A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu
Chapter 64 Doing business in partnership
The streets on the sixth day of July are so lively, what will it be like on the seventh day?
Zhuang Weining and Lin Qingyang agreed to help Aying, so they went to General Zhenyuan's Mansion early in the morning.
General Zhenyuan led troops outside all year round, and he did not form any cliques or factions. He had no close or distant relationship with anyone and was trusted by the emperor.
The general has two sons. The eldest son is now leading troops in the south, and the old general and the youngest son are in the capital. Now is a peaceful and prosperous time. The small countries in the south are stable and there is no war, so the general does not need to be stationed on the border all year round.
The general's mansion is different from ordinary mansions. The stone lions at the door are more majestic.
The decoration and furnishings inside the mansion are simple and natural, but the gardens inside the mansion are no different from others. They are all places for play and relaxation, but there are not many flowers and plants here.
Zhuang Yunlin sent someone to deliver dried fruits early in the morning. Zhuang Weining and Lin Qingyang brought a few maids to help Ah Ying. Women are always more careful than men, and the maids around girls are mostly responsible for delicate work, so they are naturally more careful and serious.
There were many ingredients, so everyone set up tables and chairs in the yard and divided up the tasks.
Everyone put all the ingredients in a large basket, placed it on the table, and laid them out in order.
Some people are responsible for packing, some are responsible for cutting paper, and some are responsible for weighing.
Lin Qingyang looked at the unknown ingredient in Ah Ying's hand and asked, "What is this?"
Ah Ying smiled and said, "This thing can detoxify. There's none in the capital. I put some in my tea. It can clear away heat and reduce internal heat. It can save lives in an emergency."
Lin Qingyang didn't think that anything that could be put into fruit tea could "save lives".
The division of labor was like that of an assembly line, and all the work was completed in less than an hour.
Ah Ying asked people to put the packaged tea into large boxes and move the boxes directly at night.
While the servants were cleaning, Ah Ying personally made fruit tea for all the people who helped today.
"Luckily, I have you here today, otherwise I really don't know when I can finish these things." Ah Ying, Lin Qingyang, and Zhuang Weining sat on wooden stools, enjoying the cool under the tree. As busy as they were just now, they felt more comfortable now.
Lin Qingyang looked at Ah Ying, who looked contented, and raised a question in his mind.
"Miss Aying, I wonder how long you will stay in the capital. If it is long, you can open a teahouse by yourself. I think the business will not be bad."
"I would like to, but I'm unfamiliar with the place, and it's not easy to do business in the capital." Ah Ying expressed her worries. "And the generals may not allow me to show my face in public."
"If Miss Ying wants to, it's not difficult, and you don't have to show up every day. You can just be responsible for the ingredients and hire people to help. I'm interested in running a business with Miss Ying. I wonder what Miss Ying thinks."
After hearing what Lin Qingyang said, Aying stared at her and smiled.
"Sister Princess, you remind me of an old friend. That person was good-looking and did good business."
Then he said, "If the princess has this idea, I have a lot of secret recipes in my hand. We can ask Master Zhuang for the materials and open a tea shop together to provide tea for the women in Beijing. That would be a good idea."
Zhuang Weining didn't say anything, but she heard their conversation.
"Then take me with you. I have nothing to do anyway. I can also contact some ladies in the capital to help you promote your products."
After a few people have talked, it will be decided.
"Miss Aying, although you don't have to take care of this business yourself, we still need to go out and have a look. But why is General Yang so worried about you? Last time I saw him staring at the surroundings very nervously. Could it be that Miss Aying has an enemy again?" Zhuang Weining needed to understand clearly. If Aying really came to the capital for some reason, then everything would be hard to say.
"Hey, godfather asked him to take care of me. He is always nervous, afraid that I would run around in the capital and get into trouble. I'm just a little girl, how could I have any enemies? It's okay, it's okay." Ah Ying touched her nose and rolled up her sleeves while speaking. She looked like an active little girl.
"General Zhenyuan is your godfather?" Lin Qingyang and Zhuang Weining asked.
Yesterday the young general said they were distant relatives.
"Yes, didn't I say that? When I was living in the south, they saved my life. I had no one at home, so the general and his wife took me in. My two brothers also treated me like their own sister."
After understanding the situation on Aying's side, Lin Qingyang went to ask Zhuang Weining.
"Ning'er, do your brother and father agree that you want to start a business?"
Zhuang Weining is a famous lady and talented woman in the capital. Every time she goes out, she is accompanied by many guards. After all, she is beautiful and people are afraid of encountering bad people.
"What's there to disagree with? If my cousin agrees for you to go, then I can go. Besides, we have the help of the waiters, so we don't have to serve ourselves." Zhuang Weining said confidently.
The three women decided on this matter.
After resting for a while, Lin Qingyang and Zhuang Weining returned to their respective residences. It was only noon, so they could go home and have a rest. Although the market of the Qiqiao Festival was held both during the day and at night, there were more people at night, so they agreed to meet at a teahouse in the evening.
That night, the streets were even more lively. Lin Qingyang and Zhuang Weining came to the market again accompanied by Zhuang Yunlin and Xiao Anwang. When Lin Qingyang saw new things, he was still very curious, but today he did not buy a cart of goods like he did yesterday.
The four of them went to the teahouse. Ah Ying was making tea outside. General Yang accompanied them in the private room of the teahouse, waiting for Ah Ying's tea to be sold out. They could see the situation outside clearly from upstairs. It turned out that there were several guards following them.
The time when Aying returned to the teahouse was almost the same as yesterday. Today's fruit tea was sold out again. The business was really good.
Aying and the teahouse owner split the money in half. The owner was happy and hoped that the God of Wealth would come again tomorrow, but Aying refused because she really had run out of raw materials and she had already planned to go into business together with Lin Qingyang and others.
"Today we discussed with Aying that if she opened a teahouse of her own, the business would definitely be very good." Lin Qingyang mentioned the matter of opening a shop.
"Then just open your own business, so you don't have to give away most of the money you earn to others." Xiao Anwang continued.
"That's what people outside think. Miss Aying will provide the craftsmanship, and Ning'er and I will invest. We want to jointly open a tea shop that caters specifically to women in the capital. We'll have to trouble the prince with the materials."
After hearing this, Zhuang Yunlin looked at Prince Xiao An and said, "Your princess is doing business with others. I was clearly arranged to do so. There is no need to discuss it. This is a direct order."
The three women all laughed after hearing this.
"The capable ones should do more work. You should feel honored. The fact that they thought of you shows that you are useful." Xiao Wang An said this deliberately for Zhuang Yunlin to hear.
"Well, okay! But can you three women handle it?" Zhuang Yunlin first sighed, then asked with concern.
"We can hire someone!" the three girls said in unison.
