Fang Yuanshan poured tea for the two of them, and Su Liuer gave him a grateful look.
This move was undoubtedly a way for the restaurant to support Su Liuer. The waiter came forward to pour tea without even being asked, which showed that Su Liuer had some status in this restaurant.
The steward pushed the purse over and said, "Our boss's daughter is getting married. We're having a wedding banquet tomorrow. We'd like to ask you to order three hundred servings of Herba Immortalis Honey. Our boss is very generous at weddings, so we'll give you five cents for each bowl, a total of one and a half ounces of silver. Here's a three hundred cent deposit, and the rest will be settled tomorrow."
Three hundred bowls!
Each bowl is priced on a per-bowl basis, without even a discount. Su Liuer was so happy that her heart was bubbling with joy. This was truly a pleasant surprise. Moreover, as long as today's business was done well, similar orders might come in one after another once the word got out!
Su Liuer, excited inside but with a very dignified look on her face, asked in detail about the time of tomorrow's banquet, the distance from here to Anning Village and other details.
After the manager gave detailed answers one by one, Su Liuer accepted the deposit and finalized the order.
After Su Liuer sent the steward out, she went to find the shopkeeper.
She was too busy to handle everything else, and without her, the herbal jelly honey wouldn't have the refreshing taste it has now. In order to maintain its reputation, she could only suspend business at the restaurant tomorrow.
The shopkeeper felt a little sorry but also understood. He didn't have the nerve to let Su Liuer leave the Herbal Jelly here for him to sell. It was someone else's secret recipe! It was good enough to be able to cooperate with him and sell it in this restaurant.
"You are not familiar with Anning Village, and you don't have a man with you. Why don't you let Yuanshan go with you tomorrow?" said the shopkeeper. It is dangerous for women to travel in this world.
Su Liuer was grateful in her heart, but she felt embarrassed that he had just rejected Fang Yuanshan yesterday and was bothering him again.
"Don't bother. You still have to take care of your restaurant business. Old Donkey Head will be here tomorrow."
"That's fine, just be careful."
-
In order to prepare for today's banquet, Su Liuer bought twice as much herbal jelly yesterday, and asked the old donkey-cart owner to pull up another donkey cart in the house and take his eldest son to Anning Village.
Old Donkey Head has two big donkeys and three small donkeys at home. On weekdays, when he drives the cart to the town, he will use the two big donkeys in rotation, otherwise one donkey will easily get tired from running every day.
Su Liuer usually gave Lao Lutou twenty cents a day, but today she gave him sixty cents.
The old donkey was very satisfied.
Before dawn, he brought his eldest son to wait at the door of Wang Po's house.
"Old donkey, bring your son in to eat something." Mrs. Wang called the two of them in.
Sweet potato porridge, stir-fried meat with pickles, scrambled eggs with leeks, and meat-stuffed buns. Such a sumptuous breakfast made Lao Lutou and his son feel embarrassed to eat.
"We have eaten it all at home." The old donkey laughed.
Mrs. Wang said with a stern face, "It's so hot. If we don't finish eating now, it will spoil when we get back in the evening. Hurry and sit down to eat. If we go to someone else's banquet, we may not be able to eat lunch at noon."
"Then we won't be polite, let's eat." The old donkey pulled his honest eldest son to sit down.
After breakfast, when it was getting light, we loaded large pots of grass jelly honey onto the donkey cart and set off.
The villagers who got up early saw this scene and were wondering what Su Liuer and Wang Po were going to do. As the journey was long, Su Liuer did not bring Zhu Hongan with her and asked him to practice calligraphy at home. She had already asked Mrs. Li to prepare lunch.
Zhu Hongan stood at the door to see him off, and then began to warm up and practice. During this period, he would seriously practice basic skills whenever he had the chance. Su Liuer was too busy to take care of Zhu Hongan, and until now she hadn't noticed that her son could do the standard horse stance.
