43 -42: I Will Not Sell to You
Xu Niannian knew she would say that, and was not surprised.
She explained with a smile.
“Big sister, don’t be in a hurry.
What I sold before was unimproved, and the business was very good at the time.
Even selling for three cents each, many people were willing to buy.
The one I’m giving you now, not only does it taste better than the previous ones, but its appearance is also much prettier.
With such a finished product sold at retail, it’s definitely worth more than three cents each, isn’t it?”
“Moreover, I can guarantee that as long as you don’t sell them for more than five cents, your business will surely be very good.
Making this stuff really is time-consuming and requires more expensive ingredients.
You should be able to taste the difference, otherwise, it wouldn’t be so delicious.
Three cents is the lowest price I’ve offered, and I can’t go any lower.”
Seeing that Li Qingshui was straightforward, Xu Niannian didn’t beat around the bush and laid her cards on the table.
Originally, she planned to tell others four cents each, and then when they bargained, she would drop to three cents.
But Li Qingshui was decisive, so Xu Niannian didn’t bother with those roundabout tactics.
She hadn’t lied; whether it was the glutinous rice flour or other seasonings, she chose the pricier options.
Li Qingshui understood what Xu Niannian meant by her words, which was that she wouldn’t sell for less than three cents.
She didn’t doubt what Xu Niannian said.
If the food was so tasty and she sold it for four cents, with a small profit but quick turnover, she could still make a lot.
Anyway, it didn’t require much effort from her, just needed to be marketed a bit in the shop.
Thinking this way, Li Qingshui made a decision on the spot, “Deal, I agree, but you have to accept one condition from me.”
“What condition, you say,” Xu Niannian said.
Li Qingshui didn’t hold back, “Let’s have mutual benefit.
Since we aim to make money, let’s all make it together.
I won’t sell for more, just four cents, but you have to promise to supply me at least twice a week, and in my vicinity, you can’t cooperate with anyone else.”
Li Qingshui’s words were completely within Xu Niannian’s expectations.
Anyone with a knack for business wouldn’t be too foolish.
If she supplied to everyone nearby, even if the food was really delicious, its value would decrease if it was available everywhere.
In that case, her own shop wouldn’t get extremely busy.
And it sounded like, from her words, there weren’t just one condition but two.
First, to supply regularly, and second, not to collaborate with other shops in the vicinity.The idea of supplying regularly was exactly what Xu Niannian had in mind, and she had considered the point about not partnering with nearby businesses as well.
She agreed right away, “Big sister, your point is very reasonable, no problem.
I can do that.
Considering your place is in the center of the county, even if I look for other business partners, I’ll seek out shops on the outskirts of the county.
How does that sound?”
Naturally, Li Qingshui wanted Xu Niannian to cooperate exclusively with her, but she also knew that wasn’t realistic.
The product was too exquisite and delicious, and it would represent a business opportunity wherever it went.
People always say, ‘fine wine needs no bush,’ and if the food is delicious, it will naturally sell well no matter the location.
The county was so large, others surely wouldn’t just cooperate with her alone.
The suburbs were far from here, and her place was right in the central area of the county, where business was definitely the best.
Li Qingshui agreed on the spot and exchanged names with Xu Niannian.
Off to one side, Jin Yu heard Xu Niannian’s sweet and soft voice, and thought to himself that she should be called Xu Jiaojiao instead.
When Li Qingyue learned that Xu Niannian had made over five hundred pieces this time, she promptly asked her, “How long can this stuff last?”
Xu Niannian thought for a moment.
Since the product was from the space, it should last for about three days without a problem.
It might not be as delicious as originally if it sat too long, but the flavor probably wouldn’t be too far off.
“It should last for three days.
If it gets hard, you can have someone steam it, or take it home to steam as well.”
With a shelf life of only three days, Li Qingshui hesitated.
Over five hundred of them, and she was selling them at forty cents apiece.
She wasn’t sure if she could sell them all in three days, so she simply gritted her teeth, “Fine, you can have them all.
Where are the goods?”
“You want all of them?” Xu Niannian was shocked for a moment.
That’s over five hundred…

Quite the bold move.
But…
she liked it.
Xu Niannian always enjoyed doing business with straightforward people.
Once the deal was made, Xu Niannian didn’t say another word, immediately went out to have Xu Zhiqiang bring the goods inside, treating Jin Yu as if he was thin air.
This time, Xu Niannian had made over five hundred pieces, but she only planned to give Li Qingshui five hundred.
She still had to find partners in the four cardinal directions of the city.
Five hundred Liuyue Su pastries at thirty cents each amounted to 150 dollars.
After Li Qingshui counted the quantity, he immediately gave the money to Xu Niannian.
Getting so much money in one go, Xu Niannian’s eyes squinted with joy, hardly able to see her pupils, looking every bit the money-grubber.
Jin Yu watched from the side and sneered to himself, “Money-grubber.”
Xu Zhiqiang didn’t expect his sister to come in and sell everything in one visit.
He thought for sure they wouldn’t be able to sell all of today’s batch, and yet it hadn’t even been half an hour, and she had sold them all.
Because of this, Xu Zhiqiang’s respect for Xu Niannian was unbounded.
After selling the goods, there was obviously no need for Xu Niannian to stay any longer.
But just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Jin Yu.
Xu Niannian now found this man completely disagreeable.
“What do you want?” she glared at Jin Yu, teeth clenched.
Jin Yu’s lips curled, “You took five dollars from me.”
“That was your own doing.
I’ve given you the item.
We’ve settled the transaction; what else do you want?”
“Thirty cents apiece, you only gave me one,” Jin Yu said with a skin-deep smile, his narrow phoenix eyes curving upwards, a gaze more seductive than a woman’s.
Xu Niannian held back her frustration.
It seemed he wasn’t bothered about the money; he was deliberately picking a fight with her.
A brute, a degenerate.
It’s just because he finds her attractive that he’s deliberately teasing her, isn’t it?
She wouldn’t have it.
With a “snap”, Xu Niannian shoved the five dollars back into his hand, fiercely saying, “Here, take it back.
The one I gave you before, consider it fed to the dogs.”
Li Qingshui, not being very familiar with Xu Niannian, saw this but didn’t meddle any further.
Xu Zhiqiang thought Jin Yu was trying to bully Xu Niannian.
His slender frame stepped in front of her to protect her but was pulled aside by Xu Niannian, who glared at Jin Yu, fuming with anger.
Unfortunately, her voice was sweet and soft, and because she had drunk water from the spring, it carried a hint of allure.
Her eyes, large and bright, brimmed with water as she glared, failing to convey her anger to the recipient but instead seeming enticing.
Jin Yu’s eyes narrowed, his deep gaze harboring unknown danger.
He pressed his tongue against his teeth, shoved the money back into her hand, and before Xu Niannian could ask what he was doing, he snatched the bag from her hand.
Jin Yu weighed the bag in his hand and said, “Five dollars, enough to buy this place.”
Xu Niannian bit her teeth in anger, “I’m not selling it to you.”
