Chapter 186: Selling Tea
Cui'er returned home, packed up one hundred and fifty-five taels of silver and sent it to the Qian family, sat on the kang and looked at the deed in front of her with the big red official seal, and there was a fluttering feeling in her heart as if she was dreaming.
"Qingshan, pinch me quickly and see if I'm dreaming!" Cui'er saw Lian Qingshan enter the house and said to him busily.
"Silly girl, what is this a dream." Lian Qingshan walked up to Cui'er and sat down, looking at Cui'er's eyes that were sparkling with excitement, he couldn't help but smile and said.
Originally, even Qingshan was a little mindful that the money for buying a house was earned by Cui'er, and he felt that he was a big man, and it was a little embarrassing that he didn't have a woman to make money, but looking at Cui'er's stupid and smiling appearance, he secretly blamed himself for being stingy in his heart, with such a smart wife, others couldn't ask for it, and if he was worried about these little things, it would be too undeserved.
"Cui'er, you are heavy now, and you are not in a hurry to handle the affairs of the house in this town, when you give birth to the child well and get out of confinement, let's go back to the town." Lian Qingshan gently helped Cui'er sort out her somewhat messy hair, and continued, "We have bought this house, and you only have two or three months left before giving birth, you have to take good care of your body at home, as for other things, we are not in a hurry." β
Cui'er was so persuaded and coaxed by Lian Qingshan, she also diverted her attention, stretched out her hand and touched her stomach, which was already very obvious, and suddenly was kicked by the little thing inside, Cui'er exclaimed, and hurriedly put her hand on her belly, feeling the powerful kick that I don't know if it was a small hand or a small foot.
"Cui'er, what's wrong?" Even Qingshan hugged his stomach after hearing Cui'er's exclamation, thinking that it was Cui'er's stomachache, he was a little panicked, and saw that the expression on Cui'er's face did not look like a stomachache, and he also put his palm on Cui'er's stomach.
"Touch here, he's moving!" Cui'er's eyes were shining, and she pulled Lian Qingshan's hand to the place where she was kicked just now. However, in an instant, the little thing in the stomach kicked hard again, kicking Cui'er with a sigh, but it made Lian Qingshan excited!
"Yes. He moved, my son moved! The powerful kick under his hand made Lian Qingshan only feel that his whole heart was about to melt, and he smiled, not feeling that his expression was stupid at all.
The big girl and the little tiger who heard the voice also ran over excitedly, and the family of four talked around Cui'er's belly, which was not warm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Cui'er's house was warm, the money shopkeeper's family was busy non-stop, and after the money shopkeeper bought the shop, he was busy decorating the shop, and the original shop was selling mountain goods. The shelves are all wooden boards with large baskets on them, which are very simple, and they definitely don't match the style of selling tea at home.
"These shelves need to be rebuilt, and this big basket is so cheesy. There is also the door of this shop, and there will not be many people coming and going in the tea shop. Even if you talk about business, you can only place an order after tasting tea, it is better to separate a larger reception room, and it will be more convenient to taste tea and talk about things at that time...... "Shopkeeper Qian and Mrs. Qian took their two sons to wander around the shop, pointing out the unpleasant places, and then preparing to find someone to rebuild the shop.
"Sir. Let's open a tea shop, is it really feasible? "Although Mrs. Qian has experienced the hot sales of cuicha, after all, it is the sales of the rich family, if it is her own separate shop, I don't know if this business can be maintained.
"Madame, don't worry. If you think about the tea fried by Sister Cui'er, the taste is not to mention our Shili Town, that is, Bishui County is the first one, you haven't seen the merchant who bought tea before, tea for three or five taels of silver per catty. I don't even blink my eyes when I buy ten catties or eight catties, and it's a posture of how many wants, such a buyer, let's open another shop, where to find it! β
"Sister Cui'er's tea is actually like this?" Although Mrs. Qian thinks that Cui'er's tea is good, after all, she doesn't like tea, and she hasn't drunk any good tea, so she can't tell the difference between good and bad.
"Dad, mother, what are you struggling with? This shop is our own, open a tea shop or something else, isn't it all our own words? Also, Aunt Cui'er's fried tea is fragrant, and the dim sum she makes is delicious, even if the business is not prosperous, you will not starve to death! Qian Yufu looked at his mother's hesitation, and said his opinion as soon as he was excited.
"Yufu is right, this shop is our own, we don't have to pay accounts to our family like before, let's earn more and spend more, earn less and spend less, why are we so entangled!" After listening to Yufu's words, the shopkeeper felt that it made a lot of sense, and laughed and patted his stomach.
"Well, that's what I said, let's sell the tea produced by Cui'er's family, as well as the snacks that come to the door during the New Year, you can also sell them, and the dry goods in the mountains or something, even if you can't sell it for a while, our family still has a family background, so we won't starve to death!" Mrs. Qian was also moved by what her husband and son said, and her eyes rolled to pull the dim sum that made money during the New Year into the scope of business, with the dim sum business at the bottom, one or two hundred taels of silver a year is a proper income, which is much stronger than the previous Baba who was the shopkeeper of the Qian family, and could only get ten taels of silver a year.
