I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 113 Recruiting Alchemy Apprentices
Seeing the excitement on Shi Lei and his wife's faces, Song Jie couldn't help but smile.

"I guess it should be no less than six hundred spirit stones."

Song Jie remembered that when he left the store at noon, the turnover had already reached over 400 spirit stones.

Even though there will be fewer customers in the afternoon, there will still be at least two or three hundred spirit stones.

After all, it’s the first day of opening, and with the support of the hype in the morning, business will definitely be good.

Shi Lei laughed and nodded, saying, "Brother Song guessed correctly, our store's turnover today is a full 683 spirit stones.

"When your sister-in-law and I were counting the spirit stones just now, we couldn't believe that our store could actually make so much turnover in a day."

Song Jie also laughed.

"This shows that most of the monks in Xinyuefang City trust us. We can achieve such results thanks to our good reputation."

Shi Lei nodded in agreement and said, "Brother Song is right."

As he spoke, Shi Lei took out a cloth bag containing spirit stones from his arms and handed it to Song Jie.

"These are the spirit stones I earned from selling the pills today, a total of 266 pieces. Brother Song, please count them.

"As for which pills were sold, Brother Song can check the accounts when he comes to the store tomorrow."

Song Jie reached out to take the spirit stone, put it directly into his arms, and said with a smile: "No need to count, I trust Brother Shi, hahahaha..."

Before the Danqi Pavilion opened, the two discussed how to distribute the costs and profits of opening the store.

Because there is no overlap in the goods sold by the two people, the distribution of costs and profits is also very simple.

The initial shop decoration and the subsequent shop rent were because Shi Lei needed a larger space.

So the cost of this part is split 4:6 between the two of us.

Song Jie is responsible for 40%, and Shi Lei is responsible for the remaining 20%.

As for the cost of refining elixirs and spiritual weapons, the two of them are responsible for it respectively, and the profits earned also belong to each of them.

If Song Jie hires an alchemy apprentice and Shi Lei hires an equipment refining apprentice in the future.

This part of the employment cost and the income generated also belong to each party.

But at present, there is only one alchemist and one weapon refiner in Danqi Pavilion, namely Song Jie and Shi Lei.

Li Caiwei is specifically responsible for looking after the store.

Originally, Song Jie planned to give a small portion of the profits from the sale of pills to Li Caiwei as her commission.

But Li Caiwei refused resolutely, and Shi Lei also agreed with Li Caiwei's approach.

In the end, Song Jie couldn't convince them and could only accept the result with gratitude.

Some things need to be divided more clearly, but some things do not need to be divided too clearly.

After collecting the spirit stones, Song Jie continued to exchange pleasantries with Shi Lei and his wife.

Starting from tomorrow, Shi Lei probably won't go to the store unless he has something special to do.

Li Caiwei can be responsible for some things in the store, and Shi Lei will focus on refining equipment at home.

But Song Jie still needs to go to the store occasionally.

He is a celebrity of some kind. Many customers of this shop actually go there because of Song Jie's fame.

Therefore, it would not be good if Song Jie did not show up all the time.

On the other hand, although he said that he trusted Shi Lei and his wife, it was impossible for him to completely avoid checking the store's accounts.

You still have to check occasionally to see if there are any problems with the store’s accounts.

This was also the result of the discussion among the three before opening the store, and they had to check the accounts regularly.

If there are any problems, they can be discovered and solved early.

……

"Brother Song, after you finish practicing your magic and body movements, remember to come over and have a couple of drinks.

"We have to celebrate tonight."

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

After saying goodbye, Shi Lei and his wife returned to their home and began to prepare dinner.

Today is the opening day of Danqi Pavilion, so of course we have to have a drink to celebrate.

Song Jie also quickly completed tonight's spell and body movement practice, and then went to the bathroom to take a quick shower to wash off the sweat on his body.

Then, he changed into clean clothes and took a jar of fine wine.

When he arrived at Shi Lei's house next door, Shi Lei had just brought the last dish to the table.

