Today is the third day of the launch of the Tianshangju gift box. Everyone who got the news rushed to buy it. Ye Jiayao's original three-day stock of 300 boxes was sold out in less than half a day. Those who didn't buy it paid a deposit. Pre-order for tomorrow.
Ye Jiayao calculated the accounts and found that today's net profit for the day was two thousand three hundred taels, and the sales momentum will be stronger in the future. Tomorrow's reservation alone has exceeded today's number.
Ye Jiayao was very pleased. In ancient times, the New Year was the off-season for restaurants, and every household celebrated the New Year at home. This was a tradition. The ancients valued tradition the most, and they had to prepare carefully for every festival. Unlike modern times, everyone is too lazy to cook. They go to the hotel for dinner, eat well, sing karaoke and play cards, leisurely. Therefore, the launch of the gift box can make up for the losses caused by the off-season to a certain extent. You know, they still owe 800,000 taels of silver.
"Second Young Mistress, we received another order for twenty boxes." Jiang Yue ran in happily holding an order.
"It seems that we have to make five hundred boxes tomorrow." Jiang Yue said.
But Ye Jiayao was worried: "We make pastries, it doesn't matter how much we make, we're just afraid that the jewelry store won't be able to supply them."
"Ask Manager Zhao to urge them to work overtime and make as much as they can, but one thing is that the quality must be guaranteed." Ye Jiayao ordered that those who can afford the gift boxes are rich people. They are not afraid of the price, as long as They feel they get their money's worth.
"Yeah!" Jiang Yue's clear eyes shone with excitement. She was already very happy after selling more than 20 boxes on the first day. On the second day, she sold more than 70 boxes. She almost screamed with joy. As a result, there was a big explosion today. Such a small cake shop was like a cornucopia. The key was that she also participated in the planning of this gift box set, which made her feel very proud.
Isn't it a bit unpromising? Such a small achievement made her very happy, but the second young lady can make a sensation in the whole city just by thinking of an idea. She still has a lot to learn!
After Jiang Yue left, Ye Jiayao fiddled with the abacus and recalculated the accounts she had just calculated. She fiddled with the abacus slowly, but she couldn't concentrate. She made several mistakes and started over again. She did this over and over again. Calculate, making yourself look very busy.
When Jiang Yue came back, Ye Jiayao was still calculating, and there were discrepancies in the data calculated every time.
"Second Young Mistress, it's time for us to go back home." Jiang Yue looked at the sky and saw that the Marquis would be back today. He would be back in time to catch up with the Crown Prince on duty.
"The accounts haven't reconciled yet, I'll do the calculation again." Ye Jiayao said calmly.
"It doesn't matter! Second Young Mistress, you have done the calculation several times." Jiang Yue muttered, even though she knew that the Crown Prince was coming back today, she was still settling the scores. Which is more important, the settling of accounts or the Crown Prince
Ye Jiayao sighed silently, moved the abacus away, and closed the account book. What needs to be faced must be faced.
When Ye Jiayao returned home, Qiao Xi said, "The prince is back. He changed his clothes and went to the madam's place. I asked the second young lady to come over when she comes back."
Ye Jiayao nodded, her expression was as usual, and she could not see any mood swings. She went into the room to wash up and change clothes.
Since the incident that night, today's dinner was the most crowded one. Even Liuli and Chunfeng, who rarely showed up, were here. The two would occasionally meet their eyes and smile lightly. It seemed like things were going well. Mrs. Qiao became more and more careful to please Mrs. You, who also showed a gentle smile that she had not seen for a long time. On the other hand, she and Chunyu had no communication during the whole process. Several times, she felt his eyes falling on her. When she looked up, But she found that the other person was concentrating on eating with his eyebrows lowered. It turned out to be her illusion.
I felt inexplicably disappointed.
After dinner, the Marquis called his three sons to the study. The female relatives moved around to drink tea and talk.
"The day after tomorrow is the Laba Festival. In previous years, Mingxiu helped take care of the sacrifices. This year, there are two more people in the family, and the third uncle's family is also here. This time the sacrifices will be more grand. Jinxuan, what are you doing outside? Put it aside, sacrificing ancestors is a top priority, you should follow Mingxiu and learn from it." Youshi said warmly.
"Yes." Ye Jiayao agreed meekly.
"Mother, what should I do?" Liuli asked.
Youshi said harmoniously: "Normally you should also learn. When you go to the fiefdom in the future, you will have to take care of all the affairs by yourself."
Liuli showed rare courtesy: "Then I will follow my sister-in-law's lead."
Youshi nodded with satisfaction: "That's good."
Then Liuli talked about the grand ceremony of the sacrifices in the palace. Ye Jiayao sat there quietly, but couldn't listen to a word. Her mind had already turned to another person.
There is no winning or losing in love, only you give in and I give in. And this time, Chunyu is so strong, why do you have to force her so much, isn't it good for each other to understand each other tacitly? Do you care so much about just one sentence
She didn't know when the conversation ended, but when she saw Qiao and Liuli getting up to leave, she followed suit.
When going out, Liuli deliberately stayed two steps behind to wait for Ye Jiayao.
