Seeing that Song Huan was coming, Shen Mei quickly stood up and bowed to Song Huan Yingying.
"Meet the prince!"
"I'm sorry, but I have to pay a visit to you, Prince Lao, who came here specially for this trip."
"This is the five thousand kilograms of good tea you ordered the folk girl to prepare before, as well as an ingredient!"
"Please take a look!"
As soon as Song Huan entered the yard, he saw the small mountain of packages piled up in the yard.
I had no idea before, but now I realize that there are so many tea leaves in five thousand kilograms!
If you sell these in pieces, how much will they cost?
Thinking of this, Song Huan suddenly felt that he had opened his mouth like a lion?
"Ahem, um, Miss Shen, do you still remember what I said before?"
"I said that during the tribute period, I promise to let you return to your hometown."
"Now, it's time for me to fulfill my promise."
Shen Mei did not expect that Prince Rong would not even look at these priceless teas and ingredients.
She didn't even expect that Prince Rong would take the initiative to ask her questions about repayment!
This made Shen Mei feel a little embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, the daughter of the people is not too anxious..."
"Urgent, how can you not be in a hurry?" Song Huan said seriously, "Time is money, Miss Shen!"
"The day after tomorrow, the envoy from Xia will arrive in the capital early in the morning."
"Time is tight and the tasks are heavy. You have to make arrangements as soon as possible and make money quickly while the Xia Kingdom envoy is in the capital!"
"Earn as much as you have!"
Song Huan was beaming as he spoke, as if he was a serious businessman.
"That……"
"Your Majesty, how can a citizen's daughter get her money back?"
Song Huan grinned: "Miss Shen, how many beautiful maids do you have in your house?"
Shen Mei's original impression of Song Huan was not bad, but Song Huan came up and asked if the maid in the mansion was pretty. Shen Mei's impression of him deteriorated a lot in an instant.
"..."
"Your Majesty, the maids in the Shen Mansion are all innocent and good girls."
"Although civilian girls are their masters, they treat them as if they were their own sisters!"
"Even when my father was here, he was very considerate of his servants."
Looking at Shen Mei's serious expression, Song Huan knew that she had definitely misunderstood him.
"Misunderstanding, Miss Shen!"
"What a huge misunderstanding!"
"When I ask if there are many beautiful girls, I don't mean to take these beautiful girls as my own."
"But I want you to train all these beautiful maids to become female anchors!"
"The heroine... broadcast?" Shen Mei repeated Song Huan's words, with big doubts on his face.
I recognize these three words, but when combined together, I can't understand them at all.
"Your Majesty, what is a female anchor?"
"How to make money?"
Song Huan explained: "After you take out these five thousand taels of tea leaves, you still have five thousand taels of tea leaves in stock, right?"
Shenmei nodded: "Not bad."
"That's right!" Song Huan clapped his hands and said excitedly.
"On the second day after the Xia State envoys arrive in Beijing, you can have these female anchors spread out to various busy markets in Bianjing City and start bringing goods."
"Wait...wait a minute!" Shen Mei interrupted Song Huan, confused, "Female anchor, lead the goods..."
"What does this all mean?"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, for your stupidity. But when you were fourteen, you followed your father into business, and you have never heard of these two words!"
Song Huan snickered, not to mention that Shen Mei had never heard of this word, I am afraid that even Shen Wanshan himself would not know what these two words meant!
"Miss Shen, there is no need to worry. If you have never heard of these two words, it is normal."
"Usually when your Shen Mansion sells tea, it distributes the tea to various tea shops across the country, and then the tea shops sell it."
"But this time, I want you to send people to the streets and alleys and to the markets to sell on the spot!"
"And the person responsible for selling tea is naturally the female anchor."
Shen Mei understood what Song Huan meant, but she still frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, the daughter of the people understands what you mean."
"But tea is not like meat, vegetables, fruits and other items. There are many people who need it, and a lot can be sold in a day."
"The weather is cold now. Even if we stand outside for a whole day, only a few people will come to buy tea!"
"No, no, no!" Song Huan stretched out an index finger and shook it from side to side, "That's wrong!"
"We usually sell tea. Maybe it is because, as Miss Shen said, the supply exceeds the demand."
"But I guarantee that the tea this time will definitely be in short supply and will be sold out quickly!"
Shen Mei was puzzled: "This...why is this?"
Song Huan smiled softly and said, "Because the tea that Miss Shen is going to sell this time is the same tea as the envoy from the Xia Kingdom!"
“It is also the only officially designated tea in the Tea-Horse Mutual Market!”
"With such a gimmick, ordinary people will naturally pay for this curiosity."
"Moreover, if you arrange those beautiful maids to be female anchors to bring goods, you can attract the attention of these buyers even more!"
Shen Mei opened her mouth in surprise: "Your Majesty, my Shen family's tea..."
"Are you actually going to supply the Xia Kingdom envoy?"
Although Shen Mei knew that these five thousand kilograms of tea would play a role in the tribute ceremony.
But what she didn't expect was that these tea leaves were going to be supplied to the Xia Kingdom envoys!
Moreover, what does Prince Rong mean by the "tea-horse trade" just now?
Seeing Shen Mei's surprised and confused look, Song Huan didn't give in anymore.
"Anyway, as long as you trust me, you will use these two gimmicks to bring goods to the market. I don't believe that the remaining five thousand kilograms of tea cannot be sold!"
"Moreover, it was sold at three times the usual price!"
"This is the token given to me by His Majesty. If you have this thing in your hand, the common people will naturally believe it."
Looking at the token handed over by Song Huan, Shen Mei was flattered for a moment and didn't know what to say!
"Your Majesty, you..."
"What you did for our Shen family is unforgettable!"
"From now on, whenever you have any needs, Shen Mei will definitely satisfy them even if she tries her best!"
Saying that, Shen Mei was extremely moved and knelt down facing Song Huan.
Since the death of his father, Shen Mei has to compete with several brothers for the position of head of the family, deal with the business left by his father, and prepare supplies for Song Huan.
After working all day and night, Shen Mei was already exhausted physically and mentally!
But now, facing Song Huan, who had taken everything into consideration and arranged everything carefully, Shen Mei couldn't help but shed a few tears.
This feeling of being taken care of, of having everything arranged, is just like the familiar sense of security when daddy was still around...
So familiar and so attached!
