Chapter 169 Talking about Cooperation
Qin Huiyin pointed in the opposite direction and said, "My new house is still under construction. It should be completed before the New Year. I'll invite you to have a drink then."
Xia Ruwan looked in the direction she pointed, saw the house under construction, and nodded with a smile.
"Sister, go sit in the yard for a while!"
"Okay, thank you."
Xia Ruwan walked into the yard with her skirt lifted up, and saw three puppies running around there, her eyes full of love.
Qin Huiyin brought a chair and placed it in the yard.
The maid next to her nervously stood in front of Xia Ruwan, alert to the approach of several dogs.
"Shuhui, what can such a small dog do to me? Don't get in the way."
"But Miss, you were bitten by a dog when you were a child, and the lady said you can't come into contact with dogs again." Shuhui said.
Qin Huiyin greeted the three puppies and locked them in the doghouse. After washing her hands, she walked towards Xia Ruwan again: "Sister Shuhui, don't worry now. They won't come out again for a while."
"Thank you, young lady." Shuhui bowed.
Qin Huiyin brewed some scented tea and placed it in front of the two of them.
There is a small low table in front of them, which they usually use to put some dried fruits on. They then chat and eat the dried fruits in the yard to relax.
"I've been thinking about what my sister said lately. She said if I tried your cooking, I'd be tempted by your proposal. Since she's so sure of it, of course I have to come and bother you."
"It's a little late today. If I stay for dinner, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the city. You won't be used to living in our countryside. Do you have any plans?"
"I have a farm in Stone Village. We can go there to rest for the night."
"Well, I'll treat my sister tonight with all kinds of delicious food." Qin Huiyin said, and when she saw Li Taohua and others coming back, she said, "Mom, this is Miss Xia. I'll treat Miss Xia to skewers tonight."
"Okay, we'll get ready right away." Li Taohua said with a smile.
Tang Yichen came back from next door and saw two young girls in the house. He looked at Qin Huiyin and asked silently.
Qin Huiyin introduced them to each other.
Xia Ruwan looked at Tang Yichen curiously.
Tang Yichen has a very unique temperament, and you can tell at a glance that he is different from the farmers in the village.
This family is very interesting.
She liked Qin Huiyin's intelligence, and because she felt the aura of a kindred spirit in her, she wanted to get close to her.
Now it seems that each family member has their own unique "interests." Take Li Taohua, for example. She's bright and outgoing, a married woman who dresses glamorously, and she never hides her concern for her appearance. Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao, the brother and sister, have a subtle presence, like Qin Huiyin's shadows, yet they can accurately predict what she's going to do next and coordinate with her seamlessly. And then there's Tang Yichen, a delicate scholar with a powerful aura. He has a unique aura, as if radiating light from his entire body, and he always seems to be shimmering.
If Qin Huiyin knew what Xia Ruwan was thinking, she would definitely say to her, "This is the male protagonist's halo. The so-called male protagonist is the center of the plane, and all the supporting characters will be attracted by his brilliance. Of course, he is also a concentration camp of contradictions. Cannon fodder and villains are incompatible with his aura. Once they receive his signal, one outrageous event after another will happen to suppress him."
I made skewers in the evening.
Because Xia Ruwan was a female guest, Tang Yichen and Tang Yixiao did not sit at the same table with them, but instead had a meal with Mr. Tang San in their bedroom.
Li Taohua, her daughter and her two children, along with Xia Ruwan and her servant, enjoyed a bowl of skewers in the courtyard. While enjoying the skewers, Xia Ruwan mentioned the details of opening a shop.
Qin Huiyin instructed Xia Ruwan in mixing her favorite seasonings while she discussed the business. She had already planned to open a shop like this even without Xia Ruwan's investment. The difference was that with Xia Ruwan's investment, she could open a shop like this now. With Xia Ruwan's sufficient funds, her first attempt could be even more successful. If Xia Ruwan didn't like this "small business," she could rent a shop and open one herself once she had enough money.
"I provided the store and the capital to open it, and my sister only provided the craftsmanship. Now she wants to take 50% of the profits. It's a bit unfair!" Xia Ruwan smiled.
"And there's the matter of personnel management. Sister, you provide the storefront and capital, and I'll provide the skills and personnel management. We'll split the profits 50-50. Sister, you have money, but no skills. Without my skills, this business wouldn't be possible. Sister, please consider it. If we really can't come to an agreement, let's just be friends today. It's tough for us women to run a business, so it's necessary to stick together."
"Are you really only twelve years old? Why do I feel like you're more like a veteran?" Xia Ruwan chuckled. "Next time you go into town, come to my shop and I'll give you my final answer."
"Thank you, Sister Ruwan." Qin Huiyin stood up and grilled lamb skewers on the stove next to her.
After dinner, Xia Ruwan chatted with Qin Huiyin for a while about the details. Looking at her expression, Qin Huiyin understood that the matter was almost certain.
Although she didn't agree to it right away, Xia Ruwan was clearly very interested. This was a big deal for her, so she would probably have to go back and discuss it with her strong mother before giving her a response.
In the carriage, Shu Hui snatched the account book from Xia Ruwan's hand and said, "My dear lady, you should take a rest for a while. These account books won't run away anyway."
Xia Ruwan chuckled: "You really are becoming more and more like a nanny."
"You're so busy you don't even have time for tea, yet you've made a special trip to the countryside just for this Miss Qin. Miss, have you decided to cooperate with this Miss Qin?"
"Her cooking skills are excellent, and her ideas are good too. The Xia Family Restaurant's customers are all wealthy, and they've never opened a restaurant that ordinary people can afford. Food is the most important thing for the people, and ordinary people are human beings too, and they want to live a good life. I think her idea is good. I'll go back and tell the accountant and ask him to estimate the amount of the silver. The next time she comes to the city, I'll have her sign the documents and complete the cooperation procedures."
"Whoa..." The carriage suddenly stopped.
"What's going on, Uncle Ma?" Shuhui lifted the curtain and looked outside.
The driver said, "Miss Shuhui, someone is stopping our carriage."
"Who?" Shuhui opened the car door and walked out.
When she saw the disheveled woman, Shuhui covered her nose and said in disgust, "I thought it was someone else, but it turned out to be the young lady of the Liu family who had an affair with the farmhand and gave birth to an illegitimate child."
Liu rushed over and patted the carriage door: "Ruwan, Ruwan, I know you are in there, come out, I have something to tell you."
"Go away, our young lady has nothing to say to you." Shu Hui pushed Liu away and got back on the carriage. She said to the driver, "Uncle Ma, don't pay any attention to this shameless woman. If she tries to stop you again, just rush over."
"This……"
