Chapter 1595 Dong Shi Imitating Xi Shi
Wei Fangfang returned to Donggu County to pay respects to Hu Geng's mother, as tomorrow is the anniversary of her death. Before Hu Geng's mother was alive, little Wei Fangfang mostly ate and slept at the Hu family home because Wei Ronghua was too busy.
For Wei Fangfang, who lost her mother at a young age, Hu Mu was like her own mother, and naturally she would go to pay her respects on the anniversary of her death.
Wei Ronghua stared blankly at the string of copper coins in his hand, and couldn't help but cover his eyes.
Look at this generous and considerate employer, he's practically head over heels for her.
Wei Ronghua wanted to say something more, but Shu Yu had already turned to look for Da Niu, so he could only smile and put the copper coins away.
Da Niu was checking the inventory in the warehouse when he saw Shu Yu coming over. He turned around and said, "I didn't expect so many goods to be shipped out in just one day yesterday. I thought these would last at least ten days or half a month. It seems that we will have to send over another batch in a couple of days."
"You can make arrangements to have it delivered before the seventh day of the lunar new year." After all, the seventh day is the day Lan Hua gets married, and neither of them will be available.
Da Niu nodded and continued his review.
After finishing the inventory on the left, she seemed to remember something and suddenly turned her head to ask, "By the way, where's Yunzheng? I haven't seen him all day."
"He went to the government office." Shu Yu knew this. Last night, when Meng Yunzheng returned to his room, he told her that he still needed to talk to Lord Fei in person about matters in the capital.
Da Niu didn't ask any more questions. He thought that as a scholar, it was perfectly normal for Meng Yunzheng to visit the prefect.
After the inventory was completed, Da Niu prepared to return to the estate.
Business was booming at the shop today, with many people who missed the news yesterday coming over to ask about the lottery.
Although I was a little disappointed to learn that the event was only for yesterday, once customers enter the store, whether or not we can keep them there is up to the shop assistants' skill.
Whether it was Ren Yiping, Ping Letian, or Wei Ronghua, they were all clever and quick-witted. They would treat every guest who came in according to their situation, using all their skills to ensure that no one left empty-handed.
Therefore, even without a lottery, most people still bought something, more or less.
Moreover, so many people bought things yesterday, and after eating them and finding them good, they naturally spread the word. Many others came based on recommendations from others.
Seeing that there were many guests but everyone was busy, Shu Yu simply told Da Niu and the others to go home.
Tomorrow is the third day of the Lunar New Year, the day Dazhuang goes to the Zhou family to propose marriage to Zhou Ermei. He should go back and prepare.
Anyway, there are more than just Wei Ronghua and his two companions in the shop; Shu Yu and Ying Xi will also stay to help.
Shu Yu planned to stay until the afternoon of the fifth day of the lunar new year, so that she could make it in time for Lan Hua's wedding on the seventh day.
For the past five days, Lu Ji's business has been quite good.
Although they didn't earn as much as on the first day, they still had plenty of customers, which made the shopkeeper next door both jealous and envious.
They tried to get advice from Manager Wei, but what advice could Wei Ronghua offer them? Aside from doing his best, he really couldn't give them anything else.
During this period, another shop in the same alley also followed Shu Yu's example and held a lottery event.
Sure enough, the shop was immediately packed with people who had tasted the sweetness of the lottery. However, the shop was prepared in a hurry. It did not have the promotional rhymes that Shu Yu had prepared twenty days in advance, nor did it have the prizes that the people wanted. As a result, the outcome was not satisfactory.
