140 Entering the City
Su Xiaoxiao admired the night view of the prefecture while thinking about her plan to enter the capital.
…She had just entered the prefecture capital and already wanted to enter the capital. One had to say that Su Xiaoxiao was ambitious.
Su Ergou suddenly shouted, “Sister! Fire! What a big fire!”
Manager Sun jumped in fright. He glanced at them and relaxed. He smiled and said to the siblings: “It’s a vaudeville troupe. Our town also has one.”
Su Ergou said, “How can the people in town be as powerful as this? Wa, wa, wa! Fire again!”
The pedestrians by the road were shocked by his voice and turned around to see where the fool came from.
Su Ergou met a few malicious gazes and said fiercely, “What are you looking at!”
Everyone’s lips twitched as they walked away.
“Sister, I want to sit outside!” Su Ergou said.
“Go.” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Su Ergou lifted the curtain and sat down beside Xiaowu.
“Where are we staying?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Manager Sun said: “There is a Yuelai Inn near the Wang Family, let’s stay there.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “How long will it take?”
Shopkeeper Sun looked outside and said: “After going down this street, we will make a right and go through an alley. About fifteen minutes.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded and asked, “What kind of family is the Wang family?”
Shopkeeper Sun replied: “They started by selling tea leaves. Later on, they started a silk business. Right now, the largest cloth shop and dye shop in the prefectural city are owned by the Wang Family. I heard that they are preparing to open a cloth shop in the provincial city. The Madam Wang who invited us to make the pastries for the weekly banquet is the wife of the third branch. She is a very kind person, and the price she offers is also good.”
“The banquet is tomorrow?”
“Yes.”
Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “So fast… Didn’t they prepare a chef at first?”
Shopkeeper Sun laughed: “She tasted your snacks and liked them so much that she decided to ask you to make them at the last minute. At first, she heard that Old Madam Qi had given her thirty taels and did not intend to pay higher than that. I told her that you are a girl and don’t go out easily. Moreover, the town’s business is too busy. In the end, we raised the price to forty taels and the fare was five taels. This price is considered high in the prefectural city. After all, we are only doing it for a day.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
Manager Sun’s business ability was not to be underestimated.
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “As we agreed from the beginning, I’ll give you 20% of our earnings. The ingredients and the fare will be on me.”
Manager Sun smiled: “Deal.”
This price was not very fair. If he was at his peak, not to mention 20% interest, he would easily draw 40%.
However, things were different now. He had been chased out by Jin Ji. Jin Ji slandered him everywhere. His value had plummeted, and no shop dared to use him anymore.
He was in dire straits.
In addition, at this critical juncture, Miss Su was willing to abandon her past grudges and hire him. It could be considered a timely help.
The carriage soon arrived at the inn.
Su Ergou smacked his lips.
“Haven’t you seen enough?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
“Yes.” Su Ergou nodded honestly.
Children were really energetic. After sitting in the carriage for an entire day, she was about to fall apart, but Su Ergou was still full of energy.
Su Xiaoxiao yawned. “I’m tired today. After I finish my business tomorrow, I’ll accompany you to the streets at night.”
Su Ergou’s eyes widened. “Can, can I?”
Not just to take a look? But to walk around?
“Okay, be good tonight and don’t make a fuss. I’ll take you there tomorrow.” Su Xiaoxiao yawned again. She was really sleepy.
“Alright!”
Su Ergou jumped off the carriage. “Manager Sun! Quick, quick, quick! I want to sleep!”
“Good!” Manager Sun smiled and got off the carriage.
Emotions between people were infectious. At first, he did not understand why Miss Su would bring her younger brother along. He thought that perhaps she wanted his younger brother to gain exposure to the world.
Now, he seemed to understand that this younger brother of hers was simply very refreshing!
Manager Sun went to Yuelai Inn to book a room.
“I want to stay with Xiaowu.” Su Ergou said. freewebnovel.cσ๓
