The brochure for Chapter 10 has been released

At this moment, Xue Poya was on the second floor, having specially set aside a private room as his office. Hearing a sound, he looked down through the window and saw four magnificent horses galloping down the road, three men and one woman. The horses were like divine dragons, and the people resembled phoenixes, heading towards the tavern.

The Great Chu Kingdom did not traditionally use Arabic numerals. When Yue Zhu first encountered them, she was quite astonished. However, under the influence of Xue Poye, she gradually accepted and became familiar with them

Yue Zhu was arranging the tables and chairs when he heard the question. He replied, "Are those the Arabic numerals? Don't worry, I've memorized them all: one times one equals one, one times two equals two, two times two equals four, three times three equals nine...!" He surprisingly recited the multiplication table with great proficiency.

Xue Poyue nodded slightly and said: "Exactly, it can only be more, not less. I roughly estimated that to print three thousand copies, it would require over ten taels of silver. You should give the printing house twenty taels, so they can expedite the work and get it done for us in the next couple of days"

Old Song exclaimed, "Shopkeeper, this... this type of paper needs to be printed in three thousand copies?"

Yue Zhu, along with the children, Madam Song, and Luo Dachun, meticulously cleaned the tables, chairs, doors, and windows of the restaurant. The establishment had not been opened for some time, and a light layer of dust had settled on the furniture.

Xue Poya had already come down the stairs and said lightly: "Having money is of no use; my sister has said that we are not open for business yet, and we will have to wait a few more days to eat." His gaze involuntarily glanced at the girl in the green dress, noticing her delicate and charming appearance, her eyes like autumn waters, stunningly beautiful and unlike anything found in books.

The young girl looked at Xue Poyue, giggled, pouted her lips, and appeared charmingly cute

At the bottom of the beautiful woman's feet, it is suddenly inscribed: "Special Dishes: Beauty Emerging from the Bath, Paired Wings Flying Together, Moonlit Spring Scenery!" The allure is overwhelming

Xue Poya chuckled as he touched his nose, saying: "Advertising, this is the money that should be spent. Spending twenty taels, we can make two hundred taels, two thousand taels, or even twenty thousand taels. Hurry up and arrange it!" After saying this, he took out a twenty-tael banknote and handed it to Old Song. Although Old Song was completely baffled, he still reluctantly accepted the order.

Otherwise, what? Xue Poyue was unafraid, cursing under his breath, having seen many little rascals before; he had never been afraid. His tone was filled with disdain: "Are you planning to smash my shop?"

The spring breeze rippled in, blowing through the window and gently caressing Xue Poyue's body, making him feel completely at ease and immensely comfortable

"Yue Zhu, have you memorized the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division that Brother Po Ye taught you?" After settling down, Xue Po Ye suddenly asked.

Old Song was sweating on his forehead: "Are you really going to spend twenty taels of silver to print this? Shopkeeper, you...!" It was quite unbelievable

Xue Poya nodded in satisfaction and said, "This is good. From now on, I will trouble you, Brother Poya. The accounts of the tavern will be your responsibility. You do not need to sit at the counter; just prepare a report of the daily expenditures and income, and hand it to me. Using Arabic numerals for calculations is greatly useful with hetushucom.com!"

Is the kind of life in the slums, where even basic needs cannot be guaranteed, really coming to an end

While contemplating what else to do, I suddenly heard the sound of hooves on the main road in front of the door, accompanied by the cries of many, suggesting that there were quite a few visitors arriving

Xue Poyue nodded and said, "Of course, there is no one more suitable than you." Although he had not known that he would take over the tavern today, after crossing over, during his leisure time, Xue Poyue taught Yue Zhu and the children to memorize the multiplication tables. The children were indifferent, but Yue Zhu took it very seriously; not only did she memorize the multiplication tables, but under Xue Poyue's instruction, she also roughly learned addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

A man in a black scarf shouted, "Kid, you certainly speak arrogantly. My brothers and I are going to eat here today, so hurry up and bring some food and drinks, otherwise, heh heh..."

Xue Poya clapped his hands and laughed, saying, "Then it's settled. Today, I need you to do me a favor: take this booklet to the printing house and have three thousand copies made. Bring them back; I have use for them."

Yue Zhu exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Po Ye, you want me to help you with the accounts?"

In the blink of an eye, four fine steeds had arrived in front of the tavern. The four individuals reined in their horses and dismounted.

The middle-aged man seemed to be quite fond of the girl in the green dress, saying to Xue Poyue: "Shopkeeper, we are truly starving, please take the trouble to prepare some food for us, much appreciated!" His expression was stiff, and he did not smile at all.

