Chapter 215: The Account Summarization is Profitable

Fengnian secretly swallowed his saliva, thinking of his sister who was waiting for him in the ruined temple. The child held the pottery plate in his hand and tried to suppress the crazy surge of saliva and asked with difficulty, "Big brother, then, then can I make the food and take it back to eat?"

"Of course you can." The foreman nodded with a smile, "But compared to eating until you are full in the cafeteria, you can only order one portion of food if you take it away. Are you sure you want to take it away?"

Fengnian nodded without hesitation: "My sister is still waiting for me."

Upon hearing this, the foreman couldn't help but think of the difficult days when he and his younger sister had to live under the care of his stepmother. He couldn't help but soften his heart out of empathy.

"That's fine. I happened to collect a few large bamboo cups for drinks when I was cleaning earlier. I've already washed them and I'll give you one. You can take the food and go back to eat. If you stay to help tomorrow, remember to bring tableware, or be more careful and collect a few bamboo cups when you clean, so you can get more food."

When Fengnian heard this, he thanked him profusely and took the cup given by the foreman, which was said to be a bamboo cup, but was actually a large bamboo tube as thick as an adult's arm and half as long as his arm. There was still a smell of milk inside. Fengnian got a bamboo tube full of food from the master in white clothes and white hat. The master did not treat him differently just because he was a young beggar.

Fengnian held the heavy bamboo cup in his hand, feeling deeply moved, because he was traveling with a group of people and did not encounter any blind robbers. Fengnian was able to return safely to the dilapidated temple on the south side of the city, leaning against a corner of the outer wall, and found his sister hiding in a tree hole behind the temple. Fengnian cherished it and took out the bamboo tube to present the treasure to her.

The brother and sister gratefully shared the full bucket of food. Their stomachs were bigger than ever before, but not as big as their parents' due to eating the Guanyin soil. Seeing his sister still holding the bone of braised pork ribs and sucking on it, Fengnian couldn't help but hug his sister and swore secretly in his heart.

He must work hard, behave well, eat well, grow up well, and strive to become a formal clerk of Xinhai Pavilion like the big brother who was kind enough to give him the bamboo cup. By then, he will have money to rent a house and buy clothes and quilts, and he and his sister will no longer have to suffer hunger and be bullied. That's great!
The three consecutive days of promotion and rewards were a huge success. When they took inventory that night, Li Yaoguang and his friends sat together to count the accounts and found that in just these three days, not counting the income from the food city, the sale of handwritten copies of the stories in the store, and the income from peripheral products and handicrafts, they made a lot of money just from ticket sales.

Lu Fang stroked the last number in the account book in disbelief, and looked at it back and forth, and couldn't help sighing, "Wow, if we continue to develop at this pace, won't we be able to make back our investment in less than half a year?"

Li Yaoguang couldn't bear to dampen the other party's enthusiasm, so he gave a friendly reminder.

"When a new store opens, there are many benefits. Many people are attracted by the discounts and come to watch the fun with the idea of ​​getting a bargain. When the popularity is over, the flow of people will probably drop. Although the official ticket sales can make up for it, it is not much. Don't expect it too much."

Lu Fang was extremely confident.

"It's okay if the flow of people decreases. Our Xinhai Pavilion has a well-known reputation now. There are many wealthy people in Jiangnan. How can they not come when they hear the news and like to compete with others? In addition, our pavilion cannot be fully enjoyed in one or two days. It will take several days. Moreover, less than half of the people in the city have come to play. It is still a long way to go before the flow of people decreases. The impact will not be great. I have confidence."

"As long as you have confidence."

"Of course. Don't worry. Even if there are really few people one day, I have friends all over the world, so I am not afraid that no one will come. You just need to take care of the innovation, and leave all the small matters of customers to me."

"Yes, yes, yes. Everyone in the world knows that Master Lu is very capable. I'll leave it to you. I'll leave it all to you."

