"Oh?" Zhuang Yue's heart moved, "Young Master Du's bookstore business, isn't it going to cooperate with our Seventh Young Master?" ”

"No, it's definitely cooperative." Du Jinning said, "But I also have to cultivate my own people." She raised her eyes to look at Zhuang Yue, "You understand, right?" ”

"Understood, Zhuang Yue understood." Zhuang Yue naturally understands Du Jinning's approach.

Who wants to be controlled by others all the time? Chen Jiaxing's example is right in front of you.

He also understood that it was impossible for him to abandon the Guan family and take refuge with Du Jinning.

It's not that Du Jinning's family is poor and he can't look down on him, but that he is still in the Guan family; The most important thing is that he is a subordinate of the Guan family, and he can be used in the Guan family. If he came out of the Guan family to join Du Jinning, Du Jinning would definitely offend the Guan family. Du Jinning is now fledgling, and it is not a wise move to offend the Guan family for such a person.

So the two of them can only appreciate each other through their identities.

"The Cui Mingshi recommended by Lu Xiaobei is still a very good person, and his ability is enough, but his temper is a little straighter, not tactful enough, and sometimes it is easy to offend people." Zhuang Yue said again, "When I was chatting with Cui Mingshi, I heard that he had a friend who wanted to find a good owner to take refuge in. People gather like like, since they are Cui Mingshi's friends, it is not bad to think about it, Young Master Du can talk to the shopkeeper Cui. ”

Du Jinning nodded, raised his hand and arched again: "Thank you Shopkeeper Zhuang for reminding me." ”

Zhuang Yue came this time to give Du Jinning a wake-up call and sell well. Seeing that the hour was almost up, he quickly got up and took his leave.

Du Jinning deliberately waited for Zhuang Yue to walk for a while before leaving, and when he arrived at the teahouse, Guan Jiaze, Qi Muyuan and Zhang Hongwen were already waiting there. Zhuang Yue was naturally present with Mr. Bookkeeper holding an account book.

After a year, they didn't see each other for half a month, greeted each other, said some auspicious words, and made a lot of noise for a while, and then they sat down.

Zhuang Yue first circulated the account book to everyone.

Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan looked at this income, but they were relatively calm; Du Jinning had an account in his heart, and he had already expected the income of the three teahouses, and he was also very indifferent.

Only Zhang Hongwen was very surprised when he saw the number written on it: "Our three teahouses are so profitable?" ”

Zhuang Yue said proudly: "Not really." The Yiqian Street Teahouse has been at full price since the beginning of the Lunar New Year; Although the Zizhu Xiangkou Teahouse and the Chengxi Teahouse are half price for the first six days, the area is relatively large, accommodating more guests, and they are all full, so the income is also very considerable. ”

Because the three teahouses are all called "Boyue Teahouse", the first teahouse and a new teahouse are in the east of the city, so it is difficult to distinguish between them, so they can only be called by the names of nearby places. The first teahouse to open was opened on Yiqian Street, so it was called Yiqian Street Teahouse; The nearby new teahouse is opened at the mouth of Zizhu Lane, which is called Zizhu Lanekou Teahouse. The one in the west of the city is directly called the teahouse in the west of the city. In this way, it is easy to distinguish between bookkeeping on the ledger.

Speaking of this, Zhuang Yue smiled at Du Jinning and said: "This is also thanks to the dried tofu and braised eggs, tea eggs, chicken feet and duck feet and other snacks provided by Young Master Du's family. These few things have also made a lot of money for our teahouse. ”

Du Jinning asked: "Do you still like chicken feet and duck feet?" ”

"Like. At first, everyone still felt that there was nothing to eat. But the price is not expensive, after Xiao Er sells, I try to taste it, but I can't stop, and many people want to order a copy when they come. Coupled with the fact that the amount of supply is small each time, it makes everyone feel lucky to be able to eat this food. Therefore, demand is in short supply every day. ”

Ancient materials are not as abundant as modern ones, and unlike the 21st century, everyone is tired of eating big fish and meat, and began to pursue all kinds of tricks.

At the beginning, Du Jinning didn't have much confidence in this thing, but there was a ready-made brine at home, just for the Chen family to try, and there was no loss if it didn't work.

But I don't want the ancient people to accept it, it's still okay. The main thing is the role of hunger marketing. Because even if Chen goes to major restaurants to receive goods, he can't receive much in a day. Therefore, the supply cannot be raised at all, and it is only seven or eight catties sold to the teahouse every day. The more you can't eat it, the more you want to eat it, which raises the reputation of chicken and duck feet.

Du Jinning nodded, didn't mention it anymore, and turned his head to look at Guan Jiaze, Qi Muyuan, and Zhang Hongwen: "How to deal with these gains?" ”

"Divide it." Qi Muyuan spit out two words.

Zhang Hongwen saw that someone was taking the lead, and hurriedly agreed: "I also suggest dividing it." "He still owes Du Jinning money, so he naturally hopes to divide the money to pay off the debt.

Guan Jiaze received a bunch of red envelopes during the New Year, and there was no shortage of money on hand. However, he was dispensable for all of this, and seeing that everyone had proposed to divide it, he naturally said, "I have no opinion." ”

Du Jinning turned his head to Zhuang Yue and said, "Then divide the proceeds." In the future, the fifteenth day of each month is counted, and the money is divided on the sixteenth, which has become a common practice. ”

Others are all dividend-paying at the end of the month and at the beginning of the month, but Du Jinning has no intention of planting it, and he is different from others.

However, this does not affect the operation of the teahouse at all, and it is divided into red today, and it will be exactly one month until the 16th of next month, and it is cheaper to act.

Seeing that the other owners had no opinion on this proposal, Zhuang Yue agreed.

Because the daily income and expenditure of the three teahouses are a lot, Qi Muyuan sent a bookkeeper to help manage the accounts. As soon as Zhuang Yue instructed, the bookkeeper put the pieces of money that had been prepared a long time ago in front of the four proprietors.

Zhang Hongwen looked at the fifteen taels of silver in front of him, and his eyes were a little dull.

Although he had just looked at the account book, he was still in a trance when the silver ingots of three ingots and five taels of white flowers that Mr. Bookkeeper had specially exchanged for in the money bank, and he was still in a trance.

He took more than eighty taels of silver from home before and after, thinking that it would be good to return to his roots in a year. But I didn't want to work hard in less than half a month, so I earned back fifteen taels. Thinking about it again, this is only half a month's income, and the dividends for the whole month in the future can be double the current one, that is, thirty taels, he began to doubt his life, and felt that he had lived a poor life for more than ten years, is it a bit stupid? If this had come to the city to do business with his father a long time ago, wouldn't the family be so short of money?

Du Jinning swept the more than seventy taels of silver in front of him, and very calmly swept them all into a cloth bag she brought.

Seeing this, Zhang Hongwen's face turned red, and he quickly put away the silver.

Qi Muyuan has always had no expression on his face, Guan Jiaze looked at the silver on the table, but he had a different excitement about taking the red seal silver. This is his own money, not from his family, and the meaning is very different.

After distributing the money, Du Jinning began to say another thing: "I want to open a bookstore, are you interested in working together?" ”
