Shopkeeper Hu of Penglai Restaurant is short and fat, while shopkeeper Liao of Xianming Tea House is tall and thin. It is easy to tell them apart when they sit next to each other.
"Big Boss, this is the account book of our restaurant." Shopkeeper Hu spread the account book in front of Shen Yuyu with a smile on his face. Although his eyes were respectful, he looked at Shen Yuyu with a hint of contempt. A teenage girl knows how to manage a store. ?Can you read the words? Can you read the account book? It's just a formality.
Shen Yuyu didn't care about the looks of the two shopkeepers and started to look through the account books.
Business used to be slow, with only two or three tables a day, but yesterday it suddenly doubled to eight tables in total, and the turnover also tripled. Looking at the accounts at the end of the month, almost every month, 40 to 50 taels of silver were charged for rent. Can't even afford it.
After looking through it, Shen Yuyu closed the account book and held it in his hand.
"Big boss, this is the account book of our tea house." Shopkeeper Liao also took out the account book.
Shen Yuyu took it over and looked through it. Like the restaurant, the business suddenly picked up last night, and it had been selling back every month before.
The sky is high in Lingzhou City and the emperor is far away. Shouldn't it be up to them to decide whether the business is good or bad?
But it is impossible to fire them at the moment. It would be the same for anyone else. To solve this problem, there must be an honest and reliable person managing here.
However, if these two shopkeepers don't give it a good shake, I'm afraid they won't be able to manage them in the future.
Shen Yuyu closed the account books and put them into the box: "Okay, you go back first, and I will check the account books carefully." Her voice was neither humble nor overbearing nor urgent nor slow, showing maturity and stability.
Shen Yuyu said slowly again, "From today on, the monthly salary of the two shopkeepers will be raised to twenty-one taels of silver. As long as the business is good, there will be more.'
Shen Yuehu and Ji Xun didn't go out at noon, but cooked noodles in the backyard of the inn.
Ji Xundao said: "There is someone trustworthy. I will send a letter to the capital and ask Wang Chang to find someone.'
"There's nothing else to do. You can go about your business."
"Shopkeeper Hu and Shopkeeper Liao, since you came here on your own initiative, you should know about Shopkeeper Shi's imprisonment." Shen Yue looked at them coldly: "Since you know why Shopkeeper Shi was jailed, you should understand why I withheld the account book. .
The two shopkeepers were confused for a while, and then they said with grateful expressions: "Thank you so much, boss.
"What?" Shopkeeper Hu and Shopkeeper Liao widened their eyes in disbelief.
After Shen Yuyu put away the account books, banknotes, and guarantee letters, he asked them with a smile, "How much silver do you two shopkeepers have per month?" "Seven taels of silver per month.'
"That's good. In this case, Yunlai Inn doesn't need to recruit a shopkeeper. When the people come, it will take over the Yunlai Inn directly." After a pause, he continued, "When the time comes, we will free up a room and set up a Lingzhou branch of Tianxia Commercial Bank. ', take care of business here."
They had just arrived in a hurry and didn't think about it carefully. In addition, they had seen Shen Yuyu last night and thought that a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old could easily fool her, so they honestly took the account book over. Unexpectedly, I won’t pay it back~~
How can this be done? It's okay if we don't check. Once the account books are checked, it will be irrefutable evidence, and he will be imprisoned just like Shopkeeper Shi.
Shopkeeper Liao also said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, not only are there no accounts, there are also many customers with credit cards who have to collect their accounts with their account books."
"Yes, boss, let's go back then." Shopkeepers Hu and Liao exited the inn and walked on the street, each wiping their sweat.
Shopkeeper Hu and Shopkeeper Liao quickly paid five hundred taels of silver and then signed a letter of guarantee.
"Yes, but since we have something in the hands of the big boss and we get such a high monthly salary, we should keep track of the accounts honestly. If the business is not good and the money is lost, it will not be under our control." The two said goodbye. Got on the carriage and went back to the restaurant and teahouse.
"In June, we spent a total of 280 taels to buy chicken, duck, fish and other ingredients. The total turnover is 260 taels depending on the turnover~~ The total turnover is less than the money spent to buy the ingredients. Shopkeeper Hu, please explain it well."
When Shopkeepers Hu and Liao saw that she had withheld the account book, their expressions suddenly changed.
While eating noodles, Shen Yuyu said: "Business here is quite difficult. If there are no trustworthy people to manage it here, your work will be in vain."
"Big boss~~" Shopkeepers Liao and Hu's expressions changed dramatically, and they knelt down towards Shen Yuyu, "Big boss, please be aware that we have not enriched ourselves.'
"No, right?" Shen Yuyu slowly took out the account book from the box and opened the restaurant's account book.
"This~~this~~" Shopkeeper Hu was covered in cold sweat and couldn't say a word.
At this time, Ji Xun said coldly: "The two shopkeepers have been greedy and quickly make up the money, so that the big boss might give you two a chance.'
Shen Yuyu thought for a while and then said: "This problem has been solved, but there is still a bigger problem."
"Twenty-one taels of silver per month. Gee, I'm afraid we don't even have this kind of wages in the capital." Shopkeeper Hu looked incredulous.
"This is indeed a trouble." Ji Xun also frowned, "A strong dragon cannot defeat the local snakes. The Zhao family is the local snakes in Lingzhou City."
"Shopkeeper Liao, do you still need me to look through your account books? You can find out how much tea, fruits and snacks are purchased every month."
Shopkeeper Hu hurriedly typed and laughed: "Here~~ Dadong, the account books still have to be kept, and this month's accounts haven't been compiled yet."
After hearing what Ji Xun said, Shopkeepers Hu and Liao hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The big boss has a lot of money. As long as we are not put in jail, we will definitely make up for the money we embezzled."
"Zhao family? Zhao Mo?" Ji Xundao.
Shopkeepers Hu and Liao shed tears of gratitude when they heard that they could continue to be shopkeepers. They hurriedly got up from the ground and said honestly: "Okay, everything will be done by the big boss. From now on, everything will be done by the big boss."
Shopkeeper Liao replied: "Isn't it true? The monthly profit is not that much.'
"Starting from today, the monthly income of the two shopkeepers will triple."
Shopkeeper Liao was also sweating profusely and knelt on the ground shivering.
Ji Xun nodded: "Well, that's very good."
"Since my husband has said so, I will give you this opportunity." Shen Yue leaned back in his chair, "If you make up for the stolen money and write me a letter of guarantee, you will still be the shopkeepers of Penglai Restaurant and Xianming Teahouse."
"Yes." Shen Yuyu looked a little solemn, "Zui Xian Restaurant is opened opposite Penglai Restaurant. In addition, the Zhao family's business is extensive, and there should be many inns and restaurants. If our business is flourishing, we will take away their business. .”
"Yes, so let's put the business aside first and explore the truth of the Zhao family first." After all, Shen Yuyu has offended Zhao Mo. Let's see if the Zhao family will deliberately target her.
"I will accompany Yu Yu to handle this matter, and then I will be busy with my own business." Ji Xun finished eating the noodles, put down his chopsticks, and helped Shen Yu Yu tuck the strands of hair hanging on his temples.
Shen Yuyu looked at her man and smiled, "Okay, thank you husband." While the two were talking, the man came in.
"The boss, Mr. Ji, and the steward of the Governor's Office are outside asking for an audience."
