Chapter 198: Cooperation
After Ruqing and Shen Ya comforted Qin Shuang'er in the cemetery, they explained their intentions to her.
Hearing that An Xiabai had something to discuss with her, Qin Shuang'er looked anxious: "Since it is Mrs. Lu who wants to invite me over, it must be something important on her side, this must not be delayed, let's go quickly." ”
An Xiabai is her benefactor, if it weren't for her help, Qin Shuang'er felt that her life might not be saved, so she was particularly concerned about her affairs.
She didn't even return home and left with them. 、
The group came to the restaurant, and after learning that An Xiabai had returned home, they hurried to Lu's house.
"You sit down first, I'll go and invite Xia Bai out." Ruqing's bold temperament was fully displayed after the knot in her heart was untied, she took Qin Shuang'er to the living room, and after the person sat down, she turned her head and was about to ask An Xiabai to tease the child in the backyard.
"Someone has already gone." Qin Shuang'er also had a good impression of her, "You don't have to be busy, just sit down first." ”
Because of her apprehension, after Ruqing sat down, Qin Shuang'er immediately asked An Xiabai why she invited her over.
The worry on her face was undisguised, and Ruqing looked quite amused.
Ruqing's hand patted her on the shoulder, and said softly: "You don't have to be afraid, Xia Bai's temper is not something you haven't seen?" People are good, I guess I want to talk to you about cooperation today, and it will definitely not hurt you. ”
Qin Shuang'er nodded apprehensively.
In order to relieve her nervousness, Ruqing can be said to have done her best.
She kept telling her interesting stories she had heard when she was wandering, which made Qin Shuang'er smile.
Speaking seriously, she didn't notice that Shen Ya not far away was staring back and forth with a complicated gaze.
An Xiabai saw this scene as soon as he entered the door, and while he was emotional, he was also happy for Shen Ya and Ruqing.
It turns out that there are still thousands of possibilities between the two of them.
"I'm coming." An Xiabai said hello with a smile, and then walked in with the herbal tea he had just brewed, "I was busy making tea in the kitchen just now, and I was really a little upset to neglect the guests." ”
Shen Ya and Ruqing are both friends of An Xiabai, so the guests in her mouth must be talking about herself!
Realizing this, Qin Shuang'er stood up directly from her position: "It's okay, it's just a matter of waiting for a while, it's okay left and right, don't delay time." ”
Her somewhat shy reaction made An Xiabai couldn't help but laugh, pressed the person back, and then poured her tea.
Shen Ya and Ruqing both behaved very naturally, but Qin Shuang'er was very restrained, holding the tea but refusing to drink it: "I don't know what happened to Mrs. Lu asking me to come over today?" ”
Because of her apprehension, Qin Shuang'er was very flustered when she rushed over all the way.
An Xiabai told her with a smile: "The main thing is to tell you about future cooperation." ”
An Xiabai opened a restaurant, he can't cook and make wine, and he doesn't know how to run a restaurant business, what can An Xiabai get by cooperating with him?
Qin Shuang'er couldn't think of an answer, so she subconsciously glanced at An Xiabai, suspecting that the so-called cooperation in the other party's mouth was mainly because of kindness.
An Xiabai must have felt that he was having a hard time alone, so he wanted to help in some aspects.
An Xiabai didn't know anything about the twisting thoughts in her heart, she just pointed to the teacup in Qin Shuang'er's hand and asked her to try the taste of tea first.
"This way, you must be tired, it's better to have a cup of tea first, it's better to talk about important things later."
Qin Shuang'er didn't have any doubts, and after taking a sip of the teacup, her eyes lit up slightly.
"This tea tastes so good, it's so special."
An Xiabai asked her with a smile: "What's so special about this tea?" ”
Qin Shuang'er said crampedly: "The taste of this tea is the same as the tea outside, not only has an extremely light fragrance, but also gives people a cool feeling. I was tired and tired when I was on the road just now, but I felt much more relaxed after drinking tea. ”
Qin Shuang'er praised that tea may be a life-saving remedy for the sultry summer heat.
"I didn't expect Shuang'er to be so good at tea tasting." She praised it from the bottom of her heart.
This made Qin Shuang'er feel embarrassed, and said nervously: "After all, I have grown tea at home, although I don't like to drink tea very much, but I have learned some from my parents." ”
She looked at An Xiabai and gave her the most sincere praise: "Mrs. Lu is really tasteful. ”
An Xiabai's smiling face added a little mystery: "Actually, the tea you drink is an herbal tea that I brewed according to the method used by my mother when she was alive, and it is not a precious variety at all, but made with your tea leaves." ”
Home-grown tea?
Qin Shuang'er's eyes widened, and she took two more sips of tea and tasted it carefully, which would finally taste the taste.
It seems to be the taste of homemade tea!
Her admiration for An Xiabai in her heart went up to another level: "I don't know how this tea is brewed, Mrs. Lu, can you teach me?" ”
Herbal tea will be promoted in restaurants in the future, and its specific recipe should have been confidential, but the person in front of her is Qin Shuang'er, and An Xiabai has no defense against her at all.
"I added tangerine peel to it."
