Rebirth of the Concubine Fenghua

Chapter 28
Zheng Longzhai's boss is a short, fat, middle-aged man with a happy moustache. At first glance, he is a kind-hearted and rich-looking man. He trotted out and said respectfully, "Madam came early today." Please come in!" Madam will come to check the accounts on the [-]th of each month, and it is a common practice to reward and punish the bosses in the shop for their work and laziness, and they will make arrangements early to welcome Madam.

Xue brought the two sisters into the shop, Feng Ruotong looked around, it was a very spacious place, surrounded by a half-person-high table, filled with white transparent boxes, inside which were placed various Desserts, with different shapes, are fragrant and mouth-watering.

However, there are not as many guests as usual today, but a few scattered people, picking and choosing, most of the snacks in the box have not been moved, these guests are here to be picky, and the guy on the side is awesome No effort to serve them could satisfy them.

Xue frowned slightly, "Fu Hai, get the account book."

The fat boss, Fu Hai, saw Xue's unkind expression, and knew that she was dissatisfied with the situation of the shop, and his heart was pounding, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring over the account book, "Madam, please have a look."

Mrs. Xue sat aside to look at the account book, and the clerk hurriedly made a cup of hot tea and brought some snacks for her to try.

Feng Ruotong moved her nose, her eyes lingered on all kinds of snacks, as if she couldn't wait, but it wouldn't make people think that she was worthless, instead she looked like a pain in the ass.

A trace of disdain flashed in Feng Ruoliu's eyes, she walked over and gently pulled off Feng Ruotong's sleeve, and said in a considerate low voice, "Eldest sister, this is outside."

Feng Ruotong looked back at her, seemed a little unhappy, "Oh, I know."

Mrs. Xue looked up, and ordered, "Fuhai, let someone greet you, and see what Ruotong likes to eat, pick something and bring her some."

Fu Hai hurriedly said, "Yes, ma'am." Madam recognized the eldest lady under his own name, and he would not ask too much about matters in Feng's mansion, so of course he didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly called a clever buddy and went over to greet her. Feng Ruotong.

Feng Ruotong then showed a very happy look, went over to pick some snacks, and did not forget to say hello, "Second sister, come together."

Feng Ruoliu smiled slightly, "Okay." Although she walked over, she didn't look very keen on it, she just looked at it casually, most of it was in response to what she said earlier, otherwise if she didn't move at all, wouldn't it be slapping myself in the face.

Xue flipped through the account book, and said displeasedly, "Fuhai, compared to last month, this month's income has decreased by [-]%. What's going on?"

Speaking of which, Zheng Longzhai's business has always been very good, and the income is also increasing every month, but after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the business has started to decline, and the income is getting less and less every month, and it is almost a loss-making business.

Fuhai was dripping with cold sweat, "This... I don't know, this dim sum is still made the same way as before, and we are not short of catties. I don't know why, but it is selling less and less." For this, he is also anxious I can't sleep all night, because I'm afraid that when my wife comes to check the accounts, I won't be able to deal with it.

Xue Shi also knew that it wasn't that these guys didn't work hard, there must be other reasons.She got up and went to the counter to check one by one. The dim sum was indeed made the same as before, and there was nothing wrong with it. The staff were also very hardworking. They kept the shop clean and tidy, and greeted customers with smiles when they came. Come on, the business is getting worse and worse, where is the problem?
Although Feng Ruoliu was picking snacks with Feng Ruotong, she kept paying attention to Xue's movements. Seeing her worried face, she went over and said with concern, "Mother, don't worry too much. After all, Zhenglongzhai is a famous name. Do you want to do business?" It's normal to have ups and downs from time to time, and it will get better."

Mrs. Xue nodded slightly, as a way to save face, and didn't speak.She knows the business situation of Zhenglongzhai best. If it continues like this, it will probably close down.

Feng Ruotong picked out a few, then turned around and said, "Second sister, what do you like to eat, pick quickly. Mother, why are you unhappy, what's wrong?" Ganqing was only focused on picking out snacks, and didn't hear Cai Fuhai's words at all .

Xue's eyes flickered, as if he had a plan, and said, "Zheng Longzhai's business is not doing well right now. Although all kinds of dim sum are good, they are not selling well. Ruotong, Ruoliu, what do you think is the reason?"

Oh?Feng Ruoliu's heart skipped a beat, is mother testing us, or testing us on purpose?But no matter what, if you have the opportunity to express yourself, you can't let it go. Of course, you have to be reserved on your face, "Mother was joking, how did my eldest sister and I understand this, talk nonsense, and don't let mother laugh."

Feng Ruotong just smiled and didn't seem to care.

Xue said, "It's okay, you just say what you want, I have my own measure."

Feng Ruoliu looked hesitant, "This... big sister, what do you think is going on? Why can't this snack be sold?"

"Me?" Feng Ruotong looked dazed, "I don't know, I just think this dessert is too much, I can't eat it at all."

Xue's heart moved, and he looked at Fu Hai: It makes sense, it seems that they made a lot of dim sum before, and the sales were so good, every time the customers bought a lot of them, they would not be able to finish them in a while, or some of them were sold at once. I'm afraid I won't buy it again in a short time if I'm tired of eating it, so it's no wonder it's like this.

Fu Hai looked at Feng Ruotong quite pleasantly. Didn't everyone say that the eldest lady is stupid? I didn't expect him to think about something that he didn't understand for a long time. An unintentional remark by the eldest lady would reveal the truth. This is not stupid at all, it is ... Great wisdom is like foolishness.

"Elder Sister said the same thing," Feng Ruoliu looked thoughtful, "But I think... mother forgives her, but daughter talks too much." He confessed his sins in the middle of what he said, obviously trying to whet people's appetites.

Xue said indifferently, "It's okay, let's go on, what do you think?"

"Yes, mother," Feng Ruoliu said respectfully, "Daughter thinks that there are too many of these dim sums, so it's not a big problem, as long as they are sold properly, they can still make a profit."

Fu Hai is about to give thumbs up, Miss Feng Er is well-known in the capital, she really didn't come here, since she said so, there must be some clever tricks, which can solve the danger of Zhenglong Zhai, you have to listen carefully.

"What good method do you have?" Mrs. Xue seemed to be looking forward to some clever plan from her. After all, Zhenglongzhai's income is getting less and less, it's not a matter of a day or two.

Feng Ruoliu said, "Mother, my daughter is talking nonsense, if what she said is wrong, please forgive me, mother."

Xue was a little displeased, Ruo Liu was really scheming, every time she said a word or did a thing, she had to leave a way out for herself, on the surface it seemed cautious, but if it was too much, it would inevitably give people a sense of prudence and self-defense. Always unpleasant. "Just say what you want, I have my own opinion."
