After hearing this, Gu Huaiyi burst into laughter, and then continued to praise it as a good thing. With this rice wind machine, the efficiency of rice processing will definitely increase dramatically in the future.

Coming back to his senses, he saw Gu Yin seemed to be hesitant to speak, and said with a smile:

"You, just say whatever you want to say. There's no need for us to be secretive when we're talking."

"Dad, the thresher must have made a lot of money before, right?" Gu Yin asked directly.

"Yes, there is quite a bit. What's the matter? Are you short of money?" Gu Huaiyi was puzzled. Before he was short of money, he had taken out all the reward money.

Gu Yin waved her hands and said, "No, no, no, I have enough money. I just want to ask where Dad is going to spend the money?"

"We need to build dams. The next rice season will be planted soon, and the farmland will need a lot of water for irrigation. In addition, the road to the city is also waiting to be built."

"What about Ning'an Street? Is there any plan to clean it up?" Gu Yin asked anxiously, thinking of the street where accidents often happened.

Hearing this, Gu Huaiyi frowned slightly and sighed:

"Ning'an Street runs through the north and south city gates and is the closest road to the capital. There are too many horse-drawn carriages and vendors passing by, and the middle section is too narrow, which leads to frequent accidents. However, there are shops on both sides of the street, and we can't demolish all the shops. The cost is too high. But we have never found a compromise."

"Dad, I have an idea, I don't know if it will work." Gu Yin suggested.

"Oh? Just say it." Gu Huaiyi slightly widened his eyes and looked directly at Gu Yin.

"Dad, why don't you issue a ban to prohibit carriages from passing through Ning'an Street and only allow pedestrians to pass through, turning Ning'an Street into a pedestrian street."

"No, no, how can the carriage pass like this?" Gu Huaiyi objected without thinking, thinking that Gu Yin was just playing around.

"Dad, I haven't finished yet. Close Ning'an Street, but build two carriage lanes on both sides of the county town and don't allow pedestrians to enter. In this way, we only need to send people to guide the carriages at the entrance and exit."

"In this way, not only will Ning'an Street be full of pedestrians, but the people will no longer have to worry about accidents. It won't take much longer for carriages to pass through both sides, and they won't have to worry about hitting pedestrians. What do you think?"

Gu Huaiyi: ...Do you need me to think so? You have blocked the road.

Next, Gu Yin made some specific suggestions. For example, the county government should issue a traffic regulation requiring all carriages to drive on the right; or, at both ends of Ning'an Street and near the middle, there should be enough space for carriages to park.

Gu Huaiyi: It's a pity that Yin'er is not a man...

"Mom, have you chosen the address for the restaurant?"

Xue was discussing something with Lamei in the main hall. She heard her daughter's voice from afar, looked up at the door, and saw a tomboy running in like a gust of wind. Xue was numb, and she dared not think about being a lady from a noble family anymore.

"I've chosen one. There's a restaurant on Ning'an Street that's just about to be sold. I bought it for two hundred taels."

It was so fast that it was done in just two days, Gu Yin sighed silently.

"Mom is so amazing. She got it done so quickly." Gu Yin pretended to massage Xue's shoulders and back while flattering her.

"You, just say whatever you want to say." Xue chuckled, turned around and poked Gu Yin on the forehead. Gu Yin fell to the side and squatted beside Xue's legs.

Holding onto Xue's thighs with both hands, he blinked his big eyes and chatted with Xue with a smile:

"Hehe, my daughter's thoughts can't escape my mother's eyes."

"I just had nothing to do, so I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help."

"You can do whatever you want. This restaurant was originally opened for you. You have the final say in everything." Xue patted Gu Yin's hands and said gently.

"Come with me tomorrow to take a look. If there's anything you want to change, just let me know. As long as it's doable, I'll arrange it for you."

"Okay!" Gu Yin agreed happily.

However, when Gu Yin stood in front of a building and looked at this antique three-story carved building, she was stunned...

Her mother only spent two hundred taels to buy such a big building? Moreover, she originally thought that she would just open a small restaurant, but now... it seems... it has become bigger...

Gu Yin couldn't help but touch the back of his head. This was a big deal. If he didn't put in more effort, the company would probably go bankrupt within two months.

The first floor of the building is the lobby. At a glance, there are densely packed tables, estimated to be dozens of them. The second floor is for private rooms, and the third floor has only one room, which is divided into three areas for dining, resting, and entertainment. The room is spacious and the layout is high-end and elegant. It is undoubtedly a super VIP room.

If you want to do well in the restaurant business, first of all, the dishes must be delicious, so that customers will be impressed after eating once, and they will come back for a second time. Ning County is not big or small, but it is definitely not like some small restaurants opened in places such as stations, which can survive only by relying on the flow of people.

The second thing is the environment. No one likes to eat in a dull or solemn environment. The dining place should make people feel relaxed.

The restaurant in front of him was grand and elegant, but in Gu Yin's eyes, it always felt like it lacked some fresh elements. For example, the tables and chairs on the first floor had no partitions in the middle, and looked messy at first glance. Besides the dark wood color, there were no other colors.

"Mom, can I be in charge of the decoration and layout of this restaurant?"

"Of course." Xue smiled at her and said lovingly, "If you need any help from me, just ask."

"You're right, there is really something I want to ask. I'd like to trouble you to help me find a reliable carpenter." Gu Yin climbed up the pole with a smile.

Carefully checking every corner of the three-story building, silently memorizing the size and key points of each area in her mind, Gu Yin slipped away leisurely.

Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Before the carpenter arrives, she has to make the plan and drawings first.

On the return journey, Gu Yin vaguely heard the voices of several people discussing outside the carriage.

"Did you hear that?"

"what?"

"Our God of War has won another victory."

"What's so strange about this?" said the uncle next to him calmly. The God of War has won countless battles, and I'm tired of hearing about them. It would be a surprise if he lost one day. Bah, bah, bah, the God of War will never lose.

"You don't know, this time is different, the King of Mobei has died! This time the war in Mobei will end."

……

There was a sudden silence all around, followed by a loud explosion, and everyone was eagerly confirming the news with the people around them.

"But there is bad news. Our God of War's legs are injured and he can't stand up~" Seeing the crowd getting lively, the man dropped another bomb.

"What? The God of War is lame?"

"What? The God of War is paralyzed?"

Thus, in less than half a day, the news that the war in Mobei had ended and that the God of War's legs were broken spread to the streets and alleys of Ning County.
