Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 194:

Swagger

Shopkeeper Ding still had some doubts that a common farmer like this could have contact with a high-ranking official in the imperial court. After all, anyone could tell tall tales, and this girl might just be bluffing. He skeptically asked, "Is what you're saying true, Miss?"

Seeing their disbelief, Murong Lingran sighed and reluctantly took out the waistplate, shaking it in front of them. "Can this prove it?"

The faces of the three men changed abruptly.

"Yes, of course, it can."

"Miss is right not to lower the price."

"Absolutely, since it's the same price, then we can accept it."

After Shopkeeper Ding finished speaking, his back was already drenched in cold sweat. Fortunately, he had only considered this method briefly and hadn't implemented it yet. Otherwise, his Shunxin Tavern might have ended up in a loss.

Murong Lingran was very satisfied with their reactions. She quickly signed a contract with them. Of course, considering the large quantity they wanted, she followed her usual practice: they had to pay half of the silver for the next batch when they came to collect, and they agreed on the time for the next visit to avoid her losses.

Otherwise, if they worked hard to pick the vegetables, and they didn't show up to collect, she would suffer a big loss.

After leaving Lihua Village, Shopkeeper Jia sat in the carriage, looking at the just-signed contract with surprise. "I originally thought it was an ordinary farming family, but unexpectedly, there is such a powerful backing. No wonder they dare to do business so flamboyantly in the capital."

Shopkeeper Huang raised an eyebrow. "Old Jia, did you think of causing them trouble if they didn't have a powerful backing?"

"Nonsense." Shopkeeper Jia pretended to be angry. "Am I that kind of person?"

Shopkeeper Huang didn't say anything more, just smiled meaningfully.

How could a restaurant that stood firm in the capital not have some powerful backing? How could their hands be completely clean?

However, they were also extremely shocked by Murong Lingran. At such a young age, she remained calm and even wrote down several requests in the contract that only benefited her side. It made these old-timers admire her.

The two men looked at Shopkeeper Ding, who had a somewhat pale face, and tacitly smiled without saying anything.

Although the three of them managed different restaurants, they had known each other for many years. Just by looking at each other's expressions, they could roughly guess what the other was thinking.

After Murong Zong sent the three men back, he was puzzled. "A'Ran, I thought you wouldn't agree to the Shopkeeper of Shunxin Tavern."

Murong Lingran was happily counting the down payment and replied, "Big brother, do you see me as someone who hates our little uncle and everything related to him?"

Murong Zong was stunned, thinking he had misunderstood his sister. Just as he was about to explain, he saw her smile and say, "Of course, I am that kind of person. However, if money is delivered to our doorstep, why not take it? Appearance reflects the heart, and he might have had some bad intentions toward our family."

"But rest assured, with the intimidation of Ninth Young Master's waistplate, those three shouldn't dare to play any tricks. Moreover, by maintaining good relations with Shunxin Tavern, the future of our little uncle will be in our hands, won't it?"

As for whether Shunxin Tavern would be threatened by their little uncle in turn, she wasn't worried at all. Anyone who could manage such a large restaurant must not be easy to deal with.

Murong Zong couldn't help but rub her head. "A'Ran, you're really clever. It turns out you hit two birds with one stone just now."

After saying this, his expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "They will come to get the delivery of vegetables tomorrow. I have to go and instruct them quickly. If we really lack manpower, we need to hire more people."
