Chapter 119 Don’t Send Me Any More
"Sir Cao, you've come at the right time. I've just opened a new cake shop. I'll take you there to taste the food later." Yang Biao went to greet Pan Cao with a smile.
"You're welcome, little brother. I have something to talk to you about today." He looked around and sat down on the chair.
"Xiao Kui, Shopkeeper Yan, you guys go and get busy first." Yang Biao understood what he meant and asked his men to leave.
"I've rented out five more shops for you. I'll go with you to get the keys. Here are the lease contracts." He handed over five contracts and took out a stack of banknotes.
"Oh, thank you so much, Lord Cao. You are like my second parent." Yang Biao took the banknote excitedly. Today is the last day of the jade exhibition, and the money comes just in time.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Judge Cao urged him to get the key quickly. After he delivered the key, he still had to go to the government office to be on duty.
"Oh, okay, Lord Cao, come with me." Seeing that he came on horseback, Yang Biao asked Xiao Kui to unload the cart and lead the horse over. He wanted to ride home on horseback to get the key.
"Master Cao, you've really helped me a lot." Yang Biao gave him five keys and told him that he had other uses for the remaining shops and would not rent them out anymore.
"Little brother, you can do it." Judge Cao hit him on the chest. It was really impressive that this kid could open so many shops by himself.
"Okay, that's it. I'll go deliver the key to someone first." Judge Cao Tong jumped on his horse, looked at Yang Biao, and then rode away.
"Let's go find Shen Chuan first and ask him to buy more raw jade stones at the exhibition." This time, all the rent plus the deposit will be used to buy raw jade stones so that more jade products can be made and sold.
"Jiang Sheng, take five brothers with you and follow Shen Chuan to the exhibition to buy more jade raw stones." Yang Biao gave all the banknotes to Shen Chuan and asked him to go and come back quickly.
Yang Biao arrived at the cake shop and saw that some people were already buying milk tea. It was indeed a popular shop and there was no need to advertise it deliberately.
"Sir, we don't have many eggs left." The owner of the cake shop saw him coming. Business was so good that the raw materials were almost gone.
"Xu Xuanqing, ride your horse to ask Huang Jianduocai to buy some eggs and send them over, as well as fresh milk and sugar." After Yang Biao gave the order, he walked into the shop and found that there were already quite a few people sitting inside, which fully demonstrated that it is better to have a single business.
“Knead the balls until they are smooth, and then you can roll them into balls without them becoming dry and cracked.” He saw the girls rolling pearl balls made of brown sugar and potato starch. The balls they were going to roll later had a dry and cracked surface, making them difficult to roll, so he washed his hands first and then demonstrated the technique to them himself.
"You guys continue with what you are doing," he went to make five cups of milk tea, fried five bags of French fries, thought for a while, and then went to get ten egg tarts. He packed them into two cowhide bags, got in the car and went to Anhetang.
"My milk tea shop opens today, let me give you a try." He handed two cowhide bags to Xia Weiwei, and then went to buy the necessary Chinese medicinal materials.
"Yang Biao, don't send me off again in the future." Xia Weiwei put the things on the table, then walked to Yang Biao who was queuing to buy medicinal herbs, spoke in a low voice, and left.
"Ah," Yang Biao was a little confused. He just wanted to thank Xia Weiwei for helping him, so he gave her these things. He had no other intentions. Looking at the people queuing in front and behind him, he immediately thought that this was in ancient times. If he did this, it would damage the girl's reputation. Okay, I won't come again.
"Wow, miss, this is so delicious with its milky flavor!" Hongling and Jinrong were eating happily, but Xia Weiwei was not in a good mood. She put the French fries into her mouth one by one, but she had no appetite.
"Sir Cao," Yang Biao was waiting on the road that Cao Tongpan had to pass with cakes, fried chicken and French fries when he was about to get off work at the government office. When he saw Cao Tongpan riding over on horseback, he hurriedly called out to him.
"Hey, little brother, what do you want from me?" Judge Cao reined in his horse. In fact, he had seen him from a distance and was just getting off the car with his things. He already knew why he came to see him.
"I have just opened a cake shop and I want to give some to Lord Cao's children to try. They are not worth much, so please don't be disgusted!" He handed all the things to Judge Cao and left in a car.
"Well, this kid is a grateful one." He smelled the aroma of fried chicken coming from the cowhide bag and was secretly glad that he had not made a mistake in choosing the right person.
"Boss, didn't you say that you wanted to make that silk shop disappear?" Manager Gu complained, wondering why the shop was still open today and business was even better.
"Don't bother me!" Xiang Qiang was very annoyed about this matter. He didn't think he had been fooled. Those people took his money but did not do his job.
"Maybe it's because it just opened and everyone wanted to join in the fun, so after a while the business became slow." Xiang Qiang's wife Zhou came over. It's normal to have competitors in business, all he needs to do is manage his own shop well.
"Women's opinions!" Xiang Qiang didn't want to say more to her and went out to drink with his friends.
Through Yang Biao's continuous efforts, except for the shops he rented out, the rest were opened by himself.
Today is the opening day of Yuanyang Jinlou. Long before the opening, Yang Biao had only distributed flyers through silk shops with a clear sales target. Basically, the customers who come to Jinlou to consume are rich people.
"Everyone is welcome to our store. On the opening day, anyone who spends more than 10,000 taels of silver will receive a rabbit doll for free." The furry rabbit doll is only sold and not given away. This is what children like more.
"Spend 50,000 taels of silver and get free gifts..." Shen Chuan was still introducing the opening promotions in front of the shop, but the people below couldn't wait any longer. It was all written on the flyer, and they just wanted the gifts after making the purchase.
"These are enough for ten thousand taels." Shen Chuan took the banknotes, verified their authenticity, opened the cabinet, took out a rabbit doll and handed it to the buyer.
"Wow, the fur is so fine, just like the real thing!" The children were very excited, and the adults were also very happy because the rabbit wouldn't stink if it didn't poop.
"Don't touch it, it will get dirty." The other children thought the furry doll was cute and reached out to touch it, but the child was busy protecting it and not letting others touch his little rabbit, "Daddy, let's go home quickly."
“The finer the jade is, the higher its transparency is, and the stronger its luster is, the better the quality is, such as glass type and ice type; otherwise, the quality is worse, such as bean type.” Shen Chuan introduced jade to the buyer, and Yang Biao was listening.
We learned that the transparency of jade is roughly divided into five levels: transparent, sub-transparent, semi-transparent, slightly transparent and opaque.
He drew the jewelry styles he saw on TV dramas, whether he remembered them clearly or not, adding his own ideas, and gave them to the gold and silver craftsmen for reference.
The days passed quickly. On the day before New Year's Eve, he went to find his guarantor, Cao Tongpan, and paid off the 800,000 taels of silver he owed to Xiao's Money House and got back the documents for the mortgaged house.
"Being debt-free makes me feel relieved!" As soon as Yang Biao walked out of the money shop, he tore the loan documents in his hand into pieces and felt refreshed all over.
"Little brother, let's go for a drink?" Seeing the young man in high spirits, Pan Cao couldn't help but think of his own youth when every day was full of energy and passion.
