Chapter 118: Delivery
As soon as the ox cart stopped, Gong Qi, the waiter, came over and said with a smile: "Girl, we have been waiting for you for a long time, please come in."
"Brother, it seems that your business is good recently, otherwise you wouldn't be in such a hurry!" Qin Huiyin got off the ox cart first, and the others followed.
"Haha, thanks to the girl's method, we have more and more repeat customers. Before, I felt sick of eating just one, but with the dough and the side dishes, I ordered two directly."
After everyone got off the bus, the waiter shouted inside, and immediately more than twenty waiters appeared and carried in the sauce in baskets.
Gong Qi saw that the food was packed in pottery jars and said in surprise, "Girl, these pottery jars are not cheap. You are losing money!"
"Of course I won't do business at a loss! I came here this time to sign a supplementary contract with your boss. I will recycle these pottery jars. Next time I deliver the goods, I will take back the pottery jars I gave you this time. If one is missing, you have to compensate me twenty coins. The reason why I use pottery jars is that it is not easy to spill, and secondly, it is more convenient to use. If you think it is unnecessary, I will use bamboo buckets next time. Of course, the pottery jars delivered this time still need to be recycled."
"The lady's request is very reasonable, I think it's feasible. The boss is waiting inside, if the lady has anything else, she can go in and discuss it with him. Please go in and have some tea, everyone."
Li Taohua looked around the roast duck restaurant and said to Tang Dafu next to her, "The boss of this restaurant is quite generous, and the waiters are also very considerate. No wonder their business is so good."
Mr. Tang San said: "He is not an ordinary clerk, the boss is his uncle. He does the work of a clerk, but he holds the power of a shopkeeper."
"No wonder this young man has such handsome features and behaves so generously and appropriately towards others." Li Taohua praised.
Qin Huiyin met with the boss and discussed what had just happened. After the two signed the supplementary contract, the boss warmly invited them to have breakfast, but Qin Huiyin declined.
After Qin Huiyin received the final payment, she also received the deposit for the next order.
The crowd then rushed to the market and set up their stalls. As soon as they set up the stalls, customers immediately flocked to them.
"You guys were a little late again today. I thought you wouldn't come. I'm a little sad!" said an aunt. "I'm used to eating at your restaurant. Others' food tastes bland."
"If that's what you say, auntie, then I have to put more sauce on you." Li Taohua leaned closer and said in a low voice, "We sell this sauce to others for fifty cents a bottle!"
The auntie smiled from ear to ear and kept saying thank you.
It's busiest in the morning, but becomes quieter after that time.
Seeing that there were no more customers, Qin Huiyin said to Li Taohua, "Mom, I want to send the seasoning sauce to my eldest brother."
"Go ahead!" said Li Taohua.
Tang Yixiao also wanted to go, but the stall had to be looked after by someone. After Qin Huiyin left, he had to stay and run the stall well, so he did not make this request.
Qin Huiyin rode in Mr. Tang San's ox cart to the academy that Tang Yichen mentioned.
The sound of reading aloud came from the academy. The scale of this academy was different from the private school in the town. The person guarding the door was not an old man, but a middle-aged man with a scholarly air.
"Sir, I'm looking for Tang Yichen. Can you help me call him? I'm his sister. I'll just deliver some gifts and say a few words and leave. I won't disturb anyone else." Qin Huiyin smiled sweetly.
"You are the sister that Yi Chen was talking about?" The middle-aged man said with a smile, stroking his newly grown beard. "He gave us a heads up in advance, saying that his sister might come over today. You wait here for a moment, I'll go find him right away."
"Thank you, sir." Qin Huiyin saluted.
"I'm just a doorman, why do you call me sir?" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Mr. is a respectful title. People with talent and knowledge can be called Mr., people who have made contributions can also be called Mr., even woodcutters, fishermen, and candied haws sellers can be called Mr.. You are so gentle to others, and your words are like warm sunshine. No matter who you are, you are so polite, you must be a gentleman, of course, Mr.."
"Yi Chen said that his sister has a delicate heart. Today I see that it is true." The middle-aged man said, "Little girl, if you were a man, you would have a bright future."
"Being crowned king or prime minister is my future, fighting in battle is my future, as is being a little girl like me, guarding my own little world, living a carefree life with my family, and walking the dog and playing with the cat. I am not a man, but I still have my own future."
"Hahaha..." the middle-aged man laughed.
"Sir, please don't be offended by my sister's words." Tang Yichen walked out and bowed to the middle-aged man.
"When did you come?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.
"Just arrived." Tang Yichen said to Qin Huiyin, "Little sister, this is the headmaster of the academy."
"Shanzhang, although I am young, I am not a child. Everything I say is sincere." Qin Huiyin said seriously, "It doesn't matter if I am a man or a woman. I am not a man, but I can live a happier life than many men."
The headmaster nodded and said, "Well done. Yichen, your sister is as kind-hearted as you said. Well, you two brothers can talk, I won't bother you anymore."
"Wait a minute..." Qin Huiyin took out a pottery bottle and stuffed it into the headmaster's hand. "Don't get me wrong, this is not a gift, I just want to share my homemade food. This sauce can be used with any dish, whether it's rice, steamed buns, noodles or anything else, you can add a little according to your taste. The headmaster has worked too hard teaching students, so give him some to replenish his body."
"Okay, I'll take it." The middle-aged man said, "It's a pity that there is no precedent for women to take the imperial examination in our dynasty, otherwise you would definitely have a place."
Qin Huiyin: “…”
That's not necessary.
She had endured nine years of compulsory education, the college entrance examination, four years of university and the postgraduate entrance examination. She really didn't want to study anymore!
After the headmaster left, Tang Yichen tapped her nose and said, "You really dare to say anything."
"Did I say anything outrageous?" Qin Huiyin was not convinced. "I sent you something and you still said that to me. Next time I won't send you anything. Let them do it."
"Brother, I was wrong. Please forgive me for my careless words." Tang Yichen bowed deeply.
"That's more like it." Qin Huiyin said proudly.
Third Master Tang looked at the brother and sister and smiled lovingly, "We just delivered the goods, and Boss Ning paid off the balance and ordered another 100 bottles of sauce. Your sister has been exhausted recently, and as her eldest brother, you have to take good care of her."
"Wouldn't it be too tiring to make a hundred bottles in three days? How about doing less?" Tang Yichen said.
"I was a little busy only when I was preparing the ingredients at the beginning. Now I have sorted out the ideas, and I won't be so flustered after that. Besides, I'm not stupid, how can I suffer alone? I hired someone to do it, otherwise how could I have finished it?"
