The first-class set meal is rice with four dishes and one soup, which can be eaten by four people, and the price is one or two silver.

The second-class set meal is rice with one meat, one vegetable and one soup, which is enough for two people to eat, and the price is 500 Wen.

The third-class set is rice with a meat dish and a complimentary small bibimbal dish, priced at 100 yuan.

The Ding and other set meals are two steamed rice mixed with japonica rice and millet, plus a vegetarian dish and a complimentary small mixed dish, priced at 50 Wen.

This price was strictly set after everyone had discussed.

A, B, and C are for the guests, and D and so on are for the slaves.

The village chief originally thought that the vegetables were not worth much, and the price should be set lower.

But Li Lao Er insisted that he would rather give away more side dishes than reduce the price.

Because once the price is set, winter vegetables are expensive, but it is not easy to increase the price.

On the contrary, it is used as a form of gift, no matter how much it will make the guests happy, and the broken gold beach can also fall into the name of generous hospitality.

Soon, Li Laosan bought the vegetables back.

Tao Hongying saw that there was nothing missing, and immediately took the women to start steaming rice, while the naughty people ran everywhere to count how many sets of meals were needed.

They have been learning to write and calculate intermittently with Li Lao Er for more than a year, and now it can be regarded as coming in handy.

The quick announcement of the name of the dish and the calculation of the quotation made the guests surprised again.

But there are also guests who dislike the simplicity of the dishes, Li Lao Er has already instructed, and the young men smiled, "Because it is the first day to welcome guests, there will definitely be some shortcomings, and I hope that the guests will forgive me, and it will be better slowly in the future." And the craftsmanship of our chefs is excellent, and guests will not be disappointed in their safekeeping. ”

The guests didn't just talk about it, but they didn't hold on to it.

There are even some people who have just met, and they are happy to get together and order a first-class package.

But then something goes wrong, who pays and how much?

In short, all kinds of small problems emerge one after another, and finally they are all summarized here by Li Laoer.

Li Lao Er also frowned, he had done the accounting room before, but it was also the accounting office of Buzhuang, not as trivial as this.

Jiayin has never managed a hot spring bath, but he has never eaten pork, and he has always seen pigs walking.

After thinking about it, she took out the little mare in her purse and shook it at the second uncle, "Second uncle, my pony also has to eat grass, you write it down and let it pay." ”

Li Lao Er couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, hugged his niece and kissed him, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and his eyes were very bright.

He didn't have time to put down his niece, so he called Li Laosan, "The third child, the third child, come here!" ”

Li Laosan was helping to light the fire, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Second brother, is there something wrong?" ”

"Yes, yes! You go find a few pieces of wood, carve some signs, and don't need any patterns for the time being, just write a simple serial number. For example, how many yards are numbered, or how many individual customers are numbered. In this way, whoever has additional expenses will show the sign to keep the account, and settle it together when they leave. ”

The more Li Lao Er said, the more excited he became, "In the future, it is best to carve some unique marks on the back of the sign to make it easy to identify." ”

Li Laosan is just a few words, but his brain is extremely smart, and he also likes carpentry work, he immediately took over the errand, went back to the village and called a few juniors to get busy.

On the other side, Tao Hongying took the women to fry and fry, and soon the fragrance wafted into the valley.

The guests climbed ashore one after another, changed their clothes and prepared for dinner.

After all the packages were delivered, the guests nodded and praised the food, and Li Lao Er and the others felt exhausted.

In the afternoon, the guests who had booked the wooden house and the small courtyard went back for a lunch break, and the individual guests played until the sun set in the west, and then left.

Inevitably, there will be another rush to stir up, and even mule carts will be dispatched to send guests.

Because some individual passengers hired a carriage to come, they couldn't walk without a carriage when they returned.

After finishing all this, I prepared dinner for the overnight guests...

It wasn't until everything was done and the moon was in the middle of the day, leaving people to guard the valley, that Li Lao Er and the others dragged their tired footsteps back to the village.

And the village chief and most of the people in the village were waiting in the courtyard of the Li family, and everyone wanted to know how the income in the valley was today.

Li Lao Er drank a bowl of water before announcing with a smile, "Today I received more than 330 catties of grain and more than 60 taels of silver. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they were all a little confused, which was really beyond their expectations.

When they reacted, everyone cheered!

"That's too much! There are more than 300 catties of grain a day, which is enough for our whole village to eat for three days. ”

"There is also silver, more than sixty taels, wouldn't it be two months to return to the capital!"

The village chief also smiled on his face, knocked on the table with a cigarette pouch and pot, and signaled everyone to be quiet, "Be quiet, and don't be afraid of people's jokes when they spread out, we haven't seen the market." Besides, this is just a collection, not counting the capital and the wages of everyone's work! ”

Li Lao Er also nodded and smiled, "The capital is indeed not deducted, but the profit is at least forty taels." Again, there are a lot of problems, and they all have to be solved slowly. ”

The village chief coughed dryly twice and shouted to Jiaren to take a pen and paper, "While everyone is here, the business is also open." Let's make a charter tonight! ”

Everyone nodded quickly and leaned forward.

The village chief nodded to Li Laoer, "I'll say it again, the day I die or get old, the second child in our village will be the village head, no one will object to this, right?" ”

"No objection, we serve the second child, and we all listen to him!" The villagers almost unanimously agreed.

Li Lao Er can write and calculate, has been a shopkeeper, and has acted smoothly, and now he is provoking the business of Hot Spring Valley.

No one can replace him!

The village chief said, "In the past few days, I have been walking around the village and outside the village, and I have divided the work in our village into several large parts, such as the hot spring valley, the river beach, the two hills, and the village. In our village, no one divides who owns the land on the mountain and whose family owns the river beach, and they all work together, and they all bear it together.

"But you can't do it in a daze, you can do more and get more and get less if you do less, and no one will take advantage of it. In the future, our village will divide the work into three, six, nine and so on, such as Hongying and the second child, those who carry a lot of work and suffer a lot, even if they are first-class workers, they will get more work. For example, the light work of sweeping the streets and watching the crops will have less work. ”

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, how much is the work of shoveling and weeding, and how much is a penny?" ”

"What are you anxious about, listen to me slowly." The village chief glared and suppressed the anxious offspring.

He said, "I just want to tell everyone that there is such a thing, what kind of work and how much work, and when I am free, the heads of each family will study it with me, and we can't let everyone suffer." ”

Li Lao Er also heard a few words from the village chief in advance, and said at this time, "What I mean to the village chief is that in the future, the whole village, hot springs, mountains, and river beaches will be counted, and half of the input will be taken out for wages, and half will be taken out, and dividends will be distributed according to the input of each family."

"For example, if the whole village earns 1,000 taels a year, then 500 taels will be divided according to the dividends, and the remaining 500 taels will be 50,000 taels for the work of the whole village, and that one work will be 10 cents. Your children go to see the melon field, three jobs, that is, earn 30 wen a day. ”

Everyone finally understood, they all nodded heavily, and they all understood that the Li family and Ye Gongzi were making profits.

After all, the two of them invested the most silver, and if most of the income was taken out for dividends, they would receive more silver.

Someone asked, "Village chief, everyone has taken advantage of this matter, do you want to ask Ye Gongzi before deciding?" ”
