Fang Tianci seemed to be thinking about something, but he was not stupid and he quickly understood the key point.

"The girl is really thoughtful."

"Our business is not something that can be done in a day or two. It must be based on long-term considerations. You should learn more in your daily life. I want to train you to be the shopkeeper. When you can truly be competent for this position, I will increase your salary in the future." Song Yuntang looked at him and said.

After hearing this, Fang Tianci bowed hurriedly.

"Thank you for your cultivation, young lady."

Xu Wencheng looked at Song Yuntang and felt that she was as smart as his elder brother.

They all came from the same mother, but the eldest brother is introverted and intelligent, which makes him seem a little stupid.

……

After the afternoon, some customers came to the shop to order wine and eat noodles.

In the evening, when the school was over, more people came to the shop again.

However, because the thirty crispy chickens had been sold out, Song Yuntang only helped in the kitchen when there were many people. The rest of the time, after Chen and Tao gradually became proficient, they could almost handle the job.

As for Xu Qingye, Zhou Zilang, who had bought sour plum soup from Song Yuntang before, brought Mr. You from the academy. Mr. You was Xu Qingye's enlightenment teacher. They finally met, and he was now talking to him upstairs.

Song Yuntang didn't bother him, but just sat on the swing in the backyard and rocked gently.

The night wind brought a hint of coolness, and Song Yuntang covered his arms and couldn't help shivering.

The weather is getting colder, it's time to prepare winter clothes in advance.

As the shop neared closing time and it got dark, the customers left the shop one after another.

Fang Tianci recorded the evening's revenue in the account book according to Song Yuntang's instruction and gave it to her.

"Miss, this is today's account. Please take a look and see if there are any mistakes."

Song Yuntang picked up the account book, checked it one by one under the dim light hanging next to the swing frame, and finally looked at the total of today's accounts.

"Nine taels and eight cents of silver, and I actually made nearly ten taels today!"

Fang Tianci nodded.

"I thought business would be much slower in the evening without the crispy chicken, but it turned out to be quite good."

Song Yuntang smiled and said, "Not really. After all, our shop is mainly about drinks. If we don't have crispy chicken to go with the wine, we always have other things."

She handed the account book back to Fang Tianci and said, "There's nothing wrong with the account. Just follow this from now on. If you're more careful, there shouldn't be any mistakes."

Fang Tianci nodded, "Oh, I remember it."

"It's already the end of the month, so I'll settle this month's salary with you in advance."

Song Yuntang looked at Chen Xier.

"Although Sister Xier arrived earlier, there wasn't much work at the farm before. Although you haven't worked in the shop for a full ten days, I'll calculate your wages as ten days. Your wages will be the same as Brother Fang and the others, eight hundred wen a month. Ten days' wages were originally two hundred and sixty-six wen, but I'll calculate them as two hundred and seventy wen for you all. Is that okay with everyone?"

Chen Xier quickly shook her head.

"I'm already very grateful that Miss Song is willing to take us mother and son in, so naturally I have no objection."

Tao Xia and Fang Tianci naturally had no objection.

Seeing this, Song Yuntang counted out three pieces of 270 coins, totaling 810 coins, and divided them equally among the three.

As for Sun who came today, Song Yuntang had already said that her salary for several days this month would be paid together next month, so he didn't give it to her now.

After paying the bill, all the customers in the shop had left.

Chen and Tao hurried to finish the finishing work in the shop, and Sun also washed all the bowls.

Song Yuntang picked up the duck that had been pickled in a small jar during the day, found two iron hooks, drilled holes in the duck's neck, hooked it, and hung it under the eaves to dry.

Let it dry tonight and process it tomorrow before putting it in the oven.

At this time, Xu Qingye had already harnessed the mule cart.

Song Yuntang looked at everyone and said, "We're passing by the village on our way back to Lushan Village. We can give you a ride. Everyone has been busy all day and it's been hard. Let's go back together."

"Hey, let's lock the door and come."

Chen, Tao and Fang Tianci each locked the backyard, wine cellar and the front and back doors of the shop.

Aunt Sun took off her apron.

"Miss Song, my home is not far from here, I will go back first."

Song Yuntang nodded, "Okay, Auntie, be careful on the road."

In order to see the road clearly at night, Xu Wencheng hung the lamp not far from the swing frame in front of the mule cart. The distance from Huajianzui to Zhuangzi was not far. After Fang Tianci and Tao and Chen got off the mule cart, Xu Qingye drove the mule cart straight to Lushan Village in the dim light.

Xu Wencheng sat next to Xu Qingye, glanced in the direction of the mule cart and said, "Sister-in-law, you won't come back at this time every day from now on, right? It's not safe to walk at night."

"The tavern opened today, so I got home a little late. I won't be this late in the future."

Although there is no moon in the sky at the end of the month, the stars are particularly bright.

The mountain road was particularly quiet at night, with only the occasional chirping of insects and birds. Song Yuntang lifted the car curtain and leaned against the window to look at the starry sky outside. After a busy day, he relaxed and felt particularly tired.

But she still had to hold on. After working in the kitchen all day and being exposed to cooking fumes, she had to wash her hair, scrub her body, and change into clean clothes before going to bed.

Xu Qingye remained silent. He had walked the road from Lushan Village to the town countless times before. Even without lights, he could walk back by feeling.

Seeing Xu Wencheng yawning beside him, he thought that Song Yuntang must be very tired after getting up so early and working all day.

They drove the mule cart back home without stopping for less than fifteen minutes.

The children had not returned home yet, and Xu Yongwang and Jiang Shi could not sleep well. After washing up, they each took a stool and sat at the gate of the yard, looking at the road to the village entrance.

Seeing the lantern hanging in front of the mule cart from afar, Xu Yongwang stood up.

"The kids are back."

When Jiang saw this, she felt relieved and hurriedly took the stool back to the yard and went to the kitchen to get some hot water.

Xu Wencheng jumped off the mule cart.

"Dad, why are you sitting here? Don't you usually go to bed early at this time?"

"How could your parents sleep without you guys?" Xu Yongwang looked at the three children. "Are you all okay?"

Song Yuntang was also helped by Xu Qingye to jump off the mule cart and greeted Xu Yongwang.

Xu Wencheng quickly replied, "I'm fine. It's just that this is my first day doing this kind of work and I'm not used to it. I'm tired."

Xu Yongwang seemed to have heard some incredible gossip. "How can you feel tired? It seems your sister-in-law's shop is doing very well."

Xu Wencheng's face was filled with pride.

"Of course I am. I am a little tired, but business is booming at my sister-in-law's shop."

I made almost ten taels a day.

He would never have dared to think about this before.

My sister-in-law is the best at making big money.

At this moment, Jiang's voice was heard from the courtyard.

"The water is hot."
