I opened a mother and baby supermarket in ancient times to raise cubs

At intervals in the backyard garden, there is a long table covered with violet table curtains, on which there are fresh seasonal melons and fruits, or rich cooked food with complete color, fragrance, or Shanmian Beverage’s signature fried chicken milk tea, Exquisite and clear jelly snacks, fine wine arranged in a steeple, and from time to time, servants carry wooden trays to add wine to them.

Occasionally, there are half-assembled scattered building blocks in one place, or there are pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and poems are written idlely.

In the shadow of the banana tree and the gurgling water, there is a charming woman or handsome man playing the piano and playing the flute in every pavilion.

Rao, a group of people who have seen the world can't help but sigh in their hearts when they see this formation, it's wonderful!

After they wandered around for a while, some servants came to greet them, saying that they would invite guests to the hall for a gathering when it was time for dinner.

Qiao Mian and Lie Shan sat at the main seat as the hosts. It stands to reason that Mr. He is an official and should be seated, but he said that he came to the party as a commoner this time, and he didn't need to care about those red tapes.

All the people who came here this time were businessmen, and they had a lot of conversations with each other. For a while, the room was full of wine and wine, and it was very lively.

Master Shen Shao of Yuqiao Restaurant offered a glass of wine to Qiao Mian, "Shopkeeper Qiao, I respect you for this glass of wine. If you hadn't helped me back then, our Yuqiao Restaurant wouldn't have known what to do."

As soon as Qiao Mian picked up the wine glass, Lie Shan, who was talking to Mr. He, put his hand on his glass.

Lie Shan rushed to Shen Shaodong's house and said, "My husband is unwell and can't drink alcohol. I hope the young master is no wonder. I will drink this glass of wine with the young master."

"Brother Lie Shan is refreshing!" Shen Shaodong's family laughed loudly, taking advantage of the opportunity, he also drank cleanly.

At the end of the banquet, a restaurant owner in Liu Town said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Boss Qiao, you are famous now, even people from Fucheng are asking about your drink shop, have you thought about it?" Will we also open one in Liuzhen?"

Qiao Mian said with a smile, "Qiao's family was born in Shun'an, and the two shops are also in Shun'an. I really don't have the energy to go to other places to expand."

He paused and said, "However, I have thought about passing some things to other places."

As soon as these words came out, all the drinkers put down their glasses and looked at Qiao Mian with bright eyes.

"Could it be that Shopkeeper Qiao wants to pass on the blueprints of the building blocks?"

"I heard that the shopkeeper Qiao made a good oil, what is it called walnut oil?"

"Or is it the cold drink of Shanmian drink? Or the fried chicken sauce?"

Qiao Mian looked at the last person who spoke, "Business Manager Niu is right, I want to sell some sauces for making cold drinks and fried chicken, as well as dolls."

Shopkeeper Niu asked, "Shopkeeper Qiao doesn't sell prescriptions?"

"If Fangzi is sold, what will our big family rely on for food?"

Someone waved a fan and laughed, "Shopkeeper Qiao, you sell the cold drinks and sauces and I'll be the one to support you, but forget about the dolls. Now there are many people imitating your house, even if we take them back in large quantities, they may not sell well."

Qiao Mian said, "Brother Zhao, do you know why all three shops in my family use the word mountain cotton?"

Shopkeeper Zhao thought for a while, then tapped his hand with the fan, "That's from the names of you and Brother Lie Shan, presumably to show the deep love between you two."

Qiao Mian and Lie Shan looked at each other, and Qiao Mian let out a muffled cough, "There is this aspect, but there is another reason for it to make a name for yourself."

"Nowadays when people mention doll building blocks and jelly fried chicken, they must think of Shanmian Children's Fun Square and Shanmian Drinks. Even if someone makes a cheap and cheap doll, it is not a serious product of Shanmian. We can't stop others from making it. In business, it cannot be said that people make dolls to imitate us, as long as our shop always makes the best and most exquisite dolls, we can continue to make the mountain cotton brand, so why not make money?"

