Chapter 150: Established Regular Clients

Gu Xiaoyao took the letter from Chu Chengjin's hands, flicked the paper open, and read through the contents with a glance at every three lines.

"We've got a big client."

The letter stated that the sender hoped she could deliver fifty catties of bean sprouts every day to the residence of the benevolent Mr. Jia in the city.

As for this benevolent Mr. Jia, the letter explained it in detail, and Gu Xiaoyao quickly understood that this was the master of the culinary maid who had purchased their yellow bean sprouts at the stall last time.

Standing nearby, Hong Gu looked at Chu Chengjin and let out a few regretful sighs inwardly.

So Xiaoyao's husband was actually this good-looking! It seemed her brothers didn't stand a chance. Even though she thought highly of her own brothers, when they were truly compared, her three brothers simply lost!

"Mr. Jia's household in the city wants fifty catties of bean sprouts every day. When we were in the city last time, I gave them a low price, but this time I'm going to raise it."

The bean sprouts she cultivated using her supernatural ability were completely different from ordinary bean sprouts; not only were they uniform in growth, but most importantly, they tasted delicious and were good for the body.

"Xiaoyao, how much did you sell the bean sprouts for per catty last time? Some people in my village have also used soybeans to sprout and sell them!"

Hong Gu followed closely by her side like a little tail, her mouth dropping open in astonishment upon hearing that someone wanted fifty catties of yellow bean sprouts every day.

Wouldn't that require a huge amount of soybeans every day? The soybeans in Niugeng Village were the finest around—did that mean Xiaoyao would have to come to her village every single day?

"The discounted price last time was tenwen per catty, but this time I'm going to raise the price to fifteenwen per catty."

Gu Xiaoyao stated her asking price with a calm expression. Hearing this, the people in the courtyard were so shocked that their eyeballs almost popped out.

Madam Liu, who had just returned from outside, felt her heart thump wildly, feeling as if her vision was already filled with the sight of copper coins.

"Fifteenwen? You aren't bragging, are you? That Mr. Jia isn't a fool, why would he be willing to shell out that much money?"

The two brothers, Chu Qingsong and Chu Qingbai, thought their mother's head was truly as stubborn as a rock. Since when did money-conscious people turn down quality, and why would wealthy folk mind paying a fair price?

"It must be because the bean sprouts sister-in-law grows caught Mr. Jia's eye, that's why he's willing to buy them!"

"Mom, if the bean sprouts sell well, won't we earn more money too? What is there for you to be unhappy about?"

Pushed by her two sons, Madam Liu finally snapped to her senses. Indeed! With the business going so well, she would have more money in her own hands—was she out of her mind to complain?

"Right, right. I walked around the village today, and the people who are willing to sell their soybeans have already agreed. They'll be delivering them shortly."

Gu Xiaoyao saw that everything was in place, with only the bean sprouts left to be produced. The bean sprouts currently in the utility room could last for another day or two.

"Xiaoshu, go to the kitchen and prepare the meal. Hong Gu and the others are staying for dinner tonight, so make it a bit more lavish."

She picked up a large wooden bucket, filled it with water, carried it into the room, and poured all the soybeans into it.

After soaking them overnight, she would scatter all these soybeans into the troughs tomorrow. With a little boost from her supernatural ability, the supply of bean sprouts for the coming days would be completely secure.

"Understood, Sister. I'm heading to the kitchen to cook right now. We'll have fluffy white rice tonight; I'll cook it in the iron pot so we get some crispy rice crusts, and frying those with lard will definitely taste amazing!"

Upon hearing that the bean sprouts would fetch at least tenwen per catty, Gu Xiaoyao's younger brother Gu Xiaoshu was so overjoyed he felt like jumping. If there hadn't been guests present, he surely wouldn't have been able to contain his excitement.
