In just a short ten days, the whole of Tombal Mountain City was on fire. Every day, there was a group of people waiting at the gate to try their luck and see if they could get a cup of tea.
Wei Yi and Yun Chun, who were in charge of brewing tea, also won the support of a large number of people in a short period of time. Some people were even quarreling over which division's tea-brewing technique was the best. He did not expect that selling tea would make such a large profit. In just a short ten days, he had earned over ten thousand taels of silver. This was because the opening of the store restricted the number of people entering the Garden of Embroidery. Otherwise, he would have been able to earn even more.
More.
Mu Yunyao was currently in the teahouse looking through the newly delivered tea leaves. This batch of tea leaves was left to dry and fry according to her method, and every single leaf was especially meticulous, thus the aroma of the tea assailed her nose, making it extremely pleasing.
Jin Lan entered and reported, "Miss, Manager Qin is here."
"Send him in." Mu Yunyao said as she walked out to welcome him. Miss is polite."Supervisor Qin currently had a heart full of admiration for Mu Yunyao and had already written more than once to praise her. He kept urging her to become a father-in-law and urged her to beat the drums more often, encouraging her highness to bring the golden doll back as soon as possible."
"
"Isn't the account at the end of the month?" Because they had already set a 40/50 ratio between her and King Yue earlier, they did not settle their accounts until the end of the month. Seeing that Steward Qin had brought the accounts book over now, she could not help but feel surprised.
"Miss, quickly take a look. In just a short span of thirteen days, the Embroidery Garden has earned a net profit of 15, 000 silver taels!" Mu Yunyao took the account booklet and flipped through it, but she wasn't that surprised. Anyone who could afford to drink tea was a person with a small family fortune, so she didn't hold back when it came to pricing. The most expensive Herbal Tea Dew was sold for three taels of silver a pot.
To ordinary people, three taels of silver could allow a family of three to live for half a year, but to wealthy families, it was nothing more than a random reward.
Therefore, every guest who could enter the Garden of Embroidery to drink tea would have to spend at least four to five taels of silver each. As a result, the amount of money they could earn per month was within her expectations. Seeing Mu Yunyao's calm expression, Steward Qin was momentarily at a loss as to how to react. He had thought that she would be exceptionally surprised, but he was even calmer than himself, causing him to suddenly feel as if he had never seen the world before."Reading the account book for young lady is only a convenience.
How about we settle the accounts in half a month? "Since Fourth Master lives far away, it would be inconvenient to give away more money ..." "Alright, as long as the accounts are clear, we can do whatever we want with the accounts." Mu Yunyao's face didn't change, but many guesses flashed through her mind. Steward Qin shouldn't have said that for no reason at all. It was better to just exchange the silver for silver notes. There wasn't anything inconvenient about it. The only possibility was ...
It was because Yue Yang needed money, and it was because Yue Yang needed it extremely badly!
"I recalled something else and wanted to discuss it with Supervisor Qin."
"If you have anything to say, girl, just say it." When we make tea every day, many broken tea leaves are sifted out, those tea leaves are useless, they are not worth much silver, I just want to set up some tea stalls on some public roads and wharves, one person can pay a coin to drink tea, it's convenient for people, it's also possible to get some tea water
"Good reputation."
Manager Qin nodded."Lady is truly kind."
"Why not do all the little things you can do? But we have to be extra careful, there are people selling tea at many of the docks, too. We have to do good deeds, and we can't interfere with other people's business."
"Yeah, I'll get people to pay extra attention to it." Since he was doing a good deed, he might as well be careful and not attract the complaints of others.
Supervisor Qin's movements were quick. In just two short days, there were tea stalls in many places. A pot, a can of tea, a pile of black porcelain bowls, and a few tables and chairs. These simple decorations received praises from Mu Yunyao and Bu Fang.
Surprisingly, the tea stand set up on the pier attracted many customers to the restaurant. Those customers, who had witnessed the art of brewing tea in the restaurant, all went to talk to Supervisor Qin to buy tea leaves from him.
Steward Qin naturally had no reason to refuse. In just a short period of time, he had sold the tea leaves for nearly twenty thousand silver taels.
Yue Yang once again sent a letter to Mu Yunyao's hands. This time, the letter was even simpler and contained only two words: Relax.
Mu Yunyao looked at the two words on the letter that were as sharp as knives and couldn't help but sigh with emotion at King Yue's words. She had sent twenty thousand taels of silver but had only exchanged it for two words, at the same time she couldn't help but think of her previous guess. Could it be that King Fu really lacked silver taels? In her previous life, when she met King Yue, she had already become King Jin's concubine. At that time, the Emperor's health was not good, and he fought to the point of turning green in the eyes of all the princes. When King Fu returned to the capital, the Emperor was already too ill to go to court early, and even ordered King Fu to command the Imperial Guards.
Palace City.
As for King Jin and the rest, they were extremely wary of King Yue. Previously, his situation had indeed not been too good and he did not seem to exist within the imperial court. Whenever King Jin mentioned him, it would seem like he despised and ridiculed King Yue.
In any case, he already knew that after three years, he would be able to make a comeback. If his current situation was not good, he might as well help out a bit. He might even be able to obtain unexpected rewards.
When Steward Qin received Eunuch Cheng's reply, he was even more elated. He looked at Yu Yi who was standing at the side and said, "You said that Master received a letter from Lady Mu and directly said that he wanted to protect his own people?" Doesn't that mean that Master is interested in Lady Mu as well?
Yu Yi, who came to deliver the letter, couldn't help but carefully recall his own words: "I heard from Yu Heng that Mistress meant to protect her things. What you want to talk about should be the Nebula Pavilion, right?"
"Things are dead, but people are alive. Which one of these things is important? Master must definitely mean for us to properly protect Lady Mu! " Supervisor Qin glanced at Yu Yi. This person was the same as Yu Heng; his brain was dead.
Yu Yi took a careful look at Supervisor Qin's expression and felt that it would be better to not refute his words. He stiffly changed the topic: "Supervisor Qin, I think the business in the Garden of Embroidery is extremely good." That's right, it's all thanks to Miss Mu. When I first met Miss Mu, I already felt that she was extremely extraordinary. Mentioning Mu Yunyao, Supervisor Qin had a face full of smiles as he praised her, "You're not lucky enough to drink the tea personally brewed by Lady Mu. Wei Yi and Yun ...
Spring is still far away, back then ... " Yu Yi couldn't react in time. Before, when he saw Supervisor Qin, he had always kept asking about his master, but now he kept praising him. If he didn't know that he was loyal to his master, he would have suspected that Supervisor Qin had been bribed by someone else.
