Chapter 136 Mutton Soup Roadside Stall
Cui Qingyi: "The land has been rented out. I came here to ask Mr. Heya if there is any place suitable for building a teahouse in Dongping County."
That’s right, Cui Qingyi, who has even found craftsmen, has not yet decided on a location to build the teahouse.
He Yaren was well aware of the entire situation in Dongping County. He took out the map of Dongping County he had drawn, thought for a moment, and pointed to a few places for Cui Qingyi to see. "There aren't many teahouses in Dongping County. I'll tell you a few places. See if they're suitable."
There are several two-story buildings on the main street in the south of the city. One of the ones closest to the main street is now owned by our company. You can buy it or rent it. But since you bought a house and land from me, I can't cheat you. That place is not suitable for a teahouse. There is basically no business there.
Some people don’t even go to the teahouse to drink tea because they live nearby.
“There’s another place near the city gate, which is suitable for people coming and going, but it’s a little small.
The last one is at the foot of East Mountain. Although it is called the foot of the mountain, you still have to walk up. It was originally a study. The original owner was not good at business and wanted to sell the store and follow the passing caravans.
You also know that our Dongshan Academy is right on the hillside, and most of the people who come and go are scholars. I think it might be good if we start a teahouse business.
Look at these three places, which one do you like?"
Cui Qingyi had originally planned to find a place outside the city, but after listening to He Yaren's suggestion, she thought Dongshan was also a good place. However, she had a concern. She pointed to the location of Dongshan Academy and asked, "If there's a lot of noise here, will it affect the academy?"
I don't know why Cui Qingyi asked such a question, but the agent quickly gave a positive answer, "No, this place is close to the foot of the mountain. The academy is halfway up the mountain. How loud a noise can affect the academy?
If it had any impact, the small vendors at the foot of the mountain would have been dismissed by the government long ago. "After all, the academy is full of Dongping County's treasures.
Cui Qingyi nodded, as long as it doesn’t have any impact.
"Can the original study be demolished and rebuilt?"
He Yaren was even more puzzled. "This study is not small and was built not long ago. It is more than enough to rearrange it and turn it into a teahouse. It would be a waste to tear it down and rebuild it."
It was indeed a pity, but the style of the study was too far from the teahouse she wanted. The layout inside could be changed, but there was nothing she could do about the already completed building.
He Yaren also noticed that Cui Qingyi was very interested in the Dongshan area. He was just about to suggest taking Cui Qingyi to see it for herself when he heard Cui Qingyi continue to ask, "If I want to buy land and build a house outside the city, near the city gate, is that possible?"
Cui Qingyi had some impression of the outside of the city from her previous few visits. The closest place from the city gate was Fanjiazhuang, with a large open space in the middle, with neither houses nor farmland.
He Yaren: "This is the first time someone wants to buy land outside the city. I have to go to the government to ask."
No one had asked about it before, and the government had no regulations on this matter. Now that the buyer had brought it up, he really had to go to the county government office to ask again.
Cui Qingyi nodded: "Don't worry, then please take us to the place at the foot of Dongshan Mountain first." Cui Qingyi basically didn't consider the other two places.
Having confirmed that he was about to make another big deal, He Ya Ren would not delay and hurriedly harnessed the carriage to take Cui Qingyi and Konjac to Dongshan.
He Yaren, whose mind was completely occupied by business, had long forgotten about Wangcai's existence. Just as he sat on the shaft of the cart and raised his hand to whip it, Wangcai jumped up nimbly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the tactless two-legged beast for whipping him before it got on the cart. The big black dog stood on the shaft, first raised his head and shook his smooth hair, then lay down as if no one was around.
The big black dog's butt was stuffed into the carriage, and when the wide shaft fell down, it pushed He Yaren to the side.
Cui Qingyi coughed lightly, reached out and patted Wangcai's big, furry butt, "Move to the side."
Wangcai's behavior was so obvious that even He Yaren, who always kept a distance from dogs, noticed it. "Oh my goodness, did he do it on purpose?"
Cui Qingyi...it was hard for her to say no against her will.
Although winter has arrived, the vendors at the foot of Dongshan Mountain are still sticking to their stalls. Cui Qingyi glanced over and saw a few more stalls selling hot food. The aroma of mutton soup wafted over from afar.
Wangcai also stretched his neck to look over there, and then tilted his head to look at Cui Qingyi, his chubby ears flickering.
Konjac was quite speechless watching the big dog showing his affection to his daughter again. Seeing Wangcai's expression, Konjac felt itchy and reached out to pat the big dog's head. "Isn't eating enough at home? You want more when you go out?"
Cui Qingyi sometimes feels that she has raised a big dog, but more often it feels like she has raised a child. Imagine your child looking at you with pitiful eyes and just wanting to eat a bowl of mutton soup on a cold winter day. Can you bear to refuse it?
The answer is of course no.
Cui Qingyi smiled and looked at He Yaren. "He Yaren, thank you for accompanying us on this cold day. I'll treat you to a bowl of mutton soup to warm you up."
He Yaren...don't think he didn't see it, it was that petty big dog who wanted to eat it.
A group of three people and a dog arrived at the mutton soup stall. The owner had just cooked a pot of mutton soup and was waiting for the students to finish their classes. Seeing customers coming, he shook the cloth draped over his shoulders and began to greet them warmly, "Would you like a bowl of mutton soup? It's so cold, it warms you up."
Wangcai walked to the outermost table and squatted down. Cui Qingyi smiled and ordered the dishes: "Thank you for your hard work, four servings of mutton soup and Hu pancakes. I'll also buy a bowl for him."
There were no disposable tableware at that time, so Cui Qingyi could only buy the bowl back together.
It was also the first time for the shop owner to see someone buying mutton soup for a dog, but the most important thing in doing business is to be flexible, after all, the customer has paid.
"Hey, wait a minute, I'll be right there."
The restaurant used generous ingredients, and the mutton soup was generously packed with slices of meat, and even the bowl given to Wangcai was prepared with no cuts. After his portion was placed, Wangcai didn't rush to eat, but waited for Cui Qingyi to break the Hu pancake into small pieces and place them in his bowl before slowly digging in.
There were not many people in the store at the moment, so the store owner just sat aside and watched the strange thing. When he saw this, he laughed, "Oh, your dog is quite good at eating. How come it's like a human?"
Konjac wouldn't spoil his dog's business at this time. "Although our Wangcai is a bit greedy, he's a good guard at home."
He Yaren looked at the Hu pancake in his bowl that had been broken into several pieces at random, and suddenly felt a little regretful. He had indeed broken the pancake a little roughly.
Although the mutton soup here does not have pepper added, the store owner probably has a unique secret method of processing mutton. There is no smell of mutton at all. The mutton soup is rich and delicious. After drinking a bowl of it, you will feel warm all over.
