Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

After seeing off the Su family, Luo Yu did not completely relax.

It is troublesome to have a household registration now. In this era, it is not easy for a woman of twenty years old to go anywhere. It seems that she has to go to Wangzhou to ask Lord Li for help to get a pass.

Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Murong Huaijin explained: "I saw your father and brother were looking for you all over the city. If they found you here, I was afraid it would cause more trouble, so I brought them here personally."

Luo Yu looked at him suspiciously. Why didn't she believe it? She didn't know how much he knew. Butcher Su and Fatty Su would definitely tell everything.

"Oh, thank you so much. Now, I'm going to work."

Murong followed her for a long time before asking, "Are you planning to sneak away today?"

"Why would I escape from you?"

"Now that I've helped you solve your problem, there's no need for you to run away."

"Oh!"

Luo Yu thought, if he doesn’t slip away now, he has to find a good opportunity to ask for leave and then leave secretly.

If she leaves now, Master Murong might have already sent people to keep an eye on her sooner or later. She has to wait until the day when he lets down his guard.

Afterwards, he worked in the Sunny Day Restaurant for another ten days in a daze. The business of the restaurant was neither good nor bad. Qin Luosheng was bored every day and looked at the dishes, which were updated almost every five days. Although the rich people were willing to spend money on food and drink, most of the people who came to the restaurant were from other places doing business, and there were very few locals.

Qin Luoqi was bored and analyzed the problems of the restaurant out of boredom.

Sunny Day Restaurant was aimed at the wealthy, but even if the wealthy ate lavishly every day, they would eventually tire of it. If it were aimed at ordinary people, who would be willing to pay several taels of silver for a single dish, they would probably not come to this place.

Besides, there are many restaurants of different grades in Tanzhou now, and the business of low-priced restaurants is not necessarily bad.

But what kind of business model can attract both rich people and ordinary people?

Luo Yu thought about it, and a buffet scene popped up in his mind. The ingredients were divided into low-end and high-end, with different price points and different dining areas. For example, ordinary people could dine in the lobby for 500 wen per person. They could eat anything except the food in the high-end area, but they couldn't take it away. The time limit was one hour. The high-end area would have an extra incense stick of time, with dedicated dining rooms. They could also dine in the lobby for two taels of silver per person, and eat all they wanted in the entire area.

Luo Yu had no idea whether he could make money, but this was definitely attractive. He wanted to give it a try, what if he could succeed?

Although she thought about it, after writing a specific business model copy, she did not go to find Murong Jingjing for a long time.

A few days later, Luo Yu discovered that Master Murong seemed to have never appeared since that day. Could it be that he really helped Su Xiaoxiao just out of guilt?

Thinking of this, Luo Lu felt that he was narrow-minded. Young Master Murong was a gentle and kind person. Qin Luo Lu had taken advantage of him many times in the past, but he always helped her regardless of the past grudges and waited for her silently. He was the same now, just helping people in need out of kindness.

Thinking of this, Luo Yu went to find Murong Jingjing, wanting to tell her about the restaurant's model and ask about the whereabouts of Master Murong.

The first time Murong Jingjing saw Luo Yu, she smiled and said, "Miss Su Xiaoxiao has lost a lot of weight recently. I heard from the aunts that she gets up early every day to exercise and eats very little. Has she made up her mind to lose weight?"

Luo Yu was stunned and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, didn't you hear that my father and brother from my hometown came to Tanzhou City to capture me and take me back to marry an old man who was about to die?"

Murong Jingjing shook her head, a gossipy look on her face. "Is it true? Why haven't I heard anyone mention this to me? Where are your father and the others? Why didn't they take you away?"

Luo Yu said with a fierce face: "Seventh Miss, do you really want me to be taken away?"

"I'm just kidding. I'm so happy to have Miss Su Xiaoxiao helping me."

Luo Yu privately looked around Murong Jingjing's study room again, but she didn't see any trace of Murong Huaijin. She breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Seventh Miss, has your fifth brother not been here recently?"

Murong Jingjing chuckled and raised her head to look at her chubby face, where a cunning glint flashed in her medium-sized eyes.

"Miss Su Xiaoxiao, are you thinking about my fifth brother? Oh, my brother is still single and doesn't have a fiancée."

"I miss him..." Luo Yu thought for a moment and said with a playful smile, "I do miss him a lot. After all, your fifth brother helped me. If it weren't for him, I might have married an old man who is about to be buried."

"Oh? Did Fifth Brother really help you?"

"Yes, I thought about it and felt that I should thank him in person. I was not very smart last time and didn't say thank you to him."

"Then you might have to wait. Wasn't Fifth Brother the top scholar last year? The Ministry of Personnel sent a letter saying there was a new position for him to take up, so Fifth Brother rushed to the capital a few days ago. If you want to see him, you might have to wait until he comes back to visit us next time."

"Really?" Luo Yu was in a good mood for some reason. Now he could slip away without any worries.

"Of course it's true. It seems that Miss Su Xiaoxiao is disappointed. If Fifth Brother goes to the capital, there will definitely be many high-ranking officials in the court who will take a fancy to him as a son-in-law. Brother is so handsome, young ladies will like him very much!"

Luo Yu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, your fifth brother will soon have good fortune."

Murong Jingjing saw that she was very calm, as if she was sincerely blessing Murong Huaijin. She wanted to ask her what she thought, but she didn't expect Luo Yu to speak first: "Fifth Miss, if everyone wants to get married, then they must find a satisfactory husband. I wonder if you have found a satisfactory husband now?"

Murong Jingjing never thought that she would become the host. When it comes to her marriage, the eldest son of Mr. Xie, the governor of Tanzhou, did come to propose marriage, but she declined on the grounds that she wanted to do business. Now that she is at the age of a flower, there are endless people coming to propose marriage, but Murong Jingjing just doesn't like any of them.

The man she wanted must be like her fifth brother, talented in both literature and martial arts, handsome, and with a good character. Old Madam Murong always laughed at her, saying that she might never get married in this life.

The Murong family is confident and will not make things difficult for the government if she doesn't marry.

Qin Luohong’s current identity is not easy to deal with.

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao waiting for her to speak, Murong Jingjing smiled and changed the subject: "Let's not talk about whether or not to get married for now. What does Miss Su want to see me about?"

Luo Lu thought that Master Murong had been away for several days, so he generously presented his idea for the restaurant model to Murong Jingjing, as a way of thanking her for her care during these days.

Murong Jingjing read the business copy she brought with her, her mouth opened wide, and she slammed the table repeatedly.

"Su Xiaoxiao, how can you think of this? That's great! Let's start planning our actions carefully tomorrow!"

As expected of a member of the Murong family, he is decisive and efficient in his work, and has won Qin Luohong's heart.

She decided to help Murong Jingjing improve the restaurant model, and it would not be too late to leave then.
