(Double update on the second day, don’t the girls come out to make a fuss? It’s not fun to be a deep-water submarine, be careful of A Lan’s bomb!)
As if it happened in an instant, the old restaurant that Gui Linju's family was almost submerged in the long river of time suddenly became famous in the entire city of Shengjing.
The well-known heroic song sung on the opening day also spread throughout the streets and alleys, and the people on the street can hear immature children's voices singing "The Great River Flows East" from time to time.
The exquisite small courtyard behind Guilinju was almost contracted by the famous dignitaries in Shengjing, and the deposit is still increasing day by day. Even if they knew that Guilinju deliberately deceived people, some people were stupid. Those with more money are willing to be cheated.
The lobby in the front yard is not limited to the identity of the diners, and the price is very reasonable. Unfortunately, if you want to come in and taste a meal, you have to book a table a month ago.
Such a shortage of supply, in such a big city of Shengjing, how many people are eagerly looking forward to Guilinju to expand or open a branch, but this Guilinju just stays still, like an old monk who has already entered meditation, and there are daily regulations. The sold noodles are not willing to make an extra table.
Before it was dark, the doors were closed. I don't know how many early adopters in the bustling capital have been shattered by anger.
But even so, Guilinju not only has not been forgotten by people, but has become more and more famous. Some literati and poets who have tasted Guilinju's banquet sighed, "If you visit Kyoto, if you don't eat Guilinju's delicacies, it will be empty." !"
Those who spend a lot of money, spend a lot of money to eat the dishes of Guilinju every day, thinking of getting out of the pit as soon as possible, but before they get tired of eating, they will come out with new dishes, every month Yes, it's not heavy.
Only those rich and powerful gentry were full of tears and couldn't let go.
It is precisely because of the daily diners brought by Gui Linju, an old restaurant hidden in the old west market, that the old west market, which has been deserted for more than ten years, has regained its vitality. After about two months, relying on Guilin Several houses in the house have opened their fronts and started business, which is much more lively than before.
Today is the day when Gui Linju has been open for one full month, and it is also the day when Steward Qin compiles the accounts for Chu Lian.
Early in the morning, Xi Yan, who was serving her personally, was even more anxious than Chu Lian, and just now she poured honey water out of the cup.
Chu Lian saw that it was funny, "Xi Yan, why are you so absent-minded?"
Xiyan simply put down the teapot in her hand, walked up to Chu Lian, took the light purple twig patterned beanie from the little maid's hand and put it on for Chu Lian, "Third Grandma, don't you worry at all, it's Manager Qin who is here to see you off?" day of the ledger."
Chu Lian let Xiyan fasten her belt, stretched out her hand to take a sip of the warm water beside her, nodded and said, "I know, then there is nothing to worry about."
Xiyan tidied up Chu Lian's clothes, feeling very helpless, "Third Grandma, don't you want to know whether you lost or gained in the first month of returning to Linju? If you lose, it will be more than two thousand taels of silver! Yes! You don't feel bad about all your belongings?"
Speaking of this, Xi Yan became even more nervous, this girl, it seemed that the money spent for the home arrangement at the time came out of her pocket.
Chu Lian laughed, "There's nothing to worry about, I know I can earn it back."
ah? Xiyan opened her mouth wide, she couldn't believe it.
"Third grandma, did you really know that you could make money back?"
"Otherwise, what do you think?"
Xi Yan hurriedly shook her head, and immediately shut her mouth, not everyone has the guts to do so.
No one knew better than her that in order to prepare to return to Linju, the third grandma asked Nanny Gui to melt some of her gold jewelry.
More than two thousand taels is not a small amount, even a man who is often in business does not have such courage to gamble his whole family on one thing at once.
Xi Yan was speechless secretly, thinking that her third grandma was really amazing.
In fact, Chu Lian is not as strong as Xi Yan thinks, she just doesn't pay much attention to money, in her eyes, even if the two thousand taels of silver is paid, it doesn't matter, she is still from the Jing'an uncle's mansion The third grandmother is still provided with good food and drink every day, besides, she will not be so bad at doing things, and she will not lose everything.
If Xi Yan knew that the master she adores had such a thought, she would have to roll her eyes speechlessly.
In the afternoon, steward Qin, who was wearing a new navy blue suit, entered the mansion to ask for an audience.
Chu Lian met him in the Flower Hall of Songtao Garden.
Maybe it's because the business is doing well this month, and the food in Guilinju is good. This young steward has gained a lot of weight. His originally thin figure now has a protruding belly, which makes people unable to bear the sight of his forehead. black line.
"Third Grandma, this is Gui Linju's account book from last month." Steward Qin bowed respectfully to Chu Lian, and then held the account book in front of Chu Lian with both hands.
Chu Lian only flipped through two pages, and then put the account book on the table next to him, "Steward Qin, please tell me directly, I will keep this account book, and I will take a closer look at it in a few days."
Guanshi Qin was eager for Chu Lian to ask him this.
He learned to manage a shop from his father since he was a child, and as he got older, he became able to take charge of his own business. Perhaps because of what he had learned from childhood, he was able to revitalize an ordinary shop at the age of fifteen, but now he is in his early twenties, and the family belongs to the Lin family. Living is the most fulfilling industry he has managed over the years.
