Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 117 Come Again
"Han Wu? Gu Yan? Are there any records of these two people in history?"

"I have no impression, it must not be an important person."

"That doesn't matter. If it's a bad guy, I'll behead him."

"Then you mean not to hide it?"

Before, considering that she might go to Qin State in the future, Lin Xiaoxiao decided to keep a low profile in Rui State. She didn't want to attract too much attention, so she didn't publicize her identity as a mountain girl.

However, Cui Panpan opened a grocery store in Chongyifang, so he had to have a backer behind him, and the only one they could offer was the Kunlun Mountain girl.

"There is no need to deliberately publicize, and there is no need to hide it when someone asks."

"Since you don't hide anything, do you want to consider free consultation in Chongyifang? Didn't you consume a lot of points? Chongyifang is a good place to collect points."

Lin Xiaoxiao now has more than 5000 points and more than 9000 reputation.Compared with the points, she wants to brush up the reputation to [-], to see if the system will activate new functions.She has been looking forward to new features for a long time.

"Then let's do the free clinic. On the first and fifteenth day of each month, there are two free clinics."

"Then I'll let the store let the wind out when I go back. Also, if Han Wu and Gu Yan ask to see you again, will you see me?"

"See, I'm not lying, I'll see you in a fair manner."

Cui Panpan understood Lin Xiaoxiao's thoughts, and returned to Chongyifang the next day.

There were two more people in the store, A Numu and A Nufu.

The mother-in-law is Cui Panpan's attendant, wherever Cui Panpan is, she will be there.Originally, this position belonged to Chun'er.Chun'er was going to study now, her attention was diverted, and she didn't even realize that her job had been taken away by others.

A father-in-law was arranged in the town hall on the second floor.The tea room and study room on the second floor are private rooms, and guests should be prevented from frolicking and making trouble.

After such an arrangement, the daily work scope of A's father and Amu did not overlap.Amu's daily job is to raise horses.It's just that when Cui Panpan travels, A Nufu and A Mu will follow.

Facts have proved that two more people should be.

As the reputation of Kunlun grocery store faded, Cui Panpan's name became well known.Because she sits in the tea tasting room herself, many guests recognize her.

As a result, Cui Panpan was often recognized when he went out.If it weren't for the three guards who seemed not to be messed with, Cui Panpan would have suffered a lot of harassment.

Fortunately, the idea of ​​"women are not allowed to show their faces" was not prevalent in this era, and people had no resistance to women running shops.

The thousand-character lottery had already been drawn, and the news that it had been honored on the spot spread wildly again in Chongyifang.The popularity of Kunlun Grocery Store has reached another level, and it is almost a household name.

Although the biggest expectation is gone, there are still dozens of crosses in the stone jar, so there are still many people queuing up at the grocery store to draw the lottery, but it is a little less than before.

These are to be expected.

A month passed quickly.

At the end of the month, Cui Panpan made a summary.

Needless to say, the sales of green tea and book slips are not many, but the profit is high.The sales volume of daily groceries was not bad, better than Lin Xiaoxiao expected, but it did not meet Cui Panpan's expectations.

"The supermarket model is full of varieties, one-stop shopping. Why is it not selling well?" Cui Panpan has not yet figured it out.

Lin Xiaoxiao has worked at the grassroots level, so she understands it quite well: "One-stop shopping is more suitable for retail. In terms of retail, this month's performance is quite good."

"But our performance is less than half of that of the neighbor next door." Cui Panpan said dejectedly.

"They are wholesalers, and a single order is worth ten days of retail sales." Lin Xiaoxiao said.

Cui Panpan Angtian sighed: "You are right, the things we sell are too complicated. The merchants think we are unprofessional and don't trust our quality."

"That's not true," Lin Xiaoxiao expressed her thoughts, "As far as I know, most of the merchants who come and go have clear purchasing goals and long-term cooperative stores, and generally they will not temporarily change supply stores. Get out, and the next step is to build a reputation."

"Your words comforted me." Cui Panpan's eyes were lost, which showed that the blow was a bit heavy for her.

The main reason is that the lottery held by Cui Panpan was very successful, and I thought there would be a good harvest.

The cash cost of the event was 2000 yuan, but the net profit in this month was only more than [-] yuan.This is not counting other costs and investments. Cui Panpan feels that the blow is a bit big, and he even doubts that the grocery store may not be able to make a profit for a year.

Lin Xiaoxiao added: "Are you going to continue to do retail in the future, or do you choose a few good ones for wholesale?"

Cui Panpan thought for a while: "The shop has only just started, and it will take some time to see how it works. I won't move for now, and I will do it for three months."

