General, Your Wife Wants You to Get Out

C62

The little girl rolled her big, black eyes, but did not speak.

Lu Huan Zhi continued to speak, "Father ~"

"Sigh ~"

This time, the little girl gave him a rare reply.

"Damned girl, how dare you take advantage of me!"

Lu Huan stood up in rage.

However, Su Zhi couldn't help but burst out laughing. Her daughter was definitely a clown.

Lu Huan Zui made an uninteresting scene. He glared at the little girl who was having fun and walked out angrily.

Su Zhi let out a long breath, "I send you off."

The man turned around and glared at her. "Who said this prince is leaving? I haven't even eaten lunch yet!"

This...

"Your Highness, there are still matters that haven't been settled in this commoner's shop. At lunch, I will take the two children to the aunt's house next door, and there won't be enough time to cook."

Lu Huan Zhi laughed disapprovingly, "Oh, go back and busy yourself with your work. You should come back for dinner."

"Not even for dinner."

"I say, woman, this prince should at least help you a lot. This little girl was in the palace eating and drinking."

Su Zhi rolled her eyes at him. Helped her out a lot? It made her very busy for a while!

"It's time to give face to Your Highness. I'll repay you in a few days."

"Alright, you're the one who said that. I'll write it down!"

Su Zhi felt that she should not have spoken such polite words.

Lu Huan Zhi did not act like a scoundrel anymore after getting the promise, and swaggered out of the courtyard. He didn't even take two steps before returning, "That's right, do you have any of your fragrant water? Last time, she gave me a concubine and I also liked the other one.

Why wouldn't she earn if she had a business deal? Su Zhi replied and immediately went into her room to take out two bottles, and then sold them to Lu Huan for several times the amount of silver.

Hmm, this thing, earning money is a man's face, if you don't earn it then you will earn it for nothing.

Lu Huan Zhi disapproved and threw down the silver ingot, "This is so cheap. Ying'er is not happy with this price. Can't you sell this thing for a bit more?"

Su Zhi was stupefied. To be honest, she deserved the title of being a profiteer. From picking materials to making finished products, this thing would not be so expensive.

"Then... "One hundred silver taels, how does Your Highness feel about that?"

Lu Huan Zhi frowned as he stared at the small porcelain bottle in his hand in contemplation.

Su Zhi then said, "Why don't we buy one and give one away? Two bottles is cheaper for you. "

"Alright, let's do it like this. Later, I'll get Lu Si to send the silver over."

After successfully sending away the god of pests, Su Zhi heaved a sigh of relief.

For the next few days, His Highness the crown prince, who had nothing better to do, never appeared in Spring Leaf Lane again.

Flower Mansion had been renovated and refurbished, and business was on the right track. Su Zhi had been too busy these few days to rest.

The opening day was specifically calculated by Li Yi, who said it was a lucky day with the blessing of a lucky star.

On the opening day, about a quarter of the people in Xuancheng came to the Department Store.

As early as a few days before the opening, Su Zhi had spent a lot of money on advertising, distributing flyers and discount coupons in large amounts.

At the beginning, when the citizens received the cash vouchers, they did not dare to believe it to be true and only half-believed it to be true.

Su Zhi's calculations were extremely accurate. As a large scale shopping mall, the customers were mostly ordinary commoners, and she would be a fool if she did not take advantage of the situation.

The discount was real, and the news spread like wildfire. Every single woman on the street carried a vegetable basket as they ran towards the Flowery Restaurant.

The furnishings of the store were also very different from those of other places. Upon entering, one could see many small pulley baskets placed at the entrance that could be used to store items when buying.

The entire hall was brightly lit and neat. Although there were a lot of goods here, there was no sense of disorder.

Not only that, the price was also very cheap.

The rice noodles were half a dollar cheaper than the rice shop's, the cloth was all good, and there was also the activity of buying two to one yuan. Even if there was no shortage of necessities, there were also many new things.

The original kitchen had been converted into a dessert shop, and the sight of all sorts of pastries was dazzling.

Suzhi studied many new products, such as salted hops, roasted hibiscus, rose cake, milk vanilla sachima, hand-torn bread and steamed rice cakes, and so on.

There were also drinks for sale and delivery of fried chicken and other services.

On the first day of business, the living quarters on the first floor were bustling with business. Li Yi was truly excited. Flower Mansion was about to return to its former prosperity!

On the other hand, Su Zhi was not that happy, and she was even at a loss as to what to do.

"Little Su, what's wrong with you?" "Business is so good. Although we have given away a portion of the items, but the profits are plentiful. In the end, we were still able to earn a lot."

Su Zhi looked at the second and third floor with a somewhat melancholy expression. "The situation on the first floor is indeed good. It's better than I expected. But isn't the second and third floor a bit too lonely?"

On the second floor, there were booths for singing south songs and acting shadow plays. He also bought some tea nuts along the way. As good as the business on the first floor was, the second floor was as deserted as the second.

Li Yi laughed indifferently, "Hey, what time is this? Would the people who listened to the music come to the store early in the morning to stand guard? Naturally, he would only come after noon when he had some free time. "Just you wait. It won't be long before he arrives."

As Elementary Scholar Li had said, after lunch time, the second floor had indeed become crowded.

Firstly, he was curious about how the second floor was arranged, and secondly, it was for the opening of the second floor.

However, he would not be disappointed once he reached the second floor. There was a hall on the second floor to watch the show, as well as a small room that was soundproof and could not be disturbed.

Su Zhi found a crew and organized two great scenes, one for the White Snake, and the other for the loyal Yang family generals.

The former women loved to look at it, the latter lords liked to look at it.

