The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 227

He must have done some homework in private, so this deal will most likely be successful.

And it wasn't Shen Yan who was eager to do business, but Mr. Zhang originally wanted to buy her formula, and the specific details had already been discussed.

Mr. Zhang's wife was very generous and directly took out ten taels of silver, then asked Shen Yan to take out paper and pen to write a document. Wang Jun watched from the side and wrote down everything that should be written on the document, as well as the deed, which marked the place where Mr. Zhang would set up his stall in the future.

Next, Shen Yan talked to them about some prices for purchasing upstream raw materials, which were all written on the document. Both parties pressed their fingerprints, and the deal was done.

Although Mr. Zhang and his wife are not very literate, they are very careful in their work. Shen Yan was afraid that they could not understand the recipe, so she asked them to stay here at noon and watch the process of making snail noodles. It was a good opportunity to teach them in person, which was better than figuring it out on their own.

Now, Chunyan couldn't sit still anymore. She originally wanted to buy the formula and sell it on her own. Seeing that Shen Yan had already sold one copy of the formula, she was naturally a little anxious.

She wanted to talk to her mother, so she looked outside the door from time to time, and finally found Old Mrs. Chen.

When Old Lady Chen was setting up her stall, she was next to Shen Yan, so the two had known each other for a long time. Moreover, Chunyan had been here all morning. When Old Lady Chen came, Shen Yan was not very surprised. After asking about her purpose, she repeated what she had just said to the couple, and Old Lady Chen quickly agreed.

Because Shen Yan always sells rice noodles and ingredients at the same price to everyone, and he doesn't discount people based on their personalities.

So she immediately signed the document with Old Lady Chen, and Old Lady Chen and Chunyan also gave her ten taels of silver. It was another happy scene.

Unexpectedly, she sold two recipes this morning. Shen Yan was quite happy inside and planned to make preparations for the future. Since she wanted to sell ingredients, she still had to collect fresh bamboo shoots, cowpeas and other raw materials.

Originally, she said that the bamboo shoots she stockpiled could be used this summer, but if she stops making snail noodles in the future and starts providing raw materials to these merchants, she will definitely use more bamboo shoots. After all, it takes time to collect fresh bamboo shoots and pickle them into sour bamboo shoots.

Soon after the news of Shen Yan's purchase of fresh bamboo shoots was released, it caused an uproar.

At the same time, Shen Yan called Sister Xiaolan and Li Cuilian to help harvest bamboo shoots, and also told them the news that the shop was going to be moved to the town, as well as her future plan for operating the snail noodle franchise.

When Sister Xiaolan and Li Cuilian heard the news, expressions of joy and anticipation showed on their faces.

Not only were they happy about Shen Yan's decision, thinking it was a wise move, they were also excited about the new possibilities of living in the town in the future. After all, there were many people in the town, and there wouldn't be as many rumors as in the village. Shen Yan would definitely be happier there.

Sister Xiaolan asked with concern: "Sister Yan, have you already chosen a shop to move to? It's not cheap to open a shop in town. It costs at least four to five taels of silver every month."

There was a hint of worry in her tone, because she knew that the cost of living and competitive pressure in the town were not to be underestimated, especially for a newly opened store.

Shen Yan smiled slightly and shook her head soothingly: "There's no rush for these, Sister Xiaolan. I haven't booked a shop yet, so everything will take its time. Let's finish the things at hand first, and then consider the next plan."

Li Cuilian listened silently. She had some doubts in her heart, but when she saw Shen Yan was so optimistic and decisive, her inner uneasiness gradually eased.

She knew that Shen Yan was a decisive and far-sighted person and would not easily make the wrong decision.

Shen Yan continued, "After we move to the town, we will first solve the location and rent issues of the shop, and then discuss the decoration and business details of the shop. I have already thought about how to open a franchise store for snail noodles, and I will definitely make it famous in the town."

As she spoke, she looked into the distance and saw the lingering afterglow in the sky, her heart filled with confidence and expectations for the future.

"I called everyone here today just to ask you two if you are willing to go to the town with me?"

Shen Yan will need reliable people to help her in the future, but she cannot force Sister Xiaolan and Li Cuilian, after all, the two of them have families in Wangjia Village.

Li Cuilian was a little embarrassed and then refused bluntly.

"Sister Yan, I'm afraid I can't. My husband has difficulty walking. I can take care of him when I set up a stall in the village. If I go to town, I can't run back and forth every day. But I promise, Sister Yan, if you need my help in the village, just say the word and I will come right over."

Li Cuilian also knew her own abilities. She didn't have much skill. She could only steam buns and make some rice noodles, which she could sell at a stall in the town to make a living. If she went to the town, she really didn't know how she could help.

She didn't have too many aspirations. She just hoped to save some money by setting up a stall so that she could send her son to school and save some dowry for her daughter. That would be enough.

Shen Yan nodded: "In that case, Aunt Cui Lian, I have something to trouble you with. After I franchise the snail noodle restaurant, I will definitely need a lot of sour bamboo shoots and rice noodles. You will be responsible for these raw materials."

To be honest, Shen Yan didn't have many people she trusted in this village. The only people she could confide in were Li Cuilian and Sister Xiaolan, so she planned to give full authority to Li Cuilian regarding the raw materials.

Although Li Cuilian is just a peasant woman, she is also independent-minded. If you entrust things to her, she will do her best.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this request, Li Cuilian was a little surprised: "This, Sister Yan, you trust me so much, but can I do it?"

Although she is good at making rice noodles, she has never made the other ingredients. She just watched Shen Yan make them herself. How can she guarantee that the taste will be the same in the future if she doesn't have any experience?

Shen Yan trusted her very much: "Don't worry, you can do it. I recently bought a large number of sour bamboo shoots and cowpeas. You can come earlier during this period and I will teach you step by step."

When Li Cuilian heard this, her eyes lit up. She could learn a new skill in this way, so she went home happily soon.

Shen Yan smiled as she watched her leave. Seeing this, Sister Xiaolan said, "Sister Yan, so you have made up your mind to leave?"

"Yes." Shen Yan nodded with a smile. "Although I am leaving, it is good to hand over the snail noodle business to the people in our village. This way, the whole village can have a livelihood. Every household may not become rich, but it is better than working hard. By then, the snail noodle business of Wangjia Village will become the characteristic of the whole town, and it will be unique in the whole town."