"Since it's selling Cui'er's things, we have to discuss it with Cui'er!" The money shopkeeper pondered for a while, felt that his wife's idea was very good, nodded and said.
"Okay, let's go back and invite Cui'er's family to come over for a meal, and talk about this tea snack together." Mrs. Qian looked happy and began to stretch out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Cui'er, is Cui'er at home?" After the shopkeeper and his family came back from the town, Mrs. Qian went into the kitchen for a long time, and made a large table full of dishes with fish and meat bought from the town.
"Big brother, what's the matter?" Lian Qingshan walked out of the house, saw the money shopkeeper's happy face, and asked with a smile.
"I just came back from town, I bought a lot of delicious food, let's go, let's go to the house for a drink!" The money shopkeeper said with a smile, because his heart was full of hope for the future, and his face unconsciously brought it out.
"Something delicious? That's going to have to go. Big brother will go back first, and I will arrive with Cui'er and the children later! "Because they live close to each other and have a good relationship, Lian Qingshan and the shopkeeper often invite each other to dinner. Today's your house and tomorrow's mine are not a big deal, as soon as he heard about the meal, Lian Qingshan responded with a smile, and after a while, he took Cui'er and the children to the old yard.
When I entered the house in the old courtyard, I saw that the kang table was already full of food, unlike Cui'er's likes to make braised pork, sauerkraut stew, etc., Mrs. Qian likes to put meat in the stir-fry, and there is a large plate of fried fungus with meat, as well as fried beans and so on. The dishes are not as delicate as those made by Cui'er, but they are all big plates and bowls, full of heart.
"Heh, sister-in-law, this is no less delicious!" Cui'er looked at the full plates and bowls on the table, and said pretending to be greedy.
"Hahaha. Knowing that the girl likes it, can she cook more delicious food? Mrs. Qian laughed, brought the last plate of dishes to the table, scalded the wine bought from the town, and the two families sat on the kang and ate and drank lively.
During the banquet, the shopkeeper Qian and his wife talked to Lian Qingshan and Cui'er about what business they wanted to do in this shop, and Mrs. Qian said her thoughts like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, which was actually after Cui'er mentioned it to her before. She added some of the opinions she and the money shopkeeper had obtained.
"Sister Cui'er, I won't tell you, the shops in this town, I think they mainly sell tea, and also sell some refreshments and mountain goods, and these tea refreshments are all imported from you. If you have mountain goods, you will also give priority to getting them from you. Mrs. Qian said with the acquiescence of her husband, and the husband and wife of the shopkeeper of Qian kept an eye on this matter, so that Mrs. Qian would be the best if it became natural. If it doesn't work, the money shopkeeper will take the opportunity to make up for it, and say that Mrs. Qian's meaning is her personal idea.
"Sister-in-law, this idea is good, our tea snacks are ready-made, and they can be produced in spring, although there are fewer mountain goods now, but around our backing mountain, the most important thing is the mountain. However, the people in our mountains produce more, but they can consume less, and they are busy all year round but can't make money, if the eldest brother and sister-in-law can sell this mountain goods outside the mountain, how much can our fellow villagers earn some money back, then it is a great achievement! Cui'er naturally saw the small tricks of the money shopkeeper and his wife, but she didn't take it to heart, and actively suggested.
"Yes, seeing that our fellow villagers are busy all year round, but they can't eat or drink, I'm also anxious, while there are still some ways to do more for the villagers!" The money shopkeeper stroked his beard, only felt that Cui'er's words had gone up to his heart, and compared with making money, getting the approval of the villagers was what the money shopkeeper was more willing to do, and it was also a greater attraction to the money shopkeeper.
"Then let's settle it, this tea and dim sum will be hard for the girl to worry a lot, and your eldest brother and I will run the way of mountain goods takeaway." Seeing that this matter was going very well, Mrs. Qian's smile on her face became bigger and bigger.
"Naturally, there is no problem, I still have a dozen catties of tea in my hand, about ten catties of green tea, and a small amount of other tea, if the eldest brother goes out to run business, you can bring some tea as a sample, let them place an order...... By the way, we still had an order for a foreigner's green tea last year, I don't know if it's still useful? β
"Bring tea for a sample?" The money shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly calculated in his heart how to do the best business in his heart, and then heard Cui'er mention last year's order, and the smile on his face faded slightly, "Last year's order was signed in my own name, but I have now left the Qian family, and the other party still recognizes this business but I don't know." β
"Don't be afraid, this good tea is drunk, as long as there is no better tea than my family in this radius, this business will naturally not be able to run, if someone's tea is better than mine, he can't take it away without even blinking an eye, right?" When Mrs. Qian spoke just now, she told the matter of the tea collector receiving tea as a joke that the shopkeeper said about it, and it was very appropriate to be quoted by Cui'er at this time.
"Okay, then the tea will all depend on the girl!" The money shopkeeper picked up the wine bowl and said to Cui'er.
"The matter of selling tea depends on the hard work of the eldest brother!" Cui'er also picked up the soup bowl, and the two families of four clinked glasses and drank each, which was considered to have finalized the matter.