Immediately, the three of them began to clink glasses and celebrate the success of the new store opening today.

Because Li Caiwei was pregnant, she still drank tea instead of wine as before.

After three rounds of drinking, Shi Lei suddenly said, "Today our Danqi Pavilion is opening, and Tianxianglou and the three major families have specially sent congratulations.

“This is indeed beyond my expectations. I didn’t expect Brother Song to have such a big reputation.

"You haven't told me this before...

"Now it seems that being able to open a shop with Brother Song is really a great bargain for me."

Hearing this, Song Jie smiled awkwardly.

“To be honest, I didn’t expect that Tianxianglou and the shops under the three major families would specially send congratulations to our shop today.

"This is beyond my expectation..."

Shi Lei looked at Song Jie and it didn't seem like he was lying. It was obvious that what happened today was beyond everyone's expectations.

“Everyone has their own secrets, and I won’t ask Brother Song about his relationship with Tianxiang Tower and the three major families.

“But no matter what, if we can run this shop.

"Brother Song, you have definitely made the greatest contribution, just today.

“If it weren’t for your reputation, Brother Song, our Danqi Pavilion wouldn’t have achieved such a high turnover today.

"So, my husband and I must give a toast to Brother Song."

As they spoke, Shi Lei and his wife raised their glasses with both hands and toasted to Song Jie.

Seeing this, Song Jie quickly picked up the wine glass with both hands and said in a panic: "Brother Shi, what you said is serious...

“Without the help of my elder brother and his wife, I would not be able to open the store by myself.

"This is the result of the joint efforts of the three of us, so let's not talk about who is toasting to whom, just toast to the three of us together."

"Hahaha...Brother Song, that's a good point."

Shi Lei is not a shy person.

Since Song Jie said so, if he still insisted on his own statement, it would seem a bit pretentious.

Of course, Shi Lei and his wife must have kept Song Jie's contribution to Danqi Pavilion in mind.

So the three of them drank the cup together.

After putting down the wine glass, Shi Lei continued, "The Alchemy Pavilion is now officially open. I wonder what plans Brother Song has for the next step?"

He also realized today that the pills refined by Song Jie were really easy to sell.

Judging from the current situation, there seems to be some signs of supply exceeding demand.

So he wanted to hear Song Jie's subsequent plans. If the other party was not aware of this, he would remind him.

Hearing this, Song Jie nodded and said, "I plan to recruit two alchemy apprentices next and teach them some alchemy skills.

“They will be responsible for refining ordinary-grade elixirs, while I will specialize in refining first-grade elixirs.

“By doing this, we can enrich the choices of elixirs for customers when they come into the store.

"Secondly, it can also solve the problem of the supply of elixirs."

Shi Lei nodded. "It seems that Brother Song has also noticed the supply problem. Recruiting two alchemy apprentices is indeed a good choice.

“I will probably have to recruit an apprentice for weapon refining at that time, but I’m not in such a hurry for now.

"Next, I plan to slowly move my weapon refining room to the back hall of the store.

"Otherwise, when the baby is born, this house won't be big enough to accommodate us."

The house he is renting now has only a master bedroom and a guest room.

The guest room was converted into a weapon refining room by Shi Lei.

After their child was born, the house was indeed not big enough.

Upon hearing this, Song Jie also echoed, “I also have an idea, I plan to move to the back hall of the store to make pills.

"This will also make it easier for me to teach alchemy apprentices later..."

The shop they rented also had a large back hall.

When they were finalizing the decoration plan, they took into consideration the use of the back hall.

According to the decoration plan they decided on, the back hall was divided into five small alchemy rooms and three small weapon refining rooms.

There are also two rooms specifically used for storing goods.

For Song Jie, it was very simple to move to the back hall of the shop to make elixirs. He just had to move the Ziyun copper furnace over.

Some other auxiliary instruments for alchemy are equipped in the alchemy room in the back hall.

