Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

More orders came in one after another. They were all large orders.

I guess they were thinking of eating it during the New Year tomorrow. Fortunately, it is winter now and the temperature is low, so it can be kept for a day or two.

It was already past four in the afternoon when all the orders were completed and delivered.

It looks like there's not many people around.

"Clean up the kitchen, distribute the remaining sweet soup and cakes and drinks to everyone, and clean up. We are closing the shop for the holiday."

"Yeah, thank you, boss."

Everyone began to happily pack up their things and clean up.

It took just over half an hour to finish.

Each person got two portions of sweet soup, two cups of drinks, and two portions of cakes.

"Zhang Yu, give me the monthly salary."

"Okay, ma'am."

"The shop opened on the 21st. Originally, the salary was 10 days' wages, but this is the first year and it coincides with the New Year, so we will pay everyone one month's wages as a New Year's red envelope for you."

"Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!"

I was so excited. I made 10 cents in just 9 days.

The boss is generous. I will follow him till death.

This job is simple and not tiring. I eat well, wear well and live warmly.

The most important thing is that the wages are high.

Loved it.

After cleaning up, I started to close the shop.

Zhao Yuanzhen went to the storytelling shop to get the account books and money, and asked them to clean up the shop in front, close it and lock it.

Leaving behind the gatekeeper, the rest all got on the carriage and returned to the village.

There were three carriages with more than 20 people and some other things. It was still a bit crowded.

After the New Year, the family will have to buy some more carriages.

The dessert shop needs it for takeout delivery, and the milk delivery at home has also been occupied for a long time.

Several vehicles are also needed for the Yellow River ferry.

Make a note of this and go buy it after the Chinese New Year.

It was snowing, so the carriage moved slowly. It was almost 7 o'clock when we arrived at the village.

Everyone got off the carriage and said goodbye and went home.

Zhao Yuanzhen sent Zhang Sandao back.

"Mom, please come inside. It's very cold."

"Okay, why don't you come in and sit down."

"No, I'm going back."

"Yeah. Be safe and go back."

He waved his hand and hurried into the house.

It’s really cold.

"Dad, Mom, Xinyou, you're back. Didn't you say you'd be home after 8 o'clock?"

"The second brother's family was dismissed early. They said it was snowing heavily, so they asked everyone to come back early."

"Well, mother, come over here by the brazier, I'll go cook for you, Xinyou, come here."

Wu Erping called Zhang Xinyu away.

"Xin You, tell me how much you earned?"

"Mother, Second Aunt gave me 9 cents of silver for one month, and also gave me some sweet soup from the shop. I put it in the kitchen. Mother, you can eat some, and then share it with Zihu and Zixue."

"What about the monthly salary? Your grandfather and his family only got two taels of silver."

"Yes, Second Aunt gave me 2 taels."

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. Go and warm yourself by the fire. Mom will make you something to eat."

"Yeah, okay, mom."

2 taels and 9 cents of silver, my god, 2.9 cents of silver in ten days. This is too easy to earn, hahahaha, this year is really a happy year.

The more Wu Erping thought about it, the happier she became, and she couldn't control the smile on her face.

"Mom, you're back."

"Well, go unload the things from the car and move them into the warehouse. Ask the cook to prepare the meal, we haven't eaten yet."

"Mom, don't worry, everything is ready and we'll be waiting for you to come back to set the table."

"Okay, let's clean up and set the table."

Zhao Yuanzhen went to wash up and came over to eat.

"Xiaohui, has the monthly allowance been paid?"

"Mom, it hasn't been sent yet!"

"Okay, I'll give them the money after dinner. Let's give each of them 1 tael, as a New Year's red envelope."

"Okay, Mom, shall we settle the bill tonight?"

"Okay, come over after you finish cleaning up and settle the bill. You can ask Zhang Yu to help you with the shop's bills."

"Okay, mother."

Zhao Yuanzhen went back to her room, took a shower, packed up, and waited for them to settle the bill.

It was almost 10 o'clock when they came.

"Mom, the shop has a lot of accounts to deal with, so it took some time."

"No problem, let's get started."

"Yes. This month's expenses are 4388 taels, including the food, meat and vegetables purchased for the New Year. There are also the money for hiring servants, buying a shop, decorating the shop, etc. As for the money for buying a dessert shop, I haven't calculated it. Mother said that we will calculate it when the family is rich in the future. It is taels.

This month's income is: 8500 taels from the storybook shop, 6180 from the dessert shop. Milk: 4700 taels. I didn't sell any coal this month because I had to supply my family and the shop.

Last month, there was 2685.5 taels of silver left. After deducting expenses, there was still 5 taels of silver in the bank. Here is the account book, take a look. "

Everyone was a little dizzy. They knew that the shop was making money, but they didn't expect that they could make more than 2 taels in less than a month.

What a concept! How much silver is this 20,000 taels?

Get rich! Get rich!

After spending some time checking the account book, I found that there were no mistakes. Qian Xiaohui's account book was very detailed.

"Since there is no problem, let's put it away. Let's talk about some recent problems. Today, Xin Bai was robbed while delivering milk. Although nothing happened, this incident has sounded the alarm for us. We must pay attention to safety and carry weapons when we go out in the future. I will report to buy weapons later.

