Why do I have the lowest fighting ability among the whole family?

Chapter 39 Sold out

The shop was crowded all day long, and maids were there to load the goods. The eldest uncle and the fifth uncle were patrolling each shop to ensure that no accidents would happen.

Pei Shao was too young and was ordered not to run around. He stayed alone in the tea room, fiddling with the things on the table in boredom.

All the shops outside were noisy, and the flow of people never stopped.

"Little miss!" Bai Zhi rushed into the room anxiously, with beads of sweat on his forehead. "The candy blind box and fruit blind box will be sold out soon! Master Qi asked me to come to you!"

The candy blind box is the lowest priced blind box in the shop and sells out very quickly, while the fruit blind box has a wide audience. Many wealthy ladies are constantly opening it for the hidden items in the album.

Other blind boxes are also very popular. I originally expected to sell goods for a whole day, but now I can't hold on for half a day.

"Where's the uncle?" Pei Shao was also a little anxious after listening to Bai Zhi's report.

The turnover of this shop is closely related to her lifespan. If the customers who come want to buy but don't, then they are not destroying their own sign.

His uncle was in charge of the general ledgers of several shops, and the maid responsible for keeping accounts in each shop handed him the account book for confirmation every half an hour.

"This meeting should be in the backyard." Bai Zhi was also a little unsure.

It's just that the maids who are responsible for keeping accounts always deliver bills to the backyard.

Pei Shao took her hurriedly towards the backyard and found Cheng Yishen.

"Uncle!" Pei Shao's eyes lit up, "How many taels of silver are sold in the shop now? There are not enough things!"

Cheng Yishen turned over the bill in front of him and replied: "Not counting the Queen Mother's, it's about 100,000 taels, and the net profit is about 50,000 taels."

Pei Shao breathed a sigh of relief, and then cheered up again.

Although I have always heard that my uncle has a business acumen, he still makes too much money!
  But on the first day of business, he made a full one hundred thousand taels of silver.

In addition to the 350,000 taels from the Queen Mother, on the first day of business, shouldn't the turnover exceed 500,000?
  What's more, it's not closed yet, so I guess I can still rush up.

Pei Shao was shocked.

But she also knew in her heart that today was the first time for business, and people outside looked at it as fresh, and there were also many wealthy families who purchased a lot at once.

In addition, the Queen Mother came over as a favor, so even people who didn't really need these things basically came to pick out a few items.

In the next two days, without these large-scale purchases, I'm afraid it will be far from reaching today's standards.

But that was enough - even if it was only tens of thousands taels a day, that was something she had never dared to think about before.

The corresponding silver in the account has been handed over to Cheng Yishen along with the account book. He had previously thought it was troublesome to have boxes of silver and copper plates, so he asked someone to take them to the bank early to exchange for silver notes.

This would be a lot more convenient.

He handed Pei Shao the statistics of the total sales of each blind box. Just as he was about to explain the numbers above to her, he saw Pei Shao look at them seriously.

Cheng Yishen was quite surprised.

He thought Shao Shao was illiterate at his age, but he didn't expect to know how to read accounts.

Just as he was thinking about it, Pei Shao raised his head, pointed at the large numbers on the account book and asked, "Uncle, what is written here?"

She really couldn't read this large page of traditional Chinese characters fluently...

Cheng Yishen smiled and then explained the numbers above to her one by one.

As expected, the candy blind boxes sold the most, followed by the soap blind boxes. Even the newly added fruit blind boxes had a hint of catching up from behind.

The least popular item is the cold medicine.

But it's understandable, after all, few people would stock up on cold medicine in large quantities at home, and a few pills of this stuff would be enough for emergencies. However, the unit price of wind-cold medicine is the most expensive. Although the quantity is small, the total price is not inferior to other types.

After Cheng Yishen explained, he brought her another banknote.

Judging from the large pile of goods that mysteriously appeared in the backyard last time, this delivery method is indeed quite novel.

He didn't know where such a large package of goods came from, and he didn't want to expose the little secret that Pei Shao was keeping, so he simply pretended to be stupid.

Pei Shao entered the inner room with a hundred thousand taels of silver notes.

There are still many other types of blind boxes in stock, and her focus this time is simply on candies and fruits.

The unit price of fruit blind boxes is not cheap, and she really didn’t expect it to sell so well.

Sure enough, after the words "order successfully placed" appeared, a delivery countdown also appeared on the light screen.

The countdown ended, and a bunch of things appeared out of thin air in the backyard.

Cheng Yishen was so shocked that he was almost speechless as soon as he went out.

This efficiency... is really high.

He thought silently, and then without delaying for a moment, he called the maid in charge of replenishing the goods in front of him to come over and move things.

The shortage crisis was finally resolved. It wasn't until it started to get dark outside and Mrs. Cheng came over with a food box to deliver food that Pei Shao was shocked to realize that he hadn't eaten anything all day.

"Mom!" Pei Shao's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Mrs. Cheng, and he pushed the cups forward on the table.

Cheng Yishen, who came after hearing the sound, also felt a little embarrassed on his face.

He was used to doing business outside on weekdays, so he didn't feel anything at all if he skipped one meal or had one more meal on weekdays.

It was a bit embarrassing to see Pei Shao now.

It's okay for him, a grown man, not to eat. He took his little sister's little cotton-padded jacket out to open a shop and forgot to feed them. This was embarrassing.

"Why haven't you returned so late?"

Mrs. Cheng frowned slightly and put the food box on the table.

"It's already midnight, it's time to close, right?"

Cheng Yishen pointed to the still crowded shop outside, and said with a wry smile: "I also want to close early. There are still many people trying to squeeze in, so it's hard to drive them out."

Cheng smiled and said, "That's true too."

She opened the food box. There were three layers inside the food box, containing four side dishes and three bowls of porridge. She looked at Cheng Yunchi who had just come in from outside the house.

"Eat, I know you won't have time to eat today. My legs and feet are not good, so I didn't come here during the day. Now that it's dark, I guess there are fewer people, so I hurry up and bring the food. ”

Cheng Yunchi also sat down at the tea table, and Pei Shao's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw several large chicken drumsticks in the food box.

Damn it, who knows how long it’s been since she had braised chicken legs!

The only thing she eats every day is porridge, and her mouth almost feels like a bird.

"Eat it." Seeing her starving appearance, Mrs. Cheng felt a little funny and pushed the plate toward her.

"The chicken drumsticks are specially made for you today, two per person."

She didn't want to bring chicken drumsticks at first, but then she thought about how hard Shao Shao had been working these past two days, and that the little one felt a little listless when eating every day, so she relented and brought some chicken drumsticks over.
