Chapter 065 Buying New Year's Goods

What Mu Zirui did was ugly, Grandmother Mu and Master Mu didn't dare to speak up for him, and the Miao family was ruthless, and directly ordered Mu Zirui to be driven to a boat in the Mu Mansion, and let him follow the stewards They traveled all over the country together to transport goods, and they didn't arrange any servant girls for him, but just arranged for him an old servant to carry luggage. The travel expenses were only 58 taels, and there would be nothing more.

Mu Zirui floated on the boat for nearly two months before landing, and the surroundings were extremely strange.

And when he returns to Phoenix Sea City a few years later, although Mu Zirui is still the young master of the Mu Mansion, he will be completely out of control in the business of the Mu Manor. Li has more power to speak than him, and the monthly bill given to him by the mansion is just a few dozen taels, which is not enough at all.

That's when he regretted it.

On the next day, You Xuan went to Liu's restaurant.

The shopkeeper of Liu's restaurant was looking forward to it, and when he saw You Xuan coming in with an invitation card, he greeted him personally, "You are Mr. You?"

You Xuan nodded, "Shopkeeper Jiang must have told you."

Mentioning Shopkeeper Jiang's name, Shopkeeper Liu heaved a sigh of relief, and said in relief: "Yes, yes, I asked him for a long time before he let go, saying that the business in his shop can be brought back to life, all thanks to you, Young Master You. I have also inquired about the ability, many people in the city have been mentioning Jiang’s Rouge Manor recently, those who have been there say it’s good, those who haven’t are curious.”

The shopkeeper of the restaurant surnamed Liu kept flattering him.

You Xuan heard it funny, and after entering the private room on the second floor, he didn't have an appetite for the delicious food on the table, but he still tasted a couple of mouthfuls, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, and many people in the city are getting married recently. Marry. On the way just now, I also met a procession of bridal sedan chairs preparing to pick up the bride."

Shopkeeper Liu poured wine for him, and after listening for a while, he gradually tasted it, "What do you mean...?"

You Xuan took the wine glass, took a sip of the wine politely, it was Hantan incense, the taste is not pure Hantan incense, but this wine can be regarded as good wine, he said: "Small business, let's talk about it first." Let’s talk about dividends.”

Shopkeeper Liu understood what he said, carefully took out a piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to You Xuan, and said, "I know, I asked Shopkeeper Jiang before, and he didn't say how much money he made. , This is normal, but he said that he will give you some dividends and the like, so I plan to do the same as him, if the business of our restaurant is also good, I will also give you some commissions."

The business of Liu's restaurant is not bad, but it can only be regarded as barely making ends meet.

You Xuan said "refreshing", and then said, "If shopkeeper Liu listens to me, why don't you find another way, I read it when I went out today, and there will be a good day in three days and five days later, this is the last two days One day, before I came to the restaurant, I also went to the teahouse to ask, and the waiter in the shop was well informed, and he said that there are two families nearby who have a happy event recently."

Shopkeeper Liu is more transparent and smarter than Shopkeeper Jiang from Yanzhizhuang, he understood it almost as soon as he said it, he said: "You mean, you want to persuade the two of them to hold banquets in our restaurant? This...not to mention It is said that the two of them have already prepared the invitations in advance, and they should start preparing for the food and drinks in the past two days, and our restaurant... can't do business at a loss. "

His words were both vague and clear.

You Xuan smiled disapprovingly, "Before looking for me, didn't shopkeeper Jiang tell you, how could I let you make a loss-making business."

Shopkeeper Liu really remembered and stopped talking.

You Xuandao, "Forget it, I just want to tell you first, if someone comes to ask if your restaurant can deliver dozens of tables of banquets on time in the evening three or five days later, you agree without hesitation, as for the price, you Even if it’s cheaper, [-]% off, the dishes and chopsticks will be collected by your restaurant when the time comes to wash them.”

Shopkeeper Liu didn't believe it at first, but seeing You Xuan's determined expression, he hesitated for a while, then nodded abruptly, "Success."

"As for the ingredients for the banquet for those two days, I'm also in charge, and I won't suffer much in terms of price."

Shopkeeper Liu hesitated, "We have a fixed supply of ingredients..."

"It's only two days, there's nothing to delay." You Xuan smiled, "How is it?"

Shopkeeper Liu immediately agreed.

You Xuan drank the drink in the glass in one gulp, then got up and left.

After leaving the gate of the restaurant, You Xuan walked to the gate of a house two streets away. Outside the house, an old servant was sweeping the floor. On the paper, the house said: Song House.

The one who will hold a wedding in three days is the young master of the Song residence.

And the one who will hold a wedding in five days will live in Lu's house at the entrance of the alley in front.

Both of these two families are going to marry new wives, so they will hold the banquet by themselves, and they will invite about twenty tables of guests.

You Xuan told Dahao, "You will ask the old servant of Song Zhai later, give him some silver, and ask where the ingredients for Song Zhai will be purchased in three days' time."

Dahao nodded seriously and said yes.

