Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 116
Living conditions and living environment are often objectively reflected in people.

Cui Panpan raised his head inadvertently, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the person in front of him.

The face is like a crown jade, high-spirited.

The two people in front of them looked about in their early twenties, as if they had just lost their childishness.With every gesture, he carries the majesty of an unformed aristocrat.

These two people are not common people, they are probably noble sons who came out to join in the fun.

At this time, Cui Panpan didn't notice that he also had a temperament in the eyes of others.

Cui Panpan's soul is also in his early twenties. Not long after graduating from university, he has experienced all kinds of devastation. He has gone through great storms and experienced the difference between life and death.But Cui Panpan is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and looks like a young girl in early spring.

This caused others to feel that Cui Panpan had a cute contrast in appearance and temperament when looking at him.

After all, Cui Panpan has experienced the baptism of idol stars in later generations, and he quickly calmed down.

"Sir, please sit down."

Han Wu and Gu Yan looked at each other, and sat down with a smile on their faces.

Cui Panpan did not treat these two people as special. He cooked and poured tea as before, and talked about the advantages of his own tea.

Gu Yan likes to drink tea on weekdays, but he prefers tea with a strong taste, and he will order his servants to add various seasonings to the tea soup.

At this moment, he looked at the light green tea in the nearly transparent white porcelain tea bowl, and smelled the faint tea fragrance in his nose, and then took a look at the beauty sitting in front of him, and suddenly felt that he was too vulgar before.

Han Wu's gaze first fell on the white porcelain bowl containing tea.He had seen porcelain before, but this was the first time he had seen such crystal clear porcelain, and he couldn't help being curious about the origin of the beauty in front of him.

Cui Panpan stretched out his hand, indicating that the temperature of the tea was just right for drinking.

Han Wu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, his eyes lit up again.

Gu Yan swallowed all the tea in one gulp, but felt that the taste was a bit bland.

"All these teas are made by the lady?" Gu Yan asked.

Cui Panpan nodded slightly: "The tea trees are grown by myself. I picked a batch before the spring rain and picked a batch after the rain, but the taste is not much different, so I didn't deliberately distinguish them."

"I'm a vulgar person, and I don't know that there are many things to pay attention to when tasting tea." Gu Yan blushed, and those who didn't know thought he had just drank wine. "Listening to the lady's words today is better than reading ten years of books."

Gu Yan's horse corpse comparison was too exaggerated, Cui Panpan almost couldn't hold back.

Gu Yan lost his composure.Han Wu glanced at him.Gu Yan was immediately alert and restrained himself.

Han Wu played with the teacup in his hand, and asked with great interest: "The tea set used in your store is extraordinary, I wonder what is the origin of the lady?

Cui Panpan glanced at Han Wu calmly: "The two young masters are well-dressed, but they came from the capital?"

Han Wu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was being impolite: "I'm being rude, I forgot to report my family name first. This is Han Wu, this is my good friend Gu Yan, who lives in Ruidu. I heard about the Kunlun grocery store in the capital, so I came here Look at the fun."

Cui Panpan cupped his hands: "I was born in the Cui family. I was originally from the state of Zheng. I moved to the state of Rui due to the chaos in the country."

"But the Cui family, the merchant's family of Zheng Guo?" Han Wu asked.

"Exactly." Cui Panpan replied.

Han Wu and Gu Yan looked at each other, both of them were surprised.They thought that Cui Panpan came from a famous family, but they didn't expect that it was the Cui family, a merchant from Zheng Guo.

Cui Panpan never thought of concealing his identity.This era is all about inheritance.Especially when doing business, showing that you are from a merchant family is a proof of your reputation.

Cui Panpan opened a grocery store to do business.You can't even dare to admit that you are from a merchant's family.

Cui Panpan glanced over Han Wu and Gu Yan, and had a panoramic view of their reactions.

Gu Yan was slightly disappointed amidst the surprise, the blush on his face faded.

Han Wu's gaze remained on Cui Panpan, and he seemed to be more curious.

Han Wu put down his teacup, looked at Cui Panpan curiously, and then asked: "I don't think a lady is like a merchant."

Cui Panpan poured tea again, still filling both teacups.

Cui Panpan asked Han Wu back: "Is there something that neglected the young master, so that the young master thinks that I don't look like a businessman?"

"I don't have that intention," Han Wu picked up the teacup and rubbed it again. "A lady has an elegant temperament, without the smell of copper from a businessman."

Cui Panpan couldn't help chuckling: "Young master is very observant, I admire you. In fact, the Kunlun Grocery Store has another owner, and I'm just a storekeeper."

Gu Yan frowned: "Who is the owner of this store? Could it be that he is also a nobleman from the capital?"

Cui Panpan glanced at Gu Yan and said, "No, the owner of this shop is a girl from Kunlun Mountain who was appointed by Emperor Zhou."

