Chapter 113 Echoing Each Other

On the day the teahouse opened, Hua Wanli originally planned to accompany Shangguan Jin.

Seeing that there were so many people in the teahouse, she realized she didn't have time to keep them company, so she had to help out with Qiu Niang as well.

"Young master, we have enough staff in the building. You don't need to work anymore, go and rest!"

Qiu Niang dared not show any displeasure to this young lady who couldn't help her at all.

Hua Wanli thought about it and realized that she was right; what help could she possibly offer?

It's good enough if they don't make things worse.

"Then I'll go to the back door and give those people steamed buns. They've been waiting all morning, they must be starving," Hua Wanli suggested.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Niang realized that no one had taken care of the steamed buns and hot porridge that had been prepared before.

"Then thank you for your trouble, young master," Qiu Niang said hurriedly.

Hua Wanli waved her hand, changed into a simple and less flamboyant outfit, and went to the back door of the teahouse.

As soon as the back door opened, a group of beggars who had been waiting there lined up in an orderly fashion.

Yesterday, Chun Buwan's two servants told them.

On opening day, there will be big white steamed buns for everyone; just wait at the back door.

Is there anything the beggar leader doesn't understand?

There are bound to be many customers at the front door, so asking them to go through the back door is just to make things easier for the teahouse!

The back door of Chun Bu Wan creaked open, and four servants immediately set out a long table.

Baskets of large white steamed buns were carried out, along with two large pots steaming hot.

"Line up, don't fight, everyone gets a share."

Two large steamed buns and a bowl of hot porridge for each person.

"It's alright if you don't have bowls. We've prepared some. Just leave the bowls here when you're done drinking, and we'll return them to you next time," Hua Wanli said with a smile to the beggar leader.

The beggar leader smiled, looked at the steaming buns and hot porridge, and swallowed.

"Be careful when you eat later, don't eat like you're starving ghosts reincarnated."

Don't get the area behind Spring Never Ends dirty.

The Lord's family treats us as human beings, so we should also treat them as human beings.

The leader of the beggars gave a long explanation to the beggars in line.

The beggars, big and small, behind him all nodded in agreement.

They lined up one by one to get steamed buns and porridge.

The beggars were all orderly.

Several children took the steamed buns, then glanced reluctantly at the porridge, but still wanted to run back.

"Come back! Eat your food before you go back and get some more porridge." Hua Wanli called out to the children.

"Girl, let them go back. They need to go back and give the steamed buns to the old folks who can't walk anymore," the beggar leader sighed.

Hua Wanli still served porridge to each child.

"Eat your food before you go back. When you go back, each of you can take two steamed buns with you. Finish your porridge here first," Hua Wanli insisted.

This is the rule of the Wanhualou in Jiangnan.

Welcoming guests from all directions at the gate, practicing good deeds behind the gate.

Upon hearing this, the little beggars immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times to Hua Wanli.

The beggar leader glanced at Hua Wanli and smiled.

This girl is kind-hearted and will be blessed with great fortune in the future!

"Thank you, young lady!" The beggar leader waved the steamed bun in his hand at Hua Wanli.

Hua Wanli smiled and then quickly added.

"On the first and fifteenth of each month, Chunbuwan will provide steamed buns and hot porridge to everyone."

Just remember to come over around noon.

Still in the same spot.

Upon hearing this, the leader of the beggars quickly stood up and bowed to Hua Wanli with his fists clasped in greeting.

Hua Wanli just smiled and watched the little beggars eat their steamed buns.

He would occasionally touch the forehead of the youngest child.

Half an hour later, all four baskets of steamed buns and two large pots of porridge were gone.

The beggars had all left, and the place was clean and tidy, without a trace of dirt.

Hua Wanli watched as the servant packed up his things, while also glancing at the alley where the beggars had left.

"Not bad, they all know the rules."

Outside the alley, the beggars, having eaten and drunk their fill, gathered together.

"From now on, everyone around Chunbuwan should be more careful. The host is so well-mannered, we can't just wipe our mouths and forget about it."

Don't let petty thieves operate near the Spring Festival Gala.

"If this gets out of hand, it'll affect their business," the beggar leader said seriously to everyone.

"Okay, we understand. We'll make sure the brothers are careful."

......

Hua Wanli was giving alms to the beggars at the back door.

Lian Qianli was seen in the building with his arm around the shoulders of some distinguished guests.

Whether it was the minor officials from the Merchant Guild who came to show their support, or the junior officers from the Military and Cavalry Bureau, even Qianli treated them like brothers.

He kept apologizing, saying that there were too many guests today and he had neglected his duties.

He then stuffed the purse containing the silver notes into the other person's arms.

"It's nothing, thank you for your hard work, brothers!"

It's already so cold outside, and they still have to come and take care of things. I feel really bad about it.

Brothers, let's have a hot drink to warm ourselves up!

"After these few days are over, I will definitely treat the brothers to a proper meal!"

We'll drink until we drop then.

......

Those words are so comforting!

They were just there to make a show of things, to let the surrounding businesses see that the Spring Festival Gala had some kind of backing.

Those of you who want to trip me up should think twice.

But once they arrived, they discovered that the young master of this household was quite a remarkable person!

Look, those who have powerful backers can order their people around like they're their own servants, summoning them at will and dismissing them at will.

Even Young Master Lian has good judgment.

Not only did they prepare a gift for everyone, but they also gave each person a purse...

They were rough men and had little interest in tea tasting or anything like that.

Bitter tea leaves can't possibly get their blood pumping like fine wine!

After we've eaten and drunk our fill, maybe we can even go for a stroll around Xiushui Tower...

The Qianli siblings were extremely busy.

Shangguan Jin, while drinking tea with Madam Shangguan, felt extremely comfortable.

The better the business, the more money she gets at the end of the year.

Furthermore, she also found these tea ladies and tea gentlemen pleasing to the eye.

We should go out for tea more often in the future...

However, Shangguan Jin quickly thought of a problem.

If that guy Shen Huaichen comes back again and asks her, "Shangguan Jin, have you managed to accomplish anything during this time?!"

How should she answer?

Am I supposed to say that I've created Chongqing's first tea-themed KTV club...?

Forehead......

Forget it, whatever. Anyway, it's my own business now. Who knows how Shen Huaichen is doing in Beihu!

They might not even be able to solve their basic needs for food and clothing!

......

In the city of North Husaha, everyone is rushing towards the same place today.

I heard that a new restaurant has opened in Sahara City. It has the capital of Prince Achig and is managed by Mr. Du, the prince's advisor.

The name doesn't sound like a restaurant name given by people from the Northern Hu region at all.

Why call it "True Jiangnan" of all things!

Is there any difference between the real and fake Jiangnan region?