This made him eager to show Chu Lian his achievements.
When Xiyan heard the number spit out from Guanshi Qin's mouth, she froze, frightened.
Three thousand five hundred and eighty taels!
This is after excluding Guilinju's monthly expenses.
That is to say, Linju's net profit for one month is 3,580 taels!
God!
Even if the more than two thousand taels of silver that Chu Lian spent in Guilin Juli were deducted, there would still be a surplus of one thousand and eight hundred taels!
What a concept!
Xi Yan was completely stunned.
Chu Lian had expected it a long time ago, and was not as shocked as Xi Yan, but even she did not expect that Gui Linju would earn so much income after only one month of operation. She really underestimated the spending power of the people in the prosperous capital.
He asked Guanshi Qin some more things, and after half an hour, Nanny Gui sent Guanshi Qin away.
Chu Lian opened the wooden box containing bank notes left by Manager Qin, counted two of them and gave them to Xi Yan.
"Keep these daily expenses in Songtao Garden. Mother Ma's birthday is coming soon. Take this opportunity to let the people in our yard be happy, and you can use the rest for yourself."
Xi Yan held the counter ticket with a denomination of one hundred taels, still a little in disbelief, "Third Grandma, these are earned by Lin Ju?"
Chu Lian stared at her speechlessly, "Of course, do you want to count everything in this box and see if it's one thousand taels?"
Xiyan quickly shook his head, "I don't count, I believe it's a thousand taels, third grandma, you are too powerful, I still can't believe it, we used to be in the British government, and it would cost a lot more to save a hundred taels of silver." year!"
Chu Lian was stunned, she didn't expect this girl to think about the past at this time, "Okay, don't think about those things anymore, your master is no longer the sixth girl of the British government, but the third daughter of the Jing'an uncle's house." Grandma, the Lord of Jinyi Township proclaimed by the Holy Majesty."
Xi Yan wiped away the tears that flowed out of her eyes, "Yes! Master's life is better now, and it would be even better if the third young master can also be by Master's side."
Xi Yan's words made Chu Lian's face stiffen.
She lived so carefree that she almost forgot that she had a husband who was struggling in the frontier.
I don't know what's wrong with this unlucky snake-sick husband, but I haven't received his letter for a month. Could it be that she was stimulated by her empty drawing paper last time, and my nerves are even more wrong
Chu Lian shook her head, wondering what He Sanlang would do!
It's more important to live your own life.
I remember that Miracle Doctor Miao appeared in Shengjing City around this time in the original book.
Chu Lian blinked her clear eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up happily.
This miracle doctor Miao, with her here, can no longer be taken by Xiao Bojian.
Sometimes people really can't help talking about it, she just thought about why He Sanlang didn't write a letter for so long, and it hasn't been half an hour, Liu Madam next to Mrs He brought her maid to Songtao Garden in person .
Chu Lian got up to greet him.
Nanny Liu was wearing a stone blue velvet cloak, her hair was blown by the wind and a strand of her hair stuck to her face. Judging by her appearance, she clearly came here in a hurry.
"Mommy, sit down and have a rest, drink a cup of hot tea." Chu Lian told Fu Yan to bring tea quickly.
Now that it's October, the weather is getting colder.
Winter in Shengjing City is always cold and dry.
Without waiting for the tea, Mammy Liu cheerfully took out a thick letter from her cuff and handed it to Chu Lian, "Third Grandma, this is written by the Third Young Master himself! Look, such a thick letter seal up!"
Chu Lian opened her mouth slightly in surprise, and received the letter, "Husband... Husband sent the letter back?"
Liu Mama just sat down at this time, and sighed a long time, "No, there are old matriarchs too, and they were sent by the officers and soldiers of the inn just now. It was sealed. Originally, this letter should have been delivered more than half a month ago, but it was delayed for half a month on the road. I heard that the northern border is several times colder than our Shengjing City! The third young master has never been there since he was a child. In the north, I don’t know if I can adapt to the weather there.”
As Mama Liu spoke, her eyes turned red, and tears were about to fall down uncontrollably.
Among the three young masters in Uncle Jing'an's mansion, Nanny Liu has the deepest affection for He Changdi, because Mrs. Uncle Jing'an has been in poor health since He Changdi was born, and Sanlang He was almost raised by his grandmother. The wet nurse is no different.
Chu Lian was taken aback by Mammy Liu's words. The temperature in the northern border dropped sharply, and it snowed in the neighboring border town!
It's so fast!
Chu Lian no longer had the happy mood in the daytime, but frowned tightly.
It was the first time for Liu Momo to see the third grandma's expression, thinking that she had aroused the third grandma's melancholy, she quickly wiped her eyes, pretending to be cheerful and said: "Look, it's not good to be an old slave, third grandma don't worry too much." I think, although the third young master looks tall and thin, he has practiced martial arts with his uncle and elder brother since he was a child, and his body has always been very good. The weather in the north is definitely not a big deal to him. Besides, these situations are just listening to people It's nonsense, it may not be accurate, look, the third young master has sent a letter, the third grandma quickly opened it to see what the third young master wrote."
