After running around for so many days, the capital was finally obtained, although it seemed easy, but Li Qi also spent a lot of energy.
The next day, at three o'clock in the morning, he got out of bed.
When they came to the store, Wu Xiaoliu and the Zhuzi brothers had already started work, although there were not as many customers who came to buy stinky tofu as before, but the three of them were still busy.
Because, there are not many such opportunities anymore.
Tonight, Uncle Zhang will deliver the last cart of tofu, a total of 1,600 yuan, which is also the highest output of his mill in a day.
Li Qi has no intention of ordering again, because there are many fewer customers now, so the 1,400 pieces of tofu delivered last night plus the 1,600 pieces of white pieces that will be delivered tonight are enough to last a few days.
In 7 days at most, the first batch of stinky tofu from Jade Xuan on the opposite side should be available, Li Qi knew that Cai Yuanwai would definitely bring down the price at that time, and he also served wine and food in his store, and the guests did not all run to Jade Xuan.
However, Li Qi has no intention of fighting with the other party for this piece of fat, and he has no capital to fight.
"Uncle Wu is early!"
Li Qi greeted Wu Furong, who was standing at the counter.
Wu Furong said hello to Li Qi, and then buried his head in the account again.
When Li Qi saw it, he was puzzled, how could there be so many accounts, and he couldn't stop counting all day long, shouldn't this old Wu do it on purpose for himself.
As everyone knows, today's bookkeeping method is not as scientific and advanced as that of later generations, and it can be done with a crackling click on the keyboard, and the probability of error is very small.
In ancient times, bookkeeping, that was troublesome, while dialing the abacus, there had to be a brush on the paper to write down, and the probability of error was extremely high, so it had to be counted several times, or even a dozen times, and the efficiency was naturally not flattering.
Li Qi said hello to Wu Xiaoliu and Brother Zhuzi again, and came to Aunt Cao's tea stall on the side.
Since Zuixianju began to sell stinky tofu, Cao Damiang's business has also risen with the tide, sometimes, Zuixianju is full, and those guests have to buy stinky tofu and run to Cao Damiang's tea stall to solve it, so that there are more customers on her stall.
As soon as Aunt Cao saw Li Qi coming, she immediately greeted her with a smile and said, "Little brother, what do you want to eat?" ”
"Two steamed buns!"
"Hey, wait a minute, I'll bring it to you right away."
After a while, Aunt Cao put two big steamed buns in front of Li Qi, and said with a smile: "Little brother, have you been busy lately?" ”
Li Qi smiled: "It's okay! Has your business been much better lately? ”
"Oh, thanks to the blessing of your shop, the business here is much better than before, and I am so busy all day that I don't even have a chance to breathe, but this is thanks to your owner not selling the store to the Jade Xuan." Aunt Cao covered her mouth and giggled, it seems that this period of time has indeed made her very happy.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Auntie, I advise you to find a helper, don't make money, people are tired again." ”
"The old man also thought about it, but in the past two days, there have been a lot fewer customers coming to your store, so I am afraid that when the time comes, there will be no business." Aunt Cao's small eyes flashed.
Li Qi knew that she wanted to find out the news from herself, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, follow our host, are you afraid that you won't have anything to eat." But that's it for the time being, after a while, you can hire a few more people to ensure that you make money and make a soft hand. ”
"That's that, old man remembers."
Aunt Cao nodded hurriedly, and said with interest: "Little brother, you eat slowly, the old body is busy." With that, he twisted his big ass and left.
Although Aunt Cao is a little philistine, she is not bad-hearted, and the steamed buns she makes are full of weight, so Li Qi also wants to help her.
After a while, Li Qi wiped out the two steamed buns, threw a few copper plates on the table, and walked leisurely towards the Drunken Immortal Residence.
Hey? Isn't that a peach?
Before he could take two steps, Li Qi suddenly saw Mrs. Qin's personal maid, Xiao Tao, walking towards this side.
