Chapter 655 A good start
Happy time is always short and fast.
Everyone had been busy for a day, and their legs were so tired that their hands were numb, especially the servants and maids who were carrying plates. They were not idle for a quarter of an hour, and they were always shuttling back and forth between the front hall and the back kitchen, carrying plates.
During lunch, as there were more and more customers, I had no choice but to take a few bites of steamed buns to suppress my hunger.
At 8 o'clock, the last batch of customers were sent away, and the Xiangfen shop finally closed.
After a while, He Ming held the day's account book in his hand, handed it over, and said happily: "Master, take a look."
Xia Qianqian took a look at the account book, looked slightly startled, then smiled and said: "I didn't expect that our income in one day would be so much. It's a good start."
Handing the account book to him, she pursed her lips and said, "Go ahead, everyone has worked hard today. I have sent people from the kitchen to prepare hot and sour noodles with various flavors. Everyone, go and get a portion."
"From now on, as long as they like it, they can try it every day. Anyone who can give valuable advice will be rewarded."
He Ming's face was full of excitement, he raised his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Master, for your love."
As soon as he walked out of the private room, a burst of cheers came from the lobby.
Li Yunniang looked at Xia Qianqian, stepped forward, and whispered: "How much is today's income in the account book?"
"Can you guess?" Xia Qianqian gave it a try.
"Thirty taels?" Li Yunniang tried her best to estimate as high as possible.
After all, the daily income of the "Jiafa" shop is about two taels of silver.
With such a large storefront and so many guests, this Xiang Xiang Powder Shop will definitely earn a lot of money.
However, in order to make small profits but quick turnover, the price of each serving of hot and sour rice noodles is not high, and peanuts and broad beans, iced drinks, etc. are also provided for free. After excluding these additional costs, it is estimated that there will not be much.
"Guess more?" Xia Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled.
"Fifty taels?" This number is the biggest limit Li Yunniang can think of.
Unexpectedly, Xia Qianqian stretched out four fingers.
Li Yunniang's eyes sparkled, "Forty taels?"
An income of forty taels is considered very impressive.
"It's not ten, it's four hundred taels!"
Four hundred taels?
How is that possible?
Li Yunniang's mouth opened wide and she couldn't close it for a long time.
Hua Zhu'er on the side clapped her hands and said excitedly: "Girl, if we continue like this, it won't be long before we are a household worth ten thousand yuan. After a while, we may become the richest man in Jiangcheng..."
Xia Qianqian raised her brows and said, "Zhu'er, don't be excited. His Highness the King is here to support you today. The villagers came here for his reputation. In addition, driven by everyone's curiosity, the house will be full of guests. After today, maybe it will be over.
."
"Girl, many people in the lobby praised our hot and sour noodles for being delicious."
"So in the days to come, we have to rely on ourselves and strive to retain customers with quality and taste, so as to strive for excellence and reach a higher level."
Hua Zhuer nodded hurriedly, "Girl, everything you said is right."
After a busy day, the family tidied up and returned to the Xia family in the alleys of East Street.
Li Yunniang was still immersed in the joy of making a lot of money. After returning home, she had been discussing the recipe of hot and sour noodles in the store with Aunt Gui.
Xia Qianqian didn't care about this. She got up and went to the backyard. Li Yunniang called out from behind, "Qianqian, that Pingyang Marquis, why is he acting so weird?"
Xia Qianqian turned around.
In the hall, under the bright light, her face was filled with worry, and her brows were knitted together, "Today, my mother feels that the way he looks at you is particularly strange."
"Is it weird?" Xia Qianqian murmured.
"It's very strange!" Li Yunniang took a few steps forward and grabbed Xia Qianqian's hand, "Mrs. Xi is his mistress, and she likes you so much. Her husband loves you so much that he shouldn't be so unpredictable towards you.
A penetrating look."
"Elusive?" Xia Qianqian repeated.
She discovered that Li Yunniang was very vigilant.
Even she found that Xia Chengan's attitude towards her was a bit unusual.
"The thoughts of people in high positions are always a bit confusing and difficult to guess."
Li Yunniang was a little worried, "The Holy One asked him to read out the imperial decree. Marquis Pingyang came all the way. Maybe he has objections to this move and is quite dissatisfied. Maybe he will wait for an opportunity to find trouble and deal with you."
As a farmer's wife, Li Yunniang was simple-minded at first, but once Xia Qianqian was involved, she began to think long-term.
"No!"
Xia Qianqian didn't want her to be too anxious, so she held her hand and comforted her: "Today, His Highness Prince Xian solemnly stated in front of him that I will be the head mistress of Prince Xian's Mansion in the future."
"Really?" Li Yunniang was stunned by this explosive news.
It’s not that she doesn’t understand His Royal Highness the King’s thoughts about his daughter.
She always thought that if her daughter wanted to marry His Highness the Wise King, she must first follow him back to the capital.
Not everyone can sit in the position of Princess Xian.
It must be approved by the elders in the palace.
His Royal Highness the King's parents died young, but there are still his elders in the capital. After explaining the reason, and after being recommended, and getting the permission of the Holy Emperor, the matter of getting married will be put on the agenda little by little.
"Then are you going to follow His Highness the King Xian back to the capital this time?" Li Yunniang asked in a low voice.
This is a problem that she must face in the future, but she just didn't expect it to be so soon.
"He is going back to the capital." Xia Qianqian didn't hide it, "But I haven't made a decision yet?"
"That's..." Li Yunniang looked at her expression and said cautiously: "Don't you want to marry him?"
"I know how to marry!"
Xia Qianqian looked back at Li Yunniang, "My life in Jiangcheng was very prosperous. How could I leave my career behind if I was asked to change places again?"
"You!" Li Yunniang turned from worry to joy and couldn't help but scolded: "Qianqian, you have grown up. After all, you have to think more about yourself."
"A person like His Highness the Wise King has a noble status and is rare in the world. At first, my mother was afraid that he would be aloof and arrogant, but you wouldn't be able to stand it. After marrying him, you would be bullied."
"But after this period of observation, I found that he is gentle and considerate to you, and does not look down on you because of his status. I feel relieved."
"Now, he has asked the Holy One for you to be given the title of Qianqian County Lord. If you marry into Prince Xian's palace in the future, no one will dare to look down upon you."
"With His Highness the King's sincerity, I can safely hand you over to him."
"If I leave, are you not going to come with me?" Xia Qianqian interrupted her.
"Your father hasn't come home yet. There is still no news since I received his letter last time. But I believe he will come back soon."
"I will wait for him in Jiangcheng. When he comes back, we can go look for you together, okay?"
Xia Qianqian: "..."
This is not a good idea.
Xia Chi is in Border Vine City, which is a mixed place. When and whether you can come back are all questions.
