Chapter 99 Meeting the Old Man Again
She took out twenty coins from her purse and gave him: "This is the cost of going to the mansion."
The last time I went to the house with the Tong family's father and daughter, I gave them ten cents for the time, because she asked him to wait for a while, she took ten more coins.
Li, the driver, only accepted ten coins: "The journey is short, even if we rent a car, ten coins are enough."
"Okay, just wait a moment and we'll be back after we sell the pheasants."
Yan Funing put the ten copper coins back into her purse and jumped out of the car.
Driver Li waved his hand: "It's not urgent."
I just took a carload of guests to the town, and they won't be returning so soon.
Taking a short trip during this period and earning an extra ten cents is already a great thing.
Not long after, Yan Funing took Fu Beimo and Ali to Liu Ji Restaurant.
"Uncle Liu, I'm here."
As soon as she entered the door, she shouted abruptly.
Shopkeeper Liu, who was checking the accounts, raised his eyes and said with a joyful smile: "My daughter is here, just in time!"
He picked up a piece of paper and waved to her.
Yan Funing walked a few steps quickly and saw clearly written down on the paper the sales volume of the nourishing medicinal diet in the past five or six days.
"The medicinal food is very popular," Shopkeeper Liu said. "There were few people ordering it in the first two days, but gradually it increased in the following days, and some people came back after eating."
Yan Funing said: "It's good to be popular. If so, I can think of other medicinal foods."
"Daughter, let's calculate the commission from the sales in the past few days?"
Yan Funing smiled and said: "Uncle Liu, forget about the achievements in the trial opening days. Let's make an agreement today. How about formal cooperation?"
Shopkeeper Liu pointed at her forehead, his joy was beyond words.
"You are such a lovely girl!"
The commission these days does not count, he is a generous person.
To make an agreement, it must be clearly written in black and white and protected by the laws of the day.
The beautiful girl in front of me is generous and rigorous, and she will definitely do great things in the future!
After saying this, shopkeeper Liu laid out the rice paper and picked up a pen to write the agreement.
When he wrote down the commission, he paused: "Daughter, for every medicinal meal sold, I will give you a commission of five cents. If you think it is too low, just say so."
Yan Funing shook her head and chuckled: "I just thought about the menu. It costs five cents a piece, which is not low."
Shopkeeper Liu nodded: "Then I'll write it down."
"Ah."
After the two agreements were written, both of them signed.
Shopkeeper Liu looked at her signature and said with a smile: "Yan Funing, what a good name."
"Uncle Liu's name is Liu Song, which is also a good name."
"I am an ordinary person's name." But he was happy to be praised, so he smiled and gave her a copy of the agreement, "Daughter, keep it."
Yan Funing took it, folded it and put it in her sleeve pocket.
Only then did Liu Song have time to look at the basket: "What kind of mountain goods are there today?"
"Just two pheasants."
Yan Funing signaled Fu Beimo to come forward with the pheasant.
Liu Song raised his hand and ordered the waiter to take the pheasant to the back kitchen, while he took a tael of silver from the counter and gave it to Yan Funing.
After leaving the restaurant, Yan Funing took Fu Beimo and Ali back to the bullock cart.
Li, the driver, flicked his whip and the car passed the market and drove east.
It was only two miles away and we arrived in a short time.
It was very quiet around the high-walled house. What was surprising was that a carriage was parked outside the house today.
The carriage driver and his entourage stood outside the carriage, looking like they were anxiously waiting for someone.
It can be seen that this car is not owned by the house, but belongs to the visitor.
After getting out of the car, Yan Funing walked up and knocked on the door.
There was no movement in the yard.
Driver Li raised his big palm and slammed the door: "Is anyone there?"
Not to be outdone, Fu Beimo and Ali also knocked on the Funing said: "The owner of this house likes to be quiet, let's be a little gentle."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door creaked open.
The middle-aged housekeeper whom I met last time poked his head out and was about to open his mouth to curse. When he saw it was Yan Funing, he said angrily: "Young lady has been here once and knows the rules. Why are you still so rude?"
Driver Li shouted loudly: "It's not the girl who is rude, it's us. Don't blame the wrong person."
The middle-aged housekeeper glanced sideways at him and looked at Yan Funing.
"Sorry, let's be careful next time." Yan Funing said, neither humble nor overbearing, "Ganoderma lucidum, do you still want to take it?"
"Take it." He only uttered one word, turned sideways, and motioned for Yan Fu to come in.
After Yan Funing entered the house, he blocked Fu Beimo and Ali who wanted to follow him outside the door.
"Idlers are not allowed to enter!"
Without saying a word, the door slammed shut.
Fu Beimo and Ali cursed after almost being hit on the tip of their noses.
Driver Li patted them on the shoulders: "This house is like this, it's very arrogant. Let's go back to the car and wait."
In the courtyard, Yan Funing walked on the wooden corridor under the guidance of the maid.
Just like when she came back last time, she heard a violent cough again.
When I came to the second room on the right, I didn't see the lady who negotiated the price last time.
At this time, a maid in apricot-colored clothes came in: "Mammy is in the Xuanzhu Hall at the moment. Girls can wait outside the Xuanzhu Hall."
Yan Funing nodded: "Please lead the way!"
The maid in apricot clothes raised her hand to invite her, and Yan Funing followed her footsteps.
He turned a few corners on the promenade and went to the backyard and outside the first hall.
The maid asked Yan Funing to wait outside while she went in to report.
Yan Funing looked around.
This hall is made of bamboo and is covered with curtains in the breeze blows, the curtains dance lightly in the wind, which makes it feel like a fairyland.
What surprised her was that there was a coughing sound in the hall just now. As her footsteps approached, the coughing sound became softer and softer.
Until now, I didn’t even smell it.
Not long after, an old woman came out. She was the same old woman who negotiated the price last time.
Yan Funing stepped forward, uncovered the oil paper and showed it to her: "Madam, how much do you think the Ganoderma lucidum is worth today?"
The old woman looked her up and down, and then said in a nonchalant manner: "My young master invites the girl to come in."
Yan Funing was confused: "Does your young master want to negotiate the price in person?"
The old woman said: "Young Master has no time to negotiate. If I tell you to come in, just do it. Don't talk so much nonsense."
After all, turn around and leave.
Yan Funing raised her eyebrows and followed immediately.
After passing one curtain after another, we finally entered the Xuan Bamboo Hall.
The smell of medicine is permeated inside, and not only that, there is also incense on the side. It seems that the owner of this house is quite sentimental.
Looking forward, Yan Funing saw a curtain hanging, and behind the curtain sat a man wearing a crown. He looked very young.
Outside the curtain, there was a man bowing and holding his hands. He had gray hair and looked older.
Taking another look, the old man's profile looked very familiar.
Yan Funing stepped forward.
The old woman immediately stopped her: "Don't get close to the young master!"
Yan Funing pushed her hand away: "I don't want to get close to your young master. I think this old man looks familiar!"
The old man turned his head when he heard the sound and was shocked when he saw Yan Funing: "Girl, how come it's such a coincidence?"
Yan Funing smiled and said to the old woman, "Have you heard me? This old man recognizes me." Then, she looked at the old man and said, "Old man, are the oranges sour or sweet?"
The old man laughed out loud: "It's sour, but sourness can quench your thirst."
Suddenly thinking of something, he raised his hands to the young man behind the curtain and said: "Sir, this girl can testify that the old man did go into the mountains. It's just that the old man fell into the hunter's trap and failed to collect the Ganoderma lucidum."
