Chapter 540

Xia Xi said, then holding the box to the backyard, did not see the shopkeeper's face almost cry out.

Direct went to the fine son that house, give the box to her, "these you put well, in addition to go back to Pingyang County to open a shop, the rest is your dowry."

"I don't want a dowry."

Qing'er said with a smile. She took the box and opened it. She wanted to take out the banknotes and count them. As soon as she started, she realized that something was wrong. There was not so much silver for 130000 taels.

"Elder sister, is there too much money?"

"Well, it's 250000 taels."

Xia Xi said carelessly.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand taels?"

Qing'er can't help exclaiming.

Xia Xi put her hand over her mouth and said, "Shh, keep your voice down. Don't let dad hear you."

Qing'er nodded. Xia Xi let her go. Qing'er's voice lowered, "elder sister, how can there be so many?"

"Don't worry about it. You can put away these silver tickets. When the teahouse closes, you can pay the wages of the people in the shop. The other person will give ten Liang more as severance payment. As for the two shopkeepers, one person will give one hundred Liang more."

"I see."

Qing'er answered, but she didn't count. She closed the box and pressed it tightly, for fear that it would run away. Her heart was pounding. Although she managed her family's business, she had never seen so many banknotes at once.

After Xia Xi went out for a long time, he calmed down and went to find Xia Wen to tell him about Xia Xi's arrangement.

Xia Wen stroked his beard and nodded, "just do as your elder sister said, but each of the two shopkeepers gave 200 Liang."

They have been following him for more than ten years. They have been working hard all the way to this day. They are also taking good care of the store in his absence.

"I see."

"There's also the accounting room. I'll give you two hundred Liang more."

Qing'er responds and orders a man to go to the jewelry shop. When the shop is closed, let the shopkeeper and the men come.

The man ran to shout. When it was dark, the shopkeeper led the men over. There were no guests in the teahouse. Qing'er told the people to close the door. The people gathered on the first floor and talked in a low voice.

Xia Wen came, and everyone called, "master."

Xia Wen a look in the past, looking at a familiar face, is really reluctant!

The words choked in my throat.

After a while, he said, "today, the teahouse and jewelry shop have been transferred to Zhang's family, the richest man in Qingyun county. Tomorrow, they will come to check. Tomorrow, I will negotiate with them to see if they can keep you. If they can, you should try your best in the future. If not, you can only find another way to live."

"Master, we don't want you."

It's not who took the lead to say it, but the others echoed, "yes, master, we don't want you."

"There's no banquet that doesn't end. Pingyang County is my home. I'll go back sooner or later. I won't lose you after you've been with me for so many years. In addition to the salary, everyone is paying you ten Liang more. It's a reward for your hard work for so many years."

The guys were so happy that even if they couldn't find a job in half a year, they wouldn't starve to death. "Thank you, master. Thank you."

Xia Wen waved, "come and get it."

The guys come forward one by one, happily receive the silver, and go back. There are only two shopkeepers and the cashier left. "

Xia Wen personally picked up the banknotes and put them in the hands of the two shopkeepers, "you are two hundred taels each."

Two people shirk at the same time, "shopkeeper, this is too much."

"Take it. If you have silver in your hand, you won't panic."

And took two hundred taels of silver to the cashier, "these years hard for you."

The accounting room also shirked, "the owner gives us a lot on weekdays."

"Take it. This is the last time. I have no chance to give you any more money in the future."

The three did not speak and silently took the silver in their hands.

"We'll have a good sleep tonight. Don't think about anything. We'll talk about everything tomorrow."

"Yes, master."

Three people should be together.

Xia Wen's eyes are sour and he turns around and goes to the backyard.

……

The next day, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang didn't show up. The housekeeper of the Zhang family came with a sense of arrogance. "Our Mr. and Mrs. Zhang don't have time. Let me take over the two shops."

See him so, Xia Xi not only did not let Xia Wen appear, even Qing'er also let her stop, said the shopkeeper, "you take him."

All the things have been checked. The shopkeeper will take the housekeeper.

The housekeeper took the list given by Xia Xi yesterday and checked it bit by bit. How many kinds of tea, how many kinds of tea there are, how many tables and chairs there are, and how many tea sets there are, all of which were counted clearly.

The shopkeeper followed him. At the beginning, he was very enthusiastic. However, seeing that the housekeeper was indifferent to him, and even a little disgusted, he shut up and stood aside. If the housekeeper asked anything, he would answer it. If the housekeeper didn't ask, he would say nothing.

It took most of the morning for the restaurant to finish the inventory. The housekeeper said, "go and call out your boss. Our master asked me to bring a message to him."

The shopkeeper directly pouted back, "our boss is not feeling well. He is resting. You can tell me what you have to say."

The housekeeper looked at him, very dissatisfied, but also helpless, "tell Xia Dongjia, this tea house is good, all right, later this tea house will be called Zhang, if they have nothing to do, leave early."

The shopkeeper really wants to give him a big white eye. If he doesn't say that, the owner's family will also leave. I'll pack everything up early this morning. But he still nodded his head. "OK, I'll tell him later."

"And you..."

Steward Zhang wanted to say something. After a word came out, he didn't know what he thought and swallowed it back. "Our master said that the manager and the staff of the teahouse should remain the same. You should continue to stay. The teahouse is still open today."

The shopkeeper was not surprised or pleased. "Thank you, Master Zhang."

The housekeeper's attitude is not pleasing to the eye. There are many businesses in the Zhang family. Every business has a steward. Which steward doesn't flatter him?

But what's the shopkeeper's attitude?

Want to send a few words, and think jewelry shop there is inventory, must hurry to the past, early inventory finished, so that the Xia family go away, not angry said the shopkeeper, "after you surname Zhang, pay attention to your behavior."

The shopkeeper wants to fight back. He just works. Why is his surname Zhang? But thinking of working in the teahouse in the future, he swallowed his words and half bowed, "I know."

The housekeeper was satisfied. He took people to the jewelry shop. There were many pieces in the jewelry shop. It was troublesome to count them. It was not until after noon that they could count them. He came back to find Xia Wen and turned them out impolitely. "They all count them. If master Xia has a rest, please leave the teahouse."
