It''s not that Li Haitang never thought about rectifying Yaohua Zhai. When she first took over, she made drastic reforms, fearing that the people inside would not adapt, and they would be passive and sabotage, which would affect her business.
She had no one in her hand, especially few who knew how to read the ount books. She sent a letter to Lin Wanjiu in Lucheng to ask the family toe to the capital. It would take at least two months for the other party to receive the letter and then go on their way.
Before people arrived, the shop followed the original model, and when she was pregnant, she was lying in bed all day, Xiao Lingchuan didn''t let her worry about it, even he helped to read the ount books of the restaurant.
But in the past two months, the shop with a monthly ie of 10,000 taels suddenly turned into a profit of 200 taels.
"Nurse Yu, what''s going on? Are you hiding something from me?"
Li Haitang was suspicious. Thest time Fang Shaoyao and Lin Wan came to visit with small snacks, the two of them were mysterious and changed the subject whenever they mentioned business. At that time, she thought that Lin Wan''s business was not good, so she didn''t think much about it.
Looking back on the expressions of the two of them now, it is clear that they know something.
"This... the master won''t let me talk about it."
It is true that the wife is in charge of the family, but who dare not listen to the words of the master?
Nanny Yu grabbed the handkerchief and was worried. Anyway, Madam will know sooner orter when she goes out.
"At the beginning of the month, there was a youngdy from a family in Kyoto who used Yaohuazhai''s rouge powder to rot her face..."
That youngdy was originally beautiful, but she had a lot of pustules-like things on her face, densely packed, she got up to go to the toilet at night, when the maid saw her, she screamed and passed out.
As soon as the youngdy looked in the mirror, she immediately fainted.
After waking up, it was as if he had gone crazy, tearing his hair, and his spirit was not normal.
Good things don''t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, let alone a beauty.
The youngdy''s family learned that they went to Yaohuazhai and took people to do odd jobs. It is said that Yaohuazhai''s master master has no choice.
That youngdyes to make trouble once a day, and there are many shops around, and everyone whoes to shop knows about it, so who would buy it in the shop?
The face is the appearance, and the unmarried youngdy only cares about the face. Now she has suffered a big blow, and in a rage, she sues Yaohuazhai to the Jingzhaoyi Yamen.
After Zhang Zheng epted it, he was extremely embarrassed. Thedy''s name was Ruyue, Zhang Zheng''s niece and Zhang Ruyi''s cousin. The Zhang family specially sent someone to say hello, and they must make the owner of Yaohuazhai and the master of rouge and gouache look good!
No, the officials sent to arrest people, and Yaohua Zhai closed for a few days.
Even if this is the case, it is not enough to make a profit of two hundred and two taels. The ountant and the staff must take advantage of this opportunity to rob and leave.
"I haven''t heard a whiff of it."
Li Haitang didn''t care too much about the fact that the shop was earned for nothing and was not well managed, and always maintained a normal heart.
However, the people behind the scenes were clearly doing what they were doing, and it was obvious that they were behind the scenes. She didn''t like being tripped up by people, and always wanted to catch that person out.
Could it be the Chen family?
Li Haitang was the first to suspect Chen Shi. Yaohuazhai took over from Chen Shi. Chen Shi was very clear about some details. Yao Huazhai made so much money, so he gave it to her so easily?
Subsequently, Li Haitang denied this idea.
If Mrs. Chen wanted to take people away, there was no need to do so. Yao Hua Zhai had a bad reputation and involved the master chefs in the shop. Even if Mrs. Chen invited people over, no one woulde to buy things.
Besides, Li Haitang indirectly helped the Du family a lot, and the other party had no reason to frame her.
The victim was Miss Zhang''s family, so it was a coincidence that she and Zhang Zheng were on opposite sides?
"Then, how did you solve it?"
During this period of time, Li Haitang was so well protected that she didn''t know anything about it and waspletely kept in the dark.
"The old ve also heard what Mother Fang said."
Nanny Yu shook her head with a confused look on her face.
Li Haitang finished his meal with a heavy heart, wiped off his sweat with a handkerchief, and asked Wu Fu to find Li Short Legs.
It just so happened that Li Short Legs was on Zhuangzi, and when he learned that his wife was looking for him, he came very quickly.
Those who are going to get married are always in good spirits on happy asions, and they walk with the wind. Li Kuang legs straighten his back, and he winks at Chunmei when he enters the door. Chunmei blushes in the heat and bows her head.
The two of them met in secret, and Li Haitang noticed it, so she asked first, "Guard Li, is something wrong with Yaohuazhai?"
"Ma''am, do you understand?"
After Li Kuangji finished speaking, he immediately realized that such an answer was tantamount to acquiescing, and secretly hated himself for being told by his wife again.
"It was a small matter, and it has been resolved now."
After giving a sum of money to thedy of the Zhang family, the Zhang family stopped, but after the ident in Yaohuazhai, there was no one there, so he went to look around, and the servants in the shop dozed off lying on the table.
Come in the morning, start to sleep, sleep until closing time, and go home.
It is good to have a business in a day.
All the people whoe to the store to shop are rich people, so they are not short of that kind ofpensation, but if they really use up their face, it will be ruined for a lifetime.
Hearing that the youngdy of the Zhang family won the title of the most ugly girl in Kyoto and was ridiculed when she went out, Zhang Ruyue was so angry that she passed out.
Yaohuazhai''s rouge gouache can not only make people beautiful, but also make people angry with ugly people. It is so prized that no one will use it.
The master chefs in the shop were also anxious, and publicly lowered the price. Doesn''t this mean telling everyone that there is something wrong with Yaohuazhai''s rouge?
In short, within a few days, there was a lot of spection, and Yaohuazhai''s reputation plummeted.
It is not bad to have a profit of 200 taels on the book, and the shoppensated Zhang Ruyue with 30,000 taels of silver.
Zhang Ruyue was still dissatisfied, and went to the gate of Yao Huazhai every now and then, since the high gates in Kyoto knew that she was disfigured, they simply broke the jars and smashed them, so that Yao Huazhai could not get any benefit.
When she made a fuss, anyone who wanted to buy rouge would stay away.
"Ma''am, we can only close Yaohuazhai, start from scratch, and make a new living."
Li Short Legs sighed, the door has been open for a few days this month, and the gouache sold is not enough for the workers'' wages, and it may be negative at the end of the month.
"no."
Li Haitang immediately denied it, closed Yaohua Zhai, and changed to another business, the location remained the same.
Then the owner behind it is her, and doing business will greatly affect her integrity. Besides, it is necessary to investigate clearly what''s going on, whether someone inside secretly framed the shop, or Miss Zhang Ruyue''s skin is allergic.
If it''s an allergy, why should the family pay 30,000 taels of silver and treat her as being taken advantage of?
This matter must not be left alone! Must get to the bottom of it.
Her food shop is exhausting for a month, everyone works together, divides thebor and cooperates, and earns only one thousand eight hundred taels, thirty thousand taels. How many years will she work for free? Li Haitang disagreed, there must be an exnation for the matter, and the responsibility should be traced to the individual. If Yaohuazhai cannot be opened, it will not affect other businesses in the future.
