In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. What's more, Chen Dafu has been avoiding the sun as much as possible these days, or covering himself tightly, and he is indeed not that dark anymore.

It is still darker than the average person, but compared to the previous shiny black, it can only be said that it is not that dark now.

Half a month later, Jiang Xi's shop and Duan Yuanzhou's shop were finally renovated.

The two calculated the date and it turned out to be the same day.

Fortunately, the two events were separated by one hour.

Jiang Xi opened at the beginning of the Si hour, and Duan Yuanzhou's hot pot shop opened at the end of the Si hour.

After a burst of crackling firecrackers, the plush toy shop finally opened.

The newly renovated shop, although small, looked bright and beautiful at first glance. Jiang Xi's shop spent a high price to buy several strings of glass beads to hang at the door.

At first glance, it is indeed attractive.

I have never seen anyone willing to hang a string of glass beads on their doorstep.

It actually attracted two or three guests.

I just came out of the Golden Building.

All the stuffed dolls that Jiang Xi brought from Yunzhou City were put up.

I have tried my best to display them, and also collected some handicrafts, chains, beads, etc., and found a special stand to prop up these accessories.

But in front of those dolls, they looked more like decorations.

Three guests came in. One was a maid, who was obviously sent by the master to inquire about things. The other was a little girl, followed by a maid, who rushed into the shop in a hurry.

I thought the beads at the door were beautiful and sparkling, and I played with them for a while.

After I finished playing, I turned around and saw the things in the house.

The wall at the back was hollowed out, like a door or window, so two of the four sides were translucent, and the room was quite bright.

The dolls placed neatly on the shelf immediately attracted the children's attention.

"A Xiu, I want that, I want that!"

The girl immediately tugged at the corner of the maid Ah Xiu's clothes and shouted.

The maid had no choice but to look at Jiang Xi, who was standing aside as far as possible to make room for the customer, and asked, "How much is this rabbit?"

Jiang Li then introduced it.

The girl was about four or five years old. Jiang Xi took down a small doll and asked her to try to hold it. The girl immediately fell in love with it and couldn't let it go.

She urged the maid, "A Xiu, I want this, I want this, pay the bill quickly!"

"Hey! Miss!"

After the girl finished speaking, she quickly got out.

The maid had no choice but to quickly take out three taels of silver and hurriedly chase after him.

The maid at the door asked around and then left.

But not long after, the maid came in followed by a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old in pink clothes.

"This shop looks a bit shabby!"

The girl stood at the door and didn't go in. She glanced around and saw those dolls with a hint of interest in her eyes. Finally, she pointed at the largest doll and said, "Give me the largest rabbit!"

The large rabbit was placed at the top. Chen Dafu was taller, so he picked it up with his hand. Then he handed it to Jiang Xi, who then passed it to the girl in pink.

The girl did not take it directly. The maid understood and hurried forward to show the girl everything.

Then the girl nodded, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she asked for a few more bracelets and asked the maid to put them on the rabbit. Finally, she asked for three bracelets.

One maid stayed behind to settle the bill, while the other maid followed the pink-dressed girl away with her things.

Chen Dafu watched from the side and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this young lady from a rich family bought things worth several taels of silver just for entertainment.

Why do I know it was just for fun? The lady was obviously disgusted and thought it was dirty, but it was the first time I saw it, so I was a little curious, so I bought it.

After opening two business orders in succession, Jiang Li was quite satisfied.

After calculating the time, I have to go to Duan Yuanzhou's place.

So he told Chen Dafu about everything and left.

As soon as she left, Mrs. Song came looking for her.

Several carriages stopped in front of the Golden Building.

Led by Mrs. Song, about three or four ladies also got off the carriage.

Looking at the golden building in front of them, everyone was a little surprised that the Prime Minister's wife would suddenly come to this unknown jewelry shop.

Although it looks like a two-story building, this golden building is not very famous in the capital.

No one noticed that after Mrs. Song got off the carriage, she looked around and noticed Jiang Xi's small shop.

Among a row of shops with similar styles, the shop opposite is small but very eye-catching.

Mrs. Song didn't say anything, but one of the young ladies was attracted by her gaze. She paused for a moment, but was brought back to her senses by her mother who was traveling with her.

Madam Song said, "Let's go in and take a look!"

As she spoke, she took the lead and walked into the golden building.

Shopkeeper Zou was originally packing up and preparing to go to the hot pot restaurant to help Duan Yuanzhou look after some things, but he didn't expect so many noble ladies to suddenly come to the restaurant.

There was no other way, so Manager Zou had to send a waiter to tell Jiang Xi that he would be late.

Jiang Xi arrived at the hot pot restaurant, and there was still more than a quarter of an hour before it opened.

When I arrived, I quickly went to the kitchen to see how the preparations were going. The chef of this hot pot restaurant was finally found five days before the opening.

At this time, the kitchen staff were busy cutting meat, washing vegetables, and frying food, including fried glutinous rice cakes and crispy pork.

The smell is very fragrant.

Jiang Xi went in to take a look, then asked the waiter to bring out a basin from the kitchen.

Other things cannot be tasted by customers, but this fried food is very convenient.

Soon, when the time came, a burst of firecrackers was heard outside the door.

Everyone was busy inside and outside, while Jiang Xi was outside with two assistants to keep things going.

As soon as the firecrackers stopped blasting, he took two waiters outside and invited passers-by to try the food.

“This is the only hotpot restaurant in Beijing. Don’t miss it if you pass by!”

Two waiters were also shouting beside them.

It was just around dinner time, and the sounds of firecrackers and shouting attracted four or five tables of guests.

There was business, so Jiang Xi took a waiter and hurried in to greet the customers, while the other waiter continued to stand outside and shout while selling fried crispy pork and fried glutinous rice cakes.

The store quickly became busy. As soon as the customers placed their orders, the kitchen immediately prepared the soup base and side dishes.

These things are prepared early in the morning. The vegetables are washed first, and the meat is prepared half an hour before opening to ensure freshness.

A hot pot restaurant is different from a doll shop. Everyone eats there. This restaurant was open for the first day and there were many customers inside. People who saw it from outside came in continuously.

The hot pot restaurant suddenly became popular.

This was beyond Jiang Li's expectations.
