Starting from the time when Mang traveled through Joy of Life, he fabricated the myths of the heaven

Chapter 333 Opening a Teahouse (Two in One)
"Miss." Xiao Cui was a little confused, while Sai Diaochan was surprised and delighted. The man she thought was not her good man actually fell from the sky.

"My fellow shopkeepers, you are also doing business. I am sorry to you in this matter. I borrowed this money from Mr. Shen. You can rest assured." Sai Diaochan spoke.

"Alas, Manager Sai, I am terrified." Several people looked ashamed, but they would not let go of the money. As they said, they had no choice but to come here. Delivering food and selling wine are all business. The bills have to be settled once a month. If they cannot collect the money, it will be really troublesome in the future.

They also felt sorry for Sai Diao Chan, but there was nothing they could do. They couldn't just pity themselves and throw themselves in there. They had to survive.

Sai Diaochan also faced it with a smile. This time, after all, it was the unrestrained words on her side that aroused people's bad nature, and it could not be stopped at all.

Sai Diaochan was here, settling people's bills one by one according to the account book. She suddenly felt at ease. It was much better to owe money to one person than to a bunch of people, especially to that man. The worst that could happen was that she would become a slave.

At the Tongfu Inn across the street, a group of people were also looking over here.

"Alas, although I look down on them, they are just weak women and their business was doing well, but it was snatched away. Fortunately, Xiao Shen is indeed a good person." Tong Xiangyu said.

Compared to Sai Diaochan, she is indeed super law-abiding and kind-hearted. She hated Sai Diaochan before because she was against her and was her competitor.

"Boss, have you forgotten that Xiao Shen helped her get through this difficult time, and next, she's going to open a restaurant again?" Guo Furong said.

"Big Mouth." Tong Xiangyu's expression changed and she quickly called Li Dazui.

"Boss, I really can't do it. You have to make 81 dishes unique, I really can't do it." The competition was fierce some time ago, and Tong Xiangyu asked Li Dazui to cook to attract customers. Li Dazui had no choice but to come up with eight famous dishes, namely sugar-coated pork intestines and charcoal-grilled sow's trotters.

However, the Yihong Restaurant closed down later and the matter was over. When Li Dazui heard the shopkeeper calling him, he knew that he was going to make trouble again.

"Big Mouth, you are Xiao Shen's cousin, so you talk about him." Tong Xiangyu said.

"Boss, please don't harm me. What if my mother finds out and disowns me? Besides, I think he is quite pitiful. Such a big restaurant just went bankrupt like that." Li Dazui said.

"Yes."

"I shouldn't have married here from the beginning. If I hadn't married here, my husband wouldn't have died. If my husband hadn't died, I wouldn't have ended up in such a sad place.

The guys snorted and ran away.

……

Yihong Restaurant.

"Everyone is here."

"Captain Xing, what's the matter?" Old Xing came with Xiao Liu and greeted him like Diao Chan. Other merchants also greeted him. As for Hou San's group of thugs, they were particularly low-key and hid behind the pillars.

"Shopkeeper Sai, this is to settle the bill. The main reason I came here this time is because of one thing. I heard that your restaurant opened for business recently, so you are giving away gifts, right?" asked Captain Xing. Sai Diaochan thought to himself, what's going on?

"Yes." Sai Diaochan would certainly not deny it. She had seen with her own eyes that the captain of the police was eating and drinking for free. What was the point of asking him now?

"Something big has happened. Didn't you say before that you would send two maids, and the supply was not limited?" Old Xing said righteously.

"This matter." Sai Diaochan didn't know how to answer. You old rogue, you're targeting us. This is not right. Although Captain Xing is a freeloader, he has a good reputation.

"Manager Sai, don't say you didn't have it. You said you just gave some wine and shrimps, or even some silver, but you even gave people. Do you know what this is? It's human trafficking. According to the Ming Dynasty law, you know the punishment, right?" said Old Xing.

"They were all sent away. I didn't send them off." Everyone wanted to rob, but they didn't dare to. Everyone left on their own. The security in Qixia Town was pretty good.

“But you said this, you know, and it has been heard by Magistrate Lou. You are the best merchant selected by Magistrate Lou himself, how could you do this? It means that everyone knows that you are talking nonsense.

However, you have to take back the title of the best merchant after you did such a thing, and remember to return the fifty taels of silver to the government office." Captain Xing said, and the others looked down on him, thinking that he was asking for money even though he was in such a state.

"Also, the maid you gave away before had a bad influence. Magistrate Lou, considering that this was your first offense, will not punish you for the past, and will order you to take back the benefits.

I know it's been difficult for you these days, but you can't violate the rules. There's also the best merchant sign. I heard that your shop was robbed later. If the sign is also robbed, we will have to find it back for you one by one. Think about who has been here before." Old Xing said and left.

