Chapter 55: I am a rich man now
"Yes! What's wrong?" Sheng Zhiyao asked in confusion.
Grandpa Ding shook his head and said: "Pile Street is the most prosperous street in the capital, and there are many noble people. What if you are bullied?"
Sheng Zhiyao laughed and looked at Grandpa Ding with a smile.
"Grandpa Ding, am I so easily bullied?"
"Why is it not easy? You are so young, let alone the daughter of the Hou family, who can tell." Grandpa Ding hit her without hesitation and said: "Those young ladies from rich families are not easier to bully than you, especially
Among the second-generation officials in the capital, which one is the most fuel-efficient? You'd better pay attention."
Sheng Zhiyao curled her lips and said unconvinced: "I'm not afraid! If they bully me, I can go to the emperor to complain!"
"Emperor? Can Your Majesty take care of this kind of thing?" Grandpa Ding broke into a cold sweat. How dare this girl think about it.
"I'll pull out his beard if you don't care." Sheng Zhiyao said confidently.
"Yes, yes, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes. You can pull out His Majesty's beard." Grandpa Ding waved his hand and said, "I'm just worried about you. You don't have to take it to heart. I'll just keep silent."
"Grandpa Ding, I know you are good to Zhiyao!" Sheng Zhiyao hugged Grandpa Ding.
Grandpa Ding was startled by the sudden enthusiasm, pushed her away in a panic, and coughed a few times in embarrassment.
Seeing this scene, shopkeeper Liu next to him burst into laughter.
"You girl, you are getting more and more naughty." Grandpa Ding scolded with a straight face.
"Grandpa Ding, smile, you are still young. Don't keep a straight face all the time. You will become ugly!" Sheng Zhiyao said with a smile.
Grandpa Ding was amused by her and couldn't help laughing: "You damn girl, just be poor."
With that said, he took out a string of Buddhist beads and handed them to Sheng Zhiyao: "This is for you. Although it's not a valuable item, you should keep it with you."
"Thank you so much, Grandpa Ding!" Sheng Zhiyao happily took it.
"Consider this my opening gift to you!" Grandpa Ding said with a smile: "If you need anything in the future, just come to me. As long as you are in the capital, I will try my best to help you get it done!
"
"Thank you, Grandpa Ding, I will do it." Sheng Zhiyao smiled sweetly.
Grandpa Ding patted her head.
"Okay, okay, I should go back to work." Grandpa Ding smiled and waved his hand and walked towards the stove.
"Then I'm going back too." Sheng Zhiyao stepped forward.
Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you to the door."
"Um."
Shopkeeper Liu sent her outside the door, watched her drive away in a carriage, and then turned around and walked into the shop.
Taking advantage of the shop's repairs during this period, Sheng Zhiyao needed to find some workers, but she had no experience in this area and had never hired anyone before. She really didn't know what to do.
When I was feeling worried on the carriage, Butler Li's voice came from outside.
"Miss, the medicine has been delivered."
"Steward Li, why are you going back now? Is there something that delayed you?" Sheng Zhiyao opened the curtains and asked in confusion.
"Nothing to do, I just helped the old Marquis buy some things."
"What does grandpa want to buy? Why don't you tell me, I can buy it for him."
"The old Marquis has already given instructions, telling you to take care of your own affairs first. He doesn't need your help!"
"Well, Uncle Li, do you have anything else to do here? Just give me a favor!"
"What do you need me to do next?" Butler Li asked respectfully.
"Uncle Li, how about you help me find some reliable manpower in the capital. They want to stay here for a long time. They don't have to go home. They just stay and work here. I will arrange their salaries. How about that?" Sheng Zhiyao said seriously.
"Well, isn't the lady talking about looking for someone to buy a few servants?" Butler Li was a little confused: "Miss, you think the current servants are not enough, and you want to buy more?"
Sheng Zhiyao shook his head: "No, I don't buy people, I hire them to do things. I want to train them to be my employees."
Hearing this, Butler Li was shocked: "Does the young lady have any requirements?"
"First find six female workers. They should all be around twenty-five years old, in good health, and preferably have a certain skill. The most important thing is that they must be loyal." Sheng Zhiyao said simply.
"Yes, Miss." Butler Li said respectfully.
"Oh! By the way, we still need a few handymen and a nanny."
"Yes, miss!"
"Uncle Li, you go ahead. You can take the silver from grandpa first, and then send him to the largest shop on Pingle Street." Sheng Zhiyao continued.
Butler Li nodded: "I understand." After saying that, he turned the horse's head and left.
Looking at Butler Li's leaving figure, Sheng Zhiyao sighed. Fortunately, she met Butler Li, otherwise she wouldn't know how to recruit people in this era.
Sheng Zhiyao returned to the shop, where Mei'er and Lan'er were busy.
The store has been basically cleaned, but there are still some odds and ends that have not been put away.
"Miss, are you back?" Meier ran over immediately when she saw Sheng Zhiyao, took the robe that Sheng Zhiyao took off, and put it on the table next to her: "Miss, please sit down."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Sheng Zhiyao smiled.
"Miss, why are you so polite to me?" Meier said with a smile.
Lan'er also came over, looked at Sheng Zhiyao and said, "Miss, please go back and rest early. Just leave this place to the slaves."
Sheng Zhiyao shook his head and said: "How can the two of you do it in such a big store? You are so exhausted. I can at least help here."
At this point, Mei'er and Lan'er had no choice but to compromise. After all, they had known their young lady's temper since they were young.
"You don't have to worry. Butler Li will bring the people I want later." Sheng Zhiyao said, "When they arrive later, you can go and greet them. These people's monthly salary is three hundred Wen. If
If you perform well, you’ll get a commission.”
"Ah, it's so good! Then they are making a lot of money?" Meier asked in surprise.
"Yes, miss." Lan'er also said: "If this is the case, then they will definitely fight tooth and nail."
"Haha, it's hard for them not to work hard. After all, not everyone can do such a high-paying job." Sheng Zhiyao laughed.
"Miss, if this is done, will our business be better?" Meier said.
Sheng Zhiyao nodded, she really thought so, because if this shop could succeed, she would be able to earn a lot more money.
Sheng Zhiyao looked around the store: "Is there anything missing in the store now?"
"If the workers want to live here, there will be a lot of shortages." Lan'er looked at Sheng Zhiyao with some worry.
"It's okay, I can prepare all these." Sheng Zhiyao said.
"But, that will cost a lot of money, right? Miss." Meier looked at her lady with some distress.
"It doesn't matter, I just paid for the drinks and I'm a rich man now." Sheng Zhiyao raised her eyebrows and patted the banknotes she had collected.
Mei'er and Lan'er looked at each other. They had never seen their master have any financial resources. This was the first time, but they still felt a little sorry for the money that their lady had finally earned. They hadn't warmed up yet.
It's time to spend it again.
Sheng Zhiyao looked at Mei'er and Lan'er again and said: "Those people will be found from outside later. We don't know the details yet. You must observe them carefully. If there are any problems, tell me in time."
, do you know?"
"Don't worry, Miss. Mei'er and I know that protecting Miss is the most important thing." Lan'er assured.
"Yes!" Sheng Zhiyao nodded: "You go ahead and do your work! I will call you when Butler Li brings someone here."
