    At night, alone in the house, Yu Shu moved the small horse and squatted by the stove to burn the tortoise shells. She was really helpless. In the blink of an eye, Jing Chen had been missing for more than ten days. She searched all the places where he might have gone, but couldn't find it.  Although Xue Rui and Pei Jing helped find out who caught him, she still couldn't let go. She didn't know Jing Chen's birth date and couldn't calculate his safety. She could only use the oldest divination method to predict his fate.  I wonder if he is safe now.  The method of tortoise divination is very simple. Burn the tortoise shell with fire and judge the good or bad luck from the cracks on the armor. No matter what your wish, purpose or request, you can get enlightenment. This is what the book "Gu Ce Zhuan" says. It seems easy.  , but if you really want to make a prediction, the key depends on the quality of the tortoise shell.  The back shell of an ordinary small turtle is almost useless. It has to be at least twenty years old before it can be somewhat accurate. After every ten years, it is more likely to be accurate. The white-headed turtle, red-tailed turtle, and yellow-footed turtle  The most accurate method is to plant turtle shells. A turtle shell that is twenty years old can often be sold for hundreds of taels of silver. It is useless after being burned once. People who are not rich really cannot afford this. Therefore, although turtle divination can help with everything, it is useless.  Few people rely on it, after all, the century-old tortoise is much harder to find than Master Yi.  The one Yu Shu bought was definitely 30 years old, but relatively speaking it was not easy to bake. She carefully roasted it for almost half an hour before cracks appeared and it made a "bubble" sound.  Clamping the burned tortoise board under the lamp with pliers, Yu Shu carefully observed the lines on it. It was not difficult to see the hexagram symbols, and distinguished the most obvious elephant characters. He wrote them down on paper, and then compared them with the tortoise divination formulas in the book.  After waiting for a long time, I could only vaguely come up with a guess - Jing Chen was safe and sound now.  As for whether this speculation is mainly based on the hexagram or her mood, only she knows clearly. ??????????????????????????????? Anyway, Yu Shu felt a lot more at ease, put away the useless tortoise shell, put out the stove, washed his hands and went to bed, thinking about buying another one tomorrow. Calculating in which direction Jing Chen was, it would be easier to find someone.  In the morning, Yu Shu went to Wangji Building. Xue Rui gave her a few account details and left in a hurry. Yu Shu spent half a day checking the accounts of Wangji Building clearly. Regarding the prices of meals and drinks, each  The monthly purchase limit includes taxes and expenses for a group of employees.  Yu Shu had never been in business in her previous life, but her reputation as a junior sister in the actuarial industry was not for nothing, especially because she had developed a sharp eye in the insurance industry. After reading the account books twice, she could spot several loopholes.  First, the working capital purchased by the restaurant every month is one thousand guan. If it is insufficient, it can be supplemented. If there is excess, it will be handed over. Lin Fu is responsible for all this.  The job of purchasing is rich in oil and water, and it is inherently risky to leave it to one person. In addition, there are no specific regulations on the prices of ingredients and pots and pans. It is up to one person to decide whether it is more or less. Lin Fu  It would be fine if you were not greedy, but if you were a little bit greedy and deducted one or two hundred taels of silver a month, you would be unaware of it.  Secondly, there are three types of taxes. One is the land tax, the second is the head tax, and the third is the sales tax. This land tax depends on the land. Like Xue Ruidi, in this bustling street, you have to pay fifty guan every month.  The money is delivered bimonthly. The headcount is the total number of employees in the store. Each person is charged one tael, which is fifteen taels a month. Finally, there is the sales tax, which is the so-called transaction tax. Thirty percent of the profit must be extracted according to the restaurant's account book.  Four-quarters, which is almost thirteen points of tax, is not a small amount of money.  There is no problem with any of this. The problem is that Yu Shu asked two accountants for questioning and found that they were jointly responsible for the total monthly account expenses and profits, but none of them was responsible for clear accounting. The so-called clear accounting, to put it bluntly, is  Fake accounts, usually people who do business have two books, one for the officials to see, and one for themselves. In ancient times, there were no invoices, and it all depends on the account books. It is convenient to make fake accounts, but Yu Shu didn't believe it.  The ancients were so stupid that they didn't know how to create two accounts.  There must be many businessmen taking advantage of this loophole, but for a business as big as Xue Rui's, there is no arrangement. How much money will be paid this month? Yu Shu sent the accountant out to do some work, put down the account book, and kept muttering in his heart, he couldn't figure it out.  Zhun Xue Rui had no intention of taking advantage of the tax revenue. He wanted to do business in a clean manner, or he had other plans.  "Girl, the food is ready. Would you like to go to the front to eat, or should it be brought upstairs to you?" Lin Fu's question came from outside the door.  Yu Shu was not very hungry. She had been sitting here all morning, and Xiaodie Xiaoqing had come to deliver tea at least three times. Because it was so delicious and beautifully presented, she accidentally ate a few more pieces.  But the meal was ready, and it would be a waste not to eat it. It would be a good idea to take the opportunity to check out the dishes in this restaurant. Yu Shu got up and opened the door and said to Lin Fu: "Don't bother, I'll eat in front." The restaurant hasn't opened yet, and it's Chinese New Year.  The front door of the store is closed, and the front building is very quiet. On a large round table of jujube wood in the east, there is a table of dishes, no less than sixteen or seventeen dishes, delicacies, including chicken, duck, fish and shrimp, venison and raccoon dogs, the most popular  What he was looking at was a whole big old turtle boiled in a white porcelain basin.  