Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

He was originally worried about how to achieve results and prove his ability.

He didn't expect that Sister Mengyue would bring him such a big surprise.

In fact, before he came to Wuning County, some elders in the clan questioned his ability, saying that he was not qualified to be the young master, but the family could support him unconditionally.

This made his father furious, as he knew that some elders in the clan were close to the second and third sons.

But his father couldn't stop it forcefully, because he knew that the elders also wanted to find an heir who could truly lead the family to go further for the development of the family.

The only effective method now is for him to demonstrate his strength and convince others.

Therefore, he issued a military order, guaranteeing that within one year, the Fumanlou in Anqing Prefecture would turn losses into profits.

You should know that there are seven counties in Qingshan Prefecture, and there is a Fumanlou in each county, but only Lanlong County can make a slight profit, Mengchuan County and Gugang County can maintain a balance between income and expenditure, and the Fumanlou in the remaining four counties are all losing money.

But the ancestor of the Qian family has set a rule that if the Qian family becomes powerful, a Fumanlou restaurant must be opened in every county of Da Zhou.

After several generations of hard work, the Qian family made a lot of money by running a restaurant.

In addition to running restaurants, the Qian family's business covers a wide range of areas, firmly sitting in the top spot among the four imperial merchants.

But no matter how much money you have, if you keep paying it out, you won’t be able to pay it back after a long time.

So an elder in the clan suggested closing down the unprofitable Fumanlou in Qingshan Prefecture. His father wanted the family to grow and prosper, but he also didn't want to go against the ancestral teachings.

When he was in trouble, he took the initiative to take over Fumanlou in Qingshan Prefecture and make it profitable within a year, otherwise he would resign as the young master and give it to someone with outstanding ability.

When he said this, not only did his parents get shocked, even the elders of the clan couldn't believe it. They asked him repeatedly several times and got the same answer every time, only then did they confirm that he was not lying.

The elders of the clan saw that he was the only legitimate son of the patriarch and, if it weren't for his health problems, he would have taken over part of the family business long ago.

They did not refute what he said because they also wanted to see whether they were capable of being the young master and whether they could lead the family to prosperity in the future.

In this way, he came to Wuning County with a mission.

He was originally worried about how to revive the Sijia Fumanlou, which had been losing money.

Now that we have tofu as our trump card, we no longer have to worry.

He believes that any Fu Man Lou restaurant can attract customers as long as it serves dishes made with tofu.

In other words, Qian Dongjie's proposal of a 50-50 split was also based on not losing money.

Because according to his investigation, something as inexpensive and good quality as tofu can be made into a dish and sold in restaurants, or tofu can be sold alone.

In this way, people who cannot afford tofu dishes in a restaurant can buy a piece of tofu and make it themselves at home. In this way, the restaurant will have an additional expense from selling tofu.

If he did this, some people in the clan might gossip about him, asking how a restaurant could sell only tofu.

Of course not. Tofu is also a vegetable and can be sold for money. Moreover, once it is produced, the quantity will not be small. Fumanlou in Qingshan Prefecture is also counting on tofu to make a comeback.

Li Mengyue didn't know how much help she would be to Qian Dongjie after writing down the tofu recipe and giving it to him.

She signed the contract, folded it, put it in her sleeve, and actually placed it in the space, then stood up and prepared to leave.

Qian Dongjie no longer worried about how Fumanlou could make a profit. He just had to hand it over to the housekeeper and find some servants who had signed death contracts, and then he could start making tofu.

I believe that it won’t be long before the whole of Qingshan Prefecture will know about tofu as a food, and even poor families will be able to buy a piece to try.

But when he was thinking about the profits of Fumanlou, he immediately panicked when he saw Li Mengyue was about to leave.

"Sister Mengyue, you have to leave."

"Well, put the soybeans here first."

"Sister Mengyue, we have reached an agreement on cooperation today. Why don't you stay and have a meal at Fu Man Lou?"

"No, I have something else to do here, so I'll leave first."

Qian Dongjie was about to say something but stopped himself and watched Li Mengyue leave.

Li Mengyue's figure could not be seen at all, and the disappointment on her face was visible to everyone.

Butler Qian naturally noticed it as well and felt a little sorry for his young master.

I finally met a girl I liked, but the possibility of us being together is extremely low.

Not to mention that Miss Li had no interest in her own young master. She had always treated him as an ordinary friend and had no intention of taking anything further.

For example, Miss Li came from a peasant family and had a low status. Even if the young master and Miss Li were in love with each other, it would be impossible for them to get married.

After all, his status as a young master is not as good as that of a prince, nor is it something a peasant girl can cling to.

Although he was grateful to Miss Li for saving his young master, he would respect Miss Li. As long as Miss Li gave him an order and he could do it, he would do it. However, he did not want his young master to put his feelings on Miss Li.

But judging by how the young master and Miss Li get along, I guess the young master is just unrequited love for her, and Miss Li doesn't have that kind of intention at all.

That's why he was worried. The young master had never had any contact with a girl since he was a child. It was normal for him to be moved when he suddenly met Miss Li, who was a skilled doctor, beautiful and capable.

"Master, Miss Li is gone. What should we do next?"

Qian Dongjie did not respond, his eyes still on Li Mengyue's corner.

"Master."

Still no response, butler Qian raised his voice and called out.

"Master!"

"what!"

Qian Dongjie came back to his senses and saw that it was the housekeeper who called him. He pretended to cover up and said, "Uncle Qian, I didn't look at Miss Li. I was just thinking about something. Yes, I was thinking about tofu."

Butler Qian watched the young master grow up, so he knew what he was thinking. He did not expose him, but instead said in cooperation, "Young master, when are we going to make tofu? I can't wait. I really want to eat fried tofu again."

"Sister Mengyue gave me the recipe for tofu. Let's prepare it now and try to deliver the tofu to Fumanlou as soon as possible."

"okay!"

As for Xie Yunzhou, although he did not buy any medicinal herbs when he arrived at Xinghua Village, he did gain something, as at least he met Li Mengyue again.

"Master, shall we go back to the inn?" Xie Ming asked.

"No need for now, let's take a walk first."

Xie Yunzhou said casually, turned around and saw Shopkeeper Wang following behind him. Only then did he realize that Shopkeeper Wang had been following him all the way from the capital, and he had not yet assigned any tasks to Shopkeeper Wang.

Before, he was so focused on finding his nephew that he had no time or energy to care about other people and things. Now that he has some free time, he can no longer let Manager Wang follow him.

After all, Manager Wang is old, and running around like this with Xie Ming must be exhausting every day.

"Wang Dong, you don't have to follow me from today."

When Shopkeeper Wang heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the boss didn't buy the herbs from Miss Li and felt that he was useless and wanted to kick him out?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had guessed the truth. His face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Pfft!"

Shopkeeper Wang knelt on the ground, crying and saying, "Boss, please don't chase me away. I am still useful."
