Chapter 334: And the Follow-up?
At the beginning, Xie Rongzhao made more than ten kinds of recipes for milk tea, and after the capital became popular, Song Yi saw the business opportunity, discussed with Xie Rongzhao, and simply bought her formula.
Of course, it is not considered to be a complete purchase, but to let Xie Rongzhao buy shares with the formula, so that Four Seasons Tea Language has more than a dozen branches in the Dazhi Dynasty at once.
Ordinary people can't afford to drink such things.
So these dozen or so branches are all opened in the state capital, and all of them are very popular without exception.
Because of this, Xie Rongzhao didn't have to do anything, he became a little rich woman.
Song Yi was born as a businessman after all, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and the methods he thought of would only be more effective and profitable.
Except for the one in the capital that is Xie Rongzhao's own, the rest of the shops are all shared equally by her and Song Yi.
Song Yi would send someone to send the account book twice a year for her to see, and at his insistence, he still asked Xie Rongzhao to arrange people in each shop, although Song Yi didn't dare to deceive her, but everyone was at ease in doing so.
Xie Xiuwen knew Song Yi's purpose for doing this, and he also knew the truth of his brother's accounting, so he had always been a cold observer in this matter.
How much money Xie Rongzhao can make is her ability, he and his wife will not reach out to ask for a penny, and it will be her dowry in the future.
Xie Xiuwen believes that as long as he lives for a day, Song Yi will not dare to mess around, and even have to curry favor with the Xie family, but human nature cannot be tempted, who can guarantee that his official position will always be high?
Therefore, Song Yi's suggestion is the safest.
Xie Rongzhao has relied on the Four Seasons Tea Language in the past few years, and the silver in her hand has accumulated tens of thousands of taels, not to mention that she has other industries.
Nowadays, there are not many young people in Jingzhong who can say hard enough to support themselves with their own real skills, and Xie Rongzhao is one of them.
Song Yi sent one of his nephews, who was about the same age as Xie Ronghui.
first sent He Yi to him, and said a few auspicious words, and then carried a wooden box to Xie Rongzhao.
"There are six stores in this half-year's account book, and there are also dividends that should be given to you. My uncle said that he would send the account books of the four shops over next month, so that you would not be able to say that he was inconsiderate of you. ”
Xie Rongzhao smiled: "Brother Song, it's hard work, how many days do you have to stay in the capital this time?" ”
"Exactly, the shopkeeper Fang got a lot of leather goods and gems from outside the customs this time, and my uncle ordered to transport some to the south, but at the moment these goods are still in the warehouse, so we have to wait."
"Cousin Fang is quick to do things, I believe he won't let you wait too long."
"Thank you for your good words."
Xie Rongzhao ordered someone to carry the box back to his courtyard, and after opening it, Chen Xia first took out a small box inside, and then opened it carefully, confirming that the contents were silver tickets and some gold ingots, and then handed it over.
Xie Rongzhao took it and counted it, there were more than a dozen silver tickets, a total of three thousand taels, and ten gold ingots.
She took one casually and swiped it in her hand, it was heavy.
"Miss, this time Boss Song didn't let people send anyone else, it's all account books."
"Got it, I'll see it later. I'll give these ten gold ingots to A-Niang, and then exchange some silver beans with her to use. ”
Xie Rongzhao now generally uses silver beans or silver melon seeds to reward people.
Earlier, she used copper plates, but now that Xie Xiuwen's identity has come up, she will go to other high gates, and it is not good to use copper plates to reward people again, so as not to be laughed at.
Chen Xia said with a smile: "Taking such a sufficient amount of gold ingots to exchange for silver beans, Miss is at a big loss." ”
Xie Rongzhao also laughed: "You're right, I have to be coquettish with A-Niang, and let her help me get some more good things!" ”
Liu Ruolan knew that she would come to the door, so she let the Gu family arrange it early.
"These silver melon seeds are all prepared for you, both large and small, a total of almost fifty taels, you use them first, and then I will ask someone to help you get some golden beans later."
Xie Rongzhao smiled and didn't speak, and handed over the small box containing ten gold ingots.
Liu Ruolan opened it and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Are you really willing to give it to me?" ”
"What's there to be reluctant about? I eat and live at home, and my father and mother raise me. Besides, I know that A-Niang saved my dowry, but Brother Lang hasn't decided to marry yet, so there will be more places to spend money in the future. ”
"Yo, you know how to raise a family at a young age!"
Liu Ruolan laughed at her once, and asked the Gu family to put away the ten gold ingots.
"When I turned around, A-Niang asked people to use this gold ingots to make golden beans for you to reward people. The housekeeper helped wreck some broken silver, if you don't have enough money, just go to the public tent to get it, you don't have to get it from me. ”
"Got it, A-Niang, I just wanted to come over and talk to you. It's time to set up a banquet, but can I help? ”
"There are people who are involved in these things, where do you need to worry about a child?"
When the words fell, Liu Ruolan felt that something was wrong again, and looked at her carefully: "Otherwise, you should follow your sister-in-law to learn." You are not small, and you must know some things, so as not to be deceived in the future. ”
Xie Rongzhao grinned, holding her arm and being coquettish again.
When she finally left, Liu Ruolan gave her her a new set of glass bottles.
When Xie Rongzhao looked through these account books again at night, Chen Xia found that there was still a letter at the bottom of the box.
"Miss?"
Xie Rongzhao motioned for her to take it, and Chen Xia muttered, "Why did Boss Song put the letter at the bottom of the box?" If this is careless, it may be really wrong. ”
Xie Rongzhao opened the letter and saw that it was indeed Song Yi's handwriting, but it was not about the Four Seasons Tea Language, but about some trivial matters in Gaoyang County.
Among them, Wang Ximeng was mentioned.
When Xie Rongzhao's Four Seasons Tea Language was opened to Fucheng, it caused a sensation, although Gaoyang County did not open, but many rich and noble families in the county also went to Fucheng to taste it, and they were naturally full of praise after coming back.
Unexpectedly, not long after, Wang Ximeng also got a milk tea, but she used a bamboo tube, and first set up a stall in the county to sell it, because the price was cheap, and many people really went to buy it and taste it, but they were scolded that they were Dongshi Xiaopin.
Because of his status and economic ability, Wang Ximeng couldn't get more and better materials, so what he made was a simple version of milk tea, but he only used goat milk, tea and sugar, so naturally he didn't pay attention to any taste.
Those rich and noble families who have tasted the taste of Fucheng's four seasons tea go to buy it and drink it, only to think that it is not as good as their own cooking, so they will naturally not patronize it again, and ordinary people, who would be willing to spend the money that a family spends a day to buy a cup of milk tea?
Therefore, the transaction only lasted less than ten days before it was completely yellow.
Xie Rongzhao didn't care about it at that time, but he didn't expect that after such a long time, there would be a follow-up to this matter!
