Chapter 151 Imperial Edict

Nanny Li and Shopkeeper Cui put down their work and concentrated on counting the money and bills received today.

Because it was the opening day, grandmother and the third prince's tables paid their own bills, saying it was a good start and for good luck, so Nanny Li gave them a 20% discount.

In addition, the table of several noble gentlemen paid five taels of silver as compensation for tableware and no discount was given, while the other tables all got a 20% discount.

Even so, the more Nanny Li and Shopkeeper Cui calculated, the more surprised they were. The turnover for one meal was 152 taels, 800 wen.

No one could believe this. Shopkeeper Cui checked the previous account books and it seemed that the daily income was 17 or 18 taels, and the most in one day was only about 21 or 22 taels.

I didn't expect that the county lady's restaurant earned as much in half a day as others did in eight or nine days. What a concept.

The two of them were so happy that they stuttered: "County, County Master, calculate, calculate, calculate it."

While the two of them were settling accounts, Zheng Sisi's eyes never left the imperial edict.

She exclaimed inwardly: "This is truly a rare antique!" The imperial edict was a bright and solemn yellow hue all over, as if exuding the majesty and dignity of the royal family.

If you take it in your hand and observe it carefully, you can find that it is made of extremely fine and soft silk. This material is not only smooth to the touch, but also has good durability. It can withstand the baptism of time without fading or damage. What is more eye-catching is that a lifelike golden dragon is carefully embroidered on the imperial edict with gold thread. This golden dragon is majestic and majestic, and every dragon scale is clearly visible. Its exquisite craftsmanship is breathtaking.

Zheng Sisi could not help but be deeply attracted by this work of art. At the same time, she thought to herself, "If I were to auction this imperial edict in modern times, would the proceeds be enough to allow me to live comfortably for the rest of my life?"

Just thinking about it makes me laugh. Then I turned the page to read what was written inside. The first half of the imperial edict praised myself to the skies, and Zheng Sisi felt ashamed after reading it.

The second half is the title of Anping County Lord. I don't know what the meaning of this name is. And the fiefdom, which is the most real one?

Zheng Sisi also learned from previous novels and TV dramas that with a title and a fiefdom, not only can the imperial court pay salaries, but one can also receive taxes from the fiefdom.

Zheng Sisi was having so much fun that she was almost lost when she suddenly heard the stuttering voice of Shopkeeper Cui.

She put down the imperial edict in her hand and asked, "Manager Cui, what's wrong with you? Why are you stuttering?"

Shopkeeper Cui calmed down and said slowly, "County Lady, the accounts have been calculated. We have made 152 taels and 800 coins in half a day today."

Zheng Sisi nodded: "It's reasonable. Excluding the cost of raw materials, seasonings, firewood, labor costs, house depreciation, etc., it's still possible to make a hundred taels."

The two men saw that the county lady was so calm, as if it was all within her expectations.

Shopkeeper Cui said: "This is already a lot, seven or eight times more than what this store had before."

Zheng Sisi said: "That's because they have run this store badly. We should compare it with other stores that are doing well."

Manager Cui said, "According to my understanding, the best business day for a restaurant of the same size as ours is about 70 to 80 taels. That's only half of ours, and we've only been open for half a day."

Zheng Sisi scratched her head and said, that’s right, it can’t be compared with modern consumption levels.

She said: "You are right, we can't ask for too much. We should prepare a little more food tomorrow. In three or four days, there won't be so many customers.

Madam Li, Manager Cui, please do a statistics. Everyone who is on duty today and everyone who comes to help in the store will receive a bonus. Today is the opening day of the restaurant, and I have been conferred the title of county lady. Since the circumstances are special, I will give each person 500 coins.

After returning home, Nanny Li counted all the people in the mansion and gave each person 500 coins.

When I have time, I will formulate a reward and punishment system. In the future, the employees on duty will be rewarded with a certain amount of money based on the daily turnover, so as to promote everyone’s enthusiasm.”
