Chapter 729: Chapter 734: I’m Still Here!_1
Everyone had been busy all the way until the evening when they finally caught their breath.
That night, in order to reward everyone, Qiao Duo’er specially arranged for First Rank Building to deliver two tables full of food and dishes.
"Yin Ge, come and eat with us," Qiao Duo’er called out.
The girl was very earnest. After explaining that incident, she also helped to attend to the guests, so naturally, Qiao Duo’er wouldn’t shortchange her.
Yin Ge felt very uneasy. Her Madam had caused such a big blunder today; how could she have the face to eat at someone else’s place?
Da Niu didn’t bother with explanations and dragged her over: "When the boss gives an order, do you dare to refuse? If it weren’t for the fact that you are the Zhao Family’s maid, I would have brought you over here to work."
"Really? My servitude contract is almost up!" Yin Ge was a bit flustered.
She had sold herself for five years and only had two months left until the contract ended.
Although she was well-clothed and fed in a wealthy family, she was, after all, serving others, and always felt somewhat inferior.
So she hadn’t planned on renewing the contract and hadn’t expected anyone to say this.
However, after speaking, Yin Ge regretted it. Perhaps they were just being polite. How could she so readily take them up on it?
Da Niu nodded: "Then come to me when the time comes. With you here, you can also teach us some manners."
She had clearly felt that Yin Ge’s way of serving guests was much more meticulous than theirs and her behavior more appropriate. They, as country girls, really should learn properly.
Yin Ge nodded vigorously; she liked it here very much, far more comfortable than her days as a maid.
Duo’er gave Da Niu a thumbs up. It was a major merit for her to see her own shortcomings, and just for this, the supervisor hadn’t made the wrong choice.
Da Niu couldn’t help blushing. Why hadn’t she asked Duo’er for her opinion?
In the future, she must change this habit. Duo’er was her friend, but even more so, her boss.
After everyone ate and drank their fill, they went back to rest contentedly.
This was just the first day; busier days were still to come.
Qiao Duo’er was also quite exhausted, but she still had to count the silver and inventory with Tan Zhenghong.
Today, a total of five hundred and some embroidery pieces were sold, along with two hundred and some boxes of skincare products, making the total sales three hundred and fifty-some taels.
After deducting the costs of the finished products, the net profit was three hundred taels.
Qiao Duo’er, squinting her eyes, said, "At this rate, we’ll soon become big landlords!"
After the grand opening’s rush, prices should stabilize at around one hundred and fifty taels, which already met her expectations. 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
Tan Zhenghong nodded his approval, but it was all thanks to his talented wife!
Yet worries also arose. At this rate of sale, the stock would be lucky to last half a month.
The Embroidery Room had to be expanded, and some high-quality Embroidery Ladies recruited.
And the dried flowers, buying from others wasn’t a long-term solution.
Not to mention the high prices, the quality couldn’t be guaranteed, so she wanted to start her own flower field exclusively for Duo Meifang.
That very night, Qiao Duo’er and Tan Zhenghong discussed buying another property in town to set up as the Embroidery Room, hoping to hire some skilled Embroidery Ladies from Jiangnan.
As for the flower field, they would entrust it to Aunt Huang, who had always grown vegetables to supply her own shop, but now that the shop was gone, vegetables were no longer an option. Planting flowers now would kill two birds with one stone.
To get all these things on track, it would probably take quite some time.
Qiao Duo’er, resting her chin in her hand, said, "Suddenly, I feel like my life is tied down by these few shops."
This wasn’t the life she wanted!
"Don’t you have me? I just haven’t done much business before, and I might not think things through completely. Give it some time, and I’ll be able to handle it," said Tan Zhenghong, patting his chest. At that point, his wife would only need to live the life she wanted.
The rest would be up to him!
