Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 77
"Compared to Manager Fu, what kind of a busy person am I? Manager Fu, I am a small businessman, and you are a big businessman. I know myself, but I dare not come to bother you. I am grateful that Manager Fu fell in love with me wrongly." Ye Qiongdan smiled politely.

"When I was at Shopkeeper Ye's age, I didn't have the achievements of Shopkeeper Ye, why should Shopkeeper Ye belittle himself?" Manager Fu said with a smile, "Women in this world shouldn't work so hard, men should go outside to work hard. I understand Shopkeeper Ye's desire to save more dowry, but since Shopkeeper Ye is at the same age as a flower, he should accept it as soon as he sees it, find a good husband and marry him, and live a leisurely life as husband and wife from then on."

"So?" Ye Qiongdan sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked leisurely.

"So, I want to discuss a business with Shopkeeper Ye. If this business is concluded, Shopkeeper Ye will be able to live a leisurely life immediately."

Ye Qiongdan didn't speak, and took a sip of tea lightly.

The tea is already a little cold, but it's just right to quench your thirst.

Manager Fu thought that she would be impatient to ask him, because these country girls who have no vision, all they want in their life is to marry a good family, right?

Unexpectedly, Ye Qiongdan drank a cup of tea leisurely, and then poured himself another cup of tea, as if he was not interested in what he said at all.

Manager Fu waited for a long while, but instead of waiting for Ye Qiongdan's embarrassment, he himself was a little embarrassed.

He couldn't help but look at Ye Qiongdan with admiration, it's really rare to see this girl with such a mind at such a young age!

"Master Ye, I am willing to pay 1000 taels of silver to buy your restaurant, as well as the recipes for processing pig offal and wild bracken, and the recipes for making these dishes." Manager Fu could only say to himself.

Ye Qiongdan drank the tea in the cup and said with a half-smile: "Guanfu Fu thinks I will agree?"

"1000 taels of silver is enough for you to become the richest man in the village."

Manager Fu felt that she would be persuaded by him. After all, she was just an ignorant country girl. When she suddenly saw so much money, she would definitely agree, right?

"Manager Fu, let me do the math for you." Ye Qiongdan pushed the teacup aside and stared at him, "Jiuwei Restaurant can sell about 25 barrels of food every day at noon, and it's about the same at night, fifty barrels a day. In addition to Qili Town, we also contracted a lot of unwanted pigs in the two surrounding towns.

"According to the previous calculation when setting up a stall, a wooden barrel can hold about 150 meals wrapped in lotus leaves, and each meal is priced at five Wen. You can earn 450 Wen for a bucket of meals.

"Calculated in this way, the net profit of a day is about 22500 taels. According to the calculation that 28 copper plates are one tael of silver, the net profit of a day is about 840 taels of silver. After digging out the six qian distributed to the two guys The monthly salary is about 1000 taels of silver. Do you think I would be willing to let you buy Jiuwei Restaurant at a price of [-] taels of silver?
"What's more, the house and land deeds of this shop are in my hands, and this shop is in a prime location on the pier. Even if I sell the shop, the house and land deeds can be sold for 600 taels of silver, right?"

Manager Fu didn't expect her to be so easy to fool, so he said, "Then it's 500 taels of silver."

Ye Qiongdan didn't speak.

Manager Fu persuaded: "Don't shopkeeper Ye want to get married early? This money is enough for you to marry a poor scholar and support him to study with peace of mind. In the future, your husband will be very grateful to you. After he becomes prosperous, you can also enjoy it." If you are rich and honored, why bother to work in the shop?"

"I work hard to make money by myself, and I can also enjoy glory and wealth. Why should I wait for him to flourish?" Ye Qiongdan sneered, "What's more, when I wait for him to flourish, I will be old. Meijuan, I will only be lonely in the empty court. Paying the steward, I still earn the money myself, so I feel more at ease."

Steward Fu looked at her with a very oppressive gaze.

But Ye Qiongdan didn't look away, just looked at him calmly, as if she didn't feel any pressure at all.

Manager Fu knew he was wrong. Although the other party was born in the countryside, he was extremely ambitious.

Such women don't care so much about worldly views. They would rather raise a few faces in the mansion after they become rich.

"But standing behind me is Wu's Chamber of Commerce." Manager Fu slowly put away his smile.

"So what?" Ye Qiongdan raised his eyebrows without any fear.

"The most I can give you is 2000 taels of silver. This price is already quite a lot. If you don't know good and bad, be careful that you won't get the last penny. Little girl, it's good to be ambitious, but you have to recognize the reality."

"Is this a threat?"

"You can understand it this way," Manager Fu said with a straight face, "There is nothing wrong with taking 2000 taels of silver for nothing. You can use this money to do other business. Presumably, with the wisdom of shopkeeper Ye, you can also do well." rise."

This is like an adult who robbed a child of a gold brick, and finally gave the child a tael of silver, and told the child that you can use the tael of silver to start a small business. , After decades, you will definitely be able to earn more gold bricks with this tael of silver.

Isn't it shameless?
"Then there is nothing to talk about," Ye Qiongdan stood up, "I wish Steward Fu a prosperous business, I still have something to do, let's go first."

