Chapter 228: The Tea Shop Opened
Three days later, the apprentices of the teahouse arrived, and seeing that the clothes they were wearing were very old, Xiangmo busily took out the clothes prepared for these apprentices according to Cui'er's housewife and sent them according to their names.
When the children took a bath in the bath prepared in the backyard one by one, and came out with new clothes, Xiangmo finally figured out why her own young lady had to pay for the construction of the bathhouse and buy clothes for the apprentices.
The apprentices who entered the courtyard just now all seemed to be wilted and unenergetic, but after washing and changing, wearing the same green new clothes, and having a full meal, these children were like blades of grass after the rain, and they all stood up and became energetic.
"It's really worthy of Miss, the clothes that our gang of people made for three days are really not in vain!" Xiang Mo looked at the apprentices' energetic appearance, and her heart was also very happy.
Cui'er sat in the account room, looking at the apprentices who were all excited after they came, slightly bent the corners of her mouth, stretched out her hand and shook the small bag and softness in the cradle next to her, looking at the two children with big eyes and waving their little arms babbling in the cradle, her heart was soft.
Cui'er knows that she is not a philanthropist, but within the scope of her ability, helping them live a better life is what Cui'er is happy to see.
A few days after the opening of the tea house, Cui'er gathered the apprentices together before lunch, lectured them, and explained the daily schedule for the future.
If you live in your own home, you should start working in the morning, have lunch at noon, and continue to work in the afternoon after lunch. In the evening, I finished dinner and went to work. If you live in this tea house, you will have breakfast after waking up in the morning, and you will start working after breakfast, and everyone will have lunch and dinner, and you can move around the neighborhood after dinner. But he couldn't get out of the mountain of Lianjia, so as not to be bitten by the wolves on the mountain.
"As for the meal, the rice, vegetables, and meat are supplied by the tea house, but the meal is to be made by you. For the first month's meals, there will be Sister-in-law Mu and Er Ya Niang to help make them, and all of you will be divided into four groups. Every three days, come and help cook, and when a month is over, the person on duty will be responsible for cooking, so I don't know how to cook yet. You have to study hard. Cui'er said, this management method has a lot of feeling like she was in military training.
"Yes!" The apprentices, including Heimu and Tantou, responded in unison, and six of the eight apprentices who entered this batch were from other villages, and only two were from their own villages, but because of the shortage of housing. So these eight people unanimously chose to live in the tea shop, only the black and thin little girl, who said that she would go home twice a month. Give your wages to your sick grandfather.
After the training, Cui'er went back to the account room, and arranged trivial things such as accommodation, not Cui'er did it herself, only needed to arrange it for Uncle Zhong and Xiangmo, it was enough.
There are two main things that Cui'er needs to ask about. One is the celebration of the opening of the tea shop, and the other is the source of the tea for the apprentices. Their own tea is limited. I also have to free up some for the apprentices to practice, eight apprentices. Only the two of the Qian family are proficient hands, and if you want to connect them all into a hand that can help with the work, you need a lot of tea.
When the opening ceremony is close, Cui'er will be busy with this matter first, when it opens, you need to prepare food and drink for the merchants who come, a table of banquets must be indispensable, as well as the introduction and tasting of your own tea, and the gift you bring when you go back, these need to be asked by Cui'er, the housewife.
At this time, even Qingshan was busy dealing with the old house, digging the foundation of the new yard, etc., and he was also busy with his feet hitting the back of his head every day.
Of course, Cui'er's family has such a prosperous thing, especially Lian Qinghe stays at Lian's house every day, and Dong, as a brother and sister, also wants to come over to take a look.
But because Dong's younger brothers have already come to work here, although the money saved these days is not too much, it will be enough for them to marry their daughter-in-law in a year or two, and Dong's father and mother will not force their daughters to move things home.
Dong has no pressure, and when she comes over, she really helps more, and her speech is not as bitter as before, but it makes Cui'er have a better impression of her, and she is willing to help her more.
In such a busyness, the day of the opening of the tea shop has come, and the family will get up early in the morning, because there are many people who come today, and the children, especially the small bags and soft ones, cannot be taken by Cui'er, so Cui'er has already arranged for Aunt Lu and Xiangmo to take the children. When Dong and Zheng come over to help cook, they can also help watch the children or something.
Seeing that there is still half an hour before the auspicious time, Lian Qingshan and Cui'er have already arranged the affairs inside and outside the teahouse properly, introducing the matter of tea, Lian Qingshan and Cui'er came by themselves, and the money shopkeeper and his wife will come with fun later, and a few people will definitely be able to introduce tea.
In addition to the important visit, Uncle Zhong guarded the door, and the matter of making the banquet was handed over to Aunt Chunzhu and Zhang, as well as Yinhuan, Dong and Zheng to help Zhang Luo coordinate, and the opening of the entire tea house should be no problem.
