Chapter 203 I love doing this

The entrance was covered with red firecracker debris, and the chubby little baby was calling out in a sweet, childlike voice, looking adorable and festive.

I heard it's free, and even people who don't like crowds will squeeze in to try it and see if it's as the little kid at the door is saying.

Wen Luozhi was both amused and exasperated by the chubby child. She shoved a large chicken leg into his hand, pinched his cheek, and asked, "Where are your parents? Come inside and eat with your sister."

People kept coming in from outside the door, and there were people upstairs and downstairs. She was afraid that such a cute little baby would be kidnapped.

"Thank you, fairy boss! My grandpa is over there!"

The chubby baby was biting into a chicken leg, and the little fat finger was pointing at an old man on the first floor.

Wen Luozhi followed his hand and looked over. In that corner sat the old man who had been standing in front of her yesterday.

However, he looked drunk and intoxicated at this moment, so he must have drunk quite a bit.

She led the chubby baby into the house, sat him down next to the old man, and instructed him, "You sit here obediently and wait for your grandpa, don't run around."

The chubby baby nodded obediently, sat on the chair, and swung his short legs while gnawing on his chicken leg.

"Delicious! Delicious! The food is excellent! And the wine is excellent too!"

The old man let out a burp, only then realizing that his grandson was still sitting at the door.

He got up and wobbled as he tried to go out, but a soft, chubby little hand grabbed his arm. "Grandpa, I'm here."

The old man plopped down again, squinting at his mouth. "Where did you get this chicken leg?"

That brat must have stolen his money!

The chubby boy wiped his mouth. "The boss gave it to me, it was from the lady who cut the cake."

The old man nodded knowingly and ordered several more dishes in one go, thinking that the food was delicious and now it was half price. He would call his grandson to come over when he got back.

After finishing his meal, he wiped his mouth, paid the money, and led the chubby boy toward the county government office.

When we arrived at the door, my eldest grandson was on duty. He said a few words to me and then happily carried the packed food away.

His eldest grandson was the one who arrested Zhang Yidao and took money from Wen Luozhi. When it was time to finish his business, he took a few brothers to the restaurant that his grandfather had mentioned.

He's usually the most frugal person; he wouldn't have come if the old man hadn't offered half-price.

They almost couldn't squeeze into the restaurant, but Wen Zizhou spotted them going upstairs to a private room.

Zou Ersheng ordered four dishes and a soup in one go. The food was delicious, with meat and vegetables, and the guys ate with gusto.

When it came time to pay, Wen Luozhi rounded down the bill to zero, so it only cost him one tael of silver. When the brothers split the bill, it cost even less.

"The boss knows how to do business! May his business prosper!"

He clasped his hands in a fist and offered his congratulations loudly, thinking that this polite gesture would allow him to earn more money if people needed his help in the future!

She would use the money she earned to buy delicious food for her younger brother and raise him to be chubby and healthy.

Wen Luozhi returned the greeting without any hesitation, saying, "I'll definitely need your protection from now on, so please come often."

In business, connections are essential, and she needs connections from all directions so that she won't wander around aimlessly like a headless fly when problems arise.

Don't underestimate this lowly prefectural head; even if he wanted to stroll past the restaurant entrance every day, the local thugs wouldn't dare to cause trouble.

“I’ve been keeping a close eye on those guys for you last time. You can relax and do business at the shop,” Zou Ersheng said in a low voice.

Zou Ersheng wasn't the kind of person who would take money and do nothing; he still remembered what he was supposed to do with the money he received.

Wen Luozhi was stunned for a moment. She had almost forgotten about Zhang Yidao and his gang of weaklings. Although they were not to be feared, the kids were the most troublesome.

She turned and took a jar of Daughter's Red wine from the wine cabinet. "Brother, would you do me the honor of having this wine?"

Zou Ersheng, never one to mince words, picked it up with a smile and hugged it to his chest. "Every day I have a few brothers walk around the door a few times, and I guarantee no brats will come to cause trouble."

