Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich
Chapter 41 Settlement
The heroine's side was in a mess, but Ye Guo's family was thriving.
As the soap production progressed, we gradually changed the delivery schedule to once every two days, and the quantity increased.
Fifteen days passed by in a flash, and soon it was the last day agreed in the contract.
Although it was still in Santan, the meeting place was changed to Cuiyun Teahouse because of the market and the busy clinic.
There are about a dozen tables in the teahouse hall, and there are five or six tables near the window, which is two steps higher than the hall and covered with linen, so it doesn't feel too hot even under the sun.
The tea tables are all of the same color, made of thick wood with smooth and delicate tabletops. The chairs are equipped with soft cushions, and there are calligraphy and paintings or landscape paintings hanging on the walls, adding a bit of cultural atmosphere.
They booked a private room. The waiter led the way with a white towel draped over his shoulder. Ye Guo walked in front, while Ye Cheng supported Ye Lao Er, who was on crutches, and slowly climbed the stairs.
Taohuawu, a poetic and picturesque name.
Hearing the knock on the door, Sun Qian, who arrived first, stood up from the main seat and personally welcomed Ye Guo and the others in.
Sun Qian was wearing a blue silk suit today, and he looked very wealthy.
The accountant he brought with him looked to be in his early thirties. He was wearing an off-white satin suit and holding an abacus in his hand, instantly creating a working atmosphere.
"Uncle Sun, you really know how to choose a place." Ye Guo praised without hesitation, and did not forget to take the opportunity to seek benefits for himself and his family. "Such a good place, I wonder what special cakes there are?"
Sun Qian and she both sat down at the main seats and laughed when they heard it. "Their signature dish is Biluochun glutinous rice cake. I brought my own tea, which is tribute tea from the imperial city."
Ye Guo was pleasantly surprised when he heard it, "Then I'll wait and try it carefully."
The tea industry of this era was very developed, and there were even special tea ceremony competitions. Therefore, teahouses were extremely common.
The first time Ye Guo entered the room, he was attracted by the furniture in the private room. It was made of top-quality peach blossom pear wood with exquisite lotus patterns carved on it.
The tables and chairs are elegantly arranged, with antique cushioned chairs in front of the tables and small, exquisite coffee tables next to the seats for placing tea cups and snacks.
There is a screen in the corner of the room, which serves as both decoration and partition, increasing privacy.
The layout of the entire private room is elegant and grand, creating a quiet tea-tasting atmosphere.
When the snacks came, Ye Guo felt even more delighted.
Biluochun glutinous rice cake is made with locally produced Biluochun tea leaves, paired with soft glutinous rice and just the right amount of sweetness, giving it a taste that combines freshness and sweetness. Some crushed tea leaves are also sprinkled on the cake, which adds to the aroma and layering of the dessert, making it unique and unforgettable.
Ye Guo has always been particular about food, so he was naturally not polite. After eating two pieces, he commented, "The cake is as good as its name, it looks good and tastes good. Uncle Sun, please ask someone to pack two portions, and I will take them back for my family later."
Why are you packing the pastries when we haven’t even started discussing business yet?
Even though Sun Qian was well-informed, he was still stunned by Ye Guo's trick. He said with a bit of a smile: "Xiao Guo, you really don't treat me as an outsider!"
The smile on his face was even brighter than before.
After the pleasantries, it’s time to get down to business.
Sun Qian reached out and took the account book from the accountant, flipped through the account and said, "The total amount of soap is 14,000 yuan. The unit price of the latter is generally higher. Excluding the mid-term delivery, I still owe you 136 taels."
“Is this number correct?”
Ye Guo drank his tea without raising his head, "Yes, that's right."
"So I rounded it up to an even number. One hundred taels of silver notes, and the rest is loose change for your convenience." In the absence of his father, Sun Qian did not dare to underestimate Ye Guo at all.
"Uncle Sun is so generous. Next time you have such good things, please remember to look for me." When the money was safely in his pocket, Ye Guo couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Wholesalers still make money!
"When does Uncle Sun plan to leave for the Imperial City? If possible, I would like to go with you and see you off in person at the ferry." You can go to the Imperial City by water or by land, but Sun Qian has more goods, the water route is cheaper, and the Sun family has their own boat, which she had inquired about in advance.
She also knew that to go to the imperial city, she had to first go to the ferry in the provincial capital, where the Sun family's boat was docked.
I am young and the Ye family has no roots, so it is definitely not suitable for me to go to the imperial city. However, whether it is Yejia Village or Santan, the information is too backward.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if the emperor changed, no one here would know about it for half a year or a year.
Information asymmetry is fatal in modern times. Ye Guo is now a person with some money, so he must first increase his sense of security.
The first step to be taken is naturally not to build houses or do routine operations to ensure that the whole village has enough food and clothing. The famine will come next year, so there is no rush.
She was eager to know the historical background, administrative divisions, class distribution, ways to rise, and legal codes at any level.
Compared with the heroine who first went to the county town and then to the provincial capital.
Ye Guo had already thought about it when he started making soap: the first stop would be the provincial capital.
It's not that she took big steps, but Ye Guo, who grew up in a society where everyone is equal, has nothing to fear.
If the distance wasn't too far, she would dare to go directly to the imperial city.
As soon as Ye Guo said this, Ye Lao Er, whose leg had not yet fully healed, was so shocked that he almost stood up. However, Ye Cheng was quick to hold him down.
"Uncle, you have to trust my aunt." Ye Cheng reminded in a low voice while taking a breath.
Although Ye Lao Er sat down, there was countless worry in his eyes.
"Xiaoguo, it seems that your decision is a bit sudden!" Sun Qian is a businessman, so he naturally did not miss the lawsuit here and could not help but tease.
They all came from a young age, and Sun Qian was also famous for his skills and courage. Unlike the Ye family's worries, he was more optimistic about her.
"Second brother, don't be anxious." Ye Guo was not such an impetuous person before. She was mainly afraid of missing out on Sun Qian's ride. She smiled openly and said, "Uncle Sun, you haven't agreed to my request yet!"
Sun Qian could tell that this was her way of provoking her. Considering that she was definitely not going alone, it would be a piece of cake to take care of a few more people along the way.
So he put down the teacup in his hand, half leaned on the edge of the table, and smiled at Ye Guo who was only a head away from him, "This matter will definitely be no problem for me. It will only take three days to get to the ferry in the provincial capital. Even if you say you want to go to the imperial city, I will consider it."
"Boss Sun, don't listen to the nonsense of a little girl. We will never agree to let her go to the Imperial City." Ye Lao Er originally planned to scold his child at home, but after hearing Sun Qian's cautious and supportive attitude.
How could he sit still? He was not afraid of offending anyone and interrupted the conversation, which made Sun Qian laugh.
The look he gave Ye Guo was like listening to gossip, the content of which was: the child is disobedient and needs to be scolded.
"Uncle Sun, please don't try to trick me like this! I was thinking about going out and seeing the world." Ye Guo couldn't help but complain, which showed that the relationship between them was no longer the same as before.
Sun Qian gloated and retorted, "It has nothing to do with me. I always support you."
"When I came here today, my old man specifically told me to ask if there was any news about your master's reply."
He was afraid that he seemed too anxious, so he added, "Old man, I just asked about the progress, I didn't mean to rush you."
