Chapter 118 Delivery
As soon as the ox cart stopped, the waiter Gong Qi came over and said with a smile: "Miss, we have been waiting for you for a long time, please come in."
"Hey buddy, it seems like your business is good recently, otherwise you wouldn't be in such a hurry!" Qin Huiyin got off the ox cart first, and the others followed.
"Haha, thanks to the girl's method, we have more and more returning customers now. I used to feel sick of eating just one, but with the dough and the side dishes, I ended up ordering two."
After everyone got off the bus, the waiter shouted inside, and immediately more than twenty waiters appeared and carried in the sauce in baskets.
Seeing that the food was packed in pottery jars, Gong Qi was surprised and said, "Girl, these pottery jars are not cheap. You are really losing money!"
"Of course I won't do business at a loss! I came here this time to sign a supplementary contract with your boss. I want to recycle these pottery jars. Next time I deliver the goods, I will take them back. If there is one missing, you must compensate me with twenty coins. The reason I use pottery jars is that they are less likely to spill and are more convenient to use. If you think it is unnecessary, I will use bamboo buckets next time. Of course, the pottery jars I sent this time must still be recycled."
"The young lady's request is very reasonable, I think it's feasible. The boss is waiting inside, if the young lady has anything else to discuss, you can go in and discuss it with him. Everyone, please come in and have some tea."
Li Taohua looked around the roast duck restaurant and said to Tang Dafu next to her, "The owner of this restaurant is quite generous, and the waiters are also very considerate. No wonder their business is so good."
Mr. Tang San said, "He's no ordinary clerk. The boss is his uncle. He does the work of a clerk, but holds the power of a shopkeeper."
"No wonder this young man has such handsome features and behaves so gracefully and appropriately." Li Taohua praised.
Qin Huiyin met with the boss and discussed what had just happened. After the two signed the supplementary contract, the boss warmly invited them to have breakfast, but Qin Huiyin declined.
After Qin Huiyin received the final payment, she also received the deposit for the next order.
The crowd then rushed to the market and set up their stalls. As soon as they set up the stalls, customers immediately flocked to them.
"You guys are a little late again today. I thought you wouldn't come. I'm a little sad!" said an aunt. "I'm used to eating at your restaurant. Others don't taste good anymore."
"If that's what you say, Auntie, then I'll have to put more sauce on you." Li Taohua leaned closer and said in a low voice, "We sell this sauce to others for fifty cents a bottle!"
The auntie smiled from ear to ear and kept saying thank you.
It's busiest in the morning, but becomes quieter after that time.
Seeing that there were no more customers, Qin Huiyin said to Li Taohua, "Mom, I want to send the seasoning sauce to my eldest brother."
"Go ahead!" said Li Taohua.
Tang Yixiao also wanted to go, but the stall had to be looked after by someone. After Qin Huiyin left, he had to stay and run the stall well, so he did not make this request.
Qin Huiyin rode in Mr. Tang San's ox cart to the academy that Tang Yichen mentioned.
The sound of reading aloud came from the academy. The scale of this academy was different from the private school in the town. The person guarding the door was not an old man, but a middle-aged man with a scholarly air.
"Sir, I'm looking for Tang Yichen. Can you help me call him? I'm his sister. I'll just deliver some gifts and say a few words and leave. I won't disturb anyone else." Qin Huiyin smiled sweetly.
"You're the sister Yi Chen was talking about?" The middle-aged man said with a smile, stroking his newly grown beard. "He gave us a heads-up and said his sister might come over today. Wait here for a moment, I'll go find him right away."
"Thank you, sir." Qin Huiyin saluted.
"I'm just a doorman, why do you call me sir?" the middle-aged man laughed.
"Mr. is a respectful title. Talented people can be called Mr., as can those who have made contributions. Even woodcutters, fishermen, and candied haws sellers can be called Mr.. You are so gentle and your words are like the warm sunshine. No matter who you are, you are so polite and courteous. You must be a gentleman. Of course, you are Mr.."
"Yi Chen said his sister has a delicate heart, and today I see that it is indeed true." The middle-aged man said, "Little girl, if you were a man, your future would be limitless."
"Becoming a king or a prime minister is my future, fighting in battle is my future. As a little woman, I can guard my own little world, live a carefree life with my family, and walk my dog and play with my cat. I'm not a man, but I still have my own future."
"Hahaha..." the middle-aged man laughed.
"Sir, please don't be offended by my child's words." Tang Yichen walked out and bowed to the middle-aged man.
"When did you come?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.
"Just arrived." Tang Yichen said, and then said to Qin Huiyin, "Little sister, this is the headmaster of the academy."
"Headmaster, although I am young, I am not a child. Everything I say is sincere." Qin Huiyin said seriously, "It doesn't matter if I am a man or a woman. I am not a man, but I can live a happier life than many men."
The headmaster nodded and said, "Well done. Yichen, your sister is as you said, she has a delicate heart. Well, you two siblings can talk, I won't bother you anymore."
"Wait a minute..." Qin Huiyin pulled out a clay pot and shoved it into the headmaster's hand. "Don't get me wrong, this isn't a gift. I just want to share my homemade food. This sauce can be added to any dish, whether it's rice, steamed buns, noodles, or anything else. You can add a little to your taste. The headmaster has worked so hard teaching his students, so this is a treat."
"Okay, I'll take it." The middle-aged man said, "It's a pity that there's no precedent for women taking the imperial examinations in our dynasty, otherwise you would definitely have a place."
Qin Huiyin: "..."
You don't have to.
She had endured nine years of compulsory education, the college entrance examination, four years of university and the postgraduate entrance examination. She really didn't want to study anymore!
After the headmaster left, Tang Yichen tapped the tip of her nose and said, "You really dare to say anything."
"Did I say something outrageous?" Qin Huiyin was unconvinced. "I sent you something, and you still say that to me. Then I won't send you anything next time. Let them do it."
"Brother, I was wrong. Please forgive me for my careless words." Tang Yichen bowed deeply.
"That's about right." Qin Huiyin said proudly.
Third Master Tang looked at the brother and sister and smiled lovingly, "We just delivered the goods, and Boss Ning settled the balance and ordered another hundred bottles of sauce. Your sister has been exhausted lately, and as her eldest brother, you have to take good care of her."
"Wouldn't it be too tiring to make a hundred bottles in three days? How about doing less?" Tang Yichen said.
"It was only a little hectic at the beginning when I was preparing the ingredients, but now I've sorted it out, and it won't be so hesitant anymore. Besides, I'm not stupid, how could I just suffer alone? I hired someone to do it, otherwise how would I have been able to finish it?"
