The group of spoiled young masters looked pale and wilted, like eggplants that had been hit by frost.
Carrying around the capital with that kind of equipment, it's utterly shameful!
They were all from wealthy families and knew quite a few people.
How embarrassing would it be to bump into someone you know on the street?
Yuan Yao's gaze fell on the group, and she smiled sweetly, "It seems you're all very unwilling?"
"Yes, yes, I'm willing!" The playboy in purple nodded hurriedly.
The drawing on this paper was done by him!
He had just been praised by the princess, so he couldn't back down now.
After some pushing and shoving, the group finally picked up the gongs and drums and carried the frame.
"when……"
"Thump..."
Zhao Lu yelled in his hoarse voice, "Take a look, have a look!"
Sun Changrui chimed in, "Si Shi Chun Grand Opening Special! Starting tomorrow at noon, all desserts will be 20% off! 20% off!"
Wang Rong covered his face: "There are also plenty of delicious desserts, and tastings are free..."
The shouts and calls were actually quite genuine.
The shopkeeper, leaning against the door, grinned from ear to ear: "Princess, that was a brilliant move!"
He dared not do anything himself, so he found five free laborers to help with the opening promotion.
Yuan Yao blinked: "This kind of punishment, like beating and scolding, easily makes enemies and brings trouble upon yourself."
"Look, I'm happy using this method to punish them. They won't hate me, and it even gives Si Shi Chun free advertising."
Killing two birds with one stone!
No, it's a win-win situation!
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Although the princess is young, she is quick-witted. With that, I have a better idea of what to do."
Um?
What is reliable?
What does that mean?
Could it be that this shopkeeper is worried that she will lose money by opening this shop?
Yuan Yao smiled and said, "Uncle Shopkeeper, let's go inside first and talk about the arrangements after the opening?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper adopted a solemn expression: "Princess, please."
After Yuan Yao entered, she said to Dan Qing, "Sister Dan Qing, please arrange for two people to cook some refreshing soup, chill it, and send it to those young masters."
Danqing nodded: "This servant will go right away."
Yuan Yao led the shopkeeper upstairs.
After going upstairs and sitting down, Yuan Yao asked, "Uncle Shopkeeper, I haven't asked your name yet!"
After two meetings, she discovered that the shopkeeper was not the same person as he appeared on the surface.
She had a feeling that if she used this shopkeeper well, he would become her capable assistant.
The shopkeeper poured her a glass of water before saying, "My name is Bai Shu."
sweet potato?
Yuan Yao's eyes widened.
Noticing her expression, the shopkeeper quickly added, "The white is the 'Bai' of 'Sichuan,' and the 'Shu' of 'Sichuan.'"
Is it Bai Shu?
Yuan Yao pursed her lips and asked in a childish voice, "Uncle Bai, are you from Shu?"
“That’s right,” said Manager Bai. “I left Sichuan when I was a teenager and came to the capital.”
At that time, I had run out of money and almost starved to death in a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city, but fortunately the Emperor came to my rescue.
Later, the emperor saw that I was clever, knew some characters, and could do some accounting, so he kept me by his side and gave me food to eat.
"I see." Yuan Yao nodded.
Manager Bai continued, "Although Baiweilou has not been doing well in recent years and has not made any money, I still have some expertise in management."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao said in her childish voice, "Uncle Bai's abilities are recognized by my father, so I'm not worried."
I specifically called Uncle Bai over because I wanted to ask him how much salary my father gives him each month.
"Monthly salary?" Manager Bai was somewhat surprised.
Yuan Yao's small face was full of seriousness: "Yes, monthly salary."
Manager Bai smiled.
Having traveled all over the country, this was the first time at his age that he had sat down with a three-year-old to discuss serious matters.
Shopkeeper Bai said, "Princess, you don't need to pay me a monthly salary. His Highness has already paid me for what I wanted."
"No!" the little baby said seriously, "What Daddy gives is Daddy's, and what Yao'er gives is Yao'er's."
Moreover, being the manager of Sishi Chun is quite different from being the manager of Baiwei Lou before.
Once the business is up and running, it will only get better and better.
At that time, he will not have time to do anything else.
"How about this," Yuan Yao said, "From now on, Yao'er will give Uncle Bai 10% of the profits from Four Seasons Spring every year. What do you think, Uncle?"
"One...one percent of the profits?" Manager Bai was astonished.
Princess, what a generous gesture!
No!
The princess is just a baby; she doesn't understand anything and is just talking nonsense.
Manager Bai wiped away a cold sweat: "Princess, even 10% of the profits is no small amount."
If I remember correctly, the princess entered the Imperial Academy, but only studied there for about half a month?
"Does Your Highness know what 'one-tenth' means?"
"One-tenth, isn't that one-tenth?" Yuan Yao tilted her head, looking puzzled. "Could it be that you don't calculate it that way?"
Manager Bai continued wiping his sweat: "Yes, one-tenth. That means that for every ten taels of silver that Sishichun earns, I get one tael."
Yuan Yao nodded: "That's right!"
It scared her.
She thought that the calculation methods she learned in modern times were no longer applicable in ancient times!
Looking at the calm little boy, Manager Bai took a sip of water, forced himself to calm down, and then said, "Princess, this is inappropriate!"
"What's wrong with it?" Yuan Yao asked.
Manager Bai said, "One-tenth is too much! Princess, please pay me my monthly salary instead."
Each month, the princess only needs to pay me ten taels of silver.
Although Yuan Yao had been in this ancient world for quite some time, she was unfamiliar with the prices of goods here...
However, one thing is certain: ten taels of silver is clearly not enough!
Moreover, what she wanted was not just a shopkeeper, but a capable assistant!
Yuan Yao thought for a moment, then slapped her chubby little hand on the table: "Uncle Bai, stop arguing with me!"
From now on, you will receive 10% of the profits generated by Si Shi Chun each year!
And you, having taken this money, not only must you be a good manager, but when I'm not around, you must devote yourself wholeheartedly to running Four Seasons Spring!
Of course, if you really don't want to, Yao'er won't force you.
Upon hearing Yuan Yao's words, Manager Bai opened his mouth, speechless for a long time.
After a long while, he nodded with difficulty and solemnity: "Bai Shu, I will definitely devote myself wholeheartedly to the Four Seasons Spring and manage it as my own life's work!"
Only by taking this money could he put Yuan Yao at ease.
Since that's the case, he should accept it.
Moreover, Yuan Yao genuinely respects him...
That evening, after Yu'er and the others returned from their private residence in the suburbs of the capital, the group went back to the palace.
After returning, Yuan Yao told the Ninth Prince about what had happened during the day.
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince could only smile wryly.
The next day.
As soon as the palace gates opened, two unassuming carriages passed through and drove out of the palace.
The sky was still dark, the moon was bright and the stars were few.
Yuan Yao lay in the arms of the Ninth Prince and mumbled, "Father, actually, Yao'er can handle it by herself!"
The Ninth Prince pinched her cheek: "What, do you think I'm in your way?"
Yuan Yao quickly opened her eyes and sat up: "Yao'er doesn't mean that! Yao'er just thinks that Daddy is too tired on weekdays and wants Daddy to sleep a little longer!"
The Ninth Prince smiled with satisfaction, pulled her back into his arms, and said in a delicate and gentle voice, "I feel that today is an important day in my little dumpling's life, and I must come and see it for myself."
An important day in your life?
you do not say!
This is the first business she started here!
Thinking about it, Yuan Yao leaned against the Ninth Prince's arms, looked up, and asked in a childish voice, "Daddy, on Yao'er's next important day, Daddy will be with Yao'er, right?"