Yue Zhu was somewhat dazed, while the children were exceedingly excited, darting into the restaurant like a few rabbits, jumping up and down, filled with joy

Following closely behind was a slender young girl, dressed in a green dress, with delicate skin, and she appeared to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. However, Xue Poyue observed her with some confusion, as the girl seemed remarkably familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before, yet when he tried to think back, he found no clues.

Xue Poya looked at her brilliant smile and couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, secretly thinking: "What a charming young lady!"

At the bottom is a line of small text, which indicates the address of the restaurant, and it also includes the Hongyan Pagoda.

Xue Poyue laughed and said, "Old Song, what do you think of this? If it were you, would you go to the tavern to take a look?" Song Qian fell silent for a moment, feeling somewhat awkward, and after a while said, "Shopkeeper, to speak honestly, I... I really do want to see the whole picture after looking at this illustration."

Xue Poyue pondered for a moment, then called over Xiao Pinshi, instructing him to create several plaques. The main plaque was to be inscribed with "Lan Yue Xuan," and a pair of long couplets was to be crafted, engraved with "Gathering the talents of the East and West, showcasing the literary works of the South and North."

Xue Poya found himself somewhat admiring this woman; having just sold the tavern, she maintained a calm demeanor, neither arrogant nor anxious, and was even willing to endure the inconvenience of tidying up the house, so he took the time to comfort her properly

At the top center of the paper, the words "Lan Yue Xuan" are inscribed, with couplets on either side. The left couplet reads, "Gathering the talents of the East and West, presenting the literature of the South and North!" In the middle of the paper, there is an extremely enchanting beauty depicted, alluring and seductive, with the words "My lord, I am waiting for you, hurry!" written beside her mouth. These somewhat lascivious words made Lao Song's heart race.

To some extent, Yue Zhu was the first person from the Great Chu to come into contact with Arabic numerals, while Xue Po Ye can only be considered an outsider

Xue Poya could not help but admire that Yue Zhu was naturally gifted in mathematics

On the morning of the second day, Xue Poyue called for Song Qian and handed him a piece of paper, which surprisingly had both words and drawings on it

At the front is a middle-aged man with a short beard, around thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and large eyes. He is dressed in a blue shirt and has a green ribbon tied around his head

Song Qian immediately instructed her maid and Luo Dachun to tidy up the back courtyard, while she herself went out to seek a cook

The young girl dismounted and looked up, just as she locked eyes with Xue Poyue. She smiled sweetly, and the sunlight was radiant.

Old Song was dumbfounded; the design of the paper was indeed quite beautiful, yet the content was rather lewd

Before the middle-aged man could speak, the girl in the green dress had already sweetly exclaimed, "Second Senior Brother, I am hungry, I want to eat something!" Her voice was exceptionally delicate, clear, and pleasant to hear.

The middle-aged man let out an "oh" and said, "I can't manage whether the business is open or not. Hurry up and prepare some food for us; we need to fill our stomachs to continue our journey, and we can't do without your money."

The short-bearded middle-aged man dismounted and immediately shouted, "Shopkeeper, prepare us some meals similar to those in the books, the sooner the better, as we are in a hurry to continue our journey!"

Song Qian's wife is indeed a diligent person, having tidied up several rooms neatly. She is also exceedingly respectful when meeting Xue Poye and others

Xue Poya was also quite worried in his heart. Although he had impressively taken over the tavern and extended the deadline for external debts by three months, the future of the tavern remained uncertain

After dinner, everyone was quite tired and went to rest early

Xiao Pingshi arrived at dusk with Yue Zhu and the children. At first, Yue Zhu could hardly believe that they had truly taken over the restaurant. However, once they disembarked from the carriage and beheld the magnificent restaurant standing before them, with Xue Poyue smiling in welcome at the entrance, she became utterly convinced and was filled with immense excitement

However, having only incurred a debt of twenty taels to acquire the restaurant, it can be considered a remarkable tale. With this platform, one must make the most of it, allowing this restaurant to become a tool for the second rise in life.

Song Qian returned only when night fell, and everyone gathered around a table for dinner. Fortunately, Song Qian did not make the trip in vain; this time, she successfully persuaded the chef from Shu. Additionally, she also invited two assistants and a pastry chef as well as a fruit specialist, and the wages were not high. Song Qian handled this matter quite well.

Yue Zhu and the others were momentarily taken aback, but Yue Zhu quickly smiled and said: "I am truly sorry, the restaurant has not yet opened. Please come back in a few days."

Currently, Xue Poyue and Xiao Pinshi are together packing things into the backyard

The other two guests appeared remarkably similar, of similar height, dressed in blue robes and black scarves, seemingly two brothers
