Chapter 207 You Become the Shopkeeper
"No matter what it is, as long as Master Bai opens his mouth, I am willing to do it even if it means going through fire and water."
Jiang Lingu was hit by a surprise.
How could I bear to let this opportunity go?
He showed his loyalty.
Zhou Gaier also nodded repeatedly.
Bai Qianshan put down the bun.
Look at them with satisfaction.
"You have to go back to the village and bring me a batch of bamboo tubes. You have to monopolize the ones used by the Jiang family snack shop and not let the villagers sell them to them. Secondly, you have to make the same food that Zhang and his family made, such as meat patties, green bean soup, barbecue, and that damn cold noodles.
You must take care of all four of these things. You are in charge of the front of the shop, and your wife will listen to my wife about the backyard. After all, my wife can't handle it alone. I don't want her to be tired, and I really don't have the time, so the shop is left to you. Every ten days, you have to come to my house with the account book to report. Can you do it?"
Bai Qianshan just wants to stay at home and play with the birds and take a nap every day.
He didn't want to get up early in the morning under the scorching sun to work in the shop.
But he was still worried about handing the shop over to Mrs. Wan.
But there is not even a servant in the house.
He had no one available.
It just so happened that he knew that the accountant in front of him was a sworn enemy of the Jiang family, but they were from the same village and were of the same clan. The food they made would definitely be better than the food made by the people he hired, and it would be easier to use. After all, he had done them a favor.
Gave them a job.
Just a little bit of sweetness will make the person on the other side work for him.
He is the accountant, purchasing officer, shopkeeper and waiter, plus his wife cooks in the backyard.
The two of them only earned one tael of silver per month.
It’s really a good deal.
Wan Zhen instantly understood Bai Qianshan's plan.
The two have been sleeping in the same bed for so many years.
It can be said.
Bai Qianshan is talking nonsense.
Wan Zhen knew what he had eaten in the evening just by smelling it.
So she didn't say anything.
He just pretended to lower his head to eat the bun, but he was actually listening with his ears perked up.
The shop was filled with the voices of Bai Qianshan and Jiang Lingu.
A quarter of an hour later, several people walked out of the shop.
Leave in the opposite direction.
"Boss, are they reliable?" Wan Zhen asked uncertainly.
After all, we just met.
Just let him be the shopkeeper and be responsible for the accounts. What if he turns out to be a scammer?
"Don't worry, Zhang has beaten that woman so badly, it's obvious that they have a deep hatred for us. We can be assured of using people like this, and they won't betray us. Looking at their poor appearance, we know they have no money in their pockets. We are doing them a favor, and they may not even have time to thank us. Besides, how can you and I run a shop?
I've never been a shopkeeper, and I don't know how to keep accounts. Your cooking is average, it's ok to eat at home, but if you sell it... don't blame me for hurting you, I'm afraid even dogs won't buy it. Ahem, anyway, I think this is feasible. Now that you have the seasoning, you keep it well. From now on, when this Zhou cooks food, you will be responsible for adding the seasoning, and don't let her touch it."
Bai Qianshan saw his wife's face fall.
He quickly coughed twice and changed the subject.
Start to give instructions.
"Seasonings are the most important. I can only feel at ease if you are in charge. Also, if I ask them to buy out all the bamboo tubes in the village, the Zhang family will have no bamboo tubes to use, and the mung bean soup will naturally be difficult to sell.
As for the meat patties, they are all from the same village, so they taste almost the same. You can let Zhou do it when the time comes. Don’t get tired. Once we have everything ready, we can send them away.”
Bai Qianshan's eyes were gleaming with brilliance, full of calculations.
"If we drive them away, they have to pay the rent. We just gave them half a tael of silver, and we only have three taels of silver left. How can we afford it?"
After Wan Zhen finished speaking, Bai Qianshan stopped and looked at her.
"What? Three taels? The rent that the Jiang family gave was more than that. Where is the money? Where did it go?"
Although there was meat for every meal at home, they still ate stale rice.
But it's impossible to spend so much money in just a month.
Bai Qianshan thought Wanzhen had hidden the money.
He was furious and furious.
"Ji Zu insisted on pestering me, what can I do? I only have this one son, so I gave him some money. Otherwise, I can drive them away when the lease expires. My family can't afford so much money now, so I'll just wait and there's no rush."
Wan Zhen felt a little guilty.
While speaking, he didn't dare to look at Bai Qianshan.
"You gave him money again? I was wondering, where did this bastard get the money to hang out in a brothel? It turns out that it was you who gave him the money. You, you, you, I really don't know what to say to you. You have spoiled a good son! He is so lazy all day long. I sent him to school to get an education, hoping that he would study hard and pass the examination to become a scholar or a juren.
He was so good, he beat the teacher and scolded the headmaster, and was kicked out on the seventh day. He only knows a few characters now, what future can he have? From now on, I will be in charge of the shop's money. I can't let you spoil your son like this anymore. You are too generous, and we only have this one son. I must teach him a lesson."
Bai Qianshan said sternly.
Wan Zhen was about to retort.
I was scared away by his sharp eyes.
He swallowed all the words in his throat before they could make any sound.
"Just take care of it. You're right. We only have this one son. Every time he calls me mother and cries to me, I soften my heart. So, you take care of the money. If he asks me for it again in the future, I won't be able to give it to him at all. Maybe after a few failures, he will give up and live a good life."
Wanzhen compromised.
Bai Qianshan's mouth curled up into a wicked smile.
But it was fleeting.
It was as if this expression had never appeared before.
The intention to discipline the son is fake, the intention to take over the household is real.
The two of them walked towards home side by side, looking extremely affectionate.
On the other side, Zhou Gaier and Jiang Lingu were also discussing what had just happened.
"Is what Mr. Bai said just now true or false? He doesn't know us at all, so why did he let you be the shopkeeper? There must be some trick in this, right? Should we reconsider it?"
Zhou Gaier was a little worried.
There is no such good thing in the world.
"It's okay. He did have selfish motives in asking me to be the shopkeeper. I'm afraid he has been eyeing the Jiang family snack shop for a long time. We have seen how good their business is. So many people are lining up on such a hot day. When I went in, I observed the menu. It was so expensive. The mung bean soup was more expensive than other shops. And the meat pie, wow.
I don't know how much meat is in it, but it's more expensive than meat buns. I guess it was when we were arguing with Zhang that Mr. Bai took a fancy to us. He thought that we were from the same village and clan as Zhang, so he knew her family. Did you forget that he asked me these questions right away? I guess he must have been hiding in the dark and listening for a long time, but it hit the nail on the head."
Jiang Lingu smiled darkly.
Continue to speak faintly.
"The Jiang family treated us like this, now it's retribution. When Mr. Bai takes back the shop, we will buy all the bamboo tubes. The villagers will only stand on our side. Whoever helps them make money will be the boss."
