Chapter 473 Why are you waving an empty box in front of us?

At Ran Qingxuan's signal, a few people withdrew and had a meal. The people who had been busy since early morning finally had time to stop and rest for a while.

But because business was so good, the waiters and waitresses just took a few bites of their food and then hurried out to greet other customers.

Ran Qingxuan and Duan Ling saw all of this, and taking advantage of the fact that there were few people eating at around three o'clock, they called everyone over one by one and stuffed five taels of silver into each of them.

"Boss, isn't this a bit too much?"

"It's not a big deal. We have seen what you have done. These rewards are what you deserve."

The two of them are treated equally anyway. They were all given five taels of silver, which, based on their usual wages, was enough for three or four months' wages.

Knowing it was a reward, the people who received the money worked harder.

Time passed quickly without him noticing. Gu Yanchen had not waited for the exile team yet, so he went out to look for Shan Qi and others.

No one came back until after dinner.

In the end, there were no more fresh ingredients to buy, so we closed the door and refused to see customers.

No matter who was in the store, almost everyone collapsed in exhaustion.

But most of them would rest for a short while before getting up to clean the table and the store.

During this time, people kept coming to ask if they could have a meal. When they learned that they had to get up early the next day, they immediately looked disappointed.

After all, most of the people who came later were from other cities, and it was already very late when they got the news.

Ran Qingxuan kept lowering his legs, and took the time to rub Duan Ling's shoulders. The two smiled at each other, feeling happy for today's success.

As he laughed, Shopkeeper Dou held a wooden box with an excited look on his face. He nodded at Ran Qingxuan and Duan Ling, and motioned for them to go to the backyard to talk.

After seeing this, Duan Yi stood up, holding his waist, and moved forward with difficulty to find out what was going on.

Duan Ling, who was following behind, noticed that Shopkeeper Dou was a little out of breath when walking, and immediately became worried.

"Manager Dou is exhausted today. You haven't walked around like this for a long time, right?"

Shopkeeper Dou smiled faintly and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Don't laugh at me, boss. I'm not tired at all. I'm just happy!"

"What's so happy about that?"

Shopkeeper Dou looked around vigilantly, then shook the wooden box in his arms vigorously in front of the three people.

But there was no sound at all...

"Manager Dou, why are you waving an empty box in front of us?"

"Oh my dear, this is not an empty box, it is so full that there is no space..."

Duan Ling's eyes widened, and she was obviously a little bit disbelieving.

"Don't tell me this box is full of money, and it's all earned today?"

"How can this be false? Shopkeeper Zhao and I counted it twice before we got it right, and this doesn't even include the guests who haven't paid yet."

In the small warehouse in the backyard, Manager Dou placed the box on the table with a bang.

The solid voice made the three people even more certain that there was such a large amount of money inside.

Duan Yi's eyes sparkled and he spoke with some lisp.

"How much, how much did this store earn today?"

Shopkeeper Dou raised his two hands, one counting eight and the other counting five.

Duan Ling frowned and asked tentatively, "Eighty-five taels? It shouldn't be that little, right?"

"No, it's eight hundred and fifty-four ounces and seven cents!"

"What? How much? How much did you say?"

Duan Ling's legs were shaking and she almost fell to the ground.

Who would have thought that one could easily earn eight hundred taels of silver in just one day...

Ran Qingxuan didn't expect that these ancient people would be so curious. There were sixty-eight tables in the entire store.

The average consumption per table is two taels of silver, and one turnover can earn about one hundred taels. This would require seven or eight turnovers to earn this much…

“Hahahaha…” Duan Ling held her belly and laughed without any image.

She had unexpectedly encountered such incredible wealth, she had to hurry back to tell her mother the good news.

As long as we get the help of the Qi family, hot pot restaurants will be opened in major cities in Northern Qi soon!

"Ahem, Manager Dou...can you leave us alone for a while?"

Shopkeeper Dou thought they had something important to discuss, so he nodded in agreement readily.

"I will take advantage of this time to contact the vendors who will be supplying us tomorrow, and try to get them to provide us with the freshest ingredients tomorrow morning."

"Then I'll trouble Manager Dou!" Duan Ling was quite respectful to them. After all, these people had been working for the Duan family when she was a child.

Manager Dou and his colleagues were also grateful and did not look down on Duan Ling just because of his young age.

There were only three people left at the scene. Faced with a box full of money on the table, Ran Qingxuan pushed it directly in front of Duan Ling.

"Sister Ran, what do you mean?"

Ran Qingxuan spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Perhaps we will have to leave once my husband returns. You have seen how the store is operated today. If we open a store somewhere else, we will do the same as we did today."

"It's just that I still need you to help with some of the things that need to be improved. I'm afraid I won't be able to find you until around the New Year."

Duan Ling also knew that whether Ran Qingxuan could stay was not up to her, and while she was feeling depressed, she was also looking forward to the future.

She believed that what Ran Qingxuan could do, she could do too!

"Okay, leave the matter of opening hotpot restaurants in other surrounding areas to me, you can rest assured!"

"I feel at ease leaving it to you." As he said that, Ran Qingxuan reached into the cloth bag he carried with him and took out a small box the size of a palm.

“There is a thousand taels of silver in this box, which my grandfather gave me before I left the capital.

Since we have agreed that I will provide the money and you will provide the manpower, I will naturally not break my promise. ”

One thousand taels was indeed nothing to the Duan family in the past, and they could take it out in a matter of minutes.

But things are different now. If the Duan family wants to come up with one thousand taels immediately, it will take a day or two, after all, they have to consider the issue of turnover.

Duan Ling simply accepted the one thousand taels and nodded in tacit understanding with Ran Qingxuan.

The hot pot restaurant became a huge success in just one day. Ran Qingxuan bought a lot of the same meat and vegetables from the space to reward everyone who had worked hard all day.

The cook was still confused while eating. He remembered that the ingredients should have been sold out...

Thinking that this might have been left specially for them as a reward, he didn't think much about it.

As a result, before he could take a few bites, Gu Yanchen hurried back.

Ran Qingxuan went down the stairs with him, and from his expression he knew that the team had arrived.

"The officers and their team have entered Silvermoon City and will stay in the city tonight. We must go and join them now."

Hearing that he had to go immediately, Ran Qingxuan glanced around the store.

"I'll talk to Duan Ling and the others."

The important task of opening the hot pot restaurant to other places would be handed over to Duan Ling, and Ran Qingxuan explained everything in detail.

Inform us of any circumstances that can be considered.

"Before I leave, I will explain the situation to the Qi family. My husband's people will deliver a large amount of base materials in two days."

"These things are critical, and nothing can go wrong."

It is not an easy task to transport the base ingredients back and forth, but it takes more than 20 days to get to Zixi, and there is no way to teach the chef how to make it in time.
