Chapter 331 Business is booming
"The high-ranking official from the capital is now living in the City Lord's Mansion. Liu Quan is terrified all day long.
We guess that something happened on the island a few days ago, and the mine was blown up, which might have alerted the higher-ups, so they sent people here."
Song An Ning pretended not to know and moved closer to ask a few more questions. In fact, when she saw that person just now, Xiangxiang said that this person was extraordinary and the token he carried on his body should be from the royal family.
That's why Song An Ning went forward and spent some time talking to him. Sure enough, after this person entered the room, the threshold of the milk tea shop was almost broken.
In their minds, all rich and powerful people will buy this. Whether it tastes good or not is another matter. They just buy it as a sign of respect.
After getting the things, everyone gathered at the door of the milk tea shop and drank the tea in the bamboo tubes.
"It's delicious! It tastes amazing!"
"It's sweet and has a tea aroma. Mine has the aroma of grapes, which are rare at this time of year. It's really rare."
"No, I want to buy two more bamboo tubes. Their prices are cheap. I want to fill a bamboo tube and take it home for my wife and children to try."
Those who had originally laughed at Chen Guanghui and his wife stood at the door for a long time and were too embarrassed to go in.
Seeing this, Song Anning hurried forward with a tea tray:
"Today is the opening of our shop. Everyone, come and have some fun and try our tea."
The mischievous little girl, with her eyes narrowed into crescents, greeted everyone eagerly. Many people felt that they had said too much before and had to show their support.
As a result, I couldn’t stop drinking it. It was sour and sweet, and my mouth was full of tea fragrance. I bought it!!!
"Tsk tsk, how did that idiot Chen Guanghui figure this out...
It’s really delicious…”
"That's right... The women in my family all love sweets, so I'll buy a few extra cans to take home."
There was a constant stream of people in the shop all day long, and even when everything was gone in the evening, there was still a long line at the door.
"Aning, what should we do? Did we not stock enough? So many people still haven't bought it."
Xiao Yao was a little anxious. Looking at the eager eyes of the crowd, she wondered if they would be angry after waiting in line for so long but didn't buy anything.
Song Anning walked around the room and found that the milk tea had been sold out long ago, leaving only fruit tea bags and half a bucket of green tea.
"Go out and tell them that's all for today. Give each of them a fruit tea bag and ask them to take it home and try it. If they like it, they can come back tomorrow."
"Is this... okay?"
"Don't worry, business will be better tomorrow after tonight."
Old Master Chen nodded in agreement. Having been to Banyue Village twice, he knew that Song Anning was a native girl of the village, but when it came to business, her stupid son and daughter-in-law combined could not match her.
They say that a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son will dig holes. Now, he began to doubt this saying.
That night, Song Anning still slept at Chen's house, next to Wang Qiuyue.
She had just entered the room and hadn't even sat down when she saw Chen Guanghui and Xiao Yao running towards her in a hurry.
"Master, I made money! I really made money!"
After the shop owner handed the account book to Xiao Yao, the couple checked it again. When they saw the number at the bottom, they both stood at the table in disbelief.
"A tea bag is 15 cents, fruit tea is 18 cents, and milk tea is 25 cents.
The unit price is very low, but why is there so much when we put them together? "
"We made over fifty taels of silver on the first day? And that's even after deducting the costs..."
Although it cannot be compared with other big businesses, for the two of them, it is an unprecedented success!
I have lived to this day and have only spent money every day. Now I earn dozens of taels of silver a day, which means more than 1,500 taels of silver a month.
Song Anning looked at the account book. Not many tea bags were sold today, and milk tea was the most popular.
The prices in Linhai Town are relatively high. A dozen or twenty coins are not expensive for ordinary people. There are many people buying, so the profit is small but the sales volume is high. Naturally, the total profit will not be small.
“It’s a lot of money in a month.
In the future, when the weather gets hotter, I’m afraid the milk won’t keep for a day, so I’ll keep it for sale in the morning and only sell fruit tea in the afternoon. This way, customers will get used to it, and we can serve hot milk tea in winter.”
"Master, don't worry, we will definitely run the shop well."
Song An Ning stayed in Linhai Town for another three days. The milk tea shop was still doing a booming business. On the first day, the big shot asked the servants to come over and buy hundreds of tea bags. The ladies of the various families also took action.
If this continues, the tea bags in the store will not last for ten days. Song An Ning used the excuse of going back to prepare tea bags and went back with Wang Qiuyue.
When they returned, the Chen family brought them a lot of things and sent a boat to take them directly to Banyue Village.
After arriving home, Song Anning started a new round of busyness.
She bought tea bags and braised meat seasoning packets from the mall and sent them to Zuixianju and Linhai Town respectively. Thinking that it would rain in a few days, she prepared a lot this time, enough for them to use for more than a month.
I run and practice martial arts in the morning, read and write with the children in the morning, and go up the mountain with everyone to collect firewood in the afternoon. Occasionally I go to the river to help carry stones.
At first, those uncles and brothers didn't let Song An Ning take action and tried to persuade her in various ways.
"Aning, you're a little girl wearing a skirt. It's dirty here, don't touch it. Just watch and talk to us."
After hearing this, Song An Ning did not refute, but picked up a big rock very calmly. Seeing her relaxed look, everyone was dumbfounded.
"My goodness, this stone weighs over a hundred pounds, and little Aning just took it away like that?
So what does it mean for the two of us to carry a stone?"
"This girl is really strong."
With Song Anning joining in, everyone worked harder, and before they knew it, she seemed to have become even stronger.
Old Man Pan said that this was a good thing. If she practiced more, her muscles would grow and her foundation would be better.
After more than ten days of hard work, the dam of Banyue Village finally took shape, but when Song An Ning looked at it, he always felt that something was missing.
"Master, what if, let's say, we encounter a particularly severe flood and the water overflows the embankment, what should we do?"
"..."
Song An Ning finally realized that the dam was there, but it was not high enough. If it was increased by two meters, the project would be too large.
But for the safety of the villagers, she still gritted her teeth and expressed her doubts.
The villagers were originally immersed in the joy of the completion of the dam, but when she raised this, everyone's heart was lifted again.
"Build a thick wall along the river to surround our village.
Leaving only a few exits will make the patrol much easier.
Pointed bamboos were buried on the wall, and no one dared to climb in.
If there's a flood, we can use sandbags, planks, and mud to block these holes, and water won't get in."
"Aning, this is a good idea. We still have a lot of money left. Let's do it tomorrow! It's always easier to build a wall on flat ground."
Unexpectedly, her proposal was unanimously agreed upon by the entire village. The money had already been spent, so if they were going to do it, they had to do it to the best of their ability.
Old Man Pan nodded non-stop. After everyone left, he whispered to Song An Ning:
"It has to be said that the villagers in your village are really united. As long as it is for the good of everyone, they will agree, even if it means spending money or manpower."
"Isn't it? If we run into those people from Liujia Village, who knows what will happen."
This is also the reason why Song Anning is willing to help everyone. Knowing how to be grateful and having one heart is enough.
In the last few days, Song Anning checked the weather forecast many times every day. The cloud map had turned black, and it seemed that the situation was more serious than she had expected.
