It’s okay to always scold people, but the wages are still low. Each person only gets 300 cash per month, which does not include food or housing. When the wages are paid, they are either delayed for several days and a half, or there are various deductions, but they are not as much as the earnings of carrying sacks. Therefore, many people cannot continue.

Throughout the year, there are several groups of waiters in the store.

Originally, He Shanhu was planning to fire one of them. After all, the business in the store was not good and he could not afford to pay wages.

Fortunately, He Chuwei stopped him, otherwise he would have been too busy today.

"The shopkeeper, what is this?"

The two waiters looked at the pieces of silver in their hands and asked in confusion.

"Reward you, remember, don't say anything you shouldn't say. If my grandfather comes to check the accounts, or asks about the business in your store, just say that you don't know anything. Do you understand?"

He Chuwei is going to make a fake account book.

Although his grandfather gave him the business of running the shop.

But after a while, my grandfather would check the accounts himself.

He wrote down the purchase price of new candles at one hundred and eighty cents each.

Only about a hundred sticks can be sold every day.

The rest of the money is all his!

"Yes, shopkeeper, I understand." The two understood, and one of them immediately poured a glass of hot water for He Chuwei flatteringly.

It's not too hot. After all, the water was boiled half an hour ago.

Warm at best.

"Now, I'll give you another tael of silver to buy some tea and put it in the shop. From now on, every morning when I come to the shop, I'll make a pot of tea. I drink this tasteless water every day, and there's always a bird in my mouth. coming."

He Chuwei looked at the white water in the cup with disgust and did not drink it.

He put the whole silver into his purse, stuffed it into his sleeves, and hid the broken silver and copper plates in the cabinet in the backyard of the shop, and locked them up.

Then he left the shop and prepared to go home.

The two waiters watched him leave and closed the shop door.

gone.

The first thing He Chuwei did when he got home was to put the money back into his house and hide it.

Then go to the main room to eat.

"Chu Wei, how is the business of the shop today?" He Shanhu didn't go out all day. He picked up a piece of meat and chewed it deliciously.

When speaking, there was some slurring.

"It's not bad, Grandpa." On the first day of selling, He Chuwei didn't plan to tell his family that he bought new candles.

Otherwise they would definitely come to the shop from time to time.

By then it will be difficult to fake accounts.

"Is this okay? I passed by the shop today. Dad, you won't believe it. The shop was so crowded. It was packed with people. If my friend hadn't dragged me to gamble, ahem, I had something to do. I would have rushed there. Go into the shop and ask Chu Wei how he did it!"

Just as He Shanhu was about to praise him, He Wanjiang came back from outside in a hurry.

He sat down on the bench and told all about the grand occasion of the shop today.

He Chuwei's heart skipped a beat.

His father never cared about the shop, so why was it such a coincidence that he passed by the shop today?

"What? The business of the shop is so good? Chu Wei, what did you do?" Although his son was unreliable, he never told lies. He Shanhu believed He Wanjiang's words to the letter, and he put down his chopsticks. , couldn’t wait to ask his grandson.

"I didn't do anything. I just bought a new batch of candles in the shop, which can burn for ten days. I was afraid that it would be difficult to sell the goods, so I didn't dare to tell you that I have taken care of these candles. The purchaser only works with I cooperate alone, and I will be the only one in Shu County who can sell from now on. I bought firecrackers early this morning and set them off outside the shop, which attracted a lot of people, but it was not as exaggerated as my father said. Most of the people entered the shop, Just looking at it, only 30% of the people who buy it will buy it.”

He Chuwei deliberately misrepresented the business.

But He Shanhu was still very happy.

"There are such candles? Yes, yes, Chu Wei, you just took over the shop and your business has picked up. I really saw you right. You are much better than your father. The He family has you, so they don't have to worry about the future. Haha, by the way, what is the purchase price of candles and how much is the sale price? How many candles were sold today?"

He Shanhu laughed heartily, and the previous depression was instantly swept away.

He picked up the chopsticks again, picked up the pieces of meat and stuffed them into his mouth. He was in a good mood, and the meat tasted even more delicious.

"The purchase price was one hundred and eighty cents a piece, the sale price was two hundred cents, and one hundred pieces were sold today."

He Chuwei made random nonsense.

"That's a net profit of two taels? Yes, yes, you are much better than my grandfather. When I was running the shop at its best, I could only make a net profit of one or two and a half in a day. I didn't earn back this family business overnight, you When Dad was only three or four years old, your great-grandfather was still alive. At that time, our shop was still rented. After deducting various costs, we could only earn up to 200 pence a day.

Your great-grandmother fell ill again, and all the money she earned was spent on medical treatment. After they both passed away, your grandfather and I took over the shop, and the business got better. It took four years, and I took your father and your grandmother to move from the first courtyard to the store. Come to the current house. It cost a total of eight hundred taels to buy this house and repair it! Then I bought a shop, a field, and built such a big family fortune. If it hadn't been for your father, who was so insignificant, our family wouldn't have fallen into what it is now!

Fortunately, God cannot bear to destroy my He family. My grandfather has such a good grandson like you, so he doesn’t have to worry about the future! Haha, two taels a day, that’s sixty taels in a month. The shop is our own, and the wages of the two waiters can be ignored. We can get at least 700 taels a year. In a few years, our family can Restored to its former glory! "

He Shanhu laughed at first, and then recalled the past. His eyes were filled with sadness when he thought of his dead parents, and then he thought of his useless son. He became angry and cursed. Finally, he looked at his upbeat grandson with a look of relief on his face.

My mood was full of ups and downs.

"Dad, why are you scolding me again? I haven't done anything today. People asked me to gamble, but I didn't even go."

He Wanjiang curled his lips.

He didn't go. He lost all his money and even had no money for food. It could be said that he was penniless.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be back in time for dinner.

As for the gambling money, it was still the money obtained from stealing Liu's jewelry and selling it.

Mrs. Liu had a dark face the whole time and sat at the table to eat.

He said nothing, but occasionally glanced at He Chuwei.

No one found it.

"Why, you don't have money to gamble and you still want me to praise you? You are almost a grandfather, and you still do nothing serious all day long. It's your mother who spoiled you! By the way, Mrs. Wan, Is there any news in your stomach?"

He Shanhu looked at Wan's belly, which was extremely flat.

There was an anxious look on his face.

We've been married for so long, why can't we even conceive an egg?

"Not yet..." Wanshi paused.

She put down the rice bowl in her hand and whispered back.

The voice was shaky.
