The escape system takes me to dig for treasures
Chapter 401 Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet
"I know a little about what you're talking about. I've chatted with the shop owners around here before. The shop on the left is owned by the owner and doesn't need to pay rent. The business seems to be good, so the family has no intention of selling the shop. The shop on the right is rented by the owner and has only been open for one or two years."
Chen Dafu spoke very clearly. His mouth was a little dry after saying so much in one breath. He paused for a moment before continuing, "From what I see, the business of this store is okay, but we have to pay so much rent every year, and we don't make much money. From what you said, I'm thinking of closing it down."
"Okay, there's no rush. Uncle Chen, please keep an eye on it. If the owner of the shop on the right wants to sell it, we can buy it."
Jiang Xi gave Chen Dafu a tip-off.
Chen Dafu originally thought that this small shop would have to be run for at least five or six years, and only when it became profitable would the owner have a chance to expand the business.
Having said that, Jiang Xi just remembered that a plush doll branch store had opened in Hangzhou City, and it seemed that Chen Dafu was still unaware of it!
Jiang Xi took the opportunity to tell Chen Dafu about this.
This made Chen Dafu realize that his boss seemed to be quite wealthy.
The weather is getting cooler now in August and September compared to when we first set out from Yunzhou City. It is not as hot anymore.
The doll shop business is starting to pick up, and so is the hot pot restaurant business.
As it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the ladies of each family attended more banquets and had to change into new jewellery. The business of the Jinlou opposite was improving, so the doll shop also saw some growth as well.
Jiang Xi was looking after the shop in the store, and when he had nothing to do, he would pick up a charcoal pencil and start drawing.
She got the inspiration from the girls who came to the store to buy things. Almost every girl was wearing a sachet.
So Jiang Xi came up with the idea that if the plush doll could be made smaller and made into a pendant, it would look small and cute, soft to the touch, and various incenses could be placed inside.
It will surely be very popular!
Jiang Youli and the others had gone to class, and Zhao was alone at home with nothing to do, so she came to the store with Jiang Xi.
With nothing to do, Jiang Xi drew the doll. He reduced the size of the original doll and added some details.
Zhao didn't know if it would work, but since Jiang Xi said so, she would just take responsibility and do it.
Her needlework is not as good as Aunt Zhang's, but she has improved a lot under Aunt Zhang's guidance.
It will be too late to make this pendant in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
However, at the end of the year, all the major families in the capital city would always hold banquets of one kind or another, so there was no need to worry about not having an opportunity.
Mrs. Song originally wanted to invite Jiang Xi and Zhao to attend the banquet with her, but Jiang Xi declined.
She also knew that if she married Song Yunting, she would inevitably have to attend social events as a lady in the future, but she would rather not attend them now if possible.
Mrs. Song seemed to understand this and did not force it.
He just said, "Then when I come back from the event, I'll take you to a place."
The banquet that Mrs. Song was going to attend seemed to be quite important, because Jiang Xi had seen her dressed comfortably before, but this time she was dressed more formally.
Jiang Xi was at home, so he saw her off to the door, watched her leave, and then went back into the house.
Zhao is still studying the sewing technique of this pendant. She thought that since it was small, she could only make ten or eight a day, but she didn't expect it to become so difficult.
Jiang Xi didn't know how to sew, so she just went back to the room to supervise Zhao. If a certain detail was not what she wanted, Jiang Xi would stop her in time.
The mother and daughter were busy together, and Jiang Xi was also clumsily threading the needle, trying to give it a try.
I started chatting with Zhao, "Mom, today is Mid-Autumn Festival. I thought about it and decided to have a barbecue tonight!"
Zhao was still not as comfortable with the Song family as the father and daughter, and said with some concerns: "This is someone else's house, it's not appropriate to make decisions on your own!"
Jiang Xi took the opportunity to ask, "Mom, are you not used to living here? If not, we can rent a yard outside."
Although Zhao had never asked how much the rent of a courtyard in the capital city cost, after being in the capital city for so many days, he had some idea that the rent of a courtyard in the capital city was definitely not cheap.
So after hesitating for a while, Zhao smiled and said, "I'm used to it. How can I not be used to it? It doesn't matter where I live."
After hearing what Zhao said, Jiang Xi felt a little relieved.
The two continued the topic of barbecue, "Mrs. Song and the others have never tried it, you can give it a try, it's a good time to enjoy the moon tonight."
Just eating mooncakes, snacks, fruits and drinking tea is so bland!
Having said that, Jiang Xi stood up, placed the half-made pendant in his hand on the table, and ran to find Manager Song to ask him to help prepare the ingredients.
He then went to find the four bodyguards he had hired.
But when I went to their yard, I saw there were only three people.
Jiang Xi asked, "Where is Uncle Xie?"
The male escort replied, "He seems to have been out frequently these days for some reason." He thought that Jiang Xi had arranged a special task for Xie Kui!
The main reason was that Xie Kui was very familiar with Jiang Xi's family along the way, so he didn't ask too many questions.
Jiang Xi knew that there was something mysterious about Xie Kui, so he didn't ask him.
Ask the male escort to go out and help buy an iron rack.
Seeing that the male escort still didn't understand, Jiang Xi simply said, "I'll go with you!"
Jiang Xi found a blacksmith shop. Inside, there was the sound of iron hammering, and a wave of hot air was blowing in the air.
After hearing Jiang Xi's request, the blacksmith frowned immediately. "For something this complicated, you have to order it at least a few days in advance. We don't have enough staff here if you need it so suddenly!"
Then he waved his hand to refuse.
After hearing this, Jiang Xi did not give up. He looked around the store and took a look around.
The blacksmith's exit is to stop Jiang Li from going in. The problem with the boiler here cannot be underestimated.
Before he could even open his mouth, Jiang Xi stopped and pointed at the thin patch in the corner and asked, "Can you sell that patch to me?"
The patch was obviously scrapped and placed in the corner waiting to be recycled.
"Miss Jiang, don't you want an iron rack?"
The two returned with an irregular patch as big as a pot lid.
The accompanying male escort asked Jiang Xi in confusion.
The male escorts asked because they had been with Jiang Xi for two or three months and they were all familiar with each other. Otherwise, they would not ask their employer casually.
Jiang Xi explained: "I was originally planning to make a barbecue, but since the conditions don't allow it, let's make barbecue instead!"
Whether it's barbecue or grilling, it sounds the same to him. Is there any difference between the two?
