Chapter 284 Rewarding Subordinates (2 in 1)
Shan Xi walked out of Chixiao Courtyard with a bitter look on his face.
Alas, even such a powerful sister-in-law can’t do anything about it, who else can she turn to for help?
Are you really going to find your grandmother?
Shan Xi shook her head. Even her sister-in-law didn't stand on her side, let alone her grandmother.
I'm afraid my grandmother will be more active than my mother.
Xiaoxi and Xiaole saw their young lady like this and they didn't know how to persuade her.
In their hearts, getting married is a good thing!
A woman can only be happy if she gets married. No one can stay at home forever. They don't understand why their daughter is so unwilling.
Shan Xi left Chixiao Courtyard, but didn't want to go back to his own courtyard, so he wandered aimlessly in the general's mansion.
She is the eldest daughter of the mansion, and there is no place in the mansion that she cannot go.
As she was walking around, she heard the soft sound of someone reading.
"When a person is born, his nature is good. Natures are similar, but habits make them different. If there is no teaching, nature will change..."
This voice is... Xiao Yu'er? !
Out of curiosity, Shan Xi quickened his pace and headed towards the direction of the sound.
In the pavilion in the garden where she had met Shen Ziyun before, she saw two people, one big and one small, standing in the pavilion.
That little person was naturally Xiao Yuer. He was still reciting a book in his mouth, and he was very serious about every word.
Shan Xi also recognized the tall figure, it was Shen Ziyun.
He still had a mask on his face.
But what was different from before was that the mask on his face was only half, covering his eyebrows and most of the left face.
Unlike before, the whole face was covered by the mask. Nothing could be seen except the eyes.
Shan Xi thought her movements were very gentle, but both Shen Mozhu and Xiao Yuer heard her movements. They all stopped and looked at her.
Shan Xi was a little embarrassed by the actions of the two people, one big and one small. She couldn't hide any longer, so she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her chest, then smiled awkwardly and said hello, "Hey, hello."
"Pretty auntie, why are you here?" Xiao Yuer was the first to greet her.
"I'm just strolling around. You guys continue, continue." Shan Xi still felt very embarrassed for disturbing others.
"Meet the young lady." Shen Mozhu probably knew the identity of the woman in front of him. She could come and go freely in this mansion, and even brought a maid with her. She must be the young lady of this general's mansion.
He turned towards her and bowed.
"Don't be so polite. I'm sorry for disturbing you." Shan Xi was even more at a loss.
"Pretty auntie, do you want to recite with me?" Xiao Yuer invited warmly.
Here, he was the only one reciting his lessons, and he was feeling a little bored. So his pretty aunt came and she could recite with him.
You can also compare who can recite it better.
"No need! No need! Just recite it. Recite it well, and I'll give you a reward if you do well." Shan Xi hastily refused.
She was so tired of memorizing, she had always been very annoyed with memorizing. Now that she finally didn't have to memorize anymore, she didn't want to go back.
"Well, you guys are busy, I'm leaving. Goodbye!" After saying that, he ran away.
It seems that the shadow of this endorsement is really too big.
"My dear, does your pretty aunt seem very scared? Is memorizing really that scary?" Xiao Yu'er asked when he saw Shan Xi running away.
Ever since Shen Mozhu met Xiao Yuer, he asked him to call him "big friend". Later, when he started to teach him, he did not ask him to change his way of addressing him and call him "teacher".
With his current status, if I call him teacher, it will probably bring him trouble. It's fine this way.
"Everyone is afraid of different things. Maybe the young lady is afraid of endorsement." Shen Mozhu could only explain to Xiao Yuer like this.
There are too many things said, and Xiaoyuer can’t understand them at the moment.
Oh, is that so? Xiao Yuer nodded, not quite understanding. Then he continued reciting the book he had not finished.
I have to say that Song Qingci is very good at employing people.
Thanks to the efforts of Song Xin and his team, Moon Viewing Tower has created an ice cream season.
At the same time, three series of products were launched: cold pot skewers, fruit smoothies and premium cold food banquets.
This move instantly restored the business of the Moon Viewing Tower to its best time.
Not only that, there is also a subtle trend of surpassing it.
For a time, the whole capital was talking about the ice cream season at the Moon Viewing Tower.
