Chapter 112 Good things come in pairs (3)
Shopkeeper Hong frowned and thought for a moment, and felt that the requests raised by Xia Mo were acceptable. After all, compared with the production process and recipes that the other party provided to ask for help, his request was nothing.
Besides, even if they rejected the deal, he would still purchase maltose from them, just in different quantities.
Since the other party is willing to fight for it, and he himself is unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity easily, why not wait another day?
After much deliberation, Shopkeeper Hong finally decided to give both parties a chance, so he said seriously: "Then let's do as Mr. Liu said. If you can take over this business, we can discuss the deposit and other matters later."
Seeing this, Xia Mo raised the corners of his mouth happily, revealing a row of white teeth, and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you, Shopkeeper Hong, we will give you an answer as soon as possible tomorrow."
"That's good." Shopkeeper Hong laughed twice and said, "Then I will be waiting for your good news."
Xia Mo nodded. It would be a pity to miss such a big order, so they had to go back as soon as possible.
Because after they go back, they not only have to discuss this matter with Liu Yingying and the others, but they also have to write the recipes for the eleven dishes in advance, pay attention to which seasonings are missing, find substitutes first, and prepare the sauce that will be used tomorrow.
In short, time was very tight for Xia Mo, so he didn't plan to stay any longer, so he smiled and said to Shopkeeper Hong: "Shopkeeper Hong, time is very tight, we still need to buy some things, so I'll leave first."
Upon hearing this, Manager Hong agreed immediately, "Okay, okay, let's talk about it another day." He didn't want to delay the other party. After all, it would be better for him to go back earlier and discuss it earlier.
Xia Mo nodded and said to Ling Chuan, "Brother Ling, let's go," and the three of them walked out of the room together.
Because rice, flour, oil and other groceries are available in this grocery store, Xia Mo and his friends bought some here. Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Hong immediately gave them a discount.
So the couple paid the money and left in a hurry.
After that, they first pulled back the deposited ox cart, bought all the things they needed, and went straight home.
For the 600 kilograms of malt sugar, Xia Mo planned to ask Liu Yingying, Liu Yu and Qi for help first. As for the others, he would wait until there was a market for malt sugar.
In fact, Xia Mo also wanted to call Liu Zheng, but as the head of the village, he must care about his fellow villagers. It’s not that he would leak the matter, but he was afraid that he would have too high expectations. After all, it is not certain what this market will be like in the future.
Secondly, if this batch of sugar can be made, each of them would get about 20 to 30 taels at most, which is not a lot after deducting the cost.
Of course, these are just Xia Mo's rough budget. This is also the first time he has invited someone to do business together. The specific matters will have to wait until both parties sit down and have a good discussion.
So after they had a detailed chat on the way back, as soon as they got home, Xia Mo put the things in his hands on the table, and turned to Ling Chuan and said anxiously: "Brother Ling, let's go find Sister Yingying and the others now."
Ling Chuan was bending over to put something away. He looked up at him after hearing what he said. After staring at the boy's rosy face for a long time, he rejected him outright, "Eat lunch first, then go."
Xia Mo shook his head, "Let's discuss it first." He felt a little restless if he didn't find them first. Besides, he didn't know whether Sister Yingying and the others were at home. It would be a pity if he missed them.
Looking at the stubborn young man, Ling Chuan pursed his lips, stood up straight and stared, saying: "It's past noon, there's no need to waste this time."
Suddenly stared at by the man's focused and unquestioning gaze, Xia Mo hesitated for a moment.
"……OK then."
"Yeah." So good.
Ling Chuan's lips curled slightly. He walked to the boy in a few steps, then stretched out his big hand and rubbed the other's delicate and soft hair. "Let's go. We'll go together later. They are at home at this time."
Xia Mo's eyes turned, he looked away slightly and responded in a voice as thin as a mosquito, then let the other party's big palm do whatever it wanted to his head.
Alas, beauty is indeed misleading.
Staring at the boy's ears which suddenly turned red, Ling Chuan seemed to be tempted. His eyes darkened, and the big hand on the boy's head moved involuntarily to the back of his head, and then moved to the side.
Finally, the man's fingertips covered the tip of the ear, which had turned redder, and then gently pinched it. It was so soft...
Boom! Xia Mo's whole body was shaken.
His ears were a sensitive spot of his, and when they were suddenly caressed by the man's rough fingertips, he felt all the blood in his body rushing to his head, and then his entire ears felt hot as if they were cooked.
Very cute... Ling Chuan looked deeply at the little boy's face that wanted to hide, then swept his heavy eyes downwards, instantly locking onto the other's gorgeous lips, then suddenly lowered his head and did what he had wanted to do all morning.
"Hmm..." Xia Mo responded with difficulty, his saliva mixing with his stammering. Even though they had done this many times, his heart was still so excited that it seemed like it was about to jump out of his chest.
Gradually, Xia Mo could no longer stand, and his entire weight was transferred to the other person, so his hands unconsciously climbed up the man's neck and hugged him tightly.
Only after the long kiss was over did the man remove the big hand that was holding the back of his head.
Xia Mo leaned against his chest, panting a little. In terms of lung capacity, he was really no match for this man, so he took a long time to relax before backing away. "Ahem, let's go have lunch first."
"Yeah." Ling Chuan's Adam's apple rolled, and his low and hoarse voice was filled with depression, and his breathing was obviously a little unstable.
When Xia Mo heard this, he immediately became shy again. His eyes dropped, his face turned red with shock, and he said "I'm leaving first", then he ran away as if there were some jackals, tigers or leopards following him.
Seeing this, Ling Chuan smiled helplessly, then let out a long sigh.
There will be a big business to do next, and the young man will definitely be very busy. It seems that we will have to wait until we can lure the small fish to take the bait. Let's continue to boil the frog in warm water. Hmm... maybe we can add some heat.
Xia Mo didn't know that after he ran away happily, the man he had always thought of as a serious person secretly changed his plan because he couldn't bear to let him go. As for whether there would be a rebound in the future, it was hard to say.
After dinner, they originally planned to go to see Qi first, and then go to Liu Yingying's house. However, before they even left the house, Liu Yingying came to the door carrying a basket.
"Knock, knock, knock...Ze'er, are you home?"
"Yes, yes!" Xia Mo replied as he trotted out to open the door. He was extremely happy in his heart. It is true that it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.
"Sister Yingying!" Xia Mo said loudly as he looked at Liu Yingying who had come to him. His beautiful starry eyes were so bright that Liu Yingying raised her eyebrows for no reason.
There was no way. Ze Ge'er looked at her with such a burning gaze, just like Dafu who had been hungry for several meals in Sister Qi's house and suddenly saw a big bone in front of him... She couldn't ignore it.
As Liu Yingying thought about it, she raised her eyes and glanced at Xia Mo, whose eyes were shining. Perhaps her imagination was too vivid, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xia Mo, who didn't understand what was going on, saw her suddenly smile. He was already happy, so he blinked and smiled too.
