Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Zhao Ganwei was shocked. He had also heard of Lao Jiang's daughter. She had been spoiled since she was young. Apart from her two older brothers, she was the only daughter in the family. Wouldn't she be spoiled?

But even if she is spoiled, she shouldn't do such a thing as interfering in other people's marriages, right? How immoral!

"You really can't judge a book by its cover!" everyone sighed.

When Village Chief Jiang came to Xinghua Village again to ask Zhao Ganwei for next year's water melon seeds, he found that there was something wrong with the way Zhao looked at him.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Who are you showing that expression to?" Village Chief Jiang said unhappily.

"Ah, nothing." Zhao Ganwei just shook his head and said nothing, but his eyes were still weird.

In the end, unable to bear his weird look, Village Chief Jiang just walked away, without even having time to ask for the watermelon seeds.

...

On the day when Kang Kang was one month old, Cuicui came back from town. Except for coming back to take a look when Kang Kang was born the next day, she went back to town without stopping to set up a stall selling egg cakes.

There was no other girl in the village like her, who was working hard to set up a stall in the town and make money by herself. The villagers all thought she was doing some small business.

Until this full moon party.

Zhong Ruyi helped put the eggs and brown sugar sent by the guests into the house. At this time, Cuicui came over mysteriously, "Aunt."

"What's the matter?" She turned around and saw Cuicui had closed the door, and it was obvious that she had something to say to her.

She dragged two stools for the two of them to sit down. Cui Cui was a little embarrassed, but still said, "Aunt, I want to rent a store in town to sell egg cakes."

Zhong Ruyi looked at her in surprise, "Cuicui, has your business grown so big?"

Cuicui nodded, with a bit of pride in her expression, "Aunt, don't underestimate me! Now many people in town come to me to buy egg cakes. I often take wedding cakes for wedding banquets, that is, dye the egg cakes red. Sometimes if there are many, I have to make several in one day."

"That's great. Have you told your parents?"

Cuicui's straight shoulders suddenly slumped down, with a look of worry on her face. "I'm just worried that my parents won't agree, so I want you to help me convince them."

Zhong Ruyi shook her head and looked at her seriously, "They will agree. If your parents saw how successful you are and that you can open your own shop, they would be so happy!" No parent doesn't want their children to live a good life. The same goes for the eldest brother and his wife. No matter whether it is Cuicui, Shitou, Tiedan or any other children in the family, what they want to see most is that their children live a good life.

"Okay!" Cuicui said firmly, "Then I'll go talk to my parents later!"

She was right. When Li Guihua and his wife first heard that their daughter wanted to open her own small shop in the town, they were a little worried. But when they heard that their daughter had already looked at several stores and was now coming back to discuss it with them.

Facing their daughter's expectant eyes, Li Guihua and Zhong Laoda looked at each other and agreed, "If you have any problems, go find your uncle and aunt, okay? Don't force yourself!"

Li Guihua reminded him, but think about it, there are often police officers patrolling the streets, even if there are hooligans who want to cause trouble, they dare not do it under the police's noses.

Boss Zhong was still worried, "How can you do it alone? Can you handle it? Should you hire someone?"

"Yes!" Cuicui nodded. "Dad, Mom, I want to ask Xiaozhu and Xiaohua to help me. Do you think it's okay?"

Li Guihua hesitated and said, "They can, and they work hard in the fields. But Cuicui, you are doing business and you can't be like in the village. If someone does something wrong and just gives in to you, you can't let it go. This is not good for your business, and it will also affect your relationship. You have to think it over carefully."

Cuicui also thought of what her parents said, "I will make it clear to them. If they don't do the job well, I won't hire them. Just like my aunt's workshop, I will give them a three-day trial period. If it doesn't work out, I will find someone else."

Finally, Cuicui came to find Zhong Ruyi and said that her parents agreed to this matter. When she learned that Cuicui wanted to find two close friends in the village to go together, Zhong Ruyi said almost the same thing as her parents said, and she understood all these principles.

"Since your parents have already told you, I won't say any more nonsense. If they really can't do it, just come to me and I'll let Xiaoyun go over to help you."

After all, the convenience store business can be handled by one person. At first, she thought about giving the convenience store to Cuicui to open a store selling egg cakes, but Cuicui was unwilling. Firstly, if the store was given to her, it would have to be redecorated and many places would need to be changed. Secondly, she was embarrassed to take over her aunt's store to do business.

"Then I'll go find Xiaozhu and Xiaohua and tell them now!" Cuicui ran out excitedly.

The three little girls talked for a long time, and finally they mustered up the courage to tell their families.

Xiaozhu's parents didn't have any objection. When they heard that they were going to the town to sell egg cakes with the Zhong family's children, they readily agreed.

Cuicui looked at Xiaohua. Xiaohua bit her lip and shook her head, saying somewhat disappointedly, "My parents don't agree. They want to plant 15 acres of watermelons next year. They asked me to help at home."

"It's okay, it's okay." Cuicui and Xiaozhu quickly comforted her and said some funny words to cheer her up.

It was decided that Cuicui would open a shop.

They were going to the town to look at a store that day, and Zhong's father and mother also went with them. They had smiles on their faces that could not be ignored. They walked past a row of old men and women who were sitting under a tree in the village to enjoy the cool air. They looked so proud.

Led by Renyazi, the group visited three places, all of which were located in the best locations on Funing Street and Fu'an Street.

After reading it, everyone was a little undecided, and in the end it was Zhong Ruyi who made the final decision:

"Let's go to Funing Street! It's close to the store, and Xiaorong and Xiaoyun can come over to help if there's anything."

So it was settled, and after putting her fingerprints on the money and paying five years' rent, Cuicui now had her own shop in the town.

Zhong Ruyi gave her a key to her small courtyard in the town and said, "Sleep at your aunt's house at night and open the store during the day." Or if they wanted to, they could go and squeeze in with the sisters Jiang Rong and Jiang Yun.

Cuicui took the key with a smile, "You are the best to me, Auntie!"

As time went by and the weather turned colder, canned chili sales became even better.

Mr. Fang was busy with his business, so after coming a few times he gradually stopped coming, and the next person to come was Butler Fang.

"Summer materials are being sold in the capital now. The needles of the more than one hundred embroiderers under our Fang family are about to fly sparks!" Butler Fang was standing at the door, talking to Zhong Ruyi while watching his men moving cans.

"Selling summer materials in winter?" Zhong Ruyi was surprised. She thought only modern people would do this kind of marketing. She didn't expect that ancient people were also so smart.

"Hey, some of the summer ingredients that have been piled up and can't be sold are now the best time to sell them! The demand is outstripping the supply!"

Butler Fang suddenly remembered and whispered, "Something big is going to happen after the New Year, so you should keep an eye out!"

Zhong Ruyi asked what the big deal was, hoping he could explain it more clearly.

But Butler Fang shook his head and said nothing.
