Traveling to ancient times to sweep the catering industry

Qi Shuo felt a little surprised. This daughter of the Cheng family was so poor that she had to set up a stall outside, but she didn't want to contribute to the household expenses?

Is it possible to be reserved?

Qi Shuo raised his eyes, looked at Wu Li and asked, "Why doesn't she want the power to manage the household expenses?"

Wu Li conveyed Cheng Wenwen's words to Qi Shuo verbatim: "Miss Cheng said she is still ill and can't take care of things. Miss Cheng also said that she can leave it to me to take care of it."

Qi Xing walked in and heard this, he laughed twice and said: "The new wife is really stupid, she doesn't even know how to manage things! She is not as good as Aunt Wu!"

Qi Shuo looked at Qi Xing coldly, and Qi Xing immediately covered his mouth and went out.

Qi Shuo thought about it again and realized that in the past few years, Wu Li had indeed managed the household in an orderly manner.

Qi Shuo nodded and said, "In that case, you should take care of it, Wu Niang. Give Miss Cheng 100 taels of silver every month for her expenses."

Wu Li bowed his head and replied: "Yes!"

Wu Li immediately withdrew one hundred taels of silver from the account and gave it to Cheng Wenwen.

When He saw Wu Li coming again, she quickly asked for the power of household affairs and said, "Our young lady said that it's better to leave the household affairs to us! You don't have to worry about it, Wu!"

Wu Li was too lazy to pay any more attention to He and directly handed the money to her: "The general said that Miss Cheng would be given 100 silver coins every month."

"One hundred taels of silver?" He's eyes widened.

One tael of silver could be exchanged for one thousand copper coins. They worked hard to set up three stalls for a month, but in reality they could only make a dozen taels of silver.

The general's monthly salary of one hundred taels is really a lot.

He took the silver immediately.

Wu Li paid the money and left immediately.

He pulled her and said, "Hey! Wait a minute, I haven't counted them clearly yet!"

Wu Li couldn't help feeling a little impatient, and waited for He to count slowly before leaving.

When they got outside the courtyard, Wu Li let out a breath of anger and cursed, "It's like you've never seen silver before!"

He didn't hear it. If she had heard it, she would definitely have a fight with Wu Li. After all, she had disliked Wu Li for a long time. How dare a servant treat her mistress in such a way?

He took the silver and ran into the house to tell Cheng Wenwen: "Miss, this is the monthly salary that the general asked someone to give you, a full 100 taels!"

Cheng Wenwen blinked and was still a little stunned when she took the heavy purse.

He said happily, "Miss, now that we have money, we don't have to set up a stall!"

One hundred taels is enough to support a hundred guards.

Cheng Wenwen disagreed with He and said, "We still have to make money!"

Although the general gave her a monthly salary, she still had to make a living of her own. She couldn't rely on this old man to support herself, right?

What if one day he dislikes me and turns against me, how would I live?

He was puzzled: "Miss! You are rich now, why do you still do such small business? If this gets out, not only will you lose face, but the general will also lose face!"

Cheng Wenwen frowned. She disagreed with He's idea of ​​discriminating against businessmen.

But after all, setting up a stall outside is exposed to the wind and sun and is affected by many external factors, and it is also dusty and unhygienic.

Cheng Wenwen weighed the money in the bag and thought about it, and decided that it would be better to borrow the money first, open a shop, and then pay it back when she made some money.

If she were to escape someday, she would definitely not take away a single penny of the general's money.

"My injuries have improved somewhat in the past few days. Please accompany me out tomorrow!"

He asked, "Miss? What are you doing out here?"

Cheng Wenwen said: "Let's go out and choose a shop, so we don't have to set up a stall anymore!"

He felt that this approach seemed feasible, and it was normal for a woman to buy her own shop.

It was just like setting up a stall in a new place, but she always felt that setting up a stall outside was not presentable, and opening a shop seemed to be more face-saving.

……

Wu Licai had just come out of Cheng Wenwen's courtyard when she ran into a beautiful woman in the garden.

"Hey! Manager Wu? Did you just go to curry favor with the new lady?" The beautiful woman mocked Wu Li.

Wu Li was secretly unhappy, and lowered her eyes to greet him: "Hello, Aunt Yan."

Aunt Yan was tall and slender, yet well-proportioned. Her pair of seductive eyes made her look even more amorous and charming.

Aunt Yan entered the mansion half a year ago. During the past six months, every time the general came back, Aunt Yan would eagerly approach him and seduce him.

So, as soon as the general came back this time, she dressed up carefully and went to the main courtyard.

"Manager Wu, look at yourself. Your face is so sallow that you look like you are ten years older. But it just so happens that the new wife has come. From now on, you don't have to worry about the household expenses. You will have the time and energy to dress up and find a good man to marry!"

Aunt Yan couldn't stand Wu Li. After all, Wu Li relied on the fact that she was in charge of the household affairs and looked down on everyone. To put it simply, ugly people are more likely to do bad things.

Wu Li was ridiculed and immediately became furious. She replied coldly, "Aunt, you don't have to worry about me. Just take care of your own business!"

"Manager Wu, if you don't know how to dress up, you can come to me and I will help you!"

When it comes to dressing up, no one in the mansion can compare to Aunt Yan.

Wu Li looked at her thin clothes, her fair skin faintly visible, which made women feel shy and dazzled, and men would be dizzy when they saw her.

Wu Li secretly disliked Aunt Yan for being shameless and didn't want to get involved with her.

Aunt Yan mocked Wu Li and walked past her without even looking up.

Wu Li looked at the soup in Aunt Yan's hand, with a few red decorations on it, and couldn't help but twitch her lips in amusement. The general hated eating wolfberries the most.

This Aunt Yan was born with such beauty in vain, she is not smart at all. The general is not the kind of man who will be dazzled by beauty.

Watching Aunt Yan go away, Wu Li called the maid who followed her: "Xiao Hong."

Xiaohong raised her head, revealing her face. She had a big face and eyes as small as melon seeds. She stood next to Wu Li, making Wu Li look even prettier.

Xiaohong came forward and asked, "What do you want, sister?"

Wu Li came close to her and said to her, "Go and tell Aunt Yan about what happened at Cheng's place."

Xiaohong nodded and went to do it immediately.