Because the opening of the tea shop is a business matter, the older generation of the backer only invited the village chief and Uncle Lu to accompany the guests, and the younger generation is a few who are familiar with Qingshan, because the people who come know about all generations and are not too worried about any accidents.
After a while, the money shopkeeper's carriage came from a distance, and behind him, there were three or four carriages, obviously the merchants in the town who the money shopkeeper had invited to watch the ceremony.
There is a wide gatehouse at the gate of the tea workshop, and even Qingshan and Cui'er are standing at the bottom of the gatehouse, looking at the carriage from far and near, and the smiles on their faces are getting brighter and brighter.
But in a moment, the money shopkeeper's carriage arrived at the door of the workshop, and after getting out of the carriage, the money shopkeeper pulled Mrs. Qian and walked in front of Lian Qingshan and his wife, and said with a smile, "Brother Qingshan, Sister Cui'er, congratulations!" ”
"Thank you, Brother Qian, Sister-in-law, for your face!" Cui'er took the gift handed over by Mrs. Qian and said with a smile.
"Hahaha...... Look at this old money, as soon as we arrived at the place, we were thrown away, as if I was afraid that we couldn't grab the first one! A burst of hearty laughter came from behind, and a man with a tiger's back and a thin man walked over together, listening to the tone of his voice, he was very familiar with the money shopkeeper.
"I was just afraid that you people would scare my virtuous brother, so I came over in advance to say ......" The money shopkeeper scolded with a smile, and then turned around to help introduce, "These two are my close friends, they went out last year, and they only came back this year." ”
It turned out that the man with the tiger's back was the head of a dart bureau in the county, and he had encountered a thief with the money shopkeeper, and since then he has become a good friend, and the little man is the account room of the dart bureau, and the relationship with the money shopkeeper is also very good.
The two of them came this time mainly to see if it was worth taking part of the dart to sell it in the distance, so as to earn more silver taels.
The people in the carriage behind also came down when they were greeting, seeing that the newly built tea house was not inferior to the courtyard of the rich people in the town, they did not dare to underestimate it, and everyone greeted together, waiting for the arrival of the auspicious time.
When the auspicious time came, in the lively sound of firecrackers, the money shopkeeper and Lian Qingshan pulled down the red silk covered on the plaque, and saw the three words of Cui Chafang, which were very eye-catching and hung on it.
"Congratulations!" "It's good to open!" The sound of congratulations came out of nowhere, pushing the atmosphere of the scene to a high point.
"Today's tea shop is open, please also invite all distinguished guests to move and go to the tea shop to taste tea!" Lian Qingshan greeted all the merchants, looking at everyone's harmonious appearance, he felt a little high-spirited.
Visitors have walked into the main hall of the tea shop, listen to Lian Qingshan and the shopkeeper Qian introduce the various tea leaves of the tea shop, taste tea and eat snacks, and make friends talk freely, which is really very pleasant.
The coachman and servants were led to the concierge by Uncle Zhong, drinking cold mung bean soup and eating a box of dim sum for hundreds of dollars, and they were very satisfied.
It's time to eat, Cui'er contributed a few novel dishes, Xiangmo brought local dishes from Huxi, plus Aunt Chunzhu and the mountain specialties they did their best to make, with the high-purity wine from the old Zhangtou Wine Workshop, such a table of mountain delicacies, Rao is the dart head that goes south and north, and it feels delicious to eat.
"Hahaha, even my brother's table of dishes is enough to open a restaurant in the provincial capital, I have eaten so many good things in the north and south, even my brother, this dish is good, and the wine is good!" After drinking a big bowl of wine, the strong man said with a smile with a red face, his voice was very loud.
"If you think this wine is good, bring a jar when you go back, the Zhangjia Liquor Workshop in Shili Town has my family's shares, and if you have a business when you go back, please take care of it!" The wine table is a man's world, and even Qingshan is unambiguous when he drinks, and after accompanying Tong Darttou to make a bowl of wine, he said politely.
"Okay, with your good amount of alcohol, brother, I will definitely go!" Tong Darttou saw that Lian Qingshan was drinking happily, and his heart was very comfortable, and he pulled the money shopkeeper and they were drinking and chatting.
Tong Dart's going south and north, the money shopkeeper's affairs in their shopping mall, the affairs of Uncle Zhong's Huxi family, and even the Qingshan war, were all used by the men as talking points, and the house was in full swing for a while, and it was a meal of wine that brought everyone's feelings closer a lot.
This meal lasted for two hours, and after the banquet was dispersed and everyone was sent away, Cui'er breathed a long sigh of relief, looking at the three order contracts left on the table, the smile on her face slowly bloomed, and the opening of this tea shop can be regarded as a good start!
