The Moon is Full in the Traveling House
Chapter 51 Procurement
After leaving the dental shop, Su Lun subconsciously glanced to the side, and a teahouse called "Chayuxuan" came into view. He raised his mouth slightly, turned his head and said to the steward Wen beside him: "Steward Wen, today's matter is really thanks to you. Why don't we go to the Chayuxuan in front to take a rest and taste the tea here, what do you think?"
Manager Wen waved his hand and replied with a smile, "Captain Su, you are too polite. The mansion has just been built, and I believe you still have many important matters to deal with in person. If you need any other help in the future, just ask. Forget about the tea."
After hearing the answer from the manager, Su Lun paused for a moment. His eyes were like torches, as if they could penetrate people's hearts. He stared at the manager. After a moment of silence, Su Lun said, "I have already delayed the manager for a long time. Now that the staff is ready, if the manager has other important matters to deal with, Su Lun will not bother him any more. It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it." As he spoke, Su Lun took out a small and exquisite purse from his arms and gently placed it on the table. The purse was bulging, and it seemed to contain something important.
Seeing this, Manager Wen quickly waved his hand to refuse, his face full of fear and uneasiness, "Captain Su, this is absolutely not allowed! I am just following orders, how can I deserve such a generous gift from you, sir?"
However, Su Lun's tone was unusually firm. He said seriously, "Manager Wen is wrong. This recruitment was made possible only because of your hard work. In the future, we may need your help in many other matters. I hope you will not refuse."
After hearing this, Manager Wen felt a little relieved, but still a little hesitant. He declined again, saying, "Captain Su, you are too polite. These are all my responsibilities. I really don't deserve such a generous reward."
Seeing that Manager Wen was still trying to refuse, Su Lun stepped forward, forced the purse into Manager Wen's hands, and said sincerely, "Manager Wen, there is no need to refuse. This is just a small token of my appreciation. If Manager Wen feels bad about this, please help me in other ways in the future."
Seeing Su Lun's persistence and sincerity, Manager Wen knew that if he refused again, Su Lun would be unhappy. So he had no choice but to accept the purse with gratitude and thanked Su Lun: "Thank you for the reward, Captain Su. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
"Steward Wen, take care." Su Lun bowed slightly and saluted to Steward Wen. After Steward Wen left, Su Lun slowly stood up, with a barely perceptible shrewd look in his eyes.
After Manager Wen gradually walked away and completely disappeared from his sight, Su Lun slowly moved his eyes away from his back and turned to look at the large group of people behind him. It was still more than an hour before dinner time. If they started buying ingredients and preparing to cook now, they didn't know if they would be in time. In addition, they also needed to purchase a large amount of daily necessities, but it was not clear whether there was a place nearby to sell these items or whether there were enough transportation to transport them.
After thinking for a while, Su Lun decided to understand the surrounding situation before making any plans. So he turned around and walked to Su Hao's side and told him his idea. After hearing this, Su Hao immediately understood Su Lun's intention and quickly replied: "Sir, there is a carriage and horse shop not far ahead. If you have this need, you can go and check it out."
Hearing Su Hao's words, Su Lun felt a little relieved. He nodded, indicating his approval of the suggestion, and said to Su Hao: "In this case, why don't we split up. Qingfeng, can you take the others back home first? How about Qingsong and housekeeper Su stay and go shopping together?"
Everyone answered in unison, "Yes." Not long after, the three of them arrived at a carriage shop. They were really lucky. There were several ready-made carriages for them to choose from. You know, in this era, transportation is not as popular and developed as it is in the 21st century. Sure enough, the prosperity of the capital is not comparable to a small place like Fengcheng. After a careful comparison, Su Lun finally spent thirty taels of silver to buy a relatively spacious and comfortable carriage. After all, the roads here are far less spacious and flat than those in modern times, and the carriage should be stable and comfortable. After the silver and goods were settled, the three of them immediately set off again and headed for the next purchasing point.
Under the guidance of housekeeper Su, Su Lun soon arrived at "Chen's Trading Company". This trading company is well-known in Beijing. It is not only large in scale, but also has an excellent reputation. It has many branches in Beijing. Its business model is a bit like a modern large supermarket, with a wide variety of goods for sale.
As soon as he entered the store, Su Lun's eyes were attracted by the kitchenware area not far away. At this time, Qingsong beside him said in time: "Captain Su, the kitchen has all the pots, pans, and utensils, but the seasonings and ingredients have not been prepared yet..."
"Well, let's buy some food and seasonings first." As soon as the words fell, several people quickly took action. They shuttled between the shelves and carefully selected the items they needed. Before long, they had selected 100 kilograms of rice, 50 kilograms of flour, two sets of exquisite tea sets, 50 pairs of clean bowls and chopsticks, and various daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar, and wine.
However, Su Lun still felt a little regretful because there was no fresh food he wanted. He couldn't help but sigh secretly, thinking that if he could buy fresh ingredients, tonight's dinner would definitely be more sumptuous and delicious.
The shopkeeper was sharp-eyed and could tell at a glance that this customer was a big spender, so he hurried forward to help move the selected items to the car, and said with a smile on his face: "Sir, you really have a good eye! These are all the finest goods in our store. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. Just make a list and we will send someone to deliver the items to your house. I guarantee that you will be satisfied."
After hearing this, Su Lun secretly admired in his heart that this person was indeed smart and capable, and knew how to attract customers. No wonder he was able to run the store so well and even opened several branches. Today was his first time here, and he was not fully prepared. In the future, such matters should naturally be handed over to the experienced housekeeper Su. However, on the surface, he still maintained politeness and humility, and thanked the shopkeeper: "Thank you for your kindness, shopkeeper."
After Su Lun finished speaking, he turned to Qingsong and asked, "Qingsong, do we also need to prepare some quilts and other things?"
Qingsong was stunned. "Captain Su, I'm sorry. I was negligent. I haven't prepared these yet..."
"Sir, do you want to purchase more bedding? We have it at Chenji's. It's the Chenji Cloth Shop next door. We have a wide variety of products. You can take your pick. We can also deliver them to your house..." the shopkeeper said excitedly. He really did not make a mistake. This was indeed a big customer.
"Okay, let's go take a look." Su Lun made the decision.
Several people stepped into the cloth shop together. Su Lun was not very interested in these cloths. He just picked two sets of simple and elegant bedding at random, then turned to the housekeeper Su and Qingsong behind him and said softly: "If you like any style, you can choose it yourself. Let's prepare two sets for each person in the mansion."
Butler Su was slightly startled, but soon realized Su Lun's intention. He quickly bowed to express his gratitude. Then, he began to carefully select various beddings, not only paying attention to quality and comfort, but also carefully comparing prices. After careful selection, Butler Su finally selected dozens of sets of beddings that were worth the money and economical.
Qingsong on the side was responsible for reporting the address of the Su Mansion to the shopkeeper. Seeing this, the shopkeeper smiled happily and promised to deliver the bedding to the house as soon as possible.
Su Lun looked up at the sky and found that it was already late. If he went to the market to buy vegetables, he might not have enough time to prepare dinner. So he decided to go to a nearby restaurant and pack some delicious food to bring back to his mansion.
Steward Su and Qingsong naturally had no objection to this and expressed their agreement. The three of them then stepped out of the cloth shop and headed for the nearest restaurant. Although Su Lun was used to being frugal, this was the first day of moving after all, and everyone had just met, so they ordered all the signature dishes in the restaurant without hesitation. The waiter carried several heavy wooden barrels to the car, and the few people returned home with full loads.
