Jiang Zhennan was just like Lin Yuelan. He was extremely surprised that there would be a net profit of three hundred taels of silver in a month.
This was a 30 – 70 split, which meant that Yuelai Inn made more than 1000 taels in a month. If added with the other profits like accommodation, the profit would be at least2000 to 3000 taels. And this was the profit margin of an inn in a small town.
It was worth noting that even a large restaurant in a big city could barely make a profit of two to three thousand taels a month.
Jiang Zhennan was really curious. Were the dishes in this restaurant really that delicious?
Jiang Zhennan was a bit wrong with his assumptions. He had no idea that the cost of the fish was quite low, so the profit was considerable.
After Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan came out of Yuelai Inn, they went for a walk, followed by Liu Jiaying.
The two girls held hands and strolled around. However, Lin Yuelan was not really a child, so she was calmer than the average person.
Other than the first time when everything was new, Lin Yuelan had lost all her interest in looking around the town already. Usually, she would leave after getting the stuff she wanted.
Jiang Zhennan followed behind her. When he saw Lin Yuelan’s sincere smile, he couldn’t help but be a little dazed. Her smile seemed to have magic, and he couldn’t look away every time.
Lin Yuelan felt someone looking at her and felt a little puzzled. She looked around, but there was no one else except Jiang Zhennan.
However, when Lin Yuelan looked at Jiang Zhennan, his eyes were clear. Lin Yuelan didn’t know what to make of it, so she didn’t.
After walking around for a while, they went to the Linyue Pavilion. However, when they passed by the Xiangyun Pavilion, they saw that there were only a few guests inside. ‘You look down on me in the past. Shame.’
When Xiao Li saw Lin Yuelan, his eyes immediately lit up. He said in surprise, “Miss Lin, you’re here!” When they were outside, Xiao Li would call Lin Yuelan Miss Lin.
Then, he continued, “the shopkeeper has been talking about you for the past two days. He said that you haven’t come to see us for a long time!”
Lin Yuelan walked into the shop and looked at the smiling attendant who was introducing the clothes to the customers in an orderly manner. She couldn’t help but nod and think, ‘these people are not bad.’
When the other shop assistants saw Lin Yuelan, they also greeted her politely, “Miss Lin!”
Xiao Li brought Lin yuelan into the inner room. As soon as they entered, Xiao Li shouted, “Manager Li, miss Lin is here.”
Manager Li ran out of the room in a hurry. He looked haggard as if he had not rested well.
“Miss Lin,” manager Li said respectfully. There were outsiders here, Jiang Zhennan and Liu Jiaying, so he didn’t refer to her as the owner.
Lin Yuelan nodded and looked at manager Li with concern. “Uncle Li, what’s wrong with you? You look so exhausted.”
Manager Li was inexplicably touched by his boss’s concern. He said, “my wife hasn’t been feeling well these two days, so I’m taking care of her.”
Lin Yuelan asked again, “Has Auntie’s condition worsened again?”
Even modern people couldn’t cure Alzheimer’s disease, much less ancient doctors. However, Lin Yuelan was an exception for she had a golden finger.
Lin Yuelan took the jar from Jiang Zhennan’s hand and handed it to manager Li. “Uncle Li, this is a jar of fruit wine. It’s for you. It is brewed with some special ingredients so it should help Auntie Li. But only give her one small cup a day.”
There was spring water in the wine, which could repair the nerves in manager Li’s wife’s brain.
When manager Li heard that Lin Yuelan wanted to give him something, he wanted to decline. However, when Lin Yuelan said that this wine could help his wife, he immediately took it excitedly and said gratefully, “thank you, miss Lin.” Then, he said to Lin Yuelan, “I’m sorry, please excuse me for a moment …” With that, he carried the wine jar and went into the house.
Lin Yuelan immediately called out to him and said, “Uncle Li, you can also drink a small cup every day. It can relieve your fatigue.” Although the jar wasn’t big, drinking one small cup at a day could last Manager Li and his wife for quite some time.
