Just now Song Shu wanted to hit him.
If it wasn’t for young master Gu’s generosity of heart, he would have given him a hard time, and he wouldn’t have known what kind of trouble he would have caused for the family.
Song Shen grimaced aggressively, not daring to speak again.
Gu Yi sent Song Wan Yue to the door of his home, but did not dare to follow him in. After seeing Song Wan Yue enter the door, he immediately went back to the carriage and ordered the coachman to hurry home.
It was midday and there was no one on the road, so the coachman hurried quickly and soon returned home.
Gu Yi got off the carriage and waited for Xiao Si to come down carefully with the jar in his arms, he darted into the house, “Father, mother.”
Master Gu and Madam Gu thought he would be eating in the restaurant and didn’t wait for him, the two of them were eating in the dining room when they heard him shouting for his body, both of them put down their chopsticks at the same time.
Gu Yi pushed open the door and entered, quickly went to the table and sat down, happily showing off, “Father, mother, little girl made me herbal tea today.”
Master Gu and Madam Gu looked at each other, thinking the same thing in their hearts as the shopkeeper had thought at first, but both knew that their son had his heart set on that little girl, so they didn’t say anything else, and Master Gu asked smilingly, “Now you’re happy, aren’t you?”
“Happy, happy.”
Gu Yi nodded his head like a garlic, “The little girl even said that she would make me food just for me some day.”
Master Gu and Mrs Gu did not take it to heart, a little girl, who grew up in a farming family, what kind of food would she cook? But their mouths said, “Good, good, good.”
Xiao Si carried the jars in and carefully placed them on the table.
Master Gu and Madam Gu were unsure.
Gu Yi instructed the maid to get cups, “This is herbal tea, I’ll pour some for Father and Mother.”
The maid quickly brought the cups over and Gu Yi personally poured a small half cup for each of them, “Father and mother try it, is it good?”
Both of them did not want to brush off his kindness, so they each picked up the cup and took a small sip, the coolness with a sweet taste in the mouth, both of them were frozen for a moment.
“This is herbal tea?”
Mrs Gu asked incredulously, she thought it was that little girl fooling her son, but she didn’t want it to be the kind of tea that she thought was drying out cold.
“Yes, the little girl said that this herbal tea can not only kill the heat, but also remove the fire, and women can also drink it for beauty and skin care.”
Master Gu took another small sip, “There are herbs added to this?”
Gu Yi nodded his head, with honor, “Isn’t the little girl very clever?”
“A little indeed.”
“Not just a little, she asked the boss to give a free bowl to the customers in the restaurant, but you don’t know, those customers didn’t have enough to drink and were clamouring for it, the boss’s face was all smiles.”
“Really?”
“More than that, I asked her to sell it in the restaurant for free, but she didn’t agree, she insisted on giving us a 50/50 split, and set a price of 5 yuan a bowl, the income from this herbal tea alone will not be small in the future.”
Master Gu put down his cup.
He didn’t expect Song Wangyue to have such a brain.
A light flooded Gu Yi’s eyes, “Father, Mother, do you think I have a good eye and have fallen for her as my daughter-in-law at a glance?”
Mrs Gu lost her smile and stroked his head, “Yi’er does have a good eye, and Miss Song is not bad either.”
Gu Yi narrowed his eyes with a smile.
“Father, what do you say we make this herbal tea business bigger?”
……
After returning home and eating, Song Wangyue made herbal tea, the family did not have an ice cellar, so they took buckets of water to hold it like storing fruits and vegetables, and put it in the well to keep it cool.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
The family all took a small sip curiously, but he was the only one who finished it in one gulp and didn’t feel satisfied, so he poured another bowl full of it and drank it all.
Only then did Song Shen put the bowl down reluctantly.
“Yue’er, such a bowl of herbal tea costs five yuan, does anyone want to drink it?”
Song Wan Yue had already told them about selling herbal tea at the restaurant, if it was food, they would be very confident, after all, the people’s food is the sky, those rich lords and ladies would go over to try it even if it was rare, but although this herbal tea was good, it did not fill them up, not to mention a bowl, even drinking a jar would not be enough to eat a nest egg.
“How does father feel about this herbal tea?”
“It’s good, I want to have a second bowl after the first one.”
The rest of the group nodded and agreed, “It does taste good.”
“Those who can eat at a restaurant are rich people, they don’t care about five or ten wens, and they don’t go alone to a restaurant, at least three or four people, at least a few dozen wens at a table.”
Song Lin couldn’t believe it, “That much?”
“That’s how much, but this herbal tea only sells well in summer, after September it sells less.”
“That’s fine, we can sell it for two months, we can make a little more, so we can redeem the bracelet soon.”
“That’s what I think too, so from now on I will go to the restaurant every day to make herbal tea and come back at noon.”
“That’s no problem, father is idle at home, accompany you daily.”
Grandma Song also agreed, “Let your father accompany you, we are also at ease.”
……
Early the next morning, Gu Yi stood guard at the entrance of the village and was overjoyed to see the Song family’s ox cart coming over, opening his mouth to shout, “Little ……”
Just shouted a word, then saw Song Lin in the ox cart, the remaining two words stuck in his throat in fear.
Song Lin frowned unhappily, it was one thing to hear them say it, it was another to see it with your own eyes.
“Uncle, uncle ……”
Gu Yi stammered as he called out to someone.
Song Lin grunted through his nose and eyes, how he now felt Gu Yi did not look good.
Gu Yi completely lost his arrogance in disliking Song Shen and was respectful and careful, “Uncle, your legs are not good, you’d better go sit in the carriage, it’s covered with soft cushions and there are pastries.”
Song Lin wanted to refuse, but Song Wan Yue quietly tugged on his sleeve, the cow cart had coolies on it, and it was very hard to sit the six of them again.
“Alright.”
Song Lin changed his mind, Gu Yi’s face was happy and he came forward to help him, Song Lin pushed his hand away, “I can walk, I don’t need your help.”
Gu Yi didn’t feel embarrassed and immediately ran back to the carriage and lifted the curtain himself, “Uncle, take your time.”
“Horse’s ass.”
Song Shen muttered in a small voice.
Song Lin let Song Wangyue go up first, followed by himself, and sat down.
Gu Yi followed up and sat down in a regular manner, pushing the plates one by one in front of Song Lin, “Uncle, eat the pastries, they’ve just been made and are still warm.”
“I’ve already eaten, I’m not hungry.”
Gu Yi didn’t care about his attitude and pushed the plate containing lotus seed pastry towards Song Wan Yue, “Little girl, you eat.”
Song Wangyue picked up a piece and took a small bite.
Only then did Gu Yi look at Song Lin again, “Uncle, my father said that if the herbal tea sells well, we will join forces to make this business bigger.”
