C17 Negotiation

With his sharp eyes, he saw a girl who was carrying a heavy basket on her back and was about to bend over. He couldn't help but tell the other assistant, "This country bumpkin girl is suffering.

"Why are you talking so much? The shopkeeper will have to talk to you when he sees you slacking off. " He looked outside the restaurant absentmindedly and found it to be quite familiar. After looking carefully, he discovered that it was the girl who brought the dishes here the day before yesterday. He hurriedly told his companion to go find the shopkeeper, then ran towards Soong Xintong, "Lady, let me carry the dishes for you."

Suddenly, she heard a somewhat familiar voice, and before she could even react, the weight on her back suddenly became empty. Only then did she have the strength to raise her head and look at him, it was actually the helper from Lucky Restaurant.

"So it's you." Soong Xintong let out a sigh of relief and happily handed the basket over to the waiter. She straightened her body and hit her back before following the waiter inside.

The waiter said, "Miss, please wait for a moment. The shopkeeper won't be able to come until a quarter of an hour later."

The sun had already risen. It was about fifteen minutes after dawn, and it was good to be the shopkeeper. He didn't need to get up early to go to work.

Soong Xintong sat on the stool and gulped a few mouthfuls of cold tea to cool it off. She then asked, "Brother, did you run out of ear broken root from last time?"

The assistant blurted out, "I finished it long ago."

"Then it seems to be selling very well." Soong Xintong secretly heaved a sigh of relief. After all, in a remote county like this, the consumption rate was still limited. Furthermore, it was a new dish, so she was worried that she wouldn't be able to sell it. Since the sales were not bad, she didn't have to worry about losing her livelihood.

The waiter also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he shriveled up and added, "I added quite a bit of ear broken roots into the other cold mixed pig ears dishes."

Soong Xintong looked at him with a faint smile. "You're quite smart."

"You flatter me, Miss." The shop assistant felt extremely regretful in his heart. If the shopkeeper knew that he had leaked the secret, would he have told him to scram?

"This elder brother, can you …" Before Soong Xintong could finish, the waiter hastily interrupted her, "Girl, it's better if you don't call me brother. Just call me Zhu San."

Soong Xintong nodded. "That's good too. A young girl like her calls such a sixteen or seventeen years old worker brother. She still felt awkward and shy," Zhu San, do you have any more pastries from last time? "

After he finished speaking, his stomach couldn't help but growl out uncontrollably.

Soong Xintong covered her stomach and smiled awkwardly at Zhu San.

"Miss hasn't even had breakfast? Seeing my stupidity, I will immediately prepare a copy for you. " Zhu San trotted towards the kitchen and met the waiter who was cleaning the kitchen. "Zhu San, is that girl a vegetable seller?" Didn't the shopkeeper say that you can't casually take someone who sells vegetables into the store? "

"What do you know? "She was the one who sent them off." Zhu San ran into the kitchen, grabbed a plate of four or five steamed buns and also scooped a big bowl of porridge.

"So it's her." The shop assistant was astonished. After all, the Broken Ear Root had become popular in their restaurant in the past two days. It had even run out of stock yesterday afternoon.

"That's right, when is the shopkeeper coming over?" Zhu San carried the steamed bun out.

"Soon."

It was indeed worthy of being the largest restaurant in the county. The decor and decoration were all very good, and to be able to do this, it must be the sharp eyes of the shopkeepers. For example, her broken ears.

If he had gone to another restaurant that day, it was unknown whether he would have received such lenient treatment.

"Miss, don't mind the leftover steamed buns from this morning." Zhu San placed them on the table and served them carefully.

"It's already very good." Soong Xintong looked at Steamed Bun and her eyes curved into a smile. A meat bun in the shop was worth two dollars. This time, she gave him five steamed buns and even earned ten coins.

Sigh, I am indeed poor now, so I must calculate everything. It is really getting worse with each passing day.

Soong Xintong sighed as she happily finished two buns and a big bowl of porridge, not even missing the small plate of pickled vegetables. She burped in satisfaction and said to Zhu San, "Can I take these buns with me?"

Zhu San was stunned for a moment, thinking that this girl still had a few brothers and sisters that were waiting to be fed to her. Then he nodded, "Then I'll get some oily paper to wrap it up for you."

"Sorry for the trouble." Soong Xintong felt that her face was getting thicker and thicker. If she was forced to a certain extent, she would be able to get out.

Zhu San came back quickly with the oil paper. There were already two steamed buns inside, so he knocked the other three together, "There are still two left in the steamer, give them to the girl as well." The shopkeeper wouldn't mind giving him two more steamed buns.

"Thank you very much." Soong Xintong put the buns aside and asked, "What's the owner coming over for?"

Zhu San didn't know either. Just as he was thinking about how to answer, he heard the shopkeeper's voice from the back, "The storekeeper is here."

The shopkeeper walked out of the back hall and clasped his hands at Soong Xintong. "Good morning, Miss!"

Soong Xintong looked at the sun hanging high in the sky and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you so early."

The shopkeeper stroked her hair but didn't circle around her. He looked at Soong Xintong's basket and said, "Miss, you're sending me Crooked Ear Root again?"

"Yes." Soong Xintong added, "I also brought a new dish. I don't know if the shopkeeper is interested or not."

The shopkeeper said, "Take it and take a look."

Soong Xintong pushed aside the leaves covering the dish, revealing the shiny, fresh, blood-red vegetable underneath. "This is the dish."

The manager asked, "What dishes are these?"

The common dishes on the Dazhou Market were a few cabbages, cucumbers, lotus flowers, white, etc. It was normal to not have seen the Bloody Vegetables.

Soong Xintong pointed at the Bloody Vegetables in the basket and said, "Shopkeeper, look at the surface of the dishes. They are purplish-red in color. As the name implies, it's called Bloody Vegetables."

"Bloody vegetables?" The shopkeeper and Zhu San both felt that the name was weird.

"Yes, eating this kind of dish often is good for the body. It has the effect of cooling the blood and removing virtual flames. If there is someone in the family who is weak, eating this kind of dish often is also very good." Soong Xintong explained.

"You talk a lot. How do I know if it's really that effective?" The shopkeeper had actually believed her for the most part. After all, he had asked for a doctor to test the Broken Ear Root. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as she said, it did have some effect.

The corner of Soong Xintong's mouth curled up as she said with a slight smile, "Manager, it doesn't matter if you believe me or not. As long as the customers of this restaurant believe me, won't it be fine?"
