Chapter 448: Doing Business in the Store
Originally, Cha Zhenghao and his second brother were very nervous, but seeing Shen Dongjia's confident and calm expression, they slowly calmed their breathing.
But I still couldn't help but feel nervous.
They held their breath and looked at Mr. Shen, not knowing whether Mr. Shen could cure Maocai's stuttering.
Maocai is indeed the hope of their entire tea family.
Among so many young people, only Maocai had some talent in studying and passed the examination to become a scholar.
If the tea family wants to avoid being bullied and exploited, and not be looked down upon because of their status as merchants, they can only place their hopes on Maocai.
This child is smart and has a good temper. He never talks about the pressure of his family.
But because of his stuttering, he felt inferior and dared not communicate normally with others.
They looked anxious.
I have traveled far and wide to see so many famous doctors and consulted so many physicians, but nothing works.
They were really anxious.
The people in the tea caravan didn't even bother to eat. They were in no mood at all. They all stood up and watched with bated breath, as if they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
To everyone in the Cha family, Cha Maocai is the hope of the entire family.
For Shen Yueyao, stuttering is really just a small problem.
But she still had to follow the procedure and take the pulse first.
Let’s first check if Cha Maocai has any other health problems.
When Shen Yueyao was taking the pulse, the hall was extremely quiet, so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.
Shangguan Kang also consciously kept silent.
He looked at the people at the table. They didn't look like people from the capital. They were rough-built, unkempt, and looked like people from the mountains.
But Sister Shen is also good-tempered.
If it were another store, people wouldn't be allowed in if they were dressed like this.
Although Shangguan Kang was well protected by his family, he also understood some of the ways of the world.
He also knew many of the rules of the noble families in the capital.
Looking at the worried expressions of these people, Shangguan Kang couldn't help but think of his father who often couldn't sleep because he was worried about his health, and he couldn't help but feel touched.
His body was cleared of the poison, he was less irritable, and he gradually realized how much the people around him had sacrificed for him.
He thought of how his father had worried about him over the years, and his expression changed.
Perhaps at this moment, he understood his father's feelings for him.
Or maybe he already understood it, but because of his physical condition, he didn't dare to have too much contact with his father.
He was afraid that one day he would really die and his father would not be able to bear it.
But if he acted like an ignorant person, he thought, if he were gone, his father wouldn't be so sad.
But now that the poison was removed, he thought about it carefully and felt that what he had done before was wrong.
He thought he would be nice to his father in the future.
After Shen Yueyao took Cha Maocai's pulse, she said, "There's nothing wrong with his body. His physical condition is good, and his nutrition is adequate."
"And he's not as weak as an ordinary scholar, which shows that he exercises regularly."
The journey from Qingzhou to the capital following the tea caravan was quite a journey of training.
In fact, Cha Maocai did not just study in Qingzhou. When it was time to pick tea, he would also go to the tea garden on the mountain to help pick tea leaves.
So he didn't just study without exercising.
In addition, the Cha family is not a poor family. They are engaged in business, so their food, clothing, and housing are naturally good, not to mention that the entire family has allocated resources to Cha Maocai.
Of course, there is no problem with his food, accommodation and diet.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Mr. Shen say that Maocai was in good health.
Shen Yueyao checked Cha Maocai's throat again and said, "You must have been stimulated when you were a child. You are not born mute. You speak like this after being stimulated. Later, the doctor prescribed some medicine for you. You should feel better after taking it..."
"But due to psychological factors, you haven't been able to overcome your inner problems. You're always timid when talking to people, afraid to look them in the eye, and you stutter..."
"Later, when you were studying with your classmates, they looked at you strangely and laughed at you behind your back. You became even more self-deprecating and your speech became more stammering... At one point, you even dared not speak..."
After Shen Yueyao checked, she combined the questions and told all her guesses.
Little did they know that after Shen Yueyao finished speaking, everyone in the Cha family was stunned.
Everyone looked at Mr. Shen with incredible and shocked eyes.
If everyone was not sure that they had never seen Boss Shen, and Cha Maocai had never met Boss Shen before, they would have thought that Boss Shen had seen him with his own eyes, which was why he knew so many details.
Everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.
