Chapter 1380: Chapter 1377: Going Out
“Lil’ Jin, how was it? How did business go today?” Chu Lin sat down in the chair next to him and poured himself a cup of tea.
Chu Jin shook his head, “It was okay, but today was just the opening day, so the inco was inevitably a bit higher.”
“The daily inco was about ten taels of silver.”
In the County City, that was definitely considered a high inco.
After all, it was daily inco.
“Is business that good?” Chu Lin was shocked, “I didn’t see many custors when I ca earlier.”
“Many custors ca in the morning, and the ones later were all new custors, so there weren’t many people.”
Chu Lin smiled and stroked his beard, “That’s good to hear. You’ve always been clever. Who would have thought of selling chicken in portions before?”
“Right, your aunt asked to speak with you. She wants to sell chicken wing tips at the food shop. Does she need to sign a contract with you?”
“If the food shop needs them, it would indeed be a large quantity.”
“But Uncle, you’ve actually reminded ,” Chu Jin put down his account book. “Common folks don’t buy much chicken or duck, and even if they do buy so, they don’t know how to cook it.”
“It might be a good idea to let the shop sell it. With more options for preparation, sales could be better in the future.”
“Uncle, how much does your shop need?”
“Just looking at the business, it should need at least fifty portions a day now.”
“Alright, I’ll inquire whether other shops need them too.”
After discussing with Chu Lin, Chu Jin left to handle the matter.
“Are you going personally?” Chu Lin was a bit surprised.
Chu Jin nodded, “Handling more tasks can also be a learning experience.”
“Alright, then go ahead and do it.” Chu Lin recognized his capabilities, different from an ordinary child, and he didn’t treat him like a typical young man. “But are you sure you want to do business? Your parents seem to prefer you to take the official circle’s path.”
“Uncle, don’t worry. I’m just doing it on the side without neglecting my studies,” Chu Jin gently shook his head as he explained.
“Then that’s settled.”
After that, Chu Jin left with Zhang Cong to talk business with the shops.
The business went smoothly.
After all, they were the only ones who could provide ingredients in batches. Like Madam Zhang’s food shop, not few bought portioned chicken wings and legs and prepared them separately for sale at the shop.
This proved that if the prices were kept a bit lower, quite a few custors could afford to eat it.
With such benefits seen, shopkeepers who had tasted these profits naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity.
They were also worried that if they didn’t make a decision soon, other shops might secure the business first.
Thus, things went particularly smoothly.
The grocery shop’s business beca increasingly stable.
Ti flew by, and soon it was the day the Chu family had arranged to et with the county magistrate’s family, the Du families, and others outside the city to fly kites and visit Deming Temple.
Chu Jin was called out by Chu Zhang and Chu Sheng.
Madam Wang and Madam Zhang were no exceptions, and they even called their children.
Chu Bo kept clinging to Chu Jin.
Just as they left Chu residence and reached the city outskirts, they stopped the carriage for a while, only to see the carriages of the other two families arrive as well.
“Cousin.”
“Xiang Ling’er.”
Hearing Chu Jin’s voice, Madam Wang and Madam Zhang proactively greeted Xiang Ling’er.
This ti, Xiang Ling’er was not only accompanying Old Mada Du but also brought along her three-year-old son.
Hearing voices, she opened the carriage window and greeted, “Big sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, Lil’ Jin.”
“Young Master Yun, greet everyone,” Xiang Ling’er lifted her son to greet the elders.
The child was young but spoke clearly and obediently greeted everyone.