Inside the Prince Wu's Mansion.
A man with triangular eyes and a flat nose was kneeling on the ground, and above him sat a woman who was dressed elegantly and delicately.
"Cousin! I really don't know where they get their ice from. If we don't think of a solution, our Xiaohuilou will not be able to continue operating."
This man with triangular eyes and a flat nose is a distant cousin of Liu from the Wu Wangfu. He is also the shopkeeper of Xiaohuilou.
He was also the one who caused trouble for the Moon Viewing Tower before.
Ever since the Moon Viewing Tower was renovated, business has been getting better and better.
However, the business of their Xiaohuilou is getting worse day by day.
That spicy hot pot is loved by everyone, from high-ranking officials to peddlers.
He also sent people to buy it himself, and it tasted really good. He was almost addicted to it.
Moreover, that taste cannot be imitated by their own chefs.
I have no idea what seasoning they used.
Their own chef has tried no less than a hundred times, but simply cannot produce a similar taste.
During this period, he also hired people to poach employees.
However, this time, no matter how he threatened or lured them, he really failed to poach the person. Not only that, the person who was sent out to poach the person also broke his leg for no apparent reason.
From then on, he no longer dared to act rashly.
Finally, the weather got hot, and the spicy hotpot was not selling well. He thought Xiaohuilou's opportunity had come.
However, the joy had only lasted a few days before the Moon Viewing Tower started an ice cream season, and business suddenly exploded.
The temperature in Xiaohui Building, which had just warmed up a little, suddenly became unbearable again.
He really had no other choice but to come to his cousin.
Although the relationship is somewhat distant, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is real.
Xiaohuilou’s poor business had a direct impact on the income of him, the princess’s cousin.
"Didn't you go and ask around?" Princess Wu Liu was very impatient. Recently, a little demon was brought into the palace, and she was worrying about how to deal with her. Her mind was not on the matter of Xiaohui Tower at all.
"Of course I asked, but I found nothing."
When Manager Wang learned that the Moon Viewing Tower was holding an ice cream festival, he sent people to inquire about it, but found nothing.
Even the people sent out to keep watch disappeared inexplicably.
"Everyone knows how precious ice is in summer. Even if the Moon Viewing Tower doesn't care about the cost, it still needs to have so much ice to use. Moreover, I've seen that their ice products are not expensive. The cold pot skewers are only one cent more expensive than the spicy hot pot. The price of the shaved ice also varies from a dozen to more than a hundred cents depending on the different combinations. The price of the cold feast is only less than 20% more expensive than the previously popular Champion Feast."
"If we sell ice at this price from an ice house, we will definitely lose a lot of money. A piece of ice sold in an ice house costs several taels of silver. Ordinary people can't afford it. What's more, which ice house can sell so much ice to them? The daily ice consumption of this Moon Viewing Tower is at least 40 or 50 pieces, according to preliminary estimates." Shopkeeper Wang is not doing nothing.
He also sent people to inquire at the ice cream parlors, but they found out that none of them sold ice to the Moon Viewing Tower.
Moreover, the ice in the ice room is limited. The summer is long and at least forty or fifty blocks of ice are used a day. I am afraid that all the people combined cannot afford it.
"You are the shopkeeper of Xiaohuilou, so you should be in charge of Xiaohuilou's affairs. If you can't do a good job, I don't mind replacing you." Liu of Wuwangfu's palace had run out of patience.
She had been listening to him babble for a long time.
She gave him the responsibility for all the business matters. If he couldn't do it well, she would replace him with someone who could do it well. She was only responsible for collecting money, and other matters were not her responsibility. She didn't want to worry about it, otherwise why would she pay the shopkeeper to do it?
"Cousin!" Shopkeeper Wang came here to seek advice, but he did not expect to receive such an answer.
Wu Wangfu Liu waved her hand to stop him from continuing, "I don't care what you do. I only care about the results."
At this time, a maid ran quickly to Liu's side and whispered in her ear.
Princess Liu of Prince Wu's face turned visibly worse. After the maid finished speaking, she stood up suddenly, stretched out her hand and swept the tea set beside her to the ground.
He cursed, "That little devil has so many tricks! I want to see if she can come up with any tricks!"
