In the box next door, Li Shimin, who had no idea of his identity and had been seen through by a little maid, was still enjoying the food.
During this period, Qin Ming was asked from time to time about the double-entry accounting method.
Qin Ming, on the other hand, answered Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong's questions slowly while eating.
On the table on the other side of the screen, the eldest grandson and the others were eating and listening with their ears perked up while the men chatted.
However, when Zhangsun occasionally glanced at Changle and Danyang, he would feel a little worried in his heart.
after lunch,
Everyone returned to the original private room, drinking tea and chatting.
The time soon came to the end of the day, the time agreed with Lu Guogong and others.
Duke Lu was the first to arrive, but what Qin Ming waited for was not the concern of Duke Lu, but a scolding.
"Boy, do you look down on Uncle Cheng?"
"Still treat Uncle Cheng as an outsider?"
"Is it so difficult to send someone to deliver a letter to my uncle's house?"
"If you don't give me an explanation, my uncle wants you to look good."
Qin Ming was sweating profusely at Cheng Yaojin's words. He could only apologize profusely, admitting that he was ignorant and too self-righteous, and swore to heaven that he never meant to look down on Uncle Cheng.
Yan Ming said that today he was going to bring gifts and come to ask for help, and he also promised to report to the Cheng Mansion as soon as possible if something happened.
Only then did Cheng Yaojin withdraw his magical power, snorted, and took the tea from Qin Ming's hand.
After Duke Lu arrived, Duke Qin Qiong of Yi State, Marquis Niu of Langya arrived, and servants of the house, She Lu, also arrived at the tea house one after another.
Of course, after everyone arrived, they scolded Qin Ming just like Cheng Yaojin.
Qin Ming apologized one by one again.
After everyone was seated, Qin Ming thought that the wine shop had been open for a month. Now that everyone was here, it was time to tell everyone about the profits.
So, he pointed to Yang Zijun beside him and said:
"This is Zijun, the accountant in my house. She is now responsible for all the accounts of the wine shop and tea house."
Everyone nodded after hearing this, indicating that they understood, but they had not seen Yang Zijun's ability since they came in the afternoon.
They looked at the veiled girl with somewhat doubtful eyes about her ability.
Seeing this, the Prince of Hejian County stroked his long beard and said to the newcomers:
"Don't look at this young lady, she is very capable. In a short time, she found many problems in the tea house's accounts. She is much better than the accountant in my house."
Everyone looked at the Hejian County Prince's serious expression.
Realizing that he was not joking, everyone looked at Yang Zijun with serious eyes.
Qin Ming was afraid that the King of Hejian County would bring up what happened in the morning and cause him to lose a few more maids. So, he hurriedly said:
"Zi Jun, please tell me the profit of the wine shop this month."
Yang Zijun nodded after hearing this.
She had been in the private room in the afternoon, and she also observed carefully. When the princes looked at them, the expressions of Li Shimin and the eldest grandson were indeed what Wan'er said.
At this time, after hearing Qin Ming's words, she retracted her thoughts, then walked to Qin Ming without being humble or arrogant, looked at the many ministers in the court, and said:
"As of yesterday, the wine shop now has a total of 30,000 guan. There are 2,000 jars of high-alcohol wine, 500 jars of alcohol, and 20,000 jars of low-alcohol wine in the warehouse. The total profit last month was 30,000 guan."
Everyone's faces turned red and excited when they heard this. They didn't expect that in less than a month, they would actually get such a high profit. And this is when most of the production capacity is used to produce alcohol.
Qin Ming also nodded when he heard this and said:
"Uncles, with this month's profit, my nephew plans to use it to buy a restaurant and expand the scale of his workshop. He will start sharing the profits with each government from next month. What do you think, uncles?"
When Duke Lu heard this, he stood up with a blushing face and took the lead in expressing his opinion:
"My dear nephew, you just have to make arrangements for these things. Uncle will listen to you."
Others nodded.
Only Li Shimin interrupted at this time:
"My dear nephew, since you want to open a restaurant specializing in selling this high-altitude wine, do you want to give it a name?"
Fang Xuanling nodded and said:
"What Alang said makes sense, and it does deserve a name."
Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin laughed and said:
"I like to give names the most. I think this wine is enjoyable to drink, so why not call it enjoyable?"
Qin Qiong, Duke of Yi State, frowned and said:
"Zhijie, what's your name? Don't be ridiculous."
Fang Xuanling rolled her eyes and thought to herself:
"Vulgar warrior."
Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh when he saw everyone was deep in thought:
"My good nephew thought..."
Before Qin Ming could wait for Li Shimin to finish his words, he thought of Erguotou, which he preferred to drink in his previous life, and said:
"Why don't you just call me Erguotou?"
Li Shimin originally wanted to suggest calling it Zhenguan Wine, but when he heard Qin Ming's suggestion, he couldn't help but be curious and asked:
"Why is it called Erguotou?"
Qin Ming stood up and explained to everyone the origin of the name Erguotou, and also talked about the brewing process in general.
When everyone learned that the name was related to the brewing process.
They all nodded, agreeing with Qin Ming's name.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Shimin stopped fighting for the naming rights. He just sighed in his heart that he had missed an opportunity that would be remembered forever.
After that, everyone said that they would arrange for their followers to go to Qinjiazhuang tomorrow to help protect Zhuangzi.
After everything was discussed and the time had come, Qin Ming sent everyone on the carriage back to the mansion and declined Duke Lu's invitation.
Then he led everyone on the way back home.
Sitting on the carriage, Qin Ming looked at Xiao Qingwan and the three girls and said:
"Thank you for your hard work today. Have a good rest when you get home."
After hearing this, the women quickly shook their heads to express that it was not hard.
Qin Ming leaned on the carriage and said:
"Then the young master will tell you about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" next?"
Mou Tu's eyes lit up when he heard this and said:
"Yeah."
Yang Zijun shook his head, looked at Qin Ming who looked slightly tired and said:
"Sir, you have been talking all day, and you are tired after all. Please rest for a while. You can tell the story later."
Qin Ming was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Yang Zijun would care about whether he was tired today.
But he still nodded and said:
"Oh well."
After saying that, he leaned back on his seat, closed his eyes and rested.
Seeing that Mou Tu had heard no more stories, he lowered his head, looking aggrieved.
Seeing this, Yang Zijun leaned close to her ear and said:
"Okay, when I come to my house, I'll tell you about the head office from the beginning, right?"
Mou Tu's eyes gleamed when he heard this, and he watched Yang Zijun nod her head fiercely. When Yang Zijun and Xiao Qingwan saw this, they were both amused by her cute appearance.
Xiao Qingwan looked at the young master who was gradually falling asleep next to her, her eyes full of heartache.
She was afraid that Qin Ming would be uncomfortable sleeping with his head against the car wall, so she put her arms around Qin Ming's body and asked him to rest his head on her shoulder.
But later, when Yang Zijun saw that Qingwan was a little tired, he took the initiative to sit on the other side of Qin Ming and moved his heavy body to her side.
Qingwan looked at her cousin's red ears, smiled, and gave her an encouraging look.
