At the end of the long street, on the corner, there is a small shop. The decoration of this shop is not very rich, and there is no place for beautiful talents, but the popularity is getting stronger day by day. There are even thousands of miles to wait in line, just to eat that sweet, cold cold drink.

In this high summer, it can bring coolness and sweetness to people.

Zhuang Mingyue poked her head out of her small shop, except for a large group of people around the counter, there was a group of people behind her who looked at Zhuang Mingyue.

Seeing her poke her head out, someone asked unceremoniously, "Boss, is there anything else!" We'll have to wait a long time! ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhuang Mingyue bent the corners of her mouth, taking in the expectations of the people who were sheltering under the eaves outside the door, "It won't be long to wait!" ”

Zhuang Mingyue knew that there were a lot of people waiting, and it was not a way to think that it would be impossible to go on like this. simply set up another stall at the door, selling cold drinks while recruiting.

Sure enough, some people who were waiting came over curiously: "Recruitment? What's wrong with this? ”

Zhuang Mingyue replied with a smile when she raised her eyes: "Look at my place, there are a lot of people, and I can't be busy here, so it's better to take a few capable guys, and I'll be more relaxed." ”

"You're in business!" The visitor also smiled and praised, "Give me two cups of cold drinks, it just so happens that there is a kid in my family who is idle, why don't you bring it to you?" ”

Zhuang Mingyue took the money and nodded: "Cheng, come as soon as possible." ”

There was a precedent, and Zhuang Mingyue quickly collected all the new Xiaoer in the store. After waiting for two days, when it opened early in the morning, Zhuang Mingyue sighed while drinking cold drinks while looking at the crowded crowd and sighed, fortunately she got out quickly, otherwise she would really be busy to death.

In the past few days, Zhuang Mingyue has to wait until the second watch to close the door every night. When the lights in every house were turned off and the dogs in the alley were lying down, she had to be quiet and calculate how much money she made during the day.

Zhuang Mingyue dialed the abacus beads and almost lit up, and the money flowed down like a waterfall and saved it into Zhuang Mingyue's pocket.

After a while, she simply didn't even go to the store. With a high salary, she hired a shopkeeper and a settling account, and the rest, as long as she passed the account every month, and then paid the people under her on time, sometimes these things don't need to go through her hands, and someone will take care of it for her.

It's just that the cold drink has just been sold for a while, and there is a small shopkeeper of a well-known restaurant in the capital, so he called someone to send a message to Zhuang Mingyue.

However, Zhuang Mingyue was not in the store at the time, and it was only two days before she went that the maid told her.

"The shopkeeper, the people from Fengxian Restaurant have talked two days ago." Seeing that Zhuang Mingyue was coming, the little girl hurriedly stopped her.

Zhuang Mingyue raised her eyebrows in surprise.

She knows Fengxian Restaurant, and in the capital, who doesn't know that his dishes are very delicious. What's more, there are often some princes and nobles there, and their own conditions have improved a lot.

"What did you say?" Zhuang Mingyue asked.

The little guy thought about it carefully, and told the original words: "The people over there came and said, please Miss Zhuang have time to come to Fengxian to narrate, our shopkeeper heard that your cold drink is very magical, I want to understand, entrust it." ”

When Zhuang Mingyue heard this, she lowered her brows. She thought that since such a big tavern wanted to entrust her, it was not difficult to think that it was nothing more than wanting to cooperate.

Zhuang Mingyue pursed her lips: "When did Fengxian's people come?" ”

"Just two days ago, it was also this time period." The little guy replied respectfully.

Zhuang Mingyue smiled: "Why did you just tell me today?" ”

"This ...... It's not that it didn't happen. The little guy explained truthfully.

"Hmm......" Zhuang Mingyue nodded thoughtfully, "The person who came is Fengxian's little shopkeeper?" ”

"No, it's a buddy. I inquired later, and the brothers who often go there all said that they are eye-catching, and they are probably from the back kitchen. "The little guy sold a little clever.

Zhuang Mingyue thought about it, but thought that this little guy was very interesting, so she rewarded him with some silver, and said: "If there is anything in the future, remember to find someone to pass on me." I don't blame you for not passing the word in time today, but I have to reward you, you know that it's a good thing to inquire. Do it well. ”

The little guy was very happy, nodded and touched the silver before retreating to greet business.

Zhuang Mingyue thought about it, and didn't feel that Fengxian's sincerity was a little. Anyway, I also want to do business with her Zhuang Mingyue, neither send a small shopkeeper to talk about it, nor send a guy who can take care of it to talk about it, but in the end, I still don't look down on her small shop, I always think that there is money to be made, so she can't wait to post it?

The little guy in the store didn't tell her the news in time, but he also helped her and threw a face at Fengxian's side.

Ordinary stores have passed on messages to each other, and no matter whether it succeeds or not, there must always be a reply within a day. If there is no reply, then there is some contempt in it.

Now, Zhuang Mingyue didn't feel Fengxian's sincerity, so the necessary reply was no longer necessary.

Zhuang Mingyue thought that if she didn't get a response to this kind of big store once, she would feel ashamed and not come again, so she just hugged her small store that became more popular day by day.

