The next morning, Su Liuer got up early again and made breakfast for Zhu Hongan and Wang Po.
I made three bowls of clear soup noodles and fried two eggs for Zhu Hongan.
"Mom has heard from your Grandma Wang that you got first place in the monthly exam for the introductory class at the academy. I came home too late yesterday and couldn't celebrate with you, so I'll give you two fried eggs as a reward. What else do you want as a reward?"
Zhu Hongan looked at the two fried eggs covering the hot noodles with a smile and shook his head.
"You really don't want any other rewards?" Su Liuer asked again.
Zhu Hongan still shook his head and said, "Book, Academy, Award."
"The academy will give out rewards. That's fine. Let me see the rewards when they come out." Su Liuer smiled and pinched her son's little face.
"Yeah!" Zhu Hongan nodded happily. His mother was happy, and he was even happier.
Mrs. Wang said, "Don't just be happy, eat your noodles quickly."
The mother and son smiled at each other, then picked up their chopsticks and obediently started eating noodles.

It was already September and the shop had been open for almost a month. Su Liuer arrived in town early in the morning and started counting the accounts.
The account book is done every day. At first, Su Liuer did it herself, and later she handed it over to Yingli who was responsible for collecting money. Yingli learned quickly and did a good job in accounting. She only needed to check it every day.
So now Su Liuer only needs to sum up the income and expenditure of this month to complete the accounting, and it will be done quickly.
The shop had been open for less than a month, and Su Liuer had never thought about making a profit. As more new products were released, the cost also increased. The cost of saltpeter was not included. If it was included, she would not have made much money this month.
However, the store currently has nearly twenty taels of silver in working capital, which is not a small amount for just one month.
If the shop's business can continue to be prosperous, it will be able to distribute profits and dividends by the end of this year.
Su Liuer and Dali Xiaoli had said at the beginning that they would be paid for working in the shop. After calculating the accounts, she called them over and paid them.
The wages in Qingxi Town are not high. After all, it is a small town. Although there are many merchants coming and going and the population flow is quite large, no matter how much the boss earns, he will not think about giving more to the waiters. The wages of a waiter in a restaurant can be eighty to one hundred coins, which is already a very high wage.
When Dali and Xiaoli received their wages of one hundred coins, they were both stunned.
Ying Li's hands were shaking with excitement. This was the first legitimate money he had earned on his own, and it was more than what he had robbed before?!
"Boss, aren't you giving us too much? This should be the wages for both of us! My father only earns two or three hundred coins a month!" Ying Li put the money back. He was a little hesitant to take it.
Then he said to Su Liuer nervously, "Boss, you are not going to drive us away, are you?"
Su Liuer laughed out loud and said speechlessly: "You two are doing well, why should I chase you away? And I look like I can't count the money."
Ying Li and Ying Li shook their heads at the same time and said in unison: "Not like it." The boss has always been very smart!
Su Liuer nodded and said to the two of them, "Hurry up and collect your wages. Go back to work and do your best. Don't be lazy. If you are lazy, your wages will be deducted."
"Yes! Don't worry, boss!" Ying Li responded loudly and collected the wages.
Ying Li also expressed his determination, "We will definitely work hard and not bring shame or trouble to you, Boss. You are our adopted parent. If it weren't for you, we would still be idle local hooligans. We will follow you for the rest of our lives!"
These words were spoken with great passion, and Ying Li's eyes turned red. Ying Li standing next to him also looked very moved and almost cried.
