The Bloody Taoist

Earlier today, after Zuo Yinyang finished practicing, he called Su Li to stop.

"Su Li, I have been cultivating these days and have never asked about family affairs. How much money is left of the one hundred taels of silver I borrowed earlier?"

Su Li thought for a moment and replied directly: "Go back to the young master, I spent ninety-two cents on firewood, rice and food at home, eighteen twenty-three cents on setting up the mourning hall and sacrificial supplies, sixty-two cents on tailoring autumn and winter clothes, and the neighbor's tribute gift money We collected forty-five taels, and now we still have one hundred and eleven taels of silver in our account." Like his father, he was trained as a bookkeeper and accountant since he was a child, so he is proficient in arithmetic and can read and write. , quite smart.

Zuo Yinyang nodded after hearing this: "Su Li, I've been thinking about it these past few days. We can't always stay at home and do nothing. Life has to go on. I want to reopen this inn left by our ancestors."

"That's great. Our Shifang Inn is a time-honored brand. When I go shopping these days, some familiar merchants always ask me if I can come and stay at the hotel!" Su Li said happily.

Zuo Yinyang smiled and said: "If this store opens, there will be not enough manpower for just the three of us. My current appearance has not fully recovered, and it is inconvenient to go out. You have grown up in Xicheng since you were a child. You will go find someone later." Come here and tell me I want to hire someone.”

"Okay, I'll go to Yahang to look for you after dinner." Su Li nodded and responded.

Zuo Yinyang continued: "Also, if you see Wang Mazi pulling a cart, tell me that my inn is open, and you can come to the door and wait for work!"

Su Li: "Well, I can always see him in that handlebar position. It's strange! He really doesn't seem to have much work."

Cultivation cannot be achieved overnight. As the saying goes, wealth is indispensable for both the earth and the law. The thing Zuo Yinyang lacks most at the moment is wealth.

He is now considered an entry-level cultivator. It is very easy to earn some mortal wealth by going astray. Zuo Yinyang is not the Virgin of Foolishness, but considering the current situation, he still gives up this idea.

He knew that there was a ruthless net waiting for prey around him, and he also knew that there must be more than one pair of eyes watching his every move near him.

So he planned to put away all his little thoughts, continue to live in it, and grow slowly. After all, this is a real world. There is no grandfather, no system, and no one will give him a second chance.

Now he just wants to find a way to mobilize all the automatic resources that can be used to enhance his strength. The evil witch sacrifice is like a sharp sword hanging over his head, giving him a suffocating sense of urgency at all times. He doesn't know when the danger will come. Come to the door.

Zuo Yinyang asked again: "Remember, when you talk to Ren Yazi, you can casually mention Wang Baotou."

Su Li raised his head with an expression of understanding: "I understand, we have to let them know that the inn is covered by the king's head."

Zuo Yinyang smiled and patted Su Li's little head: "Smart!"

In the afternoon, Su Li brought Ren Yazi over.

I saw the man who came in, wearing short brocade clothes, in his forties or fifties, with a rosy face. At first glance, he looked like a handsome man.

Human Yazi Su Daman followed the lame Su Li and looked around secretly. When he saw the well-decorated furnishings, he sighed in his heart:

"The Zuo family's inn is not small. I heard that his family was killed and was going to be ruined. I didn't expect that the Zuo family boy came back alive. He was able to get back the benefits he swallowed from the government office. It looks like this What the little servant said is true. The relationship between the Zuo family and the king is definitely not simple. I can't neglect him for a while. "

"Young Master, this is the toothsmith from Qingshan Yaxing. His surname is Su like mine." Su Li turned around and introduced:

Zuo Yinyang put the branch in his hand aside, raised his hand towards the visitor and said, "Brother Su, you are polite. Please forgive my physical inconvenience for not being able to visit you."

