119 Means
The waiter pretended to be confused. “How would I know what’s wrong with you? We agreed that you would supply no more than a hundred egg yolks a day, no less than thirty. It’s only been a few days, and you’re already going back on your word?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Your ability to accuse others is really unheard of! When did I agree to supply you every day? Do you have evidence?”
“You!”
Manager Sun had been careful when he discussed cooperation with Su Xiaoxiao.
The two sides were competitors. He was worried that Su Xiaoxiao would supply the bad salted egg yolks to Jin Ji and keep the good ones for herself. Therefore, he decided to try out the arrangement for a while to confirm the quality of the supplied salted egg yolks before signing an official purchase document with Su Xiaoxiao.
Therefore, Jin Ji could not furnish any contract to ask Su Xiaoxiao for supplies. Otherwise, they would have gotten her to compensate for the huge breach of contract.
The waiter left dejectedly.
“Shopkeeper He, they won’t agree to resume the supply.”
In the room on the second floor, he related the conversation with Su Xiaoxiao honestly. He did not add fuel to the fire, mainly because it was not worth it. Su Xiaoxiao’s original words were enough to anger him.
The day after tomorrow was Minister Qi’s birthday banquet. They had to get the ingredients tomorrow night at the latest.
Manager He’s expression changed.
The waiter probed, “Why don’t we use force?”
Manager He rolled his eyes at him.
If using force worked, it would have worked yesterday. He would not have to see the annoying siblings this morning.
After saying that, the waiter realized that he had said something wrong. The people they had sent out came back injured and swollen. Everyone was crying. Acting tough would not work.
He said awkwardly, “Why don’t we buy it elsewhere?”
Manager He looked at him as if he was a fool. “Other places? Do you mean the capital?”
It would take him ten days to half a month to reach the capital from here. By the time he bought the salted egg yolks, it would be too late!
“This won’t do and that won’t do. What should we do?” The waiter was completely helpless. After following the shopkeeper for so long, this was the first time he had encountered such a headache.
“Buy them from her!” Manager He said.
“Buy… salted egg yolks?” The waiter asked uncertainly.
Manager He asked impatiently, “Who would want salted egg yolk alone? I can guess that something is wrong!”
The waiter widened his eyes. “Buy a whole salted egg? That’s expensive, right?”
Manager He used the lid of the cup to stir the tea leaves in the tea bowl. “It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive or not. It’s fine if we make a small loss. Most importantly, the Qi family’s birthday banquet must be foolproof!”
The waiter said bitterly, “She has to agree to sell it… ”
Manager He said calmly, “Just don’t let her know that we bought it.”
… .
Downstairs, Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou had finished closing the stall. The two of them carried baskets on their backs. Su Ergou grabbed an Ergou pancake and ate it heartily.
“Sister, are you really not going to take a bite? It’s very delicious! Your Ergou pancakes are getting better and better!”
Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists. “You eat it. I want to continue losing weight!”
The meat pancake was very heaty and contained sugar. It was easy to whet one’s appetite and one would not be able to stop eating it.
“Let’s head back,” she said.
“Yes!” Su Ergou nibbled on the pancake and nodded vaguely.
“Miss! Miss! Please wait!”
A woman with a white jade hairpin waved at Su Xiaoxiao and walked over.
She was in her early forties. She had a kind face and was dressed simply. The material of her attire was not bad.
“May I ask what’s the matter?” Su Xiaoxiao asked politely.
