Yan Yu took Sister Da Ya to see the shop near Fu Xue.
She never forgot the shop next to the bamboo stove.
"Although the front door is small, the courtyard is big. Sister, let's go around to the back." Yan Yu pulled her back, "Look, how long is the courtyard wall? The street behind is also wide, and two cars can walk side by side."
Car, when I buy this place, the door at the back must be enlarged so that all our firewood can be pulled in. It will be easier to deliver goods to various parts of the city in the future.
In the front, there are soap, tooth powder, our own homemade shampoo, recycled paper, etc. I have done the math. Although the cost of opening a store is high and you have to pay taxes and so on, there is a store here. Who wants to buy it?
What, you can find it just by raising your foot.
We still have to have a place in the city. If it snows like the past two days, we don’t have to walk back in the wind and snow. We can just rest in the city..."
Yan Yu's eyes were full of longing, and he looked around the shop, as if his eyes could see through it.
Da Ya saw that she really cared about this, so she said: "How much money is left? Dad, aunt, and sister haven't touched the money you gave me. You can take it all. If it's not enough, sister will go to the village to get it for you."
"
Girls of her age in the village all had some private money, so Da Ya thought that if the gap was not big, she would lend it to them.
Yan Yu reached out and hugged the eldest sister, and the two groups, one big and one small, were tightly together.
"Sister, you're so kind! As for the money, didn't I buy ginseng from Fengming? When I sell it, it shouldn't be much different, hee hee, but regardless of whether it's short of money or not, I still own the money from my eldest sister.
If you want to use it, it can be regarded as a shareholding, and I will benefit the elder sister from now on."
Yan Yu smiled slyly: "I'm also worried about my mother's private money. Hehe, when this shop makes money in the future, the three of us will be the richest people in the family!"
Da Ya also laughed, her eyes filled with love.
"Yan Xiaoer?"
Eh?
Yan Yu looked towards where the sound came from.
Good guy, if it’s not the crown prince, who is standing on the second floor of the bamboo stove?
Yan Yu reacted very quickly, looked around, waved and shouted: "Brother Zheng!"
The prince smiled, knowing that this boy was smart.
"Sister, please wait here while I wait. I will go over and have a few words with the crown prince," Yan Yu said.
Da Ya nodded.
It's not that Yan Yu is boasting about her eldest sister's beauty and soft temperament. What if the prince's eldest brother likes such a girl? Even though he is married, it won't matter if he has a few wives with his status.
The Yan family has no intention of using their daughter to climb a high tree, so they must pay special attention to this aspect so as not to be misunderstood.
"Why did you come to the west of the city?" the prince asked.
Yan Yu didn't want to say that she came to see the shop. After all, she... had seen it a lot.
"Dad and my eldest brother are going to take exams next year. They are nearby. We were curious about what it was like, so we wandered over here to have a look."
The prince's smile deepened and he teased: "If you haven't told the truth, aren't you just interested in the shop next to you? Why, are you afraid that I will steal it from you?"
Yan Yu coughed lightly, and her face became slightly hot: "Brother Zheng knows this. I think the shop is okay, but the purchase of property is a big deal, and our family has not yet discussed it."
"The shop next door..." The prince thought for a while and asked the shopkeeper next to him: "How much does it cost?"
The shopkeeper said softly: "My uncle bought it for three hundred and eighty taels, and he plans to resell it at a reasonable price."
Yan Yu pricked up his ears and heard clearly.
It turns out that it is Mr. Xue Qi’s shop!
Mr. Xue Qi has quite a lot of wealth!
The prince calculated in his mind and asked her: "But the money is not available?"
"That's enough." Yan Yu said truthfully: "Some time ago, I went to Fengming to collect some old ginseng. The quality is good. I think it can be sold at a high price. Once the ginseng is released, it's almost done."
"You boy, you are so courageous, and you are not afraid of being deceived!" The prince was really speechless. A few old ginseng cost a hundred taels of silver, so the Yan family was so relieved to let him do it.
"You saw it right, it's a rare and good ginseng." Yan Yu defended.
"My family is about to buy some specialties from Guanzhou to send as New Year gifts to the south. Let's do this. You can bring the ginseng here tomorrow and I'll ask someone to take a look. If it's really good, I'll buy it. If it's not good, you can just buy it.
A lesson that you will remember for a long time!" The prince said with a straight face.
What else could Yan Yu say, just nodded obediently.
She was happy because she didn't have to go to Changping anymore. Selling it to the palace would definitely cost more money than selling it to a drugstore. Her ginseng was definitely good, so why were she afraid of people seeing it?
