Li Changan sat there for a while. Before leaving, Wang Ergou's wine had not been sold yet, so he was so angry that he had to lower the price.
When I got home, it was getting late.
My sister-in-law has been sitting at the door of the north room, looking like a quietly blooming water lily under the flickering light.
Li Changan's heart suddenly calmed down.
It seems that you have truly returned home when you see the person in front of you.
When Liu Zhiyin saw Li Changan coming in, a smile quietly bloomed on his face, and he hurriedly came to greet him, "Xiaolan Xiaofang and the others said that the candied haws of sugar sold well."
"Xiaolan's five bunches of candied haws were all bought by a scholar."
"Xiaofang's was surrounded by a group of children and sold out quickly."
…
When Liu Zhiyin spoke, his tone was relaxed, and even his steps became a little cheerful.
While talking, he took out his money bag,
"There are twenty strings in total. Each of them received ten cents. I received sixty cents. After deducting the cost, I still have forty cents."
"But there is still a lot of icing left, and we can continue to use it tomorrow. This is the most important cost. After conversion, we should earn fifty cents."
"If we sell them all ourselves, we can make ninety cents..."
Liu Zhiyin walked in front, turning his head from time to time with a clear smile on his face.
The voice is gentle and delicate, like a slowly flowing stream, calm and a little cheerful.
Li Changan smiled unconsciously, feeling satisfied and quiet inside.
"Zhang Ji Winery ordered fifty kilograms of wine from us today."
"The Lin's Tavern also ordered fifteen pounds."
"Wang Er is so angry that his mouth is twisted."
Liu Zhiyin's big eyes curved into crescents and looked at Li Changan, "I knew our wine would be able to sell."
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to teach you how to make sugar tonight, and then I'll deliver the wine and leave for the city tomorrow," Li Chang'an said.
"What are you doing out of the city? Your body hasn't recovered yet, so it's better not to run around." Liu Zhiyin asked worriedly.
Unknowingly, the distance between me and Li Changan got closer.
There is a light fragrance in the air, like jasmine, with a light and elegant fragrance.
As the lights flickered, Li Changan glanced at Liu Zhiyin's eyes and subconsciously moved to the side.
"We can't make much money just by selling candied haws, unless we mobilize a large number of people to help us sell them, but that's not realistic..."
"I have to make some other preparations."
"Erlang..." Liu Zhiyin started to speak but stopped.
Li Changan smiled and walked forward, "Come on, sister-in-law, I will teach you how to make sugar."
"We can sell more candied haws tomorrow."
…
A night without words,
Early the next morning,
Li Changan went out with a trolley to deliver wine.
Liu Zhiyin made sugar and wine at home.
The smoke from the kitchen is curling up, full of the smell of home.
First, I sent fifteen kilograms to Lin’s restaurant,
"Boss, if you get used to drinking this wine, you don't have to go to the wine market every day. I'll just come and deliver it every morning."
While the waiter in the store was loading wine, Li Changan said to Boss Lin with a smile.
"Your wine is pretty good..." Boss Lin nodded and didn't dwell too much on this matter.
Anyway, I use wine every day, so who should I buy it from?
The most important thing is that this wine is indeed better than other wines in the same price range.
"In this way, send me ten pounds every day."
"If anything changes, I'll let you know."
"Okay, thank you, Boss Lin." Li Changan accepted the money and continued to Zhangji Winery.
This time when I came to Zhangji Winery, the person who went out to collect the wine was not the waiter, but Boss Zhang.
"I remember your wine didn't taste like this before." Boss Zhang called Li Changan into the wine shop.
Li Changan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I changed the method of making wine, which is slightly better."
Boss Zhang grabbed a handful of iron broad beans for Li Changan and said, "Okay, it won't be easy for you either."
"As long as the quality of the wine can be guaranteed, I will buy all the wine from you in the future, and I will send you fifty kilograms every day."
"Thank you very much, Boss Zhang."
When Li Changan was about to push the cart and leave, Boss Zhang said one more sentence,
"You are a scholar, so you should hurry up and get a good name. Walking around the streets selling wine all day long is not a long-term solution after all."
Li Changan was startled for a moment, then he cupped his fists and saluted, and said seriously, "Thank you, Boss Zhang, for your advice."
Looking at Li Changan's back, Boss Zhang sat back at the counter, chewing iron broad beans, drinking some wine, and humming a tune.
After sending the cart and wine jar back, Li Changan rested for a while and then walked non-stop outside the city.
When I came back from outside the city, it was already afternoon,
Li Changan's face turned a little pale, and his legs began to feel weak.
Physical weakness cannot be recovered in a day or two.
When I got home, I found that my sister-in-law didn't look well.
Xiaolan and Xiaofang on the side also looked ashamed and annoyed.
The atmosphere in the small courtyard was very depressing.
"Sister-in-law, what happened?" Li Changan stepped forward and asked.
Liu Zhiyin looked a little gloomy and said softly, "Xiaolan and Xiaofang came here today to sell candied haws, but..."
Li Changan nodded and understood what Liu Zhiyin meant, "The other two sisters aren't coming, are they?"
Liu Zhiyin said nothing, and Xiaolan and Xiaofang were both embarrassed.
Li Changan didn't explain it clearly, but everyone knew it.
If they don't come, it means they have to do it themselves and don't want to pay any more.
"What's this? It's normal." To everyone's surprise, a smile appeared on Li Changan's face.
"Ah?" Liu Zhiyin looked at Li Chang'an blankly, his head a bit unresponsive.
Shouldn't you be angry?
Sugar-coated haws of sugar are so easy to sell, everyone can make money by sharing them.
But there are some people who have clearly made this money and still want to learn from it secretly, leaving everyone aside.
"Sister-in-law, we are not the only ones who can sell candied haws. My sister-in-law's two sisters must also have other reasons. What if it's because of family members?"
"I'm very happy that Sister Xiaolan and Sister Xiaofang can come here today."
The smile on Li Changan's face didn't look fake.
"We have so much candied haws on a stick today, we will definitely be able to sell them for a lot of money, don't worry."
As he said that, Li Changan also faced Xiaolan and Xiaofang,
"Chang'an is very grateful to the two sisters for coming today. We will still pay the price yesterday."
After saying that, Li Changan cupped his fists and saluted the two of them.
"Oh, no, no, no, it's right that we thank you and my friend for giving us this way to make money." Xiaolan waved her hands quickly, her face flushed with anxiety.
The four of them chatted for a while, and then Xiaolan and Xiaofang left holding sticks filled with candied haws.
"Erlang, I'm sorry..." Liu Zhiyin lowered his head sadly.
They were the sisters she brought back, but in just one day, they were separated because of the candied haws, which would also affect the family's business.
"What's the point? My sister-in-law." Li Changan said with a smile, "Even if your two sisters don't steal their lessons, there will definitely be others who do. It's just a matter of time."
"Just relax."
"Are you really okay?" Liu Zhiyin raised his head, his eyes filled with water, looking pitiful.
Li Changan's heart beat hard and he quickly looked elsewhere.
It’s really too much to bear.
This is my predecessor's sister-in-law.
What do you do to be so good-looking?
Li Changan said awkwardly, "Of course it's okay, how could I lie to my sister-in-law?"
"But Sister Xiaolan and Sister Xiaofang have helped us so much. We will definitely help them earn more in the future, and we can't let others down."
"Yeah." Liu Zhiyin lowered his head, and a layer of pink appeared on his earlobes.
