After the scientific examination, with enough rest, Zhang Erlang came to Five Willow Lane for the first time and saw the ice shop and sugar shop opened by Chen Nianguan.

A few days ago, as soon as he arrived in Prefecture City, he was so absorbed in taking the exam that he had no time for him.

It's not that Liu Qing has never heard of the new shop opened by her cousin, but like Zhang Erlang, she focuses on her studies. Even though they are both in Prefecture City, they have never been here. Today, she finally finished her scientific examination. heard that Zhang ErlangErlang wanted to come to Five Willow Lane, so he also followed him to have a look, and this look made him speechless.

"Cousin, this ice shop, no, this ice cellar, was it really you who built it?"

"Is this still fake?"

Liu Qing looked at Chen Nianguan who proudly raised his nose, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Unexpectedly, there are so many sons in the Liu family, and they are not as capable as a cousin. Liu Qing sighed: "It's a pity that my cousin is so smart, and she has to study and take science exams like Erlang, and I'm afraid she is better than us." She said and patted Zhang ErlangOn the shoulders: "Such a good cousin, but you are the one who got ahead of me." She shook her head as she spoke, feeling regretful.

If I had known that I could win the fame of a scholar, I would have been bolder, listened to my mother, and was afraid of being engaged to such a capable cousin, it would be me.

Zhang Erlang pursed his lips and smiled, covered the corners of his mouth with his fists, suppressing the laughter that almost broke out.

No!

At one point, he almost thought that Liu Qing was his competitor!

Fortunately, he was close to the water, so he got the moon first!

If Chen Nianguan knew Liu Qing's thoughts at this time, he would definitely say that we are close relatives, getting married, isn't it good?

After showing them around the ice cellar carefully, Chen Nianguan took them to Tangshui Shop.

Strange to say, Chen Nianguan clearly considers that there are ladies and gentlemen among the diners who come to patronize, so he deliberately divides the gentleman's area and the lady's area.

But now the customers who come to the sugar shop to help are basically either ladies or ladies, and they have never been to the man.

The two waiters who were recruited specially to greet Mr. Lang's diners had nothing to do every day. Not only was it embarrassing, but also they had to worry about whether the boss would dismiss them because they had no use for them because Mr. Mr.them!

After all, the waiter of this sugar shop has a high monthly salary. It is generally only 200 Wen a month in other places, but Master Chen charged them a high price of 300 Wen!

Not only that, but they also have two sets of custom-made work clothes, and they can eat a free snack and drink every day, and the taste is not too good!

At the end of the month, the boss said that if they want good income and high profits, they will be rewarded with extra money.

Looking at the other four female waiters who greeted the wives and ladies every day, the eyes of the two male waiters burst into flames.

They don't want the extra money. After all, there are no serious diners to greet them, so they just need to keep this job!

After all, with such a good shop, such a good owner, and such good benefits, they don't want to leave!

So when Zhang Erlang and Liu Qing came to the door, it was the first time they saw Mr. Lang come to the door, and the two waiters couldn't wait to show eighteen martial arts to greet them both!

"You two gentlemen, this way please, this way please."

"This is a seat specially prepared for young masters. Come, come, what do you two young masters want to eat? Look, our store's signature sweet water is hung on the wall. If you think about it, feel free to place an order with us."

The two waiters are like King Kong, each facing a gentleman, and the smiles on their faces have not disappeared since they entered the shop.

There are still female customers in the Tangshui shop at the moment, and they can't see Zhang Erlang and Liu Qing through the screen, but they all heard the greeting from the waiter.There is also a small screen, so can't help but feel relieved.

Some bold girls couldn't help poking their heads out from the screen to see what the gentleman who entered the store looked like.

Needless to say, Zhang Erlang naturally has a good skin, and Liu Qing is also handsome, and has just won the fame of a scholar, so both of them exude a proud demeanor.

Seeing that there were two gentlemen in green shirts with extraordinary looks, the girls secretly smiled and shrank their heads back.

