The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Shen Jiarou thought about it again and again. She still had some money on her, so she could do as the man said and surround the place to prevent anyone from causing trouble. After all, many people were jealous.

After all, you have to be on guard against others, as you never know who is jealous of you and might do something malicious to you.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll leave this matter entirely to you. Can you accept it?"

The person who spoke almost jumped up and responded quickly.

"Young Master, don't worry, I will definitely get it done for you. By the way, you can just call me Zhang You."

When everyone saw that Zhang Youke could stay, the crowd became excited again.

"Young master, I can be responsible for collecting materials and crops for you, so please keep me as well."

The other man also hurriedly asked the young master to keep him to look after the crops, as his wife at home was sick and needed this long-term job.

There are 7 people left, and everyone wants to stay.

But at this time, Shen Jiarou really couldn't find suitable work for them to do for the time being.

Someone who was well-informed came up with suggestions.

"Young Master, you have a shop, right? When the shop opens, you will need someone, right? How about letting me help you look after the shop?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, another person pushed him away.

"Young Master, I can do it too. You can let me do any hard work."

Shen Jiarou looked at them who were actively recommending her and felt a little sad, but they did say one thing right.

Opening a shop requires manpower. If you sell vegetables, meat, etc., you need at least four people.

The accountant who collects money, the shopkeeper who is in charge, and the waiter who does miscellaneous work.

Shen Jiarou left four more people behind. Li Quan, who was smart, was responsible for managing the entire store, Qin An, who was good at math, was responsible for counting and collecting money, and Ran San and Yan Qin, who were diligent and strong, were responsible for doing miscellaneous tasks.

The two people who stayed behind to guard the goal were Li Zhuzi and Cao Sheng.

Half a month later, the shop officially opened.

Business is pretty good because of the opening activities.

Zhang You’s wall had been repaired, and Shen Jiarou kept him and prepared to take him to the county town.

Zhang You expressed his willingness. He was very happy that the young boss trusted him and was willing to use him.

Mrs. Qin, who was used to living with three people, was a little uncomfortable living alone suddenly.

Zhang You drove the carriage and took Shen Jiarou, Yaer, and Hu Zhan with him, heading towards the county town.

They set out early in the morning and after two hours of travel, they finally arrived at the gate of the county town.

However, each person had to pay 10 coins to enter the city, so the three of them paid 30 coins and entered the city.

The three people, who were so hungry that their chests were sticking to their backs, hurried to a wonton stall and ordered four bowls of wontons.

Yaer hurriedly took out a bowl from her bag, took the wontons handed to her by the aunt, and poured them directly into the bowl.

This operation almost made the aunt unable to handle it, and she looked at her in surprise.

Hu Zhan started eating hurriedly, but Zhang You, who was devouring the food like a wolf, did not notice.

A bowl of hot wontons was quickly eaten up. Seeing that Zhang You was still not satisfied, Shen Jiarou quickly shared some of the wontons in her bowl with her.

Zhang Youyi stopped it immediately upon seeing this.

"Little Master, I've had enough, please eat quickly."

When Shen Jiarou saw him swallowing his saliva, she found it funny. She didn't care whether he accepted it or not. She would not ask for it back anyway.

After eating, Shen Jiarou and Yaer left with Huzhan. Zhang You quickly finished the wontons in his bowl and followed.

"Young Master, please wait...wait for me."

Zhang You's vague words and his sudden stuttering made Shen Jiarou laugh silently.

The three of them walked along the streets of the county town, looking around for business opportunities.

"Selling sweet and fragrant candied haws."

"Selling steamed buns, fragrant and delicious steamed buns."

With the constant hawking sounds on the streets and the conversations among the crowds shopping, the whole county feels much more lively than the town.

Shen Jiarou took another look at the iconic candied haws of this era and went to buy three strings, one for each person.

Zhang Youxin thought that now that he had grown up, he could still eat the candied haws given to him by others. He had never dared to think about it when he was a child.

The three of them ate candied haws while continuing to look for business opportunities.

In the county town there were brocade and silk shops, clothing shops, rouge and powder shops, dessert shops, teahouses, restaurants, blacksmith shops, pork shops, study shops, academies, brothels, and everything else. It was much more lively and complete than in a town.

