Chapter 6: Searching for Secrets

What is it that makes such a high-ranking Liuniang sad and weeping? This question has been haunting Qing'er.

In the end, Qing'er couldn't stand the torture of curiosity and decided to find out.

In the middle of the night, everyone fell asleep, and Qing'er got up alone and hid in the courtyard, where others could not see.

No, it's been more than an hour, and there is no figure of Liuniang, could it be that Ying'er made a mistake, it shouldn't be! Wait a little longer...... It's already late at night! Forget it and go back to sleep! Wait, a figure walked by, yes, it's the figure of Liuniang! Qing'er quietly followed behind her......

It's broken, it's miserable! Qing'er thought to herself, and walked into the forbidden area carelessly! No outsiders are allowed here, except for Liuniang. Now that you've come in, don't you continue to explore to satisfy your curiosity, anyway, you can't be found in the middle of the night. Qing'er made up her mind and moved forward bravely!

I saw Liuniang turning around and entering a room. Qing'er quietly followed, lying outside the house to listen, watching what strange things happened next. For a while, the room was quiet, what was the situation? Driven by curiosity, Qing'er lay down in the crack of the door and looked in, oh my God, so many tablets were enshrined, and counted, "One, two...... "There are actually six ranks, Liuniang religiously incense, could it be that Liuniang's family has newly died, Liu Niang hides here every day and cries, it must be! Poor man!

Sure enough, Liu Niang knelt under the ancestral spirit and cried.

Wow, looking at this fierce eighth woman in this grief-stricken scene, Qing'er is really happy! Ha ha......

Liu Niang cried and cried, and when she spoke, she even cried and said, "Ancestor of the Ruan family! …… I, Ruan Liuniang, am incompetent...... The family business of my ancestors was ruined when it came to me...... I have lived up to the expectations of the ancestors, and I am ashamed of the Ruan family...... Back then, the ancestors of my Ruan family worked hard to gain a foothold in Chang'an...... Relying on the wisdom of the ancestors, he finally opened up a world...... Let Chaxiangju become the number one brand in Kyoto...... Chang'an's romantic celebrities, princes and magnates, who doesn't know our tea fragrance residence...... The ancestors of the Ruan family have worked hard and diligently, and have always maintained our nickname of the number one in the capital...... Since Liu Niang took over, she has been dreaming of sleeping at night...... Don't dare to slack off in the slightest, and do everything yourself...... However, why, why, our nickname is gradually replaced by others, and the business is declining day by day, and now, my Liuniang can no longer operate this tea fragrance house......"

Qing'er, who was standing outside the window and eavesdropping, gradually felt a sense of sadness welling up in her heart, and began to sympathize with this fierce and diligent woman. I forgot that she was usually fierce and mean to the girls.

Liuniang cried and cried, even if she was hard-hearted, she couldn't help but be moved by it and shed a few tears of sympathy.

Liuniang cried to Zu Ling again, "What should I do with Liuniang? How should I carry this thousand pounds of heavy beams...... The family business of my ancestors was defeated in my hands like this, how can I face the ancestors of the Ruan family! …… Please ask the ancestors of the Ruan family to punish me for being soft Liuniang...... The Ruan family's 100-year foundation ......"

At some point, Qing'er's eyes were full of tears. Qing'er thought of his father, who had been diligent and conscientious all his life......

"It's you!"

With a scolding, Qing'er came to her senses.

At this time, Liuniang was glaring at Qing'er viciously, the girl who broke into the forbidden area and eavesdropped on her secret.

Qing'er felt that she had committed a heinous crime, and Liu Niang must kill her with a quick expression.

Qing'er thought: I'm finished, it's all because I forgot to think of my father for a while, so I ...... What to do.

Qing'er smiled instantly and said, "Liuniang! Why are you here? I just got up at night and wanted to go to the toilet, but you got lost, so I ...... Then I'll go to the hut ......," he said, turning around, ready to go.

"Stop!" Liuniang scolded.

"Liuniang, what's wrong?" Qing'er smiled

Liuniang: "You broke into the forbidden land, and now you know everything......"

Qing'er hurriedly smiled and explained, "Liuniang, I don't know anything......"

Liu Niang stepped forward angrily, "You want to laugh at me, right?" Even you look down on me, even despise me, right? ”

"Liu Niang, I have always admired you! Admire you! How so, where do you want to go? Think about it more, think about it more, then it's okay I'll go first......" Qing'er smiled, raised her step, and wanted to go.

Liu Niang was furious, "Really? Put away your sycophancy, the old lady doesn't eat this set! As he spoke, he walked forward and got closer to Qing'er, "Since you have broken into the forbidden land and eavesdropped on the secret of our tea fragrance house, then you should follow the rules...... a terrifying smile appeared on his face.

Looks like you're going to punish me! What to do? What to do? Qing'er pondered.