Zhang Erlang and Liu Qing were both surprised when they learned that they were still the first batch of Tangshui shop's patrons, and then quickly relieved.

After all, sugar water?Generally speaking, it's what girls like to drink more. When a man drinks sugar water, it always makes people feel weak.

"Prejudice." Chen Nianguan muttered.

Thinking about it, especially the effect of Guiling jelly, most of the publicity is about skin beauty, which means that the audience will be mostly women, so if Mr. Lang enters the store and says to eat tortoise jelly, I am afraid that he will be ridiculed.

Even if there are no Langjun diners, this shop has a lot of income, so Chen Nianguan doesn't care too much, looking at the two newly released scholar men, he said with a smile: "The first batch of men in our Tangshui shop are two scholars., with a special status, maybe there will be good luck in the future."

Both Zhang Erlang and Liu Qing laughed: "That is, that is."

Greetings to relatives are naturally not stingy, Chen Nianguan made the decision, and brought Zhang Erlang and Liu Qing each a bowl of Guiling Jelly, a bowl of Shuangpi Nai, two cups of drinks, and two snacks.

Zhang Erlang recognized the little crispy meat when he looked at it. It was the kind of snack that Chen Nianguan had made last time he went back to the county, and he specially left a bowl for himself. He tasted it with a smile, and then glanced at Chen Nianguan again.

Chen Nianguan also grinned at him.

While the three of them were eating and laughing, another diner came to the sugar shop.

Chen Nianguan thought it was someone's wife, but turned around to see, ah, it was actually Jiang Yu!

He seems to be the same as Zhang Erlang, he is going to take the scientific examination, so after the examination, he came to help his shop?She got up to greet her, and enthusiastically said: "Young Master Jiang, you are a rare visitor, welcome to the shop for consumption, what do you want to eat?"

"I'm here to buy turtle jelly for my aunt and sister." Jiang Yu flicked his sleeves, "Since they're all here, by the way, let me bring a few acquaintances of mine to come in and have a sit."

"Okay, gentlemen, come here, this way please."

The two waiters watched happily from behind.

God open your eyes, beg grandpa to tell grandma to hope that more gentlemen will come, won't they come today?

"Yes, yes, there is an elegant seat here, and all the young masters invite you here."

Not long after Jiang Yu sat down with a group of gentlemen, the girls on the other side of the screen couldn't sit still anymore, and secretly poked their heads from the other side of the screen, and were surprised: "It's really the eldest son of the Jiang family!"

"He also came to the sugar shop?"

"Mrs. Jiang often brings Second Lady Jiang and Fourth Lady Jiang to this shop. It's not uncommon for you to know. What's so strange about Young Master Jiang coming?"

Whispering on the other side, Jiang Yu and the gentlemen he brought here have already started placing orders.

"Wow, it's really cool in this sugar shop!"

"It looks comfortable, and it's comfortable to sit on. Why didn't we know that Five Willow Lane has such a good place before?"

"Hey!"

One of the lords coughed, and cast his eyes towards the lady's seat, all the lords would understand, and they all looked at the other side of the screen, and even Zhang Erlang and Liu Qing couldn't help but follow suit.Glanced over.

Afterwards, a wave of gentlemen stared at the peeking girls.

The girls who peeked but were looked at quickly hid their faces back, and the gentlemen who looked back at Ben pretended to be nonchalant, turned their heads and sat down, but their hearts were pounding.

Wow, so many beautiful ladies over there!So there are so many ladies patronizing here?

The girls on the other end also blushed, each turning their heads to clean up their flustered hearts.

Ouch, so many good-looking gentlemen!Why are there so many gentlemen suddenly appearing in the shop!

As the owner, Chen Nianguan was busy going to the other side of the ice shop and didn't notice this scene, so he didn't realize that today's undercurrent surge will bring unexpected passenger flow in the future.

The women here will secretly tell their boudoir friends about seeing a good-looking man in the sugar shop, and the men over there will generously share with their buddies about seeing a good-looking woman in the sugar shop.

