Chapter 134: Preparation
"What is the monthly income of the silk shop?"
"It depends on the season, the New Year is the peak season, about one hundred and twenty or thirty taels of silver; On weekdays, it's only seventy or eighty taels. Zhuang Yue said.
Lishui County is not a rich county, there are not many rich people, although the silk shop is called a silk shop, in fact, most of the time it is the business of ordinary people. A few feet of coarse cloth or fine cloth will not make a few dollars. So after a month, the income is naturally not much.
Du Jinning calculated carefully in his mind and said: "The area of our teahouse is not large, even if it is full, there are only 100 people, and even the tea and snacks are counted." However, if the script works well, the seats are full in seven or eight percent every day, and it can still be guaranteed. In this way, every month you take 50% of the income of the teahouse, and in addition to the monthly silver of the Guanfu, the two of them have bonuses in the teahouse, and according to their performance, they will be given 30 to 100 yuan. As for the specific reward, depending on their performance, it will be up to you to decide the treasurer. ”
"Yes." As soon as he heard this number, not only Zhuang Yue was overjoyed, but also the two juniors.
Zhuang Yue is the shopkeeper, so he will naturally settle accounts. Every day, Mr. Storyteller doesn't just talk about one game, three or five times are common. He pulled the abacus in his heart, according to normal business, if he took five percent, it was about the same as what he took in the silk shop. But what if the business of the teahouse is booming? Besides, he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, he is the big shopkeeper here, the only one, except for these few owners who don't care about anything, he is the biggest, isn't it better than being at the mercy of others in the silk shop?
Moreover, in the eyes of the Seventh Young Master, is he still afraid that the future will not be bright?
As for the two juniors, although they have monthly money, because they have no specific affairs, the dozens of dollars they get are not starving, and it is difficult to eat well. But if it's done in the teahouse, you can get a hundred dollars, and you can buy a few catties of meat. Every three or four days, cut a few taels of meat and beat the tooth sacrifice, which is also very good.
Similarly, if you can get into the eyes of the Seventh Young Master, will you be able to run in the future? How many people want to rob them of this job, but they have to do it well.
Guan Jiaze is not good at arithmetic, and he can't calculate these accounts at all; Qi Muyuan didn't care about how this teahouse was managed; Zhang Hongwen doesn't understand, and he is not qualified to interfere. All three have no opinion.
So Zhuang Yue's monthly money was set.
"Shopkeeper Zhuang, you have been running around in the Goolan tile shop for the past two days, looking for two or three twelve or thirteen-year-old children, who can turn heels, have a sharp mouth, and are more clever, and notify me when you find it, and I will sign them if I see no problem." Du Jinning instructed Zhuang Yue again.
Qian Dongbao, who was reading the script on the side, suddenly interjected: "I have a grandson in my family, who has been following me to learn storytelling for the past two years. Young Master Du, can I bring him to give you a look? ”
He only had two sons and a daughter, the daughter married and did not say anything, the eldest son did not stand, died at the age of eighteen, and the daughter-in-law who did not give birth to children remarried after a year; The second son successfully got married and gave birth to a child, but he was clumsy and couldn't inherit his mantle.
Fortunately, his grandson Qian is rich and clever, and Qian Dongbao intends to cultivate him. If he is too old to read anymore, his grandson can take over his class, so that he will have something to eat, so that he will not be like his father, just sell his physical strength, and the work is not too much, and it is difficult to make a living.
Like this kind of child who knows the roots, Du Jinning is naturally willing to accept it, and immediately nodded and said: "No problem, you can bring him here when the time comes, and show me together." ”
The two juniors from the Guan family, one named Chen Jiaxing and the other Liu Ze, are both seventeen or eighteen years old. Originally, listening to Du Jinning's words, they didn't have any ideas. But as soon as Qian Dongbao opened his mouth like this, they immediately wanted their younger brother or relatives and friends to come.
Chen Jiaxing said: "Young Master Du, my younger brother is thirteen years old this year, he is clever, has a lively brain, and can also do somersaults. "I made up my mind to train my brother when I got home, and I had to practice the somersault within two days.
Liu Ze was not far behind, and also said: "My aunt's cousin, twelve years old, is also very clever, that mouth can speak, I can't talk about him when I was a child." ”
"It's okay, bring a piece and try it when the time comes." Du Jinning said, "But my ugly words are ahead, this is to go on stage to perform for the guests, that requires courage and real kung fu, but you can't recruit something bad in front of you, you have to be mentally prepared." ”
"That is, if you are not angry, you will definitely not complain about Young Master Du." Chen Jiaxing was selected by Guan Jiaze to run the hall, and he is also very clever, and he can speak very well.
Liu Ze also hurriedly expressed his position.
"If only you knew." Du Jinning stood up and told Zhuang Yue, "The kid in the Goolan tile shop still has to find it, and when the time comes, we can compare and watch together, and even go to the stage to perform." Whoever is capable and likes the guests will be kept. ”
"Yes." When it comes to his own income, Zhuang Yue is naturally very concerned about this matter, and agrees without saying a word.
A few people came out of the teahouse, and Guan Jiaze asked Du Jinning suspiciously, "What are you calling those boys for?" Do somersaults for guests to see? ”
Du Jinning sold it: "You'll know when the time comes." ”
Guan Jiaze has gone from having a little appreciation because of his words to being completely convinced and admiring Du Jinning now, but it is only a matter of half a month, and he himself is still ignorant and has not realized it, but his respect for Du Jinning has made him dare not make a demon with Du Jinning, and muttered in his mouth: "Don't talk about pulling down." And he said no more.
Zhuang Yue's movements were very fast, and only a day later, he called someone to inform Du Jinning, saying that the suitable boy in the hook bar had been found, and asked her to go over and take a look.
The timing of his announcement coincided with the time when the academy was dismissed.
In fact, these boys didn't need to be mixed with Guan Jiaze. But Guan Jiaze was very curious, and specially told Zhuang Yue to inform Du Jinning at this time.
Du Jinning followed Chen Jiaxing, who came to inform her, and came out of the Zhuangzi together, and saw Guan Jiaze and the three of them waiting at the gatehouse of the academy.
She looked at Zhang Hongwen: "If it's inconvenient, you can not go to the teahouse." It's nothing to do anyway. ”
Zhang Hongwen is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old young master, how can there be no curiosity? But he was very embarrassed to often ask Zheng Lin's mule cart to wait for him, and after a little hesitation, he said: "Then this matter will cost the three of you a lot of trouble, so I'll go back first." ”
"It's getting dark early, you should go back quickly."
Guan Jiaze and Zhang Hongwen still formed a deep friendship when they gossiped and angered Du Chensheng and others for what they did, and they were also very considerate of Zhang Hongwen at this time.
When Du Jinning and his party arrived at the teahouse, they saw six twelve- and thirteen-year-old half-grown children waiting there.
