The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 221 Determined to Sell

Seeing that her brother didn't understand, Wang Lin hurriedly explained, "Brother, why don't you understand? Although Aunt Xiaolan and Aunt Cuilian are our partners, our Xiangxiang Shop has many other snacks besides snail noodles. Wouldn't it be better if we let them make all these snacks in the future? They are already familiar with our business methods and flavors, and can better help us expand our business."

After listening to this explanation, Wang Jun gradually understood Shen Yan's plan. He began to realize that his sister's decision was not a simple giving up, but a longer-term consideration for future development. This made him admire and believe in his sister's business acumen even more.

Shen Yan was relieved to see that Wang Jun and Wang Lin understood her intention. She knew that this decision was crucial to the future development of Xiangxiang Shop, and she hoped that such an adjustment would bring a broader market and a more solid foundation to the shop.

After listening to her explanation, Wang Jun understood a lot instantly and seemed a little embarrassed.

Shen Yan changed the subject and said to Wang Jun: "Let's not talk about anything else. There is one thing I need to tell you first."

After returning home, Shen Yan put all the food bought from the town on the table and spread it out for everyone to eat together.

"Jun'er, I plan to move our shop to town. Do you know what this means?"

Wang Jun nodded: "Don't worry, sister. I will continue to study in the academy. Even if you are not here in the future, I can take care of myself. I am old now, so don't treat me like a child."

After hearing what Wang Jun said, Shen Yan felt very relieved and pushed the dishes in front of her towards the opposite side. "Jun'er has grown up and become more sensible, but there is no rush now. The shop is not yet ready. It may take several months for this matter to be finalized."

"That's fine." Although Wang Jun said this, he still hoped that his sister and younger sister would stay at home for a while longer. He was always reluctant to let them go.

On the other side, Chunyan had already hurried back home and found her mother as soon as she got home.

Old Mrs. Chen frowned, her eyes looking through Chunyan's as if looking for the answer. Having been setting up stalls on the official road for many years, she knew the closing time of each day, so her daughter's sudden action made her confused and uneasy.

"Chunyan, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with the stall?" Old Mrs. Chen bit her lower lip and asked with concern.

Chunyan shook her head gently, trying to calm her mother. "Mom, the stall is fine. Everything is fine. But I heard some news today and I want to discuss it with you."

Old Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at Chunyan with a little caution. "News? What news?"

Chunyan paused, and when she saw that Old Lady Chen's expression had relaxed a little, she said softly, "It's about Shen Yan. She plans to sell her own recipe for river snail noodles."

Old Mrs. Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't help but be moved when she heard the news. Shen Yan's snail noodles have always been very popular, and there are diners waiting in line every day. With such a good business, how could Shen Yan suddenly want to sell the recipe?

"This is no small matter." Old Lady Chen's tone was filled with suspicion and confusion. "What does Shen Yan think? Her business is obviously doing well."

Chunyan sighed softly, she knew her mother's doubts were justified. "Mom, I don't understand it either. But what she said is true, she wants to sell the formula for only ten taels of silver."

Old Mrs. Chen pondered silently for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"Girl, it's not that I don't trust you. I need to think about this matter carefully." She looked around and made sure no one was peeping before she said softly, "After dinner, we'll discuss it in detail. If this formula can really make money, we can consider buying it and then we can share the profits together."

Chunyan couldn't help but feel relieved when she heard her mother's decision. She knew that her explanation and persuasion had finally worked. "Thank you, mother." She smiled and looked at her mother gratefully.

Back in the house, Chunyan gently closed the door to ensure that nothing outside could interfere with their conversation. She took out a piece of paper and pen from her bag and began to describe her plans and ideas in detail to Old Lady Chen.

"Mom, I was the first to know this. We bought Shen Yan's recipe not only to make money, but also to make our business bigger and more stable." Her tone revealed her confidence and expectations for the future. "There are many people who eat snail rice noodles every day. Although the profit per individual is not high, it is a considerable number overall."

Old Mrs. Chen listened carefully, nodding from time to time, and a glimmer of determination gradually flashed in her eyes. Although this plan sounded risky, she had no doubt about Chunyan's confidence and her business acumen.

In the small but cozy house, the two women discussed the possibilities and opportunities of the future. Their hearts were closely connected, working towards the same goal.

"Besides, no one else knows about this. I got first-hand information. I think we have to pay to take this matter over. If it's too late, maybe others will know about it and snatch it away. You know, I heard from Shen Yan that she only sells one formula to each village to avoid vicious competition."

Chunyan actually wanted to start her own business, but she had no money, so she had to come back to discuss it with her mother.

The family has not been divided. If you want to do business, you have to ask your eldest brother's attention. However, the money earned by your eldest brother and his wife in the past few years has been handed over to the public and is in the hands of Old Lady Chen. If you want to set up a stall to do business, as long as Old Lady Chen agrees, this is the most important thing.

Old Mrs. Chen's fingers trembled slightly, and she stared at Chunyan in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe her ears. "Ten taels of silver? So cheap? This is impossible." Her voice was a little uneasy and doubtful.

Chunyan patted her mother's hand gently, trying to calm her down. "Mom, this is the first time I've heard this, but Shen Yan said it's true, and I believe she won't lie to me." She said with a firm tone, trying to convince Old Lady Chen to believe in Shen Yan's decision.

Old Mrs. Chen frowned. She thought of Shen Yan's current business. There were many customers every day. Her craftsmanship and secret recipes were recognized as impeccable. With such a good business, why would she want to sell the recipe? This question kept echoing in her mind.

"Girl, it's not that I don't trust you, but this is not a small matter." Old Mrs. Chen finally spoke, her tone full of concern and understanding. "If you want to do business, after dinner, I will discuss it with the eldest couple, and we can buy the formula together." Her proposal was both determined and implicit in her trust in Shen Yan.
