Seeing Liu Qin approaching again, Lin Fufu subconsciously took a step aside, but Liu Qin didn't seem to notice, and continued: "I went to take a look yesterday and saw that the grocery store's business is still very good, but It's not a good business in a tailor's shop. You might as well stop being in the tailor's business and do something else."
"Don't underestimate the clothing store. Although it doesn't look like a mountain dew, food, clothing, housing and transportation are second. This is a business that can make money." Lin Fufu rejected his proposal.
Liu Qin paused, but Lin Fufu kept walking.
Liu Qin looked at Lin Fufu's back, smiled wryly and shook his head, "This little girl really can't change her attitude of not bumping into the south wall and not looking back."
There are more guests coming for the meal at noon on New Year's Eve, and many of them are repeat customers, because if you want to eat hot pot again, you will only have to wait until the next year.
Lin Fufu took a look at the grocery store and the ready-to-wear store in his spare time, and the business was pretty good.
Just as Lin Fufu was about to leave the grocery store, her newly hired shopkeeper came out from behind the counter and called out to her.
"Boss, boss, don't leave in a hurry." The old shopkeeper looked at Lin Fufu and said anxiously.
Lin Fufu stopped, and asked with a smile: "Dong Han, what's the matter with you calling me?"
"Boss, I was about to quit this job with you." Han Dongjia looked at Lin Fufu with some embarrassment.
Lin Fufu was taken aback.
The old shopkeeper Han is from Qinglian County. He used to be the second shopkeeper in a large shop in the provincial capital. After returning to his hometown, he couldn't stay idle. When she found Chang Ning, Chang Ning introduced her to her.
Lin Fufu was also very relieved of the introduction from his acquaintance, and the salary he gave was not a lot, five taels of silver a month, and he also promised that if the business was good, there would be a bonus at the end of the year.
So Lin Fufu couldn't figure out why old shopkeeper Han wanted to quit this job.
"Why?" Lin Fufu asked.
She opened several shops in a row, and the manpower was not enough, especially the shopkeepers with good ethics were not easy to find.
"Boss, let me tell you the truth. Didn't you offend Mr. Jiang San when your restaurant just opened? That person can't be offended. The little old man has heard the rumors. You, let's look for it." Why don't you spend some money to buy something safe." The shopkeeper Han looked around and no one was paying attention, so he pulled Lin Fufu to the corner and whispered.
After saying this, Lin Fufu understood that the shopkeeper Han Da was avoiding disaster.
But this also implies a message to her, Jiang San still won't let her go to Liu Ji Restaurant.
Lin Fufu's eyes turned cold, and then he asked the shopkeeper Han Da in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, our Liuji Restaurant didn't offend Mr. Jiang, why did you hate going to our Liuji Restaurant?" After a pause, he said: " The last time he came to open for business, we also entertained him with good wine and good food. When the third son of Jiang left, he also said that he would come to Liuji Restaurant in the future to support him, and many old customers present have heard this."
Shopkeeper Han Da saw Lin Fu asking such a question, and he couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart. Seeing that although she had earned a lot of money these days, she still respected the big shopkeepers, and wanted to give her some advice.
It turned out that the shopkeeper Han and the Jiang family were somewhat related, and he had already received the news from Jiang San that he was no longer allowed to be the big shopkeeper on Lin Fufu's side. The salary of five taels of silver and the year-end bonus, but the Jiang family still has few people in Qinglian County who dare to mess with it, and he can't do anything about it.
"Boss, you are young and don't know the ways of the world. You are foreigners. Before you came to Qinglian County to do business, you should take some money to take care of those officials." The shopkeeper Han looked regretfully. Gospel of Lin.
Only then did Lin Fufu understand.
It's not that Jiang San wants to punish her Liuji Restaurant and her, it's clearly Jiang County Cheng's old fox who wants to punish her.
It's because she didn't take the money to deal with the people in the county government. Now that the businesses in her family's shops are doing well, she wants to beat her up.
Although the old shopkeeper Han resigned, he actually used the old shopkeeper Han to deliver a letter to her, which can be regarded as beating her and Liu Qin, who just sent lucky money to the old men in the county government.
Lin Fufu figured this out and sneered in his heart.
She didn't intend to give this lucky money.
If Jiang Xiancheng and his gang want to trouble her, then they should do so.
If she can't even deal with a bunch of small seventh-rank sesame officials, how can this business be big
If this official wants to give money, and that official also wants to give money, her business will be busy for those officials.
Of course, it may be given away in the future, but it is definitely not given to those seventh-rank sesame officials who do not do good deeds and only want to make money.
She is not used to their stinky habits!
Of course, they don't give money, but they can also give something else to keep their mouths shut.
She had thought about these things long ago, and she had already made this gift, and put it in the back warehouse of the restaurant.
However, the shopkeeper Han can't stay anymore. Although Lin Fufu doesn't blame him for going away separately, for a big shopkeeper who doesn't trust her at all, it's better to leave earlier.