Apparently Su Li had already given Su Daman instructions when he came, so after seeing Zuo Yinyang's terrifying appearance, his face was slightly surprised but quickly recovered, and then he replied with a smile on his face: "Young Master Zuo, you don't need to be polite. My home is not far from here, just walking distance.”

"My old man, Su Daman, has been working here for many years. He is praised by his friends in the world and has the nickname of 'full of people'. My boss and Wang Baotou are also old acquaintances."

"Oh! Since you are Brother Wang's friend, you are one of our own." Zuo Yinyang said deliberately: "Su Li, go make tea quickly. Brother Su, let's sit and chat in the shop."

As he spoke, he led Su Daman towards the inn lobby.

When Su Daman heard Zuo Yinyang's address to Wang Captou, his smile became even more attentive: "Young Master Zuo, you're so polite. I wonder what I can do for you?"

Zuo Yinyang led Su Daman to the table, and after the two of them sat down, he said to him: "Brother Su, we are all our own people, so I'll tell you the truth.

My Zuo family suffered a disaster half a year ago, and now there are only three masters and servants left. However, the inheritance of our ancestors cannot be buried in my hands, and I will have to eat and live in the future, so I thought of opening this inn again, but now My body has not fully recovered, and the two servants are too young, so I would like to ask you to help me find some reliable people to help me reopen this inn.

The cost will definitely not disappoint you. "

Su Daman waved his hand hurriedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Zuo, I don't dare to say anything else, but when it comes to hiring and selling people, our Qingshan Yaxing Store is definitely one of the best in the entire West City. I wonder if you have any plans in mind and who you need." ?”

Zuo Yinyang frowned and said, "Although I have some ideas in my mind, I am still young and dare not speak nonsense. Let me tell you the situation of this inn. You have rich experience and can give me some advice."

Then Zuo Yinyang gave a rough description of the entire inn's basic situation, approximate area, number of rooms, and previous business scope.

Su Daman thought for a while after listening to Zuo Yinyang's description and then said: "Your inn is not small. If it is fully spread out, there will be a counter owner in front and two or three waiters and foremen upstairs and downstairs. If you want to If you want better dishes for guests, you also need two cooks, one red desk and one white desk, plus helpers such as cooks and other chores. Not counting the two servants you have now, there will be at least four or five more people. If you still want to find a chef Girl, we need more people.”

Su Daman's words were roughly the same as Zuo Yinyang's judgment in his mind, so he said, "Brother Su is indeed experienced. I think so too. I wonder how much silver is needed to support Manchu now?"

Su Daman replied: "First of all, the counter manager cannot be careless. He needs to find an experienced one. According to the current market price, it will cost about ten taels of silver per month. The chefs in the red and white cases will cost about seven or eight taels each. Others If the clerk is in charge of food and accommodation, it will only cost about five yuan per person per month. If he is an apprentice who comes to learn a craft, just give him some money.

However, I suggest that Mr. Zuo can directly buy a few domestic slaves as assistants, which can save a lot of trouble. "

At this time, Su Li brought the tea over. While pouring tea for the two of them, he added: "Sir, it's not expensive to buy a domestic slave. When we stayed at the Salesian Bureau, there were many dolls that no one wanted. Woolen cloth!"

Hearing what Su Li said, Zuo Yinyang suddenly remembered that Liu Yiwen, the manager of the Salesian Bureau, once said that if the children they adopted had no future by the time they reached the age of twelve, they would be sent to the border to work as laborers.

So Zuo Yinyang thought about it secretly, and then said to Su Daman: "Let's do this, Brother Su, according to the salary standards you mentioned, you first help me find a reliable front desk manager, two cooks, and two more Dude, let’s talk about the others later.”

Su Daman replied: "No problem, I will help you keep an eye on it when I get back. If you find someone, I will take it directly and let you take a look."

Zuo Yinyang then chatted with Su Daman in detail for a while about the specific criteria of the person he was looking for. After Su Daman listened, he bowed and left the inn.
