The Jin Family's Little Empress

"Quick, tell me! When did you start liking me?"

"There is a beautiful one, whom I see and cannot forget. A single day without seeing them, and I yearn like mad. A phoenix flies hi...

Chapter 117: Don’t you want to be the emperor?

Jin Suting: "Slow down and be careful."

So Xiao Hei, as if having a blast, stood on the street, acting like a street performer, and said, "Look, look, delicious barbecue, fragrant and sweet, only two cents for a string of leeks, three cents for a string of beef, two, five, four, ten cents for a string! You can't lose out on three cents, and you don't have to go back and discuss it with my family. You can't go south or northwest. Three cents for three cents, delicious and tasty. If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to find it again... Take a look, take a look..."

Jin Suting felt that Xiao Hei was really good at publicity. With just his shouting, the foodies who had already smelled the fragrance and were eager to try it immediately swarmed over.

They all came to Jin Suting's barbecue stall to buy barbecue.

"I want this string. Here you are, two cents."

"I want two!"

"I want one too."

"And me!"

“…”

Qin'er was so busy collecting money that Jin Suting was a little overwhelmed. After she became more skilled, she started to grill ten skewers at a time, which made things much faster.

The second floor of the East and West Buildings.

The man in black looked at the booming barbecue stall downstairs with an expressionless face.

Behind him stood a man who looked like a servant, "Master, I have done everything you asked."

A silver ingot was thrown over, and the servant quickly caught it, bowing repeatedly to express his gratitude: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

Then he turned and walked out.

Lai Fu sighed and asked his own prince who was standing at the window looking downstairs, "Master, since you are taking so much trouble to take care of Miss Jin's business, why don't you go to see her in person?"

There was no expression in Helan Yinsheng's eyes. "She's afraid of me."

Lai Fu didn't say anything else.

"If possible, I still want to invite her to the East and West Buildings." When Helan Yinsheng said this, his eyes were filled with endless regret and sadness.

"Let's not talk about it anymore." After a long while, he sighed as if talking to himself, "Let's go to the Imperial Palace."

"yes."

The barbecue stall downstairs.

Only after all the skewers were sold out did Jin Suting finally have time to rest. "Let me take a breath. I'm so tired." She went to the back table, got a bowl of cold water, and gulped it down. "Refreshing!"

"Who would have thought that business would be so good!" Cao Cao said as he cleaned up the skewers left by the customers.

Tan Er sat on a chair and counted the money: "Yes, look, there is a heavy bag here! I can hardly count it all."

Xiao Hei came over and said, "Sister Qin'er, let me help you count!"

Tan Er stopped him: "Go away, go away, don't count the numbers anymore!"

Xiao Hei pouted: "If I hadn't promoted it so hard today, there wouldn't be such good business. I also have some credit for it~"

Xiao Hei acted coquettishly to Tan Er, "I've never seen so many copper coins before, so let me touch them~"

Jin Suting smiled. Although she was a little tired today, it was worth it. She said, "Qin'er, let him take a look. After all, Xiao Hei's publicity ability is really great! The advertising is very good~"

She gave two thumbs up to show her appreciation.

Xiao Hei was overjoyed, "Look, my sister said to show it to me!"

Tan Er collected the coins she had already counted and handed the remaining half bag to Xiao Hei: "Okay, then you better be careful, it's a lot of money!"

Xiao Hei: "Okay, okay, I got it!"

Jin Suting took a short break and helped to clean up. They had just arrived, so they had to make the environment better so as not to affect other colleagues and leave a good impression on everyone. This was the long-term way to do business.

As the sun gradually sets, the busy day is coming to an end. The sky is still bright, and the setting sun is reflected on the horizon, as if waiting for everyone to return home.

Jin Suting and the other three also returned to Suxuan Courtyard. Caocao and Xiaohei were planting vegetable seedlings on the barren land in the yard, while she was cleaning the iron grid that had been used for countless barbecues today.

"ah--"

Tan Er suddenly yelled excitedly. She rushed over to Jin Suting, who was still struggling with the peppers stuck on the wire mesh, carrying a bag of money. "Miss, guess how much money we made today?"

"How much?" Jin Suting struggled hard with the chili pepper. It was stuck right inside and couldn't be taken out even if it broke.

Tan Er stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of Jin Suting, "This number."

Jin Suting took a closer look and said, "Only five taels? I haven't even made back my original investment."

Tan Er shook her head. "No, I just did the math. Excluding the cost of the ingredients, the charcoal, the iron grill, and all the other miscellaneous materials, I even included the cost of the honey! After deducting all that, our net profit is five taels of silver!"

"!!!" Jin Suting's eyes widened, "You calculated correctly?"

Tan Er patted the abacus in her hand and said, "Yes, I'm really good at math!"

"If we earn five taels of silver a day at this rate, and there are thirty days in a month, we can earn a full 150 taels of silver a month!"

"After deducting daily expenses, fifty taels of silver will be enough for the four of us. By the end of the month, we can save a full one hundred taels of silver!"

If we save for a few more months, the young lady’s dowry will be ready!

Seeing her so excited, Jin Suting was also happy. "I didn't expect business to be so good on the first day. I hope business will be this good every day in the future!"

Tan Er suddenly remembered something. She took Jin Suting's hand and looked around, "Miss, your hand is swollen!"

Jin Suting smiled and said, "It's okay. I've been barbecuing all day. This is pretty common."

When she went to eat barbecue before, the chef's hands were the same, red and swollen like a braised pig's trotter.
