Chapter 52 Negotiation
I don’t know what the shopkeeper suddenly invited her to have tea, but Tong Shan agreed.
The two of them sat by the window on the second floor of the restaurant. Tong Shan sat with his back straightened, looking a little restrained. She glanced at the woman sitting opposite her face, drinking tea calmly, and hesitated and asked, "I wonder what the shopkeeper has to tell me?"
Tong Shan naturally didn't believe that the shopkeeper would suddenly invite her to have tea for no reason, not to mention that she is so stingy, and now she is just the most crowded restaurant, so she even invited her to occupy the best position on the second floor.
The shopkeeper did not rush to respond to her, stood up and poured her a cup of tea: "Don't be so restrained. You have not been here before. I just want to invite you to have tea and chat."
chat?
Tongshan put the rules under the table. Seeing that the woman had already moved the teacup politely to her, she quickly raised her hand to take it, nodded and thanked her softly.
The shopkeeper supported his chin with one hand and tapped his fingers on the mahogany table, which seemed particularly casual. His eyes glanced at the bustling and noisy street outside the window, and suddenly said, "I heard from Xiaoyu that you are the only ones in your home, you and your father?"
Tongshan's actions of drinking tea were slightly paused, and he looked up at the woman facing the window. He didn't understand why she mentioned this, and hesitated for a while, and nodded slowly.
"Is your father who brought you up with you?" the woman continued to ask with interest.
"Well..." She and Zhao Yu were chatting idle that day and accidentally told them about it. Unexpectedly, they were so bored on weekdays?
He even told the shopkeeper about her family.
Tong Shan secretly glanced at the woman. Could it be that she is bored now, and she is really just asking her to chat?
The shopkeeper picked up the teacup, took a sip of the hot tea, and suddenly sighed: "Now, it is a difficult thing for men to support themselves, and they are still carrying a child. I wonder how much suffering they have to endure to survive."
Indeed, these days, women are the pillars of the family, and women are the pillars of the family. If the pillars are gone, the family will easily collapse.
A man who shows up outside will be looked down upon and will easily be targeted by bad people.
When my father was young, he said that the threshold of his family was broken by a matchmaker. Later, somehow he was blinded by lard. He didn't even look at so many handsome and talented women, but he just looked at Tong Shan's mother, who was ten years older than him.
But not long after she was born in Tongshan, her mother was arrested and served as a soldier. She had no news for several years. In the end, she was waiting for a little news about An Jiafei and her mother's death.
Tong Shan didn't know much about her, her biological mother. She had never seen her again since she was born, so naturally she had no feelings. These were only learned from her father.
My father refused to remarry at that time, because he was loyal to his mother, and because he was afraid that she would not be able to bear it, and because he would be wronged if he remarried in the future.
The two of them depended on each other and had gone through a lot of ups and downs. Although they had been very sad in the past, their lives have stabilized. In the future, she will not let her father suffer and feel wronged again.
Thinking of Guan, Tongshan's eyes softened a lot. The shopkeeper stared at her for a while, raised his hand and shook it in front of her: "What are you thinking? You're so fascinated."
Tong Shan smiled shyly, scratched his head and said silly: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered some things from the past."
"My father...he has indeed suffered a lot."
As if you were waiting for her words, the shopkeeper bewitched with a smile in his eyes: "That's why you have to repay him now and earn more money so that he can live a good life."
"Yeah!" Tong Shan focused his attention seriously: "I will definitely make money and let my father live a good life!"
The woman's serious look at sitting upright made the shopkeeper chuckle and suddenly realized that the other side of this usually dull and straightforward person was so interesting.
Looking at this look makes people want to bully it.
"Shopkeeper, why are you laughing..." Tong Shan's face turned slightly red by her smile, and he scratched his face a little embarrassedly.
"It's nothing. Tongshan, you can have such filial piety, it's not in vain to raise you." The shopkeeper suppressed the wantonness on his lips, lifted the teapot and filled the cups of the two of them, took a sip of hot tea, and suddenly changed his voice: "But... just by setting up a stall on the street, selling buns, can he live a good life?"
Tong Shan was slightly stunned and blinked. The teacup mouth was taken away before drinking tea. She pursed her lips, frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "You can earn about one tael of silver every day, and you can get thirty taels of silver a month. It's great."
If you eat less meat for one tael of silver, it will be enough for them to buy food for half a month. Tongshan is quite satisfied with this income.
The shopkeeper sitting opposite didn't seem to expect that she could earn so much in one day selling buns, and almost spit out the tea in her mouth. Fortunately, her cultivation made her endure it. She looked at her suspiciously and couldn't help asking, "How much can you sell in one day?"
This hot head is even better than she thought?
"About fifty, but..." Tong Shan tightly held the teacup tightly, lowered his head slightly as if he was embarrassed, and said shyly: "Sometimes I get up late, I will do less."
