Chapter 97: Tools
As soon as my aunt came back two days ago, she suffered a big loss at the hands of this woman, and now that my aunt finally seized the opportunity to take revenge, I am afraid that my aunt will not let her go so easily.
Of course, with him and his grandmother protecting her with all her might, it would not really let this woman freeze to death in the water.
But after all, she had to suffer a little to resolve the matter.
Imagining Shen Lexi holding his shoulders and soaking in the frozen water, and his lips trembling with cold, for some reason, Ning Xian felt a little irritable...... Or would he continue to do what he had planned?
Let those girls in Liulifang mobilize one or two benefactors to come over, and they should be able to complete the turnover task of 30,000 taels.
Well, let's do it.
Ning Xian put down his chopsticks and was about to get up to say goodbye, Shen Lexi was surprised: "What's the matter, Erniu?" Don't like it? β
"It's not." Ning Xian nodded, shook his head again, thought for a while, and said, "I'll help you recruit some guests." β
"Huh?" Shen Lexi suddenly reacted again, smiled and waved his hand, "I appreciate your kindness, but you don't have to worry about the guests, it's enough to have the little brothers of the chestnuts outside." β
"......" Ning Xianxin said: There is no shortage of customers, but unfortunately these guests only eat and do not recharge. Relying on the consumption level of thirty or forty silver on that table alone, even if you don't stop until tomorrow from now on, you won't be able to achieve a turnover of 30,000 taels of silver.
Besides, my aunt won't give you an extra day.
Ning Xian had a hunch that once this woman could not complete the task, according to the degree of maintenance of this woman by the good man system, he would definitely be brought out to clear the field in the end.
Rather than mess him up at the last minute, he might as well prepare now.
Thinking of this, Ning Xian said politely: "You really don't lack customers, but you lack customers who can spend hundreds or thousands of taels of silver at one time...... Didn't you just say that you have a turnover of 30,000 taels today and you have to complete the task? But according to the current trend, if you can't do that membership card activity, you will definitely not be able to complete this task today. β
As a result, before he finished speaking, he heard Shen Lexi smile and say: "It's only 30,000 taels, don't worry, it's done...... Do you think that I don't even let go of Princess Heng's 1,000 taels, so you think I'm in a hurry...... Phew, that's wrong! β
Shen Lexi braked the car suddenly, took a sip of milk tea to suppress the shock, and then said: "I'll tell you the truth, the reason why I did that just now is because the blue-clothed maid who hit you just now always instigated Princess Heng to clean me up behind her back, and then I can't get used to the blue-clothed maid's bullying appearance, and the two factors are combined, so I knocked Princess Heng a thousand taels of silver to relieve my anger." β
There is a cause and an effect, and it sounds very credible.
Ning Xian frowned.
Shen Lexi continued: "As for the membership card activity...... Rest assured, the world is profit-seeking. The guests at the front table came to Kyoto from other places to visit the lantern festival, and they don't often live in Kyoto, so naturally they won't get a membership card. β
"Out-of-towners? Where do you see that? Ning Xian raised his eyebrows, he really didn't notice this.
Shen Lexi smiled: "Judging from their conversation." β
Don't look at her just sitting behind the counter, but her ears are not idle, and she has been listening to the comments of the guests on her free and easy pot, so that she can make adjustments later.
As if to support her answer, Shen Lexi finished speaking, and then heard the guest at the next table say: "Recharge a thousand taels, do you really send another one hundred taels?" There is such a good thing...... Your Tianxianglou is doing a good job in this free pot, and this story is also told, I will always come and go in the future...... Then charge a thousand taels. β
And the same sound kept ringing at the other tables.
Basically, out of every ten tables of guests, at least five tables of guests have a membership recharge card, and most of the amounts are 500 taels or 1,000 taels.
By the time the first wave of customers had all settled their accounts, the turnover had already reached ...... One thousand nine hundred seventy-three taels.
And that's just the first wave of guests.
Then there will be a second wave of guests, a third wave of guests...... When the Lantern Festival is over in the evening, there will be a peak period for visitors.
And so it goes...... Ning Xian's throat rolled down, and he looked at Shen Lexi with a complicated expression.
Shen Lexi raised his eyebrows at him, and said proudly: "I'll just say that the business of 30,000 taels is trivial, you still don't believe it...... Well, I'm not bragging, am I? β
Ning Xian: "......" is not bragging.
Not to mention 30,000 taels, at this rate, it is probably not impossible to double the turnover.
I'm afraid my aunt will suffer again now.
And this loss was bigger and more choking than last timeβthe last time my aunt was just beaten, plus a thousand taels of silver.
Although my aunt was not beaten this time, she had to pay for a Tianxiang Building.
Oh yes, I also paid a thousand taels of cash out of my own pocket.
My aunt is really going to ...... lost his wife and broke his army again.
Ning Xian's estimate was right, on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the turnover of Tianxianglou was only a slight gap of 17 taels and 30 wen from 60,000 taels.
Zhou Yu's hands were trembling when he was doing the accounts, for fear that he had miscalculated, so he counted the thick pile of silver tickets over and over again, and counted the scattered silver several times, and the final figure was still 17 taels and 30 wen away from 60,000 taels.
This next week Yu believes.
And then the whole person was paralyzed - scared.
Shen Lexi was also paralyzed - tired.
In order to prepare for today's opening event, she spun like a spinning top for seven or eight days.
During this period, he also took the time to fight with Ning Yuanyao.
Fortunately, the effort paid off in the end - Mrs. Ning gave her three months to reverse the loss of Tianxianglou, and she completed it in less than ten days.
Shen Lexi didn't dare to say that after passing this test, Old Madam Ning would be merciful and let her go.
But there is one thing that Shen Lexi is sure of: as long as Ning Xian is not so bad that the medicine stone is hopeless, Old Madam Ning will never take her life.
Because she will earn money.
Guogong Mansion is a glamorous family, and behind all the glamorousness, a lot of money is needed to support it.
Therefore, for Mrs. Ning now, she is no longer just a furnace that Ning Xian uses to save her life.
She is also a money-making tool for the Guogong Mansion.
In the future, it will become Chu Yunzhan's money-making tool.
In the previous life, she was a money-making tool for her father and stepmother.
Going around and around, in two lives and two lives, she still couldn't escape the fate of being a money-making tool for others.
Lamentable?
Alas?
Ha!
Fuck your uncle!
Shen Lexi muttered.
In this life, she has two golden fingers by her side, so I don't believe that she can't play with a group of ancients!
Two teardrops overflowed from the corners of Shen Lexi's eyes, and he was reluctant to fall, so he lay quietly in the corner of his master's eyes.
Ning Xian also sat quietly on the edge of the bed, looked at the sleeping person, and muttered in his heart: This woman's sleeping appearance is really getting worse and worse, when she lived in Wuyuan with him before, she occupied most of his bed by herself, and now she has moved back to Qingzhuyuan to live alone, not only sleeping sideways, but also talking dirty words in her sleep - and crying.
What is it to dream about being so sad?
Ning Xian frowned, struggled for a while, and finally couldn't help but stretch out his hand, and was about to help Shen Lexi wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, when Shen Lexi suddenly opened his eyes suddenly.
Ning Xian was startled and hurriedly retracted his fingers.
But it was too late.
Seeing that he was sleeping like a dead pig just now, Shen Lexi suddenly reached out like a corpse, grabbed his hand that was too late to recover, and pulled it down.
A strong force dragged him towards her.
