Chapter 118 I only hate that my wife can’t make money
"Today I went to the restaurant and saw one on the cash register. I also saw Shopkeeper Yu holding one. I was interested, so I asked about its origin. I didn't expect it was also made by Madam Jiang."
Jiang Xiaohe laughed: "Boss Meng, did you come here to buy two for your children to play with, or do you want to discuss cooperation?"
“Of course it’s cooperation!”
"Boss Meng, please take a seat here."
Jiang Xiaohe wiped a stool and asked him to sit down and talk in detail.
Meng Hetang lifted the hem of his skirt, sat down and said, "To be honest, my wife, my wife's family is in the county town doing this Bush silk business, and she is the one who is interested in your stuff."
"Oh?"
Wang Qiuxia brought some water, and Jiang Xiaohe placed it on the small table next to her: "We don't have any good tea leaves at home, so I can only treat you with plain water."
"I don't mind, I don't mind!" Meng Hetang picked up the water and took a sip thoughtfully.
"Originally, my wife was going to come today, but the children at home were naughty and she had to go back to take care of them, so she asked me to come and discuss this matter."
Jiang Xiaohe nodded, but she was also confused. After all, this thing was purely handmade. Anyone who knew needlework could buy one and make it. There was actually no need to come here specifically to discuss business cooperation.
Meng Hetang also saw what she was thinking.
"I know you have doubts in your heart, but what I want to say is that all these businesses are about seizing an opportunity. Instead of collecting this thing from you and finding someone to do it, I might as well buy it directly from you, right?"
Jiang Xiaohe smiled and gave a thumbs up: "I'm wondering how Boss Meng became the boss."
"Hahaha, Madam Jiang's words are so interesting."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Xiaohe and asked, "Madam, are you interested in discussing this deal with me?"
The people who were making puppets were all looking at Jiang Xiaohe.
Jiang Xiaohe said to Meng Hetang: "Then I have to ask my family, after all, this is everyone's business."
Meng Hetang made a gesture of invitation.
She stood up and walked in front of Zeng Hua and the others, saying bluntly: "Now Boss Meng wants to buy all the remaining dolls, so I came here to ask for everyone's opinions."
Everyone looked at each other, unable to make up their minds.
Jiang Xiaohe thought about it, and then expressed her thoughts to everyone: "What I'm thinking is that we can sell all of them to him, even at a lower price. Although we can sell them at a higher price if we sell them ourselves, there will definitely be people who have copied them next time we go to town..."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Xiao He, I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you say!" Zeng Hua said.
Chen Xiuqun also nodded: "Yes, I have no idea. I will listen to Xiaohe."
Seeing everyone say this, Jiang Xiaohe walked up to Meng Hetang and nodded, saying, "Boss Meng, my family and I have discussed it and we still say the same thing. As long as the price is fair and reasonable, there is no deal that cannot be done."
"Hahaha, Meng likes dealing with honest people like Madam Jiang."
Jiang Xiaohe rolled her eyes in her heart: I wonder who was not honest enough before and deliberately lowered his price?
But she still had a smile on her face, waiting for his next words.
"I heard from the waiter at the restaurant that this doll of yours sells for 100 wen in town for a small one, 150 wen for a medium one, and 200 wen for a large one?"
Jiang Xiaohe nodded.
Meng Hetang thought for a moment and said, "In that case, why don't you sell them all to me? I'll give you 50 for the small ones, 100 for the medium ones, and you can give me a discount of 120 for the big ones."
This profiteer!
Jiang Xiaohe smiled faintly: "Boss Meng always lowers the price so much every time he talks business with someone?"
Meng Hetang showed a trace of unnaturalness on his face: "Madam, if you think it's too low, you can name a price yourself and see if I can accept it."
Jiang Xiaohe didn't bother to talk nonsense with him and said, "The small one is 80, the medium one is 120, and the large one is 160. These are the prices in my mind. If Boss Meng can't accept this price, then this deal can't be done."
Meng Hetang frowned and asked tentatively, "Nothing to talk about?"
Jiang Xiaohe shook her head: "As you can see now, our costs are not low. The pattern embroidered on a puppet is equivalent to several handkerchiefs. Even the labor cost is not cheap."
Meng Hetang didn't say anything. He clasped his hands in front of his stomach, and made circles with his thumbs. He originally wanted to bargain like last time, but he didn't expect Jiang Xiaohe to directly bargain for the price. He hesitated in his heart, and roughly calculated whether the price was worthwhile. Finally, he looked at Jiang Xiaohe and said, "How about a discount of five cents for each type?"
Jiang Xiaohe: "I'll give you an extra two cents off for each type."
Meng Hetang took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, deal! Madam, you can count the quantity at home, I will pay you now and take it away immediately."
Jiang Xiaohe immediately asked everyone to stop what they were doing and start counting.
In the end, there were 258 in total, including 60 large ones, 80 medium ones, and 118 small ones.
In total, Meng Hetang had to give her 28 taels and 124 coins.
Seeing that they were all women and children doing this business, Jiang Xiaohe did not refuse a single penny and paid the money readily. The servant behind him carried the doll and went to the carriage, and everyone helped him carry the rest of the money to the carriage.
Meng Hetang bowed to Jiang Xiaohe and said, "My lady, if you have anything special next time, please remember me."
"must!"
As the carriage left, the villagers who were watching the fun gathered around.
"Zhang family, you guys are doing business with the big boss in town again."
"Yeah, what was in that load just now?"
Jiang Xiaohe didn't want to pay attention to these people in the village, so she turned and left. Wang Qiuxia smiled and said, "It's just a little business."
After saying that, he followed Jiang Xiaohe back.
When we reached the construction site, Wang Hong ran over and asked, "Cousin, have you sold everything?"
Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "They've all been sold."
Wang Hong was very happy and turned around to go back to work.
Back in the yard, Zeng Hua and Chen Xiuqun looked at Jiang Xiaohe and said, "Xiaohe, can you still do the rest?"
Jiang Xiaohe walked forward and nodded: "Why not? But we won't do it today. We can make some other styles later."
Everyone nodded and stopped what they were doing.
Jiang Xiaohe put away the home design she had just drawn and said to Wang Qiuxia with a smile, "Mom, didn't we buy flour today? It's getting late, why don't we make some dumplings together to celebrate the money we made today."
As soon as she said this, everyone in the yard, big and small, was happy.
Wang Qiuxia also smiled and nodded: "Okay, as you say, clean up the table and I'll go get the flour."
Zeng Hua went to his backyard and cut some leeks.
Wang Qiuxia kneaded the flour, Chen Xiuqun chopped the meat, and Jiang Xiaohe washed the bones she had bought during the day, threw them into the pot, added a full pot of water, and simmered them slowly. When the time comes, use the soup from the stewed bones to cook dumplings, which will be so delicious.
In the yard, the women were busy working and chatting at the same time. The atmosphere was as lively as that of the New Year.
Even those working on the construction site heard the laughter coming from their home.
When they heard that Jiang Xiaohe had just done a business deal with the boss in town, everyone was envious and hated that their wives couldn't make money.
