Chapter 65 Manager Chen Feels Ashamed

In just half an hour, all 250 buns were sold out.

Although they only earned a little over 600 coins, everyone was very happy.

Because almost everyone who bought the steamed buns said they were delicious.

This gave them the confidence to continue.

Tian Tian calculated the cost: ten catties of flour cost thirty coins, and less than ten catties of meat was used, which was calculated at two hundred coins. In addition, the seasoning cost fifty coins, and the three catties of bean curd skin cost twenty coins at most.

That's a total of three hundred coins.

In other words, even with a buy-one-get-one-free offer, they still made over 300 coins.

If sold at the original price, one could earn over nine hundred coins.

"I can do it."

"I can do it."

Liu San Niang and Lu Tao nodded repeatedly.

With the help of the dough mixer and meat grinder, they only need to wrap and steam the buns, saving them a lot of effort.

"Let's eat something too."

Everyone ate steamed buns, and the four aunties in the shop also got some.

They had been smelling the aroma all morning, and finally they could taste it.

"Boss, these steamed buns... are so delicious, they're like food for gods."

Tian Tian was very receptive to this, waving her hand dismissively, "Eat as much as you like."

She packed a few steamed buns into a paper bag and handed it to Tian Xiang, saying, "Big sister, I just saw Madam Chu and Master Chu leave. Go and give these to Qian'er and Xiao Si."

Madam Chu and Master Chu went to the county government office, leaving Chu Qian and Chu Yao with Xiao Si.

Xiao Si was coaxing the child to eat when she saw Tian Xiang coming over carrying something.

"Young Madam, is this... a steamed bun?" He had been smelling it for a long time.

Tian Xiang nodded and handed him the paper bag. "It's steamed buns. Try some."

"Mother." Chu Qian threw down his chopsticks, slid off the stool, and hugged Tian Xiang's leg.

Xiao Si chuckled and said, "Young Madam, Master and Madam won't be back for a while. Why don't you take them back to see Grandma and Auntie?"

Chu Yao was still too young to sit still, so Madam Chu brought her little rocking bed.

"Is it okay?" Tian Xiang was afraid of causing trouble for Xiao Si.

“Of course,” Xiao Si said. “If Master and Madam come back, I will go to pick them up.”

Tian Xiang was extremely grateful. "Thank you, Xiao Si."

"It's alright, young mistress."

Tian Xiang picked up Chu Yao with one arm and Chu Qian with the other, and took the two children back to the steamed bun shop.

"Ouch..." Lu Tao put down the steamed bun, wiped her hands, and took Chu Qian from her.

"Qian'er." She pressed her face against Chu Qian's face, a gesture of affection from an elder.

Chu Qian, however, was not used to it and subconsciously looked away, glancing at Tian Tian.

Tian Tian picked up a steamed bun and said, "Mom, let go of Qian'er and let him eat a bun first."

Chu Qian took the steamed bun and couldn't resist taking a big bite.

"Is it delicious?" Tian Tian asked.

"It's delicious," Chu Qian replied, his words slightly mumbled.

Chu Yao couldn't eat steamed buns yet. She could only stare wide-eyed at Tian Xiang, her mother, who was both familiar and unfamiliar. She didn't cry or make a fuss; she was so sensible that it broke your heart.

Seeing her daughter like this, Tian Xiang couldn't help but shed tears.

Tian Tian couldn't help but sigh when she saw this, and went to the pot to steam an egg custard for Chu Yao.

The little girl laughed and danced with joy when she ate the steamed egg custard, and Tian Xiang laughed along with her.

Just then, Qian Fulai arrived.

He was very surprised to see the shop open.

"Tian Er, your shop has opened for business?"

"What are you selling?"

"You didn't tell me?!"

Tian Tian made up a story, "I was just about to tell you, what brings you here?"

Qian Fulai nodded to the others before answering Tian Tian, ​​"That... Manager Chen from Ganzhou Prefecture."

"Didn't he take the bean curd sheets from the tofu shop in the north of the city?"

Tian Tian nodded.

"After that batch of soybean oil belts returned to Ganzhou, they all got moldy, and not a single one was sold."

"He also wants to buy bean curd sheets from you, but he's afraid you won't sell them to him, so he wants me to act as a middleman and put in a good word for him."

Tian Tian waved her hand dismissively, "What's there to discuss?"

What does he mean now?

Qian Fulai looked at him with an expression that said, "What else could it mean? He still wants to buy bean curd sheets from you."

“Ganzhou is the closest to our Yunzhou Prefecture, and he was the first manager to come and give feedback.”

"People will only buy a second or third time if it sells well!"

Qian Fulai's nose twitched. "What are you selling? It smells so good!"

Lu Tao packed two steamed buns for him, saying, "Young Master Qian, please have a taste."

Qian Fulai took it and saw the sign for the steamed bun shop. "These are the steamed buns you were talking about?"

He hadn't had lunch yet, but after one bite, he was instantly won over.

"Tian Er, how did you make these steamed buns?"

Why is everything you make so delicious?

What's your secret?

As he spoke, he finished one bun and started eating the second one.

"Huh, is this the filling for bean curd skin? I didn't expect the filling to taste so good when made this way."

He quickly finished two steamed buns, picked up the paper bag, and grumbled, "He said he'd help my restaurant grow, but when he gets something good, he sells it all himself, humph!"

Tian Tian rolled her eyes at him. "I meant next spring, after my vegetables have sprouted!"

Qian Fulai: "What did Manager Chen say? Are you going to sell him the bean curd sheets or not?"

"Of course I'll sell it!"

Who still has a grudge against money?

Tian Tian told Lu Tao and the others to keep making steamed buns after they finished eating, even if no one bought them.

Unsold buns were cooled and then packed into the largest paper bags, ten buns per bag, and placed in that peculiar cabinet.

"What kind of peculiar cabinet is this?" Qian Fulai asked curiously.

Tian Tian grabbed his arm, "It's just a cabinet, don't ask anymore, let's go, don't keep Manager Chen waiting."

When Manager Chen saw Tian Tian again, he felt very embarrassed.

"Miss Tian, ​​I am ashamed."

Tian Tian genuinely didn't care. "Manager Chen, that's how business is. If there's a cheaper option, of course you choose the cheaper one. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

"I'm glad you still chose our products, which means our products are better than others."

Upon hearing this, Manager Chen felt even more ashamed.

"I am ashamed, so ashamed."

"The bean curd skin made by the girl is really good. After I sold it all in Ganzhou Prefecture, everyone said it was delicious."

"I want five thousand catties this time."

"So many?!" Tian Tian exclaimed in surprise.

Last time, Manager Chen only ordered 1,000 jin.

Shopkeeper Chen smiled and said, "Last time we only took some back to test the market, and the response was good, so of course we have to buy more. Besides, the New Year is just around the corner, and every household will be starting to prepare for the holiday and give gifts..."

Tian Tian had just eaten a steamed bun, and the aroma of the meat filling still lingered in her mouth...

"Manager Chen, since that's the case... I've just come up with a new dish, would you be willing to take it back to Ganzhou and try it out?"

"Of course I'm willing!" Manager Chen readily agreed.

He would agree to anything as long as Tian Tian was willing to sell him bean curd sheets.

Who still has a grudge against money?