After Ye Qiongdan left, Manager Fu walked out of the private room with a displeased expression on his face, and said to the young man waiting outside the door: "Ah Shun, go and check it out, deal with pig offal, wild bracken, secret recipes and these dishes. Who else knows the recipe, except that girl Ye Qiongdan."

"Yes!" Ah Shun nodded.

Manager Fu believes that money can turn ghosts around, as long as he spends a little money, isn't it easy to fool a few countrymen?In his eyes, country people are no different from fools,
After Ye Qiongdan returned to Jiuwei Restaurant, the second daughter-in-law immediately asked, "Then what does the steward want from you?"

"I want to buy Jiuwei Restaurant for 2000 taels of silver." Ye Qiongdan said flatly.

"2000 taels of silver? That's a huge sum of money! I've never seen so much silver in my life," the second wife immediately became excited, "Then do you agree?"

"If I agree, I will give you 200 taels of silver. From now on, you will never get any more money from me," Ye Qiongdan said, shaking his head again, "No, how can I give you 200 taels of silver?" What about the silver? The shop is mine, so even if the shop occupies 600 taels of silver, I only need to share 140 taels of silver with you."

"What? It's only 140 taels of silver! Then this shop must not be sold!" The second wife slapped her thigh!
"Then... the manager Fu will come to trouble us?" Xiang girl asked worriedly.

"In broad daylight, the world is bright and the sky is clear. Poisoning and other indiscriminate tricks should not be used again. Besides, if he plans to sell fried pig offal and wild bracken in the future, our shop will show up." After the poisoning of the diners, he took over, do you think the guests will not feel uncomfortable?"

"That's true." Xiang girl nodded.

The daughter-in-law of the second room lowered her eyes and said nothing, and she didn't know if she was having a little fight in her heart again.

Soon, it was time for the lights to come on.

After selling the food, Ye Qiongdan and Ye Qinghan returned to the new house. Before they entered, they heard a strange voice.

"Xiao Hai, you know a lot, can you teach me? I want to learn too."

The voice was as clear and pleasant as a jade bead pendant, with the innocent charm unique to girls.

Ye Qiongdan opened the door and saw two young girls sitting under the big pomegranate tree in the yard.

Ye Qionghai in blue was looking down at his abacus, with a stack of ledgers beside him, with an unnatural expression on his face.

The strange girl in green rested her chin on her right hand, staring at the account book in her hand, looking at it seriously.

The girl wears a slanted bun with a simple and elegant wooden hairpin. She has a pink face and peach cheeks, and a graceful figure. The few white lotuses embroidered on the cotton and linen green dress are also very elegant, and the upper of her shoes is also embroidered The supporting moonlight in the lotus pond.

The beauty of this young girl can be regarded as a rare beauty in these ten miles and eight villages.

It can be seen that her family background is not superior, but she is good at embroidery and has a delicate heart. After tidying herself up skillfully, she has crushed many young girls in the village.

It's just that in front of Ye Qiongdan's icy muscles and jade bones, which are tempered with the vitality of heaven and earth every day, it is like pearls to the bright moon, and wormwood to Zhilan.

Even in terms of appearance alone, regardless of spirit, Ye Qiongdan is even better.

After hearing the sound of the door opening, the girl turned her head, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Women who are more beautiful than themselves will always have a natural hostility.

However, she put away her hostility soon, and said with a smile: "This is Miss Ye, right? I'm Mao Chun from Zhangjiawan, and I'm coming to my uncle's house to stay for a while."

Ye Qiongdan has no impression of Mao Chun, Mao Chun has never come to Mao's house before, but Ye Qiongdan has heard of her name.

A few days ago, Matchmaker Zhang from Zhangjiawan came to the door, and she specially wanted to introduce Miss Maochun from Xinghua Village in Zhangjiawan to my eldest brother, saying that she was a flower in the village and my brother was a scholar.

Ye Qiongdan looked at her face carefully, and found that her father lost her childhood, her mother was sick, and she had been suffering for the first ten years of her life, and her life was not going well.

The Mao family and the Ye family's new house are not far away. Mao Chun hasn't visited his uncle's house for more than ten years, and now he suddenly lives in his uncle's house. Could it be that he wants to get the moon first so that he can take Ye Qinghan nearby?

"Miss Mao." Ye Qiongdan greeted politely, and then fell silent.

"Can I call you Dan'er? I feel kind to you as soon as I see you, and I really want to make friends with you." Mao Chun seemed to be unaware of her politeness and alienation, still smiling, "I am in the Zhang family. I've heard of you since I was in Wanwan, Dan'er, you are really not simple, you have become the big shopkeeper in the town at the age of fourteen or fifteen."

"Hehe, it's okay," Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly, "I'm going to cook, you can continue talking."

"Let me cook for you!" Mao Chun got up immediately, "I'm really sorry for bothering Xiao Hai all afternoon."

"No, you guys can play."

"My father used to be a chef in the town. I have learned a few dishes from my father, and I will let you have a taste of my skills," Mao Chun said, looking at Ye Qinghan shyly, and said in a low voice. Said, "Everyone is tired all day, let's rest first."
