Chapter 53 Is the young lady so stubborn? Aren't she afraid we'll turn against her?
This was exactly what Lin Chang'er wanted, so she didn't linger and said directly, "I do have a solution, but Master Pei might not be willing."
Pei Sihai raised his hand, "Speak freely."
Lin Chang'er stated frankly, "The recipe can't be sold, but we can cooperate."
Pei Sihai paused, reached out and stroked his goatee, then turned to look at Wu Qingfeng, who asked, "How do we plan to cooperate?"
Lin Chang'er said, "The three of you have already tasted our sashimi, so you should know that this dish is not cheap and ordinary people may not be able to afford it."
Therefore, it cannot be served like regular dishes, and seafood is also seasonal. However, we can offer a customized service. Diners who wish to enjoy our sashimi need to make a reservation in advance and provide information such as dietary restrictions and preferences.
Then I will prepare a sauce to suit the diners' tastes.
Pei Sihai nodded in agreement, but then asked, "How should the girl's payment be calculated?"
Lin Chang'er held up three fingers, "I'll take 30% of the profit from every serving of sashimi sold."
Upon hearing this, Wu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, "This girl is young, but she has big ambitions and a lot of ideas."
Bai Shaoan also felt that this young girl was quick-witted. Selling the house would only earn her a hundred taels at most, but if she took a cut, it would be a different story.
With such delicious food, Uncle Pei would definitely find a way to promote it. Plus, with the backing of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion and the Wu family in the capital, there's no worry about sales. If there's a way to preserve it, it could even be sold all the way to the capital.
From a few portions to dozens, the little girl took more money than the prescription cost.
Of course, Uncle Pei will earn even more.
Pei Sihai thought so too, so he raised his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him again.
He naturally didn't want to miss out on this recipe, but taking a cut would mean letting this young girl join the Sihai Restaurant. He was just the nominal owner, and he couldn't make the decision without his wife's approval.
He looked helplessly at Wu Qingfeng.
Seeing his expression, Lin Chang'er assumed he was worried about sales, so she smiled and said, "Master Pei, as someone who runs a restaurant, you should know that a restaurant needs its own unique features to thrive."
Our sashimi is a unique way of eating that was only available in the Great Xia Dynasty.
"A rare commodity has its price; as long as the hype is good and this delicacy is promoted, it will surely attract gourmets from all over."
Her words struck a chord with Bai Shaoan. As if he had met a kindred spirit, Bai Shaoan immediately snapped his fingers and whispered in Pei Sihai's ear, "Uncle Pei, I think that makes sense too."
Then, with a look in his eyes, he seemed to say, "Say yes, say yes."
Pei Sihai stroked his goatee and didn't dare to reply for a moment.
At this moment, Wu Qingfeng spoke up: "What if the situation doesn't turn out as optimistic as you think, young lady?"
Lin Chang'er smiled and waved her hand, "If that's the case, neither the restaurant nor I will suffer any loss, right?"
Wu Qingfeng nodded inwardly, agreeing with the suggestion, but he couldn't just accept whatever amount she offered. "Thirty percent is a bit too much, how about twenty percent?"
Lin Chang'er shook her head and chuckled, "If that's how you think, young master, then let's change the algorithm."
If the sashimi is priced at thirty taels per serving and the cost is no more than two mace, let's leave that aside for now. Ten servings would cost 300 taels, and if Master Pei takes 70%, he can earn 210 taels. If he can sell 100 servings, that would be 2100 taels.
Judging from your demeanor and conversation, you shouldn't have any trouble finding customers. If this cooperation goes through, Boss Pei will definitely earn more money than I mentioned.
But if you all feel I'm taking too much and are unwilling to cooperate with me, then it would mean that Master Pei has lost all that money for nothing.
After she finished speaking, Bai Shaoan was dumbfounded: "..." How could it be calculated like that? But why did he find it so reasonable?
Wu Qingfeng was also surprised, but couldn't find fault with it, and secretly nodded to Pei Sihai.
Seeing that the time was right, Lin Chang'er pressed on, saying, "Actually, I've also been researching some other foods. If this collaboration goes through, we can continue to discuss other things in the future."
Wu Qingfeng chuckled, then abruptly changed the subject, "Isn't the young lady afraid we'll turn our backs on her because she's so stubborn?"
Lin Chang'er paused, trying to scare her?
He waved his hand, "If I didn't trust you, young master, I wouldn't have discussed this business with Master Pei."
If you really misjudged it, you can only accept your bad luck... but you'll get your revenge sooner or later.
Wu Qingfeng naturally didn't hear what was said next.
He felt that if he didn't agree now that things had come to this point, he would be letting her down.
She couldn't help but smile and gave Pei Sihai a look that said "I can agree".
The latter then said, "Thirty percent it is, but since you're cooperating with my Sihai Restaurant, this recipe can't be sold to anyone else."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'er knew she had made the right bet and replied, "Of course, we need to have a written agreement. If Uncle Pei is worried, you can include this clause in the agreement."
After a pause, she said, "Of course, you can't take advantage of my young age and lack of experience to deduct my share of the profits."
If I find out, I'll go to the county government and ask the magistrate for justice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Shaoan and Pei Sihai both looked at Wu Qingfeng.
Wu Qingfeng's face flushed, his eyes flickered, and he said seriously, "What are you looking at me for? Let's get down to business."
Lin Chang'er also found it strange. The Sihai Restaurant wasn't run by the "God of Wealth," so why were they looking at the "God of Wealth" instead of Pei Sihai?
Pei Sihai chuckled and stood up. "I'll go draft the documents right away."
Bai Shaoan then took another clean teacup from the tea tray, poured some tea, and invited Lin Chang'er, "You must be thirsty after talking for so long. Sit down and have some tea."
Lin Chang'er was not a coy person to begin with, so she thanked him and sat down opposite him.
Then he said, "My name is Bai Shaoan. May I ask your name, young lady..."
"Lin Chang'er..." Lin Chang'er took a sip of tea and said generously.
Wu Qingfeng was taken aback, then suddenly looked up, "Which words?"
Lin Chang'er paused, then said, "Lin is the name of the two trees, Chang'e, and Er is the name of the daughter."
"Who are you from? Where do you live?"
Lin Chang'er: "..." Are you checking household registration?
Bai Shaoan wondered: What's wrong with this guy today? It's not like we're investigating a case, why is he asking so many questions? Isn't he afraid of scaring the young lady?
Lin Chang'er simply replied truthfully, "Linshui Village."
Wu Qingfeng nodded. Although he was also from Linshui Village, according to his uncle, his teacher's niece had eloped with someone and shouldn't still be living in Linshui Village.
They probably share the same name; otherwise, how could he have lived up to his teacher's expectations?
Thinking this, he felt inexplicably relieved.
The next instant, his elbow was bumped by Bai Shaoan.
Wu Qingfeng looked at him, his eyes filled with incomprehension.
Bai Shaoan winked at him, "It's your turn!"
Wu Qingfeng then came to his senses, "Wu Qingfeng."
Lin Chang'er: "..." What a coincidence! The new guy from Ninghai County is also surnamed Wu!