"Look, you are in a bad mood today! What? Did you have a quarrel? Oh, it's not the second brother who really believed those words, right? In fact, it's not the second brother's fault. You are so popular, the second brother will definitely be nervous. !" Liuli chuckled, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
This was really an unexpected gain. Unexpectedly, Chunfeng was kind to her, but Chunyu had a quarrel with the man named Ye. Liuli was happy just thinking about it.
Ye Jiayao glanced at her lightly and left without saying a word.
"Hey, second sister-in-law, do you want me to ask Chunfeng to explain to the second brother?" Liuli said loudly from behind. You can hear the gloating smile in those words.
Jiang Yue turned her head and glared at Liuli, muttering: "These three young ladies are too hateful."
"Don't care what she does." Ye Jiayao sneered. She is a villain, and getting angry with a villain is just to get in trouble with herself.
Xia Chunyu came back after a long time. As soon as he came back, he got into the clean room. Qiao Xi wanted to follow him to wait on him, but he coldly refused.
Qiao Xi looked at the second young mistress worriedly, but she couldn't go on like this. I heard that Aunt Gui was brought in by Madam and the Marquis when they were angry.
Ye Jiayao whispered: "You should step back first!"
Not long after, Xia Chunyu came out. Ye Jiayao stepped forward to undress him. He turned around to avoid her hand and went to open the cabinet. It turned out that the cabinet was empty. Ye Jiayao didn't know when the quilt inside disappeared. , I believe it was either Jiang Yue or Qiao Xi who did it.
Xia Chunyu saw two quilts on the bed, so he took one and went straight to the study.
Ye Jiayao followed: "Chunyu, do you think this is interesting?"
She had thought of many opening lines, and this one was undoubtedly the worst.
Xia Chunyu had no expression on his face, said nothing, and made his own bed.
Seeing his attitude of rejecting others, Ye Jiayao had endured the grievances for many days. Hesitation and melancholy came to her head, and she forgot all the drafts she had made.
"It's such a big deal, are you like this? Am I so heinous? If you don't want to see me or be with me, just say something and I'll leave immediately."
Xia Chunyu didn't even raise his eyelids and just treated her like air.
This kind of silent sulking is the most troublesome thing. If you want to argue, just argue, if you want to scold, just scold, and just vent to your heart's content, that's fine.
"If you don't tell me, I'll take it as your acquiescence!" Ye Jiayao said.
The other party still didn't respond.
"Hey, what will happen if you say something?"
"Xia Chunyu, you are simply a stupid donkey, so stupid that there is no cure." Ye Jiayao said harshly, turned around and left.
Doesn't he know her thoughts clearly? If she didn't like him, why would she marry him so quickly? With that little money, she could earn it in minutes, so who would care? She worked tirelessly outside, but she worked hard and cautiously at home, trying to please this one and offend that one, for what? It's a contract marriage, who can do it like her? Doesn't he care
Hearing the sound of her leaving footsteps, Xia Chunyu looked up and saw that she had no intention of going out, so he lay down again with peace of mind.
In fact, his heart had already softened, but he was the one who provoked these cruel words. As long as she could say something nice, the matter would be over. He had always been the one coaxing her, so what if it was her who coaxed him once? Wasn't she quite good at coaxing people before? Now he is riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off. There is no step for him to get off.
His eyes suddenly fell into darkness. The woman actually turned off the lights and went to bed. Xia Chunyu was extremely depressed.
Ye Jiayao was so worried that he took the quilt away from the bed. He also forgot to tell Qiao Xi to get a soup. She was shivering from the cold. Damn it, take the quilt back.
Ye Jiayao did what she thought of, got out of bed shaking, and lit the oil lamp.
Xia Chunyu quickly closed his eyes and listened for the sound. When he heard her walking towards the study, he felt a little nervous.
Just tell him, just ask him to go back, and he will get off the donkey.
Unexpectedly, what awaited me was a chill on my body and the quilt was snatched away.
Ye Jiayao walked back holding the quilt.
Xia Chunyu was stunned and sat up with a huff. Did this woman want to freeze him to death
Xia Chunyu jumped out of bed, took off his shoes randomly, and chased after him.
"Give me back the quilt."
Ye Jiayao pouted and raised her neck: "This is mine."
"Yours? Is your name written on it?" Xia Chunyu pulled the corner of the quilt.
Ye Jiayao pulled the corner he was holding with all her strength: "It's mine even if I don't write my name on it."
Then he wrapped himself in the quilt and lay down on the bed: "If you want the quilt, go find Qiao Xi and steal my quilt, please excuse me."
Xia Chunyu was stunned for a moment, then climbed onto the bed, pulled out the quilt from under her body and covered himself with it. He snorted coldly: "Ask Qiao Xi for it. To put it nicely, you must have asked someone to hide the quilt."
Ye Jiayao brought it back again: "Don't be so sentimental. I don't have the time to do such boring things."
He pulled it over again: "Just deny it! You're such a tough talker."
"You are the one who is so tough-talking, you heartless person. You left me alone and ignored me. If you are tired of me, just say so. Why do you need to use such an excuse to hold on? Why don't you let me? I think clearly, I can't think more clearly, you men don't have any good things..." Ye Jiayao cursed, tears falling down.