Everyone looked at each other, and shopkeeper Zhao pondered for a while, "Then what I heard from shopkeeper Qiao is that you want us to get the goods from you, and then open a mountain cotton drink or children's workshop in Liuzhen, Wuzhen, and Chengma Town?"

"It's not from me." Qiao Mian corrected with a smile, "It's just the signboard "Mountain Mian" from me."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present here were all human beings, but they didn't understand.

If they want to open "Mountain Mian Drink", they can go to Qiao Mian's to collect cold drink powder and sauce after taking their signboard, or they can find their own way out and sell whatever cold drink they want.

If you want to open the "Shanmian Children's Fun Workshop", you can collect a batch of dolls, and of course you can make it yourself. The current premise is that the dolls should be like the Shanmian Children's Fun Workshop, otherwise ordinary people will not buy it easily.

And the two shops of Qiao Mian have reached the wealth of their own shops in less than a year, who wouldn't be envious?Who wouldn't want a sip of hot soup to follow.

Shopkeeper Niu thought for a while and said, "Then Shopkeeper Qiao, how much money do you want for this sign?"

Qiao Mian gestured two fingers, "I want [-]% of your annual income."

"Thirty percent, isn't that too much?"

"That's right, if you can only earn 100 taels a year, you have to give 30 taels to Shanmian Children's Fun Square. What's left!"

"You also know that my shop is so popular in the small town of Shun'an, let alone your big towns like Ma Town and Liu Town? And if you open a branch shop, it will not only attract customers from our family, but if you don't manage it well, it will cause a lot of trouble. If we get into trouble, it will also affect us. We are all prosperous, and all are hurt. So, [-]% is not much."

After dinner, Lie Shan and Qiao Mian led a group of people to appreciate jade.

Some people thought that although the trip was called "Jade Appreciation Banquet", it was actually Qiao Mian's pretext to "earn" everyone's money.

But when everyone saw the high-quality jade in several rooms, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

Lie Shan invited the shopkeeper of Baoyu Pavilion to explain it to everyone.

Most of the jade is sapphire, and a few are green jade. The grade of jade is higher as you go in, and there is even a rare black jade.

Jade is moist, smooth and delicate.

When he reached the last room, Mr. He, who had always been taciturn, rarely walked in front of the crowd, pointed to two stones and sighed, "This is actually a chicken blood stone."

"What is the origin of this bloodstone?"

"Soapstone, not jade, is placed here anyway."

The shopkeeper of Baoshi Pavilion bowed to Mr. He, "My lord has good eyesight. This is chicken blood stone, chicken blood stone, Yutian Huangshi and Qingtian stone, which are called the three treasures of seal stones, and they are also one of the favorite seal stones of literati." [1]

"Look, this stone is the blood of plum blossoms, with cinnabar red dots dotted on the surface, it seems that there are luxuriant fresh plums growing on the stone, it is a rare and high-quality chicken blood stone!"

"This, isn't this very precious!"

Before the shopkeeper of Baoyu Pavilion could say anything, Master He laughed and sighed, "It's worth a thousand gold!"

A group of businessmen gasped.

What is the origin of this couple? Why is it that one has a Linglong heart and the other is extremely lucky? If nothing else, the jade and chicken blood stones in this house can pack a few mountain cotton drinks!

Shopkeeper Zhao's eyes were turning red with envy, and he went to Lie Shan and sighed, "Brother Lie Shan, where did you find all these jades, and ordinary people can't find a bloodstone even after several lifetimes of luck. Found two more."

In fact, more than two.

To say that he was able to find the chicken blood stone was thanks to those "thieves who picked up leaks". When passing by, my heart was suddenly alert, and I quickly rushed to a frozen ground, and then went down a few hundred meters, and after digging for a long time, I found a large piece of stone that was as red as cinnabar.

Lie Shan said in a deep voice: "These jade stones were bought through changing hands several times, and were also exchanged with acquaintances in the capital. We didn't find them."

"The capital!"

"Brother Lie Shan is from the capital?"

Lie Shan said, "Yes, my husband and I are both from the capital."

"That's no wonder, people in the capital are so knowledgeable!"
