My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 123 Treasure Rumors
"We don't need to know where he is, we just need to spread the news and let the pirates come to us." Lu Shiyan said.

Xie Xin was not stupid. He just didn't think that way at first, but now that Lu Shiyan reminded him, he immediately reacted.

"You mean the pirates have an internal agent in Yazhou? As long as..."

Lu Shiyan nodded and asked, "Is this a deserted island where ships can be hidden?"

"I know this!" As soon as Lu Shiyan said it, Xie Xin understood what he meant, patted his chest and said, "Just leave this matter to me."

The two of them went to deploy separately to lure and catch the pirates.

After being busy until dark, the pastry shop finally finished making samples.

All the food on display in the shop was sold out.Even the bamboo gift boxes that Jiang Tangtang originally thought might not be easy to sell were sold out.

As for the winter melon candy that I had cooked earlier, I thought I could sell it for six or seven days, but there was nothing left.

Business is good and everyone is happy, but also very tired.

Mrs. Su just stood to collect the money, but she was so tired that she couldn't straighten her back and collapsed on the chair as soon as she finished the sample.

Lu Zhixi was also tired and kept squeezing her calves and rubbing her arms, but she was even more excited, "Sister-in-law, how much money did we make today?"

Jiang Tangtang smiled and said: "Who knows, today is so chaotic that I don't even know what to do. Let's eat first and talk about it later."

Lu Zhixi wanted to count them!But thinking that the Xia family was still there, he endured his curiosity and agreed to Jiang Tangtang's arrangement.

Everyone was tired after a long day, and Jiang Tangtang didn't ask anyone to cook anymore. He directly called for food to be delivered from the shop next door.

Although the restaurant next door envied the pastry shop's good business, the good business of the pastry shop did not have a bad impact on her shop.

On the contrary, because the pastry shop's business was good, it also boosted the business of her shop.

He was very attentive and said that it didn't matter if the bowls and chopsticks were left in the shop, and it wouldn't matter if they were returned tomorrow.

After dinner, Zhao Jia and others proposed to leave.The man came over to help him for a day, but Jiang Tangtang didn't have the guts to let him walk home at night, so he persuaded him to stay.

Zhang Lu and the two wives were asked to squeeze into a room, and another room was shared for Xia Zhirong and his wife.

Wang and Lu Zhixi shared a room.

Everyone was tired after a long day. After dinner, they washed up hastily and then went to bed.

I have to open the door tomorrow, and I can't sleep for long and I have to get up early to prepare the pastries to be sold tomorrow.

Lu Zhixi was still thinking about counting money earlier, but after eating, her eyelids started to twitch and she fell asleep soon after lying on the bed.

Su Shi cheered up and handed Jiang Tangtang the money box she collected today, and told her: "Go to bed early, business is not as important as your health."

Jiang Tangtang was moved and thanked her mother-in-law for her concern, "Mom, let's see how much money we made this year?"

Su Shi yawned and counted the money with Jiang Tangtang.

In the cash box, there are strings of copper coins, silver ingots, and large-denomination banknotes.

After counting the entire box of money, Mrs. Su looked shocked and dazed, "Did you earn 2000 taels of silver in one day?"

She thought it was a lot when she collected it today, but she didn't expect it to be so much.

Jiang Tangtang was also a little surprised, but after a moment he said: "Mom, we can't count all the sales today. There are still a lot of membership cards in there!"

It costs 100 taels of silver to recharge the membership card. The membership card is a special wooden sign with the name of the pastry shop.

Just like modern membership cards, if the money is not used up, it will remain in the membership card.There were no computers in ancient times, so Jiang Tangtang asked Su to use the account book for accounting.

Not many membership cards were sold today, but fifteen were sold.One membership card costs 100 taels of silver, and fifteen membership cards are equivalent to 500 taels of silver.

Therefore, the remaining 500 taels of silver are the shop's income from selling pastries today.

Su said: "This is amazing!"

You must know that selling food is not as good as others. No matter how fresh the food is, the unit price cannot be too high.

Jiang Tangtang took a 100-tael banknote and gave it to Su: "Mom, you worked hard today."

Mrs. Su quickly gave in and said: "You are responsible for the food and drink at home. What do I need money for? I have food to eat and clothes to wear now, but I can't use it. You keep the money yourself."

As she spoke, she stood up and ran away quickly.

Jiang Tangtang looked at her back and smiled, then put all the money into the space.

She was too tired today, so she didn't make any more cakes or anything. She went to bed first and fell asleep with her child in her arms.

But I still got up early the next day, sneaked into the space and baked a few fresh pastries to send to the kitchen.

Zhang Lu and Du Mudan arrived at the kitchen a quarter of an hour later than Jiang Tangtang. When they arrived, they immediately made noodles and got busy.

"Master, it's too late to make winter melon candy now, what should I do?" Zhang Lu asked while kneading the dough.

Jiang Tangtang said: "If you don't have winter melon candy, don't sell it for now! Sell something else! Let me explain it to everyone."

As she said this, she took out the red envelope she had prepared earlier and gave it to everyone, "We have to work hard for a few more days, and when we wait for the Chinese New Year, we will close the door and have a good rest for a few days."

"Let's forget it!" Zhao Jia and Xiao Wang were both very embarrassed and refused to accept it.

"It's just for good luck. This is the custom here. Don't be polite to me." After some persuasion by Jiang Tangtang, the Xia family put the red envelope away.

There were still many customers in the shop today, and some people asked about the bamboo gift boxes. I heard they were sold out, and they even asked Jiang Tangtang to place an order.

Jiang Tangtang asked Lu Shili to rush to Zhao's house, bring back the thirty bamboo boxes he ordered later, and place dozens more orders.

Zhao Jia and others also worked in the shop for another day.

Jiang Tangtang felt that it was not a problem to continue like this. In the evening, he found Zhao Jia and Xiao Wang to talk and asked them if they were willing to work in the shop.Two taels of silver were given to the two of them every month.

When the two heard about the two taels of silver, they were both shocked.

"This...this is too much!" Zhao Jia waved his hands repeatedly.

Aunt Xia's eldest son works as a bookkeeper in the city and earns only one or two or three coins a month.

She didn't even know a few words, but she just recruited customers and helped pack pastries.Just give him two taels of silver as wages.It was obvious that Jiang Tangtang intended to benefit them, so how could she have the nerve to keep taking advantage of them.

Little Wang also has a clear mind and understands this principle.The two refused, insisting that Jiang Tangtang's price was too high.

Jiang Tangtang smiled and said, "It's not high. I'm in the food business, so I don't worry about treating others. Besides, although the wages in our shop are high, it's still very tiring. Don't think it's easy to make money."

After saying this, the two agreed, but they worked more carefully.

Both of them also knew the rules. They greeted customers in the shop honestly and never looked for opportunities to go to the kitchen.

When the pastry shop's business was booming, news suddenly spread in the county that someone had discovered a treasure cave in a mountain, and a cave full of gold and silver jewelry was hidden inside.
