Early in the morning, Song Qiu took the two steamed buns to the town in a carriage.
Ah Ling was caught by Mrs. Mo today to take the school exam to see if she was slacking off, and she couldn't follow him.
The driver was still Du Chuanfu.
If A Ling is away, Du Chuanfu must follow.
There is not a big market in Panshi Town today, and the farming is busy right now, so not many people from the countryside come to the town to go to the market.
There is no need to wait in line to enter the town like in the past, and the streets are not crowded.
All the way to the dessert shop, Du Chuanfu drove the carriage into the back alley and into the backyard. Song Qiu entered the shop with two steamed buns.
Yang Dalian saw her coming and rushed out to greet her.
Song Qiu handed the two steamed buns to him and asked him to arrange them and do some work with them.
Turning around, she saw a lot of people in Fang Ji's grocery store opposite, and she couldn't help but wander over.
The people queuing up at the door to go in were all farmers. This one was carrying a basket, and the other was carrying a backpack. Without exception, they were all filled with red peppers.
Inside, the shopkeeper, who was busy weighing and weighing money, looked up and accidentally saw Song Qiu, and said hello with a smile.
This is the Fang family's grocery store. All the vermicelli sold on Zhuangzi are delivered here, as well as sweet potato starch. There is a lot of business, and the shopkeeper is naturally familiar with Song Qiu.
After he finished taking a look at this point, he asked his assistant to step in and walked out, "Did Song Xiaodong's family have something to do with our young master?"
"No, I saw you guys were so lively, so I just came here to take a look." Song Qiu said with a smile.
The shopkeeper heard this, and then said: "Isn't it because the peppers are starting to turn red? My Shaodong's family bought the recipe from Song Xiaodong's last year. It was finally put to use this year, so he asked all our shops to start it.
I’m starting to harvest red peppers.”
Having said that, thinking that Song Xiaodong's family is from Panshi Town and wants to collect these red peppers, he couldn't help but add, "You're not competing for business with Song Xiaodong's family, are you?"
If Fang Hui wants to make dried chili peppers bigger and more widespread, he naturally has to buy a large amount of red chili peppers. How can he just rely on what he can buy in his own village? In addition, chili peppers are red at this time of the year, so he can’t miss it.
After selling other people's prescriptions, Song Qiu didn't want to lose money, so he waved his hand and said: "No, no, Panshi Town is so big, how many villages are there, big or small? I harvested a lot last year, and I have a fixed number of villages.
Everyone is doing their own business, so how can we say this is robbery?"
The shopkeeper listened, smiled and agreed, then he came over and lowered his voice and said, "We charge one penny per catty. What's Song Xiaodong's price?"
If the prices are not uniform, that's not good either.
Song Qiu said: "Last year I received only one penny and one catty, and this year it will naturally be the same."
"That's okay, that's okay."
There were so many people coming to sell red peppers and they wanted to buy things, so they were really busy, so the shopkeeper said a few words and went off to apologize.
Song Qiu looked at it for a while longer before turning back to his shop.
Fang Hui moved quickly. It is estimated that other towns have also begun to purchase, and the battle is also lively. She only collects in a market like Panshi Town. If she is slower, she is afraid that those who are waiting will not be able to wait and sell to Fang Ji.
Already.
She won't be able to accept it by then.
Song Qiu decided to go back and let the wind go out. The red peppers could be picked and sent to them.
After entering the dessert shop, Yang brought out a bowl of double-skinned milk that had been prepared before dawn and put it in an ice cream pan for Song Qiu, "Girl, try it, this is the new cherry jam made this year."
Yang is indeed talented at making desserts. For example, Song Qiu taught her about the double-skinned milk. She can always draw inferences from one example instead of just following the same recipe.
When she was teaching, it was topped with mashed red beans, chopped peanuts and chopped hawthorn. But now, the top of the double-skinned milk was topped with finely chopped diced peaches and dried apricots, paired with the bright red cherry jam. It was really delicious.
So joyful.
Song Qiu happened to have some free time, so he took the spoon, scooped up a large piece of the sauce and the double-skin milk underneath and put it into his mouth.
The crunchy sweetness of the peach, the slightly sourness of the dried apricots, and the sweetness of the cherry jam, mixed with the fragrance of milk, take one bite and the taste is really comfortable.
"Yes, Not Bad."
When Yang heard this, she smiled happily and said, "Now that the weather is hot, the daily double skin milk is selling very well. Some people are tired of eating peanuts and hawthorn, so I thought of some changes.
, depending on the customer’s taste, I can add some dried peaches, apricots, or crushed watermelon and other fruits, everyone likes it.”
A bowl of double-skinned milk was not much, and Song Qiu finished it in a few mouthfuls. When he asked Yang about the past two months, Yang said everything was as usual and there was no problem.
At this moment, a visitor came, so Yang went back to her business.
After being busy for a while, Yang Dalian came over with the account book to report the accounts.
The dessert shop pays wages on the 15th day of the month. Last month Yang Dalian got paid, and this month he also got paid a few days ago.
Yang Dalian reported the accounts to Song Qiu.
The weather has been hot in the past two months, and the dessert shop's double-skinned milk, honey grapefruit tea, and other fruit teas are selling very well. The business is good, and the profits are naturally good.
Two months of accounts showed a total surplus of seventy-eight taels.
Song Qiu held the money box in his arms and was not biased. He also sent a red seal of 20 yuan to Yang Dalian and Yang Dalian's two sisters for fun.
I also didn't forget to tell Yang Dalian to open an account. If Mantou and Heizi need to borrow money, just pay them in advance.
After settling the accounts, everything that needed to be said was said. Song Qiu was going to go to the back kitchen to make some fresh desserts so that he could take them to see Song Zhenzhen. After being away for so long, he came back, so naturally he wanted to visit her.
Yang Dalian stopped her, hesitated for a while, glanced at the kitchen, and when no one looked over, he quickly said to Song Qiu, "I want to ask for a favor from the girl."
Seeing his embarrassed look, Song Qiu immediately guessed that it must be related to a life-long event. Thinking that he was also nineteen this year, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "Tell me first."
"I would like to ask the girl to marry my sister-in-law to me."
When he heard that it was Xi Meier, Song Qiu thought it was expected and was very happy, so he asked: "Have you asked Xi Meier about her feelings?"
Yang Dalian smiled sheepishly, but his smile was very sweet, "I asked, and Ximei'er is also willing."
That is when two people are in love.
Yang Dalian was also one of the first old people to follow her into the Song family. Naturally, Song Qiu would not treat him badly. He immediately called Xi Mei'er to ask, and Xi Mei'er said shyly, "It's all up to the girl Guo."
After saying this, she nodded, agreed to the marriage, and asked Yang Dalian to find someone to arrange it. The date was set, just like Du Chuanfu, she just gave him a gift.
Yang Dalian was extremely excited, but he also held his nerve and said, "I'll wait until Butler Du gets married. Then I'll ask them to help with the arrangements."
Song Qiu knew that he came with Du Chuanfu and had a close relationship, so he didn't care too much.
Although he is a servant who has signed a contract to sell himself, he still has to live like an ordinary person, including weddings and happy events, and has his own personal relationships.
When a wedding is held, there is still a lot of fun and wine.
Du Chuanfu, for example, has already said hello to the big kitchen at home, and will help make two banquets on the second day of July.
Naturally, those who exchange gifts are all people working together.
