Within two days after Lu Zhi left, the craftsmen in the town rushed out a milk tea cup made of green bamboo.
There are a hundred of these ‘milk tea cups’ in two sizes, large and small. They are not only light in hand, but also very unique!
Later, Li Tannian asked someone to hang up the signboard of the milk tea shop and officially opened it.
To avoid being overwhelmed, she specially invited Zhao Susu to come to the store to help.
Zhao Susu was very happy. She had nothing to do at home on weekdays. She really didn't want to, but she could still make a living with Li Tannian. She felt indescribably satisfied, and she was naturally very diligent when working.
People in the town had never heard of milk tea at all. Fortunately, Li Tannian directly shouted out the slogan of buy one, get one free, and the first twenty customers every day were given free ice water!
Ice water is a rare thing, and even the wealthy squires in Qinghe County may not be able to afford it, let alone ordinary people. So, for this free ice water, a lot of customers came for a while.
Come.
The ice water is not just ice water, Li Tannian also added sugar to it, which makes the taste much better.
Those who grabbed the free ice water became repeat customers that day when they heard that ice water only cost two cents a cup, buy one get one free, and only cost one cent. In addition, they also brought many people they knew well to take care of the business.
When the sun gets brighter, Li Tannian's shop is even more crowded, and even with her and Zhao Susu, it's almost too busy.
This spread from ten to ten, and the news about the opening of an ice water shop in Zhongjie spread.
When Wu Qi heard about it, he just received the gift of nine thousand years old.
Wu Qi originally sent two baskets of grapes to Jiu Qian Sui just out of a try mentality. Unexpectedly, he actually caught up with Jiu Qian Sui. While he was so happy, he had no intention of reading and just kept silent.
Looking out the window.
Yuanyang laughed happily at the side: "Since Jiu Qiansui personally asked someone to return the gift, does it mean that we will no longer have to be suppressed by the Luo family soon, and in the future, the marriage between the eldest lady and the young master cousin can also be canceled
Already?"
When Wu Pingting was mentioned, a look of impatience appeared on Wu Qi's face. He and his sister had never been very close to each other.
Seeing that Wu Qi didn't reply, Yuanyang didn't say anything more. She silently placed the milk tea and a scroll in front of him: "Master, this is the woman who has been looking for Jiu Qian."
Wu Qi nodded, and just as he was about to get the little statue, he heard Yuanyang say: "Sir, do you want to drink ice water?"
Yuanyang paused, remembering that Wu Qi was feeling unwell, and quickly changed his words: "Let's drink milk tea. The newly opened milk tea shop on Zhong Street tastes very good. The most important thing is that the person who opened the shop is someone we know well.
"
Wu Qi has never heard of anyone selling ice water. After all, ice is a rare thing and is not easy to preserve. No one dares to do this business at the foot of the Imperial City, let alone a small place like Qingshi Town!
"Who?" He asked with difficulty.
At this moment, there was a sound of rolling wheels on the long street. Yuanyang covered her mouth and snickered: "This person is as far away as the horizon, but as close as you are right in front of you. Isn't it Mrs. Li!"
A look of surprise appeared on Wu Qi's dull face, and then there was novelty.
He looked intently at the shabby ox cart at the entrance of the restaurant. When Li Tannian, dressed in plain clothes and wearing a veil, stepped out of the ox cart, he couldn't help but chuckle.
It wasn't until he saw her directing people to unload the goods and enter the building that he stopped looking and tapped the table a few times with his index finger.
She surprised him more and more. She even dared to sell ice water? What other kind of business did she dare not do?
Yes, she is a woman who can grow grapes in Daqing, and ordinary ordinary people cannot compare to her.
The mandarin duck on the side looked at his second young master in astonishment, wondering for a moment if he had heard wrong just now!
She actually heard the second young master laugh!
The second young master has been ill since he was a child and has never liked to laugh, but although his laughter just now was soft, you could feel that he must be in an extremely happy mood.
It seems that the second young master is really happy now. Just be happy, be happy!
