Chapter 208 I’m going too
Ah Da, hearing him urging her, picked up the glutinous rice flour and started making wrappers again. The shop assistant, seeing the pile of wrappers already there, couldn't help but yell, "Isn't there some over there? Why are you still making more?!"
How long will it take to finish making it at this rate? If it's not finished soon, he won't be able to sell it for that much money today, and he'll get scolded again!
Ah Er heard the noise from next door, changed his clothes and came over to help. When the waiter saw that the two brothers were both there, he simply had them make double-skin milk.
Because Baiweizhai opened today, there were more people with half a day off, so they had to make the most of their remaining half day to sell their goods.
When Qian San'er returned from Baiweizhai, more than half of the double-skin milk pudding had already been sold. Because the previous one tasted bitter, he picked up a bowl of the newly made one and tried it.
The food was still a little warm when it entered the mouth, but the bitter taste was gone. Seeing that quite a few people were coming and going, he asked Ah Da and Ah Er to make some more to replenish the food.
At Baiweizhai, Wen Luozhi was still thinking about whether to clear out the third floor and sell some other things.
The original plan was to use the first floor for dining and the second and third floors for other food, but it seems that this won't work now.
We need to reserve some private rooms on the second floor, in case someone, like Jiang Zhaochuan, needs to do something at home, the main hall can also be used.
As for the third floor, apart from the two lounges, there are many empty spaces.
If the number of people decreases after the three-day half-price promotion ends, she will need to rethink what to do with the money. If the number of people is not small, then she can continue to use the money to entertain guests.
With only half a month left until Jiang Zhaochuan's birthday, she pulled out a large stack of recipes from her backpack, and after making a few selections, she started planning.
Once the process was finalized, the area outside became lively again as everyone prepared for the afternoon's business.
There were even more people in the afternoon than in the morning, and the kitchen staff were so busy that their feet barely touched the ground while cooking, and the spatulas were practically smoking from being swung around.
Today the store closed half an hour later than yesterday, and Wen Zizhou was completely exhausted and had no strength left.
He's been running up and down the stairs all day, his mouth never stopped, and now he's like a weak, exhausted shrimp that can't even speak.
Xie He felt sorry for her daughter, so she made her sit there to pay the bill in the afternoon. At this moment, her daughter was the only one with relatively good spirits.
She didn't even need an abacus; she just took a charcoal pencil, wrote a long string on a piece of paper, and calculated it in no time.
Wen Zizhou kept his eyes fixed on her paper, his eyes growing brighter the more he looked at it.
Seeing her stop writing, he rushed over and sat down next to her. "Little sister, you... you figured it out?!"
“Yes! I made a net profit of four hundred and twenty-one taels today,” she said with a smile to everyone.
Xie He patted her chest. She had just seen her daughter frown and thought that even though there were many people today, they had earned less than yesterday!
Wen Zizhou leaned closer with a fawning smile, "Little sister, could you teach your third brother that method you just used?"
He picked up the piece of paper and looked at it from left to right like it was a treasure, only to find that he couldn't understand what was written on it at all, which made him even more eager to learn.
Wen Luozhi put the silver into the box and teased him, "Third Brother has to pay money to learn things from me, hmph."
Wen Zizhou tucked the paper into his pocket and then took out his money pouch and pushed it in front of her. "Give it to me! All of Third Brother's money is yours!"
Wen Luozhi was surprised that he actually gave her some. She opened her money pouch, symbolically took out a small piece of silver, and handed the rest to Xie He.
"Mother, the rest is for you."
Wen Zizhou suddenly looked heartbroken; once the money was in his mother's pocket, there was no way he could get a single penny back.
Xie Hexiao pretended not to see his expression, and with a smile, stuffed the silver into her sleeve, giving Wen Zizhou a slightly more friendly look.
The third son still cares about his sister after all; now he knows not to take advantage of her for nothing.
She would never really want that money; she would save it up to get her third son a wife!
Otherwise, given his habit of spending whatever he earns, he'll never get married in his lifetime.
Wen Luozhi handed the charcoal pencil to Wen Zizhou and nagged him, "This is not easy to learn. Whether you can master it depends on whether you can persevere, Third Brother."
She hadn't taught him because she thought it was too troublesome and difficult, but she forgot that Wen Zizhou was particularly enthusiastic about accounting and would actually take the initiative to ask to learn.
Wen Zizhou patted his chest and said confidently, "Sister, just teach me, and your third brother will definitely learn it."
Xie He was relieved. She had wanted to scold him earlier because his clothes weren't straight, but she decided against it.
The horses seemed to be getting impatient outside and kept making noises. Wen Luozhi, Wen Zian, and Sun Erlang rested for a while and then went home.
After boarding the carriage, Xie He repeatedly reminded the two men, "Fourth brother, watch your step and make sure my daughter doesn't fall."
"Erlang, you too, keep an eye on your sister Luozhi for your aunt. I'll fry some sugar cakes for you tomorrow."
The two men responded repeatedly. Their mother/aunt had said this three times since they left the house, and they had memorized it by heart.
Even if she didn't say it, the two of them would still protect their younger sister/older sister Luo Zhi.
With Xie He's consent, the carriages finally set off, and she looked at them with a touch of reluctance.
She watched over her every day, but she was still worried. In the past two days, she had seen quite a few young men crowding around her daughter in the restaurant.
"Mother, don't worry, Fourth Brother and Second Brother know what they're doing."
Wen Zixun pulled her into the house and comforted her for a few words. After packing his things, he went back to the courtyard.
He wanted to go back with his sister today, but seeing how busy the restaurant was, he had to get up early tomorrow to train those people.
The sooner they learn, the sooner they can be brought here to help at the restaurant.
As the three of them arrived at the village entrance, a white figure darted into the carriage.
"Waaaaah, why are you only just getting back?! Next time, take me with you! This village is so boring!"
After Lang Batian rushed in, he frantically tugged at Wen Luozhi's skirt, his voice sounding aggrieved.
Wen Zi'an grabbed it by the scruff of its neck and pulled it away from Wen Luozhi, warning it fiercely, "Stay away from my sister, or I'll beat you up."
This dog loves to follow his sister around all day long; no wonder people call him a lackey!
What's worse, sometimes they even push him! Then he'll be even more unwilling to accept that.
Wolf Overlord bared its teeth, looking even more ferocious than the dog. It stuck out its rear, wagged its tail a few times, and whimpered, "Who do you think you are? I'm going to stand next to your sister!"
However, Wen Zi'an only knew that it was angry.
Wolf Overlord jumped over him and darted to Wen Luozhi, but this time he didn't try to grab her skirt.
It gently placed the wolf's head on her lap, its two glowing wolf eyes staring at her without blinking.
Wen Luozhi rarely saw it so well-behaved, so she patted its wolf head and praised it, "Not bad, you didn't eat so much meat for nothing, you even knew to come and pick me up."
Wolf Overlord wagged his tail obsequiously, "Of course! I heard the commotion from my house."
Wen Luozhi praised its prowess, and the two, one human and one wolf, seemed to get along extremely well.
Wen Zi'an was pushed to the very edge by Lang Batian. As soon as he opened his mouth, Lang Batian turned around and bared his teeth at him.
When she turned to face Wen Luozhi, she became incredibly well-behaved.