Gu Yan looked at Han Wu with a confused face.Han Wu silently shook his head.Neither of them had heard of this Kunlun Mountain girl.

"Dare to ask my lady, who is this Kunlun Mountain girl?" Han Wu asked.

Cui Panpan pondered for a moment and said, "The girl from Kunlun Mountain came from Little Kunlun Mountain and traveled all over the world. She saw the suffering of the people and healed them. She helped refugees along the way, and she lived in Laiqi Mountain temporarily not long ago."

"What is the relationship between Lady Cui and Kunlun Mountain Girl?" Han Wu asked.

Cui Panpan said: "I was in trouble with Zheng Guo, and was saved by Shannv. Follow Shannv and come here."

"So that's how it is," Han Wudao said, "I wonder if we are lucky enough to see the true face of Shan Nu?"

Cui Panpan looked at Han Wu, then at Gu Yan, and said, "You need to ask Shannv first about this matter. If you two are not in a hurry, you can go back to the mountain and ask Shannv after I am busy opening a new store."

Gu Yan seemed a little disapproving.

Han Wu said with a smile: "No hurry, I'm sorry, my lady will remember this."

Cui Panpan nodded, thinking in his heart, "You two dudes, after a while, you probably won't be interested."

Han Wu asked again: "How do you sell my lady's green tea?"

Cui Panpan's eyes lit up: "One tael, fifty dollars. How much does the young master need?" He thought these two people would not buy it.

Han Wu glanced at Gu Yan, who silently shook his head.

"Then let's do one or two first," Han Wu said.

Cui Panpan was a little disappointed again, thinking that this kind of nobleman would be more generous.

Cui Panpan weighed a tael of clear tea, wrapped it in linen cloth and tied it with a fine hemp rope, and handed it to Han Wu.

Han Wu didn't pick it up, but said, "I wonder if your store might stock tea?"

"Store tea?" Cui Panpan didn't understand what Han Wu meant.

Han Wu explained: "For example, in a restaurant, you can buy wine and store it in the restaurant, and take it out every time you go."

"Sir, do you want to store the tea in the store?"

"My lady is exquisite in making tea. I am afraid that the servants at home will spoil the good tea. Keep the tea here with my lady. I will come to taste my lady's craftsmanship when I am free."

Cui Panpan understood.This is an after-sales selling point, but it is more troublesome.

Cui Panpan hesitated for a while before agreeing: "The new store is open, and there are many people coming and going, which may cause inconvenience to the young master."

Han Wudao: "After the one-month period is over, I will come to bother my lady again."

Cui Panpan was about to say a few more words when he heard applause coming from the window behind him.

All three people in the tearoom on the second floor were curious, so they got up and went to the window to look down.

It turned out that a thousand-character bamboo stick finally appeared in the lottery downstairs. After more than 20 days, this thousand-character lottery has finally been honored.

The thousand-character signature will be honored on the spot.Needless to say how lively it is below.

Cui Panpan watched from above, but quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Honesty is the most important thing for a businessman.Cui Panpan arranged for all signatures to be cashed on the spot, just to subtly let people recognize the reputation of the grocery store.

As the day progresses, people's expectations for the thousand-character signature will increase.That's naturally a boon for grocery stores.But if the thousand-character signature has not been drawn out, it is inevitable that some people will doubt whether the store has tampered with the signature.

Once doubt begins, it is difficult to completely eradicate.Even if the shopkeeper took out all the signatures in the stone jar on the spot afterwards, it would not be able to fundamentally wash away the reputation.

Cui Panpan didn't tamper with the signature, and he didn't want to be suspected.So from the middle of the event, she was looking forward to someone drawing a thousand-character lottery.In order to deepen the recognition of Kunlun grocery store in people's hearts.

To be reasonable, there are a total of [-] bamboo sticks, [-] of which are removed every day, and after a month and a half, the winning rate of the thousand-character lottery is already very high.If no one wins the lottery all the time, Cui Panpan himself will doubt whether there is the thousand-character lottery in the stone jar.

Just when Cui Panpan breathed a sigh of relief, Han Wu happened to glance at her, and caught her little expression in his eyes.The corner of Han Wu's mouth hooked slightly.

Gu Yan looked under the window for a while, and after understanding the situation, he also turned to look at Cui Panpan.Cui Panpan happened to be facing him sideways, and Gu Yan's eyes were filled with her profile.Gu Yan only felt that his heartbeat seemed to slow down a beat.

The excitement downstairs is over.Today's fifty lottery is also over.

Cui Panpan sent away Han Wu and He Guyan.

The shop will not close immediately, but will stay open until dusk.But then there will be fewer customers in the store, and the guys will not be so busy.

At this time, the guys can start to take stock of the goods.Cui Panpan asked to take inventory of the goods before closing the store every day and record them on the bamboo slips.Due to the variety of goods, more than a dozen bamboo slips are used each time.

