Chapter 199 Malicious Intent (8)_1
After preparing the sugar-coated peanuts, Pei Qian and Pei Wendong stayed at home, while Pei Qin and Pei Yuan carried their loads and took a cart to Yuanyang County.
First, they delivered a package to Landlord Chang’s house and then gave one to the Wang family. The siblings, dragging a handcart, arrived at Moon Restaurant.
The shopkeeper saw them and thought that the Snow Vegetable was in season again. When he learned it was a snack before meals, he told them to ask him first, and if he didn’t need it, to take it to the teahouse. After tasting the sugar-coated peanuts and praising them as wonderful, he decided to keep the entire batch.
Keeping to the budget of twenty taels of silver she had spent, Pei Qin intended to earn at least ten taels in profit.
After some haggling, both sides reached an agreement on a price close to their expectations, and Pei Qin sold all the sugar-coated peanuts she had brought to Moon Restaurant.
Pei Qian recorded the earned silver, "By the time these peanuts sell out, we should have enough! We must set up our noodle stall quickly before someone else learns how to make them!"
Pei Qin was planning to make even more sugar-coated peanuts, bringing more each following day than the last, and went directly to a teahouse called Ju Xian Building.
While Ju Xian Building had a grand-sounding name, its business was mediocre. Several people had tried to buy it, but the shopkeeper was stubborn, calling it a family legacy and refusing to sell no matter what was offered.
When Pei Qin presented the sugar-coated peanuts, Boss He hesitated a while before finally buying all they had brought.
"Shopkeeper! If you still want our sugar-coated peanuts in the future, I can offer you a suggestion!" Pei Qin, after collecting the silver, smiled at Boss He.
