"

"Double it?"

Shopkeeper Chen was dumbfounded.

If the price of the dishes has doubled, will anyone come to eat it?

Juxianlou is originally a high-end restaurant for wealthy people, and every dish is very expensive.

If this price doubled again, a dish would cost several taels or even more than ten taels of silver. How many robbers would be willing to pay for it?

Seeing shopkeeper Chen dumbfounded, Mo Beihan really hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, and his tone was a bit harsh:

"Things are scarce, do you understand? Of all the restaurants in the capital, our Juxian restaurant is the only one that can produce so much bamboo ginseng for cooking every day. You can make it a signature dish. If others want to eat bamboo ginseng, naturally The first thing I thought of was our Juxian Restaurant.”

Shopkeeper Chen was confused: "Ah, you want to add a signature dish? But our restaurant already has many signature dishes!"

Other restaurants only have a few or even one or two signature dishes, but their Juxiang Restaurant already has more than a dozen signature dishes.

Moreover, many of Juxianlou’s signature dishes are unique, plus this bamboo ginseng dish...

Mo Beihan was a little weak.

It is said that the boss is a hands-off shopkeeper, but he felt that his boss was not a hands-off shopper, but Shopkeeper Chen!

Otherwise, why would he have to come up with ideas for everything?

He shook his head helplessly and patiently explained:

"This bamboo ginseng is not available all year round. It is only fresh in the past two or three months, and the supply exceeds demand. Even if other restaurants want to sell bamboo ginseng dishes, they will not be able to sell them for long. But our restaurant has so many bamboo ginseng. , if you can’t use it up that day, you can dry it and store it for later use. When no one else has bamboo ginseng, only our Juxian restaurant has it. Isn’t this a proper signature dish?”

Mo Beihan's words made Shopkeeper Chen Mao Sai suddenly open.

Yes! Just have as many dishes as you like. Who has too many signature dishes?

Anyway, only their Juxian restaurant has delicious dishes that other restaurants cannot supply for a long time. So why don’t they let those who want to eat obediently come over and spend money to eat?

"Thank you for your advice, boss! As expected, my boss's brain is good. Then I'll go and pick out a few dishes made with bamboo ginseng as signature dishes. I'll also ask my boss for details."

Mo Beihan didn't comment and just walked towards the restaurant.

Shopkeeper Chen quickly followed behind and asked diligently: "Master, do you want to have dinner in the restaurant? Then I will immediately ask the kitchen to prepare a few signature dishes. Is there anything you want to eat, master?"

Mo Beihan nodded: "Bring me a steamed bamboo chicken soup, stir-fried bacon with spring bamboo shoots, golden yam with honey sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs, and spicy and sour chicken feet. Let's start with these, not the rest!"

Shopkeeper Chen reminded carefully: "Master, don't you want to eat fish anymore?"

Every time my boss came here before, he always ordered a few fish dishes! Could it be that I forgot this time?
