After Manager Qian left, Li Yan asked her cousin to get some mountain sorrel first!
Li Yan first explained the method of making candied haws to the chefs of the restaurant. The method was not complicated. After watching it once, the chefs understood that boiling the syrup was the key!
When Shopkeeper Qian returned, a lot of candied haws were already placed on the plate.
Li Yan: "This candied haws is simple to make, and the chefs have already mastered the technique. Whether this candied haws can attract more customers depends on Shopkeeper Qian!"
Shopkeeper Qian was delighted and picked up a string of candied haws: "Come on, follow me to pay the bill!"
On the way to the accounting office, Manager Qian asked nonchalantly, "Miss Li, do you have any good ideas to get people in Rongcheng to come to Piaoxianglou when they want to eat candied haws?"
Li Yan thought for a moment and said, "The shopkeeper can ask two servants to stand outside the restaurant with candied haws, and say that this is a reward for old customers. Anyone who comes in to eat can get two free candied haws!"
Shopkeeper Qian clapped his hands excitedly, "That's a great idea! Miss Li is a real talent for business. It's a pity you're not a boy, otherwise I would definitely recommend you to our boss!"
Li Yan couldn't help but laugh. Isn't this just a routine? There's no such thing as a free lunch. You're after the free candied haws, but the store owner is after the real money in your pocket!
The two of them arrived at the accounting office, and Manager Qian asked the old man who was fiddling with an abacus, "Have all those mountain reds been weighed? Pay Miss Li today's payment!"
Li Yan quickly stopped him: "Manager Qian, just give me ten taels of silver. It would be better if you pay for the fruits in front of them!"
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Qian smiled knowingly and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. First, give Miss Li ten taels of silver!"
Li Yan took the silver and money, put it in the small bag she carried with her, and then went with the accountant to look for Mr. Li and his group!
After unloading their goods, the villagers of Lijia Village curiously looked at this restaurant they had never been to before! Everyone was nervous and uneasy, wondering if the owner of the restaurant would be satisfied with the fruit they had sent.
When Li Yan and her group appeared, Mr. Li immediately stepped forward and asked, "Has the fruit shopkeeper collected all the fruits?"
Before Li Yan could answer, the accountant on the side responded: "Our boss wants all these fruits. According to the pre-agreed price of two cents per catty, nine thousand six hundred catties, the total is nineteen taels and two cents of silver. Here are twenty taels of silver! Please keep it!" After that, he handed the silver in his hand to Mr. Li.
Mr. Li took the silver and said, "I don't have any money on me today. Please wait a moment. I'll have someone take it away!"
The old accountant waved his hand and said, "No need. The shopkeeper said that the remaining money is a reward to thank Miss Li for her help!" After that, he bowed to everyone and turned to leave!
The villagers looked at the accountant leaving, still immersed in joy. Was it sold?
Having received the money, Mr. Li turned around and said to the villagers who were immersed in joy, "Let's go back too!"
Old Master Li was pulling the carriage, leading the group home. As they passed the bank, he said to Li Dalang, "You stay here and look after the livestock. Come with me to the bank to exchange some loose silver and copper coins. We'll share the profits with the villagers when we return."
Li Dalang nodded in agreement and stayed outside to look after the livestock. Old Master Li led the three of them into the bank!