As a result, the diners in the Tangshui shop suddenly and inexplicably increased a lot of ladies and gentlemen.

Ladies are here to secretly watch the handsome young gentleman to satisfy his greed, and gentlemen are here to meet the beautiful young lady in a fair way. Hey, let alone, we really made a few pairs!

Those who come to the Tangshui shop may not be able to afford a bowl of Guiling jelly for a tael of silver, but they can still afford a bowl of double-skin milk for two hundred renminbi.Therefore, it is considered well-matched????? Yes.

In addition, several gentlemen brought by Jiang Yu were full of praise for the sugar water served and couldn't stop eating. Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Nianguan called Jiang Yu over, went in through the door behind the counter, and poured the sugar water from last month.The proceeds from the ice shop were sold to him.

"This matter, you will leave it to Wang Guanshi in the future." Jiang Yu said.

"Hmm, I just want Mr. Jiang to know that you are right in partnering with me in this ice shop business." Chen Nianguan, who made a lot of money, smiled happily, and didn't care what Jiang Yu said.

"Very profitable?"

"Of course!"

Chen Nianguan's almond eyes were crooked.

Jiang Yu then opened the red envelope and took a look, and was surprised when he saw the amount.

There are more than two thousand taels.

Not surprised, it's fake.

At the beginning, Jiang Yu took a fancy to the business of Chen Nianguan's ice shop because the ice shop business was very profitable, but it was the first time Chen Nianguan started this business, and he thought it would be enough to earn a few hundred silver a month.

Unexpectedly, in the first month, she gave herself such a big surprise.

More than two thousand taels, even if it is placed in his Jiangfu, is not a small amount of income. According to his inflated investment money, it has already been paid back.

Jiang Yu quickly calculated in his mind.

This is just the first month, and the following July and August are the months with the most ice consumption, and it is the season when the ice business is slowly declining.

In other words, after the end of summer, perhaps, he could double his earnings to 6,000 taels.

Six thousand taels.

Jiang Yu's usual calmness and reserve finally cracked a little.

Look, the business he planned has already tripled the profit from the store without paying any money, and this is only the first year.

Jiang Yu tucked the red seal into his sleeve, "If there is any need for help in the ice shop in the future, just ask Wang to manage it!"

"Hey, yes, Mr. Jiang." Chen Nianwan smiled as he deserved.

Did she randomly find an excuse to give the dividend to Jiang Yu face to face?

Of course not!

It is to hand over the dividends to Mr. Jiang personally, so that he can feel the immediate benefits, so that he can treat the ice shop as his own and take extra care of it. Then, um, after hearing what he said, she will send Steward Wang to use it in the future.It takes courage and confidence to stand up to the big tree of Jiangfu!

Chen Nianguan showed a little fox smile.

As for the person who can do the best of foxes and tigers, who else is she, Master Chen?

After chatting with Jiang Yu about the ice shop, and then returning to the Tangshui shop, Chen Nianguan found that Zhang Erlang had already left, leaving only Liu Qing eating fish curds leisurely.

Asked Liu Qing, Liu Qing glanced at Jiang Yu who had come back and sat in a private seat beside him, and then looked back at Chen Nianguan.

Chen Nianguan also glanced at Jiang Yu, then back at Liu Qing.

Their eyes met, and Chen Nianguan understood.

Did you leave when you saw me talking to Mr. Jiang in private?

That's right.

Are you angry?

That's right.

Misunderstand me and Mr. Jiang?

That's right.

Chen Nianguan turned around, looking at the back that was fading away at the door.

This, this, who will tell him personally that she and Mr. Jiang only have a friendship with the revolutionary who digs secret roads, listens to the foot of the bed, breaks into mass graves, and almost falls into the cesspit?

She has absolutely, absolutely, absolutely no affair with him!

Then you still don't chase?

With a sudden sound, Chen Nianguan rushed to push the door out.

