Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 370
Shopkeeper Hu of Penglai Restaurant is short and fat, and shopkeeper Liao of Xianming Teahouse is tall and thin. They are very easy to distinguish when they sit together.

"Boss, this is the account book of our restaurant." Shopkeeper Hu spread the account book in front of Shen Yuan with a smile on his face, looking at Shen Yuan with respectful but vaguely contemptuous eyes, what kind of shop does a teenage girl know how to manage? Words? Can you understand the ledger? It’s just a formality.

Shen Yuan didn't care about the gazes of the two shopkeepers, and started to look through the ledger.

Before, the business was sluggish with two or three tables a day, but yesterday it suddenly doubled, with a total of eight tables, and the turnover doubled.Looking at the accounts at the end of the month, almost every month, I have to pay 50 taels of silver, and I can't afford the rent.

After flipping through it, Shen Yuan closed the ledger and held it in his hand.

"Boss, this is the account book of our teahouse." Shopkeeper Liao also took out the account book.

Shen Yuan took it over and looked it over, the teahouse was the same as the restaurant, the business suddenly picked up last night, and before that, it was monthly.

The city of Lingzhou is as high as the sky and the emperor is far away. Isn't it up to them to decide whether the business is good or bad?
But it's impossible to fire them now, it's the same with anyone else, and to solve this problem, there must be an honest and reliable person to manage here.

However, if these two shopkeepers don't take a good beating, I'm afraid it will be difficult to manage them in the future.

Shen Yuan closed the account book and put it in the box: "Okay, you go back first, and I will check the account book carefully." Her voice was neither humble nor overbearing, neither urgent nor slow, showing maturity and stability.

Hu shopkeeper Liao shopkeeper quickly paid 500 taels of silver, and then signed a guarantee.

Shopkeeper Liao was also sweating profusely, kneeling on the ground and shivering.

"What~~ what?" Shopkeeper Hu and Liao shopkeeper's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Yes." Shen Yu'an looked a little dignified, "Zuixian Tower is just opposite Penglai Restaurant, and the Zhao family's business covers a wide range of businesses, and there should be a lot of inns and teahouses. If our business is a mess, it will steal their business."

At this time, Ji Xun said coldly: "The two shopkeepers have been greedy and quickly make up for the money, so that the boss may give you two a chance."

"The Zhao family? Zhao Mo?" Ji Xun said.

When Shopkeeper Hu and Shopkeeper Liao heard that they could continue to be shopkeepers, they were so grateful that they hurriedly got up from the ground and said honestly: "Okay, everything is under the orders of the boss. From now on, everything will be ordered by the boss."

Shopkeeper Hu hurriedly said haha: "This~~ Da Dong, the account book has to be kept, and this month's account has not yet been settled'

"Yeah, but since we have the handle in the hands of the big boss, and we have taken such a high monthly payment, then we should honestly calculate the accounts. If the business is not good and we lose money, we will not be in charge of it." The two said parting I got on the carriage and went back to the restaurants and teahouses.

"Since my husband said it, I will give you this chance." Shen Yuan leaned back in his chair, "Make up the stolen silver and write me a letter of guarantee, and you will still be the shopkeepers of Penglai Restaurant and Xianming Teahouse."

"In June, the purchase of chicken, duck, fish and other ingredients cost a total of 280 taels, and the running water was 260 taels~~ The total turnover of the co-author is less than the money purchased for the ingredients. Shopkeeper Hu, please explain carefully."

Shopkeeper Hu and Liao saw that she withheld the account book, and their expressions changed immediately.

"Starting today, the monthly money of the two shopkeepers will be tripled."

"Yes, big boss, then we will go back." Shopkeeper Hu and Shopkeeper Liao exited the inn, and they walked on the street, each wiping their sweat.

While eating noodles, Shen Yuan said: "The business here is very difficult. If there is no trustworthy person to manage here, people will end up working for nothing."

Shen Yuan thought for a while, and then said: "This problem is solved, but there is a bigger problem."

"Shopkeeper Liao, since you came here on your own initiative, you should know about Shopkeeper Shi's imprisonment." Shen Yuan stared at them coldly: "Now that you know why Shopkeeper Shi was imprisoned, you should understand why I withheld the account book.

"Shopkeeper Liao, do you still need me to look through your account book? You can know how much tea and melon and fruit snacks you have bought every month."

After hearing Ji Xun's words, shopkeepers Hu and Liao hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Master Dadong has a lot, as long as we don't go to jail, we will definitely make up for the money we embezzled."

They came in a hurry just now, didn't think about it, and they met Shen Yuan last night, thinking that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl could be fooled casually, so they took the account book honestly, they didn't expect that she would not repaid~~
How can this be done? It’s okay if you don’t check the books. Once you check the books, it will be ironclad evidence, and you will be imprisoned like Shopkeeper Shi.

Shopkeeper Liao replied: "Isn't it? The monthly profit is not so much."

"It's okay, go ahead."

"That's good. In this way, Yunlai Inn doesn't need to recruit a shopkeeper. When someone comes, they will directly take over the Yunlai Inn." After a pause, he continued, "When the time comes, make room and set up a Lingzhou branch of the Tianxia Commercial Bank ', take care of the business here."

"This~~this~~" Shopkeeper Hu broke out in cold sweat and couldn't say a word.

Ji Xundao: "There are trustworthy people, I will write to the capital and ask Wang Chang to find one."

Shopkeeper Liao also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, not only the account is out of order, but also many customers who are on credit have to take the account book to collect the account."

"Big boss~~" Shopkeeper Liao and Shopkeeper Hu's expressions changed drastically, and they plopped down on Shen Yu'an's knees, "Big boss, please check clearly, we honestly didn't get paid for anything.'
"Isn't it?" Shen Yuan slowly took the account book out of the box again, and opened the restaurant account book.

The two shopkeepers: After being dazed for a while, they hurriedly said with gratitude: "Thank you, Big Boss.

"This is indeed a trouble." Ji Xun also frowned, "A strong dragon can't beat a local snake, and the Zhao family is the local snake in Lingzhou City."

Shen Yu'an and Ji Xun didn't go out at noon, and cooked noodles in the backyard of the inn.

After Shen Yuan collected the account books, bank notes and guarantee letter, he smiled and asked them both, "How much is the monthly silver for the two shopkeepers?" "Seven taels of silver per month."

Shen Yuan said again slowly, "From today onwards, the monthly money of the two shopkeepers has been raised to 21 taels of silver, and as long as the business is good, there will be more in the future."

"The monthly fee is 21 taels of silver. Tsk tsk, I am afraid that this kind of salary is not available in the capital." Shopkeeper Hu's face was full of disbelief.

Ji Xun nodded: "Well, that's very good."

"Yeah, so let's put the business aside first, and let's talk about the reality of the Zhao family." After all, Shen Yuan offended Zhao Mo, let's see if the Zhao family will deliberately target her.

"I'll accompany Yu'an to deal with this matter well, and then I'll be busy with myself." After finishing the noodles, Ji Xun put down his chopsticks and brushed Shen Yu's hair that was hanging on his temples.

Shen Yuan looked at her man and smiled, "Okay, thank you husband." The two of them were talking when the man came in.

"Da Dong's family, Mr. Ji, the steward of the Governor's Mansion is asking to see you outside."
