Chapter 686: Chapter 686 They Have Arrived

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhou Ying curiously went forward to take a look. She did not expect that their income would be so varied.

However, nearly half of it was corruption and bribery. Another portion was the filial piety of the officials below. Finally, it was the official income from King Hui’s Residence.

Also, these regular incomes only accounted for about 30% of the total.

Zhou Ying shook her head when she saw this. It seemed the lightning strike last time was too light. Unfortunately, her current strength was limited, or else she would have struck him to death.

“Mistress, it’s getting late. Do you want to rest first?” At this moment, Qiuxiang came in with some clothes.

“Chengrui hasn’t come back yet,” Zhou Ying replied immediately. “Boil a pot of water and go rest.”

“Yes.” Qiuxiang responded and turned to leave.

However, she still left two maidservants behind.

Zhou Ying did not say anything when she saw this. Instead, she looked at King Rui’s Residence and saw that the group of people were still discussing something.

She directly sent a voice transmission to Gu Chengrui, telling him to sleep there with Zhou Huaiming and that there was no rush to come back.

Seeing that he nodded, Zhou Ying asked the maidservants to bring some water in and inform the gatekeeper before they went to sleep.

After Zhou Ying finished washing up, she closed the door and windows and entered her interspace to get busy.

For the next few days, perhaps King Kang had been tormented until he ran out of energy or for some other reason, but he temporarily stopped pestering them.

She did not know that King Kang was frightened.

He knew very well that he had been sabotaged, but he couldn’t find any clues. Thus, he could only ask Consort Shu for help. Consort Shu did not have a clue, so she could only calm him down and ask him not to make any more moves. Five days later, the people from their hometown arrived in the capital.

Gu Chengrui and Zhou Huaiming brought some guards to pick them up with the goods.

What Zhou Ying didn’t expect was that Sun Hongliang also came.

When she saw him, she asked in surprise, “Brother Sun, why are you here? Isn’t the restaurant open for business?”

“Brother Zhao is watching the restaurant.

“While I send these people off, I can also report to you the accounts over the past six months.” After Sun Hongliang finished speaking, he handed her a booklet.

Zhou Ying flipped through it. The first part was income mainly from selling beef, mutton, and sweet potato sprouts. The last part was the 6,000 taels of silver earned during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Next was the reopening of the restaurant. However, there were only expenses and no income at the moment.

She asked curiously, “How many dumplings did you sell? How did you earn so much during the festival?”

“Mainly from the merchants who come and go, buying the dumpling as travel expenses. There are also some who bought those dumplings in batches to be sold at different docks.

“At that time, I gathered women from three villages for their help for six days. “I had to buy a lot of glutinous rice through my uncle, Manager Liu, too.” “I see. How’s the restaurant’s business now?” Zhou Ying nodded and asked. With the rice that she had distributed, it would be good if they could even earn 2,000 taels of silver from it.

“Although it’s not as popular as when it first opened, we can still earn about

100 taels a day because the dock has returned to normal.

“If we want business to recover fully, we would have to wait at least another year.”

“That’s true. After three to four years of disasters, the people must have suffered greatly. It’s difficult to recover in a short period of time. Oh, right, Hongyun Restaurant has opened for business, right?” Zhou Ying asked.

“Yes, it’s opened. Currently, it is on par with our restaurant’s income, but they are busier than us.”

“It’s fine as long as business can be maintained. By the way, how many people have come along this time? Is there enough manpower at home?” “Don’t worry, I left enough workforce there.

“As for the kitchen helpers, there are a total of six newbies and veterans combined.

“Li Si and nine others who knew martial arts also came.

“I don’t know if they’re enough. If not, I’ll think of another way..1
