”Where, where? Let me see what it is!”
The waiter raised the bowl in his hands, and the items inside immediately attracted the boss's attention. The waiter knew that his boss liked pretty things the most.
”Go back to the front hall first, there's no one up ahead, I'll go right away.”
The waiter knew that the boss was very particular about drinking tea. Even though he was slovenly when he got up, when he was drinking tea, he was definitely a handsome young master. He brushed his teeth and cleaned his hands; his rules were much more standard.
”Little brother, little brother, you come.”
When he returned to the front hall, he waved to the teenager squatting beside the wicker basket. When Dou Wang saw that the second brother was calling him, he walked back to the entrance of the teahouse.
”Since you're back from your business, I'll be leaving now. I still have to go to the medicine store. Oh right, do you know how to get there?”
Dou Wang was already bowing with his hands folded in front of his chest. He wanted to bid farewell to his second brother when he suddenly remembered to ask about the medicine store.
”You want to sell this to the medicine store? What does this have to do with the medicine store? Can't you drink it as tea? ”
The waiter grabbed Dou Wang and dragged him back into the teahouse. He even poured a cup of warm tea for him and pushed it in front of him for him to drink.
Dou Wang was stunned by this sudden treatment. He just heard that even the cheapest tea cost one tael of gold. How much money would he need to drink from this cup? He was penniless, so he really didn't dare to drink this tea.
”It doesn't matter. Drink it, it's free. You just gave me these honey-made mint leaves. Treat them as my gift. You're welcome.”
The second brother was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep Dou Wang, so he did his best to express his goodwill.
”It's better not to. I'm not thirsty.”
Seeing that the youth was so vigilant, the second brother had no other choice but to find a topic to chat with him.
”Little brother, what's your name? Looking at your travel worn appearance, you must have walked a long way, haven't you?”
My name is Dou Wang, I live in Reliance Village, and it is indeed quite far from the town. I came out of the village in the middle of the night and have just arrived at the town.
The second brother looked at the color of the sky. It was around the end of the morning (7 in the morning). If they really started traveling in the middle of the night, then it really wasn't considered close.
”That's hard enough. Did you come this time just to sell something?”
Dou Wang was just about to say something, but he remembered that Lin Chunnuan had told him to be careful not to trust anyone else, so he swallowed back the words that he was about to say.
”I'm not here to sell, I just want to buy. It's just that my family is poor and I don't have much money, so I want to trade with my things.”
After all, he wanted to sell mint for a big pot.
He wanted to buy medicine, but didn't have the money, so he had to use this honey mint to exchange for it. This way, he could directly exchange it for money in his own store, and then let him take the money to buy medicine.
One had to know that since the tea shop had no new breed, the business wasn't very good, especially since the town east had opened a new tea shop, which had even reduced the shipment of the tea shop. The waiter was puzzled, 'In such a small town, what are the two tea shops making trouble for?'
Good tea leaves were not something an ordinary person could afford. With such a limited number of customers being split up, how could they be profitable? Just by relying on those cheap tea leaves, the profits were too low.
Moreover, the second brother felt that he had helped Dou Wang out by asking him to sell something like honey mint. If Dou Wang sold it at the medicine store, he would definitely be cheated. The medicine store wouldn't give him any money at all.
”Little Rock, is this the little bro that you mentioned just now, who gave you this thing?”
Liu Yunhe came out from the back hall, wearing a black robe and waving his fan, with a jade crown on his head and his hair tied up in a bun, like a jade tree in the wind.
Dou Wang knew that someone important had arrived, so he immediately stood up.
”Greetings, young master.”
