Seeing the excitement on the faces of Shi Lei and his wife, Song Jie couldn’t help but smile.
“I guess it shouldn’t be less than six hundred spiritual stones.”
Song Jie remembered that when he left the store at noon, his turnover had already exceeded 400 spiritual stones.
Even if the passenger flow will be less in the afternoon, there will still be two to three hundred spiritual stones.
After all, it is the first day of business, and with the blessing of the wave of momentum in the morning, business will definitely not be bad.
Shi Lei laughed, nodded and said, “Brother Song guessed it right, our store’s turnover today was a full 683 spirit stones.
“When your sister-in-law and I were counting the spiritual stones just now, we couldn’t believe that our shop could actually achieve so much turnover in one day.”
Song Jie also laughed loudly.
“This shows that most of the monks in Xinyuefang City trust us. The ability to achieve such results is also attributed to our daily reputation accumulation.”
Shi Lei nodded in agreement and said, “Brother Song is right.”
With that said, Shi Lei took out a bag containing spiritual stones from his arms and handed it to Song Jie.
“This is the spiritual stone earned from the pills sold today, totaling two hundred and sixty-six yuan. Brother Song, please count them.
“As for which pills were sold, Brother Song can check the account when he comes to the store tomorrow.”
Song Jie reached out to take the spirit stone, put it directly into his arms, and said with a smile: “No need to count, I can trust Brother Shi, hahaha…”
Before the Danqi Pavilion opened, the two of them discussed how to distribute the costs and benefits of opening the store.
Because the goods sold by the two people have no overlap, the distribution of costs and benefits is also very simple.
The initial store decoration, as well as the subsequent store rental, will require a larger area because Shi Lei needs to use it.
So the cost of this part is 40-60 cents for two people.
Song Jie was responsible for 40%, and Shi Lei was responsible for the remaining 20%.
As for the cost of refining the elixirs and spiritual weapons, the two of them are responsible for each, and the benefits obtained are also their own.
Later, if Song Jie hires an alchemy apprentice and Shi Lei hires a weapon-making apprentice.
This part of the employment cost, as well as the income generated, also belongs to everyone.
But currently, there is only one alchemist and weapon refiner in the Alchemy Pavilion, namely Song Jie and Shi Lei.
And Li Caiwei is responsible for looking after the store.
Originally, Song Jie planned to give a small portion of the proceeds from selling the pills to Li Caiwei as her commission.
But Li Caiwei was determined not to, and Shi Lei also agreed with Li Caiwei’s approach.
In the end, Song Jie couldn’t defeat them, so he could only accept the result gratefully.
Some things need to be distinguished more clearly, but some things do not need to be distinguished too clearly.
After collecting the spirit stones, Song Jie and Shi Lei continued to exchange a few words.
Starting from tomorrow, Shi Lei probably won’t go to the store unless he has something special to do.
Li Caiwei can be responsible for some things in the store, while Shi Lei specializes in refining weapons at home.
But Song Jie still needs to go to the store occasionally.
He is also considered a celebrity. There are many customers in this shop, but they actually go there because of Song Jie’s fame.
So it wouldn’t be good if Song Jie never showed his face.
On the other hand, even though he said he believed in Shi Lei and his wife, it was impossible not to check the store’s accounts at all.
Occasionally, I still have to check to see if there are any problems with the store’s accounts.
This is also the result of the three people’s discussion before opening the store, and the accounts must be checked regularly.
If there is a problem, it can be discovered and solved early.
……
“Brother Song, after you finish practicing your spells and movements, remember to come over and have a drink.
“We’re going to have a good celebration tonight.”
“Okay, I’ll be there in a moment.”
After saying goodbye, Shi Lei and his wife went back to their home and started preparing dinner.
Today is the opening day of Danqi Pavilion, so naturally I want to have some drinks to celebrate.
Song Jie also quickly completed tonight’s spell and movement exercises, and then went to the bathroom to take a quick shower to wash away the smell of sweat from his body.
Immediately afterwards, he put on a pair of clean clothes and brought a jar of good spiritual brew.
