Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Mu Yao walked straight to the main seat and sat down. His posture was straight and his voice was cold, "Sit down."

Gu Yan hugged Gu Yu and sat on either side of Mu Yao with Commander Mao, and Xu Zhinian's family sat down one after another.

Cheng Wan poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Mu Yao, "Prince Mu, please."

Mu Yao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Miss Cheng's Suilou is pretty good."

Cheng Wan just placed another cup of tea in front of Sheriff Mao. Hearing this, he chuckled and said, "Thank you, Prince Mu, for your approval. I didn't expect you and Sheriff Mao to come before. I hope you'll forgive me for the poor reception." .”

When moving to a new house, invite relatives and friends to increase the fireworks and popularity.

But for this opening, Cheng Wan didn't invite any relatives or friends. Xu Zhinian's family took the initiative to join in the fun, saying they wanted to try the hot pot and snacks at Suiranlou.

Cheng Wan could predict that Gu Yan would come.

But Cheng Wan really didn't expect that Mu Yao and Mao Junshou would come.

Mu Yao glanced at Gu Yan who was lowering his head to feed Gu Yu a drink of water, and hummed in his heart: "Isn't this the one who wants to drag me here, saying that I am here for a visit, and no one will dare to cause trouble in the future?" . This person is really considerate of you."

Mu Yao had a lot of mental activity, but he still had the look on his face that said no one would talk to me, "Miss Cheng, you're welcome."

Mu Yao spoke first, and then Sheriff Mao joked: "I followed the prince and Zuo Sibing up from the first floor. The first and second floors of this casual building were very lively, and the fragrance was very strong, which really attracted me. The glutton in my stomach is about to come out.”

"Dong dong dong."

"Master, I have brought the snacks that you, His Royal Highness, and Lord Mao just ordered."

It was Shaoqing's voice, but Shaoqing was not the only one outside the door.

Shaoqing and Mu Yao's personal bodyguards each came in with a tray, followed by three people from the random building, who brought hot pot soup base and dishes.

The three of them looked at the aura of the people in the room and were obviously a little nervous. Cheng Wan simply asked them all to go out and started to do it herself.

Cheng Wan was carrying a copper pot and was about to pour soup into the pot in the middle of the table, when Gu Yan took the copper pot in his hand.

"I'll come and you tell me what to do."

Cheng Wan ignored the looks that others were looking at her, "Pour half of the hot pot base on each side, and then put the hot pot base into the soup on one side. If you can't eat spicy food, you can cook the meat and rice for him in the clear soup pot." vegetable."

Cheng Wan glanced at the snacks placed in front of Gu Yan. They were all vegetarian and no meat.

Gu Yan has been making up for the three-month abstention from eating meat and observing filial piety since he got better. Gu Yan did not eat meat at the housewarming party of Cheng Wan's family before, and it will not be until the end of December that Gu Yan will start eating meat again.

Mu Yao ate a piece of tofu, looked at Gu Yan's obedient look, and sneered in his heart: "No future."

Sheriff Mao and Xu Zhuocheng looked at each other and saw the understanding in each other's eyes.

Mrs. Xu and Xu Zhinian lowered their eyes, showing nothing on their faces.

Cheng Wan was a little worried about the outside world, so after telling Chunwen and Shaoqing what to do next, she said hello to the people in the room and went out.

Mu Yao looked at the door that had just been closed, then lowered his head at the novel food in front of him, and said calmly: "Liang Da."

Mu Yao's personal bodyguard lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty."

"Go and buy another piece of sizzling tofu for my prince. I'll give the person at the window five taels of silver and say that my prince is very satisfied with the meal."

Sheriff Mao and Xu Zhuocheng looked at each other and immediately understood that with these words, no one in Shuoyang would dare to do anything to anyone downstairs.

Gu Yan poured a cup of tea for Mu Yao, "Drink tea."

Since the Suiyi Building was opened, there has been no shortage of customers in the building. Especially not long after Mu Yao, Gu Yan and Mao Junshou arrived, many powerful people in Shuoyang City who had received the letter also came. A random building.

All ten private rooms upstairs were slowly filling up.

Fortunately, Suilou had said it first. Under normal circumstances, people in the private room can only stay for an hour and a half at most, otherwise there may not be enough private rooms.

However, because of this regulation, it brought Cheng Wan an unexpected fortune.

Some people in the private room did not enjoy playing mahjong or playing cards, so they directly spent money to buy the mahjong or playing cards in the private room.

Cheng Wan ordered a mahjong table for 5 taels of silver and a deck of playing cards for 3 taels of silver. He sold a mahjong table for 10 taels of silver and a deck of playing cards for 5 taels of silver, making a profit.

When the front end of the mahjong or playing cards in the private room was bought, Cheng Wan arranged for someone to replace the back end.

Cheng Wan was not worried that the spread of mahjong and playing cards in this dynasty would encourage bad habits.

To a certain extent, ancient people were much more playful than modern people.

