    Chapter 94: School Places an Order for Xia Yu Flower Candy

    After Pan Juan and Mo Yongjun left, another customer showed up at the stall.

    This customer was Feng Xiuyong, the deputy principal of Yaori International High School in City J.

    He had taken notice of the Xuehe stall on the very day its video was posted online. After all, it was a stall right in front of his school. If anything untoward really happened, the school might even be accused of poor supervision.

    His niece was also a student at Yaori International High School in City J. He had asked her, not really expecting much, if she knew about this stall. To his surprise, not only did she know about it, but she was also a member of this stall.

    Liang Erlan lavished praise on the delicious food from the Xuehe stall in front of her uncle. "Uncle, you'll regret it if you don't try it!"

    "Uncle, this candy was also bought from the Xuehe stall. Here, try some. You should only have one piece a day, and remember to eat it during the day or in the morning. Don't eat it at night, or you won't be able to sleep." As it happened, she had a few pieces of Xia Yu Flower Candy in her bag, so she gave them all to him to try.

    "Alright, alright, alright."

    Feng Xiuyong took the candy and ate one piece. The taste was quite good; he had never had candy with this flavor before. After eating the candy, he did feel more alert that day, but he put it down to having eaten well and slept soundly.

    Liang Erlan had even sent him the report from the stall's display stand yesterday. Based on the test report for Xia Yu Flower Candy in the comprehensive chart and his personal experience, he hoped that all the teachers and students in the school could get their hands on this candy.

    After a brief discussion with the principal, he hurried over. Fortunately, the boss hadn't gone home yet.

    Feng Xiuyong said, "Hello, Boss Jiang. I am Feng Xiuyong, the deputy principal of Yaori International High School in City J. I wonder if you have a moment. There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

    Jiang Yingxue said, "Hello, Principal Feng. Please, this way."

    The two sat facing each other at the Warm Crystal Round Table. Jiang Yingxue reached under the table and pressed gently. A compartment opened up on the table, and a teapot and teacups for entertaining guests emerged.

    Jiang Yingxue fetched the Warm Crystal thermos and Spiritual Flowers tea bags from the stall. With a few simple steps, she had the tea brewing.

    "Principal Feng, please have some tea."

    "Alright, thank you."

    "You're welcome." Jiang Yingxue made a "please" gesture.

    Feng Xiuyong picked up the teacup and took a small sip. His eyes and body gradually relaxed. He closed his eyes slightly and, two seconds later, opened them, praising, "Excellent tea!"

    Jiang Yingxue said, "May I ask what brings you to see me, Principal Feng?"

    Feng Xiuyong put down the teacup, his eyes showing more seriousness. He said, "Boss Jiang, well, it's like this. Your Xia Yu Flower Candy is very effective in refreshing the mind and improving concentration. It really helps the kids focus during class and aids their learning... I was wondering if you could supply Xia Yu Flower Candy for our school's teachers and students?"

    "Certainly."

    "This candy..." He was about to say that this candy would be truly beneficial for the teachers and students, but he paused mid-sentence. He had thought it would take a long time for Boss Jiang to agree, but she agreed so quickly. Feng Xiuyong's eager and amiable smile became even more apparent. "Ms. Jiang, regarding the price, I wonder if it could be a bit lower?" Although theirs was a prestigious school, they also admitted some top students from ordinary or poor families. Five hundred yuan might be nothing for wealthy students, but for students from impoverished families, it was a significant amount of money.

    "Minimum 350 yuan per box, but I have conditions."

    "Alright, please go ahead."

    "First, I only accept orders on a monthly basis. Second, your school needs to place the order for the next month one month in advance. Third, each student and teacher can only order one box at a time."

    These were the requirements Jiang Yingxue proposed.

    Xia Yu Flower Candy was sold at the stall for 500 yuan per box. Selling it to Yaori International High School in City J at 350 yuan was already a 30% discount. If there were no purchase limits per person, some might buy several or even dozens of boxes, which could lead to reselling to people outside the school. This was something Jiang Yingxue would not allow.

    Actually, 350 yuan per box wasn't the lowest price. The lowest price was in Taoxi Town, at 300 yuan per box.

    On the evening Jiang Yingxue issued the Rainbow Membership Cards, the principal of Taoxi Middle School had reached a cooperation agreement with Jiang Yingxue regarding Xia Yu Flower Candy. The terms of cooperation with Taoxi Middle School were the same as those with Yaori International High School in City J. Both were monthly orders, with each teacher and student limited to a maximum of one box per month.

    Feng Xiuyong readily agreed to the conditions Jiang Yingxue proposed. He said, "I accept these conditions. How about we sign the contract tomorrow at this time?"

    Jiang Yingxue said, "Agreed."

    A verbal promise is never as reliable as a written contract.

    "Well, Ms. Jiang, I'd also like to apply for a membership card."

    "Principal Feng, what color would you like?"

    "Red, for prosperity and good fortune. By the way, do you sell this tea?"

    "You mean the Soothing Tea we just had? Yes, we do. It's 3000 yuan per jin. How much would you like?"

    "Then give me two jin. I also want 2 Nutritional Boxed Meals." The taste of that Soothing Tea was truly excellent. He had been refilling his cup continuously and still felt its lingering fragrance. Especially after drinking it, he felt his mood had relaxed. The name Soothing Tea was truly fitting.

    His father-in-law also enjoyed tea. Buying two boxes, one to give to his father-in-law and one to drink himself, would be nice.

    "Alright."

    After seeing Feng Xiuyong off, a young female guest arrived at the stall, dressed in casual clothes—Cheng Huibai.

    Cheng Huibai had come again. This time, without Jiang Yingxue asking, she proactively mentioned wanting to apply for a membership card.

    She said, "Boss Jiang, what food is still available at the stall now?"

    Jiang Yingxue said, "Only the Nutritional Boxed Meals are left at the stall." There had been many customers today, mostly attracted by the official Weibo post to join the excitement. But their spending power was also good. It wasn't even 12 o'clock yet, and the food at the stall was almost completely sold out.

    "No more Xia Yu Flower Candy?" Cheng Huibai had planned to buy some for her younger brother.

    "None today, but there will be more tomorrow."

    Cheng Huibai said, "Then please reserve a box for me tomorrow. I'll pay later. How many Nutritional Boxed Meals are left?"

    Jiang Yingxue looked down and said, "6 servings."

    "I'll take them all."

    Jiang Yingxue thought of the Spirit Flower Wine sent for testing yesterday and said, "Ms. Cheng, have the results for the food sent for testing yesterday all come out?"

    Cheng Huibai said, "They're all out. The test report results are no different from the ones you had done at Guanhua. But these reports are evidence for our office work and cannot be given to you. I hope you understand."

    They indeed needed evidence for their office records. Jiang Yingxue expressed her understanding.

    After seeing Cheng Huibai off, Jiang Yingxue made a phone call to Tao Penghai. "Director Tao, are you at the company?"

    "No, I'm not. What's the matter? Is it about the test report?"

    "No, it's about a set of wine I have. I'd like to have it tested."

    "Ms. Jiang, I'm on Xiaohu Mountain. How about I come to collect samples this afternoon?"

    "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"

    "No trouble at all, none whatsoever! By the way, will this wine be for sale?"

    "It will be sold once the report is out."
