"Going to your store?" Ronger was stunned. After she came to her senses, tears filled her eyes again.
She really didn't expect Qin Lian to be able to help her to this extent.
"Am I suitable?"
"Of course! We have nothing to do in the store, you can get started soon!"
Qin Lian originally just suggested it, but the more she thought about it, the more feasible it became.
The only things they bought in the store were snail noodles and stinky tofu, but because there were so many customers, she couldn't handle it alone.
Xiao Wu was Xiao Yun's female guard, and Su Liuye was too embarrassed to let Xiao Wu help in their store. The Ronger in front of her was indeed very suitable.
"You should think about it carefully first. Our store will not officially open until next year, and this period will only pass by occasionally."
"good……"
Ronger nodded, feeling bitter in her heart.
She knew that she would never be able to return to the Liu Mansion. Although she didn't know why she didn't freeze to death, Song Xiao couldn't let her go back.
All her things were in the Liu Mansion. If Qin Lian hadn't helped her, she wouldn't have been able to survive even if she didn't die of illness.
Having just drank the medicine, the bitter taste was still lingering in her mouth. Ronger leaned on the bed and felt that her heart was also bitter.
It was a rare sunny day these days. Qin Lian left Rong'er's room and went to the kitchen to take out the bacon to dry.
These bacons were prepared by Su Liuye before and had been dried for several days. They would be ready for sale in a day or two.
She put the bacon in the yard to dry.
Back in the room, Su Liuye was sitting at the table writing the menu, which she had not dealt with before.
When she heard the door open, she turned around and saw Qin Lian coming in. She asked about Rong'er and learned that Qin Lian wanted her to stay in the store to help.
Su Liuye thought for a while, there was indeed a shortage of people in the store, but...
"Lianlian, how did you meet Liu's maid?"
"I..." Qin Lian's eyes flickered. She didn't want Su Liuye to know what was going on between her and Liu Yuan, so she made an excuse at random, saying that the two knew each other because they had met before at the Liu Mansion's winter banquet.
Su Liuye looked at her and could easily see through the panic in her expression.
After sighing softly, Su Liuye did not ask any further questions. Thinking that the store was indeed short of people, she agreed to let Rong'er come over. However, there was nothing busy in the store these days. Rong'er had to help if she could get out of bed. Clean up the house and get ready for the New Year.
It was getting late, so Su Liuye packed up the things on the table and called Qin Lian to pick up Mr. Lu.
Mr. Lu first asked someone to send a letter back. The letter said that he would be coming back in the next few days.
"Sister Liu Ye, Sister Qin Lian, where are you going?"
As soon as they went out, they happened to meet Chu San coming from the other side of the room. He changed into a crescent-colored robe, with a smile on his face.
When Su Liuye saw him, she also smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, you came just in time. The pickle master I told you before is coming back, and we are about to go out to pick him up."
"Is it such a coincidence?"
Chu San's eyes suddenly lit up, "Sister Liu Ye, I happen to be free today, why don't I go with you?"
"That's fine."
Su Liuye didn't think much about it. She had told Chu San about this before, and she also saw that Chu San wanted to meet Mr. Lu.
When the old man comes back, they will meet him sooner or later, and now someone happens to help them move some things.
Mr. Lu specially took a carriage to a nearby town this time. There were people he knew there and he could purchase ingredients from there.
Those ingredients were all stored before winter and were very rare. If Mr. Lu hadn't had friends there for many years, he wouldn't have been able to buy them.
The letter written by Mr. Lu asked them to wait at the city gate.
Su Liuye brought Qin Lian over, and soon a carriage came slowly from the official road. The person sitting in the carriage was Mr. Lu.
"Grandpa Lu."
Su Liuye stepped forward.
Mr. Lu looked tired and was sitting there smoking a cigarette. When he saw her, she just pointed to the car behind her.
Su Liuye took a look and vaguely saw several sacks inside. It was estimated that the contents were ingredients.
"stop!"
The driver stopped at this time and said to Mr. Lu, "Old man, I can only take you here. I can't enter this city gate. I will help you with the things, and you can figure out the rest by yourself."
"OK."
Mr. Lu knocked on the cigarette rod and got out of the car.
Su Liuye went over and helped her, "Grandpa Lu, how do we move these things away?"
Mr. Lu brought back a lot of things this time. There were six sacks in total, and they couldn't move them back no matter what.
"Isn't there a cart there? You go rent a cart, come here, put your things on the cart, and push it back."
"Okay, Grandpa Lu, I'll go over and take a look!"
Qin Lian knew where the cart Mr. Lu mentioned was, so she hurried over to make arrangements.
Su Liuye took the old man to the side and watched the driver move several sacks to the ground.
Just as he was about to go over to help the money, a crescent-colored figure took the lead and paid the money directly. He turned back and smiled at the old man, "Is this Mr. Lu? I, Chu Ci, came here specifically to visit the old man."
"Chu Ci?"
Mr. Lu frowned, looking at the handsome man with picturesque features in front of him, his expression sank slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
"Grandpa Lu, this Mr. Chu came here a few days ago. After eating the pickles you made, he was very interested and said he wanted to learn how to do it." Su Liuye was afraid that the old man wouldn't know, so she explained carefully.
"Yes, old man." Chu Ci cupped his hands in a gentle manner, "Old man, I -"
"Go, go, go! I'm too lazy to tell you!"
Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Lu waved his hands in disgust. He didn't want to sit here anymore. He stood up and walked towards the city gate. He angrily scolded Su Liuye, "When did I say that I would teach others? You really What a fool, you brought someone here directly!"
"Grandpa Lu."
Su Liuye knew that he didn't want to let his skills spread casually, so he caught up and explained, "I don't mean for you to teach Mr. Chu. If possible, we can sell the finished product to him."
"If you don't want to sell it, why don't you sell it? Why don't you sell it to others if you don't have enough in your store?"
"Mr. Chu told me that the elders in his family have sung this flavor before, and now they want to taste it again. Grandpa Lu, I think this request is not too much, so I agreed. If you are not willing, I will go over and talk to Mr. Chu Tell me?"
"An elder in his family?"
Hearing this, Mr. Lu was stunned for a moment, "What elder?"
"I don't know either, Mr. Chu didn't tell me this." Su Liuye said, looking back at the man standing over there, frowning, and continued, "Grandpa Lu, what do you think? "
