My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

"I wish you good health every year, and spring grass grows every year"

Madam Liu nodded lovingly, "Okay, okay! Thank you, shopkeeper."

Wan Sutong smiled and said, "Take your time to eat. I won't bother you." Then she looked at Mr. Zhou and took Luo Lin up to the second floor.

Mr. Zhou waited for a while and then went upstairs. "What's the matter, shopkeeper?"

Wan Sutong signaled Mr. Zhou to go to the third floor, and Mr. Zhou immediately understood and went up to the third floor.

Wan Sutong knocked on the door of the first room on the east side. "Old man, do you need the food to be brought up, or would you like to go downstairs to eat?" The old man opened the door and said, "You have guests downstairs, I won't disturb you, just ask the waiter to bring it up."

Wan Sutong nodded and then turned around and went downstairs to the waiter. "Waiter, the food will be ready soon. Send it to the guest's room."

The waiter nodded repeatedly, "Okay, go and have a rest."

Wan Sutong tried her best to appear calm, but when she got to the third floor, her true colors showed up. She hugged Luo Lin excitedly and said, "Great! I'm open now!"

Mr. Zhou was still calculating on his abacus. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "Meat and vegetables cost 58 wen, and vegetables cost 15 wen. Not counting the cost, the total is 412 wen. But if this is the only business this month..." Mr. Zhou looked at Wan Sutong hesitantly.

Wan Sutong was like a deflated ball when he heard this. "Mr. Even your salary is not enough..." Mr. Zhou nodded.

0533At this time, a burst of laughter came out, "I was so busy that my feet hit the back of my head, and in the end I still lost money"

Wan Sutong sighed heavily and said, "Let's go, everyone should be busy with their own things." After saying that, he returned to the second floor dejectedly.

At this time, the waiter happened to come upstairs with the food. Seeing Wan Sutong's expression, the waiter hurriedly comforted her, "You can't just look at the present. What if the business suddenly gets better one day? Don't you have guests staying here? Have you forgotten that after deducting the cost of meals, you can make a net profit of 342 coins a day." After that, the waiter walked to the door of the first room on the east side and said, "Sir, the food is ready."

Wan Sutong nodded and thought it made sense. "Yes! Three meals a day only cost 58 coins! As long as he lives here, I will make a net profit of 342 coins every day!" Luo Lin smiled and shook her head when she heard this, thinking, "Young lady is really still a child at heart."

Half a month was neither long nor short. After that day, no customers came to Wanfulou for seven days. But after the seventh day, customers poured into Wanfulou like a tide. Seeing the rising profits, Wan Sutong even smiled in his sleep.

The old man only ate breakfast in the building every day and then left in a hurry. He did not come back until the sun was about to set. He had not found his friend for half a month, which made Wan Sutong very curious about who the old man was looking for.

At this time, the sun was setting and the old man hurried back. He planned to settle the money for today's accommodation according to his habit, but he found that his wallet was missing.

"I don't care if you lost your purse or you deliberately didn't give it to me. You can't eat for free here. You either earn enough money from us or go begging on the street. You have to give me the money anyway!"

At this time, Wan Sutong and Luo Lin on the second floor heard the discussion downstairs and hurried downstairs, "Waiter! Don't be rude!"

The old man said anxiously, "Boss, I really didn't mean it! Today a beggar passed by me, and I didn't pay attention to him at first... But who knew... then..."

Wan Sutong nodded when she saw this, and looked at the guests who were holding chopsticks and looking back, "It's just a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding, everyone eat your own food, sorry to bother you." After she finished speaking, the guests sighed and turned their heads away.

Wan Sutong looked at the waiter and said, "Go and do your work. Leave it to me." Then he looked at the old man and said, "Come with me upstairs and talk."

The waiter was about to speak to stop him when he saw Rowling coming to him and said, "Come to the kitchen, I want to talk to you."

The waiter sighed, "It's obviously his fault, why did he come to talk to me?"

Luo Lin glared at him and said "Come here" and walked into the kitchen, smiling and greeting the guests along the way. "I'm sorry to make you all laugh. My waiter misheard me and disturbed your fun."

The waiter reluctantly followed Luo Lin into the kitchen. After entering the kitchen, Luo Lin began to scold in a low voice, "Do you know that if what happened today gets out, it will not only bring shame to the old man, but also to the shopkeeper and the entire Wanfulou!"

The waiter stiffened his neck and asked back, "How is this possible?"

Luo Lin sighed heavily, "Just think about what people would say if today's incident got out! They would say that a guest in Wanfulou lost his wallet today. He was a big shot when he stayed at the hotel! If he doesn't have money, he will be thrown away!"

After saying this, Luo Lin raised her hand and tapped the waiter's forehead. "Where do you want the shopkeeper to put his face? The nobles in Kyoto must be thinking, if I didn't bring any money that day, would I be kicked out too?"

At this time, in Wan Sutong's room on the second floor, "Old man, I know you don't want to eat for free today. You have spent a lot of money in my building in the past half month. I trust you."

The old man nodded and sighed, "Thank you for your kindness, boss."

Wan Sutong smiled and said, "It's okay. I don't know if you can write poems or paint. I'll give you the four treasures of the study and you just need to paint. My guests are all masters from wealthy families. If anyone likes the scrolls, I won't ask for much, just enough for accommodation. You can keep the rest."

The old man shook his head and said with some embarrassment, "Shopkeeper... I am a doctor."

When Wan Sutong heard this, his eyes lit up for a moment, and he smiled calculatingly, "It's okay, it's late today, you can stay here first." Then he turned into half a string of copper coins and said, "Take this five hundred coins, hire a carriage, and have some porridge and side dishes, which will be enough to get to Liang State." Then he handed it to the old man.

The old man sighed and did not take the copper coin. "How can this be possible? I can't take it."

Wan Sutong shook her head slightly and said very considerately, "Please keep it. You have taken care of my business for half a month. I can't be too cruel and let you live on the streets. When you return to Liang State, come back and return the five hundred coins and the accommodation fee to me."

The old man laughed heartily and waved his hand, "Boss, it's not that I don't have silver, it's that your waiter didn't hear me finish. I have fifty taels of silver, and I want to record it first and settle it together when I leave." After saying that, he really turned into a silver ingot.

Wan Sutong closed her eyes speechlessly upon seeing this, and complained in her heart, "I am the poor one... He spent the money that I could only earn in two years. I had planned to ask him to teach me medicine out of his kindness, but in the end... my plan fell through..."

0533 I burst into laughter instantly. "Hahahahaha, host, I am embarrassed for you."

Wan Sutong forced a smile and looked at the old man. "Okay, I'll let Mr. Zhou keep your account now." After saying that, Wan Sutong still didn't give up. "System, do you think he is looking for a suitable disciple? I see that this is how the hermit masters recruit disciples? He may be testing me today!"

0533 nodded in agreement, "Very likely"

When Wan Sutong heard 0533's affirmation, she quickly asked tentatively, "By the way, have you found the person you were looking for?"

The old man nodded with approval in his eyes, "I have found it!"

When Wan Sutong heard this, she felt as if a crow was flying over her head and cawing. 0533 also lowered his head in embarrassment.

After a moment, Wan Sutong smiled very forcefully and said, "Then you go back and have a rest. I'll ask Mr. Zhou to do the accounting." Then he left in disgrace.

However, where Wan Sutong couldn't see, the old man raised his lips slightly and nodded in approval.
