279. Zhuo Minghe Hasn't Come Yet
The next day, Lin Xi made breakfast. After Dabao and Erbao finished eating, he sent them to a private school to study, then packed up and prepared to leave.
The carriage was prepared by Jiang Yu. In order to express his gratitude, Lin Xi warmly invited her to Ping County for some fun, but Jiang Yu embarrassedly refused.
"You will definitely be very busy when you go back, so I won't cause any trouble for you."
Lin Xi did not force it and left Hai County with Sanbao and Sibao.
Of course, before leaving, Lin Xi couldn't help but visit Master Chen and Master Li, asking them to send someone to Ping County to inform her if they had any news about Shen Chen.
By the time we returned to Ping County, it was already evening.
Lin Xi did not take her children back to Chenyang Village, but went to the department store.
When she arrived, there were only a few customers in the department store. Xu Qizheng sent the customers away and went back to tidy the shelves.
After not seeing each other for many days, Xu Qi seemed to have become much more stable.
Lin Xi saw at a glance that there were not many red peppers on the shelves and said, "Is there no stock in the store?"
Xu Qi turned around and saw her, and was surprised and happy: "My boss, you are back!"
Lin Xi took the children in and asked them to go to the backyard first. Then he walked behind the counter and took out the account books in the drawer to read.
"How is the business going in the shop during my absence?"
Xu Qi hurried over and said: "Business has been relatively good these days, and the revenue every day is good. I remember it clearly. Every night, my brother and Xiaoze will come over to check the ledgers. But in the shop The stock is running out. The hotpot ingredients are pretty good and Jubaolou supplies them, but the red peppers are just the ones on the shelf. The rouge is almost sold out. I’m waiting for Boss Zhuo to deliver the other stuff. It’s almost sold out.”
After that, Xu Qi pointed to a few counters in the north. He scratched his head and said: "My brother collected those from a vendor who passed through Ping County to the south. The sales were not bad. Mainly because the store was selling them at that time. The goods inside were almost sold, so I had the courage to accept them. Boss, please forgive me."
Lin Xi glanced around and saw that there were flowers, smokers, spices, etc.
She hastily flipped through the account book and said, "You have done a good job, you have great ideas, and you haven't made any mistakes. How can I blame you?"
He couldn't rest at this moment, so Lin Xi closed the account book and put it away, saying: "My two children will stay here for now. Please prepare some food to eat with them. I have to go to the Treasure Building."
"Hey, boss, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the young master and the young lady." Xu Qi agreed immediately.
Lin Xi went to the backyard to talk to the two children, and then left to go to the Treasure Building.
The business of Jubao Tower is huge and there are many customers to deal with. Lin Xi is really not sure whether Xu Wu and Zhang Ze can handle it on their own.
Soon, Lin Xi arrived at the Jubao Building, but saw that the facade of the Jubao Building was deserted, with not many customers coming or going.
She stopped the carriage and went in. There was no one on the first floor and she didn't hear anything.
Lin Xi called out strangely: "Where are the people? Xu Wu? Zhang Ze?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the small door leading to the backyard by the stairs was pushed open, and someone walked out in a hurry.
Lin Xi looked back and saw that it was a young boy.
The other party was a little surprised to see her, and said happily: "My boss, you are back!"
Lin Xi asked: "Where are Xu Wu and Zhang Ze? Where are the others?"
When the clerk heard this, he quickly said: "Go back to the boss's house. Brother Xu and Zhang Ze took people to pick up the goods outside the county!"
"Receive the goods? What goods?"
Lin Xi randomly found a place to sit down and asked.
The waiter also quickly served a pot of hot tea, poured a cup for Lin Xi, and replied: "I don't know, I just heard that there are a lot of goods, so I took everyone away, leaving me to look at the shop.
They have been there for a long time, and they will probably be back in half an hour."
After hearing this, Lin Xi let him go and went to the backyard, took the key, opened the warehouse and looked around.
Almost empty.
I think it's the same as department stores. They are almost sold out and it's time to wait for restocking.
Lin Xi went to the accounting room again and looked at the account books for the past half month. It was clear that the handwriting was written by Zhang Ze, and the order was relatively clear. There were also a few sheets beside it, which said that there were more than a dozen orders received by Jubao Building during these days.
Pens are all big orders.
Lin Xi checked the account book while waiting for someone.
As the sky grew dark, Lin Xi watched, her stomach growling with hunger.
She put down her abacus, stretched her sore neck, and was about to go out to find something to eat when she heard footsteps.
Lin Xi raised her head and happened to see Zhang Ze running in excitedly from outside. When she saw her eyes lit up, she shouted: "My boss!"
Lin Xi sat back, "The guy said you all went to pick up the goods, what kind of goods?"
Hearing this, Zhang Ze resisted the thought of asking when Lin Xi would be back, and stood up straight and replied: "I ordered the food from a nearby vegetable farmer. The quantity was large, and the other party did not have enough manpower. And the previous brother Wang Shou asked someone to pass it on to us.
I received a letter saying that they have collected the red peppers that are needed this season, but they are very busy and cannot deliver them to the county, so they asked us to go to the official road outside the county to pick them up."
Lin Xi said in surprise: "Wang Shou and the others are still there??"
Zhang Ze shook his head, "Not really. When we arrived, we only saw a few large carts of red peppers, but we didn't see them."
Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought Wang Shou and the others hadn't left yet, so she was shocked.
Zhang Ze saw Lin Xi looking at the account book and said: "Sister Lin, there has been nothing major in the building for the past half month. The business is the same as before. However, these orders are from far away places. We need escorts to travel far away. Brother Wang Shou and the others are not here.
, we are not sure whether we should find a new escort caravan to escort us, so we haven’t decided yet.”
Lin Xi nodded, "I understand, you just keep doing it, I will take care of the other things."
After saying that, Lin Xi stood up and walked out: "Come with me to see the goods I brought back."
"yes!"
Zhang Ze raised his voice to greet him and followed Lin Xi step by step.
Lin Xi went out and saw Xu Wu instructing the men to move things on the car in an orderly manner.
He also knew that Lin Xi was back, and was mentally prepared. He was not as surprised as Zhang Ze and Xu Qi. He called Lin Xi with a smile and said: "My boss, during your absence, I finally lived up to your expectations."
Lin Xi looked at the guys working with satisfaction and said: "I understand, you are doing really well. There will be many opportunities for experience in the future, so take your time."
Xu Wu vaguely guessed what Lin Xi meant, his eyes brightened: "Yes, my boss!"
Lin Xi looked away and asked, "Where is Zhuo Minghe? Didn't he come?"
Xu Wu shook his head and said: "Boss Zhuo has never come, and I have never received a letter from Boss Zhuo."
Lin Xi couldn't help but be surprised. She remembered that Zhuo Minghe was almost here before she left, but why hadn't he come yet? Could it be that he was being chased like last time and had an accident?