This time, not only Qin Shuang'er, but even Shen Ya and Ruqing, who were listening silently next to them, were surprised: "Herbal tea and tea actually ran out with tangerine peel and tea leaves?" ”
An Xiabai nodded and said: "I also tried another kind of tea before, thinking that the tea brewed would taste different, but it turned out that although the taste is different, it is not delicious, but the tea grown by the Shuang'er family can run the herbal tea with a unique taste." ”
It was only after she realized this that she asked Shen Ya to invite Qin Shuang'er, the so-called cooperation is also a matter of cooperative tea supply.
"Shuang'er, can you sell us all the tea leaves at home?" In order to show his sincerity, An Xiabai took the initiative to raise the price: "I can take a commission and buy your tea at a price thirty percent higher than the market price, do you think it is feasible?" ”
Thirty percent higher than the market price, for Qin Shuang'er, this price is very unbelievable.
Thinking of An Xiabai's kindness, Qin Shuang'er decisively gave up the price increase: "If Mrs. Lu wants to buy tea, we can come at the normal price without raising the price." ”
An Xiabai is not thin on herself, and earning her money will make Qin Shuang'er feel ashamed.
She didn't want to raise the price, but An Xiabai refused: "I'm not joking with you, after the herbal tea is promoted in the restaurant today, the effect is good, I think it will definitely be able to catch fire in the future, or raise the price for peace of mind, the most important thing is that I want to buy out the tea planted by your family, I will collect as much as I plant." ”
Qin Shuang'er wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Qin Shuang'er before she could speak.
"To be honest, you can't do business like you." An Xiabai smiled and said, "You don't accept the price increase to buy tea, you have to come according to the original price, doesn't this let me take advantage of you?" ”
She had already said it so clearly, Qin Shuang'er felt that if she continued to insist on not mentioning it, she would not give face, so she nodded hesitantly.
The smile on the corner of An Xia's white lips deepened: "That's right, we are friends, I won't let you suffer." ”
She even thought about raising the price of Qin Shuang'er if the herbal tea became popular in the future.
Just when An Xiabai was talking to Qin Shuang'er about cooperation, Lu Li suddenly came to the living room with the two children in his arms.
An Xiabai was talking about business, afraid that the child would be noisy and would make Qin Shuang'er if he was not sensible, so he wanted Lu Li to take the child away.
As a result, the two refused to leave.
When Lu Li took them out, they cried loudly, and the crying was so terrible that Qin Shuang'er felt distressed: "It is estimated that the two children want to stay with their mothers, why don't they stay in the living room?" ”
As if to confirm Qin Shuang'er's words, Xiao Dong looked at An Xiabai with tears.
After all, it was her own flesh and blood, and she couldn't be ruthless, so she hugged Xiaodong over.
In this way, Xiaoxue was a little unhappy, his tears were full of tears, and he opened his arms just to let adults hug him.
However, the object of his hug was not An Xiabai, but Qin Shuang'er.
The child's immature and lovely face softened Qin Shuang'er's heart into a puddle of water: "Can I hug him?" ”
"Absolutely." Lu Li nodded, and directly handed the little snow in his arms to Qin Shuang'er's arms.
The latter was obviously holding the child for the first time, and he was very nervous: "Xiaoxue, right, he doesn't seem to be afraid of life at all." ”
Obviously, he didn't meet him many times, but he didn't show any fear at all, and even looked at Qin Shuang'er with his bright eyes, and smiled at her after a while.
"Looks like he likes you a lot." Lu Li's expression was also much gentler, "Speaking of which, the two of you can be regarded as fateful, both of your names are too cold, but it is very warm to hug each other." ”
Qin Shuang'er looked at Xiaoxue's smiling face, her heart softened into a puddle of water, and she couldn't help but laugh too.
The bleak mood because of the changes in the family is now blown by the warm wind of Xiaoxue, and it also blows away Qin Shuang'er's sadness.
She couldn't help but bow her head and kiss Xiaoxue, and then softly praised her cuteness.
The interaction between the two of them was also warm, Ruqing, who was sitting next to her and observing silently, looked at it, and gently hooked the corners of her lips, at this time, Anxia suddenly touched her arm, and asked in a low voice: "How is the progress between you and Lord Shen?" ”
Although her voice was low, she couldn't bear Shen Ya to get close, and she was all heard by Shen Ya.
Ruqing thought of this and felt bad: "There is no progress." ”
"How is that possible?" An Xiabai pretended to be surprised, "You have put your figure so low, it is impossible for Lord Shen not to see it." ”
Ruqing sighed helplessly: "He just didn't see it." ”
An Xia Bai blinked his eyes and met Shen Ya's gaze looking this way, and his eyebrows were slightly raised.
Who is the person who doesn't see it?
She leaned closer to Ruqing and whispered to her: "Lord Shen must have seen it, otherwise he wouldn't have been keeping an eye on your side of things, he has been staring at you since I entered the door, and his eyes haven't changed much." ”
Ruqing's body moved slightly, but she didn't dare to turn her head.
The stiff appearance of her body looked in An Xiabai's eyes, and she only felt funny: "Ruqing, it's better to find a time to come out and explain the matter between you and Lord Shen, otherwise it will not be good for you to keep dragging it out like this." ”
