Chapter 161 Mission Arrives
Chapter 161 Mission Arrives
"Fifteen thousand seven hundred taels, fifteen thousand eight hundred taels"
As soon as Li Shuchen finished speaking, Gu Ziying stopped calculating.
The two exchanged a glance.
"Just right"
Li Shuchen burst into laughter, hahahaha
"We're rich! We're rich! Come on, Ziying, let's divide the money, just like before!"
Gu Ziying: "I only need 20% this time. I just arranged the banquet; I didn't spend much money."
Li Shuchen shook his head: "No, no, the venue setup, the chairs and benches, the pots and pans, were all carefully selected by Ziying."
She'd been working tirelessly all day at the orchard, buying and selling fruit, and hosting banquets—busier than me!
And the plum wine that was such a great help, I don't even know how to thank you enough.
In short, dividing it according to the previous 30% would be more appropriate.
Besides, don't you want to save more money for your dowry?
Upon hearing Li Shuchen's last words, Gu Ziying blushed instantly and said coquettishly...
"Shu Chen"
Li Shuchen laughed loudly.
"Haha, alright, alright, we'll go with the 30% ratio."
Gu Ziying calmed herself down and started working on the abacus.
Shu Chen received 6,467 taels and 200 cash.
I received four thousand eight hundred and fifty taels and four hundred cash.
"Changning received 3,233 taels and 600 cash."
Yu Ying received 1,616 taels and 800 cash.
Li Shuchen counted out the money and divided it up.
"I'll hold onto Changning's money for now; she'll come to the inn to find me tomorrow at noon."
"it is good"
Li Shuchen took 360 taels of silver from his own money and 400 taels of silver from Yu Ying's money, then left.
"Seventh Sister"
"Miss Li, is there anything you need?"
"This is four hundred taels of silver that I took from the money Yuying received. You and the girls each get twenty taels."
"And here's the hard-earned money I'm giving you, ten taels each, and ten taels each for Ying'er and the others too. Please go and distribute it."
Seventh Sister took the money, overjoyed.
Thank you, Miss Li.
Seeing the girls jumping for joy like children getting candy after receiving the money made Li Shuchen happy, and he was also happy for Yu Ying, seeing how happy the girls under her command were.
I wonder how Yu Ying is doing, whether the war is going well, and whether she has enough money.
I'll write a letter to Yuying when I get back to ask about the situation.
September 16th
Li Shuchen got up early and directed the girls to pick fruit.
I picked enough to fill three carts, but I don't know if it will be enough to sell.
Caiyi: "Miss Li, the carriage is loaded, shall we go?"
Li Shuchen waved his hand and said
"Let's go, make money, make a lot of money!"
Gu Ziying: "Shu Chen has the air of a wealthy businessman."
Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen raised her chin and replied.
"That's right, I want to be so rich I'm practically rolling in money, so rich that gold would fall from my nose if I shook myself."
"Good, good, good, even a shake will cause gold to fall."
Li Shuchen: "Setting Off"
The woman in colorful clothes escorted the fruit to the Simei Fresh Fruit Shop.
Li Shuchen returned to the inn and put the money in the Sanbao Hall.
Then he went downstairs to the kitchen to teach Chef Wang and Wang Shuang'er how to make early summer milk tea.
It took half an hour for them to come out.
As soon as I came out, I heard Li Wanbai shouting incoherently.
"Hiss~, hiss~"
Hey~, hey~
"Roar~, roar~"
Li Shuchen strode over and saw Li Wanbai standing motionless in front of the stable, so he said...
"What are you yelling about? Have you lost your mind after being away from the inn for two days? Don't you even recognize your own place? Go inside and stay there."
Li Wanbai was very dissatisfied, breathing heavily through her nose and tapping the ground with her front hooves to signal Li Shuchen to check.
Look, look! I'm not going in with this awful state of place.
Li Shuchen looked carefully at the ground.
It was overflowing with duck droppings, piles of them everywhere, not even enough to fit a horse's hoof.
It's not Li Wanbai's fault; even if she were allowed to go into a place like this, filled with flying debris and a stench, she wouldn't.
Li Shuchen coughed twice, feeling embarrassed.
"Wanbai, I admit I was too loud just now. I misunderstood you. Wait a minute, I'll clean your place right now."
Li Shuchen picked up a broom and started sweeping, but as he swept, he realized something was wrong.
She took all the ducks to the orchard! Who left all this wet, fresh duck droppings? Who did it?!
"Aunt Wang, what's all this duck droppings on the ground?"
"Oh dear, Miss, I forgot to mention, yesterday a lady named Lin delivered twenty ducks. She said she had signed a contract with you and asked if I wanted them, so I kept them."
The ducks had left droppings all over the ground, so I herded them all together and penned them up. Now I'm cleaning up the duck droppings.
"No need. Just kill all those ducks, throw them in the oven, and add a special dish, 'Happy Roast Duck,' to the menu."
"Okay miss"
After giving instructions to Chef Wang, Li Shuchen wrapped a face towel around himself and quickly began cleaning.
half an hour later
Li Wanbai looked at her brand new and clean nest and excitedly squealed.
Li Shuchen removed her face mask.
"Finally finished cleaning, Wanbai, you can go in now."
Li Wanbai trotted along with small, graceful steps, entering her doghouse.
Li Shuchen lowered her head and sniffed her clothes. They stank, they stank!
Immediately take a shower and change clothes
I had just finished getting dressed when I remembered that Happiness Roast Duck hadn't set a price yet, so I hurriedly went downstairs again.
"Uncle Xu, a serving of Happy Roast Duck costs ten taels of silver."
If you buy a duck alone, it costs one tael of silver, and half a duck costs five hundred coins.
Manager Xu stroked his beard and said
"Miss, Xiangchi Restaurant sells a whole roast duck for five taels of silver; they don't sell half a duck."
"Five taels of silver for just ducks?"
"Yes, miss."
Li Shuchen thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Then we shouldn't disrupt the market price, so we'll sell a whole duck for five taels of silver, and half a duck for three taels of silver."
New products include Crispy Peach Nourishing Milk Tea, Red Date Warming Milk Tea, Persimmon Stomach-Soothing Milk Tea, Apple Fatigue-Relieving Milk Tea, and Peach Soothing Milk Tea, each priced at 100 coins.
"Understood, Miss."
After explaining the price, Li Shuchen took the grapes to Simei Fresh Fruit Shop.
Upon entering, one sees fruit racks filled with fresh fruit.
"Ziying, you're here too."
"Come and see, why is Shu Chen here too?"
"I'm here to take two girls to the inn specifically to carve roast duck. Did you write down the price of the fruit?"
"It's finished writing."
Caiyi: "Miss Li, who would you like to take to the inn?"
"I'd like to bring Coco and Xiaoxiao along, could you ask them if they'd be willing?"
"Alright, Miss Li, please wait a moment."
Li Shuchen arranged the fruit...
"Is Ziying planning to open for business today?"
"We're closed for the day to rest and renovate. We'll reopen tomorrow."
"Alright"
Caiyi: "Miss Li, Coco and Xiaoxiao are willing. I've brought them."
Gu Ziying: "Didn't the inn get new items today? I can keep an eye on things here, Shu Chen, go and get busy at the inn."
"Okay, Coco, come with me."
As soon as Li Shuchen stepped into the Happiness Inn, he saw a girl ordering milk tea.
"Shopkeeper, I'd like a red date warming milk tea."
"Please wait a moment, young lady, I'll be right there."
