After meditating in the space for half an hour, Tao Qiqi left the space and slept until the next day.
He was originally going to send Nangong Ye off, but when she woke up, Nangong Ye had already left, leaving only a thick letter and giving it to her.
It wasn't that Nangong Ye left without saying goodbye on purpose.
He just didn't want to wait until dawn to leave and be discovered by others, and he didn't want to disturb Tao Qiqi's rest in the middle of the night.
That's why I left the letter.
Taking his letter, Tao Qiqi was not angry with him.
After breakfast, she ran back to her room to read the mail.
As a result, when the letter was opened, there was only a single line of text inside.
Don’t miss me when I come back!
Seeing that there were only six words written on the page, Tao Qiqi angrily threw the letter away and walked out of the room.
As he walked, he said angrily: "You are so sentimental, who will miss you? Don't think about it yet, I am still waiting for you to come back. Why should I wait for you? I am very busy every day, I have to be busy making money, busy collecting herbs in the mountains,
I'm very busy, okay? I don't even have time to think about you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yu happened to come over to look for Tao Qiqi, and the two happened to bump into each other at the entrance of the courtyard. Fang Yu only heard the last two sentences of Tao Qiqi, and asked curiously: "Who are you thinking of?"
Tao Qiqi, who was angry, didn't notice Fang Yu's arrival at all, but Fang Yu's voice startled her.
"Xiaoyu, why are you here?"
Fang Yu looked at Tao Qiqi, but instead of answering Tao Qiqi's question, she asked: "I'm asking you, you just said you don't have time to miss you, who are you missing? My third brother?"
Tao Qiqi, who was hit by Fang Yu's words, immediately denied it: "Are you afraid you heard it wrong? I didn't say anything just now."
Fang Yu: "Yes, you didn't say anything. It was your heart that spoke. You were angry with Third Brother for leaving without saying goodbye. But weren't you fine during breakfast just now? I didn't see you angry. Could it be?
What did Third Brother say in his letter that made you angry? What did Third Brother say to you?"
Tao Qiqi's eyes dodge: "No, it's nothing, I didn't say anything."
Fang Yu: "If you don't dare to look at me and answer the question, Third Brother must have told you something."
Tao Qiqi: "I really didn't say anything. It's not like you don't know that Third Brother. He talked very little all day long. In the letter, he just told me to take care of everyone. Let's go and go to the restaurant to help. Wait.
After these few days, if the restaurant business is still so good, we will hire another accountant."
When Tao Qiqi said this, Fang Yu didn't think about it and didn't pursue her anymore.
So the two of them walked to the restaurant.
"Steward Yu, why are you here?" As soon as she arrived at the door of the restaurant, Tao Qiqi met the steward from Zhuangzi and came over.
Manager Yu replied with a smile: "I came to see you, my boss. The grain in the village will be harvested in a few days. Will the new grain harvested by then be sold to the previous grain merchants or do you have other plans?
It just so happened that the grain dealer I had been working with in the past came over these days. After learning that Zhuangzi had changed his owner, he mentioned this matter, so he asked me to come over and ask so that they could make plans. In addition, the previous owner did not say that after the grain harvest
, Zhuangzi, are you going to plant something else?"
Tao Qiqi thought for a while and replied: "After harvesting the grain, I will store it in the warehouse first. I have other uses, so I won't sell it for now. In addition, Zhuangzi wants to plant other things. I will send all the seeds there in two days."
Manager Yu: "Okay. Then I'll go back and talk to the grain dealer. This will save them the trouble of waiting any longer."
Tao Qiqi: "Thank you for your hard work."
Manager Yu bowed to Tao Qiqi and saluted, and replied: "Everywhere, this is what I should do. Boss, you are busy first. I will go back and talk to the grain merchant first."
Tao Qiqi nodded, and Guanshi returned to Zhuangzi.
The restaurant opened in the morning, and business was as good as ever, and everyone was busy.
They say that it may not be better than three, not to mention that in the first three days, Tao Qiqi also organized a giveaway event with purchases.
Therefore, both Tao Qiqi and Fang Yu thought that business might decline on the fourth day.
But the result was that the restaurant business was busy day after day, reaching the seventh and eighth days, and there was no sign of a decline in business.
The daily turnover is controlled at around 1,500 taels.
"It looks like we really need to buy two more accountants before we come back. Xiaoyu, it's not very busy here now, so I'll leave it to you first and I'll go out." The lunch market was about to end, and Tao Qiqi went to Fang Yu.
said.
"Are you going to buy people?" Fang Yu asked.
Tao Qiqi nodded: "Well, when I buy them, I'll let you take them with them for a few days. Zhuangzi is still waiting for me to come over and see how they plan to grow vegetables."
Fang Yu: "Then go ahead and leave this place to me."
Then Tao Qiqi took the time to buy two more accountants.
Business was good, so the cashier had to arrange two. Fang Yu was going to be out at that time, so I bought two directly.
Fang Yu was there to guide them during the evening market.
The people who buy it are all people who know numbers and have done accounting before, so they should be able to take over quickly.
However, after buying it back, Tao Qiqi completely became a hands-off shopkeeper.
The next day, he went to Zhuangzi with all kinds of grain and vegetable seeds.
When she arrived at Zhuangzi, she followed the plan she had made before and held a meeting with several managers in Zhuangzi. After dividing the seeds, she handed the seeds to them. She had completed another thing.
All that's left is to wait for the grain to be harvested and then start sowing.
But strangely enough, since Nangong Ye left with his people, there have never been any disorderly people in Nanguan City.
Tao Qiqi and the others were living a much calmer life.
Now Nangong Ye and his party have been away for five or six days, and Xiao Hei didn't bring her any bad news.
If there is no news, that is the best news.
After returning from Zhuangzi, Tao Qiqi brought back some fish and planned to cook a delicious meal in person in the evening.
I have been busy these past few days. I eat with the restaurant staff at noon every day. When I go back to the house in the evening, there are servants who have prepared the food.
Although when Tao Qiqi came back from buying people, she specially selected a few that cooked well, but after all, they were still not as delicious as the ones she cooked herself.
So she would do it by herself whenever she had free time, so that she would not be crafty in the future.
Tonight she is going to make a grilled fish hot pot for everyone to try.
When eating grilled fish hot pot, tofu is indispensable, and so are vegetables.
So after returning from Zhuangzi, Tao Qiqi started busy in the house.
Soon, with her help, the fragrant grilled fish hot pot was ready.
"It's time to eat." As Tao Qiqi started eating, a few people who were still in Nanguan City gathered around.
"It used to be a lively meal, but now it's just the six of us. It feels like no one is rushing to eat, and we eat less every day." Fang Yu couldn't help but say while looking at the delicious food.
And the six people she mentioned included the nuns around Jiang Su and Qi Mei. Otherwise, it would be even more deserted if there were only the four of them eating.
"I don't know what the situation is like at Aye's side now." Jiang Su also said with some worry.
Seeing this, Tao Qiqi comforted her: "Don't worry, Aunt Jiang. As long as Xiao Hei doesn't look for me, it means there is nothing wrong with Third Brother. If anything happens, Xiao Hei would have come here long ago."
As soon as he finished speaking, the housekeeper from the house led someone in, then saluted Tao Qiqi and said: "Sir, Guard Zhang next to General Han came to see you in an emergency. I see that he is quite anxious, so I went directly to you."