But the expressions of other people present were strange, especially those merchants. Sai Diaochan also heard that they said they were taking back the honor of best merchant, but in fact they were helping Yihong Restaurant, which meant that all the gifts given before were invalid because of giving away a maid.

And they have to help look for it house by house. As long as Sai Diaochan says the sign is not there, no one wants to deal with the government.

"Shopkeeper Sai, I heard from Old Xing. Do you want some help? I am a seventh-bag disciple of the Beggars' Sect and I am well-informed. I know how many people came to your place that day. They are all neighbors. We Beggars' Sect disciples know about it. But you have to treat me to a drink of Brother Shen's Fenjiu." Xiaomi also appeared.

"Of course." Sai Diaochan said with a smile.

"It's settled, Hou San, why are you here?" Xiaomi saw a bunch of thugs.

"Brother Mi, we are here to pay back the money. We took some stools before, and we feel bad about it, so we plan to pay back the money to Shopkeeper Sai."

First, Old Xing stepped in and said that the gift was not valid and had to be taken back, then Xiaomi, the well-informed local leader of the Beggars' Sect, stepped forward.

No matter how everyone thinks, they can only think of one person, the big shot in Pinggu County, Shen Yujing from the Qixia Zhentianxia Escort Agency, who is the person who is settling the bill for everyone now.

Old Xing has a good relationship with Shen Qingzhou, and he even escorted Xiaomi to Qing Kingdom. Their relationship is well known to all friends. It would be strange if he wasn't doing this for Shen Qingzhou's sake.

Everyone present knew that the shortcomings of Yihong Restaurant had been made up, and Shen Qingzhou was supporting them. If you think about it carefully, Shen Biaotou has always been very enthusiastic, but he really did such a thing. It was unbearable to watch.

In fact, everyone knows that Sai Diaochan was wronged this time and was bullied, but since it had nothing to do with her or if there were people who could sympathize with her, there was nothing they could do.

However, when someone with power stepped forward, everything changed. To put it more seriously, taking things was equivalent to robbing. Or Diao Chan's foundation was weak, and the waiters and maids hired first took things and ran away. If it was other stores, as long as they were stopped and did not form a trend, everyone would leave. "Okay, I'll ask the brothers later." Xiaomi also left.

The merchants left one by one, and then Yihong Restaurant suddenly became a lot more crowded, all of them coming to pay their bills.

As I said, those who can come to the restaurant are basically locals, and many of them know that it is not appropriate to take so much money directly from others. Many people dare not spend it after receiving it, and wait until Sai Diaochan and others are forced to leave, so that they can spend it without any trouble.

Now that the government has issued an order, everyone is very obedient. After all, it is not their money. And now, it is no longer just Sai Diaochan's matter, it is about Shen Qingzhou's face. Shen Qingzhou has many brothers and is very popular. No one can afford to offend him.

As for hiding, don't even think about it. One reason is that Xiaomi does have a lot of people, and the most important reason is that there are many people who can get twenty taels of silver, but there are more people who don't get it.

People are jealous of it, but there's nothing they can do. It's because they went too late. Now the government wants to take it back. If you don't return it, I will report you.

As for whether he would take the twenty taels and run away, it is unlikely. In ancient times, you needed a pass to leave the city, and most people lived in one place for their entire lives.

Another thing is that in this era, people who can go to Yihong Restaurant for dinner must have some income. Most of them, right? What are they thinking about moving because of twenty taels?

The most important thing is that Sai Diaochan and Xiao Cui know who took the money. They are all regular customers, so they don’t know where to go.

Of course, there will definitely be some money that cannot be recovered, but as long as most of it is recovered, Yihong Restaurant will not suffer a loss, and it will not be without profit.

"Even though Xiao Shen hasn't shown up yet, he's already so intimidating. That's great." Tong Xiangyu praised.

……

That night, only one candle was lit in the Yihong Restaurant. Sai Diaochan and Xiao Cui were in the lobby, counting silver.

"Miss, most of our savings have been returned." Xiao Cui was happy and counted the scattered silver coins. At this moment, she had not changed for the better, mainly because she had not risen to a high position and would not think of taking revenge on Sai Diaochan. She just had a little resentment and was not really cruel.

"Yes." She had already been to the money house and deposited most of the silver there. She had her own savings and could handle the payments to suppliers.

However, everything was snatched away, so she had no choice but to bear the debt. Now, the silver she had in her hand exceeded 3,500 taels, which was 80% of her money recovered.

The rest have either been spent and they have no money left, or they just took the things and left when they were just passing by. There is nothing we can do about it.