The entire match was so chaotic that even a single person was overwhelmed by it.

However, what worried Su Zhi was still the third floor.

Among the three floors, the beauty salon and boutiques on the third floor were the ones that Su Zhi cared about the most.

Even the potted plants were arranged in an exquisite manner, to say nothing of their low and extravagant tasteful decor. However, a few women from a small sect came to try out their perfume and then left after asking about the price.

Throughout the whole day, other than buying and selling two exquisite mirror cases, no one else bought perfume and lipstick that Su Zhi had spent so much effort to make.

What was the problem?

She couldn't figure it out, but by the time she closed up for the night. Looking at the pile of silver, Elementary Scholar Li couldn't help but smile. He counted the silver coins that he had earned like a miser, while only Su Zhi remained silent with a worried expression on her face.

Seeing that she wasn't happy about what had happened on the third floor, Li Yi tried to comfort her, "People have to learn to be content. Look at the situation on the first floor. It's not a small number! Although the operas on the second floor are free, they can still be sold for several dozens of scenes as a snack and tea. "

He calculated and calculated that after a whole day, the department store had earned a total of three hundred and sixty-seven taels of silver and six strings of copper coins.

Su Zhi was depressed. If the situation on the third floor was better, this income would be far more than that.

"This little bit of silver is not enough to make us happy. We have to get rid of the manpower and commodity fees, and we also have to pay taxes. Seven or eight counts are almost all gone."

Originally, the third floor was used as the main force to make money, but now the products were being delayed. What was to be done now?

He was already satisfied with this result. The department store was a completely new business model. He had already prepared himself for losing everything, but the result was surprisingly good.

"Big Brother Li, you have to find someone to do the purchasing for you. I'm just a woman, so I can't run around outside. Write a recruitment notice for me."

"Alright, since the business is on the right track, you might as well give it a shot. I'll think about it."

Su Zhi smiled and sighed, "How can I be idle? I have to think of a way to solve the problems on the third floor. The things that I'm working on all day and night cannot be wasted." Naturally, I can't be particularly careful on the first floor and the second floor. When the time comes, I'll find two more astute people to be the steward of the first and second floors. Brother Li will be in charge of their affairs. "

Li Yi nodded and agreed to this matter.

Seeing that it was already late, Su Zhi did not want to stay any longer and bid farewell to Elementary Scholar Li.

Sitting on the carriage, Su Zhi was still thinking about what had happened on the third floor. Was it because of such an outcome?

Xuan City was not short on noble clans, and there were countless wealthy merchants and giants. There were no signs of things that were too expensive to buy, but there had to be a reason why no one wanted to buy the products.

After wobbling back to Spring Leaf Alley, Su Zhizhan put away the frustration in her head and paid the driver to enter the house.

He had just taken two steps when he heard a wave of curses accompanied by the sound of chopsticks smashing to the ground from the yard around the corner.

The carriage just happened to stop at this place, so Su could clearly hear the movements in the courtyard.

This courtyard belonged to He Qiniang and his mother-in-law, Aunt Ying. It was dark and the lights were dim. It was unknown what had caused such a ruckus between the two daughter-in-law.

Recalling the way He Qiniang had looked at her last time, Su Zhi shuddered and quickly walked towards her own courtyard.

When she opened the door and went in, she found the lights were still on. She thought A Jin was waiting for her, so she didn't want to sleep. When she opened the door, she saw Aunt Bai sitting by the bed, watching over the two sleeping children.

"Aunt, it's so late, and we haven't rested yet."

Seeing her return, Aunt Bai hurriedly stood up and gave her a thumbs up. "Little Su, you did a good job. Many residents of Spring Leaf Lane went to help you. I heard that business is booming. You're really good!"

Su Zhi smiled shyly. "There's no need for that. I just barely managed to keep the book. I'll have to improve a bit more."

Aunt Bai restrained her smile and said, "Little Su, you're a strong one, Aunt can see that. Now that I think about how that nephew of the Liu family is a farmer, I feel that I am not worthy of you. "

Su Zhi was stunned for a moment before she remembered that Uncle Liu had said that he would introduce her nephew to her. She had actually forgotten about it.

"Aunt, don't say it like that. It's all for the sake of eating a full meal and making a living. How can there be any difference between noble and lowly? How can you be worthy?"

Aunt Bai held her hand, a little embarrassed. "I've already told the other side. If I had known earlier that you were so capable, I, I .."

"Auntie, you're going to kill me. I can't do anything else now that I'm like this."

Aunt Bai nodded and said, "But don't worry, I met her a few times when she was young. She's a good seedling! "Not to mention the corn fields beside, even if you grow it would still be better to not mix it up with your neighbors. The man is Zhou Zheng, tall and big, and you would only like to earn money. I guess he's not as fast as you think."

Su Zhi also didn't know what to say. Aunt Bai's meaning was that she should meet with that Liu family member.

Right now, things in the shop had not settled yet. She had to be careful in every place. She did not want to waste time on personal matters, but she could not disrespect others, so she could only agree.

"Little Su, ah, Aunt is hoping you're doing well. That Liu family kid is really not bad." Meet me first, and we'll talk about it later. "

"Oh, thank you, Aunt."

Aunt Bai nodded in satisfaction and left the yard after bidding farewell to Su Zhi.

That night, Su Zhi could no longer sleep.

However, it wasn't because he couldn't sleep due to the strange man he was about to meet, but because of the business situation on the third floor.

As soon as the sky brightened, Su Zhi, who had been in a daze all night, came out from her bed, busily making breakfast for her child. Before she could even enter the kitchen to start a fire, there was another knock on the door.
