Chapter 310 Comfortable Ascent to Heaven
She was worried that the flowers would be too expensive and the customer wouldn't want them, which would be a waste of flowers, so she took only a few of each type.
"Sir, the total will be sixty taels of silver."
Upon hearing this, the young customer lowered his head, took out his silver, counted it out, and handed it to Li Shuchen.
"The girl nodded."
After checking the silver in his hand, Li Shuchen said, "Exactly sixty taels of silver, no more, no less. Please take care, sir, and welcome back next time."
After the first customer left, the second customer immediately stepped forward.
Li Shuchen smiled politely and asked, "What kind of flower would you like, sir?"
"The same bouquet as the previous customer."
Hmm? Could it be that they didn't come for her flowers, but for Cheng Zhi'an's calligraphy?
Li Shuchen quickly selected and processed the flowers, then wrapped them with three sheets of calligraphy paper, without using any paintings or calligraphy. The customer, as expected, said nothing upon seeing this, simply smiling as he watched her wrap them.
"Sir, the total is sixty taels of silver. Please take it."
After collecting the money, Li Shuchen spoke first to the third customer, "Does this gentleman also want the exact same bouquet as the previous two customers?"
Yes, young lady.
"Please wait a moment, sir, I'll be right there."
Li Shuchen skillfully wrapped the third bouquet of flowers and handed it to the customer.
He called out again to the long line of people waiting for Ye Bingli, "Ladies and gentlemen, you can come and line up here to buy flowers."
swish
Several more customers came over.
Before Li Shuchen could ask, she said, "Miss, I want the same bouquet as the previous guests."
Wow, Cheng Zhian's charm is truly amazing! Look at these young students, one or two of them wanting his calligraphy manuscripts. Impressive!
But this guy's handwriting is indeed good.
Clear, upright, and full of integrity, everyone who sees it will praise it as beautiful.
Li Shuchen wrapped the same type of bouquet until 3 PM, when she finally stopped.
He rubbed his aching back and walked to a chair to sit down.
"Ouch, my back! Wrapping these flowers is so tiring!"
Ye Bingli: "Shu Chen, quickly have some tea and take a rest."
Li Shuchen reached out and took the drink, downing it in one gulp: "I thought it was your new event that caused the flower shop's business to boom, but I didn't expect it was because of Cheng Zhian's calligraphy."
Ye Bingli sat down and said, "Today is a day off for students, and with the autumn imperial examinations approaching, it's normal for students to want to practice calligraphy and get good results."
Li Shuchen put down his teacup and nodded: "Yes, there aren't many days left. It's time to dig up my sweet potatoes and roast them to sell."
Ye Bingli: "I want to eat the roasted sweet potatoes that Shu Chen makes."
Li Shuchen readily agreed: "Okay, when I sell them, I'll send you two to try."
Ye Bingli smiled and nodded: "There aren't many customers left in the shop. I can manage on my own. Shu Chen, you should go back to the inn."
"it is good"
Li Shuchen carried his belongings into the inn, placing the purchased porcelain in the kitchen and the custom-made clothes on the counter.
After putting his things away, he found Liu Ru and asked, "How's your massage training going?"
Liu Ru smiled confidently: "Ru'er and her brother have been practicing these past few days. Why don't you check it out for yourself, Miss?"
Li Shuchen thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, come with me to the kitchen."
"Yes, miss"
The two went to the kitchen
Li Shuchen washed some grapes, cut a few pieces of watermelon and honeydew melon, put them on a newly bought high-end plate, and set out a fruit fork.
A new wine jug was filled with grape wine, along with a small wine glass.
"Grape, bring some hot water, I want to take a bath."
"Yes, miss"
Liu Ru carried fruits and fruit wine and followed Li Shuchen upstairs.
Enter the Three Treasures Hall
Li Shuchen took out a 5ml bottle of rose essential oil and handed it to Liu Ru.
"Use five to six drops each time you give a guest a bath or massage."
"Ru'er has remembered."
