Zhou Ying opened the account books and saw that the total was 1.8 million taels.

The restaurant and manor in the capital amounted to 1.2 million taels, while Qinshui Town’s restaurant and workshop totaled 600,000 taels of silver.

She asked offhandedly, “Does it mean that we earned less in the capital compared to last year?”

“Yes, there’s a drop in business in the restaurant here.

“If we hadn’t come out with the new dish before the new year, Buddha Jump Over the Wall soup, I’m afraid the revenue would’ve been lower.”

“Does it mean that the customers are getting tired of the current dishes we’re offering?”

Niu Fugui didn’t reply, but his meaning was clear.

Zhou Ying paused momentarily before adding, “Alright, why don’t you call over the chefs here for the next two days so I can teach them two new dishes?”

“That would be great! With new dishes, our restaurant will be booming with business in no time.”

“I hope so. Remember to be more careful in managing the restaurant so that there are no problems.” ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

“This lowly one understands.”

“Alright, go on ahead. The bonus will be the same as last year, but remember to add Gu Zheng to the list; his bonus is 1,000 tales of silver.”

“Come on, put Guoguo down.” Zhou Ying went ahead and took Guoguo from Gu Chengrui’s arms. “Guoguo, didn’t you envy Uncle Chenglin sleeping alone just a few days ago? Why are you afraid of sleeping alone now?”

“No! I want mommy!” Guoguo hugged Zhou Ying’s neck tightly and huffed.

“Relax, before you strangle Mommy.” Zhou Ying patted her back and waited for Guoguo to relax her arms. “Mommy misses Guoguo too.

“But when the Eldest Princess laughs at you for sleeping with mommy when you’re so old, don’t come crying to me.”

“No. Nannan won’t laugh at Guoguo; she loves me!” Guoguo said it firmly.

“Who knows? Don’t you know that Yangyang is also sleeping with his nanny?” Gu Chengrui added.

“Ah, Zhuangzhuang too. He’s also sleeping with his nanny.”

“Remember your two older brothers from your uncle’s side? They are sleeping on their own now.”

Guoguo rolled her eyes at Gu Chengrui. She didn’t want to sleep alone, so she crawled into Zhou Ying’s arms and gave Gu Chengrui the side eye.

Gu Chengrui wanted to persuade her further, but Zhou Ying shook her head.

This was because she noticed that Guoguo wasn’t as adamant about this proposal as at the start.

This matter must be taken slowly, or it might hurt Guoguo’s feelings.

Gui Chengrui saw that and said, “Daddy is sorry; ok, Daddy won’t ask Guoguo to sleep alone again.

“Oh, right! There’s a cute pony in the backyard; do you want to take a look?”