At this time, Cui Panpan misses paper very much.Paper is much more convenient than bamboo slips.

Cui Panpan and Lin Xiaoxiao once had the following conversation.

Cui Panpan: "Do you know how to make paper in ancient ways?"

"No," Lin Xiaoxiao said regretfully, "I saw the introduction on TV, it was very complicated and troublesome, and I didn't remember it at all."

Cui Panpan: "Me too, I have a little impression, but it's useless. Hey, the four great inventions of our ancestors, the two of us didn't know how to come from later generations, we are really ashamed of our ancestors."

There are some papers in Lin Xiaoxiao's warehouse, but both of them are reluctant to use them.

After the stocktaking was over, Cui Panpan locked the store door and went to the backyard with the guys.

Cui Panpan found Amu who was feeding the horse.In order to facilitate Cui Panpan's trip, Lin Xiaoxiao gave her the carriage that Anan had given her.Amu is good at feeding horses, so the car was handed over to him.

Speaking of Amu, he is now Cui Panpan's driver and the guard of the grocery store.Because Rui's folk style is simple and simple, Amu has only performed the duties of a coachman so far.

"Amu, let's go back to the mountain."

Taking advantage of Amu's time to harness the carriage, Cui Panpan made a good confession with the guys.If she came back late tomorrow, the grocery store would still be open as usual.

Amu was very reticent and hardly spoke along the way.On the contrary, when Cui Panpan sees something new on the road, he always chatters a few words.

The two-horse car was fast, and it took less than half an hour to arrive at Laiqi Mountain.At this time, it happened that the sky was just getting dark, and we could still have a dinner in the village.

Amu had his own residence on the mountain, and after seeing off Cui Panpan, he led the carriage back to his residence.

Cui Panpan rushed into Lin Xiaoxiao's yard, but when he saw Lin Xiaoxiao talking to Kong Ci, he immediately restrained himself.

Lin Xiaoxiao gave Cui Panpan a pair of white eyes, and asked, "Why are you back? Have you eaten yet?"

Cui Panpan shook his head.

"I just finished eating, you go home to eat first."

"Where's Mrs. Jiang?"

"She went to your house to talk to Chun'er."

Now on the mountain, Lin Xiaoxiao still lives alone at the highest point, only Aunt Jiang lives with her.Below her are Cui Panpan, Chun'er, and the village chief's family.The next step is to choose at will.

At first Cui Panpan and Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to live together, but soon they found that the villagers had objections.Kong Ci even came forward to persuade Cui Panpan.

The two of them finally understood that some taboos in this era cannot be avoided.Although the villagers also respect Cui Panpan, she still cannot be compared with Lin Xiaoxiao.

Respecting the wishes of the villagers, they lived separately.

Cui Panpan glanced at Kong Ci, and obediently went back to his home.

After Cui Panpan left, Lin Xiaoxiao continued the conversation with Kong Ci.

Some time ago, Kong Ci and Ah Wu went to the capital of the Song Kingdom to find out the details of Hua Feng.

"Hua Feng killed his wife and son?"

"How is the official sea-catching document written?"

"Then you must tell Cui Zi about this, she often goes in and out with Amu, it's too dangerous."

"Shannv, can this matter be delayed for a while?"

"why?"

"Hua Feng murdered for a reason. His wife had an affair with his biological father, and his son is not his. No man in the world can endure such humiliation."

"Although the incident happened for a reason and his feelings are sympathetic, but this man is cruel and merciless, but he is not suitable to be a guard by Cui Zi's side."

"I think Amu is different from the rumored Hua Feng. Can you give him a chance to correct his evil ways?"

After meeting Cui Panpan, Amu behaved well before and never did anything bad again.If he can keep himself safe and follow Cui Panpan like this all the time, it might be the salvation of his life.

"I understand what you mean, but you can't put Cui Zi in danger. If one day Amu violently hurts someone, Cui Zi has no power to fight back."

Kong Ci thought for a while and said, "Why don't you send my father and mother to Cui Zi. His husband and wife are very skilled in martial arts, together they can suppress Ah Mu."

Lin Xiaoxiao agreed.

So, when Cui Panpan came back from dinner, Lin Xiaoxiao first told her about the arrangement.

"You are the shopkeeper of the grocery store now, and you have to be accompanied by someone. I will teach my father-in-law and his wife to follow you down the mountain, and I will let my mother-in-law accompany you in the future."

"How about letting Chun'er follow me?"

Cui Panpan went down the mountain to open a shop, but Chun'er was not allowed to follow.Because Lin Xiaoxiao was going to open a school on the mountain, Cui Panpan hoped that Chun'er would learn some knowledge along with her.

"Chun'er can't, she's too stupid to help you at critical moments. Besides, Chun'er is too straightforward, and it's easy to offend people by following you. We're new here, so it's better to keep a low profile. The school has been built and classes will start in a few days. "

"OK then."
