Chapter 32 – Tai Fu Lou
In addition to worrying about the child, Heizi’s family also attached great importance to this transaction, how can they let the child trade by himself?
When Heizi and his father came, Wei Cheng’s stall was still doing the morning market, and when he saw them coming, Wei Cheng showed a little appreciation. They must have found a suitable way for them to deliver so early.
Because they were still doing the morning market, Wei Cheng was busy and the two were also cautious so Wei Cheng paid the bill directly.
Seeing the skinny father and son get their money, smiling with joy and satisfaction, Wei Cheng had mixed feelings for a moment, reminding him of his previous life when he was a child- when he was younger, his family was poor and he would be satisfied as long as the family earned money and had good food. …
Even when he got the wealth that other people wished for in his previous life, he felt that it was in vain. Now he realizes that there are few people who can share this with him, and he also felt bored about how much money he had.
Wei Cheng looked at the busy and smiling wife beside him, and he smiled knowingly.
They’ll keep working hard to make money.
Steward Chen came to the door again.
He came to the stall directly to find him.
Steward Chen approached Wei Cheng for business, and threatened that there were few types of dishes- it would not be a big problem for ordinary people to buy them everyday but if rich people bought them, they would feel that it was bland to eat vegetables every day. The business has declined in the past two days because it catered to the rich.
The number of reservations for the big family has dropped, and he heard that it was because of eating the same coleslaw every day, and the fact that it was mostly vegetables. After eating it for a few meals, the main family members are already bored of it. There is a lot left, so there is no need to book too much.
There are still orders every day, but the order purchase volume has dropped.
He came to ask Wei Cheng if there is a solution to this.
Wei Cheng thought for a while and asked, “Is the coleslaw mixed with all the same vegetables?”
Steward Chen: “That’s for sure, we did it as you taught us to.”
“Is it all mixed up when sold to a big family?”
“Yes, but some big households will also ask for less of some vegetables like cabbage, and more lotus roots, fungus, cucumbers, and bamboo shoots.” After Steward Chen finished speaking, he looked at Wei Cheng and frowned, “Is there any problem?”
You are the problem, Wei Cheng rolled his eyes in his heart.
This Steward Chen seems to be quite smooth, but he has no brains at all when doing business.
When he opened the stall, there was not enough manpower, so it was more convenient to mix and sell coleslaw together.
Retailing is different. It can be sold flexibly, mixed with varying vegetables and such. The big family are eating the same variety everyday, for them, no matter how delicious it is, they will eventually get tired of it.

After Steward Chen finished listening, he immediately praised him, “This is a good idea!” He never thought of it before.
Steward Chen looked at Wei Cheng with admiration, he didn’t expect that the other party, who was an ordinary guy from the countryside, could not only cook, but also do business.
It seems that it is also beneficial to choose to befriend people without being too insistent on buying formulas.
“You promised to introduce new dishes before. I won’t force you to have new dishes, but you must add a few more types of meat dishes. The big families have the same opinion, compared with vegetables, meat dishes are much more welcomed.”
He cooperated with Wei Cheng, and privately asked the cook to study the sauce they used for their dishes but he was very dissatisfied with the results. The other sauce recipes have also been studied, but they have all been failures, otherwise there is no need to cooperate with Wei Cheng.
Manager Chen intended to warn him that if he was not satisfied, the formula purchase might be brought up again.
Wei Cheng thought for a while, “Okay, Steward Chen can come over in two days and try out some new dishes.” It’s not too difficult for him to make a few meat dishes.
Manager Chen was satisfied, and before he went back, he asked Wei Cheng to cook three servings of teppanyaki for him to take back. He has been paying attention to the stall’s movements, so how could he not know about the new food? Since he already came, he’ll pack some up and take them home.
It’s not even the opening time for lunch but the other has already mentioned it, so Wei Cheng can only do it.
Wei Cheng also refused his money.
After waiting for the person to leave, Wei Cheng entered using the curtain of the stall, full of grievances- he hugged Zhou Yuan from behind, and rubbed his head on Zhou Yuan’s neck, begging his wife to comfort him.
Although separated by a curtain, it was still in broad daylight, Zhou Yuan was still at the stall, how could he allow himself to be hugged, so he struggled.
“Wife, you don’t love me anymore, can’t you see I’ve been bullied?” The voice used was also aggrieved.
“What’s wrong?”
Zhou Yuan even forgot to struggle, and turned around with a concerned face, Wei Cheng took advantage of the situation and hugged him face to face.
“That Steward Chen has oppressed your husband, he just packed shrimp teppanyaki and didn’t give me any money.” Wei Cheng complained.
