After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

The morning light is dim and the sun is rising in the east.

At the end of the month, Su Qingcheng left for the teahouse after breakfast, intending to check out the profit for the month.

As soon as she arrived at the door of the tea house, a feeling of something wrong spread in her heart. The door looked too desolate, and none of the small stalls that usually lined the streets were seen today.

Counting the days, she had not been to the teahouse for half a month. Su Qingcheng walked into the teahouse with doubts, and Xiaodie greeted her immediately.

"Princess, you are here." Xiaodie said with a sad smile on her face.

Su Qingcheng looked around. It was almost noon and there were only a handful of people in the teahouse. Most of the people who came went to the VIP area, and the hall was empty.

"Why are there so few guests today?" Su Qingcheng frowned.

Xiaodie sighed: "Princess, this is the account book for this month. The first half of the month was normal. In the second half of the month, the tea merchant who has been cooperating with us suddenly wanted to increase the price, and it suddenly increased by 50%. We don't understand either. He said that during the rainy season, tea leaves are particularly difficult to pick.”

"Fifty percent? Is he crazy?" Su Qingcheng looked at the account book and closed it suddenly.

She took a rough look at the account book, and the situation was similar to what Xiaodie said. Xiaodie and the others were not familiar with the market in the capital, so they would only suffer a loss when encountering tea merchants who raised prices from the ground up.

Xiaodie continued with a helpless tone: "We have to raise the price, but many customers cannot accept the sudden price increase, especially ordinary people, so there are fewer and fewer people. This has been the case for seven days.

She was silent for a while and said: "I understand the increase in selling price, but why did no one come to report it to me when it suddenly increased so much?"

Xiaodie is the general manager of the teahouse, and the person responsible for purchasing and accounting is another woman named Ajin who was rescued from the underground well at that time.

"Ajin contracted a serious illness half a month ago, and now her sister Ali is in charge of the accounts."

Su Qingcheng frowned slightly. Logically speaking, the women in the underground well were all abandoned by their families, and there were very few people like Lou Minglan.

Xiaodie glanced at Su Qingcheng in embarrassment: "At that time, I came to Yunan Prince's Mansion to look for you, but when you were not here, I made the decision without permission."

Su Qingcheng was stunned. Seeing Xiaodie looking so haggard, she said warmly: "It's my fault. I've been too busy recently and I've neglected the tea house. I'll go to the tea merchant in person later to ask what's going on. "

Then she looked at the waiter in the teahouse: "Isn't A Li here yet?"

"She has to take care of Ah Jin, and she usually comes after the future. I also think this is not good, but... alas." Xiaodie sighed.

Su Qingcheng always felt that things were not that simple. Although tea was indeed affected by the seasons, 50% was too exaggerated.

And it was strange for the sisters that they didn't discuss such an important matter with her.

"Let's restore the selling price today. This price is absolutely unacceptable. A pot of Dragon Dance tea costs twenty coins."

After she finished speaking, Xiaodie immediately went to execute it, while Su Qingcheng took Wu Ya to find the tea merchant.

At the pier.

There was a lot of traffic, and businessmen from all over the place were coming and going. It was very lively. All kinds of items can be found here, and the largest and best stores in the entire capital are gathered here.

Su Qingcheng put on a veil and walked into the tea merchant's shop. The waiter guarding the shop immediately greeted her: "Is this boss here to purchase goods or ship goods?"

"I'm a guy from Yipin Xianming, and I'm here to see you, Shopkeeper Liu." Su Qingcheng said.

When the waiter heard that it was Yipin Xianming, his expression changed briefly, but he was still caught by Su Qingcheng.

"The boss doesn't know something. The shopkeeper of our tea shop is no longer shopkeeper Liu, but now shopkeeper Niu." As soon as the waiter finished speaking, someone opened the curtain and came out.

I saw that the person who came was tall and thin, and there was a glimmer in his eyes: "I just heard it from behind, the guy from Yipin Xianming, right? What's the matter?"

Su Qingcheng narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice: "Our princess checked the accounts today and found that the price of the tea you provided has increased by 50%. She specially ordered me to ask for the reason."

"I already told Xiaodie, your manager, that the tea harvest is not good during the rainy season." Shopkeeper Niu said in an impatient tone.

"I specifically asked other tea shops, but they only increased by 20%. Could it be that the rain in your tea mountain is heavier than others?" Su Qingcheng said coldly and solemnly, with no warmth at all in his eyebrows.

Shopkeeper Niu was startled and realized that the person in front of him was not as easy to fool as Xiaodie. He immediately put away his careless attitude and said with a smile: "Hey, man, everything is easy for us to discuss. Since it is the person sent by the princess herself, everything is easy to discuss." .”

Su Qingcheng originally wanted to cooperate with a tea shop directly, but this shop has the largest variety of teas on the entire street. Many of Yipin Xianming's teas are only available in his shop.

Su Qingcheng had no choice but to make do until she found another tea merchant who could cooperate.

She said coldly: "I will give you 30% at most."

Shopkeeper Niu raised his eyes and agreed immediately.

After walking out of the tea shop, Su Qingcheng calmly said to Wu Ya behind him: "There seems to be something wrong with this shopkeeper Niu. Please pay more attention to it."

Immediately, she turned around and walked into a store called "Zhouji Pharmacy".

This is Fu Xingzhou's medicine shop.

Su Qingcheng needs to find out whether the drugs from Dongling Kingdom have flowed into the capital in large quantities.

When you step into the medicine shop, the scent of medicine hits your face and calms your mind.

Su Qingcheng walked directly to the doctor and whispered: "I want a medicine that can make people die without knowing it!"

Gritting his teeth, his eyes were full of anger.

The doctor was so frightened that he quickly got up and closed the door, and said tremblingly: "Miss, you almost asked me to be buried with you! How can you be so loud, are you afraid that others will not know that you want to kill someone?"

Su Qingcheng pursed her lips and said angrily: "Just tell me if you have!"

The doctor looked Su Qingcheng up and down, his eyes unclear: "Why do you want this medicine?"

"Hmph, I want to kill that man. He deceived me from Liucheng, and ended up taking all my dowry to gamble and drink. He came back to beat me when he was drunk. He ransomed a brothel girl into his home and said he wanted to divorce me. She will be the wife of the wife!"

After hearing this, the doctor snorted coldly and said slowly: "Men are like this, you have to be more open-minded. This is a regular pharmacy, how can we have such harmful things."

Although Su Qingcheng made this up casually, what the doctor said made her feel unhappy.

She took out a whole bag of silver coins and put it on the table, and said, "Are these coins enough?"

The doctor's eyes shone when he saw the whole bag of money, and there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes. After a moment, he still refused: "Our pharmacy really doesn't have one."

Su Qingcheng sighed and was about to leave, but the doctor suddenly stopped her: "Miss, our house will receive a new batch of goods in three days. You can come and see if there is anything you want."

She curled her lips, answered, and turned around to leave.