When he arrived at Shi Lei’s house next door, Shi Lei just brought the last plate of dishes to the table.
Immediately, the three people began to exchange cups and cups, celebrating the success of today’s new store opening.
Because Li Caiwei was pregnant, she still drank tea instead of wine as before.
After drinking for three rounds, Shi Lei suddenly said: “Our Alchemy Pavilion opened today, and Tianxiang Tower and the three major families specially sent congratulations.
“This is indeed beyond my expectation, brother. I didn’t expect Brother Song to be so proud.
“You haven’t told me this before…
“Now it seems that I really got a big advantage by being able to open a store in partnership with Brother Song.”
When Song Jie heard this, he smiled awkwardly.
“To be honest, I didn’t expect that Tianxianglou and the stores affiliated with the three major families would specially send congratulations to our store today.
“This is beyond my expectation, brother…”
Shi Lei looked at Song Jie as if he was lying. Obviously, what happened today was beyond everyone’s expectations.
“Everyone has their own secrets, and I won’t ask Brother Song what his relationship is with Tianxiang Tower and the three major families.
“But no matter what, if our store can run.
“Brother Song, your contribution is definitely the greatest, just for today.
“If it weren’t for your name, Brother Song, our Alchemy Pavilion wouldn’t be able to do so much business today.
“So, we husband and wife must give a toast to Brother Song.”
With that said, Shi Lei and his wife both raised their wine glasses with both hands and paid respect to Song Jie.
Seeing this, Song Jie quickly picked up the wine glass with both hands and said with some panic: “Brother Shi’s words are serious…
“Without the help of my brothers and sisters-in-law, I wouldn’t be able to open the store by myself.
“This is the result of the joint efforts of the three of us, so don’t say who is toasting this glass of wine, just toast the three of us together.”
“Hahaha… Brother Song said it well.”
Shi Lei is not a shy person either.
Now that Song Jie has said so, it would seem a bit hypocritical if he still insists on his statement.
Of course, Shi Lei and his wife must have kept Song Jie’s contribution to the Alchemy Pavilion in mind.
So, the three of them drank this drink together.
After putting down the wine glass, Shi Lei continued to speak: “The Alchemy Pavilion is now officially opened. I wonder what Brother Song’s next step is?”
He had somewhat noticed today that the elixirs refined by Song Jie were really easy to sell.
Judging from the current situation, there seems to be some signs that supply exceeds demand.
So he wanted to hear Song Jie’s follow-up plan. If the other party didn’t realize this, he would give a reminder.
Hearing this, Song Jie nodded and said, “I plan to recruit two alchemy apprentices and teach them some alchemy skills.
“They will be responsible for refining ordinary-grade elixirs from now on, while I will specialize in refining first-grade elixirs.
“In this way, we can enrich customers’ choices of elixirs when they enter the store.
“Secondly, it can also solve the supply problem of elixirs.”
Shi Lei nodded.
“I will probably recruit a weapon-making apprentice here by then, but I’m not in such a hurry yet.
“Next, I plan to slowly move my refining room to the back hall of the shop.
“Otherwise, when the child is born, this house will not be enough to live in.”
The house he currently rents has only one master room and one guest room.
The guest room was transformed into a weapon refining room by Shi Lei.
After their children are born, this house will indeed not be enough to live in.
Hearing this, Song Jie also echoed: “I also have an idea and plan to move to the back hall of the store to make alchemy.
“This will also make it easier for me to teach alchemy apprentices later…”
The store they rented also had a large back hall.
When deciding on the renovation plan, they considered the use of the back hall.
According to the decoration plan they decided on, the back hall was divided into five small alchemy rooms and three small weapon refining rooms.
There are also two rooms dedicated to storing goods.
For Song Jie, it is very simple to move to the back hall of the shop to practice alchemy. All he needs to do is move the Ziyun Copper Furnace there.
Some other alchemy auxiliary equipment are equipped in the alchemy room in the back hall.
Moreover, there are formation protection around the store, so it is safer to put things in the store than at home.
