Chapter 259: Don’t Rush
Shopkeeper Ding seemed to know what Su Qing'an was thinking and went to her. Read
After a few pleasantries, Shopkeeper Ding expressed to her what Lord Pei and Steward Li meant.
"For tea, Lord Pei and Steward Li meant to let Madam Su hand it over to us, after all, it is of great importance."
"For mountain products, our caravan and Madam Su will collect them together. Steward Li knows that Madam Su has bought a shop in Renzhou, and Lord Pei also wants to revitalize the economy and people's livelihood in Renzhou. Our caravan will not sell mountain products in Renzhou and nearby counties and towns, but will transport them to other places. It does not conflict with Madam Su."
Su Qing'an thought about it in her heart and nodded.
She would not make a profit from the price difference of tea, so she would not make a profit. She could grow tea and sell tea.
She really did not have the manpower to sell mountain products to other places. Leaving Renzhou to her was a compensation.
She would have a lot of things to sell to Steward Li in the future.
It would be bad to offend him.
If she can't collect so many mountain products, she will make less money from the price difference. But she can transport a small half to Renzhou City for sale, and the selling price can be higher.
"Manager Li said that in order to compensate Madam Su, our caravan will find everything needed in the village and sell it in the market town. Madam Su, if you need to buy anything or have any errands, just ask."
Su Qingmei glanced at her. "Ship the daily groceries needed by everyone in the village to compensate me?"
Isn't it another way for you to make money?
It's as if they transported it here, sold it to me at the purchase price, and I will sell it.
After saying this, Shopkeeper Ding also felt that this compensation seemed a bit unfair.
"Now there are not many caravans that can travel normally outside. Whatever you need here and in the village, we will do our best to find it for Madam Su and transport it to this mountain."
They don't know how much purchasing power there is in this mountain, and whether they can make money.
It's just for Madam Su's sake.
Su Qingmei seems to know his concerns.
"Don't worry, the mountain people are not short of money. You just need to bring in the daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Do you have salt permits? I just saw that there seems to be no salt on your shelves."
"Yes, yes, we have salt permits. We have also brought the salt, but we haven't put it on the shelf just now."
It's okay to have salt. Don't go out of the mountains to buy salt when you have all kinds of things.
The two of them agreed, and Manager Ding also said goodbye and left.
Su Qingmei sighed, you want to get convenience from others and make money from others, how can such a good thing happen?
You have to sacrifice one and give up the other.
You can't have both fish and bear's paw.
Su Qingmei soon thought it over.
She called Xiang Zhen over and gave him instructions, asking him to stay in the market town in the future and be responsible for the operation of the shops and the market town.
Xiang Zhen agreed. He also gave her a lot of suggestions.
Su Qingmei wrote them down one by one and planned to improve them slowly.
She also asked Xiang Zhen to transfer people from Xin Geng Village to take care of the inn, restaurant and bath house.
She also asked people to move all the goods she had prepared from Xin Geng Village to the shop.
After giving the order, she went to see Ma Xin again.
Discuss the allocation and arrangement of personnel with him.
After finishing all this, she asked people to go back to Baijia Village to pick up Su Qingliu, Xiaobao and others. She hoped that when the business opened, they would also come to experience the lively scene of the market town in the mountains.
Xiaobao was once again carried in a basket and walked through the mountains, very excited.
Yaya and he stood in the basket, carried by adults, looking around greedily, thinking everything was new.
When they saw Su Qingmei, they pulled her left and right and told her about the situation in the mountains.
"Mom, there are monkeys! They are on the trees, jumping around. Xiaobao saw it!"
"Wow, mom didn't see it. Xiaobao saw it, so amazing."
When Xiaobao heard his mother praising him, he immediately raised his head and smiled happily.
He is more powerful than his mother.
Yaya was not to be outdone: "Second aunt, second aunt, I also saw a big snake, coiled on a tree, sticking out its tongue. The uncles killed it and said they would make snake soup tonight."
The little girl was really brave, she was not scared to tears. She was still thinking about the snake soup tonight.
Su Qingmei shuddered twice and looked at Su Qingliu and others.
"Where did you come from? How did you encounter a snake? Usually everyone is used to that road, and there are basically no animals approaching on the road."
"It was that road, and I don't know where it came from. I was afraid that it would bite people in the future, so I killed it." Siyuan said.
Lu and Ruyi were also in the market town for the first time. Before it was time for dinner, Su Qingmei took them around the market town.
"Mom, is this also our home?"
Su Qing'an looked down at Xiao Bao, smiled and touched his hair tied in a small bun: "This is the place to sell things. If we need anything in the future, we can come here to buy it."
Seeing his curious face, she took him to Ding's shop to have a look.
In Ding's shop, the shelves were already full of daily necessities, food and daily necessities, and there were many kinds of them.
Even cloth was available.
Lu's mother and daughter and Su Qingliu were immediately attracted to it.
Xiao Bao and Ya Ya were so surprised by so many things that they opened their mouths wide. The siblings ran over to take a look hand in hand.
"Mom, mom, what is this?" Xiao Bao pointed to a round object and turned his head to ask her.
"Don't touch it with your hands. This is a brown sugar cake." The brown sugar was made into a cake with a pound, which was convenient and easy to hold.
Su Qing'an also came forward to take a look.
Manager Ding came over and said, "It's okay, let him touch it as he pleases."
"This is something you're going to eat, you can't let him touch it casually."
Yaya held Xiaobao's hand and stood away.
Seeing the two children were cute, Ding took a small hammer to crack a piece of sugar cake, grabbed two pieces and handed them to the two children.
Xiaobao and Yaya looked at her.
"Hurry up and thank uncle."
"Thank you, uncle." After saying that, she took it.
"You're welcome. So cute."
"Mom, it's sweet!"
"Aunt, it's so sweet!"
The two siblings licked and laughed happily, very happy.
"Then mom will buy this piece of sugar cake and go back to make brown sugar rice cake for you to eat."
"Okay, okay." "Eat cake."
"Sister, cake is delicious."
"Really? Sister has never eaten it."
"Mom can eat it."
"Yeah."
Before it was made, the siblings imagined the delicious taste in their mouths, and their saliva almost fell.
They laughed so hard that their eyes could not see.
There were still a lot of things missing in the courtyard, so Lu, Ruyi, and Su Qingliu bought a lot of things from the store and moved them back.
Then they went to their own shop.
Xiang Zhen was leading people to set up the shop. It was not the season to collect mountain products yet, so Su Qingmei didn't have many things to put on display.
It was just some pickled bamboo shoots, dried bamboo shoots, pickled vegetables, kimchi, dried vegetables, etc. that she, Lu's mother and daughter, and her sister had pickled.
There were also some mushrooms and the like that Guo had brought the women from Xingeng Village to pick.
There was also a small area where some medicinal herbs collected by Ling Fenggu's family were placed.
For Su Qingmei, this shop was not mainly for selling, but for collecting. After collecting the goods, she would make them, sell some to Manager Li, and sell some in Renzhou.
Of course, she planned to make her own shop's main product, but it was not ready yet.
Then she also planned to leave a place in the shop for doctors.
There were also separate medicine shops.
She still had several shops.
But the doctor she was looking for was nowhere to be seen. She was worried.
Just look for him slowly. There was no rush.
You have to eat one bite at a time and take one step at a time.
After returning to her own courtyard and having just finished her meal, she heard Ma Xin, the man guarding the village gate, come to report to her that several people wanted to see her.
Want to see her? Who?