Cha Maocai changed his inferiority complex and looked up at Shen Yueyao in shock.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Shen Yueyao knew that she had guessed right.
Cha Zhenghao came back to his senses and exclaimed in amazement: "Boss Shen, you are truly amazing, that's it."
"You are absolutely right."
“It feels like seeing it with your own eyes.”
After a pause, Cha Zhenghao said worriedly, "But I don't know if he can get better."
I saw other doctors before, and they all shook their heads.
Even Cha Maocai wanted to get better. He didn't want his father and uncle to ask others for help anymore.
He wanted to overcome it, but he...
Shen Yueyao said: "That's no problem, but I want to know how he was stimulated when he was a child."
"This is very important for the treatment of his stuttering."
"But if it's inconvenient to talk about it, you can go to the private room first."
After all, there are a lot of people in the hall.
Cha Zhenghao shook his head and said, "There's nothing I can't tell you. When Maocai was still young, my second brother and I were out doing business. Bandits broke into the village and robbed the tea. They killed people and there was blood. My father lost a leg to protect Maocai, and Maocai felt very guilty about it."
"He always has to light a lamp by his bed when he goes to sleep at night, otherwise he'll be scared. He's seen a doctor and received treatment, but it's no use."
"Mocai was about four years old at that time."
"Actually, when Maocai was one year old, he was very fluent and polite in the village. Everyone said he was smart and clever. The villagers liked him very much, and he had a lively personality..."
"But ever since the incident, he's become quiet, rarely goes out, and rarely plays with his friends."
"It was also from that time that he started staying at home and reading..."
Cha Zhenghao explained the basic situation.
Shen Yueyao said: "I want to help him forget this bad experience. Forgetting will help him let go of his psychological trauma. It is better to forget than to overcome it."
Cha Zhenghao's second brother widened his eyes. It was the first time he heard such a statement.
"Forget... is it still possible to forget?"
"How can I forget this memory? Won't my brain be damaged? Will I forget all the memories?"
Cha Zhenghao's second brother was very worried and couldn't help asking a few more questions.
Cha Zhenghao hurriedly grabbed his second brother, fearing that his second brother's words would make Shen Dongjia unhappy and he would not give Maocai treatment.
Mr. Shen said it can be cured, and that is their hope.
And he believed in Mr. Shen.
Didn’t that person just say that he had seen so many doctors but to no avail, and it was only Mr. Shen who cured him?
They have to trust the doctor.
Cha Zhenghao's second brother hurriedly bowed and apologized to Shen Yueyao, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, I was too impulsive just now."
Shen Yueyao is not a petty person, and these are all normal questions.
People in this era do not understand the medical skills of the technological age, nor do they understand hypnosis methods, so they are naturally worried.
Besides, it’s actually good that they can trust her. After all, this is a milk tea and dessert shop, not a clinic.
Shen Yueyao is confident in her medical skills, partly because of her medical skills and partly because of the healing power of spiritual energy.
Shen Yueyao said: "Don't worry, I'm just helping him forget the memory of when he was four years old. It won't affect his other memories. After he forgets it, everyone should try not to mention the things about when he was four years old to him. On the way from here to Qingzhou and back, treat him as a normal person, and he will naturally speak fluently."
"To put it bluntly, this is mainly a psychological problem."
In fact, there are also some brain problems.
But Shen Yueyao can use spiritual energy to help him repair it.
When Shen Yueyao said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yueyao didn't want anyone to know about the hypnosis method and the healing method using spiritual energy, so she went to a separate and quiet private room.
He only brought Cha Maocai in.
Shen Yueyao used silver needle acupuncture, hypnosis, and spiritual energy treatment...
It will be fine in half an hour, which is about an hour.
Shen Yueyao wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Cha Zhenghao and the others were walking back and forth outside, waiting anxiously.
After Shen Yueyao came out, he hurriedly wanted to ask something.
Shen Yueyao didn't wait for them to ask, and said directly: "Don't worry, everything will be fine when he wakes up."
Cha Zhenghao was stunned for a moment, still unable to believe it, and asked, "Boss Shen, is stuttering really okay?"
"Well, you'll know when he wakes up."
Shen Yueyao is very confident in her medical skills and spiritual power.
So he spoke calmly and calmly.