Jiang Yu was tasting a small muffin, when he saw Chen Nianguan running away from the shop suddenly, and seeing her rushing to catch up with the figure outside the shop, his eyes dimmed suddenly, he slowly put down the muffin in his hand, and closed his eyes.With a quick glance, he returned to his usual look, chatting freely with the man he brought with him.

Outside the Tangshui shop, Chen Nianguan caught up with Zhang Erlang.

Now it is entering the Slight Heat, and the weather was very hot. Chen Nianguan was out of breath after running for a certain distance, with thin lines of sweat oozing from his forehead.

From the sun-baked streets paved with cool sugar water, it was like falling from heaven to hell.

"Zhang Erlang, don't think too much about it. Jiang Yu is the partner of my ice shop. I just asked him to talk about the shop, nothing else."

Zhang Erlang looked at Chen Nianguan standing under the sun, her pink face was blushing, and thin beads of sweat were still falling down. He couldn't bear it, and dragged her to the shade of a shop beside him.

"Zhang Erlang?"

"I know!"

"Knowing that you still run? Why are you angry?"

Zhang Erlang looked at her, silent, but his heart was throbbing.

He knew that she opened an ice shop in Prefecture City and cooperated with Jiang Yu just because of the influence of Jiang's family in Prefecture City.Still uncomfortable.

Obviously you should restrain yourself and not think too much about it.

He just couldn't help it.

It even gave birth to feeling ashamed.

Compared with him who has no family background, Jiang Yu is from the Jiangfu. Jiang Yu is a good-looking talent.

And he was useless against Jiang Yu.

Wanniang has been with Jiang Yu who is better than him for a long time, seriously, won't she despise him?

Low self-esteem, restlessness, irritability.

I can't wait to call Wanniang back immediately, and tell her not to associate with Jiang Yu, not to talk to Jiang Yu, not to smile at Jiang Yu.

However, he couldn't.

The shop Guanniang likes to run is a partnership with Jiang Yu, cutting off contact with him is like taking away Guanniang's favorite thing, and he can't do it.

If he also has Jiang Yu's background, Jiang Yu's talent and learning, that would be great!

That's why he couldn't sit still, he wanted to stay away from Jiang Yu, and also wanted to stay away from Wanniang.

In this way, Guanniang wouldn't compare him with Jiang Yu who was present, wouldn't she see that he was inferior to Jiang Yu?

"Are you still mad at me?"

Zhang Erlang shook his head.

Why is he angry with Wan Wan?He was obviously angry with himself.

"Don't be angry, let's go back to the shop, right? It's getting hot outside!" Seeing that Zhang Erlang was unmoved, Chen Nianguan grabbed his hand and walked back to the Tangshui shop.

Zhang Erlang was dragged away by Chen Nianguan, seeing her holding his hand and lowering her head, the depression in his heart was finally relieved, and even gave birth to a little joy.

"Miss Wan!"

"Ok?"

"Are you done with Mr. Jiang?"

"It's over!"

"Do you think, Mr. Jiang, you are a very nice person?"

"Extremely good?" Chen Nianguan saw that the Tangshui shop was not far away, let go of Zhang Erlang's hand, and waved his hands again and again, "Impossible, he is just an ordinary person."

"real?"

Chen Nianguan understood what Zhang Erlang meant, so he simply raised his head, stared into Zhang Erlang's eyes, and asked, "Really! Zhang Yulang, you are the one who is engaged to me, not someone else. If you want to think about it, you might as well think about it."If you pass the exam and marry me, won’t you worry about gains and losses?”

Seeing Chen Nianguan say these words frankly, the trace of melancholy in Zhang Erlang's heart suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.

"Okay. I promise you!"

Chen Nianguan, who coaxed back his future husband, straight ball girl, went to count the bank notes happily.

The count is naturally the income of Tangshui shop this month.

Due to the nature of the Tangshui store, since the opening of the store, volunteers have taken the bait route, and there has been no fanfare at the door, so there has not been a particularly large number of customers for the opening of the pho shop.

However, given the products in the Tangshui shop, even if they shouted, they might not attract too many diners, and their prices would drop instead.

