The Rough Hunter’s Little Lucky Wife - Chapter 130 - Strange
Zhao Zhan lowered his eyes and thought about Manager Li’s reaction just now. “Manager Li is an experienced man. He has been guarding the Rising Cloud Inn all this time. How could he have changed the upper floor into a private room that easily? He also looks like he’s in need of some money…”
“You’re right,” Yue Jiaojiao muttered softly after a moment of silence, “I’ll give it a try and find out when he comes back later.”
“Jiaojiao?”
“It’s fine. I haven’t had a sixth sense for a long time. I want to try it out. It won’t be a problem.”
Just as she finished speaking, Manager Li knocked on the door.
!!
Zhao Zhan and Yue Jiaojiao looked at each other and said in a low voice, “Please, come in.”
Manager Li placed the accounts book for the past few days in front of Zhao Zhan.
“I have to be honest, the inn’s business hasn’t been very good recently, so the share of the money is 15 silver. You can check it again.”
Fifteen silver?
Zhao Zhan furrowed his brows. “If that’s the case, the tofu that has been delivered recently can’t be used up at all.”
“My sister-in-law would send two plates of tofu every time. I checked the account book. In this case, at least an entire plate of tofu has not been used. Why haven’t you said anything?”
The more soybeans were used, the less they earned. It was still uncertain how the harvest would be in the future. Zhao Zhan felt that it was a pity to waste them like this.
“Well…” Manager Li looked nervous. “I’ve put more tofu in my dishes recently, so it’s easier to use it.”
“Manager Li.” Yue Jiaojiao had a contemplative expression on her face, “When we were standing in the main hall, I saw the waiter serving the dishes. There wasn’t a lot of tofu in that dish. In fact, it was even less than ten percent of the amount we agreed on at the beginning.”
Manager Li laughed awkwardly. “Every dish has a different plate arrangement. Madam Zhao, you might have made a mistake just now.”
“Don’t argue here. I snatched a plate from downstairs.” Fang Tialiu pushed the door open and entered the room triumphantly. “Don’t look at me like that. I compensated that person with silver. I just happened to hear you talking at the door, so I thoughtfully brought one up.”
As he spoke, he placed the tofu in his hand on the table and could not help but click his tongue twice.
“I don’t want to criticize you, but just know that my brother trusted you, so he signed a contract with you to do this tofu business, yet you didn’t even cherish this.
“You should know that from Wangshan to Huai County, and even to Hekou County, there are many people who want to do tofu business with my brother. Why did you lie to him?
“Although I can feel that there are fewer guests these few days, it’s nonsense to say that even two plates of tofu can’t be finished. I was bored and chatted with the guests downstairs for a while.
“They said that when they came early for the tofu, the shop assistant told them that the tofu had been sold out.
“If it’s really sold out, your share of the money shouldn’t match, right?”
Manager Li’s forehead was covered in a cold sweat.
When did Fang Tianliu grow a brain?
“Please…” Manager Li’s face was bitter, “I really had no other choice. I had no choice but to do this. I promise I won’t do it again!”
Yue Jiaojiao, who had been silent all this while, suddenly asked, “Manager Li, have you encountered any difficulties recently? ”
Manager Li’s expression stiffened for a moment, then he hurriedly waved his hand. “I’ve been lacking money recently, so I had no choice but to come up with such a foolish plan. Please don’t hit me. I will definitely fill up this shortage of money as soon as possible.”
“You lack money?” Fang Tianliu sneered. “Who are you trying to fool? Your business is the best in the entire Wangshan. What do you lack-!”
“Father!”
Fang Tianliu looked at the person who rushed in from outside the door when they spoke, and he subconsciously swallowed the rest of his words, his face turning red.
