The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny

As I stepped over the threshold, a faint scent of sandalwood filled my nose, and what came into view was a spacious and cold restaurant with a lobby filled with tables of all sizes.

Rufangzhai seemed to be very deserted at this time. Guo Xin looked around and found that this restaurant was different from Shunyilou in its quietness.

"Sir, what do you want?"

A cheerful female voice came from behind the counter. It should be the shopkeeper.

Guo Xin was a little surprised. After all, in this era and this world, it was rare for women to leave their homes and start their own business.

The shopkeeper seemed to see her surprise and said with a smile: "Is this your first time here, young lady?"

"I founded this restaurant. In addition to the gatekeeper and a few waiters, the rest are girls or women, so it looks a little different from other restaurants."

Guo Xin looked at the shopkeeper in front of her who was wearing a purple dress and couldn't help but admire her.

I wonder if this open-minded shopkeeper will accept my taro chips?

She took out the taro chips from her bosom, her heart beating fast: "Boss, take a look at this, do you accept it? Twenty cents a pound."

This is the last chance.

There are only these two restaurants in this town. Otherwise, we can only sell the products slowly on the street, and we don’t know when we can get our money back.

The shopkeeper heard the nervousness and uneasiness in Guo Xin's voice and smiled faintly, as if to comfort her.

"Girl, let me take a look first, don't be anxious."

She carefully observed the shape of the taro slices, which were purple and white in color, and became suspicious.

"Girl, is this taro?"

Guo Xin said awkwardly, "Yes, but this is not poisonous. Our family has been eating it for a long time!"

Although she traveled through time from the end of the world, her character would not be so unstable.

But after being here for a long time, she has to take care of the lives of three people, so she can no longer live her usual life of feeding the whole family by feeding herself.

The shopkeeper changed his usual friendly expression and stared at Guo Xin with deep eyes, trying to discern the truth of his words.

A long time passed like this. Guo Xin pretended nothing happened and looked back at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper picked up a piece of taro slice and slowly put it into his mouth, savoring it carefully, his bright red lips moving up and down.

She swallowed the taro slices she had chewed in her mouth, raised her lips and smiled softly: "My name is Mo Feifei, you can call me Feifei. Welcome to cooperate with me."

Guo Xin's long-suffering heart finally settled down, and he finally had hope for the rest of his life.

She exhaled lightly and said, "My name is Guo Xin, you can call me Xin'er. Thank you, shopkeeper."

Mo Feifei walked out from behind the counter, held Guo Xin's hand, and said, "Come, let's talk somewhere else."

Guo Xin felt the hand of a strange woman who suddenly appeared in her hand, and felt very novel. This was the first time since she came into this world that she felt the friendliness of someone other than her family.

I was so excited and looking forward to making the first friend I would make in this world.

She followed Mo Feifei to a private room, which was a room with a stronger Zen incense. The first thing she saw was the floor that was raised half a meter, with a low table on it, two cushions on the ground, and a domestic cat lying docilely on the ground. It was a different arrangement from the outside of the restaurant.

Guo Xin was very surprised that such a remote town could be decorated like this. According to his understanding after being here for so long, a shopkeeper who was so bold and could keep a cat should be in the capital.

The two of them sat on the futon with woven patterns, facing each other.

"To be honest, Manager Mo, I have approached Shunyilou before, wanting to sell these taro chips to them, but I didn't expect they would not buy them." Adhering to the principle of telling the whole story of doing business, Guo Xin took the lead in telling her about his experience of selling taro chips.

Mo Feifei didn't seem surprised at all. She stroked the cat slowly and said calmly, "It's okay. I understand. After all, there are so many of them. It's normal to want to sell it to them."

"I came here today and also set up a stall in the West Market, but not many people bought."

Mo Feifei thought for a moment and said, "You guys are setting up a stall in the West Market, so you won't have much to offer me, right?"

Guo Xin asked back, "I wonder how much you want?"

"Let's buy 10 kilograms first." Mo Feifei glanced at the account book on the cabinet and said, "If it sells well, I'll buy another 20 kilograms in ten days."

Guo Xin thought about the few people who had just entered Rufangzhai and was a little worried whether she could really sell ten kilograms.

Don't buy so much goods. If you can't sell them, the restaurant will lose money.

After all, this is just a snack, not tea or something.

She thought so and said: "The goods are fine. I left ten kilograms of goods when I left, and they will be delivered later. If you want more, I will give you 20% discount, 16 cents per kilogram."

"It's just that since I came in, I've noticed that not many people come to Rufangzhai. If so many people come in, will the shopkeeper be able to sell them all?"

Mo Feifei looked at the little girl in front of her with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect that for the first time there was a seller worried that his buyer would lose money.

Perhaps it was out of concern for the buyer's instability, but one could also hear some sincerity in his words.

Mo Feifei's words were more sincere, and she pursed her lips and joked, "Are you worried that I can't afford it?"

Guo Xin naturally sensed Mo Feifei's teasing, laughed, and raised an eyebrow: "I'm a little worried, but not too much. Shopkeeper Feifei is such a cheerful and generous person, and she built the restaurant so uniquely. I'm afraid she can afford it."

"The Rufangzhai you saw is actually just for individual guests. I mainly prepare banquets for the various prefectures."

There was something hidden in Mo Feifei's words. The "prefectures" here obviously did not just refer to the prefectures in this small town, but Guo Xin could not understand it at that time.

Or maybe they didn't expect that such a prominent figure would open a small restaurant that seemed to make a lot of money in this remote town.

Guo Xin heard Mo Feifei's answer and looked at her steadily: "If Shopkeeper Feifei wants to continue placing orders, she can send a message to Guojia Village and say that she wants to find the second branch of the Guo family!"

Mo Feifei nodded, put the cat aside, stood up, and bowed: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation! As a token of cooperation, when you deliver the goods later, just sign and seal it."

"Okay! Thank you, shopkeeper!"

……

Thinking that I have been out for a long time, I wonder what the stall looks like now.

He was really worried about her, and thinking of this, Guo Xin quickened his pace.

"Sister! You're finally back!"

San Ya rushed towards Guo Xin anxiously, unable to hold back the tears in her eyes any longer, and burst into tears.

Seeing that San Ya was the only one at the stall, Guo Xin felt uneasy.

"Don't cry first. What happened?" Guo Xin wiped San Ya's tears and comforted her.

"Si...dan...he...is gone..."

Before she could finish her words, San Ya couldn't help but burst into tears again.
