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

The entertainment industry will never open too early.

The billiards game is scheduled to start at 9 o'clock and end at 9: in the evening.

There is no cook assigned here, so the dessert shop can deliver the food, or they can go over to eat.

The opening time is 9:.

The time has come to cut the ribbon and open the business.

The large white banner under the second-floor window is dazzling.

Even before the opening, this scene attracted a lot of people.

After the store opened, many people came into the store out of curiosity.

Some of them turned on the stage, some didn't, and they just stood aside and watched.

Billiards is charged by the hour, three taels of silver per hour.

That is 3 taels of silver for half an hour. Zhao Yuanzhen bought a glass hourglass that lasted for one hour. Whoever opened the table would put the hourglass on it. When the hourglass finished ticking, the time was up.

Trained good players start to teach everyone how to play.

Gradually the atmosphere became lively, and soon all ten cases were full.

In fact, if you don't compete in billiards and just play by yourself, the rules are very free and simple.

He learns quickly, but becomes more and more addicted as time goes by, and there is all sorts of resentment between the two.

By noon, there were fewer people, so the dessert shop delivered lunch and everyone took turns eating.

By the time it was almost evening, it was packed with people.

The brothel next door was closed due to the national mourning period, so many people had nothing to do, so they came to see this newly opened shop out of curiosity.

Zhao Yuanzhen stayed here until the evening, and after 9:, he said several times that the restaurant was closed. Only then did the customer leave with a feeling of not having enough.

Start cleaning and tidying up the house.

Zhao Yuanzhen went to watch the shopkeeper do the accounting.

The shopkeeper here was trained by Zhang Yuxin, and has not yet been named.

Zhao Yuanzhen changed his name to Zhang Putai.

It means the owner of Zhang's shop, the billiard shop. It is simple, clear and easy to remember.

The job of the shopkeeper here is relatively simple, he just calculates the time for the pool table, tea, and some money for cakes.

It’s similar to a storytelling shop, with simple accounts.

In this way, the total daily turnover was more than 198 taels.

Because it opens today, it is half price.

铺子里是10张台球桌，一天营业是12个小时，一张桌子一天一直有人就是36两。10张桌子就是360两。

Because two tables were empty for a while at noon, today's turnover was less than 360, but there was still money for tea and snacks, so the final total was 198 taels.

The normal price is more than 390 taels.

Zhao Yuanzhen was very satisfied. According to this quota, at least 300 taels a day would be no problem.

I can make about two days a month. I buy the shop and install and wash furniture, which takes about 40 days. I can earn back the cost.

Zhao Yuanzhen was very happy as she could increase her income by more than 10 yuan this year.

After cleaning up, everyone took a rest in the shop.

It was curfew at this time and I couldn't go back to the village.

Because they go to bed late at night, it is already past 10 o'clock or nearly 11 o'clock when they finish cleaning up, so they can sleep until about 7 o'clock in the morning, ensuring 8 hours of sleep.

A few people got up, washed up, and went to the dessert shop to eat.

The business hours and schedule of the dessert shop are basically the same as here.

We had breakfast together.

The 16 young men in the village chatted for a while.

After going back to clean up, we are ready to open for business.

Even before business hours, there were already people waiting for the store to open.

Seeing that the door was open, I quickly went to the table and picked up the club to play golf.

The waiters will have a harder time these days, but after a few days when everyone knows how to play, they will have an easier time.

This is also the reason why Zhao Yuanzhen did not invite many people.

8, that's enough.

They all wore exclusive staff uniforms, dark blue with red, with the words "Billiard Hall" embroidered on the chest.

The shopkeeper also wore a dark blue and red gown with the same words embroidered on the chest.

It looks like nothing is wrong, Xin Bai and Xinnian are here again.

The New Year is a time of running back and forth because milk has to be delivered.

Zhao Yuanzhen has to go back to the village. She hasn't been back for several days.

I don’t know how the technicians at home are doing.

"Mom, you're back."

"Mom, you're finally back. I haven't seen you for a few days. I always feel like the family is missing a backbone."

"Well, is there nothing going on at home these days?"

"It's nothing, mother."

"Well, that's good. I'll go check on the technicians' learning situation."

"Okay, Mom, I'll go with you."

Qian Xiaohui and Li Zhijuan did not learn the skills at home because of pregnancy, but they also watched for a few days. Theoretical knowledge must be understood.

The pool table was still there. Zhao Yuanzhen thought about it and asked someone to carry it to the corridor outside Zhao Yuanlan's room.

Zhao Yuanlan's recent holiday ended early, so there was no one there, so he wasn't afraid of noise. Whoever wanted to play at the housekeeper's house could go over there.

Let’s look at the beauty section first. Lan Ying is still looking at everyone.

All the projects have been taught and are now being reviewed and consolidated.

"Madam, you are back."

"Well, how are you doing?"

"Madam, except for a few people who don't know how to handle it well."

"Okay, then you continue watching. Don't forget the screening exam in three days. Remember to remind me then."

"Yes, ma'am."

I looked at them one by one, and they all did pretty well.

I went to see the nail art again.

Several people have already learned most of the nail art patterns.

It seems that the techniques have become much more sophisticated.

"Hello, madam."

"Sit down, go ahead, I'll just take a look."

Zhao Yuanzhen counted the days.