…
The two sisters left from the west of the city. Instead of leaving the city, they went to the east of the city and went to the palace.
Yan Yu stuffed ten copper coins through the small door at the back of the palace, "Can you please send a message to the prince's father-in-law and tell him that the waiter of the Yan family is here to deliver pancakes to him."
Menzi weighed the copper plate with doubts.
Yan Yu knew that he didn't believe it, so he said: "My family and the prince are fellow villagers. Last time when I came to see the prince with Mr. Tian from Huju City, I said a few words to the prince. Brother, please go quickly. The prince said last time
He said, this is what I want to eat, and I will send it to my family when it is ready."
After hearing what she said clearly, the disciple believed her and hurried inside to report the news.
The two sisters waited for a long time, and finally someone came out and let them in. Yan Yu said that she had something to do at home and handed the wrapped pancakes to the visitor.
"Why are you knocking on the small door at the back? The prince has been waiting for the people guarding the side door. If someone comes to deliver something to him, he will take it and lead the person in. He wants to see it in person."
Yan Yu said with a smile: "We country people don't know the rules, so we knew that we couldn't go through the main entrance, so we went to the back.
Please tell me, please, please tell me, my father, who is now with Mr. Tian, has almost made Huju his home. He hasn’t been back for a few days, so I just came back from a long trip and caught up with the snow that had fallen for a few days.
That was the delay.
Fortunately, the grandmothers in the village couldn't stay idle on a snowy day, so they spread out several stacks of pancakes at home. They were all noodles and they didn't bring too many. They wanted to taste them first to see if they tasted the same. If they tasted good, they went to the charcoal store at the gate of the city.
By the way, when we serve pancakes in the village from now on, we will bring some to the princes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! By the way, there is also this, our pickles..."
After Yan Yu delivered the things, she and her sister left.
Da Ya asked: "Xiaoer, is the prince really a fellow from Qishan?"
"No, even though the accent is very light, dad still heard it," Yan Yu said.
"I heard that the person was quite nice, and he even said hello to me at the door," Da Ya said.
Yan Yu: "It seems that I really want this. Hehe, we are here to give it to you."
"Then from now on, everyone in the village who sells pancakes will leave some for him?" Da Ya asked, "Does Second Uncle have something to ask for?"
"Haha!" Yan Yu was overjoyed: "Sister, why are you so honest? We give him things just to ask him to do something? It's nothing, that's right, we are all from Qishan Prefecture, and we feel like this in Guanzhou
close.
Last time we talked about pancakes coming, dad agreed to give them to me. We can't just say it, but after all, the threshold is high. He works as an errand in the palace, so if dad comes to knock on the door, he will appear deliberately, as if our family is trying to curry favor.
I have to come, and there is no need to meet. I gave the things to you. I have heard what I want. If the prince goes to the city gate to bring a message from now on, he is willing to walk around with me as a fellow villager. If you don’t believe it, I will not come to visit you in the future.
When we meet, we don’t mention this and just talk in a friendly manner..."
Yan Yu selflessly taught the eldest sister the method of interacting with others that she learned from her father.
Da Ya will tell the truth at first, thinking over and over again in her heart. The more she thinks about it, the more she feels that her second uncle did not hang around in vain for so many years. No wonder there are always friends coming to the house to ask him out...
…
It was getting late, and the people of Xiaoan Village were preparing to close the stalls at the city gate and return to the village.
Luo San pulled Yan Yu aside.
"Xiao Er, there is something that Uncle Luo can't make up his mind about, and he wants to talk to you about it."
"What's the matter, Uncle Luo?" Yan Yu was quite curious.
"My master, you know, is the one who led me to kill pigs..."
"I know, didn't the people from Da'an Village settle in our village?"
Luo San grinned and said: "Now I set up a stall to sell meat every day. My master also wants to go back to his old business. He came to discuss with me yesterday and wanted to work with me. He wanted to set up a stall in Xiqiao Town first.
See how the market is, and if you can get started, find a place to set up a fixed stall in Yongning City."
Yan Yu didn't interrupt and listened to him continue.
"There are more sheep than pigs here in Guanzhou, but we can still hunt some wild animals when we go into the mountains. Even if we can't catch pigs in the countryside, it doesn't matter. I've made some calculations, and it seems that this stall can be started, so I'm a little tempted. That's it.
Well, it's not easy to find a place to set up a meat stall. You have to visit the pier first, and you may have to spend some money. I'm a little confused about this. I don't know if it's better to do it day by day like now, or at least.
It’s a good stall.”
Yan Yu thought for a while and said with some seriousness: "Uncle Luo, I can't help you make up your mind about whether to support the stall. I am good at settling accounts. I will tell you about the profits and expenses here."