Sometimes she would sleep late and would fall asleep in the morning, and she would only know when Guan called her.
After not seeing the person opposite him for a long time, Tong Shan couldn't help but look at him in confusion, and then saw that the man frowned slightly, his eyes fixed in one place, as if he was in deep thought.
Tong Shan didn't bother her either, so he looked at the dishes on the table, and couldn't help swallowing. Today, he took the stall and was pulled over by the shopkeeper. Apart from drinking a few cups of tea, he didn't have time to have lunch.
No one could ignore the straight look. The shopkeeper came to his senses, curled the corners of his lips, and pushed the dish she was staring at in front of her: "The dish is almost cold, otherwise I'll talk after dinner?"
Tong Shan nodded quickly. When she saw the woman start to move her chopsticks, she couldn't wait to reach out to pick up the food.
The two of them didn't say a word during the meal, and Tongshan was busy eating and had no time to say it.
After the meal, the shopkeeper wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and asked her if she had enough, and then he slowly expressed his main purpose today: "How about Tongshan not as good as when you go to my restaurant to make buns? You don't have to be exposed outside in the wind and sun, and... you don't have to come out to make the buns. You just need to make the buns early and go back. As for Yueyin..." She raised her hand and flipped over Tongshan: "I'll give you double the amount when setting up a stall. What do you think?"
Tong Shan, who was drinking tea to relieve her tiredness, was stunned for a while by her words.
The first thought was that this was the first time I heard the shopkeeper say so much, and he sorted out the meaning of her words slightly slow, and Tong Shan looked at her blankly: "You... want me to make buns in the restaurant?"
Give her double the moon silver?!
It was not until Tong Shan saw the shopkeeper nodding, and he suddenly came to his senses. He opened his mouth and opened his mouth again and again, and he was extremely puzzled: "Why?"
There is no food like buns in this restaurant, and it is mostly snacks. But if you really want to make buns, you can just ask the aunt to make them. Why do you have to spend such a high amount of silver to invite her?
"I think the buns you made are delicious." The shopkeeper's reason was very straightforward. When she tasted the buns sent by Tongshan that day, she seemed to see a steady stream of silver.
Of course, the buns are everywhere and the taste is very ordinary. She just thinks it can fill her stomach. It is because of this reason that she did not add this dish in the restaurant.
But the taste of Tongshan gave her last time was different. This was the first time she tasted the softness of the fragrance. It was just one tasted it and it made people feel aftertaste.
It is a waste to set up a stall and sell a few quotas. It would be better to put it in a restaurant. No one would care if it was raised several times.
As if I saw the continuous silver liang, I was still stunned when I saw the person on the other side. The shopkeeper smiled and blinked at her: "If you don't want to do it here, you can also consider selling the secret recipe for making buns to me, and you can get the price as long as you want."
It was just a joke that said, after all, who would give up his meal to others? But he didn't expect that this person was stunned for a moment and actually nodded in agreement.
"Yes, you should pay attention to using strength when kneading the dough. The rest are no different from those who make buns." She always kneads at home, otherwise her father will use strength unevenly and the skin of the bun will taste different.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a while by her confession, and didn't know if this person was really stupid or fake. He actually said it so easily: "Aren't you afraid that I'll steal your business?"
Tongshan was stunned when drinking tea, looked at her, and asked bluntly: "Do you only sell for a few cents?"
She thought it would take several liters to be raised in the restaurant, and Tongshan didn't think so much. Anyway, it wouldn't prevent her from making money.
Now it was the shopkeeper who was choked by her words. She said it was right. The people who came to the restaurant were some people in the town who were either rich or noble, so how could they only be willing to sell those few cents?
After looking at the woman for a while, the shopkeeper laughed and said, "Although I love money, I don't like taking advantage of others like this. That just said was just a joke with you, don't take it seriously." She suddenly supported her arms on the table, leaned forward, and smiled so hard that her eyes flashed, and sincerely asked, "Let's come to me. Isn't it a pity to refuse such good conditions?"
The woman is short, just like those young men who are not as good as her hair. Now she looks more beautiful when she smiles.
However, Tong Shan really didn't think of a reason to refuse such good conditions. He held the teacup tightly with his fingers, his eyes drifted for a moment, and finally he slowly agreed: "Okay..."
I wanted to go back and discuss with my father and then respond to her, but thinking about such good conditions, my father would definitely let her agree. But...
Looking at the woman's smile, Tong Shan asked uncertainly: "Shopkeeper, can I not go back too late?"
When I was a mate here, I had to go back every day when the sun sets, and sometimes even later. Although she didn't care too much, my dad was different, and he might not agree because of this.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper just said that he was correct and nodded with laughter: "You always close the stalls in the town and finish the work here every time, but you must remember to come earlier."
Counting the time she was from morning to noon, she should be able to make a lot of buns, and then carefully calculate the wages she had deducted, the smile on the shopkeeper's lips became deeper.
Just like a profiteer.