"Liuniang, may I ask what are the rules of our tea fragrance house? Can you ......?" Qing'er smiled.

Liuniang looked at this Qing'er who made a mistake and wanted to escape, and thought to herself that she must know the price of making a mistake, otherwise how will she be powerful in the future, "Trespass on the forbidden land and break your arm!" Eavesdropping on secrets, thirty rods! It's the rule! Everyone has to behave! ”

Oh, my God! Broken arm one! You might as well kill me! Qing'er was so frightened that she almost fainted at the thought of becoming a cripple in the future. No, I don't want to break my arm, I don't want to break my arm...... My life has just begun......

"Liuniang, indeed, I heard your crying just now! Everything! You have no secrets to me! For me, I sympathize with you, I am touched by your behavior, you have been hands-on and conscientious for so many years, but I don't admire you. Do you know why? ”

Liuniang was angry, this dead girl dared to teach her a lesson, to see what she could say.

Qing'er said, "Do you know? This woman in front of you was once as happy as you! Her father is not inferior to your ancestors, but he is also a kind and loving father, and she is a happy and carefree lady! However, in an instant, she had nothing, she had lost her loving father, she had lost a qiē...... But she, she didn't have time to cry! She only thinks about the future, and only thinks about how to continue her life in the future! ”

I didn't expect this Qing'er girl to have some way to come, Liuniang thought.

Qing'er continued: "I also understand the current situation, and we have all seen your efforts!" The slump in business is also due to many reasons. You think, in this Chang'an Street, the famous people, princes and magnates could have drunk tea in their own homes, but why did they go to the teahouse to taste tea...... What is pursued is nothing more than the word "Ya". If we can give full play to the word "Ya", are we afraid that there will be no guests coming to the door? ”

Liuniang felt very puzzled, could there be any good way for this Qing'er girl.

Qing'er said: "Now, a peaceful and prosperous world! Guotai Min'an! Under the rapid development trend of the economy, it can be said that "it is better to have no food for three days, not to have tea for a day", of course, while the wind of "the drink of the whole country" prevails, people's requirements for tea tasting will be higher, and if you are not careful, elimination is inevitable. In order to achieve 'elegance', it is necessary to start from two aspects: first, the improvement of Chaxiangju itself, and second, the improvement of business strategy. ”

Liuniang asked tentatively, "How to improve?" How? You're coaxing, aren't you? You're trying to get away with it, so you're talking nonsense, aren't you? I sue you, don't think! ”

"Isn't it coaxing, do you think of it? I think you, who are shrewd and capable, have already discovered these problems, right? ”

"You've talked so much, so what are the odds of winning?" Liuniang plays a meticulous role in doing business.

Qing'er said: "Six or seven percent are sure! ”

Liu Niang hesitated for a moment and said, "Then in your opinion, do you think I will adopt your strategy?" Six or seven percent sure? ”

Qing'er said: "Liuniang, you may or may not be, in fact, I think it's better to ...... than to watch the remnants burn out and the afterglow cool It's better to give it a go!

Liuniang felt that Qing'er's words seemed to have some truth, and stepped forward, "In your opinion, how should Chaxiangju improve itself?" ”

"First, the girls should also learn the current novel way of making tea, which is not as good as the fashionable way of ordering tea in the south; Second, the improvement of our girl's own temperament allows customers to truly experience the "elegant" style; Third, the environment of the tea fragrance house, the layout of the environment is the most important; Fourth, the configuration of tea fragrant residence, such as tea bowls, etc., to maximize the satisfaction of customers to appreciate the elegance of porcelain; ……”

Liuniang: "In this way, it will cost a lot of silver,......"

Qing'er said: "If there is no giving, then there is gain?" ”

Liuniang: "Why are you helping me so much?" ”

Qing'er said: "If you ask me to help you, I must have one condition!" ”

Liuniang: "What conditions?" ”

Qing'er said: "In the future, I want to get 20% of the profit of Chaxiangju, otherwise it will ,......"

Liuniang: "Twenty percent? Are you crazy? ”

Qing'er said: "Since that's the case, forget it!" I don't have to worry about that! ”

"Good! Deal! Liu Niang said happily, as long as she can bring Chaxiangju back to life, what else is she reluctant to do.

Qing'er felt that the more refreshing Liuniang agreed, the more she felt the heavy responsibility.

Enwei is a combination of grace and power, and every shopkeeper knows how to strategize. Liu Niang immediately took out the prestige of the high, "If you succeed, you will take 20% of the interest and the punishment will be exempted; If you fail, you will be punished!

Then he talked about Chaxiangju's own improvement strategy, business strategy, and so on, and talked about it for a whole night. I didn't expect that with Qing'er's three-inch incorruptible mouth, a punishment was temporarily avoided, but next, how to go? Will it be successful? It's still a question mark in Qing'er's heart