“Didn’t you not accept it?” He heard it all.
Wei Cheng was even more aggrieved and stared at him, “How could I dare take his money, who knows what he might ask if I do?” Being threatened by someone made him quite aggrieved.
Even though he crossed over, he didn’t get a golden finger. He had read online novels, and those who traversed were all awesome, and they all had the momentum of stepping mountains and splitting rivers with one palm… Ahem, maybe he was thinking too much.
“Okay, how can I comfort you?” Seeing the person’s expression, Zhou Yuan softened his heart, even though he knew that his husband was good at acting pitiful…
“Kiss…” Wei Cheng’s eyes lit up, staring at the person and asking.
Zhou Yuan: “……”
In the end, Zhou Yuan was defeated and quickly kissed him on the lips. He had never done such a frivolous act outside so his face turned red.
However, seeing Wei Cheng leaving happily, he felt that it was worth it.
Wei Cheng was appeased by his wife, and he was in the mood to think about new dishes, so it would be easy for him to add new dishes.
Shredded chicken with sesame oil and roasted pig knuckles.
They are absolutely dishes that could be made at this time.
After thinking about new dishes, he pondered for a while.
This particular situation is a recurring problem. He has to go find a big restaurant in the county when he has time to see if he can find a partner.
Anyways, he hasn’t taken a vacation for a long time, so they should take a few days off.
He was thinking about looking for a backer, but he didn’t know that the backer was quickly coming to his door.
Wei Lei returned to the stall in time for business in the afternoon market, and Wei Yuan followed.
Aunt Yang went back to wash the vegetables and go to work.
Wei Lei told Wei Cheng what had happened in a clear and orderly manner, and how the matter was handled calmly.
It was Wei Cheng’s intention to ask Wei Lei to deal with the matter. He deliberately asked Wei Lei to try to deal with the matter independently, and let him learn how to deal with the matter in his own way.
The result is still satisfactory.
Wei Lei also told him about the village chief.
Wei Cheng pondered for a moment, harvesting more vegetables was useless than him, but he had to give the village chief face and leave behind a good reputation so that he can be a source of help if they meet again in the future.
“It can be accepted, the price will be lowered, and Aunt Lu will explain to those who buy vegetables that we will not accept vegetables tomorrow, just for today.”
Wei Yuan asked, “Which families will agree?”
Wei Cheng affirmed, “They will definitely agree to this matter, and they won’t care too much about it. Instead, they will worry that I won’t accept vegetables in the future.”
Wei Yuan also thought it made sense.
“By the way, Lei-zi, I’ll have to trouble you to talk with the village head, and you must be strict with him as you will be setting an example.”
“It’s no trouble.”
After the three of them discussed, the lunch market began.
Wei Yuan hadn’t seen the business situation of the stall before but he still stayed to help, but Wei Cheng didn’t stop him.
The customers came one after another.
Afterwards, Wei Yuan saw how good the business of Wei Cheng’s stall was, from the time it was busy until the food was sold out— it was a very short time.
*
Merchant ships approach the port.
A gorgeously dressed man was standing on the bow of the boat, and in his hand was a fan, looking at the pier ahead with an unhappy expression on his face.
“Yan Yi, do you think my elder brother was kicked in the head by a horse? I didn’t offend him but he still kicked me out of the house. He’s still so strict. If I don’t make achievements, I won’t be allowed to go home.” It was obvious on his face that he was indignant.
With a serious face, the tall Yan Yi thought to himself- the Eldest Young Master is not something he, a mere guard, can talk about. Third Young Master, if you scold the Eldest Young Master behind his back, don’t drag your subordinates into the water, he wouldn’t even dare to stand behind you against him even if you give your subordinates ten thousand courage to talk about the young master behind his back.
“Speak!”
“Master, this subordinate dare not make any unreasonable remarks.” Yan Yi said respectfully, slandering in his heart. This is your fault, young master, you just had to play around outside, provoking your elder brother into driving you out to hone yourself.
It’s not that Yan Yi is disrespectful, but that Yan Yi knows his young master’s temper, and he hears his subordinates’ jokes when they are in front of him. He is the most unassuming young master in the family, and also the most noisy one.
“I’m the oldest now, so just say what I want you to say.” After giving the order, he opened the fan with a swipe and said, “Go on then, scold my elder brother for me.”
Yan Yi broke into a cold sweat after hearing his young master’s order.
Scolding the eldest young master, its a bit akin to letting his subordinate commit suicide.
Of course, the young master didn’t really let people scold his elder brother. His elder brother is serious and his methods are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If he were to face his elder brother, he would not have the courage to do anything. He would at most swear behind his back.