After all, it is a month’s rent for one hundred spirit stones, so these basic guarantees are still there.
Therefore, if Song Jie wants to move there, he can do so at any time.
But it is not that easy for Shi Lei to move the weapon refining room there.
Just dismantling the large furnace in his refining room would take a lot of effort.
It doesn’t mean that you can move it right away. You need to make some preparations.
“Then Brother Song, can you choose a good day? When will you move to the back hall of the shop to make alchemy?”
Shi Lei looked at Song Jie curiously.
Song Jie pondered for a moment and said: “I haven’t thought about it yet, so don’t worry for now. Let’s consider moving there after we find a suitable alchemy apprentice.”
What he really thought was that if he moved there immediately to make alchemy.
Then during the day, you have to be with Li Caiwei every day.
Although you behave upright and sit upright, it is best to avoid any suspicion.
So his plan was to move there himself after recruiting alchemy apprentices or after Shi Lei moved the weapon refining room there.
Of course, Song Jie just thought about this idea in his heart, and he definitely couldn’t say it out loud.
After that, the three of them chatted casually for a while, and then the dinner ended after all the dishes and wine were cleared away.
……
The next morning.
As usual, Song Jie started practicing spells and movements after finishing his training.
After practicing the spells and body movements, I started meditating again.
It wasn’t until his spiritual energy was replenished that he took the golden horn and a recruitment notice written last night and went out.
Familiar with the road, Song Jie arrived at the entrance of the Alchemy Pavilion.
At this time, Li Caiwei had already come to open the store.
Song Jie looked into the store and saw that Li Caiwei was receiving guests and introducing weapons to them.
He didn’t go over to disturb her. After nodding, he started looking around.
“Where should I post this recruitment notice?”
Song Jie looked around.
In the end, I decided to stick it on the door.
Although it is not very beautiful when attached to the door, it is very efficient.
Monks who want to find a job generally don’t go into the store to look.
So it’s better to stick it on the door. The worst is to wait until all the people are recruited and then tear down the recruitment notice.
After thinking clearly, Song Jie went to the store, rummaged through and found a box of paste, and posted the recruitment notice on the pillar at the door of the store.
In this way, monks coming and going can see the recruitment notice at a glance.
After taking another look at the recruitment notice, Song Jie nodded with satisfaction.

……
This recruitment information was written after he copied the recruitment information from companies before traveling through time.
Such unique recruitment information should be considered unique in this world of immortality.
After posting the recruitment notice, Song Jie walked into the store and placed all the elixirs refined yesterday afternoon on the counter.
By the way, I also counted how many pills were sold yesterday.
After a little calculation in his mind, he calculated the income from yesterday’s pills. Shi Lei indeed gave himself a lot.
As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must not have the intention to guard against others.
The brothers have to settle accounts openly…
Naturally, it was impossible for Song Jie to completely ignore how much spiritual stone income he actually deserved.
At this moment, a voice from behind interrupted Song Jie’s thoughts.
“Excuse me, do they sell Chongmai Pills here?”
Song Jie turned around and saw a woman in her early twenties standing at the door of the store, looking at him curiously.
“Yes, a low-quality Chongmai Pill, eight spiritual stones each.
“A low-grade Chongmai Pill, ten spiritual stones each.
“Which one do you want to buy, fellow Taoist?”
Just after opening yesterday morning, all the low-grade Chongmai Pills were bought by a proud middle-aged monk.
After Song Jie went back at noon yesterday, he quickly refined two more Chongmai Pills.
With the help of Golden Horn, I was very lucky, and both of them were of first-grade inferior quality.
This allowed the first-grade inferior Chongmai Dan in the counter to be replenished.
The woman didn’t think much and answered directly: “Please give me a low-grade Chongmai Pill.”
With that said, the woman took out ten spiritual stones and bought a low-grade first-grade Chongmai Pill from Song Jie.
After putting away the Chongmai Pill, the woman asked again: “Excuse me, is the recruitment notice for alchemy apprentices at the door still recruiting people?”
