Song Qiu came close to Old Yuan and rested his head on her knees. Old Yuan naturally reflexively put his hand on the top of her head and began to pat her back and forth gently.
The firelight shone on the faces of the grandfather and grandson, which were red and extremely soft.
"Mistress, when it's your fiftieth birthday next year, we'll have a lively celebration, and I'll hire a theater troupe for you to add to the fun!"
"Okay, okay!"
"When I wait for your sixtieth birthday, I promised that my granddaughter will give you a flowing banquet for three days and three nights in eight villages ten miles away. The whole Panshi Town is in a state of excitement! Ten years, there are still ten years to go, these ten years
In the year, my granddaughter will definitely open all the inns throughout the calendar year, earn a fortune, and make our old Song family one of the best in every village in the ten miles and eight villages!"
"We don't have to wait ten years. Our family is now one of the best in ten villages. With this big house, the only one that can't compare to it is the Cheng family! I'm quite satisfied now. I just hope you are safe and healthy."
of."
"When I wait for your seventieth birthday, my granddaughter will prepare a running feast for you for ten days and ten nights, and invite a theater troupe to sing a ten-day opera!"
"Ouch! That scene is so lively!"
"Waiting for your eightieth birthday..."
"Hey, farewell, it's because of the Buddha's blessing that Nai can live to be seventy!"
"Why not? The ancestors of the Cheng family can live to be a hundred years old! My mother will also live a hundred years old! From the time I turn fifty next year, our family will start to do good deeds and accumulate virtues. We will do good deeds every day, give out porridge and clothes,
It doesn’t matter how much, let’s milk you little by little to accumulate merit, Buddha will see it.
When the time comes, you will be able to see your great-grandson grow up, have a baby, hug your great-grandson, and see your great-grandson get married and start a business!"
Old Yuan's eyes stopped laughing when she heard this, "Oh, that's great, then grandma has become a sperm!"
Song Qiu also laughed, "It's great to be a spirit! Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. With you as our ancestor in charge, everything will go smoothly and we will be rich and safe for a long time!"
Old Yuan nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I take medicinal food every day, and now I get up every morning to box with Grandma Song to exercise. I will live a good life and be an ancestor!"
"I bought a lot of good agar-agar and ordered the kitchen to stew a cup of milk every day. Don't be reluctant to part with the milk. Eat it all."
"I know, Nai! How about sleeping with Nai tonight? Nai drank some soup and put it under the quilt. It's still warm!"
"okay!"
…
I have been gone for three months and will soon come back, and there are a lot of things going on.
The next morning, after breakfast, Aling took his three apprentices to visit his uncle. Then he was busy teaching them martial arts every day. By the way, he also brought Ye Fang, a "guest" that Song Qiu couldn't care about, so that Song Qiu could
Concentrate on your own business.
The first one is accounting.
As soon as he finished speaking, several stewards gathered in the hall to pay their respects to Song Qiu in the afternoon.
Du Chuanfu, the chief housekeeper, Nanny Zou, the housekeeper of the inner courtyard, Lin Desheng, the village head, Tao, the shopkeeper of Songshan Inn, and Xi Meier, the acting shopkeeper of the dessert shop.
First, the business comes in.
Du Chuanfu is mainly in charge of the two stalls Doubanjiang and Hongyou.
When Song Qiu left, there were still many red peppers piled in the warehouse waiting for work, plus the second crop of five acres of land in Zhuangzi, and many people in Huangjia Village watched the second crop of Zhuangzi being planted, and followed suit.
Plant a little bit, and then your relatives and my relatives will pass it on, and many will follow suit.
In October, a lot of red peppers started to be harvested.
The bean paste workshop is currently closed, but the bean paste jars are piled high, and they won't be able to be sold out in a short while.
And Hongyou is still doing it.
Du Chuanfu remembers every item in the accounts clearly and has stacked several books.
In the past three months, Doubanjiang, which was taken away by Fang Ji, had a total income of 12,600 taels, and the red oil also amounted to 12,000 taels.
Of course, it's not a net gain.
The next thing Du Chuanfu had to report was the accounts.
The wages paid by the workshop, the cost of collecting red peppers, the cost of recycling jars, the cost of branding oil paper, the seasonings needed to make bean paste, etc., the dried peppers bought from Fang Ji to make red oil, etc.
These comprehensive expenses totaled 7,200 taels, and the remaining 17,400 taels were the final income.
After three months of going out, Song Qiu was very happy and had a profit of more than 17,000 taels from Doubanjiang and Hongyou.
Wan Guan family wealth, Wan Guan family wealth!
Seeing Du Chuanfu opening the box and revealing stacks of banknotes inside, Song Qiu was so excited that he wanted to take off on the spot.
After all, she knew that she was not alone now, and there were people below. As a boss, she couldn't be so "money-minded", so Song Qiu looked very calm, closed the box, and looked at the next one.
Next, Zhuangtou Lin Desheng.
The vermicelli workshop has been in operation since the weather started to get colder in mid-September. First, the buyer received the starch, and then the sweet potato workshop here started at the end of September and started delivering starch one after another. So far, it has been in operation for two months.
Already.
Fang Ji took away the bulk of the noodles he made, and sent the small ones to Songshan Inn. Together with the set of hot and sour noodles, they were supplied to many vendors. In addition to the labor costs, the accumulated income was a total net income.
It's seventy-five taels.
Then there is Shopkeeper Tao.
The inn's three-month income, excluding the cost of ingredients and the wages of the inn's staff, resulted in a total net income of three hundred and thirty taels, including the hot and sour noodle set, and the rice used in the inn is currently from Niu Jia Bang.
The rent collected at the same time saved the cost of buying rice.
In addition, Shopkeeper Tao also handed over the accounts and money of the Crescent Inn in Suzhou Prefecture, a total of one hundred and eighty-seven taels.
Next is the dessert shop.
Ximeier learned from Yang Dalian how to write commonly used characters, how to keep accounts, and worked as a shopkeeper for three months. She was also very impressive.
Just like Zhuangzi, the income for three months is nothing compared to Doubanjiang and red oil. A full amount of eighty-eight taels is pretty good.
These places add up to a total of six hundred and sixty-three taels.
There are silver notes, silver ingots, scattered silver taels, and a lot of copper plates. This large pile seems to be a lot, but compared to the silver notes in the box, it is like a fly seeing an elephant.
Not enough.
But no matter how small a fly is, it is still meat. Even if it is more than 600 taels of silver, it is still a lot of money.
This is all three months’ income.
Next, Du Chuanfu, the great butler, will report everyone's wages and expenses at the end of three months. The total number of people inside and outside the house, as well as on the village, is 70 or 80. He will leave in three months.
Nearly fifty taels of silver were paid.
Then Aunt Zou reported on the internal affairs, including the seasonal clothes for the servants and the food and clothing expenses for the upper and lower staff. A total of more than one hundred taels of silver was spent in three months.
There were outgoings and advances, and all the accounts were clear and clear. After this small meeting, Song Qiu felt very relieved.
She had been away from home for three months, and everything at home was going well, with no leaks.
Song Qiu encouraged a few people, saying that they had worked so hard, and then he sealed each of them with a red seal.
After talking about the business, Song Qiu left shopkeeper Tao behind and told him about the situation of the Tao brothers. Neither of his two sons would come back to celebrate the New Year this year, in front of the shopkeeper.
Talking about the marriage again, Song Qiu asked shopkeeper Tao to go back and tell Mrs. Li that he would come to see her after breakfast tomorrow.
Then he left Xi Meier behind and called Yang Dalian in to talk about their marriage.
