Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 52: Merit 1

Listening to Yun Yan's laughter gradually fading away, Zhao Pingxiu almost vomited blood.

What kind of person is this? How can he be so hateful!

When his son graduated from high school and became a high-ranking official, he would have his son take care of the Yun family first. Especially this Yun family kid Yan, he would have to be the first to be attacked, making him wish he could neither live nor die.

Yun Xi and Yun Huaian didn't say anything to Yun Yan about flirting with Zhao Pingxiu and making him so angry.

Not only did he not say anything, Yun Huaian even patted him on the shoulder and praised him for a good job.

Yun Xi knew that her second brother was just venting his anger on the Zhao family, so she couldn't say anything. She felt warm in her heart. It was really good to have her brother protecting her.

Yun Yan drove all the way to the city gate before returning the reins and whip to Guo Wei.

There were many people entering the city, and Yun Yan's driving skills were not yet proficient, so no one dared to let him continue driving, fearing that something might happen.

After entering the city, the carriage went straight to Penglai Teahouse.

After entering the backyard through the back door, he arranged accommodation for Yun Huaiyuan before handing him over to the owner of the teahouse.

"Manager Fang, I'm leaving my uncle in your care. Please take good care of him. Take him to get familiar with the work process in the next two days. I'll need a few days to come up with a renovation plan for the teahouse. I'll come back to you when I'm done."

The teahouse owner bowed and said, "Please rest assured, young lady. I will take good care of Shopkeeper Yun and familiarize her with all matters of the teahouse, and try to get her started as soon as possible."

Yun Huaian also quickly imitated Shopkeeper Fang and bowed to him, "Shopkeeper Fang, thank you for your help."

Seeing that there was nothing else to do for the time being, Yun Xi went back to the backyard of the Seven Star Tower with Yun Yan.

She will draw up a renovation plan for the teahouse in the next two days.

Let’s not start the renovation for now. The teahouse has only been open for less than two years and the decoration is still quite new, so there’s no need to spend a lot of effort on it.

However, the furnishings need to be rearranged. The teahouse's business model also needs to be slightly changed, and some marketing methods also need to be used.

Yun Xi wrote, drew, and revised in her room. It took her three days to finally draw up a renovation plan for the teahouse from start to finish.

During these three days, Yun Huaian has almost figured out what a teahouse owner should do.

It was also because of the good guidance of Master Fang, who really told Yun Huaian everything he knew. He even told Yun Huaian how to manage the waiters and some tips on dealing with customers.

Yun Huaian has benefited a lot these days. He has an active mind, and he can understand some things with just a little guidance from Shopkeeper Fang.

This made Manager Fang feel particularly accomplished and extremely satisfied.

He felt that he could leave with peace of mind after handing the teahouse over to Yun Huaian.

Just when Shopkeeper Fang was sighing that Yun Huaian was a teachable boy, Yun Xi came with her plan, and naturally followed by her good second brother Yun Yan.

In a private room on the first floor that is not open to the public.

Yun Xi told everyone her teahouse renovation plan one by one.

Sitting opposite him were Yun Yan, Yun Huaian, Manager Fang and Acai, all listening carefully to her plan.

Yun Yan had already read the plan she wrote, and was not surprised at anything she said.

Moreover, he is a sister-con. In his eyes, what his sister says is always good and right.

But the others were different. They had never seen the plan, nor had they seen Yunxi's work style, so they were somewhat skeptical about her transformation plan. They couldn't understand some parts, and they disagreed with some parts.

For example, Yun Xi decided to renovate the corner platform on the first floor. The calligraphy works would remain unchanged, but the large desk and the four treasures of the study in the middle of the corner platform would have to be moved to the side.

The truth is that few people use it all year round. It's just a decoration.

She plans to put a table there and hire a storyteller to tell stories to the guests of the teahouse at several time periods every day. This will also attract more customers.

But Manager Fang felt that this would lower the grade of the teahouse. To put it bluntly, it would make the originally high-end and elegant teahouse become tacky.

Yun Xi asked, "Manager Fang, what is the main purpose of opening this teahouse?"

"To make money, of course."

Yun Xi smiled, "Yes, our goal is only one, to make money in an honest way. As for vulgarity and elegance, that is not within my consideration."

Shopkeeper Fang seemed to be thinking about something, and Yun Huaian suddenly felt that it made sense.

Yun Xi also knew that she had different ways of thinking from them. They all respected scholars very much. It was normal for them to have opinions about the corner stage that was set up specifically for scholars and was changed by her.

In fact, he also knew that some of the opinions of Manager Fang and his uncle were also for the good of the teahouse.

So, she won't care, but she won't listen to their opinions either.

She made the final decision, "The renovation plan for the teahouse will be as I said. We will suspend business starting tomorrow, and when the teahouse closes later, we will hang up a sign and go out."

After talking about all the transformation plans, she asked about Acai's accounting.

Acai had been transferred here for a few days, from a waiter to an accountant in charge of finances. His monthly salary also increased from one tael to two taels. While Acai was excited, he was also a little terrified, fearing that he would not do a good job.

When he heard Yun Xi mention the accounting, he hurriedly replied respectfully, "Miss, give me two more days, and I will definitely be able to start accounting with the new accounting method."

The accounting method of the teahouse is the traditional accounting method of ancient times, which uses capital numbers to record all the accounts. This is not only troublesome to record the accounts, but also time-consuming and laborious to check the accounts.

Therefore, Yunxi asked Acai to learn Arabic numerals and use them to keep accounts in the future.

This Ah Cai had also come into contact with this person in Qixing Building. He was not unfamiliar with digital accounting, but he had never actually practiced it.

After Yun Yan's explanations over the past few days, he has already learned most of it. He thinks that two more days will be enough.

Yun Xi nodded, "Well, don't be too anxious. It won't be too late to talk about it after you are thoroughly familiar with it. If you don't understand, just ask my second brother."

At first, Shopkeeper Fang was not optimistic about this new way of accounting. He thought that he had been a shopkeeper for so many years and had handled hundreds of account books, if not thousands. How could there be any new accounting method that was better than his own?

However, after listening to Yun Yan's explanation, he immediately realized the simplicity and speed of using numbers to record accounts.

If this accounting method is promoted, it can not only be used in business, but also in other aspects, which will greatly facilitate things.

This is a good deed.

So, in the past two days, while Manager Fang was teaching Yun Huaian how to be a qualified teahouse manager, he was also learning new accounting methods.

He planned to ask for credit from his master once he had learned it.

If his master knew that he learned this from Miss Yun, then, hehehehe...

The master will surely praise him for his intelligence, bah, he will surely think that he is still strong despite his old age.

Uh...that doesn't seem right.

Anyway, the master will find some precise and beautiful words to praise him in various ways.