Looking at Shen Yueyao's expression, Cha Zhenghao and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone looked at Shen Yueyao's expression and naturally believed what she said.
To be honest, everyone knows that Mr. Shen's business is so good that there is no need for him to be a doctor and treat people.
If she wasn't sure, she wouldn't say that.
Cha Zhenghao's eyes were red with excitement, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."
Cha Zhenghao's second brother and other members of the Cha family all bowed respectfully to Shen Yueyao.
Shen Yueyao could understand their feelings because she had met them before. She knew that these people had good personalities and characters. Although they were businessmen, they were not the kind of mercenary businessmen. Instead, they carried a refreshing and heroic spirit.
When we started talking about business, I didn't ask her for a higher price and I didn't hide anything when I spoke.
It was very good, so Shen Yueyao was willing to help them.
Maybe I can buy tea from them frequently in the future.
It’s just that Qingzhou is a bit far away.
But Su Xueyi will be arranged by the emperor to serve as an official in a local area, perhaps to a place very close to Qingzhou.
However, Su Xueyi did not say where they were going specifically. He only said that the emperor would discuss it with him and would also consider his opinions.
However, Su Xueyi also wanted to help the emperor deal with some things.
It is estimated that Su Xueyi will go to some place that is difficult to handle.
Shen Yueyao also needs to make preparations in advance.
Shen Yueyao said softly: "Mr. Tea is too polite. It's not too late to thank you later when Young Master Cha gets better."
Looking at Shen Yueyao's expression, Cha Zhenghao and the others felt a little relieved.
But he still looked at Cha Maocai anxiously and expectantly.
Shen Yueyao said: "You can go into the private room and wait, but it's best not to wake him up, let him wake up naturally."
"Yes, yes."
Shen Yueyao went out, and Shangguan Kang hurried over and said, "Sister Shen, are you done?"
"Well, I'm done. Just order whatever you want to eat. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
Anyway, there are pictures and prices, so you can see it clearly at a glance.
Even if you don't know what it is just by looking at the name, you can tell what it is by looking at the picture.
Shangguan Kang said: "Sister Chen, please recommend something to me. I think everything is delicious. Is there anything you recommend the most?"
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "Then I'll recommend you some signature dishes. But it's better to eat something light. Don't eat the cake for now. Eat some bread. Bread is light."
"By the way, the most popular bread lately is ham and sausage bread. It sells out every day, so it's perfect for us to have some now."
"This is a limited edition ham bread now, you can try it."
The people at the ham sausage workshop didn't hire many people at the beginning, so they didn't make a lot of ham sausages.
There are three stores that supply it, but they are all a little overwhelmed, so purchases can only be limited.
One customer can only buy one.
If you buy too much, the next customers won’t be able to buy anything.
Because some people think they are delicious, they buy more than ten or twenty pieces at a time, eat two, and take the rest home.
Some ladies arranged for their maids and nannies to come and buy things, and they bought a lot at once.
Some can buy dozens of them directly.
This is also because large families have many clansmen.
For them, a loaf of bread cost dozens of coins, and buying hundreds of them only cost a few taels of silver, which was really a bargain.
When they went to a restaurant to order a dish, it would cost more than ten taels of silver, and it was normal for a meal to cost more than one or two hundred taels of silver.
Of course, there are also many ordinary people in the capital.
They also live frugally and occasionally go to the store to buy some discounted bread.
Yes, every day Shen Yueyao would ask the store to offer discounted bread, such as bread slices.
It is also to attract more customers to visit the store.
Just like supermarkets often hold promotional activities, the purpose is to attract customers to shop in the store.
When there are more people, it is easier to sell things.
“What about milk tea, Sister Shen, the pearl milk tea I drank last time was delicious, do you have any other flavors to recommend?”
He was dazzled just by looking at the shapes of the milk tea in the paintings.
Shen Yueyao said: “You can try the mugwort milk tea that was just launched these two days.”
"Mugwort itself is good for the body, and it's great with some milk tea."
Shen Yueyao studied the secret recipe alone.
The response in the store was very good.
It is also because mugwort happens to be available in this season that Shen Yueyao can make this milk tea.
If this season is over and there is no mugwort, we won’t be able to make this kind of milk tea, so we can launch other milk teas.
