My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

Chapter 84 There is no business without treachery

Ye Mianwan and 0485 said at the same time, "How many years have you been here?"

Wu Yisa sighed, "It's been 25 years, but this body is almost 50 years old."

0485 nodded, and every movement looked very funny. "No wonder this system thinks you look like an ancient person."

Ye Mianwan suppressed her smile and asked, "What about Tongtong?"

Wu Yisa shook his head slightly after hearing this. "Tongtong, I'm not sure. Ask it yourself when you go to Zhaoguo."

At this time, Wan Sutong looked up at the agarwood that was about to burn out and sighed, then closed the screen, opened the door and walked to the third floor. The third floor was a small attic. Although the space was small, it was bright, so Wan Sutong placed bookshelves and tables and chairs here. The books on the bookshelf were not the Four Books and Five Classics, but novels and comics exchanged from the system, and of course some painting books. In his spare time, Wan Sutong would sit behind the table to read books and paint.

At this time, Luo Lin was sitting behind the desk distributing the monthly salary. She was using her left hand to turn the abacus and her right hand to take notes. She was so busy that she didn't even notice Wan Sutong approaching her.

"Sister Luo." Luo Lin was startled, but when she saw it was Wan Sutong, she breathed a sigh of relief. "I was too absorbed in the subject matter. Has the young lady finished burning incense?"

Wan Sutong sighed, "The agarwood is almost burnt out."

Rowling nodded and said, "Has it been that long?" Then she continued to turn the abacus with her head down.

Wan Sutong looked at the densely packed names and numbers on the account book and frowned, "How long will it take?"

Luo Lin did not stop the action of her hands, but continued to answer Wan Sutong fluently, "It's almost time, Miss, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Wan Sutong shook her head and said, "I'm just asking. It's raining outside and I can't go anywhere."

Luo Lin hummed and picked up the brush and quickly wrote "a total of twenty-four taels of silver and seven strings of copper coins"

Wan Sutong asked in confusion, "Why didn't Sister Luo write thirty-one taels?"

After hearing this, Luo Lin chuckled, "Because the butler gets eleven taels, the groom gets three taels, the four guards get two taels each, the maid and Cui'er get one string of money, and there are four maids in the mansion who get five hundred coins a month, and the fireman gets three taels, but he said he only wants copper coins, not silver, so it's three strings of money."

Wan Sutong nodded after hearing this and said, "Oh, that's how it is."

At this time, the waiter suddenly ran up and said, "Boss! More than ten guests came and asked for you."

Wan Sutong frowned and hurried downstairs. Luo Lin quickly got up and followed him. When they reached the first floor, Wan Sutong breathed a sigh of relief. He saw that the person coming was Mr. Liu from North City. He was supporting an old lady in her seventies, and behind him were a large group of grandchildren and daughters.

Wan Sutong chuckled and walked forward slowly, "Master Liu is looking for me?"

Master Liu sighed after seeing Wan Sutong and said, "Boss, today is my mother's 74th birthday. I wanted to celebrate it in a grand manner, but... I thought it would be better to celebrate her birthday quietly in the mansion without inviting others. But my mother is stubborn and afraid of being discovered. She said she likes to eat your hot pot, so we came here. I hope you can be flexible."

Wan Sutong exclaimed when she heard this, "You and your mother are here to eat at my restaurant, what's the compromise?"

"Please take a seat. The hot pot will be served soon." Wan Sutong smiled and walked into the kitchen with Luo Lin.

"Waiter, go to the kitchen to help the shopkeeper. I'll take care of this." After saying that, Mr. Zhou invited everyone to sit down.

At this time, Wan Sutong came to the kitchen and said quickly, "Uncle Sun, please make a bowl of longevity noodles first, and let Luo Lin and I wash the vegetables." At this time, the waiter came in and smiled, "Boss, I'll go and make charcoal."

