Chapter 35: Xu's Teahouse
"Madam, the matter of flowers has been solved," Xu said miserly, "the shopkeeper Sun in the north of the city can provide a large number of flowers and dried flowers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"And dried flowers?" Meng Zhining's eyes lit up.
She had forgotten that dried flowers were needed to make sachets and everything, and the price of dried flowers was much cheaper than that of flowers.
Ancient flowers and honey are not as expensive as modern ones, and a lot can be bought for a few dollars of silver, and the cost is directly reduced.
"But ma'am, until now, I don't know what you're selling."
I forgot to tell him this, Meng Zhining took out a little osmanthus dipped in honey and said, "This is it." ”
"This thing ......" Xu Qi picked up a little and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, "Isn't this osmanthus?" ”
Meng Zhining scooped a spoonful and put it in the cup: "This is indeed osmanthus, but I have processed this osmanthus and soaked it with honey, it tastes much better to make tea with this thing, you can sell some today, and then soak it with honey for a night, and it will open here tomorrow." ”
Xu Qi stared at the cup in front of him: "Madam, but can this thing really be sold?" ”
Meng Zhining said: "Believe me, tomorrow you don't sell more, just sell fifty cups, one or two silver per cup." ”
"A tael of silver?" Xu Qi frowned, "This price is too high." ”
Meng Zhining smiled: "It's not high, this tea is the only one in the entire capital, and there are only fifty cups of tea every day." ”
A cup of silver or two may be expensive outside, but what kind of road is this road? This is Mellow Red Road, and the price of many wines in Mellow Red Road is more expensive than this tea.
"You sell it like this for a few days, and in these days, if someone buys these dried flowers from you, you say you won't sell them, but you can give them a little bit, and then sell them all after a month."
Xu Qi listened to the reason, and couldn't help but admire Meng Zhining a little.
He originally thought that this was a lady of a certain family who was bored and came out to do business, but he didn't expect her to be serious.
"One last thing." Meng Zhining then remembered one more thing: "Is this money earned......
Xu Qi immediately said: "Madame, as long as it is enough for me to eat and drink every day." ”
Meng Zhining smiled gently: "That's it, let's get five or five points, but these five points are not so easy to get, you have to keep it a secret for me." ”
"Madame is generous."
Meng Zhining had already thought about it, Xu Mi helped her do things, she had to give her some benefits, after all, she couldn't completely trust others, and Xu Mi was the one who knew everything about her, so she could only use the silver to let others keep secrets temporarily.
The next morning, Xu's Teahouse on the south road of Mellow Red Road was officially opened, and Xu Mi bought three taels of silver honey and dried flowers according to what Meng Zhining said last night, and soaked them together at night.
And he also made use of his previous connections, as soon as the Xu Teahouse opened, it was lively and lively, and there were more people around than Yichun Courtyard at the intersection of Mellow Red Road.
Qian Yumeng and Meng Zhining sat in Qianyu Courtyard with melon seeds, and Mingyue poured boiling water for them.
"Do you know that there seems to be a teahouse opening today?" Qian Yumeng took a sip of tea and said.
Meng Zhining knocked on the melon seeds, looking like she didn't know anything: "Today? How did I not know? ”
Qian Yumeng continued: "I seem to have heard from the princess, the princess happened to encounter this incident when she happened to go to Mellow Red Road with the princess in the morning. ”
Meng Zhining smiled, she didn't expect that the first day of the pit was Yan Xiling and Liu Ruyan's money, she said that she was very happy.
"And then?" Meng Zhining wanted to know what happened next.
Qian Yumeng said: "I am willing to give up a cup of tea for one or two silvers, and now that the account book is given to the princess, the entire backyard is a little messy." ”
"Really?" Meng Zhining has been in Qianyu Courtyard, and she has a monthly money of five taels of silver per month, so she doesn't know what happened in the backyard at all.
Qian Yumeng said lightly: "The expenses of this backyard are too big, and yesterday Qiu Siyuan used up a thousand taels of silver in one day. ”
Meng Zhining: "......"
I haven't seen a loser or a loser, and the expenses of one day have reached one thousand taels of silver, so will the entire palace be hollowed out by Qiu Siyuan in the future.
But this is Yan Xiling's decision, and she can't control it.
There is nothing bad about becoming a concubine, except that there is a little less silver, there are not so many things, and it is much easier not to take care of the accounts and not be pulled by Yan Xiling to participate in all kinds of hunting.
And she's almost used to the lack of meat at the meal...... Think of it as losing weight.
Qian Yumeng and Meng Zhining chatted until the evening before going back, Meng Zhining stretched her waist, and was about to go back to the courtyard when she saw a little maid quickly climb over the wall and enter the Qianyu Courtyard.
This posture of climbing over the wall is more skilled than Meng Zhining and Ming Yue.
"Madam, this is what Shopkeeper Xu asked me to give you." The maid held a white purse in her hand and handed it to her.
Meng Zhining weighed it and knew that it contained silver, she stuffed a few pieces of broken silver into the little maid and said, "How does your shopkeeper know that I am from the palace?" ”
The little maid took the silver and said, "Because the lady has the mark of the palace on her purse." ”
She had forgotten that her purse had the mark of the royal palace.
"Next time, it's good to ask your shopkeeper to come and deliver it once a month, it's quite troublesome to go back and forth every day, and it's easy to be discovered."
"Yes, ma'am." The little maid quickly climbed over the wall and went out.
Meng Zhining breathed a sigh of relief, straightened her clothes, and then returned to the room.
At this time, Yan Xiling was in her yard again.
Meng Zhining called it a headache, what is going on today, everyone suddenly appeared like a ghost, is this the rhythm that scares people to death?
And this is still a great god.
Meng Zhining stuffed her purse into her pocket before saying, "What is the matter with the prince coming here?" ”
"It's okay, I'll come and see you."
Hehe.
I beat her to death that day, and now I'm pretending to be a good person.
I saw Yan Xiling looking around, and kept looking at the things above her room.
"Lord Wang, are you looking for something?" Meng Zhi smiled but didn't smile.
"It's fine." Yan Xiling squeezed his hand and left.
I didn't take any medicine today.
Meng Zhining pulled off the golden hairpin on her head and returned to the room, where a person jumped off the beam.
"Ahh
Xu Yi hurriedly covered her mouth: "What are you shouting?" ”
Meng Zhining patted her chest: "It's strange that you suddenly jumped off the beam of the house and weren't scary." ”
Who would be bored to hide from someone else's beam.
Xu Yi threw her the familiar oiled paper bag: "If you don't want to eat roast chicken, just say it." ”
She squinted her eyes and smiled, "I didn't say it, but you don't always come to my yard just to deliver roast chicken." ”
Nibbling on roast chicken, Meng Zhining's brain has not yet become a chicken brain.
Xu Qi smiled harmlessly: "Do you think I will do anything?" ”
Squatting on someone else's beam every day, who knows what it will do?
Xu Yi still smiled gently.