"Three months? It's autumn now, and winter will be three months later. You have to consider stocking up on winter goods now."

Cui Panpan blinked, she really didn't think about the matching of goods and seasons.She studied the history of ancient literature in the past, and remembers a lot of history and documents, but it is actually the first time to do business.

Lin Xiaoxiao works at the grassroots level, so she has some understanding of the economy and people's livelihood at the grassroots level, and has some general ideas.

"One of our selling points is charcoal. The villagers are getting better and better at making charcoal, and they can even burn silver frost charcoal. You can stock up and sell some, and add some income to the villagers. There are also dried sweet potatoes and kimchi. , and roasted nuts.

I see that shops here rarely sell them, especially kimchi.There are few fresh vegetables in winter, and our traditional kimchi is sour, crisp and refreshing. It is estimated that it will sell well in winter. "

Cui Panpan's eyes lit up: "Yes, why didn't I expect that I can make wine, ah, I can only make wine, do you have grapes?"

"I've never seen grapes," Lin Xiaoxiao said, "Forget about the wine. In this era, noble families brewed their own wine, but ordinary people couldn't afford it, so the business of selling wine was not easy."

"That's right, it's no wonder that there's no store selling liquor in Chongyifang, but restaurants and Maodians all have their own brews. Oh, what a pity, if we two master the technology of brewing good liquor and create a brand, Let the restaurants and Maodians buy wine from us."

"Then we have to be careful with our lives. Once the business is profitable, it will only be eaten by the upper-class nobles without a backer."

Cui Panpan gritted his teeth: "I want to stock up on kimchi and charcoal, and I must make a lot of money in winter, and earn back the investment money for opening the store."

"Go back to the village and talk to the village chief yourself, and ask the villagers to help you do it, and I won't get involved."

After a while, Lin Xiaoxiao said again: "Remember to help me harvest the medicinal materials. This is the bill and money. Don't mix this money with the investment in the store. This is my personal money for collecting medicinal materials, not for the store."

Cui Panpan took the bill and the money, put it away and said, "It's a miracle that you don't get empty out of your medicine-giving free clinic."

"Hey, I'm also quite emotional. People in this era are really simple. Although I said it's a free clinic, the patients will bring some things to me more or less. It's really not a loss to fill in the left and right."

Leaving aside how Cui Panpan sourced goods for the grocery store, Han Wu and Gu Yan visited again on the third day after the opening event was cancelled, but unfortunately Cui Panpan was not there.

The clerk led the two of them to the tea tasting room on the second floor, took out the clear tea that Han Wu had left in the store, and was about to make tea for them, but was stopped by Gu Yan.

"I'll be fine." Gu Yan said.

The man stood at the door with his head bowed, looking a little nervous.

Han Wu asked the clerk: "I didn't take a closer look when I came here last time. Is the study next to it a study or a bookstore?"

The clerk replied: "It is not only a study, but also a bookstore."

Han Wurao got up interested, and followed the buddy to the study next door.

"Guests can read books in the store, and it only costs one yuan for a quarter of an hour," the clerk opened the door to let Han Wu in. "Guests can also buy back the books they like, and each letter only costs ten dollars."

"Oh? Can you just buy it?" Han Wu took a slip from the bookshelf, "Could it be that these slips are all inscribed, not the original version?"

"Yes, the original version is at the owner's place. These are all recorded, and customers can take them away after buying them, saving the time of copying."

Han Wu found an annals introducing Hua Country, and bought it directly for ten dollars.

Taking Han Wu back to the tea room with Fengwu Zhi, Gu Yan was still making tea.

Seeing Han Wu coming back with something, Gu Yan asked, "Where did you get the bamboo slips?"

"I bought it from the study next door," Han Wu waved the slip in his hand, "Wan Guo Feng Wu Zhi, ten dollars."

"So cheap?" Gu Yan was surprised.

"More than that, if you can't afford it, you can also read it in the study for only one penny for a quarter of an hour." Han Wu's tone was a little subtle.

Gu Yan squinted his eyes and asked the clerk, "When will your shopkeeper come back?"

"Generally speaking, the shopkeeper will come back during Shenshi."

Han Wu nodded: "We are waiting for her here, you go down first."

The buddy resigned as promised.After a while, he brought up four more dishes of fruit.

Only Han Wu and Gu Yan were left in the tea room.

Steam was gurgling from the tea pot, but Gu Yan seemed to be distracted and didn't respond. Han Wu could only remind him aloud.

"The water is boiled, and it will be over after boiling."

Gu Yan was awakened, his hands were moving, but his eyes were fixed on the letter in Han Wu's hand.

"How many slips are there in the study next door?" Gu Yan asked.

