The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

After the farce ended that day, Aunt Wang came back and begged Uncle Wang to find trouble with Qi Siliao, but Uncle Wang persuaded her.

From then on, whenever Aunt Wang saw someone who was on good terms with Qi Siliao, she would hide away like a mouse seeing a cat.

Hu Luanfei felt happy and relaxed.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t been to the vegetable garden for a long time, so when I felt like doing that, I decided to go for a walk.

The saplings planted earlier grew very well due to the space spring water, and the vegetables were also very good.

There was a man busy in the garden, so busy that he didn't even notice Hu Luanfei arriving beside him. Only when he called him did he jump in surprise and almost cut his finger with the knife in his hand.

Hu Luanfei was embarrassed and asked awkwardly, "Why don't you bring two more people to help?"

As he said this, he helped him drive the sheep away.

Jiang Wu's face turned as dark as Bao Gong's when he saw that the vegetables he had worked so hard to harvest for most of the day had been eaten by Yang Miemie.

But Yang Miemie looked at Jiang Wu with a cute and polite expression, which made people's anger disappear by half. Jiang Wu explained: "Zuihualou has been very busy recently, and everyone is very busy. No one wants to travel to Taohua Village. I have no choice but to come here by myself."

Speaking of restaurants, Hu Luanfei suddenly remembered that he was going to buy Baihualou. "Where is that guy Qiu Xu? Does he come to Zuihualou often?"

"Oh, he's been looking for you, but you weren't here during that time. He looks very anxious, is there something wrong?"

"I want to buy Zuihua Building. We'll go talk about it tomorrow."

"There are also several restaurants on East Street and West Street. They used to be royal restaurants. When Beiqiu was in chaos, they were implicated because of their relationship with the royal family. Now they are being sold at low prices."

Hu Luanfei did not have much money, and he gave almost all of it to Qi Siriao to purchase materials for building the dam and pay the workers' wages.

It's hard to live in a tight situation.

She frowned, feeling the breath of poverty once again.

I can't go on like this. I have to save some money. Considering the baby in my belly, I can't spend all the money I got.

Jiang Wu calculated the dividends from Zuihualou, "Except for the monthly salary of the errand boys, I can only buy two restaurants at most. But I think those restaurants can still lower their prices."

Hu Luanfei felt that it was a bit unethical to lower the price at this critical juncture, but he didn't have enough money to fill the gap, so he had to give it a try against his conscience.

After the promotion of the food festival, Hu Luanfei became somewhat famous.

The people in East and West Streets basically all know Hu Luanfei. They know that she also runs a restaurant and makes steamed buns and is quite popular in Beiqiu.

Some common people, after tasting the delicious food of Zuihualou, often introduced it to their relatives, so that most people in the city rushed to patronize it.

Different people naturally have different opinions about Hu Luanfei's plan to buy a restaurant and open a branch.

Some conservative people think that Hu Luanfei is too greedy and ruthless, but the vast majority of people think that there is nothing wrong with what Hu Luanfei did. As a businessman, of course he wants to make more money. Why can't he open a branch?

Those common people who like to eat and drink on weekdays would naturally applaud. Knowing that the boss was Hu Luanfei, they had left them messages early on expressing their anticipation for him and suggested that he should open a few more restaurants to save them the trouble of going around half the city to get to Zuihualou for a meal.

Some people also say that Luo Meng is smart and bold. He has just started his business, but he dares to buy several restaurants in succession. It is really admirable.

On the way, listening to everyone's comments, Hu Luanfei just smiled awkwardly.

Jiang Wu thought of something, "Before, a school wanted to order steamed buns from Zuihualou, but the price they offered was too low. I thought it was too much trouble, so I'll just consider it for now. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"The profit margins of steamed buns are slim to begin with, and we even add goat milk to them. After deducting the labor and materials, how much money can we make?"

"In that case, I will reject them."

"Wait." If you don't do business, you're a fool. "Take it. Anyway, we have desserts after meals every day. It doesn't hurt to make more. It just so happens that we are short of money recently."

Jiang Wu readily agreed, "Okay, I'll let Yunji take over."

"Hmm?" So it's not her business, why should I ask her if she agrees?

After this incident, Hu Luanfei unexpectedly gained several big clients.

Two days after signing the contract with the school, several parents of students who were chefs in charge of meals in other schools came to Zuihualou to find Hu Luanfei. They came to discuss business.

What Hu Luanfei didn't expect was that it turned out that they came to steal the chef instead of cooperating with him. On the surface, they praised the taste of Zuihualou's food, but secretly their main mission was to poach Jiang Wu.

Of course Hu Luanfei disagreed. Jiang Wu was the leader of Zuihualou, so how could he bear to let him leave? However, Hu Luanfei was not a hard-talking person, so he simply asked them to come to Zuihualou and learn from Jiang Wu.

They refused and insisted that Jiang Wu go to the school to cook.

How can this work.

When the argument was at a standstill, Hu Luanfei thought of ordering takeout.

"Well, brothers, I have come up with a compromise. Do you think it will work?"

Hu Luanfei planned to have them place an order at Zuihualou, and after Zuihualou made the food, they would put it in large barrels and transport it to the canteen.

But those few people disagreed, saying it was unhygienic.

These people were cautious and resolute. They wanted to take advantage, but also considered hygiene issues.

Hu Luanfei simply asked them about the location of the school. When he found out that there were schools on East Street and West Street, he came up with an idea. He simply let the students go to the restaurant with their student ID cards to eat student meals after school.

Jiang Wu couldn't help but admire, "Your Majesty, this is a good idea."

Hu Luanfei was somewhat helpless. "As a businessman, who wants to push away customers? Besides, these few are obviously high-quality customers. There are students coming in and out of the school all the time, and we can earn a little bit. The key is that we must pay special attention to the problems mentioned by those customers, and we must not have any food safety problems."

"Of course. But my lady, eggs and cow and goat milk are in short supply recently."

"I know about this. I'll send a message to Xuanyuan Yuchuan later to see if there are any supplies at his ranch." Hu Luanfei was obviously well prepared.

"We have taken over several restaurants now, but we only have two assistant chefs and I. Zuihualou's business is booming, so we really can't spare anyone to help out there."

"It's not difficult. Just hire a few more cooks and errand boys and teach them the skills."

"Xuxu told me before that her brother wanted to find a job with us."

Hu Luanfei suddenly thought of the arrogant fat man in Yunji, "Doesn't her brother manage the Yunji Baozi Shop with her father?"

"No, that's not it. Xuxu has a cousin in her hometown. Recently, he came to the city to find a job in order to support his family. It just so happens that he knows a little about cooking."

"How is your character?"

"I've met him a few times. He's a simple and honest guy, not bad."

"Then please keep an eye on it for me. If you think he is capable, hire him in to learn from his experience. By the time the restaurant is open, I will be relieved that he can take charge on his own." This matter was handed over to Jiang Wu. Hu Luanfei was very busy at the moment and had to find time to describe the decoration styles of those restaurants.
