Chapter 1255: Chapter 1255: Agree

Five days later, Prince Qi Residence would host a full moon celebration.

The gift for the wife of Prince Rui had to be made within these five days. Before leaving, Su Yunjin instructed her elder sister, Su Ningxiu, to make sure the sachet and cloth tiger were completed within the timeframe.

Both the sachet and the cloth tiger were small items and not difficult to make. Su Ningxiu calculated that she did not need five days; she could help her younger sister finish these items within three days.

"Little sister, don’t worry! I will deliver the items to you in three days, and you will definitely be satisfied," Su Ningxiu assured her, patting her chest. Su Yunjin also had great trust in Su Ningxiu’s embroidery skills and believed that the sachet and cloth tiger would be well-made.

After leaving her elder sister’s house, Gu Ya mentioned he was going to Zuixiang Restaurant to arrange for clerks to deliver fruit wine to Fuman Building and several other restaurants in town. All these restaurants had contracts signed with them before Zuixiang Restaurant burned down, agreeing to deliver wine monthly. Initially, when Zuixiang Restaurant had caught fire, Gu Ya and Su Yunjin had offered a 20% discount to get these restaurants to agree to postpone the delivery of the fruit wine for a few months.

Now that Zuixiang Restaurant had reopened, it was natural to deliver the fruit wine to these restaurants. Gu Ya arranged for clerks in the distillery, while Su Yunjin observed from the side.

The clerks were temporarily hired by Gu Ya as the permanent clerks needed to remain in the store to sell the fruit wine and could not be spared. He had temporarily hired a dozen clerks to deliver fruit wine to different restaurants. Among these clerks, Gu Ya also selected a few to be managers.

The selected managers were responsible not only for delivering the wine but also for collecting money. Of course, Gu Ya promised to give each selected manager additional silver.

After arranging the wine delivery, Gu Ya had delivered fruit wine to all the contracted restaurants by the end of the day. That evening, Su Yunjin sat under an oil lamp to calculate their earnings.

On the second day after opening, the business in the store was also very good; the profit not only had not decreased but had even increased by several hundred taels from the first day.

Over two days, Zuixiang Restaurant had earned nearly seven thousand taels of silver. Su Yunjin was overjoyed. At this rate, she and Gu Ya would soon be able to buy a large house, land, and fields in the town; they could even hire several servants to serve them.

Su Yunjin, delighted, said, "Husband, it seems our decision to expand Zuixiang Restaurant was absolutely right; we are now earning several times more silver per day than we initially did."

Su Yunjin planned to further expand the store once they had earned enough money, aiming to make it as big as Lady Qin’s Fuman Building, potentially occupying an entire street.

Joyfully thinking about expanding Zuixiang Restaurant, Gu Ya was planning another matter. The business was indeed doing well, but keeping up with the production of the fruit wine was essential. Within two days of opening, half of Zuixiang Restaurant’s fruit wine had sold out. If he was to brew the wine alone, he definitely couldn’t manage.

Thus, after much thought, Gu Ya planned to hire a few clerks to help them brew the wine, which would make the process much easier.

He intended to discuss this matter with his wife.

"Yunjiang, I have something to discuss with you," Gu Ya suddenly spoke seriously into Su Yunjin’s ear.

Su Yunjin set down her ledger and looked at Gu Ya with joy, "Husband, what do you want to discuss?" Her face was full of happiness from the profits they had made over the past two days.
