The Rebirth of Two Beauties

Chapter 128
Kunlun Tea Library in Chongyifang.

Cui Panpan is sorting out the financial statements.When she was in college, she taught herself accounting.I didn't use it when I was looking for a job, but now I use it.Financial statements can more intuitively reflect the operating status of the store and the situation of the employees in the store than the ledger.

Cui Panpan lay on the table by the window.In front of her, stood Lin Xiaoxiao's solar rechargeable lamp.

After scoring the goal, it was cloudy and rainy, and it was cold and windy.Every time it rains, you have to close the windows.As soon as the windows were closed, the room darkened.The light of the oil lamp is always the size of a bean, no matter how many lamps are lit, it is not bright enough.

Lin Xiaoxiao gave this solar rechargeable lamp to Cui Panpan.

Speaking of which, this lamp is the most frequently used item of later generations since Lin Xiaoxiao came to this era.She was reluctant at first, and she was always worried that it would be a pity if the lamp was broken.

But unexpectedly, she couldn't help but draw a lottery a few days ago, and the prize was a solar rechargeable lamp.It was a real surprise.

This incident made Lin Xiaoxiao realize again the significance of the lottery and the importance of points.

Cui Panpan is the only person in charge of the shop today at the Tea Bookstore, and the other staff are all helping out at the grocery store.

Recently, a new product has appeared in the grocery store, and the business is unexpectedly good.Especially the abacus and raincoat, which were out of stock a few days ago.Last night, the mountain just delivered new goods, and the guy was checking the goods while taking inventory.

He could hear the sound of a carriage stopping, and the voices of the waiters greeting the guests.It sounds like a big client is coming.

Cui Panpan smiled silently.

After a while, footsteps sounded at the door of the tea library.

Cui Panpan looked up and saw the figure of the customer through the curtain.She put down her pen, put away the report, and got up to greet the guests.

The visitor was Rui Jiang.

Seeing that Cui Panpan was the only one in the store, Rui Jiang only brought Qiushuang and Dongxi inside, while the other guards waited outside.

Cui Panpan invited Rui Jiang to sit in the tea room, and asked: "The guest is unfamiliar, but he came from a long way?"

Rui Jiang cupped her hands and said, "I come from Qi State, and the shopkeeper can call me 'Mrs. Qi'. The merchants come here to buy goods. I heard that the newly opened Kunlun Grocery Store is doing well, so I came here because of the name."

Cui Panpan made tea and brought some snacks.

"It's all loved by everyone, but they are all small gadgets. Our store also accepts goods, especially herbal specialties. I wonder what Mrs. Qi has brought?"

"It's my fault, this time the goods were sold out in the Song Dynasty, so I can only come to Chongyifang empty-handed to buy."

Didn't bring the goods?The business of Song State is more developed than that of Rui State, so how could they come here empty-handed?Could it be that something happened in Song Dynasty?
"That's really a coincidence. I may not have been to Song State for a long time. I heard that Song State is not so chaotic now?"

"It's better than before. The Jin and Chu countries signed the alliance to eliminate the soldiers. The Song country has no foreign troubles, and the country can finally live a peaceful life."

"The alliance to eliminate soldiers is really signed?"

"Yes, just last month, the alliance of two countries, witnessed by ten countries."

"That's really great. Song Guo is settled down, and our business in Chongyifang can also be boosted."

Rui Jiang looked a little smug: "Yes, Rui Guo double happiness, the future trend."

"Double Happiness? Why Double Happiness?" Cui Panpan asked curiously.

"There are two big countries adjacent to Rui State, one is Song and the other is Wei. Song State is now at peace, and the Qin soldiers who attacked Wei State have also retreated. For Rui State, this is double happiness."

Rui Jiang likes to talk about things with others very much, and she can't stop talking when she starts talking.Cui Panpan is kind and rich, and he is like a humble student in front of Rui Jiang.Cui Panpan catered to her a few words at the right time, and occasionally expressed her own opinion, which made Rui Jiang more willing to have a few more words with her.

In this way, the two "businessmen" talked about current affairs for a quarter of an hour unconsciously.

After drinking two cups of tea, Rui Jiang came back to it.She still remembers what she did here today.

Rui Jiang looked at the tea in his hand and changed the subject: "Your tea seems to be different from others? The taste is very light."

"It's a tea tree that I grow at home. I fry it myself. It's called 'clear tea'. This tea is light, but it can return to sweetness and has a long aftertaste. When reading a book, pair it with clear tea to refresh your body and mind."

"No wonder, it turns out to be tea for scholars."

"Don't look at the taste of clear tea, but it can refresh your mind. Get up early and have a cup to boost your spirits. Don't drink it at night to avoid insomnia and sleeplessness."

"Is it really that good?"

"Ma'am, you can buy one or two to try, it only costs fifty dollars."

"One tael, fifty dollars? It's not cheap."

"Good value for money."

"Since the shopkeeper said so, I must buy one or two to try."

"If Madam is not in a hurry to return to Qi, you can store the tea in the store and come over for a few cups when you are free."

"Does your store still have such arrangements?"

"I'm not boasting. Ma'am, please look at my set of tea sets. There is no second set like this in the world. There is also the study over there. Madam can drink tea while reading books here."

Rui Jiang turned her head to look, and sure enough, she saw rows of bookshelves behind the bamboo curtain.

"The shopkeeper is an elegant man."

Rui Jiang smiled lightly: "It's a pity that I'm a businessman. I only feel a headache when I see the letter. I don't have the interest to drink tea."

"Ma'am, you are joking. Everyone has his own ambitions, and I am just a businessman."

Cui Panpan wrapped a couple of tea leaves in sackcloth.Qiu Shuang took it and counted fifty coins to offer.

After buying tea, Rui Jiang still hasn't left.

"The Kunlun grocery store opposite is also the shopkeeper's business?"

"Yes, the tea room and study room were originally on the second floor of the grocery store, but they felt inconvenient, so they moved here."

"The shopkeeper was the first to open a grocery store in Chongyifang. Why did he come up with this idea? Chongyifang is full of merchants, but the customers in the grocery store look like individual customers. Isn't the shopkeeper afraid of losing money?"

Cui Panpan explained with a smile: "It's also my first time opening a store. I don't have any experience. I just think that there are more than a thousand permanent residents in Chongyi Square. Why can't I open a store to serve these more than a thousand people?"

"Serving more than a thousand people?" Rui Jiang recalled Cui Panpan's words.

"Yes, there are more than a thousand people living in Chongyifang. They have to eat, dress and so on every day. They live here, and they are also customers."

"You're right about that."

Rui Jiang picked up the teacup and took a sip, then suddenly looked up at Cui Panpan and asked, "I heard that the new abacus and raincoats sold in the grocery store are all made by the shopkeeper?"

Cui Panpan froze for a moment, then shook his head: "It's not me, the designer of those things is someone else. Mrs. Qi is interested in abacus and raincoat?"

Rui Jiang nodded and said: "When I came here today, I saw a person in a raincoat on the street, and when I was eating, I heard the shopkeeper of the restaurant mention his abacus. It's a pity that I went to the grocery store just now, but I heard that the store is out of stock. New arrivals."

"That's true. I didn't expect raincoats and abacus to sell well. The first batch of stock was insufficient. It was only last night that the new stock was back, and the guys were preparing it early in the morning."
