Chu Yue hurriedly smiled and stepped forward: "Miss Ruling is here?" ”

Ruling is a smart person and knows what Chu Yue means, so when she went out this time, she knew that she was going to make a sensation in the audience, and she never covered up half a point, she didn't bring a hat or a veil, but she kindly stretched out her hand and took Chu Yue's hand to hold her hand: "Yes, it's here." ”

While she was about to enter the door, she looked around, seemingly greeting Chu Yue, but in fact, every word had a meaning: "Since the last time by chance, I used your store's pearl powder, you see, the acne on my face that was caused by gluttony and spicy a few days ago is not all good?" ”

"Ah, really!"

Chu Yue staggered slightly, trying to let the people around her see the smooth and delicate face of Miss Ruling: "The girl's complexion looks good, although I dare not say that it is all due to the rouge gouache of our shop, but the girl's appearance in the city, if you don't use this good thing to match, I'm afraid it's a pity!" ”

"Thanks for the compliment."

Miss Ruling is used to acting on the spot, she stood at the door and even paused for a moment, touched her cheek, and then continued: "I know that you are open, and I want to choose some more favorite things when I come here today, and I hope that the shopkeeper will give me a few more discounts!" ”

Chu Yue almost smiled and signaled to Yao Qingyan: "Shopkeeper, take Miss Ruling in." ”

After the play was over, Chu Yue heard that the people around her really began to praise: "Won't it? Is that Miss Ruling? Miss Ruling also used their things? ”

"Isn't it? Didn't you listen to them? The acne on Miss Ruling's face is all healed, and today she is using their rouge gouache! ”

"Ah, what a good thing they have! No, I have to go back and call my sister-in-law to come over and see what Miss Ruling buys, let's buy it, there will be nothing wrong with it! ”

……

All of a sudden, the door of the shop seemed to be boiling.

Everyone flocked to their door, a little bit about to break through the threshold.

Not long after, even the maids and wives of the executives' mansions who had disappeared early this morning came, and they thought that the things they had prepared were enough, but now they looked...... I'm afraid I won't even be able to survive the afternoon!

But fortunately, they are in trial operation today, and it is better to close the store earlier, so that these people who come to buy things know that their goods are in short supply, and they will always remember it in the future, which is the long-term solution.

But as the number of people increases, one of the biggest problems becomes apparent: they are not manpowered.

Most of the people who come here to buy things are female dependents, so big men like Xie Siyun and Zeng Haiqi are naturally useless.

The three people recruited yesterday can still help, but they have not undergone systematic training, at most they have memorized what is the price of what they are, what they can do, and no matter how profound the questions are, they always have to be answered by Yao Qingyan and Chu Yue.

Especially in the early moon, from the beginning of the visitor, he was so busy that he didn't even have a sip of water.

On the one hand, I have to deal with the people who come to buy things, and on the other hand, I have to try my best to protect the safety of Miss Ruling, so as not to let people get close to her, and it is enough to earn fifty taels of silver directly, but I am really tired and have no happy feeling at all.

Finally survived until the afternoon, most of their goods were not fully supplied, and all the pearl powder they brought was sold out, and even the rouge gouache that was urgently transferred from the village yesterday was also sold out, and they sent away the distinguished guests and Miss Ruling with great gratitude, and the first moon was able to breathe, and the whole person sat on the chair and couldn't move, and even his voice was hoarse: "Qingyan, what is our turnover today?" ”

This strange word is the first time I've heard of it, but this time Yao Qingyan understands it.

Flipping through the messy account books, he looked up dumbfounded: "Yes...... There are a hundred taels up! ”

Because all their rouge gouaches have medium, high and low grades, and the prices are different, so they will have such a high income. You know, you can earn a hundred taels a day, but not every day has such a grand occasion! It's just that because of the momentum in the early part of the first month, they sold almost a month's stock in the ordinary rouge gouache shop, but in fact, it will always be better to have a long stream in the future.

Zeng Haiqi and Xie Siyun, who had finished cleaning up later, also came to the court a little tired, and happened to hear them talking.

Zeng Haiqi didn't care about the fatigue of Shenhang, ran towards them, and took away the account book in Yao Qingyan's hand, and the expression of the whole person was exactly the same as that of Yao Qingyan: "No...... No way?! More than one hundred taels?! Just one day?! ”

Chu Yue sat up, took the tea handed by Xie Siyun and drank it, only then did she feel that her throat was slightly better: "Don't be happy too early, it's just because we have just opened, and we won't have this kind of situation every day in the future." And if you really want to do a good job in the future, it's better to do a long run. ”

At this time, even Zeng Haiqi, who was unpleasant to see Chu Yue everywhere, nodded his head in a matter-of-fact manner, and for the first time in such a long time, he agreed with Chu Yue's decision: "Yes, yes, yes, the gun shoots the first bird, this number is too amazing!" Let's take our time in the future. ”

"What's an amazing number?"