Fighting cocks, fighting crickets, fighting flowers, fighting grass, leaf cards, Liubo, Shefu...

By the time the store was about to close and the customers were almost gone, Cheng Wan had sold a total of six tables of mahjong and five decks of poker, making a net profit of forty taels.

If you add in the two sets of building blocks sold in the private room for children to play with, that is a net profit of forty-two taels of silver.

However, this kind of extra money is probably more abundant in the first few days after opening. People's ability to imitate is very strong. Cheng Wan has no doubt that merchants selling mahjong, playing cards and building blocks will soon appear on the market.

At the first quarter of Xu, all the guests in Sui Sui Building had left, and only the Cheng family and those who worked for Cheng Wan were left in Sui Sui Building.

The shopkeeper Xu Chu, who Cheng Wan borrowed from Gu Yan, left.

Gu Yu was also taken away by Gu Yan when he left at noon.

At this time, the door of the random building was closed tightly, and the hall on the first floor was brightly lit. Everyone was sitting in twos and threes where the guests would sit during the day, and they were all looking at Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan stood in front of the counter, facing everyone, and said loudly: "Today is the first day of our Suiyi Building's opening. Many guests came, including ordinary people and dignitaries! The guests are very satisfied with the food and service in our Suiyi Building." Satisfied, this is the joint contribution of everyone, let’s give ourselves a round of applause first!”

After speaking, Cheng Wan took the lead in applauding, with a bright smile on his face.

The others only felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment stirring in their hearts. They clapped, you looked at me, I looked at you, and couldn't help laughing.

Cheng Wan stretched out her hand and made a sign of stopping, "I know that life is not easy for everyone. Many people's homes are already cooking with bark mixed with whole grains. I won't talk about those nonsense. I see how you are doing at work, and now I will pay you your wages for this month first, so that you can buy some food tomorrow, and I will help you take it home when I go back."

The business hours of Sui Lian are from Si Zheng to the beginning of Xu, and the city gate is closed at the beginning of You. Those who work for Cheng Wan definitely cannot go home every day.

They usually live in the small courtyard behind the random building. Except for the main room, which can only accommodate Cheng's family, the other rooms can be occupied casually. One room can sleep several people, which is enough for these people.

Everyone's hearts were full of sadness and gratitude. Many people couldn't help wiping away tears. They had a lot to say, but they didn't know where to start. All their feelings finally merged into two words. :"Thanks!"

Everyone's work is different, and the wages are naturally different.

The one with the highest salary was the shopkeeper surnamed Zheng who Cheng Wan borrowed from Gu Yan. He was really experienced and was both disciplined and flexible in his work. Cheng Wan didn’t worry too much today, and shopkeeper Zheng helped control the overall situation a lot. Relationship.

Cheng Wan paid shopkeeper Zheng a salary of thirty taels a month. Shopkeeper Zheng was not only the head shopkeeper of Suilou for the time being, he was also the master of Cheng Erniu, Cheng Erping, and Cheng Daniu and Li Sanzhu who joined later.

Thirty taels, very worth it.

Among the remaining people, the one with the lowest salary is He Chunlai, who is responsible for changing the hand water for the guests, with one hundred and fifty copper coins per month. The one with the highest salary is Cheng Daniu, who is in charge of the kitchen, with two taels of silver per month.

Everyone else's wages are within this range.

Everyone received their wages from Cheng Wan one by one, looking at the broken silver or copper plates in their hands, crying and laughing.

After the regular workers' wages were paid, Cheng Wan took out three pieces of silver of similar size from the money box.

"Come on, Xiaoyu, Sanping, and Zhuangzhuang, this is what you three will get for helping draw the flyers and helping wash the dishes in the kitchen today."

Cheng Sanping and Li Zhuang asked Mr. Fang for leave today, and tomorrow happened to be the ten-day holiday, otherwise Cheng Wan would definitely have to find someone to send the two children back.

"We have one too?"

The three children were pleasantly surprised.

"Of course, eldest sister doesn't call people in vain."

This was the first time for the three children to get so much money, and they earned it by themselves. If there weren't so many people, they might have jumped for joy.

"Huahua, Yuanyuan, Second Aunt, this belongs to the three of you."

Xiao Lin, who is less than three months pregnant, and the younger Cheng Hua and Li Yuan, were helping to chop vegetables and light the fire in the kitchen today. Cheng Wan gave them one day's wages because Cheng Wan would not The three of them and Cheng Xiaoyu are going to help in the random building every day.

These people should take care of their babies and study.

"My boss, someone gave me a reward of five taels today, saying that the prince was satisfied with his meal."

As she spoke, Mrs. Song's eldest son, Sister-in-law Feng, took out a silver ingot from the money bag at her waist.

"And me, today a guest came back from the hut and gave me a piece of broken silver. There were twenty taels!"

"I have one too. When the guest saw me standing by the basin, he gave me a small golden bean."

"..."

Cheng Wan stopped the others from giving him broken silver and golden beans, "Just keep the rewards given by the guests for yourselves. You don't have to give them to me."
