The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business

Su Anton came back early today. It was not yet dark and he had not had dinner yet.

Zhou Huilan told Su Antong in detail about her plan and her trip to the dental clinic today.

After hearing this, Su An Dong said, "Don't worry about buying a shop. There should be a suitable shop in a while."

Zhou Huilan asked, "How long will it take? It's better to open a shop sooner rather than later. After you get the shop, you still have to decorate it! You can't wait too long."

Su An Dong said: "It shouldn't take more than half a month. If it's fast, it will only take a few days."

Zhou Huilan smiled and asked, "Why? Tell me."

Su An Dong never hid anything from Zhou Huilan, unless he was afraid that she would worry. Besides, he knew how tight-lipped his wife was.

Su An Dong said in a sly voice: "This is inside information, wife, you should thank me."

Zhou Huilan raised her eyes and glanced at Su An Dong, and said lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, just speak quickly."

Su An Dong touched his nose and said tactfully: "The prefect of Nanling Prefecture will change, and there will be other officials in the government office. It will happen in the next few days. Think about it! The prefect has left, so you have to sell the shop appropriately!"

Zhou Huilan said bluntly: "It is not necessary to sell the shop just because they are transferred! I am afraid that these officials who are going to be transferred are afraid that there will be a war in Nanling Prefecture in the future, and the market for the shop will be bad! They want to sell the shop quickly before the war breaks out."

Su An Dong smiled and said, "Madam is smart."

Zhou Huilan said happily, "Although there is no war now, people who are well-informed will have received some news. Will the price of this shop be able to drop a little?"

Su An Dong said: "It should be able to drop a little. After all, there are so many stores selling at once in the market, the price will drop a little. But it won't be too low. After all, the war hasn't started yet!"

Zhou Huilan nodded in agreement and said, "I was originally thinking that if it doesn't work out, I'll just rent it. Now if there's anything suitable, I'll just buy them all!"

Su An Dong smiled and said, "Madam has such confidence in me that she thinks we will definitely win this battle."

Zhou Huilan said, "I don't have confidence in you, I have confidence in this court. The fact that the emperor can use you shows that he has good vision. If he uses people like you, how can he lose this battle? Besides, the two sides have been confronting each other for so many years, and the King of Zhennan is not very capable, and he has not made much noise. The worst consequence is that it will be difficult to recover, or even impossible to recover. But it is impossible for Nanling Mansion to fall into the hands of the enemy! What are you afraid of! To put it another way, if you are really so incompetent and let Nanling Mansion fall into the hands of others, then I can only blame myself for my bad luck. Since you want to open a shop, you still have to take this risk."

Su An Dong was very happy to hear Zhou Huilan's previous words. After all, his wife was indirectly praising him! But he became less and less confident as she continued to talk.

Su An Dong couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Zhou Huilan and said, "Don't worry. I will definitely not let your money go to waste."

Zhou Huilan smiled with satisfaction.

In the evening, everyone gathered together to have dinner.

The women from each family helped to cook the meal, otherwise it would not have been enough for so many people.

Everyone wanted to give food or food expenses to Old Lady Su, but she refused.

Mrs. Su said, "Let's eat like this for the next few days. The Su family still has this little bit of money. Once Anton and Huilan decide what jobs you will do, we can talk about food expenses."

Everyone remembered this sentiment and said nothing more.

After dinner, Zhou Lizheng found Su Anton and told him that everyone was going to move out.

Su An Dong naturally had no objection. He personally thought it would be better to live separately. It was indeed not very convenient to live together. But he wanted to let Zhou Lizheng's family and the Zhao family stay.

Su An Dong thought for a while and said, "Dad, you and your family should stay here! I also want to keep the three generations of the Zhao family. Don't worry, this house can accommodate us."

Su An Dong wanted to keep the Zhao family's grandparents and grandchildren, and wanted Zhao Huaixi to train a few more military doctors with the military doctors in the army, mainly to deal with trauma. While Zhao Huaixi was helping, he could also learn medical skills from the old military doctors and accumulate experience. Su An Dong felt that Zhao Huaixi would not refuse.

