Master Gu had already sent someone to wait at the entrance. As soon as the couple got off the carriage, the waiting boy ran in to report, and in just a moment, Master Gu greeted them from the courtyard.
Song Lin and Song San Xiao had not yet recovered from their shock, and when they saw Master Gu, they forgot to greet him for a moment.
Master Gu didn’t put on a show, and smilingly arched his hand to the two, “Please come inside.”
After all, Song Lin had been hunting for many years and had a good mental quality, so he came back to his senses and nodded towards Master Gu.
Just hearing that the Gu family was a big family, he thought it was also like other rich families, extravagant and flashy, but now it was not like that at all, from the gate to the door plaque, everything was noble and exquisite, low-key luxury.
“Uncle Gu.”
Song Wangyue called out to someone.
Master Gu smilingly answered, looking at her with a satisfied joy in his eyes.
Yesterday, after she had left, Gu Yi had taken pudding and jelly to show off for him and Madam Gu.
Looking at the rare and unseen snacks, the two of them became more and more satisfied with Song Wan Yue. If at first they went to the Gu family to propose marriage, it was because they couldn’t resist their son and had to go, now they were genuinely trying to settle the marriage for Gu Yi.
Master Gu took them to the parlour and just as they sat down, a row of maids walked in and placed various fruit plates and pastry plates on the small table beside several people.
The fruits were not only watermelons and peaches, but surprisingly, there were also grapes and a few fruits that Song Lin and Song San Xiao had not seen before.
Not to mention the pastries, they only knew two kinds, and they were still from the pastry box given by the Gu family when they thanked them.
The tea was also of good quality, and with the lid on, they could smell the unique aroma of the tea leaves.
Song San Xiao thought he had been in the county for so many years and had seen big scenes, but at this moment he was also nervous and didn’t know where to put his hands and feet.
Song Lin was the same, but he didn’t show it. Today, they are here to talk about cooperation, he can’t lose his momentum and bring shame to his daughter.
Opening his mouth, he went straight to the point, “Master Gu has any plans for the herbal tea so just say it.”
Master Gu could see their restraint and nervousness and smiled as he lifted the tea, “The day is hot, you have worked hard all the way back, have a cup of warm tea first to ease your mind before we talk.”
Today was a day to talk about cooperation, and he had to get the maximum benefit for his family, Song Lin had built himself up and did not shy away from tea.
If it were in the past, he would have drained it in one gulp, but in the past two days at the restaurant, he had been taught a lot by Gu Yi, intentionally or unintentionally. He picked up the tea lid and gently ruffled the tea leaves on it, waiting for them to be ruffled to one side before taking a small sip.
Song San Xiao followed suit, but the hand holding the tea lid was a bit shaky, and the lid touched the cup, making a slight sound.
Song Sanxiao regretted a little that he had drunk at lunch, if he hadn’t, his hand wouldn’t have had to shake and he wouldn’t have had to lose face.
It was as if Master Gu did not hear him, concentrating on his own tea.
Song Lin gave him a sideways glance between sips of his tea, and Song San Xiao’s hands immediately stopped shaking as he tilted his neck and drained his tea, with a few tea leaves dripping from the corners of his mouth.
Song Lin hated his iron.
Song Sanxiao also noticed that he had lost his temper, but the tea had already been drunk and could not be spat out, but the tea leaves he could retrieve, and quickly stuck out his tongue and rolled the tea leaves into his mouth.
Song Lin,……
So want to smash the tealight in his hand on his head.
Although Master Gu was drinking tea, the corner of his eyes swept the two men, suddenly saw Song San Xiao’s action, almost a mouthful of tea spurted out, he hurriedly swallowed it, withdrew his gaze, and drank his tea without looking away.
Only when the tea had reached the bottom did Elder Gu put it down, as if he hadn’t seen what had just happened, he said with a smile, “I plan to sell the herbal tea everywhere.”
Song Lin was a bit confused, how to sell it everywhere? It was hard to have someone push two jars around to sell it?
Master Gu saw his confusion and said, “I’ve had herbal tea and it’s really a good thing, especially on a hot summer day, it’s very refreshing. It would be a pity to sell such a good thing only in our county, so I thought of putting it in an altar and selling it everywhere, just like wine.”
“This, this ……”
Song Lin was too shocked to speak, he had never thought that herbal tea could be sold in this way.
“Uncle Gu and I were thinking of the same thing.”
Song Wangyue’s voice came from the side.
Song Lin and Song San Xiao looked at her at the same time.
“There are several kinds of wine, and there are also several kinds of herbal teas, what we are selling today is only one of them, we can adjust the taste according to the different needs of our customers, so the price will not be the same, as for the altar, it must be made into that exquisite kind, so that the price of our herbal tea can be doubled several times.”
This is Song Wangyue’s main purpose for selling herbal tea!
Even if she sold 200 bowls a day, it would only cost her 1,000 yuan, and after expenses, she would only get 300 or 400 yuan, which was not as much as she would get from selling herbal tea for a day.
Master Gu stroked his beard and looked at her approvingly, the smile on his face deepened, “Miss Song and I have thought of the same thing, such a good thing, we naturally want to make a lot of money with it, I have thought about it, the smallest altar is made into one catty, the largest is made into twenty catty, to meet the needs of different people.”
“Preferably of clay, it is best to hold herbal tea.”
Song Wangyue suggested.
Master Gu nodded, “Just make it into an earthenware jar, later I’ll have someone from the mansion draw some patterns out and bring them over tomorrow for you to see.”
“As for the place to make the herbal tea, I have an empty mansion over there that can be turned into a workshop, where are the people to do the work ……”
Master Gu wanted to say buy some dead deeded underlings back, before he could say it, Song San Xiao sharply interrupted him, “Our family is fine.”
The herbal tea is the key to their family’s great fortune, the process must not be learned, or their own family members are at ease.
Song Lin also nodded slightly in agreement.
Master Gu knew their mentality and did not insist, “Alright then, if you guys are too busy, I’ll buy someone else.”
“All the initial investment will have to be borne by Uncle Gu.”
Song Wangyue said.
“It’s nothing.”
Gu Yi, who had not spoken, spoke up, his eyes crystal bright as he looked at her, if he opened a workshop in his own house, he would be able to see his little girl every day in the future.
“I have plenty of pocket money, if you don’t want my father to bear the burden, I can lend it to you.”
Song Wangyue, ……
May I ask what is the difference between these two?
“There is.”
Gu Yi eerily read her mind, “My father’s money is his and you have to pay it back when you use it. My money is yours, you don’t have to pay it back.”
“Cough cough ……”
Elder Gu coughed a few times in a panic and smiled at Song Lin with him, “Mr. Song, don’t be offended, my younger son has never been this tongue-tied.”
