On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

Chapter 141 Consignment Fees

After leaving Dr. Zheng's pharmacy, the group went straight to Zhao's grocery store.

As soon as they stepped into the door, Zhao Shen came up to greet them warmly, "Sister-in-law, Brother Yunshan, please come in, but what do you need to buy?"

Song Xile shook his head and said with a smile: "We came here today because we want to discuss something with Brother Zhao!"

When Zhao Shen heard this, he asked the waiter to look after the store while he led a few people to the backyard.

Zhao Shen asked them to sit down first, and then said solemnly: "If you have any problem, just ask me. I will definitely help you if I can do it!"

Song Xile's smile became more sincere. "Brother Zhao, have you heard about the tooth powder that has become popular in the city these days?"

Zhao Shen nodded. "I heard that Renyitang launched tooth powder yesterday. Is this what my sister-in-law was talking about?"

He had a shop in this city, so he had some information and contacts.

Song Xile didn't beat around the bush. She took out a toothbrush from her eldest brother's backpack and handed it to Zhao Shen: "Yes, we came here today just to talk to you about this!"

"Renyitang's toothbrushes are now made by Brother Yunshan and his team. Once the tooth powder business in the city stabilizes, I want to find a fixed store to sell toothbrushes!"

"It's just that the profit margin is low, and it's not realistic to open a shop just for this. After thinking it over, I think this place is the most suitable for you, brother."

"After selling for the past two days, I see that the people in the city have a great demand for tooth powder, so the corresponding toothbrushes will not be difficult to sell."

"If Brother Zhao is willing to put this toothbrush on consignment in your shop, according to Brother Yunshan's current selling price of four cents per toothbrush, they are willing to give you a penny profit for each toothbrush sold. Brother Zhao, do you think this is feasible?"

Zhao Shen waved his hand and said, "Just put the stuff in my shop for consignment. Forget about the profit sharing. We live in the same village, so it's only natural for us to help each other. Besides, this toothbrush is very popular, so selling it here will also help to attract more people to my shop."

"As for the profits, there's no need to worry about it. This is the money that everyone has worked hard to earn. If it passes through me, it's meaningless!

Zhao Shen is a down-to-earth person, and like Master Zhao he is a very kind and righteous man. He is willing to provide convenience to his fellow villagers.

Song Xile was unwilling to take for granted the convenience given to him by others.

She insisted: "We can't not charge any fees. This is not something that can be done in one or two days. If the toothbrush business is good, it will take one or two years!"

"As the ancients said, brothers should settle accounts clearly. Brother Zhao means well, and we are all grateful. However, this business is not something that can be done overnight. After a long time, it would be uncomfortable for anyone to let Brother Zhao take care of it for nothing."

The human heart is the most unpredictable. Maybe people at the moment are genuinely willing to help, but who can do something that brings no benefits for years?

If you get things for free for too long, even the best relationship will become strained. Instead of harboring resentment towards each other, it is better to promise benefits to the other party from the beginning. This way, everyone will benefit from it. Only in this way can the relationship last longer!

Chen Yunshan also nodded in agreement, "My sister-in-law is right. I know you are a sincere person and don't want to care about these things, but it's not good for me to work in vain!"

Zhao Shen was touched by their words. At the moment, he really just wanted to help his fellow villagers. However, as time went by, whether his original intention would change or not, even he himself didn't know.

He thought about it, took a step back and said, "This thing has a small profit margin, and the villagers earn their money through hard work. How about this, I will only charge a consignment fee. If you can't sell 100 pieces a month, I won't charge you the consignment fee. If you sell more than this number, I will only charge 100 coins."

"Besides, if you sell your toothbrushes in my shop, it will also bring popularity to the shop, and I will also benefit from it."

"In that case, thank you very much!" Song Xile thanked.

Chen Yunshan was also very grateful. He patted Zhao Shen on the shoulder and invited him with a smile, "Come to my house for a drink some other day!"

Zhao Shen agreed readily.

After discussing the business, they were about to leave. Before leaving, Song Xile took another box of tooth powder from his brother's backpack and put it on the counter. "I forgot about it because I was busy talking about something. You might as well take it back and try it. It's great for cleaning your mouth!"

Without giving the other party a chance to refuse, Song Xile put down the tooth powder, pulled his elder brother out of the shop.

When Zhao Shen wanted to chase him, the man had already disappeared around the corner.

Zhao Shen stood at the door of the shop, watching the three people leaving, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This girl is very worldly-wise, and he quite admires her calm attitude in dealing with people.

Every time he came into contact with her, he felt comforted. Thinking of the eldest wife of the Chen family who had always been at odds with his family, Zhao Shen felt happy!

His father was right. They missed such a capable girl without knowing it. They will regret it in the future!

Coming out of the Zhao family's grocery store, Chen Yunshan asked, "Sister-in-law, are we going home now?"

Song Xile shook his head. "Brother, go back first. You still need to rush to make a batch of toothbrushes and send them to the city today. Brother and I still have to go to the meat market again!"

Song Ping also nodded, "Don't worry, Brother Chen, I will take my sister back later!"

After hearing what he said, Chen Yunshan no longer had any concerns. "Then I'll go back first!"

After the people left, the two men went to the meat market.

Although the two arrived late, there was still a lot of meat in the meat market.

As soon as Song Xile stepped into the meat market, greetings came one after another.

"Madam, would you like to buy some meat? I just killed this pig today, it's very fresh!"

"Madam, would you like to buy some pork fat? I have some pork fat here!"

Song Xile thought about how hard her parents had been working lately, cultivating so many fields, and her family would definitely not be willing to buy meat, so she planned to buy more and let her eldest brother take it back.

Song Xile was attracted by the stall owner's enthusiastic greeting. She stopped, walked up to the stall owner, and asked, "How much is this pig fat?"

When the stall owner saw her stop, he immediately introduced enthusiastically: "Madam, my pork fat is just picked this morning, it is very fresh, and the price is fair, only fifteen cents per pound."

Song Xile nodded, picked out two pieces and handed them to the stall owner: "Then these two pieces, please weigh them for me."

The stall owner took the pork fat, put it on the scale and weighed it, then smiled and said to Song Xile: "These two pieces of pork fat are exactly one and a half pounds, you just need to give thirty cents."

"Weigh me another five pounds of pork belly, and cut it into two portions for me, please. Also weigh me six ribs!"

When the stall owner saw Song Xile buying so many things at once, a smile immediately appeared on his face and his hands kept moving.

Song Ping tugged at his sister's sleeve and said, "The weather is so hot, you can't store all the meat you bought!"

Song Xile leaned close to his brother's ear and whispered, "Brother, take some back later. It's hard work to till the soil. Give it to everyone!" Then he turned around and asked the stall owner, "How much is it in total?"

The stall owner smiled and said, "Five catties of meat, seventeen cents a catty, a total of eighty-five cents. Six ribs, five catties and eight ounces, ten cents a catty, a total of fifty-eight cents. Add the lard just now, and you will have to pay one hundred and seventy cents!"

Song Xile thought about it and it seemed to be cheaper than last time.

Song Xile nodded, paid the money without asking any questions, put the food in his eldest brother's backpack, and took his eldest brother away.

Song Ping advised helplessly: "My brother-in-law will need to spend money on many things after his studies. You know how filial you are to your parents. Don't spend money like this next time!"

Song Xile pulled his elder brother affectionately and nodded obediently, showing that he just can't change despite repeated admonitions!