Since the boss is so good at handling things, he naturally has to show his appreciation too.

After personally seeing a few people out, Wen Luozhi quickly returned to the counter to pay the bill with Wen Zizhou.

The kitchen didn't have enough food, and Wen Zi'an and Sun Erlang had to make several more trips before they finally managed to make it past lunchtime.

Xie He shook her slightly sore arms, and Wen Luozhi took the spatula from her hand and made her sit down on a chair.

"Mom, you should rest first. There aren't many guests left outside. I'll take care of the rest." After saying that, she started cooking.

There are four people in the kitchen. Apart from Xie He, the others were trained with a lot of effort.

Although the others were already quite skilled, seeing Wen Luozhi cook made them realize they were far behind.

She was kicked out of the kitchen after cooking for a table of guests: "Have you ever seen a restaurant owner cook for someone else? Get out! I'll cook the rest."

Xie He saw that there was sweat on her forehead, so he quickly got up and pushed her out, telling her to go to the room on the third floor where they had eaten to rest.

After Wen Luozhi came out, she stood on the third floor and looked down. The first and second floors were quite spacious, and the tables were almost full today. Even with half price, the profits should be good.

After seeing off the last guest that evening, Wen Zizhou quickly closed the door and then slipped and fell to the ground.

Exhausted! So exhausted! He had been standing all day collecting money and doing arithmetic, his legs and hands were aching and cramping, and his face was even a little sore from smiling all day.

Wen Luozhi stretched his limbs, pulled him up from the ground, and pressed him into a chair. "We still need to calculate how much silver we earned today. Third Brother, don't fall asleep on the ground."

Having already spent the whole day collecting goods, a little more time wouldn't make a difference. Wen Zizhou took a sip of strong tea, picked up his abacus, and started calculating again.

After calculating twice and finding the result to be the same, he looked at the expectant eyes of everyone in the room and said in a trembling voice, "We...we made a net profit of two hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver today!"

The room fell silent immediately after these words. Xie He pinched Wen Zizhou's arm, her voice trembling slightly, "You...you brat, you're not kidding us, are you?!"

Wen Zizhou jumped up and hid behind Wen Luozhi when she pinched him painfully.

After finishing his calculations, he did it twice more using the method his sister had taught him, and both times it came back to 288! How could it be wrong?

If she's wrong, it's because my sister taught her wrong! Pinch her, pinch her!

Wen Luozhi stepped forward and took Xie He's arm, saying happily, "Third Brother was right! I've counted all the silver, and after deducting the miscellaneous expenses for buying groceries, it's exactly two hundred and eighty-eight taels."

“Not a penny less!” she said, giving Wen Zizhou a thumbs up.

This guy who used to be lazy and good-for-nothing is really getting more and more into things. As long as it's related to "doing business" or "making money," his mind works faster than anyone else's.

Wen Zizhou, having received his praise, proudly raised his head like a victorious rooster.

This little rascal pays him a base salary of ten taels a month, plus commission! She's got a conscience after all!

Actually, all the money he earns comes from his own family, and he would work hard even without wages!

Unfortunately, they needed him so much, there was nothing he could do!

Seeing that he was both nodding and shaking his head, Wen Luozhi knew he was getting cocky and wanted to tease him:

"I think Third Brother is too tired. I'll hire an accountant tomorrow."

Wen Zizhou, who had been floating on air, was immediately brought down. He ran over and tugged at her sleeve in a fawning manner, "Why hire an accountant? Third Brother loves doing that!"

These days, finding work outside is nowhere as easy as doing this every day, keeping an abacus and getting paid so much!

Wen Luozhi raised an eyebrow. This guy really needs to be pulled back from time to time, otherwise he might really drift away one day.

The family tidied up and rested in the room reserved on the third floor.

Zhou Yun took the first piece of cake she cut off with her.

Zhou Shen stared blankly at the cup in his hands, when Zhou Yun slapped him on the head. "Brother, if you keep looking at it like that and don't eat it, the cream on top will melt!"