After saying this, she no longer cared about Manager Wang and left in a hurry with her maid.
Only the shopkeeper Wang was left with a look of despair.
Do we really have to use that method? !
After the ice cream season at the Moon Viewing Tower started, Song Qingci went there on purpose.
She mainly wanted to see how Song Xin and his group were doing. Unexpectedly, the results were better than she had expected.
Not only did they launch the ice cream season as a gimmick, but they also organized various activities.
For example, if you buy a supreme smoothie, you can get two free cold food skewers. Or if you buy 20 or more cold food skewers, you can exchange for one free cold food skewers.
Order a cold buffet and get a free smoothie.
This type of activity ties everything in the store together.
As a result, the business of Moon Viewing Tower has not only recovered, but is even better than before.
Not many families can afford a block of ice that weighs several taels, but there are still many people who spend a little money to eat skewers and smoothies.
People, within their capabilities, will involuntarily give themselves the best.
Song Qingci also specifically asked who planned these activities in the store. Song Xin said very embarrassedly that she and Manager Zheng decided on them after discussing it.
This inspiration comes from Song Qingci.
Song Xin is indeed a good talent. She has been getting better and better these days. She is becoming more and more proficient in the rules of doing things.
Song Qingci took out a portion of the profits of the Moon-Shouting Tower as rewards and distributed them to the people in the Moon-Shouting Tower. From the top to the bottom, everyone got one.
The amount of distribution will be determined based on everyone’s contribution value.
Song Xin and Shopkeeper Zheng took the most.
Now everyone is more motivated to work.
Song Qingci also went around to the ice-making room that Feng Yi was in charge of and gave them rewards. They also made an indelible contribution to the success of the Moon Viewing Tower.
Making and delivering ice every day is also a very hard job.
Faced with the reward of silver, Feng Yi refused.
"Madam, I don't need it!" Feng Yi didn't care much about silver.
His master took care of all his food, clothing and daily expenses, and he could not spend much money on his own. He could keep a tael of silver for half a year without touching it.
"Are you stupid? You don't even want the money!" Song Qingci felt that Feng Yi's train of thought was a little incomprehensible. "If you don't spend it yourself, will your wife not spend it in the future?"
Song Qingci, who has been influenced by everything he has seen and heard recently, has also started talking about getting married.
Feng Yi was stunned for a moment, then said, "I don't want to marry a wife!"
He was the master's bodyguard and had no intention of marrying in his lifetime. Not only him, but the entire Wind Group was like this.
Their lives belong to their masters, not to themselves, so marrying and having children is not an option for them.
Song Qingci was not aware of these things. When she heard Feng Yi's words, her first reaction was, "You don't like women?!"
Feng was shocked!
How could Madam say that?!
However, what surprised him even more was what happened next. He heard Song Qingci say, "It's okay if you don't like women. Men are actually pretty good too. Just be careful."
"Madam! I don't like men!" "Oh my God, how could Madam think so!
"No need to explain, I understand." Song Qingci said calmly.
The purpose of opposite sex is to pass on the family line, and true love is between same sex. She understands and supports this kind of thing!
"Even if you don't marry, you'll still need money in the future! Just take it!" After saying that, Song Qingci stuffed the silver into Feng Yi's hand and left in style.
Only Feng Yi was left standing there, disheveled in the wind.
What on earth does the lady know?!
At the gate of the general's mansion, Song Qingci met Shan Li who had just returned.
"Did you go out today?" Shan Li knew Ah Ci quite well.
On weekdays, she would never stand if she could sit, and would never sit if she could lie down. She rarely went out unless it was necessary. Not to mention going out, she rarely even left Chixiaoyuan.
"Yes, I went to the Moon Viewing Tower to take a look. In such hot weather, we must give them some rewards. If you want the horse to run, you must feed it with enough grass. I also went to Feng Yi's place to take a look." Song Qingci felt that he could tell Shan Li about this matter, so he told him everything without reservation.
"Thank you for your hard work. Next time, just let me handle this kind of thing." Shan Li felt a little distressed when he saw her sweaty face.
"Okay, you can go there when you have time." Song Qingci did not refuse. She was very happy when someone came forward to help with the work.
