After reading it, she was relieved, and what she did today was enough to support the sale tomorrow.

She instructed Ginkgo, "Go and tell the porter's servant. The housekeeper will come back later and ask him to see me."

"Yes."

Ginkgo was a little worried, although the lady didn't say anything, but she could see that the lady didn't like her father making his own decisions.

The housekeeper came back shortly after, and reported with a smile on his own initiative: "Madam, the business of our shop is too hot. When the villain came back, the queue was still long. The villain saw too many people in the queue before. Now, the cakes are almost sold out, so I told them to come back tomorrow."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued: "The people who are about to queue up are unwilling, because they have been queued for a long time, and they are about to be queued up. They are all arguing, so the villain can only comfortably say that only The last 2,000 will be sold out. Many people at the bottom of the line have left. Madam please blame the villain for his own opinion."

After he finished speaking, he bowed his head and waited for the lady to speak.

Pei Xiu calmly asked him to get up, so it seemed that he really couldn't blame him for making his own decisions, and the people in the queue had to be appeased first.

"If there are still so many people tomorrow, you should be optimistic about the remaining amount in advance, and remind everyone early so that they will come back the next day, so that everyone will not wait in vain after waiting for a long time."

"Yes, the servants will pay attention tomorrow."

"You are the housekeeper, and you shouldn't stay in the shop all day. For the newly bought two families, you arrange for a prudent person to watch the shop and maintain the team."

"Yes, the villain will do it after a while, arrange for one to deliver the goods with the servant, and one to visit the shop."

She nodded and asked curiously, "How much cake is left when you come back?"

"The one that was just delivered has not been moved, but the cake delivered this morning is only half a basket. The villain estimates that they will be able to call it back in an hour."

"Well, you've been running back and forth today, so go down and rest for a while."

"It's not hard work for the villain, and doing things for the lady is due."

Ginkgo was also relieved, his father was excusable, and his wife did not blame him.

She suggested: "Madam, we can arrange a few more people and implement two shifts. In this way, we can make more cakes, and we are not afraid that there will be not enough to sell."

She put down the teacup and shook her head in disapproval, "Everyone is only fresh for a while, and after a long time, they will get tired. At most a month, the heat will drop, and the weather will be cold. Four people in the cake room are enough, too much. It's not pretty."

"We can also open more branches in other places, such as the outer city of the capital, Linxian, etc."

"We don't have manpower. Opening a branch requires training a lot of manpower. Madam, I don't want to work too hard. Besides, our family is weak, and the available people are limited. The adults are working in an official career. Unlike the merchant's house, there are a large number of loyal servants and shopkeepers, and it is inconvenient for women to walk outside, and it is not convenient to check accounts everywhere."

"The madam is right. The adults are fighting outside, and the young masters are still young. Now the family is supported by the madam."

"So the shop can only stay like this for the time being. Now that so many people are following it, it is only a temporary novelty. After waiting for a long time, once the novelty wears off, everyone will only buy it occasionally."

"The slaves think that after at least a month, the number of talents will gradually decrease. After all, our cakes are indeed better than any pastries, and they will be of high quality if you take them away."

"Um."

Pei Xiu had slept in the morning and didn't rest at noon. After coaxing Mai to sleep, she let Mrs. Li watch her, and she went to practice calligraphy.

No matter how busy she is, she will never forget to practice calligraphy.

Ding Bo donated most of the books he sent back to his hometown a few months ago to the school, and the village chief was moved to tears.

Since Master Zhou submitted his resignation, the school in their village has been a little difficult to undertake. There is no money, and there is no teacher in the countryside.

Fortunately, Ding Bo arrived in time, donated books and 100 taels of silver, saved the school in time, and invited a new teacher.

Giving back to the village and giving Zhou Cheng a reputation is part of her motivation for diligently copying books every day.

When she finished copying the book and just put down the pen, Ginkgo said to her: "Madam, Zhuzi and the others have come back and have been waiting in the side hall for half an hour."

"Ah? What time is it now?"

"It's already time for the application, and the young masters are coming back soon. The slaves didn't dare to disturb the lady when she saw the lady's dedicated copying. Anyway, the shop's cakes were sold out, and they all closed the door ahead of schedule, and there was nothing else to do, just Make them wait."

"Go and see."

When Zhuzi saw that his wife was free, he gave the money sold today to his wife as soon as possible.

Most of them were copper plates, and Pei Xiu poured it onto the table with a clatter, filling the table.

"Ma'am, all the things sold today are here. The villain has been collecting the bills, and he has no time to count them. I don't know how many there are. You can count them later. The calculation of the villain is the villain. What my father taught, there should be no mistake."

Pei Xiu nodded with a smile, "Is it going well today?"

"Smooth, smooth, everyone likes it very much. Many people come for at least ten of each kind. Cupcakes are the cheapest and the best selling. Ordinary people are willing to buy two for their children at home."

She thought so too at first.

"Have you been hungry after a busy day? Let's go down to eat first, rest early in the evening, and you will be busy tomorrow."

"Yes, ma'am."

After they resigned, she asked Ginkgo to go to the house to get a few thick threads, a hundred of which were a piece of money, and it was easier to string them together.

They had just made a few strings when they heard the voices of the three brothers.

As always, before the person arrives, the sound arrives first.

"Mother, isn't our shop open today~ Why is it closed?" The boss asked with concern, sweating profusely.

She looked up and saw Zhou Shan and the three of them also came over, "Did you go to Dong'an Street to see it?"

"Yeah, mother, we wanted to go to the shop to see how the business was doing, why did it close so early? If I hadn't seen the big red flowers on the plaque and the firecracker red paper on the ground at the door, I would have thought Not open today."

The three brothers and Zhou Shan all looked at her together.

"Doesn't it close when it's sold out?"

"Sold out? When did it sell out?"

"It's sold out just after the time, and I will sell it tomorrow. I took 2,000 and passed it. Otherwise, it should be sold out in the afternoon."

They were excited, "Is the shop business so hot?"

"Well, it's really good. It's time for you to come back. Come and help me string copper coins. All the money sold today is here." Pei Xiu got up and gave them his place.

All six of them were interested and gathered around and helped to string together.
