Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money

Mrs. Wen was not willing to wait for another three years. Wen Yanqing was already seventeen years old this year. If he were in an ordinary family, he would have had a baby long ago. However, he was not determined and did not want to get married too early. Mrs. Wen also had not found a family she liked, so it had been delayed until today.

She had never expected that such a thing would happen, and she had to deal with a family like this. You know, before, when Mr. Lin was alive, she had nothing to say. But now that Mr. Lin has passed away, and the Lin family has no man to lead it, what can they achieve? They might fall into decline soon.

Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen also thought of the same thing, so they used what the old lady had said before to prevaricate. They had been talking about waiting for Mr. Lin to come back before discussing the marriage, and if they wanted to discuss it, they should ask him to come and talk to them, otherwise the matter would be dropped.

Liu was so angry that she fainted on the spot. After waking up, she burst into tears again, calling out desperately for her poor son.

People are often like this. At the beginning, he wanted to marry Lin Yuhe to make amends and take on the responsibility to the end. Not only did she give him a cold shoulder, but she also had the servants drive him away without any mercy. Now that he sees that you have no man at home and have lost your support, it would be strange if he didn't bully you back.

However, the Wen family really went too far. It's better to look at the face of the Buddha than to consider the monk's face. We all live in Yingshan City and we see each other every day. If the fuss goes too far, it will make both families lose face.

However, Lin Yuxi was overly worried. People had arranged everything early in the morning. The next day, word began to spread that Third Miss Lin had been in love with Young Master Wen for a long time. After many failed attempts at courtship, she shamelessly climbed into his bed while he was resting, doing such a thing that brought disgrace upon the family. She also threatened the Wen family to marry her. The Wen family apologized, but the Lin family still made things difficult for her and demanded 10,000 acres of fertile land and 100,000 taels as a betrothal gift.

No one has investigated the truth of the matter, but it has instead provided gossip and jokes for the people to talk about after dinner.

It is conceivable what kind of commotion Liu and Lin Yuhe caused after learning the news. Liu went to the Wen family's house in person to find out what happened, but the Wen family blamed Liu and drove her out of the Wen family, making Liu lose face.

Liu was so angry that she vomited blood. She pointed at the Wen family and cursed them right at the door. After cursing for a long time, no one paid any attention to her. People surrounded her and laughed at her, so she went back with her face covered.

Lin Yuxi almost spit out her tea after hearing this. The Wen family was too shameless to ruin a daughter's reputation like this. After spreading such gossip, Lin Yuhe would probably have difficulty getting married in her lifetime.

But Lin Yuhe does not deserve sympathy. If he had not been there that day, he would be the one being talked about today.

Lin Yuxi thought again, based on Lin Yuhe's vision and personality, most people would probably look down on her. So, whoever she likes, as long as it's not her Zi Yan, it's fine.

When Lin Yuxi thought about this, she almost banged her head against the wall. Bah, bah, bah, how come he became her Zi Yan?

Too many things must have happened recently, and my brain is full of water, that must be the case. Lin Yuxi comforted herself, but she couldn't help but think of him in her heart, wondering how he had investigated the matter.

Lin Yuxi collected her thoughts and now she had returned to her old life, not leaving the house at will. Naturally, the old lady took care of the incense matters herself.

The business of her shop could only be managed through her maid. The news brought back by Cuizhu was not satisfactory. She sold 87 hamburgers on the opening day, and only 20 to 30 each day on the remaining two days. On the fourth day, because it was market day, she sold more than 50. On the fifth day, she only sold about 30. In total, the gross profit of one hamburger was ten cents. She sold 223 hamburgers and made a total of two taels, two cents and thirty cents in five days.

It was much worse than Lin Yuxi had expected. Two taels of silver were only enough to pay Zheng Laoshi and Niu Gaizi's wages. Under this circumstance, they could only earn ten taels in the second half of the month. The monthly rent of the shop was still thirty taels, so the monthly profit would be a deficit.

Cuizhu said that most people cannot accept the price, it is too expensive, and some people think the taste is not very good. They feel it is novel after eating one or two, but get tired of it after eating it a few more times. They still prefer the traditional taste.

Lin Yuxi had also considered these two issues. Lowering the price was impossible as the price had already been set. Lowering it would have the opposite effect. As for the taste issue, hamburgers were, after all, Western fast food. There were differences between Chinese and Western tastes, so it was normal that people couldn't accept it all at once. This could be adapted to slowly. Sales were the top priority.

Lin Yuxi couldn't help but feel a headache. She had read quite a few novels in her previous life, and those time travelers all had prosperous businesses and did not have problems like her.

Lin Yuxi couldn't help but reflect, is she developing in the wrong direction? Creativity is the way to survive. If you want to sell something that doesn't exist in this world, you need to be original and creative to attract attention and create a market.

Creating a market, Lin Yuxi immediately grasped the key point. Most of the people who came to the market were from the middle and lower classes, so it was normal for them to think that twenty-five cents was expensive. For wealthy families, this price was simply a drop in the bucket.

So Lin Yuxi took a pen and ink and wrote a few slogans, drew a picture of a hamburger, and gave it to Cuizhu, asking her to spend some money to find someone to write a hundred copies, and then hire a few people to distribute them at the entrances and exits of the city gates, distributing them to carriages and well-dressed people, and also delivering one copy to each of the wealthy families.

No matter what, since you have done it, you must stick to it decisively. You can't predict the future after just a few days of opening. From ancient times to the present, business promotion is necessary. First, expand the awareness of hamburgers and see if you can get some good results.

Cuizhu agreed to all the requests, then took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to Lin Yuxi. The purse contained two taels, two cents and thirty coins, which were the money she had earned in the past few days.

Lin Yuxi didn't take it but handed her an account book and said, "You will be in charge of the shop's accounts from now on. Record the daily income and income, and hand over all the money earned to me at the end of each month. I taught you how to use the account book before, you haven't forgotten it, right?"

Cuizhu quickly shook her head and said that she had not forgotten. After thinking about it, she nodded and said that she would definitely get things done.

After Cuizhu left, Lin Yuxi took out her own account book. This was a habit she had developed to record all her family assets every day. Cuizhu's book was the daily account book, and the one in her hand was the general ledger.

Her original capital was nine hundred taels, of which she spent one hundred and eighty taels on renting the shop, five taels on making the oven, and another five taels on giving to Zheng Laoshi to buy materials and for turnover. In total, one hundred and ninety taels were given out, leaving seven hundred and one hundred taels. She recorded every income and expenditure clearly.

While Lin Yuxi was looking at the account book, Lin Yu angrily kicked the door open and overturned a table, cursing, "You lied to me. I lost face in front of everyone in the academy today, and you're happy. Were you waiting to see me laugh from the beginning?"

Lin Yuxi was startled, and Luyun and Cuiping also came over when they heard the noise. They were almost hit on the nose by the stool kicked over by Lin Yu. Seeing that he was losing his temper, they both trembled a little, but were afraid that Lin Yuxi would get hurt, so they rushed in to protect their master.
