A red sun slowly rises from the horizon, casting wisps of sunlight onto the earth.
The sound of cock crows wakes people up from their sleep, and the smoke gradually rises above the West Village.
After Su Qing finished eating, she took Fuzi and Kang He to the town, while Aunt Jinhua stayed at home to cook lunch.
Su Qing sat on the bullock cart and swayed her calves. She was wearing a pink dress today, with a bun on her head and two pink hairpins.
The clothes showed that her skin color was very fair, and she looked petite and cute.
When we arrived in town and passed by Zuixian Tower, the smell of hot sauce floated in the air.
Su Qing looked at the crowd in the restaurant and couldn't help but nodded. It seemed that her hot sauce tasted pretty good.
Su Qing went to the small teahouse where she set up her stall last time. Some customers who recognized her had already gathered around her to see what new gadgets she would sell this time.
Su Qing made a fresh dish using spicy sauce. It was full of aroma and made people salivate.
When she saw that most of the people were coming, she took a deep breath and said, "Uncles and aunties, this is the spicy sauce I pickled myself. The dishes made with it are special with rice."
"And Zuixianlou's new dishes are also made with my hot sauce. A jar only costs eight cents. It's affordable and plentiful. If you buy it, you'll make a profit."
A small jar of hot sauce can at least feed an average family for a month, so she sells it for eight cents a jar, which is already a very cheap price.
Su Qing also taught everyone how to use chili sauce, and soon the chili sauce was sold out. She brought a hundred cans this time, sold them all, and got 800 coins.
"Miss, you are so awesome, you sold out all the hot sauce so quickly."
Fuzi looked at Su Qing with starry eyes. He admired Su Qing especially now. She always spent the least time and made the most money.
"When doing business, the first thing you need to do is be able to speak out. You need to explain the functions of your products and beautify them a little on the original basis."
Su Qing slowly explained to the two of them that her business would get bigger and bigger in the future, and there would be times when she couldn't take care of it alone, so she planned to train them.
"Being honest and trustworthy is the foundation for establishing a foothold in the business world. Only with good reputation can we have more customers. Remember that?"
Moreover, she has also observed that Fuzi and Kang He are neat and thoughtful in doing things, and they have cheerful and confident personalities that get along well with others. They are two good talents.
"Thank you for the tip, Miss."
The two hurriedly answered Su Qing. They looked at each other and saw endless joy and excitement in each other's eyes.
I thought they would live a mediocre life like this, but I didn't expect that the young lady would cultivate them in this way. They will definitely not let down the young lady's expectations.
Su Qing ordered another 200 sets of clay pots from Boss Wang, paid the deposit and went to the dental shop.
The shop matters should also be put on the agenda.
Renyazi took her to see three shops, and the one she liked the most was the one in the center of the town.
The shop was renovated, and there was a small courtyard behind it, which was just right for their family to live in. Su Qing asked about the price, and it cost about two hundred taels of silver.
Her current deposit was just two hundred taels, and if she bought it, she would be back before liberation. After much hesitation, she decided to sell the shop.
She came to town this time with the intention of buying a shop, so she brought all the banknotes with her.
After completing the formalities and getting the property deed, Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief and felt more at ease.
When Su Qing got home, she told Aunt Jinhua about the shop, planning to move there tomorrow and open the shop the day after tomorrow.
"Is Miss Jinhua here?"
Matchmaker Zhang shouted loudly outside the door. Next to her stood a woman about forty years old.
The woman is quite pretty, the material of her clothes is better than coarse cloth, and she has a silver hairpin in her hair.
"Come in and sit down."
As soon as Aunt Jinhua opened the door, she saw the woman and Matchmaker Zhang standing outside. She glanced at Matchmaker Zhang and said calmly.
This matchmaker Zhang helped Tian Li sell Su Qing last time, but she still has the nerve to do it this time.
Aunt Jinhua didn't show her displeasure on her face. Although she didn't like Matchmaker Zhang, she still had to have the proper etiquette.
Su Qing served the two of them tea and sat aside to listen to their conversation. There must be something wrong with the matchmaker's visit, so she had to keep an eye on her aunt to prevent her from being bullied.
"Girl Jinhua, I'm here today to propose marriage to Su Yatou. The person next to me wants to make an appointment with Su Qing in advance, so that they can get married after her son reaches high school."
Su Qing looked at Matchmaker Zhang's cheerful face and felt that she was an eyesore. She was trying to pull some tricks this time.
"My surname is Li, just call me Mrs. Li. My son is now a scholar and is studying in the town. Although he is a scholar, farmer, industrialist, and businessman, his status as a businessman is a little lower, but our family doesn't mind. We will hold a happy event after my son is in high school.
, this is more decent, what do you think, madam?"
Aunt Jinhua did not answer but looked at Su Qing. Although the other party was a scholar and had good conditions, after all, this was Su Qing's lifelong event, and she still wanted to ask Su Qing's opinion.
Although children's marriages have been ordered by parents and matchmakers since ancient times, she didn't want Su Qing to marry someone she didn't like.
"Then according to this lady's opinion, if the young master fails in his lifetime, I will never marry again?"
Su Qing raised her eyebrows and asked. Although Mrs. Li is well dressed, she is not much better. Moreover, her son is a scholar and will go to Beijing to take the exam in half a year.
According to common sense, she should be concerned about her son now, so how can she have time to propose marriage? She has to hold a wedding after he is in high school, who knows when he will be in high school.
And if they really get married, she will not only take care of the scholar, but also prepare the money for the scholar. According to Su Qing, the engagement is fake, and the money fraud is real.
"How could my son not win? This is nonsense."
Mrs. Li slapped the table, looked at Su Qing angrily, and said sternly.
"It's an engagement, how much do you plan to get as a betrothal gift?"
Su Qing asked, she wanted to see how much Mrs. Li would bring out.
"Five taels."
Mrs. Li couldn't help but become a little arrogant, as if giving you five taels of silver was because she was looking up to you, so she didn't know what was good or bad.
Five taels of silver was indeed quite a lot in the village, but in Su Qing's opinion, just wanting to book her with just five taels of silver was no different from being a wolf with nothing.
"I can't afford Madam's love. Madam, please come back."
Su Qing directly issued an eviction order, so she didn't bother to play with her. Whoever wants these five taels can take them. Anyway, her Su family is not short of money.
"Don't be ignorant. You are a small vendor. I think highly of you by giving you five taels. My son is a scholar, but you are the one who has risen above me."
Mrs. Li was unhappy on the spot and pointed at Su Qing's nose.
Giving her five taels was a way of looking down on her. If she was just a street vendor, she wouldn't look down on her if he couldn't make money.
"Come on, who is chasing whom? Do you think our Su family will be short of those five taels of silver, which is not even enough to pay monthly payments to our servants? Give it to whomever you like. I don't care about it anyway."
Su Qing said bluntly, she didn't know who was climbing the ladder, and she still had no idea whether her son would pass the exam or not.
"Besides, if your son is really good, there will definitely be a lot of girls rushing to come to your house. Why do you have to come to my Su's house to propose marriage? Besides, I have the final say in my marriage. It's Aunt Jinhua's idea.
Just stop fighting."
Su Qing's last sentence completely frustrated Mrs. Li's wishful thinking.
Before she came here, she heard that Su Qing had a fierce temper, but she didn't expect that this girl was still difficult to deal with. It seemed that she would have to think of other ways when she returned, otherwise her son's efforts would be in vain.
