After all, Tangli is a member of the Koi clan and the clan leader. She has seen the world and is no longer surprised by how important people gather in a small town and how she always meets important people.
A few days later.
When Tangli arrived at Baoqing Pavilion, two people were already waiting there.
He is the steward of the Mu Mansion and the accountant of Shuiyuefang.
"Manager Tang, I am following Madam Mu's instructions to show you Shuiyuefang's account books for the past month." said the accountant of Shuiyuefang.
Tang Li had invested in technology stocks in Shuiyuefang, but she didn't expect Madam Mu to be so serious and even let her look at the account books.
Madam Mu managed the Mu family's business, a classic example of a strong woman. The social climate of this era placed considerable restrictions on women, making strong women even more rare. Tang Li admired Madam Mu's rigorous and conscientious approach.
Tang Li picked up the account book and looked through the account books for that month, and his eyes finally fell on the end.
Balance: three thousand taels.
Shuiyuefang's net profit for a month was actually three thousand taels. After deducting labor and costs, the surplus of Baoqing Pavilion was less than two hundred taels!
The amount of money Shuiyuefang made was beyond her imagination.
"Shopkeeper Tang, the new dishes launched by Shuiyuefang are very popular. In the first month, the revenue increased by one thousand taels. Now customers are lining up. Madam says every day that you are the lucky star of Shuiyuefang." The housekeeper said with a smile.
Every time a new dish is served, Mrs. Mu is the first to try it, and she always praises it after trying it.
Tang Li felt a little embarrassed: "Madam, you are too kind."
"These three hundred taels are this month's share. Madam asked me to give it to you." The butler handed the three hundred taels of silver note that had been prepared long ago to Tang Li.
Tang Li took the banknote and asked Chang Lu to take two boxes of tea to give to the two of them. The two of them left happily.
As soon as the two left, Tangli started to get busy.
A shopkeeper has a lot to do, especially in such a big shop.
Tangli was busy for most of the day and didn't even have a sip of tea. It was not until the afternoon that he had some free time.
"Shopkeeper Tang."
Tang Li had just stretched himself when he heard a shout and looked up to see Yun Niang and Zheng Ding standing outside the door.
After not seeing her for a few days, Yunniang looked much better, which showed that she had recovered well.
Tang Li stood up and walked to the door. Just as she was about to speak, Zheng Ding knelt down in front of her.
Tangli was startled: "You kid, get up quickly!"
"Shopkeeper Tang, this is what you deserve. He knelt for me. Madam not only saved my life, but also gave me a new life." Yunniang said.
Zheng Ding kowtowed three times to Tang Li before getting up.
Tang Li's eyelids twitched. This was one of the sinister and cunning villains in the book, and he was actually kowtowing to him.
On second thought, Zheng Ding is still a child and he is older, so it shouldn't matter if he gets hurt.
"Yun Niang, how is your husband?" Tang Li asked.
"He set up a stall and wrote letters for people. In his spare time, he copied books and could earn a few hundred coins a day. My health is not good, so he doesn't want me to set up the stall and wants me to support him." Yunniang said.
She smiled, her face full of happiness, and was obviously very satisfied with the current situation.
And all of this is thanks to Tangli, she is like the lucky star in his life.
"Madam, we owe you too much. Please accept this!" Yunniang handed a few pieces of paper to Tangli.
Tang Li took the three pieces of paper and took another look. They turned out to be the indentures of Yun Niang's family of three, all signed and sealed!
Among them are a former capable minister and a future big boss. Tang Li always feels that these three indentures are a bit hot to handle.
"Shopkeeper Tang, we have no way to repay you, so we can only serve as your slaves to repay you." Yunniang said seriously.
"Yun Niang, this won't work. I'm helping you out of my own heart, not because I want anything in return."
“But we feel at ease only when we give back.”
Tang Li thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Yun Niang, how about this, let your Zheng Ding work for me."
"He's just a half-grown child, and he can't do anything. I'm in better health, so I can do everything..."
"Yun Niang, I've chosen this child. He's smart and will definitely be able to help me." Tang Li half-jokingly said, "I don't want anything that Brother Zheng can't carry on his back or shoulders."
Yunniang also laughed.
Her son Zheng Lang was disliked, so she had to go back and talk to Zheng Lang to make him angry.
"I'm tired of your sesame cakes and don't want to eat them anymore. I have Aunt Zhao at home. She's very capable, so I don't need anyone to do the work."
Yunniang covered her lips and smiled. She was also disliked.
"Please accept Ding'er's indenture contract." Yunniang said.
Tangli didn't accept it.
"Yun Niang, this child will definitely have a great future and shouldn't just be a slave. I can't let him down, so I absolutely cannot accept this indenture."
Yunniang took one look at her child and was persuaded. Who wouldn't care about their child's future?
"Let's sign a ten-year working contract. Since it's a way of repaying a favor, I won't pay him if he works for me. With his cleverness, he should be paid a hundred taels a year, and a thousand taels in ten years. My ginseng is only worth a hundred taels, so I still make a profit."
Yunniang thought that there seemed to be some truth to it. Could her son be so valuable?
"Okay, it's settled. Let's sign the contract."
The contract was signed.
After Yunniang took Zheng Ding away, she kept thinking about it and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Ding'er, why do I feel like I've been fooled by Shopkeeper Tang?"
"You're twelve this year. You've been learning things with Shopkeeper Tang for the past ten years. How did you get the one hundred taels a year? Logically, we should have paid her tuition. Ten years later, you're twenty-two, old enough to work, and she let you go. So, we owe her something. How have we ever repaid her?"
Zheng Ding gave her a look that said 'you finally understand'.
"Ding'er, you thought of it a long time ago? Then why didn't you say it just now..."
"Mom, the contract is not important. It doesn't matter if we sign it for ten or twenty years. The most important thing is the heart. The heart is more reliable than a contract. Ten years later, I will continue to make money for Manager Tang. I will earn her one thousand or ten thousand taels." The little boy had an extremely determined look in his eyes.
Yunniang nodded and said, "Ding'er, you are right. We will remember the kindness of Shopkeeper Tang for the rest of our lives."
Tangli didn't feel that he was at a disadvantage.
In the book, although Zheng Ding is a sickly, perverted, and particularly vicious person, no one can deny his talent in business.
Zheng Ding worked for him for free for ten years, so he definitely made a profit.
Ten years later, Zheng Ding had grown up completely. The sky was high and the bird could fly freely, so naturally, he could not be restrained.
By then, Erbao had grown up and took over her business, so she didn't have to worry about anything.
Tangli has everything planned out.
Thinking about it this way, she probably will be able to spend her days lying in bed counting money in a few years.
Tangli continued to work happily, and after finishing, he rushed home.
Today is Wei Qing's day off again.