"I roughly counted, and there are less than two hundred, and many of them are complete sets." Han Wu said.

"Could it be that Kunlun Mountain girl's handwriting?"

"The original copy of the slips is in the owner's hands, presumably it's the girl from Kunlun Mountain."

"Selling the slips so generously and at such a low price, people can only read them but not buy them. Even Xuegong Academy can't be so open."

"Of course. I am looking forward to meeting that Kunlun Mountain girl."

Gu Yan teased: "Don't you miss that tea lady? I thought you were looking forward to meeting her."

The tea lady is Cui Panpan.Although they knew her surname was Cui, they often called her Tea Lady in private.

"Don't you miss that tea lady?" Han Wu retorted.

"I was thinking about her tea," Gu Yan raised his eyebrows, "I brought money this time."

"How much do you plan to buy?" Han Wu said with a smile, "Could it be that you want to imitate me and store tea here, so that you can have an excuse to come here to taste tea from time to time?"

"Hey, that's what you said, thank you for pointing it out." Gu Yan put on a show and cupped his hands.

Han Wu suddenly asked sternly: "I teach you to send people to Hua and Zheng to inquire, but they haven't come back yet?"

Gu Yan picked up the pot and poured tea, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "I haven't come back yet."

Han Wu said thoughtfully: "It is expected that both Huaguo and Zhengguo are not peaceful. South Korea is eyeing Huaguo. A drought almost wiped out Huaguo. Let's see if Huaguo can survive this winter. Three monarchs have been changed in a row during the year. The surrounding countries are probably about to move."

Gu Yan glanced at Han Wu and said, "Why aren't we?"

Han Wu smiled slyly: "Are you worried about the battle between Qin and Wei?"

"Of course it is," Gu Yan sighed, "Qin wants to attack Wei, and although Wei is not weak, he might not be Qin's opponent. If Rui is caught between the two countries, it will be a catastrophe."

Han Wu suddenly said in a low voice: "There is no need to worry about this matter. I have already figured out a countermeasure. I sent someone to send it to Lord Wei. If my prediction is correct, Qin soldiers can retreat within half a month at most."

Gu Yan was startled, and asked, "What countermeasure did you come up with?"

Han Wu smiled mysteriously: "When Qin Bing retreats, we will see for ourselves."

Gu Yan stared at Han Wu for a while, then poured tea for him.Han Wu picked up the letter and flipped through it with interest.

When Cui Panpan came back, he could hear the silence in the tea room.

She went to another shop this afternoon to order some vegetables, and planned to send them to the mountain tomorrow for the villagers to make pickles. When she came back, she heard from the staff that the two sons of Ruidu had come again.

Cui Panpan stepped a little harder and came to the door of the tea room.

Gu Yan heard her footsteps, while Han Wu was immersed in the letter.

"But Mrs. Cui is here?" Gu Yan reminded.

Han Wu was startled awake, quickly put down the letter and looked outside the door.

Cui Panpan raised the curtain and walked in.

She went out on foot today, and walked faster when she came back, and went upstairs as soon as she came back, so she still carried a trace of heat from exercise.

After exercising, people always look more energetic and energetic. Even the sweat on the forehead can make people look refreshed.

Qiaoxiaoqianxi, beautiful eyes look forward to Xi.

Han Wu saw Cui Panpan's eyes, as if he was caught in them and couldn't extricate himself.However, he still had self-control, and he returned to normal after just shaking his head.

Instead, Gu Yan looked at Cui Panpan's face, his eyes fell on the blush on her cheeks, and he couldn't move his eyes away for a long time.

Cui Panpan realized that he seemed a little rude.However, Confucius' ideas have not yet become popular in the world, and even a little disrespect is excusable.

Cui Panpan straightened his sleeves and saluted the two seriously.After she straightened her face, she still had a bit of momentum.

Han Wu stood up and returned the salute.Gu Yan also reacted.

Cui Panpan glanced at the teacup on the table: "Have you two tasted tea?"

Han Wudao: "There is another matter here today. The two of us have admired Kunlun Mountain Girl for a long time. I don't know if Mountain Girl has time to meet."

Cui Panpan tilted his head and looked at Han Wu: "Where do you want to meet her? In the store, on the mountain, or in the capital?"

"This..." Han Wu and Gu Yan looked at each other.

Neither the store nor the mountain is suitable, and it seems to be neglecting Shannv.Moreover, these two places are Shannv's territory, Han Wu and Gu Yan have some scruples in their hearts.

Han Wu pondered for a while and said, "I don't know if it is convenient for Shannv to move to the capital? We want to host a banquet in the capital restaurant to entertain Shannv."
