The Tang family has three restaurants in Jiangzhou City, two flower and herb trading houses, and a ready-to-wear shop.

Among them, the business of restaurants is the most prosperous.

Tang Chu had never been in contact with business in his previous life, but after all, he had been in charge of the Zou Mansion for decades, and the abacus had already crackled.

Hearing this, Tang Chu said, "Dad, I'll go with you to see those shopkeepers!" ”

Tang Fuchang was a little surprised, Tang Chu didn't like to learn to do business since he was a child, and every time he asked her to look at the accounts of a few shops, Tang Chu frowned.

Mr. invited a lot, but Tang Chu didn't learn anything.

Over time, Tang Fuchang gave up the idea of letting her study business.

After all, it is indeed not very decent for girls to show their heads.

"Chu Chu, you're not sick, are you?"

Tang Chu grabbed his father's arm, "Daddy, my daughter has really figured it out this time, instead of begging others, it is better to beg yourself!" ”

In the last life, she relied too much on Zou Shiyan, so that later the Tang family's property was taken away, and her father and mother didn't even have a place to put a tablet, and she couldn't get justice for her deceased father and mother.

God has mercy on her and lives again, she will never leave her father's side, and she will never let her father die on the street in vain.

Tang Fuchang nodded again and again, "That's the reason!" ”

Although Tang Chu is his daughter's family, Tang Fuchang has never had the idea of patriarchy, and his daughter's family also has to rely on herself, just like Tang Chu's mother.

The woman who has been thinking about her all her life is not so much that the Tang family is self-made by Tang Fuchang, but that it is the credit of his wife Zeng Guiqiao.

In the small tea hall, the shopkeepers of the six shops are all here.

Seeing Tang Fuchang's father and daughter coming in, everyone hurriedly stood up and said hello.

Tang Fuchang beckoned everyone to sit down and began to look at the accounts.

"Master Tang, the business of the restaurant has decreased a little recently, and it is always like this in August and September every year, you can take a look!" The first to be reported was the Tangdong Restaurant in the Dongcheng District of Jiangzhou City.

Tang Fuchang nodded, he knew about the light decline in business in August and September, and it was not unusual for it to be the case every year.

Tang Fuchang flipped through a few pages, felt that there was no problem, and was about to put down the account book, but saw Tang Chu stretch out a finger and come over.

"Dad, something is wrong with this silver!"

It is a flour expense, and the weather is hot in August and September, so it stands to reason that flour and other products will be less than in other months, but the cost of flour on the book is the same as in other months.

Tang Chu looked down the accounts again, and there were a few more expenses for buying 'ice cubes', which was not a small amount.

In her last life, she was in charge of the general's mansion, and every summer, the mansion would also buy ice cubes, but she remembered that such a big general's mansion only spent more than fifty taels of silver to buy ice cubes for the whole summer.

It can be seen that the price of ice cubes is not so high.

And in this account, the cost of ice cubes in August and September alone reached hundreds of taels.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately stepped forward with a smile, "Miss, you don't know, although the flour is less used in summer, we also have to prepare, and in October, the flour on the market will be difficult to buy!" ”

Tang Fuchang did not doubt him, nodded and closed the account.

The accounts of the other five shops were also presented one by one, and Tang Chu summarized that the profits of the three restaurants were good; The flower and herb trading houses are almost flat, and the ready-to-wear shops are losing some money every month.

After sending the shopkeepers away, Tang Chu pulled Tang Fuchang to sit down.

"Dad, there is a problem with the accounts of Tangdong Restaurant, the price of ice cubes is not so high, and the cost of flour is also very suspicious, in addition, there are several unknown accounts!"

Tang Fuchang didn't think that after his daughter mentioned it like this, he really saw something wrong.

He also noticed the few unknown accounts, but at that time, the shopkeeper Liu said that he had purchased the seasonings, which were too trivial and not listed them one by one.

"What do you think you should do?"

Tang Chu said seriously, "Dad, first of all, I want to find out about the sales of noodles to see if it is really as Shopkeeper Liu said, there will be a shortage every October, and secondly, I want to know the price of ice cubes, and then go to the restaurant to find the steward to check the number!" ”

If this shopkeeper really did something in private, then I am afraid that this person will not be able to stay any longer.

Among the three restaurants, Tangdong Restaurant in the east of the city has the best business, but it is not this one that is the most profitable.

This analysis gave Tang Fuchang the illusion that 'my family has a girl who has just grown up', how could he not know those accounts? But after all, when he is old, as long as there is no chaos on the surface, he will turn a blind eye.

I have experienced strong winds and waves, and I know all kinds of things in this world.

Looking at his daughter's enthusiasm now, Tang Fuchang is like seeing his wife Zeng Guiqiao.

The two parents discussed it and immediately set off.

There is only one ice cellar in Jiangzhou City, located in the north of Jiangzhou City, the boss's surname is Yao, his temper is not very good, because the business is hot in summer, so Boss Yao takes care of a lot of small workers, moves in and out every day, and is busy in full swing.

Before Tang Chu could get closer, he heard Boss Yao scolding in a loud voice, "Didn't you eat?" At your rate, the ice hasn't been sent yet, it's all melted into water! ”

"Are you a pig? Don't know how to move the ice up the truck? ”

"Will it go?"

“……”

Boss Yao waved a long whip in his hand, and a thin teenager was about to move the ice pack to the car, but someone tripped over it mischievously under his feet, and the young man's center of gravity was unstable and fell down, and the ice cubes on his back shattered into slag.

Boss Yao's face was red and his neck was thick, and he didn't think of a whip that was 'whoosh', and he whipped it the young man's back.

Under the thin fabric, it was immediately bright red.

He didn't seem to be angry, and stepped on the young man's face again, "Dog, mother's raised, do you know how much silver this bag of ice is?" You can't afford to pay for a year's work, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you......"

After that, another whip is about to be drawn.

Tang Chu finally couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward, and shouted, "Stop!" ”

In this place, there are very few women who appear, and they are still sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls.

Hearing this voice, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Tang Chu in surprise, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

The girl was wearing a green skirt, and her plain face was as white as a boiled egg, and the most amazing thing was the pair of eyebrows.

If Xiaojia Jasper is shy with eyebrows and eyes, then Tang Chu is the kind of heroic and flamboyant.

In the face of these strange sces, she did not feel the slightest embarrassment, and only said, "It's just a bag of ice, why bother to kill people?" ”

At this time, the young man who was beaten by Boss Yao also slowly raised his head.

That face, Tang Chu will never forget in his dreams.

Cold eyes, handsome facial features, alienated eyebrows!

Zou Shiyan!

When the boy saw her, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it quickly turned into a touch of disgust, and then he slowly lowered his head, as if he had never known her.

Tang Chu understood, Zou Shiyan must have thought that she came to this kind of place to embarrass him, and even thought that she was here to oppress people with money.

But it was only a brief surprise, Tang Chu looked away, she pointed to the broken ice on the ground, "I bought this bag of ice!" ”