Grape: "Miss, the hot water is here."
In the room
A large bathtub filled with hot water was placed in the middle, steaming around it, making Li Shuchen want to quickly take off his clothes and go in to wash off the stickiness on his body.
"Grape, close all the windows and watch the doors."
"Yes, miss"
Li Shuchen tested the water temperature; it wasn't too hot. He quickly stripped naked and jumped in with a splash.
The gentle flow of water enveloped her entire body, and she sighed contentedly.
"Oh my god, this is so awesome!"
Li Shuchen leaned against the edge of the bathtub, closed his eyes, and said, "Ru'er, let's begin."
"Yes"
Following Li Shuchen's instructions, Liu Ru added six drops of rose essential oil to the bathtub and then began massaging.
From the shoulders to the arms, the technique was skillful, and the force was gentle.
"Miss, how's the pressure?"
"Just right"
After replying, Li Shuchen let Liu Ru do as she pleased, offering no resistance and comfortably entering a world of blissful oblivion.
……
When Li Shuchen opened her eyes again, she felt refreshed and invigorated. The day's fatigue had vanished completely, and she felt energized, as if she had been injected with adrenaline. The rich scent of roses surrounded her, making her feel like a soft, sweet fairy. She was so beautiful that she wanted to burst out laughing.
Wait a minute, something's not right. Why isn't she in the bathtub? She's on the bed instead.
"Grapes, grapes"
"Miss, I'm here."
Grape ran to Li Shuchen's bedside.
"What's wrong, miss?"
How did I end up in bed?
Grape: "After Ru'er finished massaging Miss, she found that Miss had fallen asleep, so we worked together to lift Miss to the bed."
Li Shuchen looked at his homemade tank top and shorts and asked...
"Did Grape change the clothes I was wearing?"
"No"
"No? Then who changed it?"
"It's General Liang."
"Yu Ying? Where is she now?"
General Liang left after leaving behind a hairpin.
"Bring it to me and see"
Li Shuchen pulled on his coat, and Grape happened to pick up the hairpin.
It was a gold hairpin shaped like a bellflower. Li Shuchen felt its weight as soon as he received it, wondering how long Yuying had saved up to buy it.
However, this style doesn't look like something you'd find in a jewelry store; I wonder where she bought it.
Li Shuchen gently placed the bellflower hairpin into her vanity case, intending to use it to attract customers the next day.
"Grape, tell Uncle Xu and the others that the third meeting of the Happiness Inn will be held tonight at 7 PM."
"Yes, miss"
Grape came downstairs, and Li Shuchen opened the mahogany cabinet, taking out one bottle each of 5ml, 30ml, 50ml, and 100ml essential oils and placing them in a small wooden box.
I then opened the system store and selected several brooches featuring daisies, yellow chrysanthemums, and gorgeous red roses.
The red rose is the largest and most vibrant of the brooches, followed by the yellow chrysanthemum.
Li Shuchen carefully put the brooch away, waiting for the hour of Xu (7-9 PM) to arrive.
Grape: "Miss, it's almost 7 PM."
Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen picked up the small wooden box and went to the first-floor reception hall, where everyone was already seated and waiting for her.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting."
As Li Shuchen spoke, he sat down in the seat of honor and put down the mahogany box in his hand.
"Tonight is the third Happiness Meeting at our Happiness Inn. Let's get straight to the point."
First of all, let's welcome our two new employees, Young Master Liu and Miss Liu Ru.
"Welcome, Young Master Liu! Welcome, Miss Liu!"
Everyone clapped happily, very pleased with the arrival of Liu San and Liu Ru.
Li Shuchen: "Liu San and Liu Ru work as massage therapists at the Happiness Inn. Starting tomorrow, the Happiness Inn will launch the 'Living a Life of Debauchery' event, determined to elevate the Happiness Inn to a new level in the capital."
Now that the inn has risen in status, our clothing naturally can't be neglected. I personally designed new clothes for you, each one made to your liking, and they've already been made and brought back.
Send them some grapes.