Accountant Wu quickly led Li Tannian up to order the goods. Wu Qi was very satisfied. After giving him the money,
But instead of giving money immediately as before, she pointed to the milk tea in front of her and said warmly: "Ms. Li must be thirsty too, please drink some tea."
Yuanyang glanced at his second young master in astonishment. The second young master has always been a very mysophobic person. He has never actively invited others to drink tea from his cup like this!
At first, the eldest lady just touched his cup a few times, and he had all the cups thrown away.
My master is now in love with the house and has a crush on Mrs. Li because of the grapes in the frame?
That's right, if the master of his family can really use his nine thousand years to do things in the future, Madam Li will be regarded as a great benefactor to the Wu family!
Li Tannian on the side didn't know so many things. Since Wu Qi didn't give him any money, she couldn't leave, so she simply took the tea cup and took a sip.
It’s still milk tea!
Li Tannian glanced at Wu Qi unexpectedly. This rich lady drank milk tea all day in the hot weather?
"Ms. Li, what do you want to say?" Wu Qi noticed her gaze and smiled slightly.
"This cup is very good. It looks like fine porcelain at first glance." Li Tannian pulled his lips and smiled.
"The best Ru kiln porcelain is not expensive, only three or four hundred taels."
The most indispensable thing for the Wu family is money. Wu Qi really didn't pay attention to such a cup. After hearing this, Li Tannian lowered his head and glanced at the extremely inconspicuous azure-glazed tea cup in front of him, and hurriedly
Put the tea cup back to its original position.
This small cup costs three to four hundred taels. The Wu family is really rich!
At this moment, she was not in the mood to drink milk tea anymore. If she really dropped this thing, she would die of pain!
Wu Qi saw her reaction in his eyes and couldn't help but smile again.
"Ms. Li thinks this milk tea is not as good as the milk tea you sell? But Wu doesn't know how Ms. Li gets the ice water?"
He asked sincerely, but Li Tannian did not reply immediately.
After all, the ability of saltpeter to make ice is the business opportunity in front of her. As a businessman, she has no reason to tell the people in front of her how to make money.
Wu Qi had been a businessman for many years and was very good at observing people's emotions. He only took one look at her and guessed what she was thinking.
Simply, he stopped being secretive, and immediately said openly: "Why don't I cooperate with Madam Li again? Madam Li will tell me the method of making ice. Our Wu family has a good way to make money, and we must make money."
I can make a lot of money by relying on this ice-making method. When the time comes, the money earned will be divided 50-50 with Mrs. Li!"
"Seriously?" Li Tannian's eyes lit up.
The Wu family is the richest man in Qinghe County, and they have a lot of money in their hands. If he gets the idea of making ice, he will definitely make a lot of money.
What's more, he also bought saltpeter from the other party... After a moment's hesitation, Li Tannian immediately responded: "Okay!"
Wu Qi immediately took a pen and paper and wrote a paper agreement with her. Li Tannian also took the opportunity to tell him about the method of making ice with saltpeter.
Wu Qi was dumbfounded when he heard this. He never thought that this was what she used the saltpeter for!
But he soon discovered something strange, and immediately frowned and asked: "Ms. Li, how do you know that saltpeter can make ice?"
As a woman, it would be difficult for him to come into contact with saltpeter, otherwise, she wouldn't have asked him to help buy it!
Li Tannian coughed dryly and said seriously: "Since it is a secret method, it is naturally a method passed down from family to family. It is not surprising for me to know."
Wu Qi nodded, it turned out to be a secret method passed down from his family.
He thought for a moment and then said: "Ms. Li, don't worry, I promise not to spread this method. As for the profit, how about we settle it every month?"
Li Tannian was extremely satisfied!
She had an intuition early on that she felt that this Miss Wu was indeed a good partner.
Now it seems that it is really true!
"Okay!" He agreed readily, and Li Tannian explained the specific steps to Wu Qi.
The two chatted happily. After she left, Wu Qi slowly picked up the small statue at hand and looked at it.
When his eyes glanced at the pair of autumn-filled eyes of the woman on the small portrait, he was stunned, and unexpectedly thought of the pair of eyes that were exposed outside the veil just now.
