After running around for so many days, he finally got the capital. Although it seemed easy, Li Qi also spent a lot of energy.
The next day, when the sun was about three o'clock in the morning, he got up from the bed.
When they arrived at the store, brothers Wu Xiaoliu and Zhuzi had already started work. Although there were not as many customers coming to buy stinky tofu as before, the three of them were still very busy.
Because there are not many opportunities like this anymore.
Tonight, Uncle Zhang will deliver the last load of tofu, totaling 1,600 yuan. This is also the highest output of his mill in a day.
Li Qi has no intention of placing any more orders. Since there are far fewer customers now, the 1,400 pieces of tofu delivered last night plus the 1,600 pieces of white rice that will be delivered tonight are enough to last for a few days.
In another seven days at most, the first batch of stinky tofu from Jade Pavilion across the street should be available. Li Qi knew that Cai Yuanwai would definitely keep the price down by then, and his shop would also serve wine and food, so all the customers would be satisfied.
Run to Jade Pavilion.
However, Li Qi had no intention of competing with the other party for this piece of fat, nor did he have the capital to do so.
"Good morning, Uncle Wu!"
Li Qi greeted Wu Furong who was standing at the counter.
Wu Furong said hello to Li Qi, and then began to calculate the accounts again.
When Li Qi saw it, he was very confused. How could there be so many calculations and he kept doing them all day long? Maybe Old Wu did it deliberately for himself to see.
As everyone knows, today's accounting method is not as scientific and advanced as that of later generations. It can be done with just a few clicks on the keyboard, and the chance of making mistakes is very small.
In ancient times, accounting was very troublesome. You had to write down the abacus on paper with a brush, and the probability of making mistakes was extremely high, so you had to do the calculations over and over again several times, or even a dozen times.
, the efficiency is naturally not flattering.
Li Qi said hello to Wu Xiaoliu and the Zhuzhu brothers again, and then went to Aunt Cao's refreshment stall nearby.
Ever since Zuixianju started selling stinky tofu, Aunt Cao's business has also been increasing. Sometimes, Zuixianju is full, and those customers have no choice but to buy stinky tofu and go to Aunt Cao's refreshment stall. In this way,
There were more and more customers at her stall.
As soon as Aunt Cao saw Li Qi coming, she immediately went up to him with a smile and said, "Brother, what do you want to eat?"
"Two buns!"
"Hey, just wait a moment and I'll bring it to you right away."
After a while, Aunt Cao put two big steamed buns in front of Li Qi and said with a smile: "Brother, have you been busy recently?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Not bad! Is your business here getting much better recently?"
"Oh, thanks to your store, the business here is much better than before. I am busy all day long and don't even have a chance to breathe. However, this is also thanks to your boss not selling the store to Jade Xuan." Cao Cao
The aunt covered her mouth and giggled, it seemed that these days had really made her extremely happy.
Li Qi chuckled and said: "Auntie, I advise you to find a helper. You are making money, but you are exhausted."
"I have thought about this too, but in the past two days I have seen fewer customers coming to your store, so I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be no business again." Aunt Cao's little eyes twinkled.
Li Qi knew that she wanted to get information from him, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, follow our boss, are you afraid of not having enough to eat? But that's it for now. After a while, you can invite a few more people."
, guaranteed to make you money and make money."
"That's that, I will remember it."
Aunt Cao nodded hurriedly and said wisely: "Brother, please eat slowly while I go to work." After that, she twisted her butt and left.
Although Aunt Cao is a little philistine, she has a good heart and the steamed buns she makes are very generous, so Li Qi also wants to help her.
After a while, Li Qi wiped out the two steamed buns, threw a few coins on the table, and walked leisurely towards Zuixianju.
Huh? Isn’t that Xiao Tao?
Before taking two steps, Li Qi suddenly saw Mrs. Qin's personal maid, Xiao Tao, walking towards this direction.
When Xiao Tao approached, Li Qi hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Tao!"
Xiao Tao was slightly startled, and when she saw it was Li Qi, she hurriedly saluted and said, "Hello, Mr. Li!"
"Be good! Be good!"
Li Qi waved his hand and glanced at Wu Xiaoliu who was frying stinky tofu. Seeing that his eyes kept glancing this way, he had no intention of frying tofu. He smiled and raised his voice and said: "Xiao Tao, you are here to see Xiao Liuzi."
Bar."
"I'm not here to find him!"
Xiaotao lowered her lips and said, "Madam called me to send a message to Uncle Wu."
When Wu Xiaoliu heard Li Qi's question, he felt happy at first, and then when he heard Xiaotao say that he was not here to see him, his whole body was like an eggplant with frost, and he became weak and stinky.
The tofu is gone.
Li Qi felt happy when he saw Wu Xiaoliu's appearance. He suppressed his smile and asked, "Madam, is she okay?"
Speaking of this, he actually missed Mrs. Qin, whom he had only met once but was so beautiful.
Xiao Tao said: "Thank you Mr. Li for your concern. Everything is fine, Madam."
"Well, that's good. Uncle Wu is settling accounts in the store. You can go find him." Li Qi nodded and pointed to the store.
Xiao Tao saluted Li Qi and walked towards the store.
After Xiao Tao entered, Li Qi came to Wu Xiaoliu's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You kid, get out of here first and get your heart back. Leave this place to me for now."
Wu Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, said a few meaningless words, handed the spoon to Li Qihou, and then hurried in.
"Hey, it's so sad to have such an apprentice in the stall who doesn't know how to pick up girls!"
Li Qi sighed and glanced at Chen Xiaozhu aside. Seeing that he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, he joked: "What? Xiaozhu, do you want to go in too?"
Chen Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment, his face turned red like a monkey's butt, and he shook his head like a rattle.
Li Qi smiled and shook his head, and found three virgins as his apprentices. Alas, it looks like he will be busy in the future.
Xiaotao didn't stay in there for too long. After a while, she walked out, said hello to Li Qi, and left.
Under Li Qi's instigation, Wu Xiaoliu finally became enlightened and shamelessly acted as a flower protector.
During lunch, Wu Furong pulled Li Qi to one side and whispered: "Mr. Li, Madam asked me to go to my house in the afternoon."
Li Qi nodded and said, "I know!"
"you know?"
Wu Furong was slightly startled and asked: "Did Liuzi tell you?"
Li Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "Tomorrow is the last day of the fifteen-day period. Madam will definitely call you over first to get some information and discuss with you how to deal with me. Oh no, what kind of treatment should I receive?
.”
Wu Furong listened and said with a wry smile: "It seems I can't hide anything from you!"
Li Qi's face was full of regret and he sighed: "That's not true. For example, I have been thinking hard about the age of Madam, but I still can't figure it out!"
Wu Furong's mouth twitched a few times and he coughed a few times on purpose. He did not dare to continue the topic and asked hurriedly: "Master Li, when Madam asks, what should I say?"
Hey, I didn't expect that this old Wu is usually quite old-fashioned in his speech, but at critical moments he is quite polite.
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Just tell the truth, but praise me as much as possible. Anyway, just praise me to death. There is something in the sky but nothing in the earth. He is talented, charming and unstoppable -
--Hey, uncle, what's your expression like ---am I right?"
Wu Furong's old face turned red, he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from laughing out loud, and nodded: "No matter what, Mr. Li is telling the truth."
"This is a must. How dare I deceive Madam? Anyway, just tell Madam dozens of times about my wise decisions and heroic deeds on how to defeat Yuan Cai!" Li Qi's face turned red and he was angry.
He said without breathing.
Dozens of times?
Wu Furong suddenly took a breath of air and looked at Li Qi blankly, saying nothing for a long time!
