Chapter 223 Earned almost ten taels a day!
Fang Tianci seemed to be thinking about something, but he was not a fool and he quickly understood the key.
"The girl is really thoughtful."
"Our business is not something that can be done in a day or two. It must be for long-term considerations. You should learn more in your daily life. I want to train you to be a shopkeeper. When you can really be competent for this position, I will increase your salary in the future." Song Yuntang looked at him and said.
After hearing this, Fang Tianci bowed hurriedly.
"Thank you for your cultivation, young lady."
Xu Wencheng looked at Song Yuntang and felt that she was as smart as his older brother.
They all came from the same mother, but the eldest brother is introverted and intelligent, which makes him seem a little stupid.
…
After the afternoon, a few customers came to the shop to order wine and eat noodles.
In the evening, when school was over, more people came to the shop again.
However, because the thirty crispy chickens had been sold out, Song Yuntang only helped in the kitchen when there were many people. The rest of the time, after Chen and Tao gradually became proficient, they could almost handle the job.
As for Xu Qingye, Zhou Zilang, who had bought sour plum soup from Song Yuntang before, brought Mr. You from the academy. Mr. You was Xu Qingye's enlightenment teacher. They finally met, and now he was talking to him upstairs.
Song Yuntang didn't bother him, but just sat on the swing in the backyard and rocked gently.
The night wind brought a hint of coolness, and Song Yuntang covered his arms and couldn't help shivering.
The weather is getting colder, it's time to prepare winter clothes in advance.
As closing time approached, it got dark and the customers left the shop one after another.
Fang Tianci recorded the evening's revenue in the account book according to Song Yuntang's instruction and gave it to her.
"Girl, this is today's account, please check if there is any mistake."
Song Yuntang picked up the account book, checked it one by one under the dim light hanging next to the swing frame, and finally looked at the total of today's accounts.
"Nine taels and eight cents of silver, and I actually made nearly ten taels today!"
Fang Tianci nodded.
“I thought the business would be much worse without the crispy chicken in the evening, but I didn’t expect it to be quite good.”
Song Yuntang smiled and said, "Not really. After all, our shop is mainly about drinks. If there is no crispy chicken to go with the drinks, there are always other things."
She handed the account book back to Fang Tianci and said, "There is no problem with the account. Just follow this from now on. If you are more careful, there shouldn't be any mistakes."
Fang Tianci nodded, "Oh, I remember it."
"It's already the end of the month, I'll settle this month's salary with you in advance."
Song Yuntang looked at Chen Xier.
"Although Sister Xier came earlier, you didn't have much work on the farm before. Although you haven't worked in the shop for ten days, I will calculate it as ten days. Your wages are the same as Brother Fang's, eight hundred coins a month. The ten-day wages were originally two hundred and sixty-six coins, but I will calculate it as two hundred and seventy coins for you. Is that okay with everyone?"
Chen Xier quickly shook her head.
"Miss Song is willing to take us in. I am already very grateful, so I naturally have no objection."
Tao Xia and Fang Tianci naturally had no objections.
Seeing this, Song Yuntang counted out three pieces of two hundred and seventy coins, a total of eight hundred and ten coins, and divided them equally among the three.
As for Ms. Sun who came today, since Song Yuntang had already said that her salary for several days this month would be paid together next month, he did not give it to her now.
After paying the bill, all the customers in the shop had left.
Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Tao hurried to finish the finishing work in the shop, and Mrs. Sun also washed all the bowls.
Song Yuntang picked up the duck that had been pickled in a small jar during the day, found two iron hooks, drilled holes in the duck's neck, hooked it, and hung it under the eaves to dry.
Let it dry tonight and process it tomorrow before putting it in the oven.
At this time, Xu Qingye had already harnessed the mule cart.
Song Yuntang looked at everyone and said, "We are passing by Zhuangzi on our way back to Lushan Village. We can give you a ride. Everyone has been busy all day and has worked hard. Let's go back together."
"Hey, let's lock the door and come."
Chen, Tao and Fang Tianci each went to lock the backyard, wine cellar and the front and back doors of the shop.
Aunt Sun took off her apron.
"Miss Song, my home is not far from here, I will go back first."
Song Yuntang nodded, "Okay, Auntie, be careful on the road."
In order to see the road clearly at night, Xu Wencheng hung the lamp not far from the swing frame in front of the mule cart. The distance from Huajianzui to Zhuangzi was not far. After Fang Tianci and Tao and Chen got off the mule cart, Xu Qingye drove the mule cart straight to Lushan Village in the dim light.
Xu Wencheng sat next to Xu Qingye, looked in the direction of the mule cart and said, "Sister-in-law, you won't come back at this time every day in the future, right? It's not safe to walk at night."
"The wine shop opened today, so I went back a little late. I won't be so late in the future."
Although there is no moon in the sky at the end of the month, the stars are particularly bright.
The mountain road was particularly quiet at night, with only the occasional chirping of insects and birds. Song Yuntang lifted the car curtain, leaned against the window and looked at the starry sky outside. After a busy day, he finally relaxed and felt particularly tired.
But she still had to hold on. After working in the kitchen all day and being exposed to fumes, she had to wash her hair, scrub her body, and change into clean clothes before she could go to bed.
Xu Qingye remained silent. He had walked the road from Lushan Village to the town countless times before. Even without lights, he could walk back by feeling.
Seeing Xu Wencheng yawning beside him, he thought that Song Yuntang must be very tired after getting up so early and working all day.
They didn't stop along the way and drove the mule cart back home in less than fifteen minutes.
The children had not returned home yet, and Xu Yongwang and Jiang Shi could not sleep well. After washing up, they each took a stool and sat at the gate of the yard, looking at the road to the village entrance.
Seeing the lantern hanging in front of the mule cart from afar, Xu Yongwang stood up.
“The kids are back.”
When Jiang saw this, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took the stool back to the yard and went to the kitchen to get some hot water.
Xu Wencheng jumped off the mule cart.
"Dad, why are you sitting here? Don't you usually go to bed at this time?"
"How could your parents sleep without you guys?" Xu Yongwang looked at the three children, "Are you all okay?"
Song Yuntang was also helped by Xu Qingye to jump off the mule cart and greeted Xu Yongwang.
Xu Wencheng hurriedly replied, "I'm fine. It's just that this is the first day I'm not used to this kind of work. I'm tired."
Xu Yongwang seemed to have heard some incredible gossip, "How can you feel tired? It seems that your sister-in-law's shop is doing very well."
Xu Wencheng's face was filled with pride.
"Of course I am tired, but my sister-in-law's shop is doing very good business."
I made almost ten taels a day.
He would never have dared to think about this before.
My sister-in-law is the best at making big money.
Just then, Jiang's voice was heard from the courtyard.
"The water is hot."
