Chapter 198 On the Road

Anzhou finally settled down for a long time.

During this period, thanks to Chen Shiyi's iron-fisted approach, he firmly established his tea business in Anzhou, and no one dared to underestimate him.

Any businessman in Anzhou who has a little knowledge has heard of the name Chen Shiyi. What does it mean for a woman to occupy a seat in a territory where the strong ones are all men?

It means she is not easy to mess with.

In Jinzhu Garden, people kept coming and going. They were all capable managers of Jinzhu Garden, in charge of shops in various places in Daye. In addition to these, there was also a team under them that specialized in managing foreign businesses with Mo Xunyan in the northwest, a hall that specialized in handling disputes, and a small abacus that specialized in checking the accounts...

Chen Shiyi asked Li Yunzhou how much money he had earned since returning from the northwest.

"Five hundred and eighty thousand taels."

So much?

When Chen Shiyi heard this, he was a little bit unbelievable.

"The revenue from horses accounted for the majority of the revenue. The amount of tea, porcelain, jewelry, etc. that was transported was also innumerable. The tea in Anzhou was sold at the original price of the tea some time ago, and a large number of tea shops were opened. There was no loss, but there was not much profit either..."

Jing Ran standing aside looked a little solemn.

"Boss, there is a problem with the account of Yuming Tea House in Huaizhou."

"What's the problem?"

"The money spent and the money gained were exactly the same."

Li Yunzhou frowned slightly.

"Exactly?"

Chen Shiyi tapped the tabletop with his fingers.

"I remember that the head treasurer couldn't do this when he was doing the accounting."

"It's not that it can't be done, but it's impossible. Tea depends on the harvest. How can we get it exactly right if there are losses on the way and changes in manpower? Moreover, the tea industry has a rule that no tea will be sold without tips. If the tea is famous, it will get a bonus..."

After listening to Li Yunzhou's words, Chen Shiyi immediately made a decision.

"In the past few years, Pei Luoshu has been sending people to help me manage the transfer station of Huaizhou Tea House, and I haven't checked it carefully. Now it's time to go there."

This time when we went to Huaizhou, Bai Ling insisted on going with us.

Bo Yuan said that he also wanted to take a walk.

Okay, a lot of people are going to be mobilized now.

Chen Shiyi told Jing Ran about this.

"I'll go ahead and see what's going on. I'll message you when I get there and you can come back."

Anzhou is closer to Huaizhou.

On a clear and crisp autumn day, Chen Shiyi leisurely rode in a horse-drawn carriage towards Huaizhou.

Sometimes when passing through several mountain roads, the mountains on both sides are colorful. When dyed by the dim sunlight, they are all red, orange, yellow and green, so beautiful.

Chen Shiyi and Fu Da sat in the front of the carriage, leaving Bailing and Bo Yuan sitting in the carriage.

They were whispering something, sometimes mumbling, sometimes laughing, which made Chen Shiyi feel their atmosphere and feel relaxed.

Fu Da next to him had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

"Are you tired? How about finding a place to rest for a while?"

Fu Da nodded.

They rested in an inn in Shiwu Town, in two upper rooms, one for Chen Shiyi and Bailing, and one for Fu Da and Bo Yuan.

In the evening, there was a festival in the town.

There is a river running through the center of the town. Willow branches on both sides are swaying in the wind. On the arch bridge and along the river bank are rows of red lanterns. In the octagonal pavilion, an actor is playing the piano.

Bailing and Boyuan were milling around in the front, curious about this and wanting to buy that. Chen Shiyi followed behind them. Fu Da held the sword, with a sullen face, not saying a word.

"What happened to you today?"

“Seeing something you don’t like.”

No wonder!

"The world is full of troubles. It is impossible to have everything go as planned. Just ignore them."

“This cannot be ignored.”

Chen Shiyi looked forward following Fu Daling's sharp eyes and saw Bailing and Boyuan having a great time.

Oh, she understood. Fu Da liked Bailing, so he felt uncomfortable when he saw Bo Yuan and Bailing together.

No wonder he had that look on his face when Bo Yuan made porridge for Bai Ling.

Chen Shiyi patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry, I will help you."

Fu Da's eyes were dim.

Help? How?

She accepted this so quickly?

Chen Shiyi quickly caught up with them.

"Don't run so fast."

Bailing was holding a rabbit mask in her hand, and Boyuan was holding a lot of food for her.

Chen Shiyi took the thing from Bo Yuan's hand, handed it to Fu Da, and pulled Bo Yuan's sleeve.

"Come with me somewhere, Fu Da, and take good care of Bai Ling."

After saying that, he gave him a look and pulled Bo Yuan forward.

Bo Yuan was very puzzled.

"Boss, where are you taking me?"

Chen Shiyi took Bo Yuan into a jade shop.

"You have good eyesight. Help me pick out a few jade hairpins. The ones I gave Pei Luoshu last time have been worn out for a long time. Also, pick out some special ones for him."

Bo Yuan looked outside absentmindedly and spoke perfunctorily.

"Mr. Pei already has so many hairpins that he can't wear them all for the rest of his life. Don't give them to me as gifts."

Chen Shiyi followed Boyuan's line of sight and looked outside. Fu Da and Bai Ling, both with unhappy faces, were standing outside, waiting for them.

What's going on?

I knew that Fu Da's mouth must have made Bai Ling unhappy.

She didn't even bother choosing her hairpin and took Bo Yuan with her to join them.

When Bai Ling saw Chen Shiyi and Bo Yuan, she started to smile.

"Sister, please don't leave me. I won't run away. I will stay with you."

Chen Shiyi nodded.

"Okay, there are a lot of people playing on the main street ahead. Let's go take a look."

There are people everywhere. I'm afraid everyone in the town is here.

Young and old, men and women, it was very lively.

They were all running on the street, holding basins and splashing water on the people in front of them.

Chen Shiyi asked the people nearby.

"What does this mean?"

"It's about blessing each other. The more water you splash, the more good luck you get."

Chen Shiyi found this very interesting.

"Bai Ling, we're coming too."

Fu Da didn't want to play around with all this. He just followed the three of them with a stern face, moving among the crowd.

Chen Shiyi, Bailing, and Boyuan were having a lot of fun. After a while, they heard Fu Da roaring.

"Who threw it at me? Stand up for me!"

The three of them hurried over to his side.

"What's wrong?"

"Someone threw water on me."

Bai Ling snorted.

"People say that splashing water on others is a blessing. Can you please stop being so cold?"

"I know."

"Then why are you so arrogant?"

Fu Da said with gritted teeth.

"Damn it, I don't know who poured hot water on me!"

The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and then they burst into laughter.

Fu Da looked at Bo Yuan with a gloomy look and asked.

"Is it that funny?"

Bo Yuan shrank back, then turned up Fu Da's collar and took a look.

"It seems a little red and swollen."

Chen Shiyi put away his smile.

"Let's go see a doctor. It would be bad if we catch a cold again."

The doctor prescribed some medicine and asked me to apply it.

After hearing this, Fu Da couldn't help but feel excited, but his expression remained indifferent.