When it was lunchtime, the three of them went to the first local restaurant to eat.

Since the three people were dressed casually, the waiter was not very enthusiastic.

"Please come in, guest officer."

Look at these three people, a young man and two children, can they afford the food here?

As the three of them stepped in, they felt the waiter's perfunctory attitude. Shen Jiarou took out the silver to pay the bill first, just like before.

She didn't want to be bullied while having a meal, so when the waiter saw the silver, he became more enthusiastic in introducing the food.

"I'll give you one or two ounces of silver just now. You can use it as you see fit."

The waiter immediately went to the kitchen to make arrangements, and soon, with the payment of one or two taels of silver, the meals for the three people were served.

Shen Jiarou, who followed the principle of investigating the market first, called the waiter over.

"Little Second Brother, tell me about the latest news in the county."

Later, he heard from the waiter that their old county magistrate had been transferred to the next county, which was also a poor county, and the new county chief was a middle-aged man.

A young man from a certain family visited a brothel and was beaten to a pulp by a prostitute.

Those kids from some family got into a fight again and got bruised and battered.

A woman who was not faithful to her husband was caught committing adultery on the spot.

There were new shops opening nearby, etc. Shen Jiarou didn’t expect that the small town had so many stories, and she listened with joy.

Shen Jiarou casually took out half a string of copper coins from her pocket, and the waiter happily took it.

"Sir, do you have anything else you want to ask? If not, I'll get busy now."

Shen Jiarou waved her hand, and the three of them continued shopping after eating.

She had previously looked at what kind of shops there were, and in the afternoon she wanted to check out the prices in the shops.

If it were right, she thought she could open a unique restaurant.

At this time, Zhang Er, who was wandering around the county town, accidentally bumped into someone.

"Ouch."

Yaer was accidentally knocked to the ground by a huge force, and she grimaced in pain.

Shen Jiarou hurriedly helped the man up and looked at the person in front of her who was walking in a dishonest manner with a frown.

"I...I didn't mean to do that. She bumped into me."

Zhang Er saw that he had bumped into someone and tried to explain himself in a panic.

Shen Jiarou glared at him speechlessly. What kind of person is this? He didn't apologize after doing something wrong and even made excuses.

If I wasn't in a hurry to see the shop, I would have argued with him.

Zhang Er was so frightened by Shen Jiarou's sharp eyes that he dared not walk around.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted and soon Shen Jiarou began to look at him differently.

"Why are you staring at this shop?"

Then I thought of something and opened my mouth and eyes wide.

"Are you planning to buy a shop?"

Zhang Er had some doubts. These people didn't look like rich people. Could they really afford to buy a shop?

Zhang You saw that his young master was suspected by him, so he immediately confronted him.

"What? I have to tell you whether I can afford it or not?"

Who is this?

Zhang Er felt embarrassed and touched his nose uncomfortably.

"I just want to ask, why are you reacting so strongly?"

Really, this guy only knows how to argue with people.

Then Zhang Er thought of something and quickly looked at Shen Jiarou.

He just observed carefully and found that among the three people, the cool and aloof girl in front of him seemed to be the one who could make the most decisions.

Shen Jiarou was frightened by his stare and began to be alert. Zhang Er had no idea that he was being watched and kept talking.

"I'm telling you, this shop is no good. It will go bankrupt as soon as it opens. There are good shops in other places. I can introduce them to you."

Although he is a freeloader, he is well-informed.

Shen Jiarou thought that since he knew everything, he might be able to give her some useful information.

"How about this? You tell us about this shop, and if it's useful, I'll give you money."

The temptation of money is often the most attractive, and someone like Zhang Er who values ​​money will not miss this opportunity.

After his explanation, Shen Jiarou understood everything about this shop.

However, we cannot completely believe what this person says. We need to find out more.

Zhang Er took half a string of copper coins from Shen Jiarou and left happily.

Zhang You and Yaer didn't say a word during the whole process. Only after everyone left did Zhang You speak.

"Young Master, if you look at it this way, then it's not suitable for us."

A business that loses money is not worth doing, but Shen Jiarou doesn't think so. She believes that success depends on people.