After all, the Tangshui shop is a high-end luxury shop. A bowl of Guiling jelly for a tael of silver is not something that anyone can afford. If it is the former Chen Nianguan mother and daughter, or the current second aunt, they will not be willing to part with it.Nadal Lala came out with a tael of silver, just to buy a bowl of food.

The food in the Tangshui shop is expensive and the cost is high, and it attracts families with a lot of money in the Prefecture City.

Therefore, the revenue of the Tangshui shop is not as good as that of the rice noodles shop, which can earn thousands of taels of silver a month.

But not too little.

During this day and night, Chen Nianguan and Liu Yun settled accounts together. In just 20 days, after deducting the cost, business tax and monthly salary of the staff, the profit was 250 taels.

Among them, it is natural that Guiling Jelly's revenue generation accounts for the bulk.

It was the first time for Liu Yun to settle accounts with his cousin, his little face flushed with excitement.

This is the first time she has seen so much money.

She used to work as a cook in a pho shop. She was not a partner, but got a monthly salary from a buddy. Because she was good at cooking, she also got a high salary, six taels, a huge amount of money that she had never seen before.silver.

When I was helping my uncle's mother cook in Liujia Village, I never thought that one day I would save a lot of money because of cooking, and it would all belong to me.

Every time saw brothers follow cousin into the accounting room to settle the accounts, there would always be laughter from the brothers.

She knew that it was the money they earned in the branch shop, and she was so envious.

Every time my elder brother gets silver, although he doesn't tell her how much he can get, he is always happy, saying that he has saved another dowry for her, not afraid that his younger brother will have a hard time in the future, and will reward himself with a tael of silver to buy food and flowers.

However, she also wanted to share the money with her cousin, like her brothers, and share a lot of money.

That's why she saved her six taels of silver every month, and her brother also saved it. She planned to tell her that she wanted to be a partner when she planned to open a shop next time.

Now, her wish has come true, and she is really sitting next to her cousin, and she can share the money.

Still so much.

Two hundred and fifty taels.

How much can she share?Liu Yun was dizzy.

Chen Nianguan smiled and pushed the ninety taels of silver to Liu Yun: "Yunyun, your fifty taels!"

Fifty taels?This month, she can get fifty taels?

Liu Yun rolled his eyes and his voice trembled, "Cousin, cousin, what are you talking about, five, fifty taels? Is it really fifty taels? Are they all mine?"

Chen Nianguan stretched out his hand, squeezed Liu Yun's small face, and said with a smile, "That's right, Yunyun, you earned fifty taels last month. If you keep working hard this month, you may be able to get more money than fifty taels.".”

Liu Yun was short of breath and almost passed out.

No wonder, no wonder the brothers and cousin are so happy to share money in the cashier!

Wouldn't she be too happy to change her?

"Cousin, don't worry, I will work hard this month and try to earn one hundred taels." Liu Yun was full of energy and morale was like a rainbow.

Chen Nianguan nodded with a smile, then went out of the room and went to the ice shop to find Liu Yang and the four beasts.

The accounts at the sugar water store are settled, and the ice store is the same. After the accounts are settled, it's time to give rewards to the guys.

Compared with the profit of the ice shop, the income of the Tangshui shop is just a fraction for Chen Nianguan.

However, the ice shop is profitable, and the key role played by the Tangshui shop is also indispensable. Without them vigorously promoting one or two ice cubes at the Tangshui shop, who would know that there is a cold ice shop here?

Therefore, the ice shop can earn nearly 10,000 yuan in a short period of time, and the Tangshui shop has contributed a lot.

Indispensable, and the four beasts in front of me!

Thanks to their tireless efforts every day to pull the donkey cart to move water into the river.

How many ice cubes were sold, they carried how much water they brought back, and defied the cold to make ice in the ice cellar, cut the ice with pickaxes, and slowly filled the ice storage area in the ice cellar.

These are heavy jobs, not only that, but also heavy jobs in a freezing environment.

