The Village Doctress Chapter 296: Gift
When Lin Fufu saw Liu Qin approaching again, he subconsciously took a step aside, but Liu Qin didn't seem to notice, and continued: "I went to take a look yesterday, and I saw that the business of the grocery store is still very good. Yes, but the business of the garment store is not very good. You should stop doing the garment business and do something else."
"Don't underestimate the ready-to-wear shop. Although it doesn't look like a mountain dew, food, clothing, housing and transportation rank second. This is a business that can make money." Lin Fufu rejected his proposal.
Liu Qin paused, but Lin Fufu kept walking.
Looking at Lin Fufu's back, Liu Qin shook his head with a wry smile, "This little girl really can't change her attitude of not hitting the south wall and not looking back."
There are more customers for the lunch on New Year's Eve, and many of them are repeat customers, because if you want to eat hot pot again, you will only have to wait until the next year.
Lin Fufu took the time to look at the grocery store and the ready-to-wear store. The business was pretty good.
Just as Lin Fufu was about to leave the grocery store, the old shopkeeper she had hired came out from behind the counter and called out to her.
"My boss, my boss, don't rush away." The old shopkeeper looked at Lin Fufu and said anxiously.
Lin Fufu stopped, and asked with a smile: "Han Dongjia, what's the matter with you calling me?"
"Boss, I was about to quit this job with you." Dongjia Han looked at Lin Fufu with some embarrassment.
Lin Fufu was taken aback.
The old shopkeeper Han is from Qinglian County. He used to be the second shopkeeper in a large shop in the provincial capital.
For those introduced by acquaintances, Lin Fufu is also very relieved, and the salary is not a lot, five taels of silver a month, and promises that if the business is good, there will be bonuses at the end of the year.
So Lin Fufu is not sure why the shopkeeper Han wants to quit this job.
"Why?" Lin Fufu asked.
She has opened several shops in a row, and the manpower is not enough, especially the shopkeepers with good ethics are not easy to find.
"Boss, let me tell you the truth. Didn't you offend Mr. Jiang San when your restaurant just opened? That person can't be offended. The little old man has heard the rumors, you, Let's find a relationship and spend some money to buy peace." The old shopkeeper Han looked around and no one was paying attention, so he pulled Lin Fufu to the corner and whispered.
After saying this, Lin Fufu understood that the shopkeeper Han Da was avoiding disaster.
But it also implies a message to her, Jiang San still won't let her go to Liu Ji Restaurant.
Lin Fufu's eyes turned cold, and then he asked the shopkeeper Han in a soft voice, "Shopkeeper, our Liuji Restaurant did not offend Mr. Jiang, why did you hate going to our Liuji Restaurant?" He said: "The last time he came to open for business, we also entertained him with good wine and good food. When Mr. Jiang left, he also said that he would come to Liuji Restaurant in the future to cheer him up. Many old customers present have heard this. "
Seeing Lin Fu asking such a question, shopkeeper Han Da couldn't help but secretly sighed inwardly. Seeing that although she had earned a lot of money in the past few days, she still respected the big shopkeepers, so he wanted to give her some advice. .
It turns out that the shopkeeper Han and the Jiang family are somewhat related, and he has already received the news from Jiang San that he can no longer be the big shopkeeper on Lin Fufu's side. A monthly salary of five taels of silver and a year-end bonus, but the Jiang family still has few people in Qinglian County who dare to mess with it, and he can't do anything about it.
"Boss, you are young and don't know the ways of the world. You are foreigners. Before you come to Qinglian County to do business, you should take some money to take care of those officials." He looked at Lin Fufu with regret.
Only then did Lin Fufu understand.
It's not that Jiang San wants to punish her Liu Ji Restaurant and her, it's clearly Jiang County Cheng's old fox who wants to punish her.
It's because she didn't take the money to deal with the people in the county government. Now that she sees that the businesses in her family's shops are doing well, she wants to knock her out.
Although old shopkeeper Han resigned, he actually used old shopkeeper Han to deliver a letter to her, which can be regarded as beating her and Liu Qin.
Lin Fufu figured out this joint, and sneered in his heart.
She didn't intend to give this lucky money.
If Jiang County Cheng and his gang want to make trouble for her, they should do so.
If she can't even deal with a bunch of small seven-rank sesame officials, how can the business get bigger?
If this official wants to give money, and that official also wants to give money, her business will be busy for those officials.
Of course, it may be given away in the future, but it is definitely not given to those seventh-rank sesame officials who do not do good deeds and only want to make money.
She is not used to their stinky habits!
Of course, this does not give money, but you can also give them something else to keep their mouths shut.
She has already thought about these things, and the present is also ready, and it is placed in the back warehouse of the restaurant.
However, the treasurer of Han Da can't stay anymore. Although Lin Fufu doesn't blame him for being in a catastrophe and going away separately, for a big shopkeeper who doesn't trust her at all, it's better to leave earlier.