"Boss shopkeeper, since you are leaving, the Gospel will not keep you. After all, everyone has their own ambitions." Lin Fufu raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at shopkeeper Han Da, "Today is New Year's Eve , although the big shopkeeper has only worked for less than three days, I will still pay you according to one month's wages. Because the business has been very good these few days, then I will give a bonus of twenty taels of silver to the big shopkeeper The shopkeeper."
After three days of doing it, I got twenty-five taels of silver. Even though the shopkeeper Han Da was older and more calm and sophisticated, he still smiled and squinted his old eyes.
He thanked Lin Fufu repeatedly, but he was still a little disappointed.
Because Lin Fufu didn't reveal to him that he was going to send money to the government office.
It was time for the restaurant to close, so Lin Fen sent someone to inform Lin Fufu, and Lin Fufu informed the grocery store that it was also closed.
He personally took the money to the shopkeeper Han Da, and personally sent the shopkeeper Han Da who had packed up earlier out of the shop. Lin Fufu went to the garment shop again, and paid the salary and dividends of the shopkeeper Cao Da at the tailor shop. sent.
Same as shopkeeper Han Da's, it's also twenty-five taels of silver.
Although shopkeeper Cao Da is only in his forties, he is much calmer than shopkeeper Han Da. Although he is happy that he has earned twenty-five taels for just two and a half days, there is no sign of joy on his face.
I just sincerely thanked Lin Fufu and expressed my loyalty, and I will definitely do a good job in the future.
This is what Lin Fufu wanted.
After returning to the restaurant again, Lin Fen and Liu Qin were checking accounts.
"How's the accounting?" Lin Fufu asked.
"It's all right." Lin Fen smiled and looked up at Lin Fufu.
"Stop it, we're going to eat now, the carriage is ready. After we finish eating, we'll take stock of the rest." Lin Fufu greeted.
Liu Qin stopped fiddling with the abacus as soon as he heard it, and walked out of the counter with a smile.
Lin Fufu just looked at him and smiled, and said, "Hey, brother Liu, it's hard work that you can't have lunch yet."
"Why?" Liu Qin was amazed, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Fufu in surprise.
"Go and send the New Year's gifts to the officials and lords in the county. Wouldn't it be more sincere for you to send them here without lunch?" Lin Fufu laughed.
My heart is extremely tired.
"Give gifts to the official?" Lin Fen frowned when he heard that, and said with a somewhat unsightly expression: "Then you have to give money to the old and the young, right?"
Liu Qin snorted coldly, "One thousand taels is not too much for a family, and ten thousand taels is not too much. You can give as much as you want, right?"
A family of 10,000 taels of silver is not much? Lin Fufu's eyes flickered. Isn't the family of these officials and masters in Qinglian County extremely rich
Lin Fufu also wanted to know how other merchants gave gifts, so he asked, "How much does Chang Ning's family give to those officials every year?"
The corners of Liu Qin's lips curled into a sarcastic arc, and he said with a sneer, "The Chinese New Year is the biggest festival, and if the family doesn't give away five or six thousand taels of silver, I'm ashamed to make a move."
"Five or six thousand taels of silver for a family? Well... then if we follow suit, then... our two and a half days will be for nothing!" Lin Fen's little face turned red with anger.
It's really not an exaggeration, in a county that is at the seventh rank, there are at least two junior officials from the seventh rank. These two must be given away. There are also a few small officials of the eighth rank and the ninth rank, so they have to give gifts, and it really took two and a half days for nothing.
Liu Qin's expression was not good either.
He glanced at Lin Fufu, hesitated to speak.
Originally, he thought that Lin Gospel's character would not give gifts to those corrupt officials.
But now it seems that he still doesn't know her very well.
But Liu Qin also knew in his heart that Lin Fufu couldn't be blamed for this. As a little girl, she went on for business, and it was not easy to think of giving gifts to those officials.
"Okay, take care of it, I'll go right away. The money will be taken from the account at the restaurant." Liu Qin pondered for a while, then raised his head to look at Lin Fufu, this time his expression was unusually calm and serious.
Lin Fufu nodded, "Of course it has to be taken from the account of the restaurant. However, it's not much. It's only two or three hundred taels of silver in total."
Hearing Lin Fufu said that the total was only two or three hundred taels of silver, and Lin Fen paid it back, Liu Qin almost choked to death on his own spit.
"What? What did you say, Gospel, you heard what I said just now, do you think you can do it with a total of two or three hundred taels of silver? of."
But Lin Fufu said confidently: "Don't worry, Brother Liu. I know it very well." Then he turned to face Xiao Feng who was waiting for orders, and said, "Xiao Feng, go to the warehouse and get the iron sheet that my predecessor brought back. Bring the box over."
Xiao Feng went immediately.
Both Liu Qin and Lin Fen looked at Lin Fufu, wondering what kind of medicine Lin Fufu was selling in this gourd.
"Gospel, what are you?" Lin Fen couldn't help asking.
"I'll find out later." Lin Fufu pressed his hand towards Lin Fen, signaling her to be calm.
"Girl, here it is." Xiao Feng quickly came over with a three-foot-square tin box.
Lin Fen and Liu Qin's eyes were glued to the tin box.