As soon as Zeng Haiqi's words fell, a man's voice that seemed to be a male duck barking came from the door: "Yohe, it seems that I came at the right time, don't you just have the account book in your hand?" Come on, let me see! ”

Chu Yue turned her head and saw a person in an official uniform standing at the door.

I don't know so much about the uniform system of the dynasty, but I see that it is a person from the yamen. The pot-bellied and greasy man looked like a civil official, but he was accompanied by a team of men and horses, armed with swords, and obviously not a good person.

Although the man said that he wanted the account book, Yao Qingyan saw the person, but he vigilantly hid the account book behind him, and stepped forward with a smile: "Ah, isn't this Lord Bo?" What kind of wind brought you out to our little shop? ”

Oops!

The chief secretary of the government is mainly responsible for managing accounts and some trivial matters with real power. He came over with a team of men today, and Hatsuki had already roughly guessed what he was here for.

Sure enough, the master Bo unceremoniously went to the middle of the hall and gestured to the account book in Yao Qingyan's hand: "I heard that your business is very prosperous today!" As a local parent, I naturally wanted to come and take a look. How's it going, aren't you going to show it to me? On this day, how many silver taels did you earn? ”

Yao Qingyan obviously didn't want to argue with him, and wanted to protect the account book, so he simply stepped forward in the quickest way and stuffed a small bag of silver taels into the master's thin hand, and then smiled: "Do you have any instructions?" ”

The master Bo gently weighed the money bag as much as he could, and then nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then let's get down to business." I was ordered to collect taxes. ”

Really!

In the end, the government is like a leech that eats people and does not spit out bones.

Yao Qingyan's face also changed, and he only knew that he was stupid: "What is Lord Bo talking about?" Our taxes have been paid at the beginning of this year, and we have never been in arrears! This is ...... Where's the tax? ”

The master took the money, and although he didn't give them any convenience, he nodded towards the next street: "Some people say that your business is very hot today, and there are also regulations in our city that the poll tax of the store is calculated according to the proportion of customers entering the store that day. If you have more people here, you will naturally collect more taxes. ”

He slapped Yao Qingyan in the face: "That's it, for the sake of you who have always been obedient, I won't read your account book." Just give me this number, and I'll take the team and leave. Otherwise, if the number I have heard is more than twice as high, what do you think? ”

Looking at this slap, Yao Qingyan was very embarrassed: "Lord Bo, our small business will open on the first day today, five taels...... Is it too much? ”

Five taels of silver is the income of a laborer in an ordinary person's family for a month.

The lord Bo smiled and shook his head: "It's not five taels, it's fifty taels!" ”

Fifty taels?!

Chu Yue suddenly raised her head, and was a little frightened by this number: I'm afraid that even Leping Village can't grab fifty taels of silver every day!

The silver taels of this dynasty are still very valuable, one tael is about three hundred yuan in modern times, and fifty taels is fifteen thousand yuan!

The government is not collecting taxes, it is clearly grabbing money!

But obviously, if they want to continue here, they have to pay this money.

Yao Qingyan glanced at Zeng Haiqi, and saw that Zeng Haiqi was slightly bowed, and agreed.

No, absolutely not!

Chu Yue had other plans in her heart, and she also stepped forward boldly and blessed the lord: "My lord, otherwise...... A little more leniency, right? Our small shop always wants to continue, if we are killed with a stick today, we won't be able to come up with so much money tomorrow! It's better for the official to let us go, and filial piety will be indispensable in the future! ”

Chu Yue's words are very ingenious and obedient, and retreat is advance.

It made the lord Bo Duo look at the early moon twice: "Yo, this lady is very good at talking!" It also seems to make some sense! ”

He stood up, smiling without smiling, and naturally understood Chu Yue's thoughts: "But it's not up to me to decide how much to set for you." The amount of money set at the top, I didn't finish it, and I had to go back to the board. Could it be ...... Can the lady take the board for me? ”

"I'll replace, I'll replace!"

Before Chu Yue could speak, Zeng Haiqi stood up angrily: "No matter how many boards you have to suffer, I have rough skin and thick meat, I can replace it!" ”

What a reckless man!

Chu Yue was a little crying and laughing at the man.

Xie Siyun on the side also pulled Zeng Haiqi and signaled him not to speak, and then raised his eyes and said to the master: "The villain has an idea, it's better to ...... Let's take three things and two today. The rest went next door, they opened the door earlier than us, and I heard that the purchase of the entire Dongzhou City official family, the Duchess and the Lady, was in their house! They earn more than us, and they can naturally solve your urgent needs. ”
