"Hello, I heard that your store doesn't sell breakfast, right?" Zhao Ling'er asked.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" the foreman replied expressionlessly.
"That's it, can I sell breakfast at your place, which is spicy soup, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, etc. How about you take ten percent of the daily turnover?"
"Haha, you are quite good at business." The foreman smiled.
"Little girl, how much is your monthly turnover? It's only a hundred taels of silver at most, and one-tenth is only ten taels of silver." The foreman shook his head: "Little girl, ask elsewhere!"
The foreman stood up.
"Then how much turnover is required?" Zhao Ling'er asked.
"At least one thousand taels is enough! Oh, one thousand taels is our net income." The foreman raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Ling'er with a smile.
One thousand taels! Zhao Ling'er frowned: "No problem! Let's sign the contract now!"
"Ha! Are you serious?" The foreman became interested: "What if you can't pay a thousand taels?"
"If you can't pay, sell me to the inn and work as a waiter for the rest of my life!" Zhao Ling'er replied.
The foreman thought for a moment and looked at Zhao Ling'er: "Little girl, even if I sell you, it won't be worth a thousand taels of silver. However, since you are so confident, let's sign a contract. After one month, if you pay
For less than a thousand taels, how about working as a dishwasher in our Yingbin Building for the rest of your life?"
"No problem! Come on." Zhao Ling'er replied cheerfully.
Zhao Linger signed a total of two contracts with Yingbinlou.
The first is that Zhao Ling'er obtained the exclusive authorization to sell breakfast in Yingbin Building, with no restrictions on business categories. The time is from September 22 to October 22, the seventh year of Dali, from 0 a.m. to 10 a.m. Yes.
Use of venue, kitchen stove, Yingbin building cook is not included. Pay a deposit of 10 taels in advance and start the day after tomorrow.
The second one is about the breach of contract. If Zhao Ling'er cannot pay one thousand taels after one month, the two parties will sign an indefinite employment contract, and Zhao Ling'er will serve Yingbin Building as a dishwasher until her death.
"I will send the deposit this afternoon and sign it." Zhao Ling'er said to the foreman.
"Please!"
After leaving the Yingbin Building, Zhao Linger felt her blood boiling.
She looked at the contract in her hand. With the venue and the signboard of the Yingbin Building, it shouldn't be a problem to earn a thousand taels.
The most important thing now is to make ten taels of silver quickly.
"Car driver, let's go back to Junpeng Inn!"
Zhao Ling'er returned to the room, wrapped the already wrapped clothes in kraft paper, and then carefully picked it up and slowly got on the carriage: "Let's go to Mrs. Su's house."
The Su family's house is not far from the county government office. The big house in Sanjinyuan is majestic and majestic, and it looks like it belongs to a wealthy family.
"Please tell me that Zhao Ling'er, who sells spicy soup in Junpeng Inn, wants to see Mrs. Su. I have a unique treasure in the whole country for her to appreciate." Zhao Ling'er said to the boy in front of the door.
After a while, the boy came back.
"Follow me!" The boy waved to Zhao Linger.
Zhao Linger hurriedly turned around, returned to the carriage, held the clothes in her arms, and followed the young man slowly.
After passing through the hall, the waiter led her into a bifurcated path. On both sides of the path were gardens that connected the city. After crossing the path, she walked through a corridor and arrived at a living room.
"Miss Ling'er, you said there is a treasure you want me to see?" Mrs. Su walked out of the back room with a pleasant look on her face.
Zhao Ling'er took two steps forward and handed the clothes over, and a girl came over to catch them.
"Young lady, look at this treasure, do you like it?" Zhao Ling'er said with a smile.
Mrs. Su peeled off the oil paper layer by layer, and when she saw the pink top, she couldn't help but smile.
She took out her blouse, compared it with her body, and handed it to the maid. Then she took out her pleated skirt and looked at it carefully in the sun for a long time.
"This is indeed a treasure." She smiled and said to Zhao Ling'er: "I just don't know if the dress fits, and I have to ask a tailor to help me repair it!"
Zhao Ling'er smiled and said: "If you don't mind the trouble, you can try it now. If something doesn't fit, Ling'er will take it back and ask a tailor to change it."
"That's fine."
Mrs. Su took the clothes and went into the back room.
"Tea, please." A maid poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhao Ling'er.
"Thank you." Ling'er took the tea cup. The green tea soup exuded a refreshing fragrance. The tea was warm. Take a sip and it was really good tea! It was a bit astringent at first, but after tasting it, it was indeed extremely sweet.
After a while, Mrs. Su came out of the back room. She looked down at her clothes and said to Zhao Ling'er, "What a coincidence, this dress fits me just right. I'm not fat or thin, and the length is just right."
"Young Mistress, that means you are destined to have this dress! It was made by the embroiderer of Jinxiufang in Lijing City. I also begged her for many days to make this unique dress in the whole Li Dynasty! That day in Jun
When I saw you at Peng Inn, I felt that only you could match the temperament of this dress. When I saw it today, it was indeed true! You and this dress are a perfect match!"
Mrs. Su's smile became even brighter.
"Zhao Ling'er, the first time I saw you that day, I felt that you were not an ordinary person. You were able to stand alone at a young age. The calmness in your eyes was not something that a child of your age could have. Although you were wearing tattered clothes at the time,
But I think you little girl will be able to climb a high branch one day!"
"Thank you for the compliment, young lady!" Zhao Ling'er smiled slightly and continued: "Since young lady also thinks this dress is good, how much money does young lady think this dress is worth?"
Young Mistress Su looked left and right: "I think this dress costs at least ten taels of silver. This is the first time I've seen the style, and it's from the capital. It should be quite expensive."
