Chapter 101: Chill

Since Mrs. Ning handed over Tianxianglou to Shen Lexi to take care of, she has never asked about Tianxianglou again.

She didn't even ask Zhou Yu to reveal to her how Shen Lexi planned to transform Tianxiang Building-

There are a lot of industries under the name of Dingguo Mansion, just a restaurant, and the wealthy old lady of Dingguo has not put a small restaurant in her eyes.

Otherwise, she would not have handed over Tianxiang Building to Shen Lexi to take care of it.

But she didn't expect Ning Yuanyao's change to occur halfway.

Seeing that Ning Yuanyao's head was about to break and bleed, Old Madam Ning finally couldn't sit still-

Although she didn't deliberately pay attention to the affairs of Tianxianglou, her daughter came back yesterday and told her that all the dishes in Tianxianglou were not done now, and now she only makes a dish called a free pot, one pot per table, and twenty-nine taels of silver per pot...... Even if you add wine, you can consume a hundred taels of silver per table.

Consumption of five or six hundred taels per table...... Unless the wine sold by Tianxianglou is fairy dew.

There's definitely something greasy about that.

However, the stupid girl in her own house was completely carried away by anger at this time, and she didn't expect this layer.

How can a mother watch her daughter's head break and bleed.

I don't have to mention it.

Fortunately, Ning Yuanyao finally did not disappoint Mrs. Ning this time, and when the other party mentioned it, she reacted immediately - yes! How could she have forgotten such important information!

A leisurely pot sold at a price of only twenty-nine taels of silver, and a guest with one hundred and eight tables could not eat a turnover of fifty-nine thousand nine hundred and eighty-three taels even if he died!

The little slut either falsely reported the accounts, or the accounts were fake!

Originally, I thought that Tianxianglou was really going to be lost by her own stone, but now after the old lady mentioned it, Ning Yuanyao had a kind of enlightenment, she turned to look at Shen Lexi, and sneered: "Show me yesterday's accounts." ”

After speaking, his eyes were like poisonous snakes, staring at Shen Lexi deadly, wanting to see the panic and nervousness on her face.

It's a pity that Ning Yuanyao is destined to be disappointed.

The stunning little face in front of him not only did not show the slightest panic and nervousness, but also looked relieved.

That's right, Shen Lexi now has a sense of relief - it is said that once she was bitten by a snake, she was afraid of the well rope for ten years, in view of the painful experience that she was calculated into the gutter by the other party for the first time, and secretly rejoiced, so when Mrs. Ning showed an abnormality just now, Shen Lexi was ready to accept the other party's cannonball.

Unexpectedly, she was fully armed to face the battle, but the other party pounced on her and punched her in the chest with a small fist, the difference ...... Shen Lexi suddenly felt that Old Madam Ning didn't seem to be as powerful as she imagined.

Or is it contagious?

Shen Lexi was still thinking about it, so he didn't respond to Ning Yuanyao immediately.

But her appearance of wandering out of the world, in Ning Yuanyao's eyes, is that she is a thief with a weak heart, and she is timid and afraid.

Ning Yuanyao's fighting spirit became more and more high, his head and tail were raised, like a victorious battle chicken, he looked at Shen Lexi condescendingly, and sneered: "Aren't you sharp-toothed?" Why are you pretending to be dumb and not talking now? Didn't you forget to do yesterday's account? Or do you not dare to show yesterday's accounts to others? ”

Shen Lexi came back to his senses at this time, a faint smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and said: "The princess said that she laughed, Tianxianglou's daily business account books and expense account books are all in charge of the shopkeeper Zhou, if the princess wants to see it, I will let someone call the shopkeeper Zhou, if there is anything unclear, the princess can ask him face-to-face." What do you think, Princess? ”

"That couldn't be better." Ning Yuanyao instructed the maids beside him, "Go to Tianxianglou and call Shopkeeper Zhou." ”

The maid took the order and left.

Tianxianglou is not far from the Guogong Mansion, and Shopkeeper Zhou came over with the account books, and was about to salute the masters, Ning Yuanyao asked impatiently: "Shopkeeper Zhou, I heard that the business of Tianxianglou was excellent yesterday, and the turnover actually reached 51,983 taels?" ”

Shen Lexi was stunned for a moment, and then he realized it, and said in his heart: Ning Yuanyao deliberately said that the turnover of 59,983 taels was 51,983 taels, which was to test the loyalty of the shopkeeper Zhou.

The difference of eight thousand taels, if you are greedy, is also very bad.

It's a pity that Ning Yuanyao's move is not only superfluous, but also thinks that he is extremely smart and stupid - Shopkeeper Zhou has gone from a young man who runs the hall to wipe the table with dishes to the big shopkeeper of Tianxianglou, and has been confessed to Tianxianglou for most of his life.

This is also the reason why Shen Lexi knew that the shopkeeper Zhou was Mrs. Ning's person, but he still dared to use him.

Because Shen Lexi knew that Zhou Yu had already treated Tianxianglou as his own child.

It is not so much that he is loyal to Mrs. Ning, but that he is more loyal to Tianxianglou.

But Ning Yuanyao now doubted his loyalty, and made tentative remarks, which would inevitably chill Zhou Yu's heart.

Sure enough, as soon as Ning Yuanyao's voice landed, the smile on Zhou Yu's face became a little stiff.

He didn't go to see Shen Lexi for the first time, but subconsciously looked at Old Madam Ning.

Old Madam Ning lowered her eyes and drank tea, but she didn't even give him a look, obviously acquiescing to Ning Yuanyao's approach.

The last hope in Zhou Yu's heart suddenly burst like a rainbow bubble poked by a needle.

He secretly exhaled, the smile on his face returned to its original state, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, our Tianxianglou launched the free pot for the first time, and the business is indeed unprecedentedly good." But yesterday's turnover was not 51,983 taels, but 59,983 taels. Princess, you said eight thousand taels less...... Yikes! Princess, what's wrong with you? ”

Seeing that Ning Yuanyao's facial features suddenly became hideous and distorted, Zhou Yu was frightened, and his frightened fox eyes were about to turn into grape eyes, and he screamed in surprise, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Then when he looked up, he found that Old Madam Ning was also extremely ugly.

Zhou Yu: "......" wiped the cold sweat on his forehead uneasily, and looked at Shen Lexi as if asking for help, "The princess-"

"Huh."

Shen Lexi sighed faintly, and did not explain, but asked, "Shopkeeper Zhou, did you bring the account books?" ”

"Bring it!" Zhou Yu hurriedly took out the account book from his arms, but Shen Lexi didn't answer it, and said, "Present the account book to the princess." ”

“…… Princess, you ...... Please take a look. Zhou Yu hurriedly held the account book and handed it to Ning Yuanyao.

Ning Yuanyao: "......" went from proud, to shocked, to frightened, to excited, until now excitement has become frightened again...... is so high and low, how can Ning Yuanyao still see any account books at this time!

She looked at the ledger as if she were looking at a flood beast.

In the end, Mrs. Ning was calmer, seeing her like this, she knew that her daughter was completely defeated now.

The old lady had no choice but to make the scene herself.

She coughed lightly and said to Zhou Yu, "Xiao Zhou, show me the account book." ”

It is this title of "Xiao Zhou" that has made Zhou Yu greedy for half a copper plate of Tianxianglou from the end to the end for decades.

In the past, every time Mrs. Ning called him "Xiao Zhou", Zhou Yu would feel very warm in her heart.

But now that he hears this "Xiao Zhou" again, Zhou Yu only feels extremely ironic.