Li Yaoguang and Lu Fang were chatting back and forth, listening to their jokes, Gu Qing beside them kept smiling, with joy in his eyes.

In the eyes of others, the benefactor girl had a lot of creative ideas and could make money, but they didn't know that it was because of her idea and the helping hand she extended in times of crisis that all the people in Linhai Pavilion, as well as those old friends she had invited, were able to get out of poverty.

In Xinhai Pavilion, they are no longer lowly beings that can be trampled on at will. They are the big stars that the benefactor girl wants to create. Yes, big stars! How much people yearn for it... "Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense with you, Second Master. It's getting late. My brother is still waiting for me. I have to go."

Li Yaoguang's farewell instantly brought back Gu Qing's wandering thoughts. He looked out the window, and seeing that it was getting late, Gu Qing did not stay any longer.

Lu Fang was about to leave, so he stood up and followed him, "It's time for me to go, little girl, let me take you there."

Seeing Gu Qing, who lived in the pavilion, standing up to see him off, Lu Fang hurriedly said, "Madam Gu, please stay. Bye."

Waving his hand to tell Gu Qing not to see him off, Lu Fang quickly walked to Li Yaoguang's side by side, then turned around and stared at Li Yaoguang, asking questions.

"By the way, little girl, did you forget to take the gold-stamped invitation? Why haven't you seen your family and friends come to visit in the past three days?"

Li Yaoguang was waving goodbye to Gu Qing. When she heard Lu Fang's question, she took a step forward with a sullen look on her face.

"Oh, my sister Gu, if anyone's invitation is missing, mine won't be missing! Besides, among the three of us, who can be as free as you, Second Master Lu? You've been playing around for three days straight. You must be crazy, right? You didn't even come to help us."

Thinking that he had indeed been overindulgent, Lu Fang embarrassedly touched his nose and tried to make excuses.

"Hey, I'm here to accompany my parents. Didn't we decide to invite them here to show support for our business? Besides, no matter how poor I am, I'm still an invisible boss like the head of Qiji Hall and General Zhenbei. It's not easy for me to show up. Brother, this is all for your own good!"

Li Yaoguang rolled her eyes, "Yes, yes, so, since you're out having fun, shouldn't I help Sister Gu a little? You see, I entertained Shen Yue's cronies on the first day, and took them to inspect and tour, and I just sent them off yesterday; there are so many people outside the newly opened venue, and even though we have practiced, we're still afraid of accidents, and only Sister Gu is in charge, what if she can't take care of it? Of course, I have to help keep an eye on it to prevent mistakes from happening, and I dare not slack off all the time."

"Yes, yes, thank you both heroines for your hard work."

"It's good that you know, Second Master. However, we have just had a smooth opening for the first three days. I guess there won't be so many customers tomorrow, so I can relax. You don't need to tell me, I also plan to invite friends and family to come over for a day tomorrow."

Lu Fang knew he was in the wrong, so he nodded repeatedly and busily coaxed and praised her.

"Oh, so that's how it is, little girl. Since you help me make money, I will prepare two tables of delicious food to entertain your people tomorrow. We won't eat the employee meal. No need to thank me."

Lu Fang was sincerely grateful and also wanted to get closer to Li Yaoguang.

Li Yaoguang thought, since his uncle and brother had become familiar with this guy for some time, he would not be polite. Recalling the delicious dishes he had eaten in Duke Cheng'en's Mansion, Li Yaoguang not only did not refuse, but also ordered directly, and listed a long list of dishes while walking, without any politeness.

Lu Fang likes her like this!
Under the lamp, Gu Qing just watched his two friends walk away with a smile until they disappeared.

Gu Qing looked back at the bright moon hanging high above his head, and sent someone to call Lu Qing to arrange for the benefactor's family to come and visit tomorrow, and asked everyone to make sure to serve them well. When Gu Qing lay down with his tired body, he was looking forward to the beautiful tomorrow that was about to come...
