Chapter 153 Please help
Qin Ying said hurriedly: "That's right, but it's not easy for me to go directly to you, sir. Please help me."
"That's no problem," Zhang Jinzhi looked at Qin Ying as if she were his own disciple, very gentle and loving. "Do you want to go back and wait for news first, or wait here for a while?"
An An said first, "I'm going to play with Uncle Zhou!" and ran out.
Zhang Jinzhi stroked his beard and smiled, "There's no need for me to report this time. Let's just go straight to the adults."
Qin Ying said respectfully, "I'll listen to you."
Zhou Yu really had nothing to do today. He had a slight cold. When he saw An An coming, he didn't dare let her get close and just chatted with her from a distance.
Seeing Qin Ying coming over, he hurriedly said, "Miss Qin, I feel a little unwell today. I'm afraid that An An might be sick. Please explain to her."
An An was very angry about this, her cheeks puffed up, and she turned her head away, not looking at Zhou Yu.
Qin Ying felt a little embarrassed, so she quickly picked up An An and comforted her in a low voice.
An An rested his chin on Qin Ying's shoulder without saying a word. What a joke! Is this the kind of person who can be defeated by a minor cold?
Zhang Jinzhi took the lead and Qin Ying told him the purpose of her visit.
Zhou Yu nodded. "That's easy. I'll write a letter to Mr. Ding, but choosing a location and size for the shop isn't something someone else can do for me, is it? Why don't you go over and take a look yourself?"
"If it's possible, that would be the best," Qin Ying said hurriedly, "but I'm worried it's unsafe on the road, and besides, I really don't know how to do it."
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Well, Qi'er and her sister have been here for a long time and haven't been to the county town. It just snowed and there's nothing to do. I'll take them to the county town for a walk. If Miss Qin is free, she can go with them."
"It's okay if you don't understand. You can visit two more brokerage firms, or ask Master Ding more."
Qin Ying hurriedly thanked him and quickly left. She was very grateful for the care he gave her.
Zhou Yu asked Xu Xia and Zhang Jinzhi to help him send it off, as he was really feeling a little tired at the moment.
On the way, Qin Ying asked Zhou Yu about his symptoms.
Xu Xia's eyes lit up: "Oh, that's right! Miss Qin also understands pharmacology, you still have a lot of medicinal herbs! In fact, we adults also know a little, but we don't have any medicine.
"Besides, he always thinks he's strong and healthy, and that any minor ailments can be overcome with just a bit of effort."
Qin Ying couldn't comment, so she just said, "Brother Xu, why don't you come with me? I've made the medicine, and you can bring it back.
"We also experimented with making a few pastries yesterday and sent them over for you to try. Please don't mind their crudeness."
Xu Xia followed him to the next door, and when he came back, he not only brought back the medicine, but also brought back a lot of cakes, all of which were divided into portions.
Zhou Yu really didn't like taking medicine, but Xu Xia emphasized that this was the medicine that Miss Qin had prepared herself, and she had also brought the prescription back.
Zhou Yu stared at the prescription for a while, then drank the medicine.
Xu Xia brought up another cake and said, "This is made by Miss Qin. She uses the dried fruits she picked this year."
Chestnut cakes, nut crisps... are all made into different shapes.
Just from the appearance, you want to try it.
Xu Xia couldn't help but praise him, "I didn't expect Hu Zi to be so skillful. Miss Qin drew the pattern and he made the mold according to it.
"I heard from Aunt Zhao that they are going to use molds to steam buns!"
Zhou Yu picked up a piece of chestnut cake and ate it. It was soft and sweet without being greasy. He asked casually, "Do they have enough sugar?"
"It shouldn't be enough, right?" Xu Xia wasn't sure. "When I went over, Aunt Zhao was making malt sugar. She said it was only because of the bumper summer harvest this year, otherwise she wouldn't be willing to make it."
Not long after, An An came running over, climbed onto the kang skillfully, and sat down opposite Zhou Yu. He put his elbows on the kang table, supported his chin with his two chubby hands, and asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?"
Not knowing if the medicine had really worked, Zhou Yu felt much better now and nodded very solemnly: "Delicious." He knew An An was asking about the snacks Xu Xia brought back.
"Of course!" An An shook her head, her big black eyes filled with smiles. The red pompom on her bun trembled with her movements, adding a bit of agility to her. "That was made by my mother!"
Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile and said softly, "Well, your mother has always been clever and skillful."
"Hey," An An nodded vigorously, "I thought so too! What's it called? Is it 'great minds think alike'?"
Zhou Yu's smile deepened, but he nodded in agreement: "Yes, we two heroes think alike."
An An was even happier. "Uncle Zhou, from your perspective, if my mother were to sell this craft, would she have trouble finding a market?"
"Hmm?" Zhou Yu frowned slightly. "Why do you ask that?"
"My mother wants to buy a shop in the county," An An told Qin Ying's plan without hesitation. She didn't fall asleep when her mother and grandmother were discussing it! "Didn't my mother tell you about it before?
"I was thinking, wouldn't it be better if my mother could run one of them herself?"
Zhou Yu nodded seriously: "What you said makes sense, but have you discussed these things with your mother?"
"Not yet!" An An spread his hands in distress, "Isn't it because they are worried that the outside world is not peaceful enough?
"I was thinking that everything should be prepared in advance. Even opening a shop is not something that can be done in a few days.
“Especially if you run a dim sum shop, the food has to be delicious and look good to sell well, right?
"My mother could have set aside a year or two to research the types and figure out the molds!"
Zhou Yu couldn't help but flick An An's forehead with his finger, "What a clever little guy! You can even think of these questions!"
"Hehe!" An An grinned, her teeth bared. "It's a simple logic! People will like to eat something if it's delicious and looks good. If they like it, won't they buy it? And if more people buy it, won't it sell well?"
Zhou Yu nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, since your mother has told me, I will definitely help her with this matter.
“The county town is very depressed now, and even shops in good locations are not expensive.
“With the money you have now, you can even afford a street.
"And with me here, no one will cause trouble, so you can run your business without worry."
An An was very satisfied: "I feel relieved now!"
"You little brat!" Zhou Yu flicked her again, "You're worried about me!"
"That's not the case!" An An waved her hands repeatedly, "Uncle Zhou, you know my mother doesn't like to owe favors to others. If she owes you something, she always wants to repay you somewhere else.
“She always likes to solve any problems herself, but after all, there are many things she can’t solve!
"So, as her daughter, I have to worry more about her!"
