She delivered food in ancient times

Chapter 14

At this time, the introduction of too strong capital would easily make her lose control of Xiaotong's delivery, but she really lacked funds.

Lack of funds means not being able to recruit enough people. She can't always rely on the group of beggars, especially the good and bad of this group. Ji Xi and the others can believe it, but it doesn't mean that other beggar groups are worthy of trust.

Funds have severely restricted her follow-up plans, otherwise she wouldn't be in such a hurry.

However, Meng Qing still signed a long-term cooperation contract with shopkeeper Liu. Probably out of apology, shopkeeper Liu took the initiative to increase the unit price, adding two cents to the original basis.

In other words, Ji Xi and the others can earn 7 coins for a single order.

Over the past three days, Ji Xi and the others have sent out nearly [-] orders in total.

Income 2 taels of takeaway fee, and some tips.

扣去分给他们的，小同外面的账单上，共计收入1两200文，另收小费320+2钱银子+玉佩一块（十两银子往上）+600文+碎银5两

It can be said that the tips completely exceed the income, but these are all personal rewards for Ji Xi and the others.

As soon as Meng Qing and shopkeeper Liu put down their pens, they heard voices from outside.

Listening to the voice is Tianyuelou Xiaoer, Wang Er's voice.

It seems that there is something urgent.

"The shopkeeper, Mr. Meng. Someone from the county government is here, so let the two go there quickly." Wang Er's eyes were full of anxiety, obviously the official's visit made him think too much.

Meng Qing knew it well, presumably the county government was eager to know the result.

But shopkeeper Liu saw Meng Qing's unhurried look, and he also had guesses. He still remembered that the reason why he cooperated with Meng Qing at the beginning was because she pulled the banner of the county government. Now that I think about it, it is undoubtedly that matter. .

Facing the anxious Wang Er, the two of them were very calm and composed, and even Wang Er's originally anxious heart began to calm down.

"Where is the visitor? Take us there." After all, it was Tianyuelou's territory and people, so Meng Qing naturally didn't want to step in and wait for shopkeeper Liu to make the decision.

"It's in the lobby, waiting for you, the shopkeeper."

When Meng Qing and shopkeeper Liu came to the lobby, the first thing they saw was the obvious uniform of the servants, and the second thing they saw was Ji Xi who came back from delivering the order.

The eyes looking at her were full of worry, obviously the arrival of the government personnel made her worry.

Meng Qing's heart warmed, she nodded towards her, and shook her head again, indicating that she was fine and not a bad thing.

Let her not worry.

Seeing Meng Qing's gesture, Ji Xi's uneasy heart finally settled down a little.

Then he watched helplessly as Meng Qing and Shopkeeper Liu followed the man away.

A few times Ji Xi wanted to follow up desperately, but thinking of Meng Qing's eyes just now, her footsteps seemed to be stopped by something, and she couldn't move at all.

She can't be messed up, looking at Sister Meng Qing's calm expression, it must not be a bad thing, Ji Xi thought of the matter that Sister Meng Qing dared to go to the county government to do business by herself, and finally regained her former composure, not only that, she also To appease other people who keep sending orders back and hearing the news.

Such as Dabao, or stone.

Make sure that Xiaotong's delivery will not lose the chain.

In the county government office, after shopkeepers Meng Qing and Liu arrived, they realized that they were not the only people called by the government, but also many other shopkeepers or principals.

Meng Qing and shopkeeper Liu looked at each other, the government is making a big move.

Under the guidance of the guard, the two sat down.

Among them, Shopkeeper Liu's position is much higher than Meng Qing's. After all, Shopkeeper Liu's Tianyue Restaurant is considered a relatively iconic restaurant in Xiaotao County, while Meng Qing is at best a rising star.

But Meng Qing always felt that she would be brought here, the main reason was the idea two days ago.

Meng Qing sat at the end and looked carefully, and found that at least a dozen people had come, filling the room to the brim.

Among the first few, there was a woman.

This is also the only woman besides Meng Qing.

Looking at the logo on the clothes, it should be from Baixiu Pavilion.But it wasn't Zhang Zhangxiu who had met once.

As for the intention of the county government to summon them, everyone had their own guesses.

Only Meng Qing looked at everyone with interest, and confirmed the news in his heart by the way.

It's a pity that no one took her to socialize. Meng Qing guessed that it might be because she didn't get the exact news and felt uneasy.

Only Meng Qing regrettably wasted a good opportunity to socialize.

The only person who met Meng Qing's eyes was the woman representing Baixiu Pavilion.

As the only two women, the two of them looked at each other from a distance, feeling a little sympathetic to each other.

This was all made up by Meng Qing's imagination, but in fact, the head of Baixiu Pavilion just cast her a very cold look and then looked away.

Fortunately, the people in the county government didn't mean to let them go.

After Meng Qing and the others, several shopkeepers came, and after everyone arrived, Mr. Fang came with Mr. Liang and the master.

For the county magistrate of Xiaotao County, no matter who is behind the people present, at least face must be given.

"I've met you, my lord." All the business owners stood up and saluted Mr. Fang to show their respect.

"Everyone, please sit down. I have worked so hard to come here during your busy schedule."

This is the first time Meng Qing has seen Mr. Fang, and it is similar to what he imagined. He looks like a middle-aged handsome man, but he is very thin. Unhealthy white.

When sending Goudan and Huahua to study in the future, they have to make up for their bodies and exercise more.

Meng Qing's thoughts suddenly diverged.

Missed the previous few unimportant greetings.

When he came back to his senses, Mr. Fang happened to get to the point.

"I called you here today. To tell the truth, I want to ask for your help. I won't keep it secret. You all know that this year the north has suffered a lot of disasters. There have been a large number of refugees, and they are constantly coming towards us. How harmful are the refugees? , I think most of you know about it when you travel all over the world.

And my lord's task is to resettle these refugees. You all pay attention to harmony and prosperity in business, and you don't want the refugees to destroy your business. "

It has to be said that Mr. Fang speaks very well. In this way, resettling the refugees is not only doing things for the government, but also doing things for themselves.

Meng Qing saw the thoughtful expressions on many people's faces.

Obviously, Master Fang's words had no influence on them at all.

A shopkeeper sitting at the front seemed to have some prestige among the crowd, and said first: "I don't know what my lord wants me to do? The old man said this before, even the old man's shop can only recruit people." Just five or six people. If there are too many, it is really impossible to accommodate them.”

This complaint is also quite level.
