Chapter 108: Someone from Beijing
With two helpers, their work became much easier. They only needed to stand by and collect coins and settle accounts.
They recruited these two guys in town. They thought it was just a simple shop and they wouldn't be very busy. But they didn't expect that it was only the first day and they didn't even have a break to catch their breath the whole morning.
This business was better than any shop they had worked in before, and this was just selling two simple items.
Looking at the shopkeeper who was collecting money with a smile, the two men couldn't help but be amazed. This shop was actually opened by a young man. He really has talent.
After a busy morning, most of the staff were gone by noon and a few of them finally had a chance to catch their breath.
Jiang Shian took out the delivery list that he had urged for several times before and took a look at it. These were all wanted by the wealthy families in the town, and they did not simply order one or two boxes, but mostly dozens of boxes.
He will prepare the goods and have two guys deliver them to the door later.
In this way, they were busy until the end of noon. People who came to buy things went home to eat and came back again. By the time they saw the last person off, they were already starving.
Both guys were strong and sturdy, but now they were so tired that they could hardly lift their arms.
There is a kitchen behind their shop. Jiang Shian had hired an aunt to cook early in the morning. The aunt had come to urge them several times, but seeing that they were always busy, she could only heat the food on the stove.
Now that she had finally finished her work, the fat aunt set up the table and invited them to eat first.
"Oh, I'm finally done. I couldn't help but eat first." She served everyone a bowl of golden and fragrant chicken soup, and sighed, "This business is too good. I think most of the people in town are here. This is not even the big market. If it were a big market, I would be busy from morning till night."
Jiang Shian forced a smile on his face, "We're going to have to work hard these few days, Auntie, please buy some good vegetables and meat. We have to eat well so we have the strength to work, right?"
"Okay, I'll listen to the boss." The fat aunt responded with a smile.
If the boss asks her to do a better job, she can also benefit from it and get more money.
The two waiters who were originally too tired to muster any energy immediately became energetic when they saw the table full of dishes. Shop workers like them only got so little wages a day, and the better shopkeepers had a kitchen behind them, and at least they would be provided with a meal no matter how good or bad it was.
Those who are a little stingy won't even provide that little bit of food, so they can only go home or eat something casually. They didn't expect that the food in this new restaurant is so good, with both meat and vegetables, and each bowl is quite large.
The two of them still had the most basic etiquette. Although they were holding bowls, they had not moved their chopsticks and were looking straight at Jiang Shian.
Jiang Shian smiled at them and said, "You're welcome. You've been tired all morning. Eat more. We still have to help deliver the goods in the afternoon."
"Okay, thank you, boss." The two of them stopped being polite and started to feast on the food.
Jiang Shian was also tired and hungry, but the money he earned this morning made him excited. He raised his bowl to eat and picked up some food for Ji Yinghuai.
"This tastes pretty good, try it!"
"This pork belly is also delicious, not too dry or greasy!"
The two guys sitting at the table felt a little bright above their heads, and looked at Ji Yinghuai with a hint of envy in their eyes. Look at this guy, he is good at business and so considerate, this is a blessing that they have cultivated for several lifetimes, why can't they meet such a person.
While they were eating, the fat aunt went to the back to clean up the house. They had already prepared a simple bed and some supplies, so they just needed to clean it up before they could move in.
While we were eating, people came to the door from time to time to buy things. Fortunately, it was not as busy as in the morning. A few people took turns going out to greet them and the meal was finished.
In the afternoon, two guys were going to deliver goods. When they were told the location and the resident's surname, it was very familiar to the two guys who were born and raised in the town. The two guys took the list and set off immediately.
The two of them watched in the store and calculated the goods and money sold in the morning.
Because of his offer of a box of soap for every 200 coins spent, many people thought that this kind of thing was a must-have and bought more to keep, since it wouldn't go bad anyway.
Overall, business was booming this morning.
There will be a big market tomorrow, and people from several villages will come to the market. They have a good location, and the promotion of their toothbrushes and tooth powders was good before, so there will surely be more people coming.
"I hope there will be more traveling merchants like these, then I will make a fortune." Jiang Shian said with a smile.
Ji Yinghuai paused as he was fiddling with the abacus. Of course he didn't know how to use it to do calculations. The two waiters had already figured out the accounts in the morning. Now he was just fiddling with it out of boredom.
Upon hearing Jiang Shian's words, his face turned cold. This was not the first time the young man had mentioned Liu Chengqi, but every time he mentioned him, he did so with anticipation.
It was as if he was particularly looking forward to meeting the other party as soon as possible. Although he knew that was not his intention, he could not stop feeling jealous.
There are so many people coming and going on the street outside, it's really inconvenient to do anything.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he thought to himself that he would just endure it for the time being and pretend that he didn't hear it. There would be plenty of opportunities to make it up in the future.
What he was thinking in his mind was one thing, but his expression did not relax. The corners of his mouth were tense and there was no smile on his face.
Jiang Shian observed Ji Yinghuai's expression as he spoke. He did it on purpose. Ever since he found out that Ji Yinghuai was jealous of Liu Chengqi last time, he wanted to see how long a man could stay jealous.
Seeing Ji Yinghuai's tight lips, Jiang Shian laughed secretly in his heart.
Well, he is a little bad. I didn't feel jealous when I saw Ji Yinghuai's expression. I am not such a petty person. He just felt itchy and wanted to tease him more and make this man show more expressions on his face.
It's okay to tease, but it's not good to tease too much. Seeing Ji Yinghuai staring at him, his eyes changed from jealous to dark and deep, as if he was staring at some prey, he immediately retracted his gaze and said with a flattering smile: "He is also our first big customer. When we get married in the future, remember to give him an invitation."
Ji Yinghuai raised his eyebrows, his expression instantly turned from gloomy to bright, and the dark color in his eyes disappeared in an instant: "Of course."
Seeing how quickly his expression changed, Jiang Shian laughed in his heart without showing it on his face.
So interesting!
The two were chatting and laughing when a strange voice suddenly sounded at the door.
"Excuse me, is this the shop of Shopkeeper Jiang, Jiang Shian?"
