Transmigrating into a Man's Wife: I Share the Pain with the Male Protagonist

Logically speaking, Li Mofu's store still needed a shopkeeper to take charge of bookkeeping and management. However, Li Mofu didn't have that kind of spare money, so he thought that since there was not much business at the moment, it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to be the shopkeeper himself.

At first, Lu Mingyun would come to the restaurant to eat, but later, Li Mofu ate too much spicy food, so Lu Mingyun came to the restaurant every time and asked him to go home for dinner.

"Ha~" Li Mofu yawned while sitting in the carriage.

I have been busy recently, checking the kitchen's income and expenditure accounts every day. Although it is tiring, I am still happy when counting the money.

"Aren't you afraid that they will steal your money if you don't hire a shopkeeper?" Lu Mingyun asked as he sat opposite him.

Li Mofu said vaguely, "It's okay. After all, the dishes that go in and out of the kitchen have to be counted every day. The customer's menu and the kitchen's menu each have a copy. Although I'm not there at night, I'll know by counting and comparing them in the morning."

"If you forget to keep track of one or two missing portions just to save the money for food, you will end up being greedy over time," said Lu Mingyun.

"This kind of thing is inevitable, even if there is a shopkeeper. Maybe the shopkeeper will be even more greedy." Li Mofu disagreed.

"Then you have to do it yourself and guard it every day." Lu Mingyun said, supporting his chin.

Li Mofu leaned against the window and shrugged, "I have nothing to do anyway. And I'm telling you, I've been wanting to move into the store lately so I can keep an eye on everyone and see who's trying to take my money!"

"...No, I'd better hire a manager for you." Lu Mingyun's face turned dark.

When Li Mofu first opened the shop, Lu Mingyun thought he was just playing around out of boredom, but he didn't expect him to be so dedicated. He turned from an idler who ate, drank and had fun every day into a businessman who worked hard to make money.

"My shop's business isn't very prosperous, and I can't afford to hire a shopkeeper." Li Mofu said in a long tone.

Lu Mingyun's mouth twitched, "I'll raise it for you."

"Hehe, then you go ahead. I've been busy for more than half a month." Li Mofu smiled contentedly.

Lu Mingyun took a deep breath and exhaled, "Have you made any money so far?"

"If you ignore the money from buying the shops, I have certainly made some money, because the vegetables and meat I buy every day are very cheap, and the owners of the vegetable and meat shops have agreed on long-term cooperation with me." Li Mofu said proudly.

Lu Mingyun had looked at Li Mofu's account book. In fact, those vegetables and meat were not the lowest prices. If Li Mofu had more customers every day, the prices might be even lower.

"Speaking of the shopkeeper, I have a friend who is planning to come to Su County. If you want to make more money, you can learn from him." Lu Mingyun said.

Li Mofu glanced at Lu Mingyun and then looked away. He knew who Lu Mingyun was talking about. It should be the friend who helped him manage the business.

However, he has already given his soup base to Wang Ruiyan, so he has to cooperate with Wang Ruiyan and not with Lu Mingyun's friends.

Otherwise, what will happen if there are two restaurants in Beijing serving the same food?

"As for money... it's enough to spend. Your friend probably won't look down on my small business." Li Mofu laughed.

Lu Mingyun snorted twice, probably understanding what was going on in this person's mind.

The next day, Li Mofu came to the store again with a heroic and confident look to count the money. The smell of copper was indeed quite stinky, and it stained several of Li Mofu's handkerchiefs.

What surprised Li Mofu was Lu Mingyun's ability to act. Around noon, the shopkeeper introduced by Lu Mingyun arrived.

He was a middle-aged man with a beard, a square face and a smile on his face, but his small eyes were shrewd and clever.

Li Mofu first invited the man to have a cup of tea and learned that the man's name was Fang Cun. He had been a shopkeeper for half his life and had worked in a very famous restaurant in Su County before. Later, he gave up his position when the boss's relative came.

This person speaks very politely and knows how to advance and retreat topics appropriately. He is an experienced speaker.

Later, Li Mofu told him about the store's situation, including its characteristics, the main sources of customers, the store's suppliers, etc.

The middle-aged man also gave some suggestions, then began to look at the account book, and then spent an afternoon making a summary report for Li Mofu's previous accounts.

Li Mofu was very satisfied. It turned out that professional things should be done by professionals.

"But boss, why is our restaurant called 'Idle People's Restaurant'?" Shopkeeper Fang asked in confusion.

Li Mofu said confidently, "Because I'm just an idler!"

"..." Shopkeeper Fang was stunned for a moment, then laughed twice and said, "Why don't we quote a few lines of poetry by the door?"

Li Mofu asked what the poem was, and Manager Fang told him one by one.

So a large calligraphy piece by Li Mofu was hung on the door of Xianren Restaurant. Although it was written neatly, it was indeed a bit ugly. But ugliness is also a way to attract people, isn’t it?

Words by the door: If you are not an idle person, you cannot be idle. If you can be idle, you must not be an ordinary person.

With the shopkeeper, Li Mofu had a lot more free time. Every day, apart from walking around the store and eating and drinking, he went shopping again.

The business in the store has gradually increased. In the past, most of the customers were businessmen, but recently some students have also come.

Some students even suggested helping the store write and replace the two lines of words on the door, which made Li Mofu so angry that he ate two large bowls of maocai that day.

However, this lively and peaceful life did not last long, and the streets soon became deserted again because of a murder case.

It was a morning in late June. An old farmer carried a basket and went to the mountain to find something to sell. If he was lucky enough to hunt a pheasant or rabbit, he could make a lot of money.

The old farmer was a hunter when he was young. He walked on mountain roads many times, so he dared to go deep into the mountains.

Unexpectedly, he found a rotten corpse in a cave.

This time, the victim was also a woman. Her throat was cut and her blood was drained, and her body was thrown into the wilderness after her death.

The coroner said that the woman had been dead for two days, and a day earlier someone had reported his mother missing.