Although considering the temperature problem, she asked Liu Yang to pay attention to cooking ginger soup every day to warm them up, and also customized jackets for them to wear when they stayed in the ice cellar.

She even customized a work suit for herself when she went to the ice cellar.

However, working in a freezing environment for a long time, even in just a few months, can cause damage to the body that cannot be ignored.

Hard work and great merit are what they are talking about.

Modern migrant workers still have high-temperature subsidies, hazard pay, etc. Compensation, Chen Nianguan naturally will not wronged such hard-working migrant workers.

The original monthly salary for them was three hundred and fifty cash per month, but now the monthly salary has been increased to two taels of silver per month, and then, according to the monthly profit, additional bonuses will be issued.

Hearing this, the four beasts rubbed their hands together happily.

Two taels of silver, when they were beggars, they also did the work of carrying goods at the wharf in the county town.

The goods are much heavier than water, and you have to run back and forth, not to mention how tiring you are, but the daily cost is only 20 Wen at most.

And working in Master Chen's ice shop, although it is also heavy work, but to carry water from the river, it is moved to a donkey cart, and when it is full of water, a donkey cart will take them back to the shop.

As for moving ice, there are ice trucks for transporting ice from the ice cellar. The real hard work, that is, moving from the shop to the carriage or donkey cart, is much easier than the previous work of carrying goods.

But it can earn two taels of silver!

The owner said that this job can only be done for three months.

But in three months, they can earn six taels of silver.

When August passed, they could take the six taels of silver and go back to Liujia Village to build a house.

The four ferocious beasts were passionate.

Listening to it now, Chen Nianguan wanted to reward them with extra silver and red envelopes, it was tearful.

Chen Nianguan gave the four beasts a bonus of five taels for this month, and in order to make them happy, she specially took four silver ingots of five taels!

Sure enough, the four beasts were holding the small silver ingot, their mouths were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, and then they grabbed the silver ingot and stuffed it into their mouths, and they all went to take a bite.

"Oh! Silver, really silver!"

"It's the first time I've seen Yuan Bao!"

"Yes, yes, who would have thought that, as a beggar, one day we would be able to handle money with our own hands!"

"Boss, you are such a good person!"

They have been beggars for so many years, and they have never seen such a nice person!

No wonder Xiao You wants to work with Master Chen!

This is a great thing!

With a smile on his face, Chen Nianguan accepted the respect and gratitude of the four beasts one by one, and then gave Liu Yang a red seal.

Inside are twenty taels of silver bills.

Liu Yang glanced at it, her eyes were also flushed!

"Boss!"

Chen Nianwan smiled and waved her hands to express Liu Yang's gratitude, she accepted them all, then walked back to the backyard humming a tune.

Now that she has a family background of Wanguan, she naturally has to behave like a person with a family background of Wanguan.

That's right.

It's that simple from a little rich woman with a thousand ounces to a rich woman with a million crowns!

The money earned by the ice shop has been rising steadily, especially after the price has been raised to two or two pieces of ice.

Adding the income from the ice shop that she got in July, plus her share from the Tangshui shop, the west store and the east store, the share from the partners sent by Liu's one after another, and other income, it broke through ten thousand taels of silver in one fell swoop.

She is now a rich woman holding tens of thousands of taels of silver.

At the same time, he owns a shop, an ice cellar, a sugar water shop, and two pho shops, and is the behind-the-scenes owner of more than 20 pho shops in various places.

Hehe, when it comes to the rich woman who made a fortune silently in this dynasty, who else is she, Master Chen?

From now on, she can finally be arrogant!

Chen Nianguan clenched his fists and thought viciously, his face grim.

"Boss?" Her twitchy appearance frightened Si Ya who was basking in the sun in the yard.

Well, the ice shop next to it has a lot of ice, so it's a bit cold.

People buy ice to keep cool at home, and people in their backyard have to bask in the sun to keep out the cold.

"fine."

Chen Nianguan coughed, patted himself on the face, and walked away!
