Chapter 10: Follow-through

Chen Yu didn't understand why she suddenly looked a little sentimental, and originally felt that there was no need to answer her question, but somehow, after seeing her lonely expression, he blurted out: "Actually, our Chen family is in the silk business, and this tea shop was given to my father by a friend of my father's when the plague broke out in the city more than a year ago, and their family left Suiyang City and went to the capital. My dad is a layman in tea, and he doesn't pay much attention to this tea shop, seeing that the business here is dispensable, he finally decided to sell it a month ago. ”

"I see. Chi Xiaoman cleaned up his feelings and asked with a smile: "So the mansion didn't sell it here because of a lack of silver, did it?"

"That's right. Chen Yu said with some amusement: "But the girl can't want to owe me three months of silver taels just because of this!"

Chi Xiao said without blushing and panting: "I don't want to owe it, let's be honest, I only have four hundred taels of silver tickets in my hand, and the reason why I bought it at a price of three thousand five hundred taels is because I am confident that I can earn so much silver in three months, of course, this still needs Chen Gongzi's consent." ”

Chen Yu pursed his lower lip, this girl is beautiful, but lying like this and not making drafts made him feel a little less good about her. And she never seems to have asked for his consent, right? Even though she didn't have enough money, she still offered 3,500 taels on her own, and now she asked him to agree to give her three months? This is not asking him to agree at all, she is forcing him, right? If he doesn't agree, today's bid will be in vain, and he will have to wait for the buyer to come to the door again.

"Alas, don't be like this, as if I have done something to you, anyway, you are not short of silver, why don't we have another discussion, you and I jointly open a teahouse, fifty-five accounts, how about it?" Chi Xiaoman patted him on the shoulder, looking like he would not be a mother-in-law if he was a man.

Chen Yu was amused and said: "Whether I lack silver or not and whether I am willing to have a joint venture with you are two different things, right? And you only have four hundred taels of silver to open a teahouse? I think you will honestly keep the silver as a dowry!"

Chi Xiaoman pouted and muttered, "Mother, I got married early, leave a fart dowry." ”

"What did you say?" Chen Yu asked as he looked at her with a frown. Seeing her little mouth moving and moving, I didn't hear what she said, shouldn't she be secretly scolding him?

"Nothing. Chi Xiaoman raised his head and smiled at him, "Have you heard of the Xiangmanlou of the Shengxing Dynasty?"

Chen Yu shook his head.

Chi Xiaoman sighed and said: "It is a very special teahouse, the business is quite good, I think the refreshments made are no worse than Xiangmanlou, and there are no special refreshments in Suiyang City, as long as the business is good, it is not difficult to make money." ”

Hearing her say so confidently, Chen Yu couldn't help but be interested, but still asked suspiciously: "Isn't it too small to rely on this shop to open a teahouse here?"

"The place is a little smaller, but it can be divided into internal use, take-out!" This she has long considered, here is different from Xiangmanlou, the place is small and naturally can not only rely on the guests for internal use, guests order a pot of tea, a plate of snacks, I don't know how long to sit, a few hours are possible, so that a day can not do much business, here mainly have to rely on outside guests.

"Tell me in detail, if you can convince me, I will agree to a joint venture with you. Chen Yu was finally lured out of the interest of the joint venture by her. He is indeed not short of money, on the contrary, when his father asked him to deal with this tea shop, his original intention was to let him change to something else, but he was not interested in opening a shop and doing business, so he wanted to sell the store directly, but he didn't want to meet Chi Xiaoman and disrupt his plan.

"To show my sincerity, I've got to show you something. There is no stove room here, and there are no ready-made ingredients, can I borrow a stove room in the house?"

"Let's go. Chen Yu didn't say whether it was good or bad, but these two words had already expressed his agreement.

Under her step-by-step inducement, it was difficult for Chen Yue not to take the bait.

Chi Xiaomanle followed him out of the Yongfu Tea Shop. (To be continued......)
