Chapter 222 Tea
There was no need for Chu Xu to shout one by one. No one could continue to sleep after Xiaohuan's scream just now.
Shang Wan yawned and opened the door, then rubbed Chu Xu's head and said, "Change into your practice clothes."
"Oh." Chu Xu agreed obediently and went back to the house to take a shower and change clothes.
When he came out again, everyone was sitting at the dinner table waiting, with all the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
Xiaohuan brought over a large bowl of noodles, and Yuanyuan trotted behind with her short legs, holding a jar of meat sauce in her little hands.
A bowl of noodles, topped with two spoonfuls of meat sauce, and you've got a simple breakfast.
When the family arrived at the village entrance in an ox cart, another ox cart was already waiting.
Lady Rong smiled and joked: "But have you slept?"
Shang Wan nodded, "Excuse me for waiting."
"It didn't take long." Aunt Yao said with concern, "Have you ever eaten the morning meal? Auntie also has an egg here, use it to pad your stomach."
"I have two buns."
"Can you eat the pancake?"
"I got two salted duck eggs."
…
Everyone took out the food they had brought with them, and they were so enthusiastic that they almost threw it into the arms of Shangwan's family.
The family couldn't resist the hospitality, so they had to add another meal on the way.
As he hurried into the city, Shang Wan thought that there wouldn't be many people there today, but he never thought that there was already a long queue in front of the store, and most of them were women.
Mrs. Lou and two familiar boss ladies are helping to maintain order, "Everyone, please line up and don't crowd."
When she looked up and saw Shang Wan and his entourage on the bullock cart, Mrs. Lou looked happy and hurried over, "You guys are here. Hurry up and open the door. Everyone is waiting."
Shang Wan was a little confused, but the current situation did not allow her to ask any more questions.
She stood on the bullock cart, jumped up, and landed as lightly as a swallow at the door of the store.
Under the sun, the green skirt fluttered like feathers, the woman's skin was like cream, and her eyebrows were graceful, leaving people stunned for a while.
Even the air seemed to be quiet for a moment, and then there were exclamations, and the women looked at Shang Wan with particularly eager eyes.
Shang Wan's scalp was numb at the sight of their shining eyes, and he quickly opened the door.
Lu Chengjing and others passed through the crowd, entered the store first, opened the windows for ventilation, and swept around.
The more people there are, the faster the cleaning will be. Besides, it was already cleaned at closing time last night, so it was only a night ago and it wasn't dirty at all.
Shangwan turned over the closing sign and officially opened the door to welcome customers.
"I want three boxes of jade powder!"
"Where is the white jade ointment? Give me two bottles!"
"Don't squeeze in the back!"
Turns out they all came for Yurong Powder and White Jade Ointment, and a small number of people went straight for the Multipurpose Ointment.
Shang Wan pulled Mrs. Lou's arm and pulled her out of the crowd to a more secluded corner.
She asked: "Sister, why are so many people here suddenly?"
"I saw people waiting outside your shop as soon as it opened this morning. They all asked me when the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion would open. When I asked, I found out that they were all here for Yurong Powder and White Jade Ointment." Lou. The lady was also puzzled, "I thought you had used some magic trick. Could it be that it wasn't you who did it?"
Shang Wan shook her head. She just slept last night.
"That's strange." Ms. Lou frowned slightly. She thought about it for a while but didn't have any clue. She simply stopped thinking and said with a smile, "It's a good thing if business is good, but if it's not good, the God of Wealth will come to give you money."
Shang Wan nodded and didn't bother to talk to Madam Lou, and rushed to replenish the inventory.
By the time all the guests left with satisfaction, it was already an hour and a half later.
God of Wealth... No, Boss Zhong came here at this time.
"Boss Zhong's visit really makes my little shop shine."
Zhongli looked gloomy, his face was pale, and there were two strings of black and blue under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night.
Shang Wan changed the tea on the table to strong tea, poured a cup himself and pushed it to his hand, "Boss Zhong didn't get a good rest last night?"
Zhongli nodded, took a sip of tea. When he tasted the tea, his eyes lit up and his face became more energetic.
Looking down at the tea in the cup, Zhongli said: "Your tea is good, but I have never drunk it. What kind of tea is this?"
"It's something grown at home. It's rare that something from the countryside can catch the eye of Boss Zhong."
"Give me two kilograms." Zhongli didn't know what politeness meant.
Shang Wan: "..."
I was so confident, but suddenly I didn’t want to give it away.
She didn't answer, and just said: "Boss Zhong is coming here at this time. He must have already made a plan."
"We'll discuss business later." Zhongli raised his hand and rubbed his brow, and asked, "Where is the child from the Chu family?"
"I went to the corner to buy candied haws."
Zhongli's eyebrows were rubbed red, he let go of his hand and looked up at her, "Do you know how many people are thinking about that child?"
Just let people out like this, and you won't be afraid that they will be gone as soon as you let go.
Of course Shang Wan didn't know, but Yuanyuan went with Chu Xu, and if she encountered a danger that she couldn't handle, her son would definitely call her.
"Boss Bu Lao Zhong is worried."
Zhongli took out a letter from his arms and put it on the table. He tapped the envelope with his pale fingertips and said, "Please pass this letter from Chu Zhao to that child."
Chu Zhao is Chu Xu’s second brother.
Shang Wan took the letter and looked at Zhongli with a slightly searching look.
How could Chu Zhao's letter be in Zhongli's hands? Could it be that these two are still friends?
She suddenly thought of the batch of medicines Zhongli ordered from her, and asked tentatively: "Are those medicines sent to the border?"
Hearing this, Zhongli raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile, but his peach blossom eyes were as cold as ice.
Shang Wan pouted, this guy is really moody.
Zhongli drank the tea in the cup and seemed to be really satisfied with the tea. He poured himself another cup.
"You give me two kilograms of tea, and that business is whatever you say."
Shang Wan: "!!!"
Did the pie hit her on the head?
"Is this true?"
Zhongli swayed the tea cup gently, tasting tea like wine, "How is business this morning?"
Shang Wan was stunned, "Did you do it?"
Zhongli didn't say yes or no. He put the tea cup on the table, looked at the woman opposite, and said one simple word, "Tea."
Shang Wan: "..."
The God of Wealth is cheerful, so she can't be too stingy.
"I got five kilograms in total, and I'll give them all to you."
Hearing this, Zhongli showed his first smile since entering the door.
Although he didn't sleep all night, Boss Zhong was still very charming, and his peach blossom eyes were very charming.
Customers are God. Shang Wan took out the black tea again and made a cup for Boss Zhong himself.
The two teas have different tastes, but apparently Boss Zhong likes them both.
This time there was no need for Zhong to leave the mouth, Shang Wan took the initiative to send it off.
It was just a few kilograms of tea, she could afford it.
In the spirit of developing a good and sustainable cooperative relationship, Shangwan didn't try to trick Zhongli in price, and the two parties quickly signed a contract.
Zhong Li seemed to be very busy. He picked up the tea and left without waiting for Chu Xu to come back.
Remembering Zhongli's reminder, Shang Wan turned around and went to find the two children.
At the intersection of the street where people and cars are passing, two children, each holding a bunch of candied haws, were squatting in the corner and watching the ants carrying the sugar residue.
The two put their heads together, muttering not knowing what to say.