Uncle Sun nodded and started to boil water and knead the dough. Luo Lin picked up the wooden bucket and went to the backyard to fetch water for Wan Sutong. The waiter was burning charcoal next to Uncle Sun.

At this time, Wan Sutong began to exchange vegetables with 0533. The next moment, a large cabbage appeared in Wan Sutong's hand. After putting two large cabbages into the wooden basin, a large bundle of spinach appeared in her hand. Luo Lin, who had just returned from fetching water, was stunned and asked, "Miss, do you usually put these vegetables in the spiritual sea?"

Wan Sutong smiled awkwardly and nodded uncomfortably. "No one is coming here. If it is left in the house, it will rot a long time ago." Then she exchanged a bunch of coriander as thick as her arm from 0533.

Rowling said "oh" and put the barrel on the ground, then squatted beside the basin and started picking vegetables.

At this time, Wan Sutong took out another large piece of beef and handed it to Uncle Sun. "Uncle, do you remember how thick to cut it?"

Uncle Sun took the beef and after confirming that it was fresh, he smiled and said, "Remember! Cut it a little thinner than a kitchen knife."

Wan Sutong nodded and squatted down to pick vegetables with Luo Lin. At this time, the water in the iron pot just boiled. The waiter picked up the gourd ladle, filled it with hot water and poured it into the copper pot that had been lit on the charcoal fire. Then he carried the copper pot out.

Soon the waiter did the same thing and brought out the second copper pot, "Boss, here's the base!"

Wan Sutong finally reacted and quickly stood up and exchanged a bowl of hot pot base from 0533, then handed it to Uncle Sun and said, "Divide it into four portions. We have to leave some ingredients for dinner tonight."

"Okay!" Uncle Sun took the base material and used a kitchen knife to divide it into four portions. Then he took out two ceramic bowls from the bowl rack and put two pieces of it into the bowls.

Wan Sutong and Luo Lin had already washed three kinds of vegetables, divided each into three plates, and placed them on the tray for the waiter.

Not long after, the waiter came back. He picked up two trays and walked in front of Uncle Sun. Uncle Sun raised his hand and placed two ceramic bowls in the middle of the dishes. "Thank you, Uncle Sun," the waiter said, and walked into the main hall again.

Uncle Sun bent down and arranged the sliced ​​beef on a plate. After a series of smooth movements, he had arranged four plates of beef, but found that the remaining meat could just be placed on two plates. "Before I cut it, I was worried that it wouldn't be enough! I didn't expect there would be two more plates."

Wan Sutong chuckled and said in a very low voice, "It looks like a lot, but in fact, one plate is only four taels."

Uncle Sun gave Wan Sutong a thumbs up and said, "No business is without fraud." Then he said loudly, "Waiter, serve the food!"

The waiter's voice came from the main hall immediately: "Here we come!"

After washing all six kinds of vegetables, Wan Sutong slowly stood up and said, "Sister Luo, you don't need to help. I'll make a few side dishes. You take a rest first."

Rowling wiped the water off her hands with a handkerchief and said, "I will help you, young lady."

Wan Sutong giggled and said, "Thank you, Sister Luo."

Soon all the dishes were served, and the longevity noodles were just out of the pot. Wan Sutong's side dishes followed closely, including two plates of bamboo shoots fried with meat, two plates of smashed cucumbers, and two plates of fried pork and bamboo shoots.

Mr. Liu looked at the side dishes and longevity noodles and was stunned for a moment. "We didn't order any?"

Wan Sutong smiled and said, "These longevity noodles and four side dishes are for you."

Madam Liu waved her hands quickly and said, "Girl, you can't do that!"

Wan Sutong shook her head with a smile in her eyes. "You and Mr. Liu often take care of my business. Today is your birthday and you came to my Wanfulou in the rain. I have to show my appreciation and share your good luck."

Madam Liu's complexion became even more rosy when she heard this. "You are really good at talking, girl. Okay, okay, thank you very much."