Zhou Lizheng refused, "Let's move out! This way it will be more convenient for everyone. Don't persuade me anymore. The Zhou family can't rely on you for everything. This will spoil them. Don't let them come to you for everything. You have to let them know that people have to rely on themselves. Don't let them rely on you too much."

Su An Dong thought it made sense, and said, "Dad, how about this? Let Jiazhi, Jiaxin and the other three children stay at my house, and the others move out. The children who stay at my house can also keep Zhicheng, Zhihao and the others company. The children are all together, and they can encourage each other in their studies. And I can give them some pointers when I have time. My house is also relatively quiet, which is suitable for children to study. What do you think?"

Zhou Lizheng agreed as soon as he heard it. He was the one who cared the most about his children's studies. Although he knew that this was taking advantage of the Su family again, he really couldn't say no.

After Zhou Lizheng returned, he told everyone the results of his discussion with Su Antong.

Everyone was very happy after hearing this, especially the families of the three children who were studying. It was reasonable to keep the grandson of the Zhou family, and no one could find fault with it. But keeping the other three children was a surprise to them, and they were very grateful in their hearts.

Now that Su Andong has set an example, this group of people attach great importance to studying, and the number of children studying is increasing little by little. However, this time when they came to Nanling Prefecture, they did not bring young children with them. The younger ones stayed in Daxi Village. The three children who studied were all over twelve years old.

After the matter was settled, Zhou Huilan went to the brokerage firm with Zhou Lizheng the next day and told them about renting a house. They told the broker that there was no rush and that they could go to Su's house to let them know when there was a suitable one.

Although the shop has not been purchased yet, the necessary preparations still need to be made.

Su Yuanyuan drew a simple distillation vessel and went to a blacksmith shop and a porcelain shop respectively, explaining her requirements in detail. The porcelain shop replied that they could not guarantee that it could be made.

Su Yuanyuan thought, she would wait until the finished product is done and look at it, then improve on any flaws and then make a few more.

Su Yuanyuan temporarily set up a separate courtyard in the Su residence to distill alcohol and make floral water and facial cream. Anyway, after everyone moved out, the place was spacious enough and it would be safe to keep it at home.

The Su family's house had a cellar, and Su Yuanyuan asked Old Lady Su for a cellar, and set about decorating it. Su Yuanyuan separated the cellar into an inner and outer room, and strengthened the sealing of the entire cellar, and the entrance and exit were also covered with a door curtain made of a thick quilt to ensure sealing.

Su Yuanyuan wanted to use the inner room to freeze things and the outer room to chill things.

There were ready-made shelves inside and outside the room, as well as the water tanks bought by Su Yuanyuan.

After all these arrangements were made, Old Lady Su and Su Yuanyuan began to secretly put ice in the cellar. Old Lady Su helped Su Yuanyuan watch over the people while Su Yuanyuan quietly put ice and snow in the cellar.

At the beginning, the temperature was not low enough, and the ice and snow would definitely melt. It would be better if the temperature dropped little by little. Su Yuanyuan first put snow in the water tank to lower the temperature of the cellar. In this way, the melted snow water in the water tank would be easier to collect.

Su Yuanyuan thought, there was plenty of snow in her space anyway, and snow couldn't be eaten, so she might as well use the snow to cool down the cellar.

Old Madam Su had clearly warned everyone in the Su residence not to approach the cellar. The entrance to the cellar was also double-locked, and only Su Yuanyuan and Old Madam Su had the key.

As for how to explain this matter when they take out the frozen things in the future, Mrs. Su and Su Yuanyuan are not worried at all. Because Su An Dong must know how to make ice with saltpeter, and there is a source. If others ask, they can say that it was Su An Dong who told them the method of making ice, but the method must be kept secret. With this, others will not ask further questions.
