When the two sisters heard that Liu Yunqing had a solution, they were naturally delighted. However, the strong medicine was quite frightening, so they were reluctant to agree to it for the time being.

Seeing this, Liu Yunqing didn't say much. She stood up and asked the two ladies to think about it carefully and come back to her when they had made up their minds.

When it comes to doing business, sometimes you just need courage, and Chunhe Teahouse has reached a point where it must fall in order to rise again.

If the Du ladies do not have this kind of courage and are timid, it would be better for them to give up as soon as possible. They may be able to make some money by selling the Chunhe Teahouse and open another one. With their skills, they will not be too bad.

Just as Liu Yunqing was about to push open the door and walk out with Li Baer in her arms, suddenly, Madam Du called her.

"Madam Liu, please stay!"

Liu Yunqing turned his head and saw that the two sisters had obviously made their decision.

"To be honest with you, Madam Liu, if Chunhe Teahouse hadn't gone out of business, my two sisters wouldn't have come to you out of desperation. The worst that could happen is that we would have closed the shop and sold it!"

"Please let go, Madam Liu. We have no complaints no matter what the outcome is. We will reward you handsomely afterwards!"

Liu Yunqing smiled, turned around and walked in front of the two of them, extending his right hand in front of Madam Du.

"Since I dared to say that I have a way to save Chunhe Tea House, I never thought of disappointing the two ladies."

"Manager Du, happy cooperation!"

Madam Du grasped Liu Yunqing's hand and imitated Liu Yunqing.

"Manager Liu, happy cooperation!"

After returning home, Liu Yunqing stayed in the room and worked on the plans peacefully. She didn't have time to go to the paper mill today. It happened that her mother had been in charge of the incense making for her, so she had to trouble her mother to go there for her.

With Yunxi and Xiaoman taking care of the bookstore, she was not worried at all. Li Baer even brought people to guard her house every day, so she felt very safe.

Liu Yunqing hadn't written a business plan for a long time, but he didn't feel unfamiliar with it at all. After an hour, he felt a great sense of accomplishment when he saw that he had written twenty pages in one breath.

She was not in a hurry to give the plan to Madam Du. As she had agreed to give it to him tomorrow, it would be given to him tomorrow.

After all, she is doing business with others. Her planning speed does not mean it is easy. The remuneration has not been negotiated yet. Don't let Madam Du think that this is an easy job and deliberately lower the price.

After putting the plan away, Liu Yunqing went to the store.

The book bar in the backyard has been almost ready. Since it does not require any complicated and delicate bookshelves, tables and chairs, it is easy for Carpenter Dong to make it. He and his two apprentices only worked for a few days to prepare everything.

I applied varnish last night and now I just need to let the smell dry. Tomorrow I can ask the waiter to put the books in, and then I will serve refreshments in the book bar.

Liu Yunqing was not an expert at making tea, and the book bar was not a place for people to taste tea. It was getting hotter today, so she thought of preparing some cool drinks and snacks.

No matter how simple it is, it still requires effort. Liu Yunqing is busy with several things, and what he lacks most is time and energy.

It just so happened that Madam Du was looking for her today. If this cooperation could go smoothly and Madam Du was trustworthy, Liu Yunqing planned to outsource the refreshments in the book bar to Chunhe Teahouse.

Firstly, it would save her from worries, and secondly, if planned properly, Chunhe Teahouse would surely be extremely popular. Those who could not get refreshments at Chunhe Teahouse would naturally come to the Shufang, and those who enjoyed the meals at the Shufang would also flow into Chunhe Teahouse. This would be a win-win situation.

Another thing is that Madam Du’s cooking skills are really good. I had tea and tried fruits and snacks at her place today, and they were absolutely amazing.

Of course, the premise of this outsourcing cooperation is whether Chunhe Teahouse can be revived in her hands.

Liu Yunqing was confident, so he took care of his own affairs first, decorated the book bar nicely, hired two capable ladies to do the simple cleaning and ordering, and then prepared for the cooperation.

After informing Tong Yunxi and Xiaoman, Liu Yunqing took the silver and went out to find the human trafficker.

There wasn't much money in the account now, so after discussing with A Niang, he decided to focus on business first.

The book bar needs two young ladies with nimble hands and feet, and another one to help A-niang make incense. It would be better to hire another person to go to the flower shed to buy groceries, so that all these groceries don't fall on Liu Yunqing alone.

She was so tired from running around these days that she even wore out a pair of her shoes.

Liu Yunqing was thinking as he walked. Currently, the output of incense paper is not large, and if he goes for the high-quality product route, once other companies imitate it, he will have to expand production.

At the same time, he also makes private customization for some dignitaries, so that he can firmly grasp the incense paper business in his own hands.

Soon they arrived at the east market. Noisy hawking sounds were heard all around. Liu Yunqing came back to his senses and went to look for the place where the human traffickers gathered.

Liu Yunqing randomly picked a broker with a friendly face and asked him if he had any girls for sale.

Hiring someone is cheaper, but it's not as safe as buying them directly. Besides, incense paper is a trade secret and can only be used by your own people.

The dentist laughed so hard that his teeth were visible, and immediately invited Liu Yunqing to a nearby stall.

It was called a stall, but it was just two carts put together, covered with a torn straw mat, on which a group of half-grown children were huddled together.

It was dirty and gray, and all black at a glance. The smell was even worse, even worse than a raw meat stall, and each one had a straw tag on its head.

There are so many of them, and they are all selling themselves.

The situation is much better for those who do not sell their bodies but are only employed. No matter whether they are laborers or cooks, they all have families and are naturally dressed neatly.

However, the matchmakers did not seem to care about them. They only made a profit from the agency fee. It was more profitable to sell people. Otherwise, Liu Yunqing would not have received such enthusiasm from the matchmakers.

"Madam, wait a moment. Just pick whatever you like. If you don't like this batch, I have another batch. I guarantee you will be satisfied with what you buy."

After saying this, the broker went towards the children on the cart. He took out a whip from his waist and swung it on the railing of the cart with a "snap".

The children did not seem afraid, as if they were used to such scenes. They just lined up silently and walked down.

It was not until they stood up that Liu Yunqing saw that they were tied up with a rope. The clothes on their bodies were like torn sacks that could only cover their bodies. They were all pale and thin. Some of them looked not even as tall as her waist and looked to be only five or six years old.

"Why are you hesitating? My lady wants to buy you because she thinks highly of you. Why don't you hurry up and ask my lady to look at you one by one? You will live a good life if you are bought by my lady!"

"You are all cheap bastards, only good at eating and not doing anything! If you don't obey me, I will sell you to a brothel!"

Liu Yunqing felt very uncomfortable with the arrogance of the broker, but he would not allow the broker to be arrogant anymore, so he went forward and asked despite the stench.

"I want someone who is nimble and can read a few words, no matter how old she is, who will eat and live with me at home, give me four new sets of clothes a year, and give me money."