Moreover, the store is surrounded by protective formations, so it is safer to leave things in the store than at home.

After all, the rent is one hundred spirit stones a month, so these basic guarantees are still there.

So, if Song Jie wants to move there, he can do so at any time.

But it would not be so easy for Shi Lei to move the equipment refining room there.

It would take a lot of effort just to dismantle the large furnace in his refining room.

It doesn't mean that you can move immediately, you need to make some preparations.

"Brother Song, have you chosen a good day? When will you move to the back hall of the shop to make pills?"

Shi Lei looked at Song Jie with some curiosity.

Song Jie pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet. Don't worry for now. I'll consider moving there after I find a suitable alchemy apprentice."

What he really thought was that if he moved there immediately to make the elixir.

Then during the day, I have to be with Li Caiwei every day.

Even though you behave properly, it is still best to avoid suspicion.

Therefore, his plan was to move there himself after recruiting an alchemy apprentice or after Shi Lei moved the refining room there.

Of course, Song Jie only thought about this idea in his heart and definitely couldn't say it out loud.

Afterwards, the three of them chatted for a while until all the dishes and wine were cleared away, and then ended the dinner.

……

The next morning.

As usual, after Song Jie finished his training, he began to practice spells and body movements.

After practicing spells and body techniques, he began to meditate and practice.

Only after his spiritual power was replenished again did he take the golden horn and a recruitment notice he had written last night and go out.

Song Jie arrived at the entrance of Danqi Pavilion with ease.

At this time, Li Caiwei had already come to open the store.

Song Jie looked into the store and saw Li Caiwei receiving guests and introducing weapons to them.

He didn't go over to disturb her. After nodding, he started looking around.

"Where should I post this recruitment notice?"

Song Jie looked around.

Finally I decided to just put it on the door.

Although it is not very beautiful when posted on the door, it is very efficient.

Monks who want to find a job usually don't go into the store to look.

So it is better to post it at the door. At worst, you can wait until all the people are recruited and then tear down the recruitment notice.

After thinking it through, Song Jie went into the store, found a box of glue, and posted the recruitment notice on the pillar at the door of the store.

In this way, monks passing by can see the recruitment notice at a glance.

After taking another look at the recruitment notice, Song Jie nodded with satisfaction.

……

He wrote this recruitment information by imitating the recruitment information of companies before he traveled through time.

Such unique recruitment information is probably the only one in the world of immortal cultivation.

After posting the recruitment notice, Song Jie walked into the store and placed the pills he had refined yesterday afternoon on the counter.

By the way, I also counted how many pills were sold yesterday.

After a quick calculation in his mind, he figured out the income from yesterday's pills. Shi Lei did give him a lot of them.

As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must not have the intention to guard against others.

Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly...

It is naturally impossible for Song Jie to completely ignore the calculation of how much spiritual stone income he actually deserves.

Just then, a voice behind him interrupted Song Jie's thoughts.

"Excuse me, are there any Chongmai Pills for sale here?"

Song Jie turned around and saw a woman in her early twenties standing at the door of the store, looking at him curiously.

“Yes, a first-grade inferior Chongmai Pill, eight spirit stones per pill.

“A low-grade Chongmai Pill costs ten spirit stones per pill.

"Which one do you want to buy?"

The shop had just opened yesterday morning, and all the low-grade Chongmai Pills were bought up by a middle-aged monk who was full of heroic spirit.

After Song Jie returned home yesterday at noon, he immediately refined two more Chongmai Pills.

With the help of Jinjiao, I was lucky enough to get both pills of first-grade lower quality.

This allowed the first-grade inferior Chongmai Dan in the counter to be replenished.

The woman didn't think much and answered directly: "Please give me a first-grade lower-grade Chongmai Pill."

As she spoke, the woman took out ten spirit stones and bought a first-grade inferior Chongmai Pill from Song Jie.

After putting away the Chongmai Pill, the woman asked again, "Excuse me, is the recruitment notice for alchemy apprentices at the door still recruiting people?"