"Boss shopkeeper, since you are leaving, Gospel will not keep you. After all, everyone has their own ambitions." Lin Fufu raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at shopkeeper Han Da, "Today is the big shopkeeper. On New Year's Eve, even though the shopkeeper has only worked for less than three days, I will still pay you one month's wages. Because the business has been very good these few days, I will give you another twenty taels of silver The bonus is for the shopkeeper."
After three days of doing it, I got twenty-five taels of silver. Even though the shopkeeper Han Da is older and more calm and sophisticated, he still smiles and squints his old eyes.
He thanked Lin Fufu repeatedly, but he was still a little disappointed.
Because Lin Fufu did not reveal to him that he would send money to the government office.
It was time for the restaurant to close, Lin Fen sent someone to inform Lin Fufu, and Lin Fufu informed the grocery store that it was also closed.
He personally took the silver to the shopkeeper Han Da, and personally sent the shopkeeper Han Da who had packed up earlier out of the shop. And dividends were also issued.
Same as shopkeeper Han Da's, it's also twenty-five taels of silver.
Although shopkeeper Cao Da is only in his forties, he is much calmer than shopkeeper Han Da. Although he is happy that he got twenty-five taels after working for two and a half days, there is no joy on his face. color.
Just sincerely thanked Lin Fufu and expressed his loyalty, and he will definitely do a good job in the future.
Gospel Lin wanted this attitude too.
After returning to the restaurant again, Lin Fen and Liu Qin were checking accounts.
"How's the accounting going?" Lin Fufu asked.
"That's it." Lin Fen smiled and looked up at Lin Fufu.
"Stop it, we're going to eat right now, the carriage is ready. After we finish eating, we'll take stock of the rest." Lin Fufu greeted.
Liu Qin stopped fiddling with the abacus as soon as he heard it, and walked out of the counter with a smile.
Lin Fufu just looked at him and smiled, and said, "Hey, brother Liu, it's hard work for you to eat lunch now."
"Why?" Liu Qin was amazed, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Fufu in surprise.
"Go and send the New Year's gifts to the officials and lords in the county. Wouldn't it be more sincere for you to send them here without lunch?" Lin Fufu laughed.
But my heart is extremely tired.
"Give a gift to the official?" Lin Fen frowned when he heard this, and said with a somewhat unsightly expression: "Then it must be a gift for the old and the young?"
Liu Qin snorted coldly, "One thousand taels is not too much for a family, and ten thousand taels is not too much. How much do you think is appropriate?"
Ten thousand taels of silver is not too much for a family? Lin Fufu's eyes flickered. Isn't the family of these officials and masters in Qinglian County extremely rich?
Lin Fufu also wanted to know how other merchants gave gifts, so he asked, "How much does Chang Ning's family give to those officials every year?"
The corners of Liu Qin's lips curled into a sarcasm, and he sneered, "The Chinese New Year is the biggest festival, and if the family doesn't send five or six thousand taels of silver, I'm ashamed to make a move."
"Five or six thousand taels of silver for a family? Then...then if we follow suit, then...our two and a half days will be for nothing!" Lin Fen's little face turned red with anger.
It's really not an exaggeration, a county is ranked seventh, and at least two small officials from the seventh rank get at least two. These two must be given away. There are also a few small officials of the eighth rank and the ninth rank, so they have to give gifts, and it really took two and a half days for nothing.
Liu Qin's expression was not good.
He glanced at Lin Fufu, hesitated to speak.
Originally, he thought that the character of Lin Gospel would not give gifts to those corrupt officials.
But now it seems that he still doesn't know her very well.
But Liu Qin also knew in his heart that Lin Fufu couldn't be blamed for this. As a little girl, she went on for business, and it was not easy to think of giving gifts to those officials.
"Okay, take care of it, I'll go right away. The money will be taken from the account at the restaurant." Liu Qin pondered for a while, then raised his head to look at Lin Fufu, this time his expression was unusually calm and serious.
Lin Fufu nodded, "Of course it has to be taken from the account of the restaurant. But it's not much, it's only two or three hundred taels of silver."
Hearing Lin Fufu said that the total was only two or three hundred taels of silver, and Lin Fen paid it back, Liu Qin almost choked to death on his own spit.
"What? What did you say, Gospel, you heard what I said just now, do you think you can do it with a total of two or three hundred taels of silver? Those officials won't even take a look, when you It’s for beggars.”
Lin Fufu said confidently: "Don't worry, Brother Liu. I know it very well." Then he turned to face Xiao Feng who was waiting for orders, "Xiao Feng, go to the warehouse and take my son back. Bring the tin box that came back here."
Xiao Feng went immediately.
Both Liu Qin and Lin Fen looked at Lin Fufu, wondering what kind of medicine Lin Fufu sold in this gourd.
"Gospel, what are you?" Lin Fen couldn't help asking.
"I'll find out later." Lin Fufu pressed his hand towards Lin Fen, signaling her to be calm.
"Girl, here it is." Xiao Feng quickly came over with a three-foot-square tin box.
Lin Fen and Liu Qin's eyes were glued to the iron box.
