After eavesdropping on my thoughts, my whole family changed their fate

Jin Yuanyuan didn't realize the suspicion in Ruan Qi's words, and said bluntly:

"This is the medicine for his leg. Didn't he tell you?"

Ruan Qi didn't believe that this medicine could really cure his legs. His young master's legs had been treated by so many famous doctors before, but none of them worked. How could it be cured just by taking the medicine she gave him?

Ruan Qi just thought they were two kids playing house.

He wanted to tell him not to take medicine randomly, what to do if he got sick from it, but he was afraid that if he said it aloud, He Linyuan would get angry, so he could only suppress the thought.

Every day after that, as soon as the four of them got out of school, they would go to Jiuanyuan to monitor the progress of the store renovation.

Because Jin Yuanyuan and the others came in through the back door, Gu Xingruo never realized that the store was opened by them. She even talked about this with Zhao Lingzhou.

"I don't know what kind of store is going to open across the street. It's been renovated for so long and it's still not finished."

Zhao Lingzhou was looking at the account book of the hot pot restaurant at the moment. He nodded with satisfaction and said indifferently.

"There used to be a silver shop across the street. Maybe they have money now so they can renovate it and reopen it. Don't worry about them."

"Xingruo, I really didn't expect that your store would make so much money! What's in your little head to be able to think of such a rare way to make money?"

After getting married, he spent every day with her and got to know her roughly. She was a bit of a drunkard, had an empty head, was not smart, and could not plan.

He really didn't expect that this way of making money was thought up by her.

Gu Xingruo put her hands on her hips, raised her chin, and looked very proud.

"You don't even know how powerful I am. Wait, when I open a second branch, I will definitely make more money than this!"

Her ambition is to open hotpot restaurants in every corner of the world, and the money will flow into her pocket like water.

"Master, master! Oh no! There's a fight going on down there!"

The waiter came in hurriedly, wanting to tell them what happened next.

Gu Xingruo was as steady as a rock and sat down to listen to his report.

"What's the hurry? What happened? Tell me slowly."

There were outsiders present, so Zhao Lingzhou closed the account book and listened to what the waiter said.

"A customer downstairs ate a centipede in the hot pot and has been making a fuss, asking us to compensate them. The man wants three hundred taels. What do you think we should do about this matter?"

It can be said that Gu Xingruo’s management of the store is non-existent.

The ability to make so much money is all thanks to the novelty brought by hot pot itself. Every time Gu Xingruo comes to the store, he just walks around twice, takes the money and leaves.

Seeing that she didn't take care of things, the people under her became increasingly lazy. The kitchen was only cleaned once every half a month. Eating dirty food was not the first thing that happened, and there were many such incidents before.

Gu Xingruo didn't care much. He stretched out his hand to warm the fire and squinted his eyes comfortably.

"I thought something had happened. It's no big deal. Didn't something similar happen last time? Go call that customer out alone and warn him, telling him that this is a shop run by the prince. Tell him to behave himself and stop making trouble!"

What are they doing if she has to take care of such trivial matters?

After hearing her solution, Zhao Lingzhou frowned.

He took out three hundred taels from the box containing the banknotes and handed them to the waiter.

"Don't listen to her. Give him the banknotes as compensation and ask him to leave immediately."

"Why did you give him money?" Gu Xingruo stood up angrily.

After the waiter left with the banknotes, Zhao Lingzhou explained to her.

"You can't always use your royal status to suppress this kind of thing. If it goes on for a long time, it will be discovered by my father sooner or later and something bad will happen. Things that can be solved with money are not a big deal. If something similar happens again in the future, just pay money to settle it, understand?"

"Also, you should come and keep an eye on this restaurant more often. It's not the first or second time that customers have eaten dirty food. What if someone dies?"

He had heard of similar things before. Although it was a hot pot restaurant and it was inevitable that the ingredients would attract bugs, it was okay once or twice, but such things happened more and more frequently, so he had to be on guard.

Gu Xingruo is now making money and feels more confident.

Being accused by him, she was a little impatient, "Okay, stop nagging, I will take care of my own affairs."

"Let me ask you, do you have any money left? I want to open a branch, but I'm still short."

As long as the branch is opened, money will flow into her hands every day.

Zhao Lingzhou pointed at the box of banknotes beside him.

"You earn so much, why do you still want me to pay?"

"Hey, half of this money has to be used for the operation of the old store. It can't be touched casually. Once the new store opens, I will have money. We are husband and wife, why are you calculating so clearly with me?"

He originally didn't plan to give it to her, but when he saw the considerable profit in the account book, he agreed.

"Okay then. I'll give you one thousand taels, but there's one condition. You have to keep this store clean for me, and don't let bugs happen again."

Gu Xingruo agreed readily, but didn't take it to heart.

Instead of spending her time cleaning, she might as well focus on the new store. Why does she always worry about the details?

After getting the money from Zhao Lingzhou, he started looking for a store to open a branch.

During the time she was looking for a new store, Jiuanyuan had already opened.

Jin Yuanyuan and the others did not plan to show their faces. After all, they were too young. If they opened a shop, people would inevitably suspect that they were just playing house and were unreliable.

The acting shopkeeper was setting off firecrackers at the door at the moment. The new store was opening, and there were dragon and lion dances, and juggling, which attracted quite a few people.

When most people had arrived, Shopkeeper Qin stood on a stool, with a smile on his face, and introduced himself to everyone.

"Dear fellow villagers, today! Jiuanyuan officially opens. We are offering a big sale for new customers. Every customer who comes will receive a cup of milk tea and a serving of double skin milk. Only the first 50 customers will be given a first-come, first-served basis while stocks last!"

Upstairs at Jiuanyuan.

Jin Yuanyuan and the others looked down at the opening of the business, and the four of them excitedly leaned against the window, looking forward to it.

Gu An was a little worried, "Yuanyuan, if we give it to them for free, won't we lose money? Although we have a lot of money in our account, we can't squander it like this."

Xiaojiu was also worried about losing money. "We spent a lot of money to customize the copper pot. If Lin Yuan hadn't paid so much, we wouldn't have had the funds to turn around. If we gave it away for free... wouldn't we really lose money?"

Their concerns were not unreasonable, but Jin Yuanyuan also had her own considerations. She patted Gu An's shoulder soothingly.

"Don't worry, they have all tried hot pot, but not milk tea and double skin milk. People will be reluctant to try things they have never tried before. If you want others to accept new things, you have to give them away."

She followed the marketing methods of later generations, so it will definitely work.

No one would dislike free things. No matter how rich they are, their money doesn’t come from the wind. Only by giving away profits can they make more money.

Gu An agreed with Jin Yuanyuan's words, "We have tried milk tea and double skin milk, haven't we? If you have tried them once, wouldn't you want to try them a second time?"

"Besides, Yuanyuan has set a limit, only giving away fifty servings. Once they try it and find it delicious, they will definitely spend money to buy more."
