057. Business
"New order, one caravan of five people."
"It's a new order, a caravan of seven people!"
"Master, there is a new order today, a caravan of three people."
As December enters, especially in the second half of the month, the business of Guanghan Palace is getting better and better.
Starting from December 15th, there are two or three orders almost every day. The wolves responsible for transport even had to rush to the foot of the mountain to continue transporting the next batch.
"Evil Queen, our snow wolf escort team is not enough. Can we ask other animals to be responsible for transporting it?"
"Okay, the Brown Bear Team, the Snow Leopard Team, and the Jackal Team, all go out to help!"
The business is ready, and Taozhaide's face is full of smiles.
Seeing Li Qingyou coming to report the bill every day, the inventory of Guanghan Palace increased day by day, which also means that he, the palace master, is more respectful outside, right?
That night, the sky outside had already dimmed. Li Qingyou walked into Taozhaide's room with the account book in his hand and reported to the Lord Guanghan Palace who was combing his hair for Xiao Kuaifu.
"Palace Lord, today is December 20th. Today, our turnover income is 20 Taitongguan. The operating expenses are 7 guan and 92 yuan, and the net income is 12 guan and 908 yuan. The total inventory of our Guanghan Palace is 312 Taitongguan. In addition, the warehouse where we piled up literary meat materials is already full. I think we should no longer need to receive meat materials in the future."
Taozhaide nodded. This was only the 20th day. The net income in December had far exceeded the total income in September, October and November.
The business is getting better and better. How can this make him unhappy?
but……
"It's strange."
When Taozhaide was excited, the little debt next to him was holding the blood gourd in his hand and tilting his head. She took a sip of the blood wine inside, frowned, and said, "We have earned 20 major Tongguan today, and the expenditure is... Seven and ninety-two articles? Uncle Li, I remember that on December 1, our expenditure was less than two cents. In the past twenty days, why do I always feel that our daily expenditure is getting more and more?"
Li Qingyou nodded, turned over another page of the account book again, and said, "The Little Palace Master is right. Our expenditures in the past twenty days are indeed increasing. But I think our expenditures in the next ten days should be roughly constant. But in the same way, income will probably drop rapidly."
He didn't wait for Taozhaide to ask, but started talking about the reason directly: "As for the reason, it's very simple. According to the request of the Evil Queen, the maximum number of guests we accept every day is 100."
Taozhaide nodded: "So what? We are receiving no more than ten people every day now?"
"It is indeed a maximum of ten people per day." Li Qingyou continued, "but the problem is that those guests who came to stay in the accommodation before rarely leave. In December, more and more guests come to check in every day, but fewer and fewer guests leave. Today, the 100 rooms provided by our Guanghan Palace are already full. So I'm afraid there is no way to receive more guests."
Hearing this sentence, Taozhaide was stunned for a moment.
After hearing this, Xiao Qiuxuan immediately jumped off the stool, ran to the window in three or two steps, and looked at the scenery below.
In the past, Guanghan Palace in the night was like this snow-capped mountain, blending into the darkness.
But tonight, looking at the entire Guanghan Palace, let alone the hot springs and places to visit, just the igloo rooms that are for guests to stay. Each of them emits candlelight, making the courtyard of the entire Guanghan Palace look very bright!
Tao Zhaide also came over and looked at it, saying, "Uh... it seems that there are indeed many people living here. How about safety?"
Li Qingyou smiled and said, "The Palace Master should not be too worried about this. Because of the sufficient meat, Evil Queen has mobilized a large number of animals to help. Nearly 10,000 birds of prey and beasts are all around Guanghan Palace. In addition to the ice guards you built by the Palace Master, even if these 100 guests immediately launched a riot, we can suppress them in an instant."
Since that's the case, Taozhaide also felt relieved.
But on the other hand, he was also a little strange and asked, "This is strange. Why are all the guests staying here and not leaving now?"
Li Qingyou closed the account book in his hand, frowned slightly, and said, "Yes, why are you staying here and not leaving? But Palace Master, I came this time for these people who stay here and stay still."
"According to our previous plan, our Guanghan Palace was set as a transit station, so it is often charged at a time, allowing those guests to stay overnight and let them leave after they stay here. But now, they are all staying here and refuse to leave, so we cannot accept new guests. We cannot make money."
This is indeed a big problem. Taozhaide quickly asked, "Yes, what should we do?"
Li Qingyou smiled and said, "It's very simple. In fact, we can ask these guests to continue to pay the accommodation fee. In terms of specific fees, the Evil Queen has already given instructions. Each person will be a great council every night. The young student came this time to ask for your approval from the Palace Master."
Taozhaide breathed a sigh of relief, nodded in agreement with a smile, without any doubt at all.
After discussing these things, Li Qingyou continued to flip through the account book and waited for a while.
Seeing that he didn't want to leave immediately, Taozhaide asked strangely: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Li Qingyou tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "It should be... it's not that Xiaosheng has something to do, but the palace lord, you should... have something to ask for instructions, right?"
This made Tao Zhaide feel strange. He asked, "Tell me? What else do I have to give?"
"Ah... Since the palace master didn't give any instructions, then the young actor will leave."
After saying that, Li Qingyou exited the room and closed the door.
Taozhaide was very surprised by Li Qingyou's reaction. He shook his head and continued to lean against the window, looking at the brightly lit courtyard below, smiling.
Xiao Qiuxuan next to him turned his head to look at his father, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Dad, are you really sure there is nothing to prepare? Nothing... Do you need to tell Uncle Li and the others what to do?"
Facing the question of Xiao Ou De, Tao Zhaide still looked confused. Seeing that his father still looked like he didn't know anything, the daughter could only sigh and ignore it.
The next morning, the saturated Guanghan Palace could no longer receive new guests. But just dawn, the guests who stayed at the accommodation had already walked out in groups of three or three. After a simple washing, they went to the martial arts performance venue there, and kept walking back and forth around, looking around, but not knowing what they were looking at.
Murong Minglan, who was getting up early, took her own washbasin. She originally wanted to come here to clean up and saw so many people in the martial arts field, and she couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
So many people gathered at the side of the martial arts performance. Even if he gave him a few more courage, this child would not have the face to practice in front of so many people.
"Oh, that one over there, that child!"
The guest walking around the martial arts venue saw Murong Minglan and waved directly
"Come here, I'll ask you."
Murong Minglan looked around and said, yes, there was only him, who could be considered a child. There was no way, who would let the guest be God? He exhaled and walked forward.
The guest looked around and pointed to the martial arts venue surrounded by many ice guards and said, "Hey, when will the duel start?"
"duel???"
The guest snorted and said, "Pretty, what else can I do? This matter has spread throughout the Central Plains Immortal World! Starting today, we have to spend a Datong Guan every day. We are not here just to take a vacation here."
Murong Minglan didn't understand even more. The groundhog balls on his shoulders also climbed up on his shoulders at this moment, raised their paws and swayed for a moment, "I'm talking about this guest, what are you talking about? We really don't know at all. What duel? Although we built a martial arts performance venue, it doesn't mean we will have a fairy fight performance."
