Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 78: Lucky Numbers, the Temptation of Peaceful Fruits

Yao Qingnian didn't know that someone was plotting against her. She was busy preparing for the opening of her new shop. The shop had been renovated and looked brand new. The cash register, the kitchen, the tables and chairs, and the containers for cooked food such as braised food were all restored to their original appearance about 70 to 80 percent according to her drawings. With the technology available in ancient times, Yao Qingnian was already very satisfied that the shop could be so well done.

The name of the shop is "Qingnian Food Court"

She asked Lu Xiangqian and Fang Ye to help her write hundreds of opening promotional materials. She wanted to give them money, but they refused. Yao Qingnian had no choice but to treat them to milk tea and gave them customized milk tea cups, which made their classmates in the academy very envious.

At Yunlai Restaurant, new braised food and green rice dumplings were launched a few days ago, and they immediately became the restaurant's signature features. The restaurant, which originally had decent business, is now even more popular and has become the most well-known restaurant in Anding County.

Other colleagues could only watch, because they couldn't figure out the recipe of the braised food even if they asked people to buy it for research. As for the green rice dumplings, they asked people for the recipe and they did succeed, but they were no match for others, so they could only organize activities in various ways to attract more people.

For example, Qianweilou, another famous restaurant in the city, attracted most of its customers there, which made the owner so angry that he spent a lot of money to invite the top singers of Shuiyue Pavilion to come and play musical instruments and sing, making the place very lively.

The gentry and nobles of Anding County were all lingering between the two restaurants. On one side there were delicious food, and on the other side there were beautiful women, making it difficult to choose between them.

Yao Qingnian was planning to open the store on the eighth day of next month, with still more than ten days to go. She found a few children, gave them a few dozen coins, and asked them to distribute the ancient version of the flyer written by Lu Xiangqian to the people of Anding County.

For a time, it caused quite a stir in the city. Everyone knew about the opening of Yao Qingnian's shop. It was said that the highest spender on that day would receive a free peace apple! Not only peace apples, but also qingtuan and eggs. They didn't dare to think about the peace apple, but they still had hope of getting eggs.

Everyone in Anding County knew that the Jiang family had sent the Peace Apple to the county magistrate's wife's banquet. It was said that one apple cost more than a hundred taels! I don't know who the owner of this food shop is, and he would use such a valuable thing as a prize.

Her message was written by Lu Xiangqian. Three days before the opening, activity one: buy a braised dish and get a free green rice dumpling. Activity two: the first fifty people who buy braised dishes will get an egg. Activity three: milk tea is half price! Another big news: the person who spends the most in the first three days will get a peace fruit!

"What is milk tea?"

"Have you heard that a new shop has opened in front of the academy?"

"Buy something and get free eggs!"

"Is it the braised food sold at Yunlai Restaurant? I heard it's very expensive, 500 coins per serving!"

What? Yunlai Inn sells a serving of braised food for 500 wen?! My own braised food only costs 15 wen. There is a huge difference. It is dozens of times more expensive!

"What's that? The peace apple is the main point! The one who spends the most money on the day will get a free peace apple!"

As soon as the news came out, not only the common people, but even the gentry and nobles of Anding County became interested and speculated who would be able to obtain the peace fruit from Qingnian Food House.

The price of pig offal went up due to the popularity of Yunlai Restaurant. Yao Qingnian had no choice but to raise the price to thirty cents per serving.

She took some time to go back to the village and prepare to take Liu Shuyue and the others to the county town. On the one hand, she wanted to help with the preparations for the opening, and on the other hand, she wanted to let them see her shop. She had said before that she would bring them here, but she had never found a suitable opportunity.

Yao Qingnian first went to find Ye Youcai and asked him to help deliver the milk tea cups to the shop so that they could be disinfected and put in the cabinet.

"Brother Ye! Thank you for your hard work these past few days! I'd also like to trouble you to help me deliver the milk tea cups carved by my father to the shop."

"no problem!"

Ye Youcai agreed.

"This is your wages. Cutting bamboo and going to the city will take up your time."

Yao Qingnian took out two taels of silver and handed it to him.

"Yao Qingnian, you gave me too much!"

Ye Youcai helped her cut the bamboo in just a few days, and then helped her transport it to the city, which only cost him one or two taels of silver at most. How could he accept this half more money? Just when he wanted to refuse, Yao Qingnian said, "Brother Ye, I will have to trouble you again in the future! Just accept it! As the fee for me to rent your ox cart in advance!"

"That's fine! If you need to use a bullock cart next time, just tell me."

Ye Youcai put the silver in his pocket, drove the ox cart to Yao Qingnian's house, and helped put all the milk tea cups on the ox cart and transported them to the shop in Anding County.

"Mom! Tomorrow I will take you to my shop to stay for a few days. My shop will be open for business soon. I am afraid I can't handle it alone. You have to help me!"

"Okay, I'll take care of the housework today!"

If they went into the city, it would probably take several days, and someone would need help to look after the pigs and chickens. Liu Shuyue found her old sister Liu Jinhua and asked her to help look after the house. She also told her about Qingnian's shop in the city.

"What? Qing Nian bought a shop in the city? She's really promising. I was wondering why she came to see Youcai last time. It turns out she was planning to open a shop. Ah Yue, congratulations!"

Liu Jinhua was happy for Liu Shuyue from the bottom of her heart. Her daughter-in-law had finally come to her senses.

"I'd like you to look after the house for a few days!"

Liu Shuyue took out a box of snacks that Yao Qingnian brought back from the city. She didn't have anything else to express her gratitude, so this was the only thing she could give.

"No problem! Just go ahead and don't worry! If you need any help, just tell me. We'll be there for you!"

"Qing Nian asked me to bring you this box of snacks. Let Ruofang and the children have a taste."

"Then I'm not welcome!"

Liu Jinhua understood Liu Shuyue's personality. If she didn't accept it, she was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so she readily agreed.

When Yinuo heard that he was going to stay in the city for a few days, he was very happy and had fun in the yard.

Because Lu Mingchuan had difficulty walking, Yao Qingnian decided to let Ye Youcai make another trip to take their family to the town tomorrow.

While she was sorting things out in the yard, there was a knock on the gate. She walked over and opened the door, and saw Li Rouer standing outside: "I'll wait for you under the tree at the entrance of the village at 4 p.m. tonight. I have something important to tell you."

"Hey! Isn't this the noble lady from the city? How come she came to our corner?"

Yao Qingnian didn't want to pay any attention to her. Going to the village entrance tonight? I'm afraid he has no good intentions! She turned around and prepared to close the gate.

"Yao Qingnian! Don't you want to know about Meng Jingyu's news?"

Yao Qingnian paused. This again? Tsk~

"Is there anything you can't say now?"

"No, I'll wait for you under the tree at the entrance of the village tonight!"

Li Rouer was sure that as long as it was about Meng Jingyu, Yao Qingnian would definitely come. She turned around and saw Wang Qinyu behind her. Wang Qinyu was an honest person and always let Old Lady Huang manipulate her, so she didn't care and walked away.