All in all, the loss is huge. All the food and wine were eaten or taken away. Today, I settled the payment with the supplier for more than one thousand taels, but the things in the store are more than one thousand taels, plus the leftovers, so the total loss is at least two thousand taels.

Many people came to pay the bill today, but Sai Diaochan knew that she couldn't accept the money. It would be worse if the food was given away as a gift. The main reason was that it was their restaurant's fault. Who asked you to shout?

Yihong Restaurant's business is actually pretty good, with the quarterly tax alone paying 750 taels. Also, they either serve hairy crabs or are chefs from Yangzhou Zuixianlou, both of which are high-end restaurants.

The value of their restaurant is at least over five thousand taels. Tongfu Inn is mainly for accommodation, but it also does restaurant business. The reason why it is incompatible with Yihonglou is that it is located right across from them. In fact, there are quite a few taverns in Qixia Town, and Lao Bai often goes there to support them, but within a radius of fifty miles, there is indeed only this inn that does business with ordinary people.

But now, the more than three thousand taels still have to be used to pay back Shen Qingzhou, leaving more than two thousand taels. He also has to redecorate Yihonglou, purchase goods, and recruit new people. It is definitely not enough. At the very least, he can't afford to open Yihong Restaurant like before.

This world is not like the one in "Wulin Wai Zhuan" where two cents of silver were enough for the guys. They only had two cents, but that was pocket money for singles after food and accommodation were provided.

One coin of silver is worth 100 coins, a steamed bun costs 1 coin, a bowl of plain noodles costs 6 coins, and 50 coins cannot even buy a pair of shoes. This is what Bai Zhantang said himself. (He really said it)
Being together at Tongfu Inn, there are few reasons for the salary issue. Guo Furong wants to train herself, Lao Bai wants to retire from the underworld and regards these things as fun, Tong Xiangyu has a way out, Mo Xiaobei is still young, and a scholar's job is not to be an accountant, he is taking the imperial examination.

Judging from the follow-up, in the timeline of Longmen Escort Agency, most of the guys left after getting married, this is the reality.

Sai Diaochan only knows how to open a shop, but she herself has no confidence that she can compete with others in running a small shop. However, the biggest hurdle has been overcome.

On the second day, Shen Qingzhou was checking the accounts at the escort agency. He was not a hands-off manager. The escort agency was a business. Even if he didn't care about the money, he couldn't be careless. You can find the accountant, but you have to supervise him.

"Head escort, the shopkeeper Sai from Yihong Restaurant wants to see you."

"Let her in." Shen Qingzhou put down the account book. It seemed that she came to thank him. This time, he did support her openly, which was in line with his personality.

He is good at making friends and helping those in need. This is mainly because his three views were developed in reality. When he sees others in trouble, he will give a little help if he does not have the ability to do so.

Helping Sai Diaochan this time is in line with his personality. In fact, everyone knows that Sai Diaochan is purely unlucky this time, but she herself has no value, so it is useless to help her. But now that other people have stepped forward, everyone still has a good impression of this kindness.

"Master Shen." He was still like Diao Chan and Xiao Cui. When he saw Shen Qingzhou again, he became especially tall.

Magistrate Lou said that her welfare was illegal. This was definitely for Shen Qingzhou's face. Of course, Shen Qingzhou didn't need to do anything. Old Xing knew what he meant. He just said it casually, and Magistrate Lou made the decision.

Xiaomi looks inconspicuous, just a beggar, but she is well-informed, and the two of them work together. In addition, with the intention behind Shen Qingzhou paying off the money for her, who wouldn't give her some face and not go bankrupt? Of course she should be grateful.

"You're here, sit down." Shen Qingzhou greeted.

"Master Shen, I'm unable to repay you for saving my life. If you have any request, I dare not disobey you." Sai Diaochan's suppressed thoughts reappeared, and she wanted to kowtow, but was stopped by Shen Qingzhou.

"Don't think too much, Shopkeeper Sai. After all, you treated me to a drink. What happened to you was not your fault. It's because everyone feels sorry for you. If I have the ability, I will help no matter who it is. What does Shopkeeper Sai plan to do next?" Shen Qingzhou said. He did need help with sleeping, mainly because it was not a big deal for him.

"Master Shen, Yihong Restaurant has closed down. After this incident, I think the regular customers will not dare to come if the restaurant is reopened. Master Shen is knowledgeable and experienced, so I wonder if you have any advice for me?" Sai Diaochan said.

It seems that the money has been returned, and it seems that things can go back to the way they were before, but that is basically impossible. At the very least, those who received the money and then returned it, how can they not feel embarrassed to go? They have to return what they have obtained, so how can they not feel uncomfortable?

"Have you ever thought about opening a teahouse?"