Yu Shu grinned and said to Lin Fu: "Why do you cook so much? It depends on my appetite." Lin Fu said with a smile: "Young Master told me yesterday that I would cook all the signature dishes in the restaurant."??Try it, the table can't be set, and the cook has seven or eight dishes left behind.  " Yu Shu was considered a person who had seen big events in his previous life, but he had never had the experience of enjoying such a sumptuous meal alone. Moreover, in later generations, environmental protection, some game was illegal to eat, unlike in ancient times, where all kinds of birds and beasts were dared to be eaten with wine.  Besides, the price of this full table is probably not more than a hundred taels of silver. It's too wasteful. It's better to give it to her in cash. "Where are the others? Have they all had lunch?" Yu Shu turned around and saw that.  Lin Fu and Gui Liuer said: "Girl, use it first.  " Yu Shu then sat down at the table and said, "Guiliu, go and find the others. Let's try something new together. Don't just eat it by myself. I won't have any appetite."  " It's not that she's showing off, but that she's using the wine table to explore everyone's character. Guiliu went to see Lin Fu, and Lin Fu hesitated and said: "Girl, this is not good.  ¡± Looking at him, Yu Shu raised his chopsticks and tapped them on the table, picked up a piece of white bamboo shoots, and tasted it. The taste was really good. She knew that Xue Rui would not put on a show and create such a big facade.  Lin Fu was a shrewd man, and when he saw that Yu Shu was silent, he knew that what he just said was not right, so he turned to Guiliu and said, "Go and get Master Gong Qin and his wife.  Your two brothers, as well as Xiaodie and Xiaoqing, all called over to accompany the girl to dinner.  " Guiliu then ran to call for someone. After a while, there were six more people in front of the table. The accountant went home, and the two handymen couldn't get to the table. Yu Shu asked them to sit down and see how many more people there were.  Kong then said to Guiliu: "Go and call the people in charge of the spoons and let them go. This table is enough for us."  " Guiliu ran another errand and took three cooks back to the table, and now the table was full. Lin Fu sat on Yu Shu's left hand side, and Xiu Qing, the cook, sat on her right hand. She picked up the wine pot and  After filling the cups for the two of them first, Lin Fu hurriedly took the cups, but Xiu Qing said her thanks calmly and humbly, "Come on, pour the wine on. Let's have a cup first to celebrate being together today.  Get together.  "Yu Shu stood up and raised his glass. Everyone was so proud that they stood up to raise their glasses and touched each other. Gui Liuer laughed and said, "Thanks to the lotus girl, I have never had a drink with so many people.  .  "Haha, please sit down," Yu Shu put down his wine glass and saw that no one was using his chopsticks. He looked at her one by one and waited for her to give orders. She immediately became happy and realized that she was also a leader now, which felt not bad.  "Don't be stunned. Use your chopsticks. The person holding the spoon is on the table. If you eat less, you will offend others, haha.  " Yu Shu made a joke, and there was laughter on the table, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed. While eating, Yu Shu would raise a cup to invite them to drink from time to time. After three rounds, someone showed his drunkenness, and she said something  Test and get a clear view of everyone's reactions. Let me talk about Lin Fu first. He is a smooth and quick-witted person. The cook Xiu Qing doesn't talk much. Gong Wen has a gentle temper as her name suggests. His wife Bai is shy and has a sweet mouth.  Fast and oily, expensive and naive, the other two chefs seem to be following the lead of the chef. Overall, this group of people is quite interesting. They can be regarded as elites in all walks of life. I don¡¯t know.  How did Xue Rui get it together? One meal was not enough for Yu Shu to find out their details and win over people, but at least it left a good impression. After the meal, Yu Shu returned to her rest room and put them together.  The account was sorted and locked in the cabinet under the bookshelf. He took off the key, went downstairs and said hello to Lin Fu, then left through the back door with a bunch of keys. Xue Rui not only gave her the account this morning, but also handed it over.  He gave her the keys to the various rooms in Wangji Building, including the small vault in the backyard, to show his trust. Yu Shu knew that Xue Rui was not stupid. He was so reassured because he knew where her lair was and would not abscond with the money. After all.  Even if a monk can escape, he cannot escape from the temple. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there are still not many people on the street, but there are lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere, everyone is wearing new clothes and coats, and they are full of joy. At least there will be more than there will be during the Chinese New Year five hundred years later.  There was more atmosphere. Yu Shu drank two bowls of tortoise soup for lunch, and now he felt very warm. He walked around the nearby streets twice and found a Dayi restaurant that was open. He wanted to buy another tortoise shell and cook it in the evening.  Let¡¯s check which direction Jing Chen went to and where she would try her luck tomorrow. After choosing a tortoise shell, Yu Shu painfully took out a large banknote and secretly gritted his teeth, regretting that he didn¡¯t let Old Man Qingzheng teach him.  She used a method to find someone to deal with Jing Chen, who ran around with long legs. When she got home, it was in the afternoon. He Fangzhi took Yu Xiaoxiu out, and Zhao Hui and the maid were warming themselves by the fire in the house, playing with needlework. Shen Ma was also there, and Yu.  Shu hadn't told her yet about helping Xue Rui open the restaurant. Firstly, she didn't know how to explain Xue Rui's identity. Secondly, she was still thinking about entering the Taishi Book Garden. Zhao Hui waved to Yu Shu and sat down on the couch next to her.  Half of the quilt on his lap was given to her, covering her legs. She put down her needlework and started talking. She was askingWhen she was eating outside at noon, she heard the boy outside the door saying: "Madam, we have guests."
