When the guests left, Xu He collected twenty copper coins. Naturally, it was impossible to have such an expensive tea, but what they drank was still the best tea after all.

Hearing the woman's tone, their family was also in the tea business, so she knew whether Xu He charged too much money or not. After hearing the price, she didn't say anything, and said with a slight smile: "If we don't have a vegetarian meal in the temple at noon, we will go back here to eat."

Xu He heard from Zhang Fangyuan that many tea sheds and small restaurants on the side roads didn’t try to get the repeat customers, but often slaughtered the customers in order to make more money. In fact, they could do it too, but Xu He didn't want to do that. He thought this kind of business was actually no different from cheating and kidnapping, and he didn't feel at ease.

As much as it should be, let’s say that today’s woman looked rich and easy to slaughter, but in fact she was also a businessman, and those who were rich in business were more concerned about the money in their hands than ordinary people, otherwise, how did they start their business?.

If it was an honest business, and people still said it. Even if it was empty talk, it was much more pleasant than saying bad words to end the scene.

One morning, he met the most people who came to drink the tea.

This was how Xu He collected money. Those who came in to have a rest and drink tea would be charged five copper coins for one person, and there was no limit to the cup of the tea, and one copper coin would be added for those who wanted to fill the pot.

The tea was not expensive, and it was not good tea, it was just ordinary tea from the tea farm. Threw a handful of tea in the tea tank, boiled the water and poured it in to the cup, which was quick and trouble-free.

Not long after, Zhang Fangyuan came in: "He ge’er, I’m going to look and buy the pig, and if I think it’s suitable, I will slaughter and move it directly.”

Xu He laughed and said, " You have been bragging all morning, are you still optimistic to buy other’s livestock? "

"Naturally, otherwise, no one would chat with them."

Xu He responded, and watched the man drove away in a carriage. Anyway, he had nothing to do here. He couldn't be allowed to serve the tea to the guests here. With that tall and arrogant appearance didn't seem like he was greeting the customers. Instead, it made people thought that they were a black shop, and would ask them for high prices. With such a fierce person, they wouldn’t dare to refute.

It was almost noon, and the passers-by came in not only to drink tea, but also felt hungry after rushing to this point, so they asked for food.

"Today there is bean curds in the shop, and you can also order any seasonal vegetables."

"Is there any meat?"

Xu He said: "There is pork, and the stewed pig offal."

The two men were a little greedy when they heard the words, but they didn't dare to ask for food rashly, and asked: "How about the price?"

Xu He didn't think of this as a trouble: "The price is eight copper coins for a plate of fried vegetables, twelve to twenty copper coins for fried meat, and it’s more expensive for stewed meat, twenty copper coins for a plate. "

The man was relieved to see that the price was similar to that of ordinary small restaurants in the city, he was afraid that this kind of roadside tea shed would rip people off.

Xu He said again: "

There is also rice with vegetables, a plate of rice with a large spoonful of vegetables, with meat, fifteen copper coins. Fried rice is also available for the same price. Bean curd rice is more affordable, eight copper coins."

" After hearing such an introduction, the man found a seat to sit down with confidence, and the two discussed what to eat. In the end, for the sake of benefits, the two of them still ordered bean curd rice.

Xu He didn't mind they ordered something cheap, so he just said wait a minute, Zhang Shiyue quickly prepared a big bowl of bean curd that was warmed in the pot early in the morning, and then filled a small bowl for each of them with chilli sauce.

The rice was served in a small bowl, which was estimated to be a little more than one bowl for one person. Although they were doing business sincerely, there is also a certain amount of rice. If they gave the rice casually, these villagers may force them to give more rice and their loss would be huge.

Zhang Shiyue was not like Xu He who often went to sell things and he went out to set the stall several times. She was a little embarrassed to greet the customers for the first time. At first, Xu He was at the front to support her, she felt that Xu He didn't talk much at home, but Zhang Fangyuan would talk a lot when teasing him. she never thought that he would be very skilled in business like a changed person, it seemed for him that doing business was quite simple.

When it was time to greet the guests, she was at a loss immediately, and she was not like Xu He, so she just reminded in a low voice: "If there is not enough rice, you can pay two copper coins to add a bowl of rice."

Seeing that the food was ready and they were already hungry, the two men agreed wholeheartedly, pointing to the bean curd and cooed like a bird: "This bean curd is good. The dipping sauce is also delicious!"

Zhang Shiyue let out a long sigh of relief, and asked the two to eat it.

With a smile on her lips, she went to call Xiao'e and Xiaomao who were playing outside. She asked one of them to help to lit the fire in the kitchen, and the other to clean up and wipe the table. She plucked up her energy and went outside the tea shed like Xu He to greet the people to come in to eat.
