Chapter 114 Good things come in pairs (5)
So, she suddenly understood and grabbed Xia Mo and started asking questions. Xia Mo also told her in detail.
It was because of this that she found out that Ze Ge'er and Mrs. Qi had been going to the city every few days to sell the malt sugar they made together to the grocery store.
After learning this, the last bit of worry in Liu Yingying's heart disappeared. She earnestly asked Xia Mo how he felt about doing business for the first time, etc. Xia Mo instantly became proud and started bragging with a smile.
So, the two of them started chatting in this way, not being idle for a moment.
I don't know how long it took, Qi and Liu Yu arrived one after another. The two of them also looked very excited, and I don't know what Ling Chuan said to them.
Especially Liu Yu, who was panting, her cheeks were as red as ripe apples, and there was some sweat on her forehead. It was obvious that she had just run.
When Xia Mo saw him like this, a dark light flashed in his eyes. It seemed that he didn't have to worry about not being able to do this deal.
He poured a bowl of water for Liu Yu and said with a smile, "Don't be anxious, Brother Yu. Come, drink some water and take a breath, then sit down and talk."
Liu Yu was so thirsty that he didn't refuse. He took the bowl and tilted his head back, then gulped down the drink. Then he put the bowl down but didn't sit down immediately. Instead, he raised his hand to wipe the water stains from the corner of his lips.
Then, he couldn't wait to ask Xia Mo: "Brother Ze, Brother Ling said that you want to do business with us, is it true?"
"Of course." Xia Mo smiled. "How dare I joke about such a big thing? Sit down first. If you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Yingying and my sister-in-law. She has seen me and Shopkeeper Hong doing business with her own eyes."
Qi arrived earlier than Liu Yu, so she already knew the general situation. After hearing what Xia Mo said, she immediately nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, Brother Ze is really amazing. I was stunned by his performance at that time."
"Wow, it's actually true! Did you know? When I saw Brother Ling just now, he suddenly came to me with a very serious face. I was really scared." Liu Yu said as he pulled out a stool and sat down.
Xia Mo chuckled when he heard it. He imagined the scene. After all, Yu Ge'er seemed to be a little scared of Ling Chuan.
"Hey, Ze brother, don't laugh. You don't know how fierce your brother Ling looks." Liu Yu spread his hands, feeling helpless.
"No way." Xia Mo denied with a smile. His brother Chuan wasn't fierce at all, right? That was the charm of a man!
"Yo yo~ You're going to protect me already?" Liu Yu had a wicked smile on his face and immediately started exchanging glances with Qi and Liu Yingying.
The teasing and mocking in the eyes of the three people couldn't be more obvious. Seeing this, Xia Mo coughed lightly: "Well, it's getting late, let's get down to business."
"Okay." The three of them said in unison, but they still looked like they understood, as the beholder sees beauty in everything.
Helpless Xia Mo looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and simply pretended to be blind. He changed the subject directly and brought up issues such as how to allocate the investment capital and profit distribution of this business, as well as the production time.
Except Xia Mo, the other three have never run their own business. Qi is slightly better, as she has accompanied Liu Yong to sell wild animals before. But Liu Yingying and Liu Yu are different, as they are very enthusiastic when talking about it.
So the four of them discussed it in whispers for a long time, until Lingchuan went to the old man's house and told him that he had to plant the paddy fields himself in the autumn, and then returned home. They were still talking passionately.
"Haven't you discussed it yet?" Ling Chuan sat down next to Xia Mo.
"It's settled, there are five of us in total, which is equivalent to five shares, so the invested capital will be one share each. As for how much money to invest, let's see how much deposit Manager Hong will give. If it's not enough, then we will each contribute a little on average, so the profits can be divided equally." Xia Mo said truthfully.
Why does he feel that the atmosphere seems to become a little oppressive as soon as Ling Chuan comes back?
"Okay." Ling Chuan said. He had no objection to supporting the young man's decision.
"Heh..." Xia Mo smiled when he heard that, and then said to Liu Yingying and the others, "I told you that Brother Ling wouldn't have any objections, but you didn't believe me."
What he said was because before this, Liu Yingying and the others wanted him to take the biggest share. After all, it was he who brought the business. Secondly, their craftsmanship was not up to par yet and was not worth the money.
Qi looked at the energetic Xia Mo and smiled helplessly, "I know, I know. We will definitely trust you from now on, okay?"
"Well, that's not bad." Xia Mo nodded heavily, and suddenly remembered that he had something to explain, so he slapped his head and said, "Oh, right! I have something else to do later, so I can't spare the time. I'll trouble you to spend some time to find out about the bamboo plaque, bamboo sieve, sweet potatoes and wheat later."
"Oh, I thought it was a big deal. You just do your own thing and leave these to us." Seeing him so startled, Liu Yingying almost mistook it for another big deal.
"Don't talk about whether it's a hassle or not. Since we're all making money together, this is our job." Liu Yingying said, then turned her head to ask Qi and Liu Yu, "Sister-in-law, Brother Yu, don't you agree?"
"Yes, yes, Ze, you are too polite." Qi and Liu Yu agreed.
Xia Mo felt embarrassed by what they said, so he scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Well... don't worry about the sweet potatoes, but if you don't have enough wheat or tools, remember to tell me tonight. We still have to report to Shopkeeper Hong tomorrow morning, and we can buy some directly then."
Upon hearing Liu Yingying's words, they all agreed immediately. Since time was tight and Xia Mo said he was busy, they were also eager to prepare for the deal, so after chatting for a while, they left together.
After they left, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan sat for a while and began to write recipes. Ling Chuan helped to find out which ingredients were missing and occasionally mentioned some ingredients with similar taste or function.
Because the two of them cooperated very well, this matter was not as troublesome as Xia Mo had imagined, even the soup used to cook the food was the same.
In the evening, Liu Yingying and her team also brought in the news from their afternoon investigation.
They could bring some tools like bamboo sieves from home, but it was still not enough. At the same time, there was not much wheat in the village, so these had to be bought. As for sweet potatoes, just like Xia Mo said, there was no need to worry at all.
Xia Mo smiled and said thank you for your hard work, and wanted to invite them to stay for dinner, but they refused outright, saying that their meals had already been cooked at home.
Seeing this, Xia Mo did not try to force him to stay, thinking that it would not be too late to have a meal together after he made some money.