Luo San nodded hurriedly: "Yeah, waiter, tell me, Uncle Luo is listening."
"There is only one butcher stall in Xiqiao Town. The price is very expensive. If you go there and set up a stall, you will end up facing that butcher stall. There is not such a good business in the town. A butcher stall is just about the same. Either he will be squeezed out, or he will be squeezed out.
You can't do it. If you don't do business well, it will block other people's livelihoods. Only by being friendly can you make money. It's best to discuss it nicely with the person, give him some money, and transfer his stall. It will save you trouble and worry, and you can still do it.
Let him introduce some old customers to you. The important thing is where he caught the pigs, which is better than asking for it yourself.
Then the money for turning into a meat stall will not be too little. You must know the profit from selling meat better than me.
Besides, there are many people in Yongning City, and there are many people who can afford to eat meat. But you just went there, and the money you paid for paying homage to the dock is a sum of money.
When people see you as strangers, they may not take care of their business. It will take a while and they can only do sporadic business. As far as I know, several markets in Yongning City have to pay money every month. This is the second
Pen.
Speaking of pigs and sheep, there must be meat for sale every day. Otherwise, there will be a shortage every now and then. People who buy meat will not see it once or twice, and they will not come the third time. After all, there are many stalls selling meat in Yongning City...
…”
Luo San nodded vigorously.
I felt that everything the waiter said was on point.
"That's right, why can't I make up my mind? I'm worried about running out of land to catch pigs, buying sheep, and not being able to provide wild animals... We can survive the rest for a few months." Luo San
hurriedly said.
Yan Yu spread his hands: "Uncle Luo, don't you think clearly about this? You know that the key lies in the meat."
"Hehe! I still haven't turned this corner. During this period, I followed Huju Yongning every day and made some money selling meat. In my father's words, it was like floating..." Luo San said embarrassedly.
"Uncle Luo, there is one more thing." Yan Yu had to remind him: "You set up a meat stall at the gate of the city, and the meat you sell is cheaper than in the city."
That's why it's easy to sell, and that's why it sells out so quickly.
People who buy things tend to go to whatever is cheapest.
You can set up a fixed stall and try it, pay all kinds of expenses, and go to the market wherever you go. The prices are all about the same, and you can see if people come.
Just like the Yan family's charcoal business, she squatted at the city gate and delivered door-to-door goods, just to avoid those colleagues who had been in business for many years.
She is currently only doing a sporadic charcoal business, which does not affect the production of large amounts of charcoal and firewood. Yan Yu is also the first to eat crabs. No one has ever taken a fancy to such a small profit before, so she is like this.
Successfully spread the charcoal trading bit by bit.
…
The prince received a well-wrapped bundle.
Opening it layer by layer, the flavor in the memory becomes stronger and stronger.
He couldn't wait, so he tore a piece off and put it in his mouth to chew.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling satisfied.
Yes, it has this texture and this taste.
"Is it the younger one from the Yan family who is here to deliver it?" asked Eunuch Wang.
"He is a young boy. He is said to be the second boy of the Yan family."
The prince laughed and did not correct his "boy" statement.
"Why didn't you come in?"
This man then learned what Yan Yu said.
The prince laughed even harder.
"Little monkey... go to the city gate and ask around. Where did the charcoal seller come from? Is it her family's business?"
The prince opened the altar again.
His face looked happy.
It’s radish tassel!
He hurriedly picked a few pancakes with chopsticks and placed them neatly in the middle of the pancakes. He rolled up the pancakes with both hands and put them into his mouth.
I couldn't help but let out a sigh.
The kid next to me looked at it with envy, is it so delicious?
After the prince finished eating one, he wiped his hands and rinsed his mouth with tea to remove the smell.
When he saw the person, he refused to leave. He stared at his pancakes and said, "What? You look greedy. Do you want to try it?"
This guy admitted it honestly.
"Father-in-law, I see you are enjoying the food. I want to know what it tastes like."
The prince sighed and said: "Then you tear half of it and try it. It's not that we are stingy, it's this pancake. You foreigners are not used to eating it, so it's wasted..."
The boy got what he said and carefully pulled half of it off.
My hands are already very light, but when I pull it, slag still falls off.
It was hard to get it into my mouth.
Chew, chew, chew...
It's not that delicious, it looks a bit like noodles.
Eunuch Wang knew what he was thinking as soon as he looked at his expression: "Okay, our family has to go to the prince's errand. You go to the city gate to find out and then come back."
With a smile, he rewrapped the pancakes and stuffed the pickle jar.
