Chapter 63: Playing with Mud

Qin Liu slept an extremely sweet sleep and never dreamed again.

Here, this big kang is her home!

Early the next morning, Ma Yue sent Qin Liu the account books of the inn and the restaurant.

Qin Liu looked at the messy account book that he remembered, and his forehead twitched.

This account is a running account, but it is simple and easy to understand, but there are a lot of miscellaneous items, and the scalp of people who read it is numb. Buying grass, meat, rice, beans, peanuts, etc., are all written down on it.

Qin Liu didn't care about taking care of the accounts first, but spent more time with the two children first. Especially Da Lang, who is now six years old and almost seven years old, is the critical moment to learn knowledge and enlightenment, she wants to see if she is not there this month, and whether the child's learning has regressed.

Da Lang's words are practiced every day, but the arithmetic is still too poor.

When Qin Liu saw him write "11" after "6 plus 6", his heart was a little broken.

That's right, what she taught Da Lang was Arabic numerals.

She went to break a bunch of small wooden sticks and asked Da Lang to count six first, and Da Lang easily completed it.

She asked Da Lang to count six more, and Da Lang continued to finish without a hitch.

She put the two piles of small wooden sticks together and asked Da Lang, "Count again, how many are there?" ”

Da Lang counted it, his eyes shining brightly, and he said loudly: "Twelve!" ”

She smiled and touched Da Lang's head: "Da Lang is awesome!" Look at it again, seven small sticks plus seven small sticks, how many are there? ”

Da Lang counted the sticks very carefully.

She looked at Erlang again, Erlang was holding a small wooden sword to chop and chop, and he was having a lot of fun, of course, he slashed on Qin Liu the most. Fortunately, Qin Liu was wearing the original coarse cloth clothes today, if the exquisite clothes he bought in Xuanfu would have been ruined at this time.

Qin Liu was helpless. This wooden sword is still made by the little mute, and the little mute doesn't know where it is now.

Qin Liu took the energetic Erlang to play in the mud in the shade of the backyard. It was late May, and the sun was hot.

Jiro poked around in the mud with a small wooden sword, threw the wooden sword aside when he couldn't get enough of it, pouted his little ass and used his hands to make the mud live.

In a few moments, his face and body were covered with mud.

Qin Liu didn't mind, he sat on the small bench next to him and watched Erlang play, enjoying the quiet years.

"You're just going to let your kids play with this?"

The sudden appearance of a male voice startled Qin Liu.

She turned her head and saw a man dressed in black with a hat standing in the shade of the house to the east.

She narrowed her eyes and tried to look down as much as she could to see the face of the man under the hat.

The man approached, revealing a three-dimensional and handsome face under the hat.

Sure enough!

How did Zhu Yue chase here?

Qin Liu smiled awkwardly: "Lord Zhu, why do you have time to come over?" This is a great ......"

Zhu Yue put his hands behind his back and said very leisurely: "There are some things I want to tell you in person." ”

Qin Liu pricked up his ears and listened.

"The matter of selling horses has alarmed the top, and there will be a lot of people going to Xuanfu in the capital recently. You remember, as much as possible, don't go out and don't show up. If necessary,"

Zhu Yue paused, and his voice became a little low: "You go to the grassland to stay for a while." ”

After that, he looked at Qin Liu with serious eyes.

Qin Liu felt bitter in his mouth - has his identity been taboo to this point?

This Zhu Yue kept riding horses day and night to bring himself back to Xuanfu from the grassland, and it was only a few days, and he had to go to the grassland to stay for a while?

Isn't this in vain?

She nodded, went to pick up Erlang, who was still fighting in the mud, and said to Zhu Yue: "If I leave, please ask Lord Zhu to help take care of my family." ”

Erlang was playing in the middle of his life, and was suddenly disturbed, waving his hands and kicking his legs to resist, humming, and going to play with mud on the ground.

Qin Liu was hit by his muddy little hands, and his face was covered with mud, and his hair was also stained a lot.

Qin Liu didn't care about this, just looked at Zhu Yue seriously.

Zhu Yue was amused by Erlang's mischievousness.

He reached out and pinched Erlang's chubby little face, and smiled faintly: "Okay." ”

With that, he carefully examined Erlang's face, as if he wanted to find something out of it.

Qin Liu hurriedly asked the whereabouts of the little mute: "Where is my guy now?" Do you want Lord Zhu to let him go? ”

"I can't let it go."

Qin Liu was taken aback: "Why? ”

It can't be a little mute injured, right?!

"He fled on the prairie, and I don't know where he is now. However, if he comes back, it's a good thing, and I'll be relieved that you have one more master by your side. ”

In this way, the little mute is the son of Dayan Khan, the prince of the steppe, and not his bodyguard......

However, Qin Liu didn't argue with Zhu Yue about this, and now that the whereabouts of the little mute are unknown, she is a little worried.

"Uncle Lou, are they back?"

Zhu Yue said lightly: "He took you to the grassland without authorization, put you in danger, and you still need to implement the horse affairs on the grassland, and he can't come back for the time being." ”

Qin Liu was stunned for a moment, it turned out that this old man Lou was so bold!

It seems that Zhu Yue didn't know about his trip to the grassland.

Somehow, she suddenly felt that Zhu Yue was much more kind.

Zhu Yue looked her up and down and said, "Why aren't you wearing new clothes?" ”

Qin Liu smiled awkwardly: "It's too expensive to take care of children, I'm afraid of getting dirty." She looked at the mud marks on her body that had been pasted on Jiro.

"Just do it when you get dirty."

It would cost you money to do it again!

Qin Liu didn't speak.

Zhu Yue didn't stay long, and left quickly, looking like he was still in a hurry.

Qin Liu looked at the thick layer of dust on the hem of his clothes and the boots that were so dusty that he couldn't see the color, and knew that he was riding a horse.

Xuanfu is a hundred and fifty miles away from here, and it is actually quite hard to ride all the way over.

Just for these few words, he ran by himself, or after a while ago after a non-stop rapid march day and night, this Zhu Yue is really an iron-clad man!

Qin Liu asked Erlang to continue playing with mud, but he was thinking about the things that needed to be dealt with quickly.

She had to sort out the advantages and disadvantages of the inn as soon as possible, so that the inn business could get on the right track as quickly as possible.

After letting the child sleep at night, Qin Liu picked up the lights and fought at night and sorted out the accounts of the inn and the restaurant.

The overall profit of the restaurant has dropped sharply, and it only earns 120400 yuan.

The inn had a good income, with a total income of ninety-seven taels of silver.

Because the service staff are all half-grown street children looking for nearby, they only care about food and lodging and do not pay wages, but the profit is very high, 60 taels.

This profit is much worse than the peak of Swallow Tower.

Qin Liu lowered his head and groaned.

It's summer, and there are a lot of pedestrians passing by, so their store is just opening and the occupancy rate is pretty good.

It's just that it's mainly the income from the hotel, and the catering income is less than one-tenth, which makes Qin Liu a little regretful.

According to her plan, the people take food as the sky, and the catering income should be more.
