The next morning, Nangong Xue came to the restaurant early to clean up, wipe the tables and stools, and boil hot water. After Kong Haoyu and He Xingpeng came, Nangong Xue reconciled the sorted accounts with the two of them one by one to make sure that they all understood clearly, Nangong Xue happily encouraged: "After two days of hard work, we are now net 1,100 taels, which is already a very good result, so this good start must continue to be maintained, and the two chefs have worked hard." After speaking, Nangong Xue bowed deeply to the two of them to show her respect.

Kong Haoyu and He Xingpeng were very happy when they heard that the result of their hard work in the past two days was so unexpected. Kong Haoyu hurriedly replied: "Xiaoxue, don't be so polite to us, this is the result of our joint efforts, and you also have credit." Let's work together in the future! After speaking, He Xingpeng also added: "The young master is right, if it weren't for Xiaoxue's great help, I'm afraid that He Xingpeng would still be worried about the debt problem, maybe this small restaurant will also be sold." You are truly my great benefactor. Don't be so polite in the future. Nangong Xue saw that everyone had said everything about this, so she didn't say anything more. Then Kong Haoyu added: "By the way, if the money in the first two days is useful to your family, you can use it first, I understand that it is not easy for you to raise a family by yourself." Xiaoxue, you too, use the money, you're polite. Isn't it just to solve your urgent needs by earning money? You're welcome. He Xingpeng nodded slightly when he heard this, and responded: "Well, I know." Nangong Xue also nodded and responded, "Okay." After explaining, Kong Haoyu twisted his neck, stretched his waist and said, "Then let's start work." After saying that, a few people opened the door.

In this way, in the following period of time, the restaurant business has never had a vacant seat for a day, as long as it is on the meal order, the customer flow can queue up for half a day. The business is so prosperous that the shopkeeper in the store is envious, jealous and hateful. But so what? The shopkeepers of other restaurants and restaurants in the surrounding area also understand that this is a chef. Whoever makes it delicious has to take it.

……

During the period when Jin Fuxuan's business was booming to the point of being out of control, Liu Yu and the others were worried, although some of the old diners in Phoenix Tower did not lose much, but the number of new diners decreased significantly. Liu Yu asked the account room, since the opening of Nangong Xue's restaurant, the income of Phoenix Building has undergone subtle changes, although there is not much loss at present, but it will always be a hidden danger in the long run. Liu Yu: They are all rough people, and they don't know anything about business calculations. After a few big bosses summed up, Liu Yu still felt that the most common and least disgusting behavior was used to increase customer flow, that is, a few big bosses went to the street to promote and solicit customers. Although it is a bit of a loss, it is better than being chased away by Chen Jiawei and being called a wanderer again. Liu Yu never wanted to live a wandering life anymore, hungry and full, walking on the verge of death every day, that terrifying feeling Liu Yu said that he didn't want to experience it once when he died.

In this way, a few old men found a person who wrote letters on their behalf to help write a stack of propaganda leaflets, Liu Yu distributed these lists to several of his subordinates, and instructed: "Brother take these to various urban areas, distribute them in all corners, remember not to make a fierce face to publicize, to give me a little joy, say something good, try to let more diners stay in our Phoenix Building, as long as the business of this Phoenix Building is good, our brothers can continue to live happily." Remember, you must not cause me trouble, or we will not be able to eat and walk around. Do you understand? ”

Several of Liu Yu's subordinates nodded after listening to Liu Yu's instructions, and responded: "It's the eldest brother, we will definitely do what you say." You can rest assured that you will not be in trouble. After hearing the response from his subordinates, Liu Yu waved his hand and motioned for them to do what they had to do. Then a few of his subordinates scattered to various urban areas to publicize. After they left, Liu Yu was left alone with Dazi, so Liu Yu and Dazi stayed in Nancheng while watching Nangong Xue's restaurant and distributing leaflets for publicity. It went on like this for a month, but it was still more or less effective, and after a month of hard work, Liu Yu found that there seemed to be a little more diners in the restaurant. In order to get a definite answer, Liu Yu also went to ask the account office, and learned from the mouth of the account room that the income of the restaurant in the past month was somewhat acceptable, and it was more or less a little profitable. When Liu Yu got this result, he was also overjoyed in his heart. At least he won't be scolded too much in front of Chen Jiawei. "Since this method is effective, let's continue to do it, hey, the only shortcoming is that it's a bit embarrassing. I really don't know when this is a head. Liu Yu muttered secretly in his heart.

