Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 177 Water Drawing Tools

"What the girl said is absolutely true."

An Yue wanted to say something but stopped herself. Shopkeeper Wang was a smart man and immediately understood what she meant.

"After the young lady's guidance, I, Wang, have been enlightened and my mind has been opened!" Shopkeeper Wang said excitedly.

"But how should we promote the new product? What kind of dish should we promote?"

An Yue just smiled but didn't say anything.

Shopkeeper Wang turned around and asked with a smile, "I think the young lady has understood it."

An Yue analyzed: "Yueyue's analysis has three points. First, the name of the new product is 'Tachun Product', which is simple, direct and clear. Second, at least two dishes should be launched. Third, the Tachun Product must be limited in time."

"Why is there a time limit?" Shopkeeper Wang asked in confusion.

"As mentioned before, spring bamboo shoots are a seasonal delicacy, and the limited-time offer can also motivate people to come and taste them."

Shopkeeper Wang stroked his beard, nodded his approval, and continued to ask, "What two dishes do you want to serve, girl?"

An Yue was delighted when she heard this, and quickly moved the backpack to Shopkeeper Wang, making a gesture of invitation: "Please take a look, Shopkeeper Wang."

Shopkeeper Wang grabbed a handful of dried bamboo shoots, looked at them carefully, smelled them, and nodded with satisfaction.

"The quality of the dried bamboo shoots you've got is really good. But...what does the new product you're talking about have to do with these dried bamboo shoots?"

"Boss, look! The first dish of this new product is called 'Stir-fried Spring Bamboo Shoots with Pickled Cabbage', and the second is called 'Stir-fried Eggs with Chinese Toona Sinensis'. These two dishes..."

"Wait, what is the pickled cabbage that the girl is talking about?"

As for sauerkraut, An Yue went back to the An family with his grandfather An Nian to clean the house a year ago, and made two large jars of sauerkraut at that time.

Previously, there was a fire in the An family's old house. At that time, the two jars were placed under the long stone slab in the kitchen. Fortunately, the stone slab was hard enough, and the collapsed beams did not hit the jars at all.

When the two jars of sauerkraut were first brought back to the An family, they were often not finished. Now, after going around in circles, they can be exchanged directly for silver.

"Of course there is sauerkraut, but the quantity is limited."

"It's just... just these two dishes. I don't know how they taste yet."

"How about this, Yueyue will personally make these two dishes tomorrow and let Shopkeeper Wang taste them first?"

Shopkeeper Wang laughed and said with satisfaction: "Okay, okay, okay. This can be regarded as a reassurance for me."

"So, girl, how much money do you plan to pay for this recipe?"

"Manager Wang, we are old acquaintances. My younger brother was admitted to the academy earlier, thanks to the help of Manager Wang. I will not charge you for the recipe this time."

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Wang looked very surprised.

"Miss, Wang was just the matchmaker for your brother's admission. Everything depended on him. But for this recipe, are you really not going to charge me?"

"No, Shopkeeper Wang."

Shopkeeper Wang laughed loudly and said, "Haha... Then this time, didn't I get a bargain?"

An Yue tilted her head and smiled coquettishly, "It can't be said that we are getting a complete bargain. It's still the old rules. The supply must come from Yueyue."

Shopkeeper Wang's face was full of joy, and he said, "Of course, I will accept the spring bamboo shoots that the young lady sent today."

An Yue smiled and nodded.

Then, Shopkeeper Wang raised his hand and called the servant standing beside him to come over to him and said, "Prepare to weigh it!"

He turned to An Yue and said, "We are old acquaintances. Wang will buy them at a high price. The half-dried bamboo shoots will be sold at 15 coins per catty. If you send fresh bamboo shoots, it will only be sold at 10 coins per catty. What do you think?"

An Yue was secretly delighted. This price was higher than she expected, so she said gratefully, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Wang!"

——A quarter of an hour later.

After the weighing.

The accountant walked up to them with the account book and read out, "Leaving aside the weight of the basket, 48 pounds of bamboo shoots equals 720 wen of silver."

Shopkeeper Wang whispered to the accountant, "Just transfer 800 coins from the account and give it to Miss Anyue."

"Yes, boss." The accountant said respectfully.

"Manager Wang, no, no, just give me the money I want."

"Miss, since you are willing to give me this great plan, you can certainly bear it."

An Yue took the silver and money, picked up the empty backpack, and prepared to leave the restaurant.

Shopkeeper Wang smiled happily and waved to An Yue, saying, "Then I will wait for you here, young lady. If this 'Spring Festival Product' is well received by the public after its launch, you will definitely get benefits from it in the future."

An Yue smiled and turned back and said, "Then it's a deal."

After An Yue left Wanfulou, she touched the silver and money in her cloth bag and felt very happy.

She couldn't help but stretch herself and felt a lot more relaxed.

This not only solves the sales problem of spring bamboo shoots, Chinese toon and sauerkraut, but also earns back the money used to buy the back mountain, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

She began walking toward the grocery store alley, thinking about what she was going to do next.

Now that the well has been dug, we only need to buy a tool for drawing water, a "windmill". Once we buy it and install it, we can use the well water normally.

An Yue walked into a farm tool shop.

The shopkeeper came up and asked, "Miss, what do you want to buy?"

"Boss, do you have any tools for drawing water?" An Yue asked as she put down the backpack on her back.

"Girl, which one are you talking about?"

"The kind that draws water from a deep well."

The shopkeeper made a 'please' gesture and said, "Yes, yes, yes, please follow me, young lady."

The shopkeeper pointed to a row of water-drawing tools placed in the corner and said, "These are the windlasses for drawing water from deep wells. The ropes of the two windlasses in front are shorter."

The shopkeeper looked at An Yue's expression and continued, "This deep-water windlass is easy to install. After you take it back..."

An Yue listened to the shopkeeper's explanation and thought it was quite good, so she asked, "How much is this deep well pulley?"

"Girl, this windlass rope is longer and will cost eighty coins."

"Can you make it cheaper, boss?"

"Miss, this kind of windlass is complicated to make and relatively expensive. If you are sincere in buying it, I will pay seventy-five coins. What do you think?"

"Okay then, let's take this deep well pulley!"

When the shopkeeper heard An Yue say she wanted it, he picked up the windlass and walked towards the counter with An Yue.

After paying the bill, he put the windlass in a basket and walked out of the farm tool shop carrying the basket.

Seeing that it was still early, An Yue decided to go shopping at the market when passing by to see if there was anything else she needed to buy.

When I arrived at the market, I saw a stall selling chicks and ducklings.

She remembered that the chicken coop at home was still empty, so she bought a few chicks and a few pounds of rice bran, and then prepared to go home.

Carrying a basket and holding a chick, he came to the entrance of the town.

It was almost noon, and Li Wu's ox cart was parked at the entrance of the town, with three people already sitting on it.
