"Master Zhao, please calm down first. This is all because of us servants' fault. It has nothing to do with my master's pettiness."

Cai Lun smiled apologetically and poured Zhao Qian a small glass of Maotai tea and handed it to him.

He could neither offend Zhao Qian nor speak ill of Ren Hao, so he could only put all the blame on his subordinates.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Qian didn't take the wine glass. He was not so easy to please and he didn't drink stupid wine.

"It's all our fault for not treating you well. Although our master has some grievances with you, he is not so stingy as to not even do business with you."

"My master also said that you, Young Master Zhao, should do the same business. As the saying goes, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. Harmony brings wealth." Cai Lun smiled apologetically and praised Ren Hao in front of the guests.

"Ah."

"If that's the case, then you should sell me the wine coins as soon as possible."

"I'm still waiting to mix it with wine." Zhao Qian looked like he had no shortage of money and took out two heavy silver ingots from his sleeve.

Cai Lun took the silver ingot in his hand and weighed it twice.

As expected of the prime minister's son, he is generous.

Any move he makes is two hundred taels.

"It's top-quality silver." Cai Lun said with a smile.

The servant who was accompanying Zhao Qian immediately said arrogantly: "What you said is nonsense, when has my young master ever used broken silver or low-quality sunken silver?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Cai Lun nodded, personally opened the box where the wine coins were stored, took out a handful of wine coins and started counting them.

After he finished counting, he handed it to Zhao Qian and said, "This is the Maozi liquor coin that can be exchanged for ten kilograms. Master Zhao, keep it well."

"Why are you only giving me ten pounds? I gave you two hundred taels."

"According to your restaurant's redemption, isn't it a one-to-one ratio?" Zhao Qian's eyes suddenly widened.

It's not that he is short of this little money, but he can't just be taken advantage of.

Every ounce of money must be spent clearly.

"Master Zhao, it's not that you can't have a one-to-one ratio, but you just have to queue up, right?" Cai Lun gave a reason and pointed at the drinkers queuing behind him.

These drinkers have long been unhappy with Zhao Qian's queue-cutting behavior.

If he wasn't the prime minister's son, he would have wanted to beat him up long ago.

"Forget it, forget it, ten kilograms is ten kilograms." Zhao Qian glanced at the long queue behind him and knew that he was in the wrong. If the royal family had not invested in this restaurant, he would have smashed the ten kilograms of the two hundred and two taels long ago.

"Give me five kilograms first." Zhao Qian casually returned a handful of wine coins, and felt that the wine exchange method of Maozi Restaurant was really troublesome.

"Master Zhao, I can't exchange five kilograms for the time being. Our store's production of maize is limited. Now I can only exchange two kilograms for you at most." Cai Lun stretched out two fingers to gesture.

"Two kilograms is two kilograms, just give it to me quickly." Zhao Qian was too lazy to argue, as he was already craving for alcohol.

"Okay." Cai Lun nodded and asked the waiter next to him to get two pounds of grass.

The waiter resented the slap he had just received and started to have bad thoughts.

As the old saying goes, if you want to offend anyone, don't offend the cook or the waiter.

When these two guys take revenge on someone, I don’t know what kind of secrets they will slip into your food.

“Bah bah bah!!!”

"I'll let you be so arrogant, go drink my saliva." The waiter spat into the wine bag a few times to avenge the slap he just received.

"Young Master Zhao, take it." Cai Lun took the wine bag from the waiter and handed it to Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian weighed the wine bag and threw it to the servant next to him.

After sending Zhao Qian away, Cai Lun asked the waiter to take over the business and continue selling wine coins.

However, what Cai Lun did not expect was that several people suddenly cut in line and ran over to buy.

They just saw Zhao Qian buying wine coins at a price of one to two, and they also planned to follow Zhao Qian's example.

Although this would result in a loss of half, it was still a far better deal than waiting in long queues.

The behavior of these people cutting in line made the drinkers in line angry.

If they can't afford to offend Zhao Qian, can they afford to offend others?

These drinkers who cut in line were immediately denounced by everyone. How much money do they have in their sleeves? How dare they follow Zhao Qian's example and cut in line?

Cai Lun originally wanted to calm the public anger, but when he saw that these drinkers who cut in line had only pooled together a few taels of silver, he thought to himself, how could they still cut in line?

It's not embarrassing enough.

Cai Lun sent these drinkers who cut in line away and stipulated that those who cut in line must pay at least 100 taels of silver, otherwise they would have to queue up obediently.

After solving the queue-jumping problem, Cai Lun handed the rest of the matters to the waiter, and he went into the building to find Nong Mei and the group of beautiful girls.

They helped sell the Hu chairs and made great contributions, so Ren Hao said he would reward them.

Cai Lun took out five thousand taels of government notes, and gave one thousand taels of them to Nong Mei. After all, she was the one who made the greatest contribution, so she must be rewarded more.

As for the remaining 4,000 taels of government notes, Ren Hao asked the remaining girls to divide it up, giving each girl 500 taels of government notes.

As for his reward, he did not want it. After all, he had transformed from a commoner into the steward of the Ren residence, which was already a huge reward.

"Butler Cai, you are so generous. Thank you, Butler Cai."

After the girls were divided up the palace tickets, they leaned close to Cai Lun with fawning faces, vying to help him massage his shoulders. Those who didn't get the chance would help massage his legs.

After being served by Cai Lun, he closed his eyes and hummed.

However, even though he enjoyed himself, he still did not forget Ren Hao's kindness.

He did not take all the credit on himself, but told the girls that the person they should thank was not him, but Master Ren Hao.

The master asked him to bring five thousand taels of government bills to share among everyone.

"You now have the government bills in your hands. If you need silver, you can go to the government office to get it at any time."

"With this money, you can go home, start a small business, find a good family to marry, and live a good life in the future."

"If you don't want to go back, that's fine. Just follow our master and work hard. Although the money you earn here is not as much as you did in Zuihualou, it's all clean."

"Our master will certainly not treat you unfairly." Cai Lun said to these girls, letting them choose their own future path.

These girls look at each other. If they still have families, they wouldn't stay in Zuihualou forever.

It's because I have nowhere else to go that I have to stay in Zuihualou and do that kind of stuff.

"Butler Cai, we have no home to return to. We are willing to stay here."

"I'd like to stay, too."

"And I."

……

Following Nong Mei's words, the other girls also spoke up and none of them were willing to leave. After all, staying here was a good place.

Cai Lun nodded with satisfaction, thinking that his daily care for them was not in vain.