……

……

Just when Liu Yu and they were busy for a month, Nangong Xue also after a month of hard work, finally saved enough funds for the reconstruction, Nangong Xue was so happy in her heart, after the day closed, Nangong Xue distributed this month's salary to several clerks, and in order to motivate them to continue to work hard in the next month, Nangong Xue also wrapped a big red envelope for everyone, and gave an extra eighty taels inside, Nangong Xue said to the clerk: "This eighty taels of red envelopes is a reward for you, You have also worked very hard in the past month, and I have seen it in my eyes, so I will not give you any shortages of this red envelope salary increase. You will find more in this first month's salary, because this first month is a beginning, as the old saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, this first month may be God's mercy on us so let me have a lot of money, which has exceeded my initial estimate, so I will pay you more in the first month, which is why the first month's salary you get is not thirty-five taels but seventy taels, I hope we can continue to work hard in the second month. Let's do it together. ”

After speaking, all the clerks present were moved by Nangong Xue's encouraging words, and they didn't know what to say, so everyone held Nangong Xue's monthly money and bowed deeply to Nangong Xue to express their gratitude. Seeing this, Nangong Xue smiled and nodded and persuaded: "Okay, okay, don't be like this, I, Nangong Xue, can't afford such a big gift, the money in your hands is all your hard-earned and deserved, don't thank me like this." It's closed early today, and you can go home early. After saying goodbye, the clerks said goodbye one after another, and Nangong Xue went back to their respective homes.

After sending off the clerk, Nangong Xue calculated everyone's dividends for the first month, and wrapped the calculated money one by one on the table, and then called Kong Haoyu and He Xingpeng over, and said: "Uncle He, Kong Fatty, the two packages in front of you are the dividends that everyone in front of us should get this month, Uncle He's share is three thousand six hundred taels, and the rest is me and Kong Haoyu's, each person is two thousand seven hundred taels." In addition, this is the account settled this month, you can all take a look, I gave some extra salaries to the twelve clerks in our store to motivate them to continue to work hard next month, so each person was given seventy taels of monthly money, and eighty taels of red envelopes were given to each person as a reward. The cost of consumables for the month and the cost of buying ingredients are also recorded here...... Nangong Xue told the two of them in detail about the things on the accounts, "And the first month of opening was also beyond my expectations, I didn't expect that even if all the expenses were removed, there would be a net profit of nine thousand taels." So according to what was said at the beginning, Uncle He will take 40%, and Kong Haoyu and I will take 30%. Is there anything else you don't understand about this account? ”

After listening to Nangong Xue's detailed explanation, He Xingpeng said humbly while allocating part of his share of dividends: "The two of you really take care of me so much, to be honest, I haven't done anything this month, I shouldn't take so much, otherwise we will all take the same, now let me take so much, I am a little ashamed." ”

When Kong Haoyu heard this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it: "Hebo, just take it, this is all something we have finalized at the beginning, since the words were said at that time, we have to fulfill the promises made at that time, how can we say that it will change now?" You are like this, you don't give me face, don't give people the dignified Kyoto Prefecture Inspector Envoy and the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Household Servants, Lord Middle, although I am also an official, but no one has the official character of Lord Nangong, so if you refute the face of Lord Nangong, it will be difficult to do. Isn't it, Nangong-sama? After speaking, he secretly squeezed his eyes at Nangong Xue. Then he shook his head slightly at He Xingpeng, signaling him not to shirk.

After receiving Kong Haoyu's signal, Nangong Xue also understood Kong Haoyu's thoughts, so she borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said: "What Kong Haoyu said is very true, Uncle He, you'd better not refute my face, otherwise I will be unhappy, and the consequences will be very strict." After Nangong Xue said this, He Xingpeng didn't dare to shirk anymore, so he accepted the dividend of three thousand six hundred taels and said: "Since you all said so, then I will accept it." Thank you so much. ”

Seeing that He Xingpeng finally stopped prevaricating, Nangong Xue and Kong Haoyu smiled again, Kong Haoyu turned his head and said to Nangong Xue: "Xiaoxue, when you need money for the renovation over there, why don't you take my one to use first, you will be busy with the renovation next month, presumably this month Huahua's side is estimated to have been completed, you two can sum up how to rebuild, I will manage the restaurant here, you can rest assured, Uncle He can also make some dishes now, and the craftsmanship is not bad, aren't the diners all very good?" So you can put a hundred and twenty hearts here, and we will definitely continue this month's good start in the future. ”

After listening to Kong Haoyu's words, Nangong Xue was very relieved, and said in her heart: "It is really a blessing to have a confidant in life, and what Kong Haoyu said is getting more and more distracted. Then Nangong Xue smiled and nodded, and responded: "Since you have said so, what reason do I have to refute your face, anyway, I can rest assured who will be handed over here." Then next month, I should go to work on the errand that the court gave me. Here, you two should bother more, by the way, your share of dividends will be recorded in the account first, and when my work is finished, I will return you with interest. Tell you not to contradict me, or I will sue you. ”

At first, Kong Haoyu wanted to say, "You don't have to pay it back", but when he heard Nangong Xue say that he wanted to sue, he didn't know who he would sue, so he was still a little worried in his heart, so he had to respond: "Okay, you can do what you say." How dare I refute your face, I can't afford to provoke you, you know this. ”

After speaking, Nangong Xue laughed twice and said no more. After dividing the red, the three of them closed the store together and went back to their respective homes.
