Chapter 151: Treat it like your own home
"Brother, there's no need to serve more. We won't be able to finish it if you serve more." Su Wan called out to the boy who was serving the food and stopped him.
"Miss Su, this is the last dish. After you finish your meal, there will be dessert. Please enjoy!"
There were twelve dishes on the table, which was full. The waiter who served the dishes replied, closed the door and left.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Su Wan silently asked Su Yun:
"Fourth brother, how much silver does this table of food cost?"
Su Yun heard this and frowned as he made an estimate:
"About ten or twenty taels, Su Wan, you're rich now, are you so generous?"
"Uh... I told you to just serve two dishes, but who knew they'd serve so many? Oh, never mind, brothers, pick up your chopsticks and eat quickly."
Su Wan swallowed and decided to just ignore it and treat it as a luxury.
To be honest, when the third and fifth brothers heard the price of this table of food, they felt like they were eating gold.
The dishes are indeed delicious, but four people can't finish the twelve dishes even if they stuff themselves to death.
At the end of the meal, there were still a lot of dishes left. We only ate the vegetables and didn’t eat much rice.
Shopkeeper Luo estimated the time and asked someone to come in to clear the plates and brought in a few cups of milk tea, which was the so-called after-meal dessert.
I have to say, the service is really unparalleled, and the food is delicious too. No wonder Yueman Xilou has such a good business.
After eating and drinking, Fourth Brother had already taken a look. Seeing that he was doing so well in Yueman Xilou and the guys there got along well with him, Su Wan had nothing to worry about.
After finishing the meal, Su Wan went to the front desk to pay the bill. She asked how much the meal cost, but Shopkeeper Luo refused to take any money from her.
"Miss Su, you are too polite. Just treat this place as your own home. Why do you have to pay for a meal? If the young master knew about this, my job as shopkeeper would be over."
Treat it like her own home, Su Wan thought, she wouldn't dare to do that.
It would be too rude for her to treat such a big restaurant as her own home.
"No, you still have to pay. If you don't, it will be like eating a free meal."
Su Wan insisted on giving it, but Manager Luo couldn't make money from her, so he just said a random number and only took three taels of silver for the meal.
He said three taels, so Su Wan gave him three taels. The main reason there was no receipt was because if he could get a receipt like in modern times, he would be able to see exactly how much he spent.
After paying the money, Manager Luo personally escorted Su Wan to the door.
Su Yun had to go back to work. It was not time for him to get off work yet, and he was reluctant to leave Su Wan and the others.
"Su Wan, you have to come visit me more often in the future."
Su Yun was alone in Xiangzhou Prefecture. It was the first time in his life that he was so far away from home. He was like a child, acting coquettishly with Su Wan.
"Okay, I will come to see you every time I come to Xiangzhou for business." Su Wan patted his shoulder gently to comfort him.
Su Yun watched Su Wan, Su Chen and Su Yi walk away, his eyes full of reluctance.
As Su Wan saw that it was still early, he walked around the city again and bought cloth to make clothes for his brothers. This time, he did not buy the simplest cotton and linen cloth, but bought slightly better ones with patterns, and made two sets for each of them.
When we get back, we'll ask Su's mother to sew it for them.
Counting the days, it was time for the second brother to leave. Su Wan bought him two white robes, hoping that he would look more respectable when traveling with the genius doctor.
The second brother looks absolutely stunning in white. He has a cool and unworldly temperament and is good-looking, so white, such a fairy-like color, is suitable for him. It also fits his future image as a genius doctor who is proficient in both medicine and poison.
The second brother in the original novel also loves white, and his wardrobe is all white.
After buying these clothes, fabrics, and some miscellaneous decorations, he spent almost eighty taels, but Su Wan was very happy shopping.
Shopping can really cure all bad emotions. You can eat, drink and have fun. If you are unhappy, you will be happy by shopping and eating. If you are not unhappy, you will become even happier.
…
The next morning, Su Wan took the four hundred bars of soap in the carriage and her two brothers and went straight to a cosmetics shop.
Su Wan had already inspected it last night. This cosmetics shop has a good flow of people. If he sells goat milk soap here, it will definitely be very popular.
If you want to go for the mid-to-high-end route in the future, you will have to find a more upscale store to act as your agent.
This cosmetics shop is called Jade Face Peach Blossom. When Su Wan came in, it was early in the morning and there were no customers yet. Only the proprietress was counting the bills at the front desk.
When she saw a customer coming, a little girl, she subconsciously thought that the customer had come to do business, but it turned out that the customer came to discuss business with her.
"Girl, it's so early, what do you want to buy?"
The proprietress came out to greet us with a smile. She looked less than 20 years old and was a very young proprietress.
Su Wan saluted her and said with a smile:
"Boss, I'm here to discuss business with you. Are you interested?"
When she heard that it was a business talk, the lady boss was a little confused, but she still kept smiling and did not change her attitude just because Su Wan was not here to buy anything:
"Talk about business? This is my cosmetics shop. I wonder what business you want to discuss with me, young lady?"
The merchants who came to her cosmetics shop were nothing more than flower growers, porcelain makers, and carpenters, because her rouge and lip balm were made of fresh flowers and had to be packed in porcelain and wooden boxes. But as for other business, she didn't know what kind of business she could do.
Su Wan took a few bars of goat milk soap that had been prepared in advance from Fifth Brother and handed them to the proprietress:
"Madam, I have something I'd like to sell you. It's called goat milk soap. You can use it for daily laundry and hand cleansing. It leaves a light milky scent after washing. You can also use it for washing your face and bathing. After washing..."
"After washing, your skin will become very smooth and have a light fragrance, right?"
Before Su Wan could finish speaking, the proprietress took over the conversation.
Su Wan was also a little slow to react. How could she know what he was going to say?
Seeing her expression was a little doubtful, the proprietress smiled and said:
"I know this goat milk soap of yours. I'm originally from Qinghe County and married into Xiangzhou Prefecture. At the end of the year, I went back to visit my parents, and my mother brought me a wonderful gift, your goat milk soap. After using it, I found it very useful. As you said, it's great for washing clothes and hands. I heard that you have many other styles, including one specifically for washing hair, but the quantity is too small, and my mother has always regretted not being able to grab some!"
I didn't expect to meet the owner of this goat milk soap shop today, and I didn't expect she was such a young female owner."
The proprietress was indeed surprised, because Su Wan looked only about fourteen or fifteen years old, still very young.
He's already doing business at such a young age. This kind of courage and bravery is extraordinary!