When Xiao Tao approached, Li Qi hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Tao! ”
Xiao Tao was slightly stunned, and when she saw that it was Li Qi, she hurriedly saluted: "Hello Li Gongzi!" ”
"Good boy! Good job! ”
Li Qi waved his hand, glanced at Wu Xiaoliu, who was frying stinky tofu, and saw that his eyes kept glancing here, how could he still have the heart to fry tofu, hehe smiled, raised his voice and said: "Xiao Tao, you are here to find Xiao Liuzi." ”
"I'm not here for him!"
Xiao Tao pursed her lips and said, "It was Mrs. who called to deliver a message to Uncle Wu." ”
When Wu Xiaoliu heard Li Qi ask, he was first overjoyed, and then he heard Xiao Tao say that he didn't come to him, and the whole person was like an eggplant with frost, and he went down with impotence, and honestly fried stinky tofu.
When Li Qi saw Wu Xiaoliu's appearance, his heart blossomed, and he couldn't hold back a smile and asked, "Madam, is she okay?" ”
Speaking of which, he missed the lady Qin who had only met him once, but was so beautiful that she was bubbling.
Xiao Tao said: "Thank you Gongzi Li for your concern, Mrs. Qiē is fine." ”
"Well, that's good, Uncle Wu is settling accounts in the store, you go find him." Li Qi nodded and pointed to the store.
Xiao Tao saluted Li Qi and walked towards the store.
After Xiao Tao entered, Li Qi came to Wu Xiaoliu's side, patted him on the shoulder, and scolded with a smile: "You kid will let me go in first and get my heart back, and then I'll leave it to me for the time being." ”
Wu Xiaoliu was slightly stunned, reacted immediately, said a few words that were not nutritious, handed the spoon to Li Qi, and then hurriedly ran in.
"Hey, it's really sad to have such an apprentice who can't soak in the stall!"
Li Qi sighed, glanced at Chen Xiaozhu on the side, saw that he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and quipped: "What? Xiaozhu, you want to go in too? ”
Chen Xiaozhu fell, his face slammed, red like a monkey's buttocks, and shook his head like a rattle.
Li Qi shook his head with a smile, and found three virgins as apprentices, alas, it seems that he will have to be busy in the future.
Xiao Tao didn't stay inside for long, and after a while, she walked out, said hello to Li Qi, and left.
Wu Xiaoliu, instigated by Li Qi, finally got his head open, and became a plate of flower messengers with a cheeky face.
At lunchtime, Wu Furong pulled Li Qi to the side and whispered, "Master Li, Mrs. told Lao Yu to go to the house in the afternoon." ”
Li Qi nodded and said, "I know!" ”
"You know?"
Wu Furong was slightly stunned and asked, "The sixth son sued you?" ”
Li Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "Tomorrow is the last day of the fifteen-day period, Madame will definitely call you over first, find out some information, and discuss with you how to deal with me by the way, oh no, what kind of treatment should be used to entertain you." ”
Wu Furong heard this, and said with a wry smile on his face: "It seems that I can't hide anything from you!" ”
Li Qi's face was full of regret and sighed: "It's not, for example, what is the age of the lady, I have been thinking and meditating hard, but I have never understood it!" ”
The corners of Wu Furong's mouth twitched a few times, and he coughed a few times deliberately, but he didn't dare to continue the topic, and hurriedly asked: "Master Li, wait for Mrs. to ask, what should the old man say?" ”
Hey, I didn't expect this old Wu to be more old-fashioned when he spoke, but he was still more upright at a critical time.
Li Qi rolled his eyes and grinned: "You just tell the truth, but try to praise me as much as possible, anyway, just praise me to death, what is in the sky, there is no earth, a talent, suave, handsome and unstoppable--- hey, uncle, what kind of expression do you have--- am I not right?" ”
Wu Furong's old face was flushed, he gritted his teeth, didn't let himself laugh, and nodded: "Where, what Li Gongzi said is the truth." ”
"This is a must, how dare I deceive Madame, anyway, you can just tell Madame dozens of times about my wise and martial decisions and how to plan Cai Yuanwai's heroic deeds!" Li Qi's face was not red, and he said breathlessly.
Dozens of times?
Wu Furong suddenly gasped, stared at Li Qi blankly, and was silent for a long time!
