Strange love across time and space

Chapter 177 Find the shop

At night, Jiang couldn't wait to pull Su Qixuan and Su Rui into the room and locked the door. Su Rui asked puzzledly

"Mom, what's the matter with you? Are you so mysterious?"

"Oh, don't talk!" Jiang interrupted him eagerly. He brought two basins of water, one large and one small, according to Su Qing's method, and demonstrated it to the two men. When they saw water turning into ice, Su Qixuan and Su Rui couldn't help but open their mouths. They had only seen in drawing books that gods could turn stones into gold. Now that they saw Jiang's ability to turn water into ice, they thought Jiang could turn water into ice. He is possessed by a god. When Jiang said that Su Qing learned this method from an ancient book, Su Qixuan was so happy that he clapped his hands.

"Oh my! My daughter is so smart and capable! Since I was a child, I thought Qingqing was smarter than other children. Look, what I said is right. Now that she has grown up, with this smart head, our Su family Life is prosperous!"

Jiang agreed happily, but Su Rui beside him had a dark look on his face. He had not forgotten that in the past few years, his parents had tried to persuade his sister countless times because of her inconsistent personality. At that time, his father could I never said Su Qing was smart. But having said that, the Su family has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes since Su Qing lost her memory. Every time Su Qing created something, the Su family made a lot of money.

Jiang told Su Qixuan and Su Rui that he wanted to sell ice cream and Su Qing wanted to open a teahouse, and both father and son agreed!

Without further ado, just get started. The next day, Jiang and Su Qing discussed the matter of making ice. In order to prevent the secret recipe of making ice from leaking out again, Jiang and Su Qing decided to make ice in the yard next to the soap workshop. Anyway, there were many yards in Su Mansion. This also makes it easier to manage two workshops at the same time.

Jiang summoned Butler Li and asked him to send someone to tidy up the yard next to the soap workshop and redecorate it. Paint what should be painted and add what should be added. He also asked Butler Li to find masons to expand and reinforce the ice cellar in Su Mansion, hoping to store all the ice produced in the ice cellar. Jiang asked Li Qiang to go to the blacksmith shop to customize a hundred large basins and a hundred small basins for making ice. He also went to the market and bought a lot of saltpeter. Afraid of arousing suspicion, Jiang specifically told Li Qiang not to buy it in one place, but to buy it in separate stores. If someone asks why you buy saltpeter, the answer is "I don't know!"

With the experience of leaking secrets last time, Jiang and Su Qing paid special attention to hiring people this time. They specially selected ten young men who were strong, honest, and loyal to be in charge of the ice making workshop. Jiang solemnly followed They said that if this secret recipe is leaked, no matter who leaks it, all ten of them will be killed immediately, so they must supervise each other. But if they do a good job, their monthly income will be three times that of an ordinary servant! When the boys heard that there were so many monthly orders, they all patted their chests to show their loyalty! Since the temperature in the ice workshop and ice cellar was very low, Jiang asked Grandma Lin to make two pairs of cotton-padded clothes and trousers for each of the ten boys.

A few days later, everything was ready, and Jiang and Su Qing ordered the ice-making workshop to start making ice.

In addition, Su Qing has been walking around the streets with Phantom and Qingzhu these days to see if there is a shop suitable for opening a teahouse. After wandering around for two days, she found a shop with a good location and area. This shop also ran a teahouse. However, because the teahouse owner had trouble in his hometown, he decided to sell the shop. The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his forties named Tong Kuan. He has been the shopkeeper of this teahouse for ten years. When he heard that his boss wanted to sell the shop, he was very sad. Firstly, because he was already in this teahouse. I put a lot of effort into this teahouse, and over time I developed feelings for it. The second reason is that if the shop is sold, he will be unemployed and can only find other jobs. Therefore, when I saw that Su Qing wanted to buy a shop, although I was very reluctant to give up, there was nothing I could do.

Su Qing visited the shop under the guidance of Tong Kuan. The shop was quite large and had two floors. The first floor was the lobby, with many tables, chairs and benches, and a small table in the middle. Sometimes the teahouse would invite storytellers and storytellers. The actors came to tell books and sing songs. There are ten private rooms on the second floor. The decoration inside is medium, but because of time, the paint on some furniture pillars has peeled off.

Su Qing was quite satisfied with the teahouse, so she asked Tong Kuan

"Shopkeeper Tong, how much does your boss want to sell it for?"

Tong Kuan saw that although Su Qing's clothes were not very gorgeous, the only headdress on her head was not something that ordinary people could afford, so he answered respectfully.

"When I get back to the lady, the boss said it would cost two hundred taels. If the lady wants it in good faith, I will send someone to ask the boss to come over and negotiate the specific price with you."

Su Qing nodded, "Okay, you can call my boss, I'll wait here."

Tong Kuan immediately asked a boy to invite his host, and he served Su Qing a pot of good tea.

About a quarter of an hour later, the boy came back, followed by a well-built middle-aged man. When the man came in and saw Su Qing, he bowed his hands and saluted. After sitting down, Su Qing refused to be polite to him and directly said that she wanted to buy this shop and asked him to give him a real price. The owner was also cheerful, and in the end, the two of them settled the deal for one hundred and eighty taels.

After the transaction was completed, the fat owner looked at Tong Kuan, who looked sad, and asked Su Qing with a smile.

"May I ask Miss Su, what kind of business does this shop plan to do in the future?"

"To tell you the truth, I am also planning to open a teahouse, but the decoration of your teahouse is a bit inconsistent with my wishes. I have to find someone to redecorate it." Su Qing responded with a smile.

"Miss Su, have you found the shopkeeper and the waiter?"

"Not yet, I want to wait until the decoration is almost completed before looking for it."

As soon as the fat boss heard that Su Qing had no one to choose as a shopkeeper, he immediately introduced Tong Kuan to Su Qing with a smile.

"To be honest with Miss Su, Tong Kuan has been my shopkeeper for ten years. He is down-to-earth, capable, and has a strong sense of responsibility. The two guys around him have both been working in the teahouse for several years. They never They are lazy and sweet-tongued. If Miss doesn't mind, you can consider continuing to hire them after the teahouse is renovated." The fat boss asked tentatively.

As soon as Tong Kuan and the two boys heard what the fat boss said, they immediately secretly observed Su Qing's expression, hoping that Su Qing would agree.

Su Qing looked at the three of them, nodded with a smile and asked

"Are you willing to continue working in my teahouse?"

The three of them looked at each other and nodded.

"Yes! Yes! Miss Su, we have worked here for many years and are very good at this job. If Miss is willing to use us, we will definitely work hard!" Tong Kuan immediately expressed his position!

"Okay, in the next two days, I will find someone to renovate it, and you three will help me keep an eye on it. Although it is not officially open for business yet, I will still pay you for your wages."
