Fat Niang makes a fortune in farming

Chapter 480 It's just a test
"Young Madam, the account has been settled!"

The old man who was doing calculations next to him walked towards Mr. Wang Zhujun with the account book he had just calculated.

"How much is burned? How much is usable? How much needs to be added? How much will it cost?"

Wang Zhujun said these words very loudly on purpose, she just wanted Meng Kejun and Chen Huanzhang to hear them all and hear them clearly, so that they don't have to say too much by themselves when the time comes, and they will have an idea in their hearts.

The old man tremblingly pointed to the calculated amount in the ledger, and said the same thing.

"More than half of the things were burned, and only a small half was usable. After careful calculation, more than half of this needs to be purchased, and it will cost about seven to eighty taels."

Hearing that it was only 80 taels, Qiaohui immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although Chen Huanzhang's family was not a wealthy family, it was easy and not difficult to take out the 80 taels.

But the old man only spoke half of what he said, and he only opened one page of the ledger in his hand.

He licked his tongue with his index finger, and tremblingly turned to the next page of the ledger.

"Seven to eighty taels is enough to add things, but to rebuild a new kitchen, it costs at least a hundred taels. And building a new kitchen, delaying the earning, costs at least a hundred taels. Also, the old soup base is gone, I don’t know what to do with the money lost here.”

The more the old man talked, the more Meng Kejun and Dong Qingfeng frowned, while the hearts of Qiaohui and Chen Huanzhang became colder.

Seeing Meng Kejun's frowning look, Wang Zhujun couldn't help snickering in his heart, what she wanted was this effect, what she wanted was for her to have such a sad look.

"Sister Zhu, you say how to pay, you say a number, and we have nothing to say."

Meng Kejun slowly opened his mouth, and the only thing they can do now is to pay for compensation. The fire was caused by Huanzhang, so they should pay for it.

Hearing Meng Kejun talking about compensation, Yao Qingxiang, who had been standing not far away without making a sound, immediately walked over.

He took the account book from the old man's hand, and then carefully read it left and right, "Ms. Meng, it's really difficult for us to say the amount of compensation. Anyway, we have figured out what should be calculated, and you know it yourself. Why don't you tell yourself how much you want to pay!"

Yao Qingxiang's words directly pushed the question of the amount of compensation back to Meng Kejun.

Seeing that the question was pushed back to him again, Meng Kejun frowned even deeper.

This problem is very difficult. It is not good to say more or less. If there is too much, they will not be able to get it out. If there is too little, it will not work. After all, for such a large Xianghe Building, if you miss one day of opening the store, you will lose money in vain. .

Qiaohui, who was standing at her hand, held hands tightly with Chen Huanzhang, not even daring to take a breath, and the heart that had just fallen back into the stomach was lifted again.

Meng Kejun raised her head and looked around, then her eyes fell on the faces of Yao Qingxiang and Wang Zhujun. Finally, she turned her head and glanced at Dong Qingfeng standing beside her.

Dong Qingfeng didn't open his mouth to speak, but nodded to her, signaling her to just say that no matter how much the compensation was, he was willing to bear it along with it.

Meng Kejun turned his head, and finally his eyes fell on Wang Zhujun's face again. At this time, he wanted to see if Wang Zhujun was really crossing the river and demolishing bridges, if he really didn't miss any old love, if he was really blind It took a second to show his heart and soul to her like that.

"500 taels!"

In the end, Meng Kejun resolutely spit out an astronomical figure to everyone's ears.

"Five... 500 taels..."

As soon as Qiaohui heard this number, all the blood in her body rushed to her head, her head buzzed, and she almost exploded.

It was not only Qiaohui who was frightened, but also Chen Huanzhang. He knew the situation of his own family best. The family was doing a good job, and he took out all the extra money here and there. At most, he could only collect 100 taels, 500 taels. That's something the family can't afford even if they sell their houses and sell their land.

But he didn't understand again, since the calculated account was only 300 taels at most, why did Miss Jun say five hundred taels.

"I know that the century-old soup base of Xianghe Building is gone. This thing cannot be bought with money, so we will compensate you for the 500 taels. Don't think it's too little."

When he said this, Meng Kejun's eyes were fixed on Wang Zhujun. She knew better than anyone how important the soup base was to a restaurant. In my heart, is it true that I don't miss old feelings at all?

Meng Kejun stared at him closely, and Wang Zhujun knew that if she was trying something, 500 taels, those burnt and lost things would not need so much money no matter how much they added.

There are also those soup bases, although they are valuable, but today's Xianghelou is different from the past, there are many new dishes, and they are the only big restaurant in the town, so there is no need to use those customers who are already tired of eating Old fashioned dishes to attract customers.

She immediately walked to Yao Qingxiang's side, took back the ledger from Yao Qingxiang's hand, and closed it.

"Where did it come from? If the back kitchen burns, it will be burned. If the soup base is gone, it will be gone. As long as people are fine, it is a good thing."

As he spoke, Wang Zhujun threw the ledger in his hand onto the table beside him.

"When Xianghe Building was in trouble that day, if you and Huanzhang hadn't led us to do it together, where did Xianghe Building come from? Today, if we want to settle accounts with you and withdraw money, wouldn't we be slapped in the face!"

What Wang Zhujun said was very sincere, she knew that this was what Meng Kejun wanted to see, and the 500 taels she said was just her own words.If I really nodded and let them pay 500 taels, I would be in Meng Kejun's way.

After listening to Wang Zhujun's words, Meng Kejun was puzzled again. She couldn't understand what Wang Zhujun was thinking, let alone why there was such a big contrast between what she did before and after.

But it's unreasonable not to pay at all, after all, it was all because of Huanzhang's dereliction of duty that led to this situation.

"If you want me to say otherwise, all the things that need to be added in the kitchen will be paid for, and then the back kitchen will be burned, so you can ask the master to build a new one. You will pay for the materials and wages .”

"Boss, it's almost the end of the new year, the wind and snow are heavy, and there are not so many customers. Business is good during this time, and the guys are exhausted. Why don't we give them a big vacation so that everyone Go back and have a good New Year with peace of mind, and when the New Year is over, let's use the new stove to pay homage to the Stove Lord, and then open it in a prosperous manner."

Master Zhang came out in a timely manner and expressed his thoughts. This is good for everyone and is the best way at present.
