"Don’t say that, Sanni really has the potential to be a shopkeeper," Yang Ruxin watched with satisfaction as Sanni flitted about the shop like a butterfly, "In the future, she could definitely become the most formidable female boss in the Great Xuan Dynasty..."
"What about you?" Gu Qingheng looked up at her, and by now, he could see her silhouette clearly. Although he couldn’t make out her features, he knew his girl was the most beautiful.
"Me? I’m of course going to be the big boss behind the scenes," Yang Ruxin raised her eyebrows with pride, "I am the one who plans strategies behind the curtain, then I can secure victory from a thousand miles away..." She didn’t even realize she had used modern vocabulary.
"I forgot you were also an expert in military tactics..." Gu Qingheng chuckled. Although her words were odd, he could guess that ’boss’ probably meant ’shopkeeper,’ right?
Some people came in, and those who had been watching from outside also came over with a sense of curiosity. The price of eight or six copper coins wasn’t much, and even the poorest families could afford it since the food included both meat and eggs, and everyone felt it was especially worthwhile, especially with the buy-one-get-one-free deal. So, very quickly, the shop became somewhat crowded.
Yang Ruxin then had Xun Hui take a few of the younger ones to the back courtyard. There were three rooms in the back courtyard. One of the rooms was now used by Old Man Qian and Liang Zi to sleep, and the other two were empty, reserved for Yang Ruxin and her family when they came over to have a place to rest.
"I can help..." Xun Hui watched the kids bustling about and felt uncomfortable just resting.
"There’s no need for that," Yang Ruxin pushed Xun Hui and Feng Family to the back courtyard, "You go have tea and chat with Aunt Feng. We brought so many snacks over, if we run out, I’ll go buy more... It’s easy for the little ones to get into accidents out front..."
Feng Family pulled Xun Hui, who still seemed to want to say something, "Come on, let’s go rest in the back..."
Actually, sometimes that’s how business in a shop goes; when customers arrive, they come in droves, and once the rush is over, things tend to settle down.
"Aiya, I’ve made a hundred today," Erni said, waving her somewhat sore arms, but with excitement on her face, "If business could be like this every day, I wouldn’t mind being exhausted to death..."
"Are you dumb?" Sanni shot a look at Erni, "We’re doing a buy-one-get-one-free deal right now. If we did this every day, we’d go broke, wouldn’t we?"
Erni suddenly realized and laughed embarrassingly, "I forgot about that."
"I’ll take over for now," Gu Yao, who had been assisting Erni all along, chimed in, "It’s not busy, and I can do a decent job even if it’s slow... go rest..."
"Okay," Erni nodded with joy on her face.
Yang Ruxin nudged Gu Qingheng, "Ayao is pretty considerate, isn’t he..."
"Of course, he takes after me," Gu Qingheng nodded seriously.
Yang Ruxin then pinched Gu Qingheng’s nose, "Cheeky, aren’t you?"
"Hey, where are you putting those dirty paws?" Just then, someone rushed over and pulled Yang Ruxin’s hand away, "Such a handsome face, don’t let your claws spoil it..."
Yang Ruxin’s face was streaked with black lines, thinking who was this? But when she saw the round figure, she found it amusing, "Miss Cuicui, this is my man, I can do what I like, who do you think you are?"
Gu Qingheng had already wheeled himself back a distance the moment the other person charged over, thus avoiding Li Cuicui’s touch. Nevertheless, his expression turned sour, but when Yang Ruxin called him "my man," the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up slightly.
