In the evening, Xiaokang and Xiaoqi pooled their monthly savings together. If the location and the house were not that good, it should be enough to rent it to the Yuntian brothers for a month.
As for next month, they can only think of another way, either wait for the tortoise jelly business to make money, or wait for Tian An to pay them their monthly salary.
But what they hoped more was that the tortoise jelly could make money so that they could buy a decent dowry for Tian An before she got married.
The next morning, they got up on their own without Pingxing and the others calling them.
On the way, they explained everything, "Pingxing, continue to look for a suitable yard. Pingsheng, go help the Yuntian brothers set up their stall. Be careful not to be discovered by people they know."
After sending them to the school, Pingxing and Pingsheng began to separate as instructed.
Although Pingxing found a dental clinic before dark yesterday, it was closed when he got there because it was too late, so he had to go again today.
The man from the brokerage firm was a bit embarrassed when he heard his request. "We do have a yard like the one you mentioned, but you're only renting it for one month. I'm afraid the owner won't be happy about it."
Pingxing corrected him, "We're not renting for just one month. We're renting it temporarily. We'll renew the lease when we have enough money. Why don't you go and ask the landlord? What if he's willing?"
Even if we don't want to, we can still look for other courtyards! The capital is so big and he is not the only one with a courtyard."
Although he failed to enter the brokerage firm yesterday, he did inquire around. After the provincial and palace examinations, students from far away who came to Beijing to take the exams, those who passed were assigned to take up official positions, while those who failed also gave up their leases and returned home. Now is the off-season for renting houses, and there are many vacant yards, which can be rented at a cheaper price than usual.
The yaxing was so angry that he shut up, took the key and took him to see the yard.
Everything went smoothly in Pingxing, and in Pingsheng, after meeting the Yuntian brothers near the house on Donglin Street, the three of them went to the shop where they bought things yesterday to pick up the things.
Then they split up again. Pingsheng took the rest of the tables, benches, bowls, spoons and other things to the place that Xiaokang and Xiaoqi had booked in advance to set up the stall.
The two Yuntian brothers took the shoulder pole, bucket and jar and returned to Donglin Street to pick up the tortoise jelly they had ordered yesterday.
Seeing the two of them coming, Qingmei led them into the yard and asked, "Have you cleaned all the buckets?"
The two of them shook their heads and said, "Not yet."
They just got the things back, why would they rush to wash them?
Qingmei paused and reminded, "The things you put food in must be clean." Then she turned around and led the two of them towards the well.
Afraid that they didn't know how to wash, I personally fetched water for them to demonstrate before letting them do it themselves.
There were two buckets, one filled with tortoise jelly, one filled with fresh milk, and a can filled with condensed milk.
The two brothers followed Qingmei's example and washed their clothes carefully inside and out for a full quarter of an hour. Only when they felt they were clean did they let Qingmei come and see.
Qingmei carefully checked the buckets and jars, and only after making sure that everything was alright did she join them in carrying the buckets to load the things.
They were also given clean gauze for free to cover the mouth of the bucket and the mouth of the jar before putting on the lid.
Afraid that they wouldn't know how to make it, I patiently taught them how much tortoise jelly, fresh milk, and condensed milk to put in each portion.
Finally, he sent them out, and along the way he kept reminding them: "Be careful on the road, it's okay to go slowly, don't spill it.
Always remember to wash your hands before serving tortoise jelly to customers so that they won’t dislike it.
Buckets and jars must be cleaned promptly after use each day.
Shout loudly and be sweet to customers..."
The two carefully wrote down what Qingmei said, and only stopped at the door to say goodbye to her: "Aunt, go back! We will remember it."
"Please slow down!" Qingmei stood at the door and watched them walk out of the alley before turning back. "What a poor child!"
When Yuntian, sweating profusely, arrived at the agreed place carrying two large buckets of tortoise jelly and fresh milk, Pingsheng had already set up the stall. He also found some water nearby to wash the bowls and spoons, and wiped the tables and stools.
Seeing them coming, he hurried forward to help.
When Yuntian put down the bucket and the burden, he slumped down on the stool and didn't even want to say that he was tired.
Yun Xu carefully put down the can of condensed milk and went to fan his brother with a broken bamboo fan.
Pingsheng saw that he was so tired, so he didn't urge him.
After he had rested enough, he hurriedly got up and made preparations.
The place they came to was the entrance of a private school in the outer city, next to the main street, so there was a lot of traffic.
After getting everything ready, Yuntian asked Yunxu to start shouting.
Last night, Yun Xu had already found the words to shout when he returned home. He cleared his throat and said, "Selling Guilinggao! Eat Guilinggao for getting a sore throat, for staying up late, for removing dampness, for beautifying and nourishing the skin, and for maintaining health and wellness!"
Delicious and inexpensive tortoise jelly..."
He had a loud and resonant voice, and his words were fresh, which soon attracted people.
"Is your tortoise jelly authentic?"
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. From what he said, I knew that he had eaten tortoise jelly before.
Yun Xu walked forward and greeted him with a smile, "Uncle, we don't have the final say on whether it's authentic or not. You can buy a bowl and try it and you'll know."
The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Alright! Give me a bowl to try." After a pause, he said, "How much is a bowl of your tortoise jelly?"
Yun Xu said, "It sells for ten coins in the inner city, but only nine coins here."
"Hiss, one cent is missing. Is there something wrong with this tortoise jelly?" The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and then he saw that they were just two children. He immediately felt that the tortoise jelly might have been cut corners.
Seeing this, Yuntian, who was about to fill the tortoise jelly, quickly put down the spoon in his hand and explained, "Uncle, we guarantee that this tortoise jelly is the same as the one in the inner city. The reason why it is one penny less is because the bowls we use are not as exquisite as the ones in the inner city store, and the place is not as elegant as theirs, so we charged one penny less.
If you don’t believe me, try it. If it’s different from the ones in the inner city, I won’t charge you any money.”
The middle-aged man was convinced by his reasoning and walked over to the table and sat down with a big laugh. "Young people are really formidable! You two kids may look small, but you're quite honest in your business dealings."
Yun Xu looked proud and said, "Of course, if the food is good, please come often!"
"Okay, if your tortoise jelly is authentic, I will definitely come here often." The middle-aged man said readily.
While the two were talking, Yuntian had already brought a bowl of tortoise jelly mixed with fresh milk and condensed milk.
Without a word, the middle-aged man picked up the spoon and scooped a piece of tortoise jelly into his mouth. After tasting it carefully, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Yes, yes, that's the taste, right! It's so delicious after one bite."
Yun Xu took the opportunity to sell his goods, which attracted a lot of people.
