Chapter 126 Monthly Money
After listening to Xu Qingmeng's words, Gu Yunyi's eyes flickered slightly.
He clearly remembered telling Zhou Yuanjia before that he would not be at home today because he had something to do. Could it be that he forgot?
However, it seems like he comes here too frequently recently? But there didn't seem to be anything wrong.
Gu Yunyi kept his thoughts to himself, but still asked a few questions about Zhou Yuanjia unnoticeably while eating.
Xu Qingmeng didn't interact with him much. Because she was pregnant, she stayed in the house unless it was necessary, so naturally she didn't know anything.
He Shi knew what Zhou Yuanjia was thinking, and of course she also knew what the Zhou family was planning, but after all, Zhou Yuanjia didn't say anything, and the two families didn't say anything either, so He Shi naturally pretended to be ignorant.
He thought that it would be better to let nature take its course, and since Xinting was still young, she would just pretend that she knew nothing.
Xinting didn’t even think about it in this regard, so in the end, Gu Yunyi just asked in vain.
At the end of the month, the weather continued to get hotter, and Jinxiufang paid workers for the first time.
Xu Qingmeng and Shopkeeper Yang calculated the money earned by the shop. The daily sales of Jinxiuxuan have always been in short supply. It is no exaggeration to say that this flavor is popular throughout the whole Yan County.
Not to mention the gift boxes of snacks, which had even spread to the provincial capital. Almost all wealthy families with some money were members of Jinxiu Xuan. Some even gave membership cards of Jinxiu Xuan instead of snacks directly.
Moreover, when the rumors about the Gu family were spreading and the situation was quite serious, the turnover did not decline.
Therefore, when Xu Qingmeng saw the money on the account, she was not surprised at all.
Shopkeeper Yang was quite happy: "Boss, when I was helping Madam to manage the farm, the output of that year was not as much as what our Jinxiuxuan made in this month. I really admire your skills. At this rate, in a few months, we will have no problem opening a store in the capital."
Xu Qingmeng smiled and said, "We can only think about it now. We need to settle this first and pay everyone's wages before we can make it real."
Whether it's the people in the kitchen, the waiters packing and selling food in the front, or the ones making the drinks, they are all very busy every day. After working so hard for so long, they still need to see money so that they can be more motivated.
"Boss, don't worry, I'm ready."
It was agreed at the beginning that the wages of everyone in Jinxiuxuan would be linked to the snacks and drinks sold every day. The servants and anyone who sold out a membership card would also get a commission. In this regard, the snacks made in the kitchen would be somewhat disadvantageous, but Xu Qingmeng also said that everyone could participate, so even if they were in the kitchen, they all worked hard to promote the snacks after returning.
So, even though there is a slight difference in the wages, the overall salary is almost the same. It is much more than what other people earn working outside or doing odd jobs.
Shopkeeper Yang also intended to motivate everyone, so when it came time to pay wages, everyone paid together.
Everyone was overjoyed when they saw the silver and money in their hands.
Because Jinxiu Xuan was paying salaries today, Xu Qingmeng also said that everyone should start proofing early. After working so hard for so long, they could go back and rest early.
It was not yet dark, but the door of Jinxiuxuan was already closed.
The business of Jinxiuxuan is getting better and better. The Suxiang Pavilion opposite has changed its chef and with the joining of Zhong Xin, it has reversed its previous decline. Although it cannot be said to be crowded with customers, part of the reason is that the prices are cheap and the taste is indeed much better, so some customers have stayed.
Xu Qingmeng has never been the type to cut off someone's financial resources. Although the person behind Suxiang Pavilion didn't know, Xu Qingmeng guessed that it must be from the capital, and chose to open it opposite Jinxiuxuan.
One was to keep a better eye on the Gu family, and the other was to cause some trouble to Jinxiuxuan.
Nowadays, although it is still a hidden danger, we do not have the strength to do so at present. Since the opponent has survived, we still do not know what the opponent plans to do. But for now, we should not worry too much.
But now that she had guessed who was behind it, although she didn't know who it was specifically, it was definitely related to He's identity. She also didn't know if she was just being mean-spirited. Until July, there was no movement from the other side.
Since the beginning of July, Gu Yunyi has been staying at home almost all the time and has not gone out. Because he will go to the provincial capital for the examination in August, he has started to review his lessons at home every day.
Xu Qingmeng is now four months pregnant. Because of the pregnancy, her belly has begun to swell. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Xu Qingmeng is afraid of the heat, so she stays at home all day and tries not to go out unless necessary.
For this reason, He specifically told the two children at home not to make too much noise at home, so as not to disturb Gu Yunyi and Xu Qingmeng.
That day, Shen Jinwen sent Rongrong to Gu's restaurant again and brought her a basket of washed lotus roots.
"Hey, Boss Shen, what's wrong with your face?" He asked in surprise when she saw him.
There were several scratches on Shen Jinwen's right cheek, which looked like they were scratched by a cat.
Xu Qingmeng just happened to come out, and when she glanced at Shen Jinwen, she felt that it was like a couple quarreling.
The next second, before Shen Jinwen could speak, Rongrong couldn’t stop her mouth, looked up at He, and said, “Grandma He, this is my mother’s scratch.”
Xu Qingmeng: As expected.
He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shen Jinwen: "What's the matter? Are you guys having a fight?"
In the eyes of the Gu family, Shen Jinwen is a man who dotes on his wife. Mrs. Shen usually stays at home and never goes out, but looking at Rongrong's upbringing, you can tell that she has a good temper.
Xu Qingmeng had never met him, but He had been to the Shen family and met him two or three times. He spoke softly to He and was a very gentle person.
Shen Jinwen was actually very distressed, and now he didn’t really want to go back, so he sat on a small bench in the Gu family’s yard and spoke.
"What can I say? My wife wasn't like this before. She was very gentle and spoke softly. Now she's pregnant, isn't she? I don't know what's going on, but her temper has gotten worse. She gets angry if she says something wrong. Can't I afford to offend her?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Qingmeng and continued, "I don't know what's going on. But Madam Gu is also pregnant, and there's nothing different about her."
Xu Qingmeng thought of something and frowned.
In the book, Shen Jinwen seemed to be mentioned in the later part. After all, he and Gu Yunyi became close friends in the end, and he was also Gu Yunyi's savior.
Although there were only a few strokes, she remembered that Shen Jinwen was left alone with a child, and his wife seemed to have committed suicide by jumping into the river with the child when she was pregnant.
