Chapter 81
After reading the letter, Gu Xiaobei put it away, wondering what kind of business Shangguan Shijin was going to do in the capital, and why did he take so long?
"What are you thinking about so obsessively?" Bai Qingli came down from upstairs with Xiaobao in his arms, seeing Gu Xiaobei's blank look, couldn't help but tease him.

Gu Xiaobei glanced at him, went to the counter and opened the cabinet, took out a bag of silver and handed it to Bai Qingli: "You have also invested some money in the restaurant, I have already calculated the dividends for this month, you will also help me during this time." I also know the account of the restaurant when I do the accounting, so you can calculate the dividends I calculated for you, right?"

"Do you really want to have such a relationship with me?" Bai Qingli immediately became annoyed, and said in a neutral manner. In fact, Gu Xiaobei didn't say anything, he had already forgotten that he had invested in the restaurant.

"Where do you want to go? This money is what you deserve. If I was born, I would not only give you dividends. You help me manage the restaurant these days, and I should pay you. Do you still say that I am born?" " Gu Xiaobei said.

Bai Qingli knew that if he really dared to say that she had a birth share with him, Gu Xiaobei would really have to pay her, which was not what he wanted, so he didn't dare to say the word "birth share" anymore.

"The money was just to help you. In fact, I didn't really want to use it as an investment. If you really gave me the dividends, I would be offended. I would be unhappy, and besides, I don't lack money to spend. "Bai Qingli pushed back the money in Gu Xiaobei's hand, then turned around and carried Xiaobao to the door to play.

Gu Xiaobei stared blankly at the money in her hand. She felt that she really didn't understand Bai Qingli. Although he was only a master in the village and didn't have many repairs, he never seemed to be short of money. Gu Xiaobei always thought that he was gnawing Old Ben, but it doesn't feel like this.

No matter how much money he has, there will always be a day when he finishes eating it, but Bai Qingli spends money lavishly. A set of robes on his body is worth dozens of taels of silver, and he often buys new clothes. So many expenses, not to mention other consumption.That's why Gu Xiaobei felt that this didn't seem like he was eating his laurels, but he didn't seem to have any real estate in Ziyuan County, so where did his steady stream of money come from?
Although Gu Xiaobei was puzzled, it was Bai Qingli's privacy after all, and she would not ask if he didn't tell her. She respected his privacy, and when she felt that Bai Qingli wanted to tell her, he would tell her, and if he didn't want to tell her, he would just pretend I don't know, anyway, the two of them haven't written a word yet.

Feeling that Bai Qingli didn't treat her honestly was actually one of the reasons why Gu Xiaobei said those words to him at the entrance of the clinic just now. Although she always persuaded herself to respect his privacy, deep down she still wanted to Know everything about Bai Qingli.

Gu Xiaobei put the money back into the cabinet, she really didn't dare to force Bai Qingli to accept the money now, if she did that, she would definitely annoy Bai Qingli, since he didn't want her, she would invest in the restaurant again for him to earn more The dividends, wait until the day he needs to give him, if he doesn't need it, forget it.Sometimes she really doesn't know what to do with Bai Qingli, he looks very casual, but if he is stubborn, it is really helpless.

Although there are still two days to be enough for a month, but now that the accounts have been settled, Gu Xiaobei decided to pay the wages in advance, so she called the people from the restaurant to collect the wages.

"Boss, there are still two days left to be enough for a month? You paid us so early?" Zongzi said with a smile.

"Early and late are all sent, two days in advance, you can spend it." Gu Xiaobei said indifferently.

"The little boss is so kind!" Some bosses who work in other places still delay paying wages, but Gu Xiaobei pays them ahead of time, and everyone is overjoyed and very happy.

Gu Xiaobei also paid them the two employees and the chef who had just arrived for a few days.

The net profit of the restaurant this month was 800 taels, and the wages of several people and the rewards went to 60 taels of silver in total, and after deducting the dividends from Bai Qingli and Shangguan Shijin, there were about 500 taels left.Gu Xiaobei looked at the account book in his hand and narrowed his eyes with a smile. After working so hard for so long, he finally no longer has nothing.

Gu Xiaobei looked up and saw that Chen Jiu was still standing there with a hesitant look. Gu Xiaobei couldn't help but wondered: "Uncle Chen, what's wrong with you?" Still standing there?
Surprised, Chen Jiu shook his head and said, "It's okay!" Then he went into the kitchen to work.Gu Xiaobei looked at his back suspiciously and shook his head, this Chen Jiu was sometimes weird.

Soon it will be time for dinner, and everyone is busy again. Bai Qingli is taking care of Xiaobao while keeping accounts. Research new dishes at an empty table.

At the end of the night, the business was closed and the door was closed, and the two went back together.

In the next few days, the operation of the restaurant was going smoothly, and the busy farming was slowly over, Bai Qingli went back to the village to teach the children to read as usual.But Bai Qingli was worried that Zhao Chong would come to trouble Gu Xiaobei again, so he told her to send someone back to the village to find him if something happened.

Gu Erye was seriously injured and needs to continue to recuperate, but Gu Sanlin has recovered a lot and can walk around slowly.Gu Sanlin had long felt that he was going to get moldy lying down, and wanted to go to the restaurant to help out as soon as he was able to go to the ground, but Gu Xiaobei refused to let him, and asked him to raise it for a few days before he was fully recovered.

Coincidentally, as soon as Bai Qingli stopped going to the restaurant to help, that Zhao Chong came to the restaurant again.

"Little girl, can you think about it again, our mansion really needs a good cook." Zhao Chong's tone this time was much better than last time, it was no longer commanding, but rather pleading.

"There are so many good chefs in the world, why do you have to find me?" Gu Xiaobei was puzzled. Although she didn't plan to go, since he talked with him in a good way, she no longer rejected her so much, but wanted to ask clearly. See if I can give them an idea. After all, being convenient to others is convenient to oneself. Maybe one day she may need help from the other party. After all, it is easier to travel when there are more friends.

"My Zhu family is preparing a big banquet for some high-ranking officials and wealthy people in Rongcheng. This banquet is very important to our Zhu family. We must not be sloppy at all, and the girl is the latest famous chef in such a radius. I decided to invite you to be the chef, and I want to make this banquet a good one." Zhao Chong said.

Gu Xiaobei thought for a while and said, "That is to say, you don't need me to be a chef for the rest of your life, but only for a few days when you entertain the rich and powerful?"

"That's not the case. Our mistress' intention is to let the girl go to the mansion to be a chef, so that not only can the masters in the mansion eat delicious meals every day, but also there is no need to find a good chef for any banquet in the future." Seeing that Gu Xiaobei seemed a little shaken, Zhao Chong hurriedly said.

"When will you hold this banquet?" Gu Xiaobei frowned and said, feeling a little disgusted by the first reason. If you want to eat delicious food every day, you have to force others to cook for you?This is too much.
