Today, the Huicui House was as lively as a festival. In order to welcome Ouyang Yunyao's return, several more dishes were added to the lunch. Ouyang Yunyao had her meal here with everyone.

After lunch, everyone went about their business.

Ouyang Yunyao came to the front hall with six personal maids. They made tea and sat around Ouyang Yunyao, reporting to her what had happened in the past few days.

Ouyang Yunyao was very pleased that the maids around her had grown up. Not only were they capable, but they also worked well together and managed the house in an orderly manner.

"You all did a great job! Mei'er, Xia Yan, Xiao Lu, you guys worked the hardest, each of you will get an extra two taels of silver per month."

"Princess, we already have a lot of monthly salary." They were very happy to receive the princess' praise.

"Follow me, your monthly salary will increase. I will increase it if I say so. Xiaolu will make up for it this month. You can save it for when you get married."

"Princess, we will always stay by your side!"

"I don't want you to stay here. I will find a good place for you all."

Ouyang Yunyao made the maids blush.

"You guys should be prepared. We will be very busy during this period. I plan to open the hot pot restaurant on June 18th."

"The princess is so nice." Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu clapped their hands excitedly, and the others also showed excited expressions.

"Princess, the store will open the day after tomorrow? Time is tight. Princess, you just came back. Don't you need to rest for a few days?" Xia Yan said considerately.

"It's okay. I went around the store today and you guys have almost finished it. We're going to open in these few days. The beginning of next month is the Queen Mother's birthday. Envoys and princes from various countries will be here, and they will definitely bring a lot of followers. Kyoto will definitely be quite lively by then. Others probably haven't seen this way of eating hot pot, so we can take advantage of this opportunity to make some money." Although Ouyang Yunyao had more money in her space than she could spend, she had no excuse to take it out, so she might as well take it out while the store was opening.

"That's great, Princess. We should be able to make a lot of money this time." Mei'er thought of the princess's Huicuiyuan, which supported so many people. They had to make money quickly and couldn't keep using the princess's dowry.

"Don't worry, this hot pot restaurant will definitely make money. Tomorrow, Xiaolu and Yan'er will go find two chefs with good personalities, and the others will go with me to decorate the restaurant. I wonder if Wei Lei has finished the signboard I asked him to make for the hot pot restaurant?"

Wei Lei, who was standing outside the door, heard the princess mention him and hurried forward and said, "Princess, the plaque is ready and has been placed on the third floor of the hot pot restaurant."

"Okay, why are you standing outside, come in!"

"Yes, princess."

"You are all here, and I just happened to arrange all the tasks for Fengyun Pavilion."

"Yes, Princess." "Okay, Princess."...

"The hot pot restaurant is under the full responsibility of Xia Yan. She is also the captain of our Fengyun Pavilion's first team and is responsible for the source of intelligence." Ouyang Yunyao knew that among these people, Xia Yan was the most reliable and capable, and she was also familiar with the people and things in Kyoto.

"Princess, I'm... afraid... I can't do it well."

"I'm confident in you! You can do it! It doesn't matter if you can't do well at the beginning, just take your time. You should focus on gathering intelligence. I'll ask my second brother to hire a shopkeeper tomorrow to run the hot pot restaurant."

"Yes, I will do my best and live up to the princess's trust."

"Captain of the second team, Wei Lei, you are in charge of the secret guards and the imperial guards. You can divide them into two teams. Qiao Daxia, Wang Sankui, Gao Qinyang, and Hu Xuefeng are all under your management. You are also responsible for the contact with Yinyu Tower."

"Yes, Princess, I will take care of it."

"Mei'er will be in charge of the third team. She will be responsible for managing the Huicui House and training the Red Team. Your task is not an easy one either."

"Yes, Princess, I will do my best."

"Xiao Lu is in charge of the accounts of the entire Fengyun Pavilion and is the captain of the fourth team."

"Princess, I am in charge of the accounts, but I cannot... cannot be the captain."

"Not only do you have to be the boss, but you have to do it well. If you have any questions, come and ask me. I will assign Hu Yifan to you first and let him handle the accounts of the hot pot restaurant. We will open other shops in the future, and you will be in charge of them all."

"Yes, Princess, I will do it well."

"Well, that's fine, but don't call me a slave anymore, okay?"

"Yes," Xiaolu blushed and stuck out her tongue.

"Xiao Cui, Fei Er, and Xing Er are following me now, and I have plans for the future."

"Yes, Princess," the three said together.

"Okay, that's all for today. Yan'er, are the staff uniforms for the hot pot restaurant that I designed ready?"

"Princess, it's all done. Two sets each."

"Ah, very good!"

"Bring those maids, servants, and Tao Er's family to the store tomorrow and let them do some actual training in the store."

"Okay, Princess."

……

When the people in Huicui House heard that the hot pot restaurant that had been planned for a long time was finally going to open, they were very excited and looked forward to working there.

Starting from today, Ouyang Yunyao will have to be busy for a while again.

Ouyang Yunyao walked out of the gate of Huicui Mansion and saw two carriages parked at the door. She didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was arranged by the housekeeper.

The coachman saw Ouyang Yunyao and hurried forward. "Princess." Ouyang Yunyao heard the voice and looked up to see that the coachman was Chu Feng. "Chu Feng, why is it you?"

"Princess, the prince is in the car."

"Well, Chu Chenjing is in the car?" Ouyang Yunyao had never thought that Chu Chenjing would come to pick him up. Since she agreed to be with him, how come he has become a different person? He has returned to Kyoto, but why is he still clinging to her? Doesn't he have anything to do? But he was still happy that someone was waiting for him.

……

The whole of Kyoto was in turmoil, but this had no effect on Ouyang Yunyao. In a blink of an eye, it was the opening day of Ouyang Yunyao's hot pot restaurant, June 18th.

That day, Ouyang Yunyao got up early, had breakfast, and dressed up. She also applied some foundation and put on a light lipstick. She felt very happy because this was the first time she did business in two lives, and it was for her Fengyun Pavilion.

She left the palace with three maids and Wei Lei. When they arrived at the shops on West Street, Xia Yan was already busy in the hot pot restaurant with a group of people, and the tables and chairs were neatly arranged.

Seeing Ouyang Yunyao coming, everyone in the store, who were all wearing the same uniform, said in unison, "Greetings, Princess."

These people were bought back before and have been receiving training in Huicui House in recent days. Now they all know some basic rules and etiquette.

Seeing this, Ouyang Yunyao clapped her hands and smiled, "Very good, it's in good shape. Today is the first day of opening, don't be nervous, just do what you did in the past two days."

"Yes, princess."
