Chapter 218 Tea
Chu Xu didn't need to shout at everyone one by one. After Xiaohuan's scream just now, no one could continue sleeping.
Shang Wan yawned as he opened the door, rubbing Chu Xu's head, "Go change into your training clothes."
"Oh." Chu Xu agreed obediently and went back to the room to take a shower and change clothes.
When he came out again, everyone was sitting at the dining table waiting, and there were all kinds of dishes and chopsticks on the table.
Xiaohuan brought over a large bowl of noodles, and Yuanyuan followed behind, trotting on her short legs, holding a jar of meat sauce in her little hands.
A bowl of noodles with two spoonfuls of meat sauce and a simple breakfast is ready.
When the family arrived at the village entrance in the ox cart, another ox cart was already waiting.
Madam Rong smiled and joked, "But you slept too much?"
Shang Wan nodded, "Thank you for waiting."
"It didn't take long." Aunt Yao asked with concern, "Have you had breakfast? I have an egg here, take it to fill your stomach."
"I have two steamed buns."
"Would you like some cookies?"
"I put two salted duck eggs in my pocket."
……
Everyone took out the food they had with them, and they were so enthusiastic that they almost stuffed it directly into Shang Wan's family's arms.
The family couldn't refuse the hospitality, so they had to have another meal on the way.
Shang Wan hurried into the city and thought that there wouldn't be many people here today, but unexpectedly, there was already a long queue in front of the store, and most of them were women.
Madam Lou and two familiar-looking proprietresses were helping to maintain order. "Everyone, line up. Don't push."
Lifting her eyes and seeing Shang Wan and his group on the ox cart, Madam Lou's face lit up with joy and she walked over quickly, "You are finally here, open the door quickly, everyone is waiting."
Shang Wan was a little confused, but the current situation didn't allow her to ask more questions.
She stood on the ox cart, jumped up, and landed in front of the store as lightly as a swallow.
In the sunlight, the green skirt fluttered like feathers, the woman's skin was as white as cream, and her eyebrows were graceful, which made people stunned for a moment.
Even the air seemed to be quiet for a moment, and then exclamations were heard, and the women looked at Shang Wan with particularly eager eyes.
Shang Wan felt his scalp tingling when he saw their sparkling eyes, and he quickly opened the door.
Lu Chengjing and others walked through the crowd and entered the store first to open the windows for ventilation and sweep the floor.
The cleaning can be done faster when there are more people. Besides, the place had already been cleaned when the shop closed last night, so it couldn’t be that dirty after just one night.
Shang Wan turned over the closing sign and officially opened the door to welcome customers.
"I want three boxes of Yurong Powder!"
"Where is the white jade cream? Give me two bottles!"
"Don't squeeze in the back!"
They all came for Yurong Powder and Baiyu Paste, and a small number of people went straight for the Wanyong Paste.
Shang Wan pulled Mrs. Lou's arm, pulled her out of the crowd, and brought her to a secluded corner.
She asked, "Sister, why are there so many people here suddenly?"
"I saw people waiting outside your shop as soon as it opened this morning. They all asked me what time the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion would open. When I asked, I found out that they were all here for the Jade Beauty Powder and White Jade Paste." Madam Lou was also puzzled. "I thought you had used some magic again. Could it be that you didn't do it?"
Shang Wan shook her head. She just focused on sleeping last night.
"That's strange." Madam Lou frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, she had no clue. She simply stopped thinking about it and smiled, "Good business is a good thing. Maybe the God of Wealth has come to give you money."
Shang Wan nodded, without having time to talk to Madam Lou, and hurried to replenish the stock.
It took an hour and a half for the guests to leave satisfied.
God of Wealth... No, Boss Zhong came over at this time.
"Boss Zhong's presence here really brings glory to my humble shop."
Zhongli looked listless, his face was pale, and there were two dark circles under his eyes, as if he had not slept all night.
Shang Wan replaced the tea on the table with strong tea, poured a cup himself and pushed it to his side, "Boss Zhong, didn't you get a good rest last night?"
Zhongli nodded, picked up the tea and took a sip.
When he tasted the tea, his eyes lit up and his face looked more energetic.
Looking down at the tea in the cup, Zhongli said, "Your tea is good, but I have never tasted it before. What kind of tea is this?"
"We grow them at home. It's rare that something from the countryside catches the eye of Mr. Zhong."
"Pack two kilograms for me." Zhongli had no idea what politeness was.
Shang Wan: “…”
This is so reasonable that suddenly I don't want to send it.
She didn't respond, but only said, "Boss Zhong must have made a plan by coming here at this time."
"Let's talk about business later." Zhongli raised his hand and rubbed his brows, and asked, "Where is the child from the Chu family?"
"I went to the corner to buy candied haws."
Zhongli's eyebrows were red from being rubbed. He let go of her hand and looked up at her, "Do you know how many people are thinking about that child?"
Just let the person go like this, and you don't have to worry about him disappearing once you let go.
Shang Wan certainly didn’t know, but Yuanyuan went with Chu Xu, and if they encountered any danger that they couldn’t handle, her son would definitely call her.
"Don't worry, Boss Zhong."
Zhongli took out a letter from his bosom and placed it on the table. He tapped the envelope with his pale fingertips and said, "This is a letter from Chu Zhao to that kid. Please pass it on."
Chu Zhao is Chu Xu's second brother.
Shang Wan took the letter and looked at Zhongli with a slightly inquiring look.
How did Chu Zhao's letter end up in Zhongli's hands? Could it be that these two were still friends?
She suddenly thought of the batch of medicine 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 smile, but his peach blossom eyes were as cold as ice.
Shang Wan curled his lips. This guy is really moody.
Zhongli finished the tea in the cup, seemed really satisfied with it, and poured himself another cup.
"Give me two kilograms of tea, and I'll take care of the deal as long as you say so."
Shang Wan: “!!!”
The pie hit her on the head?
"Is this true?"
Zhongli gently swirled the teacup, tasting the tea like he was tasting wine, "How was business this morning?"
Shang Wan was stunned, "You did it?"
Zhongli didn't say yes or no. He placed the teacup on the table, looked at the woman opposite him, and said simply, "Tea."
Shang Wan: “…”
The God of Wealth is generous, so she can't be too stingy.
"I got five kilograms in total, and I'll give it all to you."
Hearing this, Zhongli showed his first smile since entering the room.
Although he hadn't slept all night, Boss Zhong was still as charming as ever, with a pair of peach blossom eyes that were sparkling and quite bewitching.
The customer is God. Shang Wan took out some black tea and personally made a cup for Boss Zhong.
The two teas taste different, but it is obvious that Boss Zhong likes them both.
This time, Zhong Li didn't need to leave, Shang Wan took the initiative to send him off.
It’s just a few pounds of tea, she can afford it.
In the spirit of developing a good and sustainable cooperative relationship, Shang Wan did not try to cheat Zhongli on the price, and the two parties signed the contract quickly.
Zhongli seemed to be very busy. He didn't even wait for Chu Xu to come back. He just picked up the tea and left.
Remembering Zhongli's reminder, Shang Wan turned around and went to look for the two children.
At a busy street corner, two children, each holding a string of candied haws, were squatting in the corner, watching ants carrying candied haws.
The two heads were put together, whispering something.