The national mourning period lasts for seven days. After seven days, some entertainment projects can be opened.

This will not affect the opening of your own beauty salon.

I don’t know how the third prince and the others are doing. I haven’t seen my eldest brother for several days.

The third prince is now the emperor.

After the emperor passed away, all the civil and military officials in the court supported the third prince to ascend the throne.

There was no other way. The first and second princes were in prison. The fourth prince was too young to compete, and the fifth prince was too young, only 13.

By this calculation, only the Third Prince, who possesses the [Imperial Seal from Heaven], is the most suitable.

Moreover, the third prince was a capable man. Finally, everyone decided that after the national mourning, the Ministry of Rites would choose the date for the sacrifice and then announce it to the world.

Of course, although there is no coronation ceremony yet, the third prince has already moved into the palace as the emperor.

Those families had their properties confiscated, their heads beheaded, and their families exiled.

The eldest prince and the second prince were demoted and exiled to remote areas.

Because the emperor is dead, it is really difficult to determine whether it is the emperor's child.

The third prince showed mercy and did not kill him but exiled him.

As for whether someone died on the road, I don’t know.

The harem was also reorganized in various ways. The concubines of the former emperor who were willing to be buried alive were buried together, those who were willing to become nuns were married off, and those who were willing to return home were allowed to return home.

The third prince didn't want too many women in the palace, so he signed the letter of return home and could go home.

There are many clauses in the letter of return home, such as not meeting other men, not going out at will, not marrying for life, etc.

The conditions for returning home are that the woman has no children, is not pregnant, her parents agree, and her parents' financial situation cannot be too bad.

The third prince gave some deportation money and sent them all away.

In the end, there were only a few kittens left in the palace.

There were two concubines and a queen.

One of the two concubines was the fifth prince's biological mother, and she had to wait until the fifth prince grew up to follow him to his fiefdom. The other one had a princess, and she had to raise her.

The palace is destined to be the empress dowager.

The third prince has no concubines, but he has two maids.

Nothing else.

And the third prince's wife gave birth to three children.

2 boys and girl.

enough.

Seeing his father being angered to death by the concubines, the third prince even felt that these three wives and concubines were enough. He didn't want the harem to be in chaos and he didn't want to be cuckolded.

The Third Prince’s wife is still living in the mansion and can only move into the palace after she is canonized.

As for Zhao Yuanlan, after his house was confiscated, he guarded the third prince at the gate of the palace every day. It was a sensitive period, so he had to be careful.

Running back and forth between the shop and the village.

It was not until the 19th that Zhao Yuanzhen stopped going to the city and gave examinations to the technicians.

Select 45 technicians out of 30 people.

Five groups of five were assessed.

The process is long, and it takes more than four hours to complete each time.

Of course, there were some who were not doing well halfway through and were stopped and replaced by the next group.

More than 20 people were assessed in one day. We will continue the assessment tomorrow.

It was not until the afternoon of the 20th that all the assessments were completed.

"From now on, the 30 of you will be the beauty massage technicians of Shuiyunjian Beauty Salon. Now, start standing in order of your birthdays."

"Yes, ma'am."

Give it a few minutes to stand.

Start naming in order.

"From now on, you will be Technician No. 1, and your name will be Yuan Xi. You are Technician No. 2, and your name will be Hua Chao. You said Technician No. 3, and your name will be Shang Si..."

Zhao Yuanzhen assigned technicians numbers according to their birthdays, and named them according to festivals and the 24 solar terms.

"Thank you Madam for the name."

"The remaining 15 stand up."

"Yes, ma'am."

"We will start teaching billiards and mahjong classes in the afternoon. We will select four people to serve in the mahjong area and two to serve in the billiard area. Of the remaining nine people, four will serve in the lobby, three in the changing area, and two in the reception area. The details will be taught later."

"Yes, ma'am."

Let Qian Xiaohui and others teach mahjong.

There were many tables at home, and Zhao Yuanzhen took out four sets of mahjong.

We will also need to dispatch some more cooks and maids to the beauty parlor.

Zhao Yuanzhen counted the servants in the house to see how many were idle and whether there were enough to be distributed.

There are now 176 servants in the house.

Servants: 52 people, Zhang Yu + 6 guards + 3 shopkeepers of the sugar water shop, originally 4, one was transferred to the billiard hall. 4 charcoal burners, 2 storybook shop (Zhang Shu and a chores servant), 9 block printing, Zhang Dao is responsible for martial arts training, at home, there are 2 servants to take care of the cattle and horses at home. 4 follow Zhang Xinnian to deliver milk, so there are 19 people who have not been assigned yet, and some of them will be taken to the Yellow River later. There are also spring ploughing and so on.

Cook: 24. There are 4 people working in the dessert shop now, which is a little too few, as they also have to cook. I will send 2 more people there later, 6 to the beauty parlor, 6 to stay at home, and 6 to take to the Yellow River ferry.

20 for chores, 6 for candy shops, 6 for beauty salons, 4 for the Yellow River ferry, and 4 for home.

Maids: 55, 1 Lanying, 4 dessert shops, 50 beauty parlors, including 30 technicians, 5 nail technicians, 4 mahjong masters, and 2 billiard masters.

Musicians: 23.

Wet nurse: 2.

After going through it, I found that the manpower can still be allocated for the time being.
