A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

Shopkeeper Du received them. He was very impressed by Huang Mulin. He took them to the best private room as they requested, served them the best tea in the building, and then left.

Yu Ze found a seat downstairs, ordered some tea, melon seeds, peanuts, etc., and waited for Mr. Jia to arrive.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Jia came with his servant. Yu Ze stood up and led him to Yang Lijun's private room and then went downstairs.

The servant found a place to go by himself.

When Mr. Jia came in, he greeted Yang Lijun, and Yang Lijun asked him to sit down.

He sat respectfully across from Yang Lijun, raised his eyebrows slightly and observed.

Yang Lijun was dressed like a woman from a wealthy family, neither flashy nor ostentatious, but she had a natural aura that was hard to ignore.

What surprised Mr. Jia a little was Huang Mulin, who was sitting next to Yang Lijun.

The little girl was very pretty, with bright and lively eyes, but her overall appearance did not resemble Yang Lijun.

Outsiders don’t know that Yang Lijun adopted Huang Mulin as her adopted daughter, and they didn’t publicize it specifically. Only the Tang family, the He family, and the Jiang family knew about it.

"This is my adopted daughter." Yang Lijun explained to him: "The house I bought last time was a gift from my husband to her to recognize her as a relative."

This is truly... a little Buddha.

Jia Yuanwai quickly greeted her: "Hello, Miss."

"Uncle Yuanwai, you don't have to be so polite." Huang Mulin smiled and said, "Our family has always been taken care of by you, and we would like to thank you."

Mr. Jia looked confused.

"We used to rent a stall at the South Street Pier to sell boxed lunches, and later we moved to a shop on South Street to sell fast food. The name of the shop was Huang's Canteen."

It turned out to be them!

Mr. Jia suddenly remembered what he asked his servants to inquire about last time. He was also wondering why the Duke of Zhenguo wanted to help the Huang family to set up a private school. So this was the relationship.

Just then, the chef from Weimancheng knocked on the door and brought over the dishes that Yang Lijun had ordered.

"I wonder if Mr. Jia has ever tried the new dish that's popular in the city, made with fermented bean curd."

"I've been out a lot lately, and I've never tried new dishes here."

"Then I strongly recommend you to try it."

"Since the Duke's wife recommends it so highly, I must try it."

Huang Mulin felt very uncomfortable listening to this, fortunately he left the business negotiations to his second brother.

He silently gave Huang Haolin a thumbs up and started eating following Yang Lijun.

The atmosphere was quite pleasant. Yang Lijun and Jia Yuanwai would occasionally exchange their thoughts on the dishes, but most of the time they ate quietly, with Huang Mulin being very well behaved beside them.

Stealing skills.

After they had eaten their fill, the food was cleared away, and tea and snacks were served, and then the real business began.

"My family has many ideas for cooking." Yang Lijun started the conversation: "And the Tang family values ​​us so much that we can start a business together."

Mr. Jia also heard about the business partnership between the Huang and Tang families.

"It's just that the Huang family is a family of farmers who were born and raised here. We don't have any foundation, so we'll have to rely on Mr. Jia to take care of us in the future."

"Don't dare."

"Mr. Jia, you're welcome. You're also a well-known figure in Qiling County."

Mr. Jia was polite again and had a general idea of ​​what happened today.

"Recently, my family has been tinkering with some new things, so I'm thinking about buying some shops to earn some money. Unfortunately, I can't find any shops on Beizheng Street right now, so I can only come to you for help."

"Madam, you are too polite. I own several shops. Please take a look and pick any suitable one."

Having said that, it would be unreasonable for Mr. Jia not to express his opinion.

"Mu Mu, why don't you thank Mr. Jia for giving up his love?"

Huang Mulin thanked him crisply and said he would make something delicious for him to taste.

Mr. Jia agreed with a smile, but he didn't take it seriously.

"I won't take the shop for free." Yang Lijun took out a stack of banknotes from her sleeve pocket and said, "I'll give you 30% more than the market price. What do you think?"

"No, no, just follow the market price."

"Hey, I can't let you suffer a big loss every time."

Yang Lijun insisted, and Mr. Jia didn't say much, so he took them to see the shop.

After looking around, Huang Mulin finally decided on a shop that was relatively close to Weimancheng. Coincidentally, this shop was engaged in the pastry business, but the business was average and there were not many customers.

The shop was sold for two thousand six hundred taels.

Yu Ze went to fetch the pawnbroker's manager and handed him the title deed. Jia Yuanwai's servant also went with him to handle the formalities.

"Mr. Jia, from now on, I'll have to trouble you to take care of my little girl."

"No, no, if you have anything to say, Madam and Miss will send someone to give you instructions."

Mr. Jia was very satisfied with the results of today's contact.

The two sides exchanged a few polite words and then said goodbye.

In the evening, Huang Mulin described today's confrontation to Huang Haolin in vivid detail, and the others who were listening were shocked.

The world of rich people is really complicated.

Huang Haolin listened with great interest and regretted that he was not present. When he thought that he would have to face such a situation in the future, he became more determined to study hard and improve himself.

Today, Yang Lijun is completely in charge of the direction of the whole thing. This is the confidence that only those in a high position can have.

In the future, only when he has the reputation of a scholar, will he be able to gain a foothold and communicate with ordinary merchants.

The other brothers are no longer the ignorant ones they used to be. After hearing these stories, they can somewhat appreciate the painstaking effort of their sister to send them to school.

It is imperative for them to pass the examination and become scholars.

After buying the shop, you have to wait for the original employees to move out, and it will take a few days to sort things out.

The shop that was previously purchased for He Yian to build a furniture workshop has already found craftsmen to look at the site and put forward many requirements for modifications. The craftsmen started work a few days ago.

Old Wang took Dong Lin to Linhai Town.

Perhaps because he knew that his pastry cooking skills were appreciated by the young lady, Dong Lin was looking forward to the days to come.

She was no longer an insignificant maid.

Huang Mulin looked at the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with clear and confident eyes.

Can take on big responsibilities.

"Besides osmanthus cake, can you make other cakes?"

"Yes." Dong Lin answered calmly, "I can also make lotus cake, mung bean cake, plum cake, tuckahoe cake, water chestnut cake, and rice cake."

These are all familiar categories.

"Don't call yourself a "slave" in front of me, just call yourself a normal "I"."

"......Yes."

"I have some new types of pastries and snacks here that are not available on the market." Huang Mulin emphasized: "This is the only one of its kind."

Dong Lin's palms immediately became sweaty.

She understood very well what Huang Mulin's words meant.

"Dong Lin is the young lady's subordinate. He will do his best to share your worries and will never say a word to outsiders, otherwise he will die a miserable death."

People in ancient times were prone to cursing and swearing at every turn.
