The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Chapter 199 Make a fortune

After closing the store, Xia Ruwan and Qin Huiyin stayed in the accounting office to check the accounts.

Li Taohua and his wife, as well as Tang Luwu, were also present. After all, they were the main managers of the store and had to understand the situation there.

The accountant was busy working nearby for a while, and finally concluded, "After deducting the cost of ingredients and various losses, today's profit is about 500 taels of silver."

"Five hundred taels?" Li Taohua covered her mouth. "So much?"

"The waiters' wages are eight hundred wen a month, the head chef's is five taels of silver, and the kitchen helpers' is one tael. Uncle Tang and my mother's wages are ten taels, Sister Lu Wu's is six taels, and the accountant's is five taels, so the monthly labor costs are just over a hundred taels," Qin Huiyin said. "In addition, there are the cost of ingredients, daily losses, and taxes. If we divide the profits evenly, I estimate that each of us can earn more than two thousand taels a month."

"It's more than that, business is so good, you and the young lady must share more than 5,000 taels?" Shuhui interjected.

"Today, there are so many people because of the discounts and everyone wants to see something new. After the three-day opening discount is over, there won't be so many people." Xia Ruwan said, "I estimate that after three days, our daily profit will be more than 200 taels, which is good. Don't forget, a big store means a lot of wear and tear. Tables, chairs, plates, and cups will eventually wear out, and those are our costs. In addition, our employees are provided with food and lodging."

"That's quite a bit of money," Tang Dafu smacked his lips. "I never dreamed I could earn ten taels of silver as a wage."

Tang Luwu blushed and said, "I haven't thought about it either."

Behind the shop were the waiters' quarters, separated by gender, with five people sharing one room. Tang Dafu and Li Taohua, key managers, had separate rooms for their spouses. Qin Huiyin and Xia Ruwan, the owners, also had separate rooms. Tang Luwu's room was next to Qin Huiyin's, and its furnishings were identical. The accountants and chefs also had rooms. However, Xia Ruwan's accountants were all family-born, members of the Xia family for generations, and generally lived in Xia Manor.

Only confidants can be so highly valued and know their inside information.

"We're all exhausted today. Let's all get some rest early." Xia Ruwan stood up. "I'm going home first and will come back tomorrow."

After washing up, Tang Luwu knocked on Qin Huiyin's door.

Qin Huiyin had also washed up and was wiping her hair.

Their rooms all had bathtubs with a pipe underneath to drain the dirty water. As for hot water, of course, it was the men who took the initiative to bring it.

"Sister Luwu, what's wrong?"

"Yinyin, I want to learn how to use an abacus." Tang Luwu said.

"I really can't help you with this." Qin Huiyin took Tang Luwu's hand and let her in first. "I don't know how to use an abacus either."

"That……"

"Shuhui, who is next to Sister Xia, knows how to use an abacus. Let her stay here tomorrow to teach you."

"Yinyin, I feel like all this is unreal, like a dream." Tang Luwu took the towel from her hand and wiped her hair.

"Our lives will get better and better in the future. You should get used to it sooner." Qin Huiyin said, "Go play with my little brother later!"

"May I?"

"Their clinic closes late, so they must not be resting yet. We are in the city, so of course we can go and visit him."

"What about big brother?"

"My eldest brother is in the academy, and the supervision there is quite strict, so don't bother him at night. We will often stay overnight in the city in the future, and we will visit him when we have the chance."

Tang Luwu was even happier when she heard this.

The two sisters changed their clothes and went out carrying lanterns.

At the clinic, Tang Yixiao was performing acupuncture on a mannequin, which was covered with densely packed needles.

When Doctor Wei passed by, he looked at his progress and nodded.

This was the scene that Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu saw when they appeared.

They did not disturb Tang Yixiao, but greeted the medicine boy next to them first, and then greeted Doctor Wei who saw them enter.

"Let's stop here for today!" Doctor Wei said, "Your sister is here to see you."

Tang Yi smiled and looked up. Seeing his two sisters appear, he became happy: "Eldest sister, second sister..."

"Are you hungry? Let's take you for a midnight snack." Tang Luwu said, "and visit the night market."

"it is good."

Tang Yixiao had been in the clinic all day and was already exhausted. In the past, he would go back to his room to rest and never thought of going out. After all, being alone was too boring and there was nothing fun to do.

The siblings strolled through the bustling market and ate a variety of snacks. Tang Yi asked about the opening of the store, and Tang Luwu excitedly described it to him, sharing his joy.

Bang! Someone bumped into Qin Huiyin.

Qin Huiyin quickly supported the man: "Be careful... Third sister?"

The person who bumped into her was none other than Tang Sanmei from the same village.

Tang Sanmei saw Qin Huiyin and looked anxious. She wanted to say something, but suddenly a few strong men chased her from behind. When Tang Sanmei saw them, she felt like she saw a ghost and hid behind Qin Huiyin. Her hands tightly grasped Qin Huiyin's clothes. Qin Huiyin didn't look back and could feel her whole body trembling.

"We finally caught up with them." The leading man said fiercely, "You little bitch, how dare you steal the master's things? Do you think you can get away?"

Tang Sanmei kept shaking her head, her eyes full of fear.

"Third sister, did you take something from their house?" Tang Luwu frowned. "What did you take?"

Tang Sanmei kept shaking her head.

"Third sister, why don't you speak?"

Tang Sanmei sobbed and didn't say a word.

Qin Huiyin sensed something was wrong and stopped Tang Sanmei behind her. She looked at the men in front of her warily: "What do you want to do to Sanmei?"

"Don't mind your own business. This little girl has dirty hands." The man said, "We need to take her back."

"We know Third Sister. She's not that kind of person," Tang Luwu said angrily. "You say she's dishonest. Let's go to the government and seek justice."

"Don't bother with that. Just capture her and hand her over to the master for disposal." The man said, "They signed a contract to sell their bodies. Their life and death are determined by the master's word."

"Indenture?" Several people looked at Tang Sanmei with incredulous eyes. "Sanmei, your stepmother signed an indenture for you?"

Tang Sanmei sobbed and nodded, her eyes full of despair.

"Now you know you shouldn't meddle in other people's business, right? She's the master's servant, and now she's stolen something from him. There's no need to report her to the authorities; the master can punish her."

The man reached out to pull Tang Sanmei.

"That won't work either." Qin Huiyin said, "We need to report it to the police."

"You little bitch, are you looking for death?" The man was furious and gestured to the people behind him. "Take her away."

Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu stood in front of Tang Sanmei. When the men tried to capture her, they protected her and refused to let her go, completely angering the men.

Just when the leading man was grabbing Qin Huiyin's neck, a figure suddenly appeared and kicked over. With a bang, the man rolled far away like a ball.
