At the beginning of the dinner business hours, affected by the opening at noon, the attendance rate of the dinner was very good, and the unitary time was only more than two quarters, and most of the seats were full, Xiangru did not come out to greet the guests before the business, and Xiang Fei was always taking care of it from the time of the unitary time to the time of Hai. This dynasty because of the ban on the opening of the sea, the goods are rich and the economy is prosperous, so the night market is opened, and many restaurants and restaurants are doing business in the middle of the night or even all night, but the two streets before and after Xiangru's Wuwei Restaurant are located because they are high-end shops, the business will not be so late, and the restaurants and restaurants will close after dinner.

Since she also opened on this street, Xiangru is naturally as good as a stream, anyway, the 'medicine' restaurant advocates punctual work and rest and a healthy life.

Sent away the last table of guests, the guy installed a row of 'doors', bolted from the inside, the cook brought out dinner, two hours without stopping, everyone was tired, Xiang Fei casually dragged a chair and sat down, 'rubbing' 'rubbing' smiling stiff face and beating away the sour 'legs', the eldest young master is used to it, there are cars and horses in and out, it is rare to consume physical strength like today.

After resting for a while, He Xiaojie came over and invited Xiang Fei to go to the back for dinner, and Xiang Fei briefly told Xiangru about the business of dinner, and how much turnover there is today will not be known until tomorrow's shopkeeper counts.

After eating this late dinner, Bai An and the others went out from the kitchen courtyard, went around to the West Lane, drove the carriage to the 'door' of the back street, and picked up Xiang Fei to return to the Xiang family's mansion. Before leaving, Bai An told Xiangru to let her 'get the kitchen leftovers' right, there were many beggars in the alley of the kitchen yard 'door' digging for leftovers in the buckets, and they drove them away when they went out, but they would definitely come back tomorrow.

Xiangru immediately asked He Xiaojie to ask the guys to move the wooden barrel into the yard, don't put it outside to provoke beggars, otherwise they will have to clean up the alley by themselves.

After sending Xiang Fei away, everyone cleaned up the house and washed and slept one after another, and got up early the next day to welcome the new day's business.

The shopkeeper took advantage of the time before the morning business to count yesterday's business, and gave the account book to Xiangru, who copied the numbers separately, and when she rested after a while, she drew the numbers into a histogram in the study.

Although he has lived in this world for almost ten years, he is still sensitive to Arabic numerals in his soul and prefers intuitive data reports rather than text versions of business records.

Osmanthus 'flowers' were waiting beside me, and I saw Xiangru drawing some strange lines with charcoal and rulers on the big white paper, which I couldn't understand at all.

"Girl, what are you drawing? I can't understand it? ”

"This is a painting for me to see, you have to understand it, isn't it strange?" Xiangru lowered her head and wrote the date in the blank space of the white paper.

"Girl, why do you have to draw this yourself? Wouldn't it be nice to just look at the accounts compiled by the shopkeeper?

"I'm dizzy to see that, let's leave it to the big boss to see, I'll just use my own way, anyway, the numbers are copied from the ledger."

"The girl really has you, and she can create a code text that only she can understand, which is confidential enough."

"It's okay, just for the convenience of the stats."

"What?" Gui 'Hua' didn't understand the last few words.

"It's nothing, the buyer and seller have to calculate the monthly, quarterly, and annual accounts, and when the time comes, those numbers will be even more dizzying, and it will be more refreshing to draw a picture, I am not like Xiang Fei who has been influenced by the family, I can only use my methods to take care of the business."

"I can see it, the girl is just different from others, she has special ideas, obviously she has never done business, but her ideas are a set, even the third young master admires it."

Xiangru smiled disapprerovingly, and casually put the charcoal into the charcoal box on the desk, "It's strange, how do you know that Xiang Fei admires?" What did he tell you? ”

"How can the third young master talk to us, I can't see it, the girl didn't pay attention, every time the girl talked to him, he looked at the girl and listened very seriously, but unfortunately the girl never looked at him."

"When I signed the contract, I agreed that the business would belong to me, and he would provide the shop and assist from the side, so naturally he would only listen to what I said. When the other party is talking, looking at the other party and listening carefully is a sign of politeness, osmanthus 'flower', what you said can only mean that he is a well-educated son. ”

"Huh? That's it, huh? "Osmanthus 'flowers' are so disappointed.

"Or what do you think?"

"No, I'll tell you." Osmanthus 'flower' scratched her head embarrassedly.

"Don't be 'messy' and think about it, we met on the street that day, and Bai An said that his young master has a marriage contract, so you don't have to take the people below to arrange any 'mess'." The implication in the words of osmanthus 'flower' is that Xiangru understands it too well.

"Yes, don't dare anymore."

"Osmanthus 'flower', now it's 'spring', I don't know that the young 'girl' is pregnant with 'spring', if you want to marry someone and say it, I can ask someone to help you find a good mother-in-law, so you don't have to be single with me for the rest of your life." Xiangru was telling the truth.

Osmanthus 'flower''s face changed greatly, and she knelt on her in fear, "Girl, I know that I am wrong, I don't dare anymore, beg the girl not to drive me away!" ”

Now Xiangru was confused, "I didn't say that I wanted to drive you away, I just let you seize the opportunity by yourself, marry if you can, what's the point of following me as an old girl." ”

"Girl, I'm not married, I'd rather be an old girl for the rest of my life and accompany the girl, beg the girl to forgive me, I don't dare to think about 'messing' and making up stories anymore!" The osmanthus 'flowers' are about to cry.

