The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 71: Opening a Noodle Shop Together

Shen Jiarou was surprised that Yu Hongtao would actually cooperate with her. "Master Yu, do you want to cooperate with the noodle shop?"

Yu Hongtao was stunned. The princess really had a way to make money.

"Noodle House?"

Ruan Qingling and Zhen Luosang looked at their princess, wondering when did the princess want to open a noodle shop again.

Yu Hongtao didn't think about it for too long. He had been too poor in recent years. This was not a good thing for him. He had to agree quickly because he couldn't miss the opportunity.

"Okay, when do you plan to start?"

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips and thought, "This princess wrote a letter in person, asking your people to go to the princess's mansion. By the way, this princess has something to arrange."

Yu Hongtao thought for a moment and said, "Then let Master Qian go."

Mr. Xie felt that he had no idea what was going on in Shen Jiarou's head, as she always had many ways to make money.

Ruan Qingling and the other person helped Shen Jiarou to the village chief's house. The embarrassed village chief stood cautiously by the side.

Seeing that he was a little hesitant, Shen Jiarou smiled faintly.

"Don't be embarrassed, village chief. Just mind your own business."

The village chief nodded repeatedly and left. When he reached the main hall, he saw Yu Hongtao in official uniform. The hesitation that had just disappeared came back again.

"grown ups."

Yu Hongtao raised his eyes and asked, "Is it arranged?"

The village chief respectfully replied, “Yes.”

Shen Jiarou picked up the cup of honeysuckle tea brought by the village head's wife and sat down.

"Sister Luosang, please grind the ink."

In private, she called them sisters to make the relationship between master and servant seem more intimate.

Zhen Luosang bowed and said, "Yes."

This time she brought some better writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone. Ruan Qingling took out a piece of medium-sized rice paper and spread it out.

Shen Jiarou took out the brush she had brought with her, waited for Zhen Luosang to grind the ink, then she dipped the brush in some and began to write her own rules.

After finishing writing, Ruan Qingling waited for it to dry naturally for a while and then carefully put it away.

Shen Jiarou raised her eyes slightly and said, "Send it to Master Qian."

Ruan Qingling bowed and said, "Yes, I will go now."

Master Qian took the letter and rode back to the county town at full speed.

When Shen Jiarou came out, she found it was a little late because it was hot.

“This day has passed so quickly.”

Hearing the princess sigh, Zhen Luosang couldn't help but agree, "Yes."

Yu Guangzhong and Zhen Luosang saw Zheng Shutong coming back.

"Princess, Shutong is back."

Shen Jiarou looked up and saw Zheng Shutong approaching. "Is it done?"

Zheng Shutong smiled and bowed, "My lord, yes."

Thinking of her noodle shop, Shen Jiarou couldn't help but curl her lips. Zhen Luosang and Zheng Shutong smiled at each other, their masters always knew how to make money.

When Nanny Wang saw Master Qian asking for a meeting, she was very confused.

What is he here for?

"Please!"

In the main hall, Master Qian walked in wearing a thick gray robe.

"Greetings, Nanny Wang. The princess has a handwritten letter for me to give to you."

Nanny Wang took it and thanked her, "Thank you very much. I'm sorry for bothering you."

Master Qian said goodbye and left.

Nanny Wang tore up the envelope and opened the letter and was stunned.

The princess asked her to look for a shop with only one floor that could be used as a noodle restaurant.

After checking the revenue registration of the hot pot shop, Nanny Su took the princess's carriage back home.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the mansion, the doorman guard respectfully notified him.

"Madame Su, Madame Wang asked you to come back and visit her courtyard."

Nanny Su nodded slightly, "Okay."

In the yard, Nanny Wang was checking the hand warmer that Xu Zhi brought back.

"It looks good. According to what the princess said, we will send out a letter to invite those who have good relations with us and those who have cooperated with us recently. Let Su Shuang handle this matter.

Xu Zhi, you should bring ten hand warmers of five different styles to the hot pot shop and ask the shopkeeper to post an event notice. A new style hand warmer can be won through a lottery. Let's promote it first."

Xu Zhi cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I understand."

At the corridor, Nanny Su and Xu Zhi met.

"Xu Zhi, is the hand warmer ready?"

Xu Zhi bowed and said, "Yes, Ma'am, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Madam Su waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."

As soon as she reached the gate of the courtyard, she heard Nanny Wang's admiring voice.

"Don't mention it, the hand warmer designed by the princess looks quite novel in its finished product."

The maid agreed, "It's mainly simple and elegant, yet grand."

Nanny Wang was surprised. "Oh, you can still say such words. It's amazing."

The maid smiled shyly, "Madame Wang, please stop teasing me. I just heard Princess Duo and Miss Xie talking, so I just said this. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Nanny Wang stroked the hand warmer and sneered, "It's rare that you are so talkative today."

The maid was shy again, and Nanny Su's voice rang out.

"This old servant greets Nanny Wang."

"I'm back. How's the shop?"

"That's good. I can earn one or two taels of silver a day. After deducting expenses, I can earn forty taels a month."

Nanny Wang curled her lips slightly and said, "Although it's not as good as Anren County, it's still okay. When the economy here picks up in the future, maybe it can double."

Nanny Su also wanted to have such a day. After all, the princess had put a lot of thought and effort into it, and was willing to spend manpower, material resources and money.

Thinking of the letter that the princess had someone bring, Nanny Wang took out the letter and gave it to Nanny Su.

"Look, the princess asked us to find a shop. It would be best if the first floor is wider. I think 60 square meters is about right. Excluding the kitchen and the counter area, it should be able to seat at least 50 people."

Madam Su thought for a moment and replied, "About the same. A bowl of noodles outside usually costs three to five coins. We sell it for five coins. If a hundred people eat it a day, we can make fifteen taels of silver in a month. After deducting expenses, ten taels of silver is more than enough."

Nanny Wang nodded and said, "Maybe not only that. Since the princess wants to open a noodle shop and wants such a large area, she may have other ideas."

Nanny Wang was right. At this moment, Shen Jiarou was sitting at the desk, thinking hard about the types of noodles.

In ancient times, there were Yangchun noodles, knife-cut noodles, longevity noodles, longevity noodles, heart-warming noodles, and soul-warming noodles. The variety was quite rich, but the only drawback was the side dishes.

Seeing that the princess was still thinking under the oil lamp, Ruan Qingling poured her a cup of hot tea.

"Princess, have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."

Shen Jiarou raised her head and smiled, "Okay."

Zhen Luosang was still grinding the ink seriously, while Shen Jiarou began to write down her ingredients.

Zheng Shutong looked at the words above and muttered to himself.

"Shredded potatoes, shredded carrots, shredded radish, winter mallow, wintergreen, leeks..."

As he read on, Zheng Shutong became confused.

"Princess, why are there so many side dishes?"

She saw that there were different types of meat.

"If there are more varieties, the prices will be different. You can't make much money just by selling low-priced noodles even if you work yourself to death."

Zheng Shutong understood. "I understand. After hearing what the princess said, I am looking forward to it."

Her princess likes to study food, and in a month she would eat at least ten dishes.

Shen Jiarou smiled, her eyebrows trembling.

"When summer comes, you can also eat it with white porridge, cold noodles, and cold potato flowers. Not only is it refreshing to eat, but it can also increase your income."

Ruan Qingling and Zhen Luosang looked at each other and smiled. "We are so happy that we wish it was summer now."

Zheng Shutong shook his head. "No, there are fun things to do in winter. Building snowmen, having snowball fights, and appreciating plum blossoms are all good."

Shen Jiarou was moved by what she said.
