Chapter 1590 Distributing Bonuses

Shu Yu was quite satisfied with today's successful start. "Everyone has worked hard and is exhausted after a long day. I mentioned before that if sales are good, we'll give everyone a bonus. Since everyone's here now, let's give them the money to make everyone happy. If sales remain good at the end of the month, we'll add more."

No one was unhappy when they heard about the bonus.

Everyone was clearly exhausted, but their eyes lit up and they all perked up.

Shu Yu took out a purse and, without much trouble, gave each person an ounce.

Da Niu and Wei Ronghua were fine, one received a bonus and the other had a high salary, so they remained relatively calm after receiving their money.

But other wages are limited. One or two taels of silver may not be much to the rich, but it is a lot to them.

"Master, isn't this too much?" Ren Yiping swallowed hard, trying to control his excitement as he asked.

"You think you have too much money?" Shu Yu chuckled. "Take it all. I've said it before, as long as we all work together for Lu Ji, I won't treat you unfairly."

"I have one too?" Xia Yan exclaimed in surprise, holding a tael of silver and glancing at Ying Xi beside him.

Yingxi was much calmer than him. Although she was a servant, her mistress often gave her tips, and she had saved up quite a bit of money.

Xia Yan chuckled, and seeing Meng Yunzheng nod, he accepted the gift with peace of mind.

Meng Yunzheng, sitting behind the counter, propped himself up on his hand and asked Shu Yu, "Don't I have one?"

"Of course you have some." Shu Yu stuffed the remaining silver in her purse into his hand. "The painting outside was painted by you, but your paintings are too valuable, and I really can't afford it. Fortunately, what's yours is mine, so let's not worry about it. This silver in your purse is for your daily expenses."

Meng Yunzheng, "..."

The others, "..."

Shu Yu looked completely at ease. Had she said anything wrong?

Meng Yunzheng chuckled, then nodded after a moment of silence. "That makes sense." He then casually put the purse away.

The others were speechless, feeling completely outmaneuvered.

Wei Ronghua pretended not to hear anything and said, "Alright, alright, it's getting late, let's all rest first, we need to open early tomorrow."

Others chimed in, "Yes, yes, I'm so sleepy."

Except for Wei Ronghua, everyone else walked towards the backyard.

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance and chuckled.

Seeing that everyone else had left, Shu Yu put away the account books and money. The two of them sat behind the counter and slowly ate the late-night snack that Da Niu and the others had brought back.

Although Da Niu and the others ate simply, the food they brought back was fish and meat, showing that their meals were quite substantial.

Shu Yu couldn't eat anymore after eating half of it. Seeing Meng Yunzheng still slowly picking out fish bones and putting the fish meat into her bowl, Shu Yu quickly declined, "You eat it, I don't need it. I won't be able to sleep if I eat too much."

Meng Yunzheng then stopped eating and focused on his own food.

Shu Yu propped herself up on her arm and tilted her head to look at him. The more she looked at him, the more handsome he became. Not only was he good-looking, but he was also considerate and capable. Tsk, just thinking about it made her heart flutter...

Shu Yu shook her head violently. "I'm so tired today, what's the point of being all excited?"

She exhaled, recalling the words of the middle-aged scholar beside the prefect during the day, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What exactly is your plan?"