The ingredients of Song Zhai are to be negotiated with the vegetables in a nearby vegetable market, and it has not been decided yet. One is that the old lady of Song Zhai is still deleting, deleting, and changing the recipe of the day, and the other is that the wife of Song Zhai is stingy. I have been arguing with the vegetable merchant for several days, just wanting the vegetable merchant to give her a discount, but I haven't discussed it yet.

So the next day, when Mrs. Song finally took the recipe list to order ingredients from the vegetable merchant, the vegetable merchant told her happily, "All the ingredients for the day after tomorrow have been ordered, and the steward of Liu's Restaurant made the order. "

Mrs. Song was angry and unhappy, and was about to go back to discuss with Mrs. Song.

Mrs. Song directly took a brand new brochure and told her, "Look at the menu that Liu's restaurant just delivered. If it's a set meal, the price will be cheaper, but if you order by yourself, the price is also OK." It was discussed, and I just asked the accountant to calculate it, although there is a little more money, it is quite pompous, it is the only one in Phoenix Sea City."

Of course Mrs. Song was not willing to part with the money, but she didn't dare to tell Mrs. Song what the vegetable merchant at the vegetable market said just now, so she bit the bullet and agreed to Mrs. Song's proposal, but she still couldn't help scolding her in her heart I'm so confused, it's not a little extra money, it's obviously a lot of money.

Three days later, on the day of the wedding in the Song residence, the food was prepared by Liu's restaurant.

The meals are also prepared in Liu's restaurant.

But when they were delivered to Song Zhai, the food was delivered in horse-drawn carriages. The horse-drawn carriages stopped at the entrance of Song Zhai. Big people can't get used to it, but many people look envious. Some people think it's lively and novel, and some people think that Song's house is rich.

After Lu Zhai heard about this, he didn't bother to find out the troubles of Erfaner's vegetable merchants, and booked [-] tables with Liu's restaurant without any hesitation, which was even more lively.

Both Lu's house and Liu's restaurant were very popular.

After this incident, Liu's restaurant was completely on fire.

Crowds of people came to Liu's restaurant to pre-order table noodles, a few of them wanted to eat in the store, and most of them wanted to be delivered to their homes.

Liu's restaurant has made a lot of money.

You Xuan also made a lot of hard money.

And Jiao'e Building and Yejia Jewelry Store sent invitations to Mu's residence almost every day, but You Xuan didn't go. To save face, don't go.

But except for these two stores.

There were more than a dozen shops that sent invitations almost at the same time, or the shopkeepers came to Mu's mansion in person, just to talk to You Xuan about business.

But You Xuan didn't agree.

Because there is no time.

Because Grandma Mu called the name, You Xuan was asked to be in charge of purchasing Mu's New Year's goods for this year.

Nobody helped him.

Because Grandma Mu is getting old, the mistress of the Miao family only cares about the things in the jewelry store, and after the incident with Aunt Feng, Grandma Mu doesn't believe in the character of Aunt Fen and others, and she refuses to accept it. Give them the affairs of the house.

And the young master and young wife of the Mu Mansion were on the way and didn't come back in time.

So this matter was handed over to You Xuan, who was still "leisurely" for the time being.

-

The shopkeeper Yaoxuan smiled happily and personally sent Mu Jue to the door.

You Xuan waited under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in front of the store. It was the end of the year, and the tree had no sweet-scented osmanthus for a long time, and now there were only snowflakes left. He waited a little carelessly, and when he heard the sound at the door, he looked up, "Busy Is it over?"

Mu Jue said yes.

After a while, he tilted his head to look at You Xuan who seemed a little unhappy, and asked, "What happened?"

You Xuan sighed with worry on his face, "Don't mention it, it's just about buying new year's goods."

The living ancestors who live in the west courtyard are picky, and the old ancestor who lives in the north courtyard is also picky and picky. The master who lives in the south is nothing, and promises to arrange for a troupe to come from the [-]th to the fifth day of the new year. Singing in the mansion is fine, the key is the young masters of the Mu Mansion who live in the east courtyard.

Buy this, buy that, buy this, buy this, add this...it's endless.

A lot of trouble.

They called out the New Year's goods that the mansion bought, and they couldn't remember them all in a booklet.

Chenji sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Lengzhou, jade pendants from Moon Jewelry Store in Huangcheng, lanterns from Wutong Town, and winter fruits from Yao County have to be shipped overnight. The altar is starting, and you don’t want the Hantan incense in those restaurants in Fenghuanghai City. You have to find the most authentic Hantan incense. There are authentic ones in Yaoxuan, but there are only twenty altars per year, and Mu’s family can only get two altars. ...

Mu Jue: "..."

Mu Jue took the booklet and glanced at it, frowning slightly.

You Xuan reached out to take the booklet back, handed it to Dahao casually, then grabbed Mu Jue's wrist, and said, "It doesn't matter, whatever they say, anyway, I'm in charge, I can use whatever I buy, at worst, don't call it next year. I buy new year's goods. Let's go, go back quickly."

"Yeah." Mu Jue took his hand.

You Xuan thought of something again, and asked every day, "How many articles have you written? How well have you written them?"

Mu Jue asked him, "Have you read it?"

You Xuan choked, and changed the subject: "I read the script you wrote, the new one, why did you write so slowly, and what's the plot behind it?"
