Chapter 194: Duanjia Tea House
The post station did have a letter from the capital.
Pei Pooping confessed in the letter that he had successfully found Lin Miao from the slums, and deliberately put a piece of water for the other party to get information about Duan Honglin, and on the day he sent the letter out of the city, Lin Miao had already left the capital for half a day.
Counting the days, in a few days, Lin Miao will almost be near Linzhou City.
That's good news.
When they turned back to the laughing spring breeze, they saw Linglong, who Mi Xia Yao sent someone to Duan's mansion to get the contract, and she was standing at the gate of the courtyard looking back and forth on the street.
Until the two of them quickly glanced at each other, Linglong walked over quickly.
"Madam, what you guessed is right, when the slave maid came to the door with the contract, he was stopped by the Duan family, saying that the people in the house were not there, and they had been deliberately delaying the slave maid's time."
When Linglong said this, her eyebrows were slightly annoyed.
Mi Xia Yao took Linglong to the backyard, and met a few new recruits who came in to do chores for the backyard teahouse.
When they returned to their own house, Mi Xia Yao spoke: "So did you finally get the contract?" ”
"The slave maid deliberately said that if the benefits of this cooperation can be deducted from the debt, he really opened the door, but the woman behind him didn't look very good."
Gong Lan?
Mi Xia Yao raised her eyebrows, not to mention this time, she really didn't see Gong Lan by Duan Honglin's side.
Gu Yun guessed what Mi Xia Yao was going to ask, and she said calmly: "Recently, a batch of goods came to the Duan Family Tea House, and Gong Lan is probably busy taking inventory, and it can be seen that the real person who operates this tea house is Gong Lan. ”
Her impression of Gonglan was not very good, but she could vaguely feel that the means of Gonglan City Mansion were definitely much stronger than Duan Honglin.
"The contract was obtained, they promised to give a batch of tea, but it would take a month for the arrival date, and the slave maid could not be the master, and they unexpectedly said that they could give us a contract with the name that had been signed, and if we were willing to wait, the contract could take effect."
Linglong is recounting the things she encountered today.
Mi Xia Yao and Gu Yun glanced at each other quickly, and they both saw ridicule and speechless expressions in each other's eyes.
A contract, they actually dare to sign a name on it first, and they are not afraid that Mi Xia Yao will add a little more strange conditions, so that they will not be able to eat and walk around.
"If you are not in a hurry to sign it, then wait for them for a month, just take advantage of this month, and we also have an excuse."
Gu Yun thought about it and quickly finalized the result.
It is just the right time to take advantage of this one-month deadline to frequently go to the Duanjia Tea House to check the insider.
The two of them happened to be in perfect agreement, and Linglong left the room when she was done.
Cooperating with Duan Honglin is just a gimmick, and Mi Xia Yao is not in a hurry to close the net.
The most important thing at the moment is to quickly spread the signboard of the laughing spring breeze around the town, so Mi Xia Yao announced that there was a new place in the backyard the next day, and everyone came up with the freshness.
The advantages of the teahouse's strong secrecy were immediately excavated, and in the next few days, even the backyard of the laughing spring breeze began to have some businessmen who were talking about business here.
Seeing that the smiling spring breeze is on the right track little by little, one day's income has been able to gradually earn back the decoration spent a few days ago.
Mi Xia Yao deliberately bought a large and complete map to see where it was appropriate to refer to the next Xiaochun Breeze.
Just after the chaotic days of Linzhou, when she entered a period of calm, there was a knock on the door of the wing room where she was.
It was Song Qiao who opened the door today.
"Madam, the carriage has been prepared, this time bringing eight burly mothers-in-law, Lan Ren also asked us if we should transfer two more strong men to support the scene."
Hearing this, Mi Xia Yao's eyebrows jumped fiercely.
"This burly mother-in-law has already been found by Lan Ren, how can he still have enough candidates, what is he doing?"
In fact, when she recruited Lan Ren to work, she deliberately inquired about Lan Ren's background, but except for the news that he was a person who often wandered in Linzhou City, the background was too clean......
Song Qiao scratched his head, also very confused, "Looking at Lan Ren's appearance, he seems to have many candidates." ”
"No need, just hold up the scene a little, I didn't want to go to him for so long."
Mi Xia Yao took the opportunity to stand up.
Today is the time she deliberately chose to go to the Duanjia Tea House on East Street.
She looked at the Duan family tea house for seven days, and finally found out the other party's daily routine in the store.
What she wanted was to deliberately stagger the time when Duan Honglin and Gong Lan left the store, and she took the opportunity to go to the tea house under the pretext of signing a contract.
The carriage drove to the Duanjia Tea House, and Mi Xia Yao took a group of people from Wu Yang and stepped into the tea house generously.
The shopkeeper who was guarding the shop saw Mi Xia Yao coming, probably because he had been told in advance, and he stood up and blocked her way.
"I'm coming to sign an agreement with your owner."
When she saw the shopkeeper, her tone was very indifferent and unnegotiable.
The shopkeeper's face was embarrassed for a moment, and he replied cautiously: "The two bosses of our family have gone out for business today, why don't you come back another day?" ”
"Another day? Are you an idler when I am? ”
Mi Xia Yao was too lazy to pull with him, and glanced back at the mother-in-law behind her. The well-trained mother-in-law immediately stepped forward and controlled the other party in two or three clicks.
And Mi Xia Yao carried the hem of her skirt and went further inside.
The shop sign of Duanjia Tea House looks vibrant, but in fact, this store is divided into two areas, front and back, and the front hall is clear that there is nothing to see at a glance, and she has just stepped into the back door.
The two waiters standing at the back door saw Mi Xia Yao coming, and immediately frowned and scolded.
"This is the backyard of the tea house, and people who are not specially approved by the owner are not allowed to step into here for half a step."
Mi Xia Yao observed carefully and saw that the other party did not have any sharp blades, so she took a few steps forward without fear.
The waiter was about to approach Mi Xia Yao, but was blocked by the mother-in-law she brought behind her.
Thanks to their blessings for struggling, Mi Xia Yao soon saw the tip of the iceberg in the backyard.
Bags of burlap were piled up in a mess, and there was no sign of a box of tea.
When she looked closely, she noticed that there was a large cauldron in the corner of the backyard, which seemed to be smoldering something.
Mi Xia Yao was thinking about taking another step forward.
Suddenly, there was a sound of messy footsteps behind him.
"Boss Mi trespassed into the backyard, according to the law of Daqi, I can sue you to prison."
The woman's crisp and loud voice interrupted Mi Xia Yao's look.
When she looked back, she saw Gong Lan hurrying towards her.
"I have a nominal cooperative relationship with the Duan Family Tea House, and I came today to sign an agreement.
