Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 305 The second life-saving grace (2)
"The shape is tight and thin, the curl is beautiful, the color is green and fragrant after flushing, the taste is mellow, and the shape is beautiful. This must be Yunwu tea."

Shui Lingli looked at the tea soup, and said to the point, "I never thought I would have the opportunity to drink such a tribute."

Shui Lingli's father is Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Punishment is not conspicuous among the six departments. Compared with the Ministry of Households in charge of the people and the Ministry of Officials in charge of officials, it is just a Qingshui yamen, and there is no chance to be rewarded by the emperor for meritorious service on weekdays. The production of tea is too scarce, even in the palace, it may not be able to drink it.

"Sister Shui really has good eyesight!"

I haven't tasted it yet, but I can tell the type of tea just by looking at the tea soup. It seems that I am knowledgeable. The official ladies in Kyoto really don't give it to me for nothing. If Qingli saw this kind of tea in Mojia Village, she would definitely treat it as an ordinary tea. green tea.

"Yunwu, haha, Qingli, I really came to the right place! I haven't had such a tribute yet!"

Shui Linghuan was so happy that she almost slapped her hands. Seeing the dim sum brought in by Malt, she immediately narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Qingli, when will your fourth aunt's shop open? My eyes are looking blue, and last time you brought I asked my cousin to entertain my sisters for the pastry, they all said it was delicious, and they will order pastries after the opening!"

Yesterday, the cook improved some of the desserts that ladies like on weekdays. There are apple-flavored small pies and butterfly cakes. The small pies are filled with applesauce. The butterfly cakes are beautiful in shape, layer by layer, and sprinkled with Frosting, all novel.Shui Linghuan tasted one of each and fell in love with it. He drank Yunwu tea and ate dim sum until he was full.

"Qingli, I've been coming to the door almost every day recently, and I feel that my face has become a lot rounder. How did you think of this dim sum? The cook in the house is really amazing!"

Shui Linghuan couldn't eat anymore, clutched her stomach, and looked at the snacks on top reluctantly, "Do you want to spend money for dim sum alone at your fourth aunt's house?"

"No, my fourth uncle and aunt don't have that rule."

There are only three masters and Qingli in the house. You can tell the kitchen what you want to eat directly. As long as there are ingredients, you can make it, and you don’t need money at all. If you think the cook is good, you can give a small reward.

"Oh, by the way, last time I did what you entrusted to me. Don't worry about the price. It should be about [-]% higher than the market's recycling price. I converted all of them into bank notes. Here, look after it, Huitong Bank Tongdui."

Shui Lingli had been drinking tea quietly, and when he heard the two talking about silver, he interrupted and asked the maid to hand Qingli a pouch. Qingli opened it and saw that it was a thick stack of silver tickets, with a face value of 500 taels. One piece, there are twelve in total, and three 100 taels, a total of 300 taels.

If the money is in Mojia Village, it is a huge sum, but in a place like Kyoto, if you want to open a shop, you can only find an inconspicuous place. Generally, the price of a small shop is 3000 taels. Left and right, plus the cost of purchasing goods, and the money that was arranged in a mess, it is really pitiful.

Therefore, most of the officials who opened shops in the capital were recorded in the names of their wives. The imperial court prohibited officials from doing business, so these people changed their way. If they have no money or contacts, they don’t have to try to hang out in the capital. Money, those without money have no chance to stand up, and the gap between the rich and the poor is obvious.

"More than 6000 taels, it's really not a small amount."

These silvers are considered a large amount to Shui Linghuan, and the silver she can use is only a few hundred taels. Of course, she will not pawn jewelry like Qingli.

"But this little money, I really can't help but spend it."

Qingli was a little depressed. She knew that the Zhao family would not be able to give her that much. The old jewelry is not in good condition and cannot be sold at a high price. This is still related to Shui Lingli. many.

"Didn't Mr. Yun give you back two boxes of jewelry, why don't you sell them all?"

Shui Lingli has changed her style in recent days. I don’t know if it’s because the queen mother is seriously ill. She wears a lavender dress and is embroidered with small pale pink gardenias. Her hair is casual. With a loose bun and a lavender flower hairpin inserted obliquely, she looked down at the tea soup in the bowl with a lazy and casual voice.

Taking advantage of the time when the cousin Shui Linghuan went to the toilet, the two began to exchange some secret topics again. The two boxes of jewelry were all given by Yun Shaozhu's brainless fans. The jade pendants and paperweights inside were very simple and valuable. It's expensive, she originally wanted to keep it for her brothers, but now she is a little hesitant.

"Either way, how about pawning the gift that the Zhao family gave to Mr. Yun? Those jade pendants are quite rare."

If you want to use money to open a shop, a few thousand taels is not enough to make a living, unless you invest in a small amount of shares, that is an exception. However, seeing Qingli's appetite is quite large, if you ask her to say that this pastry shop should open a few more, dignitary The nobles have a place for the dignitaries to buy pastries, and ordinary people are also consumer groups, and they can also make some simpler ones, so that they can earn more money by making money on both sides.

Qingli had a similar idea a long time ago. She wanted to get a big share of the dim sum shop sold to ordinary people. In that case, she would buy a small shop in Kyoto and want to keep it open for a long time. The date of the lease expires, and the store will suffer a lot of losses if it is moved.

"What are the Zhao family's things, why keep them? It's better to pawn them all. You just keep the jewelry Mr. Yun gave you. It's not easy to buy in the world."

Shui Lingli saw that Qingli was very entangled, so he shared his opinion. Although those from the Zhao family are rare, they are not rare treasures. They can be bought with silver, and even better ones can be bought.

"Then how about this, pawn all the three boxes for me, I just keep the ones from Mr. Yun."

Qingli felt that she was thinking badly. In the future, she could buy whatever she wanted when she had money. She shouldn’t just want to keep a few suitable jade pendants for her brothers. It's not for her to be an idiot, so it's better to pawn it together to avoid any trouble in the future.

"no problem."

Shui Lingli sipped his tea, savoring it carefully, "Apart from the pastry shop, what other ideas do you have?"

"It's not up to me to decide. It depends on how much money Sister Shui can get in exchange. And I want to open a shop by myself, but the problem now is that I don't have the right staff, and I can't do it without a backer in the capital."

Because of the common secret, Shui Lingli is also considered to be her own, and Qingli did not hide it, and now she is very fanatical about making money.

"Boys and the like have to sign a work contract, and it is enough to be honest and do their duty, but I am afraid that the shopkeeper is not competent for ordinary people."

Qingli's foundation in the capital is too shallow, and she doesn't know many people. The idea of ​​opening a shop is really whimsical. Shui Lingli has people herself, and the Yun family also has many people who can be used. The problem is that she can't just use it. Now the two parties do not trust so much.
