"Sir, thank you for your hard work in the early stages. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I will come to town frequently." Ru Yue turned to Madam Lou Er and said, "There is one more thing that I am afraid I will trouble you with. These foods are famous for their freshness and uniqueness. If a recipe is accidentally leaked, our business will be greatly affected. Therefore, the cook and the chef must be people who know us well and can control them.

Mr. Lou and his wife were both stunned. They had never thought of this before, and immediately nodded in agreement. The accountant and the shopkeeper were fine, but they really had to be careful when hiring people in the kitchen.

"Mother Fang in my house is my dowry maid. She has always been good at cooking. I will find two servants in the house to use first. Later on, we can hire some people to teach them well and then distribute them."

"Madam, you are right. I will trouble you to prepare first. When the time is almost up, the little girl can come to the mansion and teach them the craft."

Several people couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

"Sir, our shop's business mostly relies on women, so I'm afraid we'll have to find some women to work here."

"If we only do business with women, I'm afraid half of our customers will be lost, right?" Mrs. Lou Er asked in confusion.

Ru Yue laughed and said, "In this world, the easiest way to make money is to take money from women and children!" She said nothing more, but just stared at the couple and smiled faintly.

After a long moment, Mr. Lou slapped his thigh and yelled, "Yes, Madam, you're delusional. How many men would go to a shop to enjoy desserts and pastries? They're just paired with tea. But it's different for women. Those without money can buy some to try, and those with money can enjoy drinks and desserts. If this were a place suitable for women to invite to a party, it would be packed. Just imagine, which rich girl would care about the cost of a meal?"

Mrs. Lou Er thought about it for a moment and immediately understood what she meant. She kept praising Ru Yue for her good mind and said she was indeed a good candidate for business.

The few of them discussed the details of the store decoration for a while before stopping.

"By the way, Ruyue, your chili sauce is really good, but are you thinking of selling it at the market?" Mrs. Lou Er received the chili sauce that Ruyue brought them today, and asked curiously when she had some free time.

"I originally wanted to build a workshop in the village to make chili sauce, and choose a shop in the town to sell it. Now I am building a house and a workshop. I am afraid that I don't have enough money, so I want to wait and see." Ru Yue did not hide her plan from the couple and told them the truth.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, kid? You don't have to be so polite if you're short of money. We can all help you out. Just get your family in order first. If you really want to open a shop, just tell us. We won't let money affect our business."

"Thank you, ma'am. If anything happens, I will definitely ask you and my husband for help."

"Mr. Chu, it's truly a great honor that you wish to study with Mr. Wu now. Don't underestimate him, he lives in this small town. His talent is enough to send you all the way to the capital for the Spring Examination." After discussing business matters, the few of them became more casual. Second Master Lou also wanted to help them fill in some of their relationships in this town. "Over the years, countless people have sought his services, but he has rejected them all for various reasons. The fact that you have earned his favor is enough to prove your extraordinary talent. If you want to make a name for yourself, you must learn from him."

"Master and his wife are both very kind to Ning'an. Master knows my family's situation, so he left the books and diaries I needed to study to me, and didn't require me to be with him all the time." Chu Ning'an responded calmly, not feeling unhappy about their previous neglect of him during their business negotiations. "Ruyue is really hard up raising a family alone, so this is better. I can also help her out a little."

"It's really good that you can think and act this way. We can rest assured."

Ru Yue knew that they were really doing this for her own good, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. Since coming here, she had indeed met many strange and evil people, such as the old Meng family, but there were more people with good intentions who helped her a lot, and her sense of belonging increased.

"Mr. and Mrs. are both busy. I will prepare the shop's recipes and rules in the near future. I will bring them to you for discussion and finalization. We can use them when we open the shop later."

Several people said yes.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ru Yue and Chu Ning'an both stood up and said goodbye. They went to meet An Ping and waited together for Zhang Erqiang to take them back to the village.
