Chapter 424: Planning to Open a Shop in the Prefectural City

Old Master Liu had already eaten the can yesterday. He knew that the things that this girl from the Gu family had brought were definitely not ordinary.
He had come this time to discuss collaboration with Gu Yundong.
Coincidentally, Zheng Gang’s plan also had this intention.
“Boss, I’m thinking that the price of this canned fruit is not cheap. Most of the people who come to our shop to buy candy are servants of those families. Even if these people know that there are new things in Gu’s, they might not tell their master.”
After all, white sugar could not compare to clothes and jewelry. They would only know if they went over to try it themselves.
Buying five catties of sugar every day. Which rich family’s young master had nothing better to do and came here every day?
Moreover, these servants could not come to the master usually. Even if they knew that Gu’s had something called fruit cans, they could not convey it to the master in time.
Zheng Gang had thought of sending an invitation to the various families, but that would make it seem as if he was begging others to buy his things. This did not match what the boss said… positioning?
Thus, Zheng Gang thought of the Liu family’s restaurant. Coincidentally, the Liu family and his boss had a good relationship. Perhaps it was a mutually beneficial matter.
He did not expect to meet Old Master Liu on the way to Yongfu Village. The other party’s thoughts coincided with his.
Gu Yundong nodded. “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”
As she spoke, she suddenly turned to look at Old Master Liu. “Uncle Liu, I heard that you’ve also opened Jinxiu Restaurant in Xuanhe Prefecture?”
Old Master Liu was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud. “Why? Do you have enough goods here? Do you want to sell them in the restaurant over there?”
“I want to try selling them in the prefectural city, so that I’ll be confident when I open a shop there in the future.”
Old Master Liu pondered for a moment. “That’s true. I heard from Liu Wei that you’ve grown a lot of fruits. The workshop will also grow bigger in the future. This county city won’t be able to eat it. There are many big families in the prefectural city, so it can be sold for a high price. Alright, it just so happens that the restaurants in the prefectural city lack new products. Your cans come at the right time. However, you have to lower the price for me.”
“Of course.”
Gu Yundong’s price was 120 copper coins for a fruit can. Of course, that was the price in the county.
There were at least six or seven loquats and a lot of white sugar in a can. These two things were not cheap. Coupled with the labor transportation fee and the cost of the clay pot, the profit wasn’t much compared to white sugar.
The price in the prefectural city would definitely be raised. Regardless of whether the customers ate it or gave it as a gift, they would gain face.
Gu Yundong and Old Master Liu discussed the supply problem and quietly waited for the feedback from Jinxiu Restaurant.
Just one day later, Zheng Gang came again. The customers who went to the restaurant to eat were all unsatisfied. Then, they followed Old Master Liu’s guidance and ran to Gu’s. Each of them had a few jars without hesitation.
In less than half a day, the canned loquats that had been brought to the shop the day before were all snatched away.
Even Qin Wenzheng secretly came over to buy three big jars and said that his wife and daughter liked them.
However, Zheng Gang had sharp eyes. How could he not know that it was Mr. Qin who liked this?
Gu Yundong was also happy. In the following days, she asked Ah Mao and the others to bring the cans from the workshop to the shop and restaurant after they finished practicing every morning.
The supply problem in the shop was solved. Soon, it was Gu Yunshu’s birthday..
