“Let’s play!”
"Then you can handle the packaging. I'll go on to make other sauces."
"Okay! Don't worry about it, leave it to me!"
……
Later that evening, the girls returned from shopping.
"Boss, we're back!"
"It smells so good! What delicious food are you making?"
"The fermented black bean chili sauce is a bit spicy. Would you like to try some?"
"need!"
Xiangling kindly brought everyone a plate of fermented black bean sauce with Yunnan peppercorns.
Then came the sounds of strange "hissing" and "glug-glug" as people drank water.
"Xiangling!!!"
"I warned you that it was a bit spicy, but you chose to eat it yourselves."
"Is this considered a little spicy?"
"Hey."
After the joke, Zhu Zi said with tears in her eyes, "Boss, I got my payment for the article, oh my..."
Xia Zhi nodded: "Congratulations! How much did you make?"
"More than 60,000 Mora!"
"For a new author, this much in the first month is quite impressive."
"Yes, I ran into my editor on the way, and she told me."
"Keep up the good work."
"Will do!"
Miss Akabane hissed beside her, her eyes filled with envy.
That evening, Ms. Ningguang came over for dinner and brought another piece of good news.
Ying'er's dividend from last month has already arrived in her account.
It's the lipstick collaboration we discussed before.
"According to the contract, it totals more than 1.5 million Mora, which has already been transferred to your Liyue Bank account."
"Take the young master?!"
"One million, five hundred and sixty-three thousand seven hundred and two."
"Why are there so many?"
"Because lipstick is very popular in the market, and it has low cost and high selling price, the profit margin is very large. However, production just started this month, and the output is not enough. Once the production capacity is increased next month, the sales volume of lipstick should double."
"!"
Everyone immediately looked at Ying'er.
"Rich woman, please take me in!"
"Harmful……"
Ying'er thought for a moment and looked at Xia Zhi.
"Actually, the lipstick was improved by the boss, so this money..."
Xia Zhi laughed and said, "Don't say that. I only helped with a small matter."
"No, boss, what I mean is, I also want to put this money into the school."
"School?"
"Because I don't lack money right now, and there's no use for it, I'd like to use it as a scholarship or something, just like Miss Gan Yu..."
"That's it."
"May I?"
"If you had this idea, it was welcome at the time, but you don't have to take it all. You should keep some for yourself, since spices are quite expensive."
"Ok!"
Ying'er looked very happy.
Ningguang looked at her best friend and said, "The hand cream that you and Qiqi developed together will be put into production this month, and there will be profits next month, but it probably won't be as much as the lipstick."
Ying'er waved her hand: "It's nothing, that was just homework given by the boss."
Miss Akabane looked on, her eyes filled with envy once again.
Zhu Zi gets royalties, Shen He gets rent, Qi Qi gets hand cream, Diona gets bartending, Ying'er gets lipstick, Xiang Ling gets newspapers, and as for Xia Ci and Xia Zhen, they're the boss's family, so they're not short of money...
Waaah, it seems like I'm the only one in the shop who doesn't have a side business right now...
Ugh, what a huge failure!
Even while taking a bath, Akabane still looked preoccupied.
Xia Ci felt something was off and came over to ask, "What's wrong?"
Akabane looked up at her and whispered, "I'm thinking about how to make money."
"Making money?"
"Ok!"
"It's not simple yet."
"What can you do?"
"Weren't you the head of the Hall of Rebirth before?"
"Yes."
"Then you must know where there are big tombs, right? Just find one, dig it up, and you'll make a fortune..."
The smile on Akabane's face vanished.
"Digging up graves is definitely out of the question. That goes against the rules of my Rebirth Hall. If Hu Tao finds out, she'll kill me."
"Once a person is dead, all those material possessions are useless..."
"No, let's try another way. I'm not trying to make a lot of money, I just want to have a side hustle like everyone else."
"I see. Although everyone has a side job, it's something they enjoy doing. What do you prefer?"
"Me? Does reading novels count?"
"Of course! You can write novels like Zhu Zi."
"I can't write light novels."
"Write traditional novels."
"I can't write it either. I've actually tried, but I feel like my writing is terrible. It doesn't have the same feel as the boss's writing at all."
"What my cousin wrote is... you definitely can't write it anymore, so why not write a new genre—tomb raiding novels?"
"what?"
"It's about a group of people going to rob tombs and encountering all sorts of ghosts and zombies... That's your area of expertise..."
"Would anyone like watching this type of show?"
"Yes! I guarantee a big fire!"
Akabane pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"No."
"Trust me, it really will become a hit."
“Then I definitely can’t write it. What if they read my book and all go off to rob tombs? Hu Tao would definitely curse me to death.”
"...Are you that afraid of walnuts?"
"She's the current head of the hall."
"Then you can only write ghost stories. Anyway, you've been a ghost yourself, so it'll be easy to write about. You can ask Charlotte later if the newspaper is planning to start a new column and provide them with some articles."
"Makes sense!"
Miss Akabane looked very enthusiastic.
"Thanks for the suggestion!"
"You're welcome."
Xia Ci returned to Xia Zhen's side to take a bath.
Everyone got out of the pool one by one and went to the back hall to get a massage from Xia Zhi.