Xiangru frowned, knowing that the osmanthus 'flower' was screwed, but now she couldn't listen to the explanation of the osmanthus 'flower' in this situation, so she had to wave her hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, just know the mistake, go down, go down, go out and blow the wind to calm down, and ask Sanni to bring me a cup of tea." ”

"Yes, thank you, girl." Osmanthus wiped her eyes, lowered her head and hurriedly exited the study.

Sighing, shaking his head, he turned back and took a book from the bookshelf and sat under the window to read, and soon after Sanni crept in and put down the teacup and quietly retreated, until the kitchen began to prepare dinner before Youshi, Xiangru did not leave the study.

Xiang Fei was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the afterglow of the sun and the cool 'spring' wind, and with his eyes closed, he saw Xiangru come out of the house, went straight out of the corner 'door' and went to the kitchen, and gently beckoned Guo Jin, "See, right?" The second owner has a big temper, it's okay to provoke her, what do you say, what should you do, you can't be the master, come back and tell me, I'll deal with it, don't dismiss her face to face. That osmanthus 'flower' has been with her for a year, and I don't know what's going on in the afternoon and came out with my eyes, just now the second owner came out, did you see her expression? It's still not good. ”

"Yes, I understand, young master. The second owner is also a good hand in business, and the idea of this discount coupon she came up with has been inquired with me in the past two days, and many people have said that only 100 tickets per solar term are too little, and I hope we can send more. ”

"Well, many guests have also mentioned this to me, how did you go back to the house?"

"Just as the young master told me to go back, our menu is changed according to the solar terms, the timeliness is too tight, it is not suitable to send too many discount coupons, if you like each solar term to come over as soon as possible, the painting on the discount coupon is specially drawn by an expert, and each solar term can be obtained early."

"Yes, let's just say that, try to lead the topic to the picture on the discount coupon. The old man of the Duan family is dying, the old man kicks his 'legs', and the concubines and concubines will definitely be driven out of the Duan family, Duan Shuwei can only paint, he has always been the Duan family's show-off tool before, and the Duan family is doing this again, as soon as they give an order, Duan Shuwei and the three of them will have a difficult life. If one of our diners is interested in his paintings, it's a way to make ends meet. ”

"Yes, I know how. It's just, young master, do I think I should talk to the second owner about this? We will be watching here for a few days, and the business in the future will mainly be managed by the second owner. In addition, I was thinking that the young master knew a lot of people, and he could send some discount coupons from the second owner's hand to our foreign guests in Beijing, and if any of them liked those paintings, we would introduce Duan Gongzi out, which was better than guarding here alone. ”

"It's okay, I'll tell the second owner when dinner is over, maybe she can come up with any new ideas."

"Yes, then this matter will be up to the young master, we are not suitable to open this mouth."

"Yes. You take someone to the front and watch, it's almost time for a guest to enter the 'door'. ”

"Yes, young master."

At the end of the busy dinner business hours, Xiang Fei went to the back to have dinner with Xiangru, and mentioned Duan Shuwei to Fei and Xiangru at the dinner table, and asked Xiangru if there was a safer way to help Duan Shuwei get through a difficult life in the future.

Xiangru listened patiently, did not say anything first, but first sandwiched a piece of fish 'meat' to eat, and rolled her eyes.

"This matter is not in a hurry, you think slowly, the old man of the Duan family can still hold on for a few days, I just want to have a few more ways to let Duan Shuwei have a few more financial resources, he is really good at painting, and he will definitely be able to become everyone in time, it would be a pity if it was delayed for that little housework." Xiang Fei took a sip of wine and added.

"Well, what, let me ask, Young Master Fei don't mind."

"Okay, you ask."

"You never ask about housework at home, do you?"

"Well, there is my mother and sister-in-law at home, and it is not my turn to take care of household affairs."

"I knew it. In this way, it's all 'spring' days, summer is coming, I want to blackout bamboo curtains on the front and rear windows on the second floor of the front building, and I also want bamboo curtains on the big 'door' and windows in my backyard, and the verandah should also be hung with bamboo curtains. ”

Xiang Fei was stunned for a while, and then laughed, "Yes, why did I forget, the blackout bamboo curtain used in summer is painted and asked to be made up by a craftsman, which is beautiful and practical." The second owner is really smart. ”

"Also, there is not a single ornament in the private room except for a few pots of 'flowers', and each private room has four screens, each of which is painted as a story. I haven't done business, and I don't know what kind of decorations diners like, so if you want to paint the walls of the private room with murals, I'll follow you. ”

Xiang Fei was already laughing so much that he couldn't hold the chopsticks, "Okay, okay, I completely understand what you mean, I will definitely learn some housework with my mother and sister-in-law when I go back." ”

"There is no endless road, Duan Gongzi must have known the situation at home, he seems to be a year older than you, don't worry too much about him, you can be a middleman who brokers business for him at most, and let him do the rest by himself." You're just his friend, not his wife, so be careful that people annoy you too much. ”

"I understand this measure, I am busy with these things just to prevent Duan Shuwei from having a living income when the Duan family gives *** orders. After getting through this period, he will rely on himself. His paintings are really good, and he has always had the idea of traveling around the country to several large art academies, if it is a pity that this kind of housework is delayed, according to his painting skills may become everyone in the future. ”

Xiangru nodded in her heart, "That's right, but he's just your friend?" ”

"There are still a few friends, each of them helps, and all we can do is help him get through the difficulties."

"Okay, the painting on the discount coupon will be 'handed over' to him, if there is anything else to help with, it is a pity that talented people are forced to give up this talent."

"Okay." Xiang Fei raised his glass, "It's really beneficial to talk to the second owner, so I pay tribute to doing it first." ”

"You're welcome." Xiangru smiled and clinked glasses lightly with Xiang Fei

Entering the 'Door'