The dessert shop is staffed with six guards. Ask Zhang Dao to pick some people who are good at swordsmanship and bring them to the shop together on the sixth day of the first lunar month. No matter what each person is assigned to do, swordsmanship cannot be delayed and must be practiced every day. "

"Okay, Mom, I'll go pick it out in a minute."

"Yes, Zhang Yu, you should select a few people to be shopkeepers. When spring comes, the sugar water shop will be handed over to the new shopkeeper. You have to come with me to the Yellow River ferry."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Okay, let's all go. Xiaohui and Zhijuan stay."

"Okay, mother."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Come here, I'll take your pulses."

"Okay, mother."

"Well, there's nothing wrong with it. Just take good care of it and get more rest. How about Bai Wei and Bai Zhi? Are they useful?"

"Mother, she's quite useful. Bai Wei is quite clever. She used to be a maid in the old employer's house, so she's quite sensible. I feel relieved to leave some things to her."

"Although Bai Zhi has never done this before, she is calm and careful, and is willing to learn. If she is taught for a few more days, she will be able to succeed."

"That's good. Just let them do what they can do. Don't tire yourself out."

"I know, mother."

"Well, let's go back and rest."

Today's robbery made Zhao Yuanzhen realize that the capital is not a safe place and he still has to arm himself.

The servants need to be equipped with weapons. If there are not enough servants, we have to buy another batch.

There are 31 servants now. After removing those who have their own duties, there are still 6 unassigned. The dessert shop will transfer 6 more.

In the spring, a group of them will also be taken away from the Yellow River.

There must be enough people left at home, otherwise she would really be worried about staying by the Yellow River.

I'm also buying some powerful pills to equip the servants who have taken the loyalty pills.

The Dali Pills are not expensive, 1000 per pill, and you can buy 5000 pills.

Points - 500W.

Tell Lan Ying to prepare the bath water.

Be prepared and take out 5000 powerful pills.

I wiped the blood with a handkerchief and lay down to rest for a while. The pain disappeared and I regained my strength, so I went to take a shower.

Maybe you just get used to it after spitting it out for a while.

I took a shower and went to bed.

Tomorrow is my first New Year in this world, so I have to get up early.

Although Zhao Yuanzhen felt that she had gotten up early enough, the yard was still very busy as everyone was busy pasting couplets and window decorations.

Everyone was happy wearing their newly distributed New Year clothes.

Zhang Qingyan had already made clothes for the family and sent them to each room.

It is designed to be very beautiful according to personal characteristics.

Whether it is color matching, style, or embroidery, they are all carefully selected.

I feel that it is much better looking than the designs in the shop.

Zhang Qingyan came over to help her get clothes and gave her a new set of clothes.

Lan Ying was in charge of dressing up.

They all got dressed and went out.

"Hello, Madam. Happy New Year, Madam."

"Well, okay, Lan Ying, reward."

Zhao Yuanzhen gave red envelopes to those who spoke sweetly.

The red envelopes had been prepared in advance. Each red envelope contained one penny of silver and was used as a reward. Each room had one.

Lan Ying quickly took out red envelopes and gave them to those who were sweet-talkers one by one.

Looking at the yard that had been cleaned up neatly, various red couplets and window decorations were posted.

Even the big red lanterns were hung up.

There was a lot of joy.

Rice for breakfast.

The cook prepared 8 dishes.

Everyone had breakfast happily.

Zhao Yuanlan and his friends also drank some wine.

Zhao Yuanzhen then remembered that she should bring out some juice. Although there were sugar water and milk tea at home, juice was also indispensable.

I'll put some in the warehouse later.

After finishing the meal, we started to arrange the dishes.

Peanuts, melon seeds, dried fruits, persimmons, sugar-roasted chestnuts, Anguo pears, and sugar.

Zhao Yuanzhen bought a lot of candies, including milk candies, fruit candies, etc.

"Nanny, this nougat is really delicious, better than any I've had before. Can I have some to share with my friends?"

"Of course, go ahead."

"Thank you, Nanny."

Then she filled the small shoulder bag designed by my second aunt and ran away.

Each servant’s dormitory was given a New Year’s platter.

Peel off a piece of nougat and eat it happily.

Madam is really great. Although the mansion is not in the capital, I eat well, dress well, and live well here. Everything is good.

The kitchen is busy preparing lunch.

Although there are a lot of people, there are many cooks in the house, 16 in total, so it is not too tiring to prepare.

We eat steamed buns at noon.

I cooked a big pot of five-red glutinous rice porridge, which is peanuts, dates, wolfberries, brown sugar, red beans and glutinous rice porridge.

Eight dishes were prepared.

Stir-fried lamb with celery, braised pork, braised spare ribs, braised fish, mouth-watering chicken, egg yolk chicken wings, pickled duck, and braised beef.

Set the table and start setting off firecrackers.

You can start eating only after everyone is seated.

The tableware set for the Chinese New Year is a large set of tableware with space for 108 pieces that Zhao Yuanzhen bought at the mall.

The style is grand and the colors are elegant.

As for food, everyone was still keen on eating meat. Although Zhao Yuanzhen didn't like eating too greasy food, she still ate happily with everyone else.

It’s a good start to the New Year, but bad luck is not a good thing.

"Happy New Year, and may everything go well for you."

Zhao Yuanzhen held up the glass and stood up. Everyone followed her example and poured some wine or juice.

The crisp sound of the cups hitting each other is pleasant to the ears.

New Year, New Atmosphere. May everything go well for you.
