She took out twenty coins from her purse and gave them to him: "This is for the expenses of going to the mansion."
The last time she went to the mansion with the Tong family father and daughter, she had given him ten cents for the ride. This time, because she wanted him to wait a while, she took an extra ten cents.
Li the driver only charged ten coins: "The distance is short, even if it is a chartered car, ten coins is enough."
"Okay, wait a moment, we'll be back after we sell the pheasants."
Yan Funing put the ten copper coins back into her purse and jumped out of the car.
Coachman Li waved his hand: "No rush."
I just took a bus full of passengers to town and won't be returning so soon.
It is a great thing to earn an extra ten cents by running a short distance.
Not long after, Yan Funing took Fu Beimo and Ali to Liuji Restaurant first.
"Uncle Liu, I'm here."
As soon as she entered the door, she shouted crisply.
Shopkeeper Liu, who was checking his accounts on an abacus, looked up and said with a happy smile, "My daughter is here, just in time!"
He picked up a piece of paper and waved at her.
Yan Funing took a few quick steps and saw that the paper clearly recorded the sales volume of nourishing medicinal foods in the past five or six days.
"The medicinal food is very popular," said Shopkeeper Liu. "On the first two days, few people ordered it, but in the following days, it gradually increased, and some even came back after trying it."
Yan Funing said, "It's good to be welcomed. Then I can think of other medicinal dishes."
"Girl, how about we calculate the commission from the sales in the past few days?"
Yan Funing smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, let's forget about the commission we took during the trial period. How about we sign an agreement today and officially start our cooperation?"
Shopkeeper Liu pointed at her forehead, his joy evident in his words.
"You are such a lovely girl!"
The commission taken in the past few days is not counted. He is a generous person.
If you want to make an agreement, it must be written down in black and white and protected by the laws of the time.
The beautiful girl in front of me is generous and serious. She will definitely do great things in the future!
After saying this, Manager Liu spread out the rice paper and picked up the pen to write the agreement.
When he came to the part about the commission, he paused and said, "Girl, for every serving of medicinal food you sell, I'll give you five cents as a commission. If you think it's too low, just tell me."
Yan Funing shook her head and chuckled: "I just thought about the menu. Five cents a piece, it's not cheap."
Shopkeeper Liu nodded: "Then I'll write it down."
"Um."
After the two agreements were written, both of them signed them.
Shopkeeper Liu looked at her signature and said with a smile, "Yan Funing, what a nice name."
"Uncle Liu's name is Liu Song, which is also a good name."
"This is an ordinary name." But he was happy to receive the compliment, so he smiled and gave her a copy of the agreement, "My daughter, keep it."
Yan Funing took it, folded it and put it in her sleeve pocket.
Liu Song finally had time to look at the backpack: "What mountain products do you have today?"
"Just two pheasants."
Yan Funing signaled Fu Beimo to come forward with the pheasant.
Liu Song raised his hand and ordered the waiter to take the pheasant to the back kitchen, while he took out one or two taels of silver from the counter and gave it to Yan Funing.
After leaving the restaurant, Yan Funing took Fu Beimo and Ali back to the ox cart.
Coachman Li cracked his whip, and the carriage passed the market and headed east.
It’s only two miles and we arrived in no time.
The area around the high-walled house was very quiet, but surprisingly, there was a carriage parked outside the house today.
The coachman and his attendants stood outside the carriage, looking anxiously waiting for someone.
It can be seen that this car does not belong to the residence, but to a visitor.
After getting out of the car, Yan Funing went forward and knocked on the door.
There was no movement in the yard.
Coachman Li raised his big hand and knocked hard on the door: "Is anyone here?"
Fu Beimo and Ali were not willing to be outdone and also knocked on the door.
Yan Funing said, "The owner of this house likes quietness, so let's be a little gentle."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door creaked open.
The middle-aged butler I had seen last time poked his head out and was about to curse when he saw it was Yan Funing. He said unhappily, "Young lady, you've been here once and know the rules. Why are you still so rude?"
Li the coachman shouted in a loud voice: "It's not the girl who is rude, it's us. Don't blame the wrong person."
The middle-aged butler glanced at him and looked at Yan Funing.
"Sorry, we'll be more careful next time." Yan Funing said calmly, "Lingzhi, are you still going to take it?"
"Collect." He only uttered one word, turned sideways, and motioned Yan Funing to come in.
After Yan Funing entered the house, he stopped Fu Beimo and Ali outside the door who wanted to follow her in.
"No outsiders are allowed to enter!"
After saying that, the door slammed shut.
Fu Beimo and Ali cursed as they were almost hit on the nose.
Li Zuoyou, the coachman, patted their shoulders and said, "This house is just like this, very arrogant. Let's go back to the car and wait."
In the courtyard, Yan Funing was walking on the wooden corridor under the guidance of her maid.
Just like the last time she came back, she heard violent coughing again.
I came to the second room on the right, but the lady I had bargained with last time was gone.
At this time, a maid in apricot-colored clothes came in and said, "Madam is in Xuanzhu Hall now. Miss, you can go wait outside Xuanzhu Hall."
Yan Funing nodded: "Thank you for leading the way!"
The maid in apricot-colored clothes raised her hand to invite her in, and Yan Funing followed her.
After turning a few corners in the corridor, I arrived outside a hall in the backyard.
The maid asked Yan Funing to wait outside while she went in to report.
Yan Funing looked around.
This hall is built of bamboo and is covered with curtains layered around it. When the breeze blows, the curtains dance lightly, creating a fairy-like feeling.
What surprised her was that there was a coughing sound in the hall just now, and as she got closer, the coughing sound became lighter and lighter.
Until now, I haven't heard anything.
Not long after, an old woman came out. She was the same old woman who had bargained for the price last time.