However, within a few days, Fengxian's people came again. This time, the little shopkeeper came to the door in person, with a few small tails behind him, paper, pen, ink, inkstone, and everything.

happened to meet Zhuang Mingyue to check the store. She stepped into the small shop with her front foot, and the little shopkeeper with Fengxian followed with her back foot.

When the little shopkeeper saw Zhuang Mingyue's cordiality, Zhuang Mingyue was frightened to think that they were long-lost brothers and sisters. She wondered if Fengxian would send someone to keep an eye on her shop.

"Shopkeeper Zhuang, this is such a coincidence, I just came to you and ran into it. The first few times I came, you weren't there. The little shopkeeper's smile was bright.

"Ah, is it? That's a real delay for you. Zhuang Mingyue showed an embarrassed but polite smile.

The little shopkeeper waved his hand generously: "Hey, it's okay." Just run into it today. ”

Zhuang Mingyue was skeptical of the little shopkeeper's words, but her face was not inconspicuous, and she still had a faint smile: "What's the matter with the little shopkeeper?" Have time to visit my shop? ”

"You're still a small shop, aren't you?"

Zhuang Mingyue saw the expression of the little shopkeeper, and she felt that she was about to give a magnificent compliment, so she hurriedly stopped: "Ha, it's just that business has been better in the past two days, what are you doing?" Try my cold drink? ”

"To tell you the truth, I sent someone to you some time ago to talk to you about cold drinks." The little shopkeeper saw that the other party was a little cold, so he said bluntly, "But then you have no news, so I will come to the door in person today." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Since Fengxian's people are willing to deign to come over and laugh, then Zhuang Mingyue is of course pretending to be deaf and dumb to get the greatest benefit for himself.

"Why, didn't anyone tell you?" The little shopkeeper's surprised expression was a bit fake.

The little shopkeeper is willing to follow Zhuang Mingyue and pretend to be deaf and dumb, so she can't regress too early.

"This ...... I'll have to call someone to ask first. Zhuang Mingyue was about to call a little guy, but the little shopkeeper knew that he was at a loss, and he wished that the other party didn't know that he had sent someone.

"No, no, I don't need to." The little shopkeeper smiled, "Shopkeeper Zhuang, now that time is tight, I won't talk too much nonsense, I came to you today to discuss things with you." ”

"Oh?" Zhuang Mingyue raised her eyebrows, seeing that he had finally gotten to the point, she just replied with a word and stopped talking.

"We Fengxian feel that your cold drink sells well and is novel, why don't you cooperate with us and supply us with a certain amount of cold drinks every day? Of course, the price should be carefully discussed. "How bright and bright the little shopkeeper's smile is.

Zhuang Mingyue pondered for a while, but did not reply in time, with a soft smile on her face, as if waiting for the little shopkeeper to continue.

"What do you think?" The little shopkeeper asked tentatively.

Zhuang Mingyue touched her chin and withdrew her smile. The little shopkeeper secretly complained, this shopkeeper really didn't look like an ordinary woman, and this time he had given Ma Wei several times.

"I think so, you provide a certain amount of products to our store every day, what about the price, after all, we also have a large volume, how much money do you see can be dealed?" One of the little shopkeepers struggled to support, as long as Zhuang Mingyue didn't speak, the scene would be extremely embarrassing, and then he would fall into a state of "if the little shopkeeper doesn't say something, the business will be yellow".

"Hmm......" Zhuang Mingyue hesitated again and again, and finally issued a warning, and then looked at the little shopkeeper with a smile, "It sounds good, but the business of our store is not bad, it is good to be able to cooperate with your store, but I am not short of that money, so what about the price?" ”

went around and around, and still threw the question about money to the little shopkeeper.

The little shopkeeper's face was a little ugly, Zhuang Mingyue was indeed much more difficult to deal with than he thought.

"In that case, you sell for three dollars, and you see a ...... for one and a half dollars?"

As soon as the little shopkeeper's words came out, Zhuang Mingyue lost the desire to continue talking with him, she inadvertently interrupted the little shopkeeper's words, and called a little servant: "Add some water to the little shopkeeper of Fengxian, I see that he is thirsty." ”

"......" The little shopkeeper almost couldn't even laugh anymore. Doesn't that mean that the price is too low? He gritted his teeth and mentioned, "That one penny ......"

"Bring some more snacks and bring them back to the little shopkeeper to taste." The meaning of Zhuang Mingyue's words to drive people away is very clear.

The little shopkeeper knew that this person could not be offended, so he had to try to maintain his smile: "I don't need dim sum, how about two dollars?" So everybody's good. ”

"Two and a half cents." Zhuang Mingyue saw that it was almost over, so she smiled and said, "So everyone is fine." ”

“……”

The little shopkeeper saw that the other party made a price, and instantly breathed a sigh of relief, if he didn't offer a price like just now, it would be terrifying.

"Cold drinks were collected in batches by Fengxian, I don't think it should be sold like this, after all, Fengxian is such a big store, isn't it?" Zhuang Mingyue saw the other party's expression, and no longer embarrassed him, so she opened up and said, "You make money, I also make money, Fengxian is the first to come to collect cold drinks, it is inevitable that there will be no other stores in the future, when the time comes, I will sell face to Fengxian, and give other people a high point." ”
