Chapter 138 I'm Getting Married Soon
"The pills sold for a total of 9 taels and 5 qian of silver, plus 3 taels and 2 qian of silver for the shampoo, so today's total income is 12 taels and 7 qian of silver!"
Mu Dong put the heavy bag of money on the table.
"I collected three hundred coins from the shop's coin box, and brought thirteen taels of silver to Miss Song. Please count some."
Song Yuntang counted the money briefly and took out two hundred coins to give to the brother and sister.
"This is your reward."
"How can this be possible? Sister Song has already given us the wages for our work, and we cannot take this money."
"Take it if I give it to you. I have to thank you for your dedication in helping me sell things." She took the basket of pills and placed it on the table. "Pills can't be stored for too long, so I won't make too many in the short term. The sales of the blood-nourishing pills in the shop are low, so I won't replenish them for now. The other four kinds of pills should be 10 each."
After all, there aren't many wealthy families in the town, so starting from tomorrow, I'm afraid the town may not be as lively as it is today.
…
That night, after Song Yuntang washed up, he suddenly had an idea and placed the six traps that Song Jinsheng and Song Mazi had brought the day before in a circle along the wall.
She locked the two puppies in the next room and lay on the bed looking at the moon outside the window.
She licked her lips and suddenly missed the sour plum soup that Xu Qingye bought for her when they went to the county town. Unfortunately, no one in the town was doing this business.
In this hot weather, it would be so refreshing to drink a glass of iced sour plum soup.
She knew the recipe for sour plum soup, which required soaking black plum, licorice, hawthorn, tangerine peel, mulberry and roselle for 25 minutes and then boiling for half an hour. As for chilling it, she could use the mountain spring water on the farm.
Sour plum soup can clear away heat and relieve summer heat, promote salivation and stimulate appetite, strengthen the stomach and help digestion, regulate qi and eliminate accumulation, and also has the effect of refreshing the mind. Summer is not yet completely over.
The academy is about to start classes, and more and more people will come to the town. Maybe this small business can be done there.
As the saying goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Only through multi-faceted development can we turn streams into rivers and seas and withstand the various changes we may face in the future.
Thinking of this, she decided to take a walk around the academy tomorrow. If there was a suitable place selling sour plum soup, she might as well give it a try.
As he was thinking, Song Yuntang fell asleep in a daze.
…
The next morning, he put away the traps in the yard, fed himself and his two puppies, and went out.
The big pot has been sent to the farm. Song Jinsheng will watch over the boiling of the shampoo water. It is not difficult and has been done here many times. She really has nothing to worry about. She can just go over and see the results when she is done.
There are some things that you should always let others do with confidence.
The school term at Yee Ho College will start on August 12. Today is the 10th day of August. Students who live a little further from the town have already rented houses nearby or moved into the dormitories in the college. It is quite lively outside the college.
The scholars' ages ranged from ten to over twenty years old.
Judging from their clothes, some of them should come from well-off families.
Studying is extremely expensive, and those who can come to the academy to study should not come from poor families.
After all, there are only a few families like the Song family who have no money but still want to send two children to school.
Song Yuntang walked around the area and found that all the shops outside the academy that could be rented had been rented out. He also asked a few shops indirectly and found out that the shops here were in the off-season during the field holidays. Even if they were available on other days, it was during the off-season. Basically, all the shops were fully rented before the peak season arrived.
The implication was that she was a little late.
The streets on both sides of the academy are mainly lined with relatively quiet shops such as bookstores and teahouses, as well as some small restaurants.
There are quite a few stalls on the street opposite the academy, but it is not easy for her to move things in and out every day by herself. What's more, what she wants to sell is not only sour plum soup, but also some cakes and desserts.
If you are planning for the long term, you definitely can’t rely on a small stall.
This street is mainly occupied by snack bars, noodle shops and restaurants, as well as a medium-sized restaurant, but it doesn't serve sweet soup or anything like that.
In front of the restaurant there is a corridor about four or five feet deep and wide, which can accommodate two people passing side by side. This corridor is not an aisle and does not lead to anywhere. There is a long table and two benches across the corridor, which should be a place for guests to rest.
Looking at this corridor that was four or five feet wide and two meters long, Song Yuntang suddenly had an idea.
Anyway, she didn't need a stall that was too big, and this place was really good.
As soon as Song Yuntang entered the Jade Pavilion, a servant came to greet him.
"Sir, are you the only one here?"
"I'm not here to eat. Is your boss here?" Song Yuntang said as he glanced towards Feicuixuan. No wonder he didn't care about the corridor outside. The restaurant lobby was quite spacious and there was another floor above it. It was quite large. However, as it was still early, there were no guests in the restaurant.
It is still unclear how the business is going.
"Miss, is there anything you want to talk to our boss about?" asked the waiter.
Song Yuntang pointed to the corridor outside, "I want to ask, is the corridor outside your Jade Pavilion rented?"
"That corridor cannot be rented out. It will affect the external image of our restaurant. Someone has asked before, and the boss has specifically instructed us, what kind of business do you want to do, young lady?" A middle-aged man wearing a black cap came in from the back door. Judging from his attire, he should be the owner of Feicuixuan.
"I mainly sell some snacks. Since the corridor at Feicuixuan is not rented out, I won't bother you." After Song Yuntang finished speaking, he nodded slightly to the middle-aged man, then turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing that the girl was young and pretty, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he hurried forward.
"Girl, please stay."
Song Yuntang looked at him in confusion, "Anything else?"
The middle-aged man smiled and looked very friendly.
"Business is not easy these days, especially this year's bad harvest. A lot of people lose money in business. I'm afraid that the money invested may not be earned back. If you want to make money, a girl in our restaurant recently went home to get married. We are in need of people. You might as well consider working here. It's an easy job. You just need to pour tea and wine for the guests in the wing rooms. As for the wages, we can discuss it."
Song Yuntang looked at him dimly.
"I'm also going to get married soon, so I'm afraid it's not convenient. Goodbye."
After saying that, he nodded slightly and left Feicuixuan.
The shopkeeper was startled and hurriedly chased after him.
"Girl, it's really just pouring tea and wine, nothing bad will happen."
Song Yuntang waved his hand and said, "I really want to get married, so please find someone else, boss."
Seeing that she was determined and walked away without looking back, the shopkeeper sighed, "Why is it so difficult to find a suitable female worker these days?"
The servant at the side looked at Song Yuntang who was walking away and said, "Boss, if you can't find a female worker, just find a male worker. Who can't serve tea and water? With such a high salary, I think I can do it too."
The shopkeeper turned around and slapped him.
"Nonsense, don't I know how to do it?"
The servant touched his head aggrievedly and said weakly, "Then I won't fight with you for it."
The shopkeeper took a deep breath, snorted, and turned to the backyard.
