It was drizzling intermittently outside, and there were very few guests after mid-morning.
When she was free, Qu Raner was busy calculating at the counter, calculating the turnover and profit so far one by one.
After a while, Qu Ran'er suddenly moved his hand away from the abacus, shook his head and sighed to himself: "Oh, this damn weather, it rains, it rains, it always rains, are you going to let me do business?"
"
With that said, Qu Raner looked at the weather outside. It was still raining continuously, and there were only a few pedestrians on the road.
Indeed, the weather during this period was relatively bad, with either continuous rain or heavy downpours. The number of customers coming to the restaurant to spend money was at least 30% less than in previous days.
Seeing that the money he earned was much less, Qu Ran'er couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. However, this was only a short-term emotional ups and downs. Qu Ran'er believed that as long as the weather got better and sunny, the restaurant's business would still be as good as before.
!
Qu Ran'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then reset the abacus beads to zero with a swipe of her hand, and neatly put the account book into the box under the counter.
"Big head! Come here..."
Qu Raner straightened up and screamed.
The boss is the waiter, responsible for greeting the guests on the first floor.
Soon, a young man with a big head ran over and asked: "Master, what's going on?"
Qu Ran'er walked out of the counter and said to Datou: "We don't have much wine left. While you have nothing to do, go and get some wine back... Remember, you must go to Lao Zhao's house on West Street."
Liquor shop, please don’t go to that Li’s shop again. His wine is terrible and the customers are complaining..."
Da TouMa immediately responded: "Remember my boss, I will definitely go to Lao Zhao's house and not to any other house!"
After saying that, Datou left.
Next, Qu Ran'er told her all the trivial matters in the store, and then took an umbrella, planning to go home and sleep for an hour before coming back to the restaurant later.
Qu Raner left the restaurant holding an umbrella and walked home with her skirt slightly lifted. When she reached the intersection, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure walking in the other direction.
"Chan'er?" Qu Ran'er was stunned, wondering why she was the only one?
At this time, it was still drizzling in the sky. Chan'er didn't hold an umbrella, and her head and shoulders were already wet, but she looked completely unaware.
"Chan'er!" Qu Ran'er hurriedly greeted her.
Chan'er looked up and saw that the person who came was actually her cousin. She immediately greeted her: "Cousin, why are you out?"
Qu Ran'er quickly came to Chan'er, holding an umbrella to protect her from the rain, and wiping the rain from her hair with her hands: "There's nothing in the store, I'll go back and sleep..."
"Oh." Chan'er nodded.
The two of them walked home together under an umbrella, and Qu Raner asked: "Where are the others? Why are you coming back alone?"
Chan'er replied: "Ah, he had too many things to do and couldn't leave, so he asked me to come back first..."
Qu Raner smiled and said: "Yes, today is Mr. An Huai's birthday party. There must be so many guests. It is impossible for him to be unable to leave..."
Chan'er just nodded in agreement and said nothing.
"Tell me about you. Why didn't you hold an umbrella when you came back? Then you'll catch a cold and get sick!" Qu Ran'er said.
Chan'er explained: "It wasn't raining when I came out, but it started raining halfway..."
After hearing this, Qu Ran'er stopped worrying about the topic of umbrellas and asked curiously: "By the way Chan'er, how was the banquet today? Was it lively and grand?"
"It's lively, of course it's lively! You know, the street at Jinyan Tower was so blocked that you couldn't walk..."
Chan'er calmed down and began to tell Qu Ran'er what she saw and heard in the morning, who was there, how many tables were set up, what dishes were served, what wine they drank...
Everything Chan'er knew was explained clearly...
Qu Ran'er made an envious sound while listening. She knew without asking that she really wanted to attend this banquet. Unfortunately, her current status did not allow it and it was not appropriate. She could only listen to it from Chan'er's mouth.
So addicted.
As they talked, the two of them walked to the door of their house.
When Chan'er took out the key and opened the door, Qu Ran'er also put away his umbrella, and the two of them entered the house one after the other.
As soon as the door closed after entering, Qu Ran'er put the umbrella down against the door, and then said: "Chan'er, when the weather gets better in two days, how about we go to the Niangniang Temple together?"
When saying this, Qu Ran'er always had a friendly smile on her face.
"Ah?" Chan'er was stunned and asked, "What are you doing at the Empress Temple?"
Qu Ran'er immediately said: "Look what you're asking, what else can you do at the Empress' Temple? Of course, I pray for the Empress' blessing so that my sister can get pregnant as soon as possible!"
Chan'er understood as soon as she heard that her cousin actually wanted to go to the Empress Temple to pay her respects, but a widow went to the Empress Temple to beg for a son, and if people knew about it, she might say some unpleasant gossip, so she called her
Use yourself as her cover.
Qu Raner's face has been rosy and in a good mood these days, and Chan'er has seen it all. This shows that Bai Yucheng has spent a lot of effort on his cousin. Otherwise, how could Qu Ran'er have proposed to go there so quickly?
How about a trip to the Empress Temple?
"Cousin, the restaurant is so busy, how can you leave? Why don't you spend some time..."
To be honest, Chan'er felt very uncomfortable at the moment. My cousin had just gotten along with her husband for a few days, and she was in a hurry to go to the Empress Temple!
Qu Raner immediately waved her hand and said: "It's okay, I'll hire a faster carriage, and then choose a day to go out early. It won't be a problem to come back before lunch!"
Seeing what her cousin said, Chan'er nodded after hesitation and said: "Okay, cousin, please choose a day. If you choose, tell me in advance so that I can be prepared..."
Qu Ran'er was extremely happy, nodding her head with a smile on her face and patting her chest to show that she was covered.
Then, the two sisters chatted some insignificant gossip in the courtyard, and then went back to their houses separately.
Back in the house, Chan'er changed into wet clothes and lay down on the bed with a lonely expression. She kept looking at the top of the bed blankly, not knowing what was going on in her mind...

Jinyan Building, inside the theater hall.
On the stage, the host said excitedly: "There are currently three tables of contestants left. Who can win this precious purple gemstone depends on the third key question!"
After two rounds of answering questions, there is still one table for An Huai, one table for Sha Er Zidan, and one table for Chai Yan who are still not eliminated!
This round is all arithmetic questions. The first and second questions are mixed operation questions that test arithmetic ability. However, the first question is a three-digit operation, and the second question is a four-digit operation. The difficulty is
A little bit improved.
An Huai and Sha Er Zidan were able to successfully advance to the table, mostly thanks to the tribesmen with good mental arithmetic skills around them, otherwise Chai Yan would have won the amethyst on the table with his absolute advantage!
Guan Maochun said dissatisfied: "Sir, did you notice that the guy who was knocking the gong just now was about to knock it down for the third time. But when he saw the people at An Huai's table passing by, he stopped for a moment, until
After the answers were handed in, he struck the gong..."
Chai Yan said calmly: "There's nothing to complain about. After all, it's manual timing, and we're of the same race. It's normal to raise one hand at critical times!"
Yuanyuan nodded in agreement, and then reminded the three of them: "Here we go, there's a question..."
