Shi Chunfen supported Chu Ling's arm to steady himself, and then his thoughts drifted back, and he smiled apologetically at him, "I didn't pay attention at the moment."
Chu Ling took the opportunity to get close to her and asked in a low voice: "Does your body still hurt?"
Shi Chunfen's brain dulled for a moment, and when he realized what he was doing, his face turned red, "No...I didn't."
Chu Ling looked at her suspiciously and felt relieved when he saw that her steps were normal and she didn't look like she was in pain, but he still couldn't help but warned: "If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me..."
Shi Chunfen wanted to cover his mouth. How could he say this in public?
So ungraceful!
Fortunately, Chu Ling didn't have time to say too much. The tea shop owner received the news and came out, "The eldest son and the eldest mistress, it's rare for you two to come here. The shop is really full of glory!"
Chu Ling withdrew his hand from Shi Chunfen, returned to his usual dignified and cold demeanor, and nodded lightly, "Well, I'll bring grandma to see Jiu Kuding."
The shopkeeper nodded in response and hurriedly welcomed them into the teahouse. There were not many guests in the teahouse at this time, but when everyone saw a pair of beautiful ladies walking in, they still couldn't help but poke their heads around to watch, especially after seeing Chu Ling clearly.
After looking at each other's faces, everyone's eyes widened, wishing they could stick their eyes on Chu Ling's body.
Chu Ling had long been accustomed to these glances, but he didn't care much about it. This was a bitter experience. It was the first time he saw such a scene. He followed Chu Ling and didn't even know where to move his hands and feet.
The shopkeeper was sensible and felt uncomfortable when he saw the equinox, so he immediately brought them into the inner hall, and ordered the waiters to lower the curtain to block the eyes from outside. Finally, he took out nine kuding and boiled them one by one for them to taste.
Without the eyes of outsiders looking at her, Shi Chunquin felt much more at ease. She followed Chu Ling's suggestion and tasted the taste of Jiu Kuding from one to nine. When she drank the ninth cup, even Chu Ling couldn't help it.
She frowned, but her face was calm, as if what was in her mouth was not a bitter taste, but the sweet spring in the mountains.
"How is it?" Chu Ling put down the cup and looked at Shi Chunquin's expression inquiringly.
Shi Chunfen smiled lightly and said: "Huating's Nine Bitterness is indeed worthy of its reputation."
This was a definite sign, and the shopkeeper next to him immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "The young lady can really endure hardships. Even our tea sellers may not be able to drink this ninth hardship, but you didn't react at all!"
Chu Ling also felt strange, "Aren't you afraid of bitter taste?"
Shi Chunfen shook his head, "I used to practice my taste when I was learning to cook. All the flavors in the world are just seasonings for me, and I won't feel any discomfort."
"That's it." Chu Ling understood and couldn't help but smile: "It is human nature to be afraid of hardship. If you can change your instinct for your own hobbies, it seems that it is most suitable to leave Jiu Kuding to you for development."
Shi Chunfen smiled shyly, but she was not as optimistic as he was. She thought about it and said frankly: "But I really have no business experience at all, and I am not good at words, so I may not be able to promote Jiu Kuding."
"You can learn it if you don't know." Chu Ling was not worried about this. "Just like when you first learned cooking, as long as you are interested, you can learn it sooner or later. But..." He looked into her eyes and asked, "Are you serious?
Are you interested? Or you just don’t want to disappoint me, so you reluctantly agreed?”
Shi Chunfen was startled, and lowered her eyes with a guilty conscience. She was not good at sociability, how could she be interested in something as public as doing business?
Seeing her reaction, Chu Ling understood in his heart, "If you really don't want to, I can help you push it away to your mother..."
"No, don't!" Shi Chunfen hurriedly stopped her. Her eyes met Chu Ling's interested eyes, and she couldn't help but lower her head in frustration. "It's true that I have no interest in doing business, but I do want to give it a try."
As Chu Ling said, the Chu family is a family of merchants. Sooner or later, she will have to learn to take care of business, unless she really wants to abdicate in favor of someone better, or become a hands-off shopkeeper like the head of Huating County, leaving all the things to Aunt Liu.
, but how can people like Aunt Liu be so easy to control? She asked herself that without the identity and ability of Huating County Princess, she could suppress an aunt who held great power for the rest of her life. Since she couldn't suppress her, she could only hold the power in her hands.
Only by holding it in your own hands can you be invincible.
She didn't know if she could do it, but if she didn't try, she would definitely not be able to do anything.
Chu Ling couldn't help but laugh when he heard her frank words, "Fortunately you still want to try, it's not hopeless."
Being stupid is not scary. What is scary is that people are stupid and have no ambition.
What's more, Chu Ling always felt in his heart that Shi Chunfen was not stupid, she just didn't find a suitable direction for her. This time Jiu Kuding was a good breakthrough.
Shi Chunfen lowered his head and said with a red face: "Then what should I do first?"
Chu Ling tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly: "First select a group of people from Huating and bring them back to Liuzhou to work as cattle pioneers. They must be honest, responsible and experienced, and then choose a smart shopkeeper, and you will have succeeded.
Most of it."
Shi Chunquin raised his head, his eyes full of doubts, "Is it that simple?"
Chu Ling smiled and nodded, "It's that simple."
Doing business is not difficult, nor is it easy. The most important thing about being a boss is not how good you are at business, nor how good your skills are, but what kind of talents you can recruit. If a shop is full of people
If you are good at doing business, then this shop is basically half the battle.
As for the remaining half, there are many things to pay attention to. It depends on the weather, the location, and whether a group of talents can be governed submissively.
Talents are talents if used well, but they are moths if used improperly. Strength and luck are both indispensable.
Of course, Chu Ling would not tell Shi Chunfen these things now, lest the courage she had just mustered up be frightened away again.
Shi Chunfen knew nothing about business, so naturally Chu Ling did whatever he said. When she heard what he said, she felt that doing business was not that difficult. Anyway, she was not going to be a clerk, but a boss. As long as the clerk was good,
Then can't she, the boss, just sit and collect the money?
She had a wonderful thought, but she didn't know that she had already boarded Chu Ling's pirate ship.
This boat seems big and stable enough, but once there is a storm, it is not up to her whether she can escape or not.
After coming out of the teahouse, Shi Chunfen felt that she had gained a lot of confidence and was in a much better mood. Chu Ling took the opportunity to ask the driver to drive the carriage to the largest restaurant in Huating, intending to take her to have a good meal and see Huating's restaurants.
night view.
During this process, Yu Atu remained silent and followed Shi Chunquin silently. She was not at all interested in going out to play. She was the first person who dared to show her face in front of her master, and people on the road kept looking at her.
She seemed to have been bullied by the Spring Equinox.