We can also organize everyone to pick strawberries.
The strawberries are ripe and can be used to make strawberry bread cake.
You can also make strawberry ice cream.
Shen Yueyao likes to eat ice cream very much.
Eating some ice cream in summer is really refreshing.
Shangguan Kang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Sister Shen."
"You can eat in a private room or in the lobby. The private room is quiet, and the lobby is a little noisy, but it's not as noisy as a restaurant or teahouse."
The environment here is relatively quiet and peaceful, suitable for studying.
There were some scholars reading books at many tables.
There were also three or two women sitting together drinking milk tea and chatting.
There was also a little woman doing something in the corner.
When Shen Yueyao came over at noon, she took a quick look and saw that she seemed to be making velvet flowers.
Velvet flowers are a great test of craftsmanship. A well-made and beautiful velvet flower can be worth hundreds of taels of silver.
The key is that it looks good and is very popular nowadays.
Even Shen Yueyao couldn't help but admire the ancients' dexterity and wisdom after seeing it.
This is not a technological accessory from the technological age, but a true handicraft.
Next to her was a basket filled with silk threads of various colors, and she was using scissors to hook and tip the threads.
It is made very delicately, and a beautiful velvet flower is placed next to it.
At this moment, a woman in luxurious clothes came down from the private room upstairs.
As soon as she saw Ronghua here, she walked straight over, followed by the nanny and maid.
"This velvet flower of yours looks very nice. Did you make it yourself?"
The young woman whispered, "To answer Madam, I made it myself. There are other styles here."
As she spoke, the little woman took out five or six velvet flowers at once.
The woman looked at them and thought they were all good. "How much did I pay for all these?"
"Five taels of silver each, and these six together make thirty taels of silver."
The woman waved her hand casually and said, "Madame Dong, give me some silver."
"yes."
Nanny Na Dong hurriedly took out the silver and handed it to the young woman.
This price is much cheaper than the stores in the inner city.
After the young woman took the silver, she stopped working. With the silver in her pocket, she didn't dare to stay any longer and went home first.
She planned to come back the next day.
When Shen Yueyao saw this scene, she couldn't help but admire in her heart that this little woman was really smart.
It is indeed easier to do business in such a place.
Because their shop has a quiet environment, most of the customers are scholars or ladies from noble families.
And everyone knows that this store has a backer, so no one dares to cause trouble.
Even if you only order a cup of milk tea, you can sit there for an entire afternoon or morning.
You can also stay here for the whole day and order some bread to fill your stomach at noon.
You can get work done without affecting your business.
And the cost of staying here for a whole day is very low, at most a few dozen coins.
The little woman Shen Yueyao felt was really smart.
It made her appreciate it.
At this time, a group of scholars in the corner were also excitedly looking at the pinyin painted on the wall.
“This is Pinyin.”
"I didn't expect this milk tea dessert shop actually has pinyin. Shangguan Kang didn't lie to us."
"That's right, we've been curious about it for a long time, and finally we see pinyin."
"I heard that the bookstores in the inner city have also started to introduce pinyin."
"But it has to be available for purchase. There are so many people waiting for the bookstore to print it out. Before they even finish printing, it's already been reserved."
"But how do you pronounce this pinyin?"
The store manager walked over and said with a smile, "If you want to learn, I'll read it to you."
One of the scholars looked at the waiter with an incredible look.
Yes, even if they think this store is so elegant, the waiter is still a waiter, and in their eyes he is an uneducated person.
"Can you read?"
The store manager looked at their disbelief without getting angry. He pointed at the pinyin on the wall with a wooden stick and said, "This is pronounced..."
After reading it all, he explained, "I can read it. Everyone in our shop can read it. This is what our boss taught us. Our boss is the wife of Lord Su, who researched pinyin."
After hearing this, the scholars fell silent.
Nowadays, even a waiter knows pinyin, but they, as students of Lulin Academy, don’t know it at all.
It's so shameful.
At this time, another scholar, holding a book in his hands, was reading it with fascination and said, "Brother Feng, Brother Zhou, please take a look. This book is so interesting. It's full of fables and is full of wisdom."
“Hey, this is a children’s book, right?”
"But, but it's really beautiful."
