The general kneels on the washboard again

After seeing off a group of people, Ding Jingen grabbed Yucui who was about to leave.

"Ma'am, did you do this?"

Yuzui's eyes were extremely cold: "What am I doing? Master, are you drunk?"

"That's my ancestral property. Aren't you being too cruel?"

Chalcedony naturally wouldn't admit it: "Really? I thought it was my ancestral property? Haven't I been taking care of it all along? If I say it's not me, will you still believe it now?"

Ding Jingen let go of his hand and said, "I won't go there anymore."

"I don't understand what the master is saying. Okay, I have to go and arrange a dinner for my father and mother."

He left with light steps.

Ding Jingen was in a mess for a moment, then caught up with Yucui's pace.

After all, he couldn't afford to offend his father-in-law.

The night deepens and the bustle fades away.

Yue Niang and her group got on the ox cart to go home. She was very happy today. It seemed that business would be good next year.

The opposite of her was Erya: "Alas, I wonder how Brother Li An is doing."

Ruoyan teased her, "Erya, are you lovesick?"

Zhao Xiaoming also laughed: "Of course it is, look at her like this."

"I won't talk to you anymore." Erya was embarrassed and annoyed.

Old Mrs. Fu looked at the dark night and wrapped herself in a blanket. She was also thinking about the distant past, about the Lantern Festival in Lingzhou long, long ago.

Everyone had their own thoughts, and so they returned to the village.

I have to go to town tomorrow to choose a teahouse.

I slept very soundly tonight.

The next day, Zhao Xiaoming got up particularly early and arrived at Yue Niang's house as soon as the rooster crowed.

Because Yue Niang promised him that she would give him a commission based on sales in the future, his mother would never say that he was useless again.

Before leaving, Old Lady Fu put a scarf on Yue Niang: "I bought it in town yesterday. It's still cold now, but it's still quite chilly."

"Okay, don't worry, grandma."

He also took Ruoyan with him. Erya had something to do at home today, so he didn't call her.

After a short walk, while having a meal at Cui Xin Lou, Shopkeeper Sun came up to her and said, "Girl, those recipes you sold back then were very popular. Do you have any more?"

"Shopkeeper Sun, you're going to let me keep some privacy, right?"

After being processed and modified by the chefs of Cuixinlou, the taste of the braised fish has changed a lot and it has become Cuixinlou's signature dish.

Shopkeeper Sun heard the hidden meaning in Yue Niang's words: "Girl, you want to open a restaurant? Then will you let me do business?"

Yue Niang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Sun. Even if I really open a restaurant one day, I won't use any of the recipes I sell you."

Shopkeeper Sun still didn't give up: "So what do you want to do today?"

Yue Niang also said frankly: "I want to open a teahouse. Doesn't Qingshi Town have a teahouse yet? But I really can't afford this shop."

Shopkeeper Sun said enthusiastically, "I have one here. Do you think it's worth buying? The original owner is going back to his hometown in Rongzhou and is eager to sell it."

Yue Niang's eyes lit up: "Then please, Manager Sun, take me to have a look."

"Okay, okay. Call me from the backyard after you finish eating."

After saying that, Shopkeeper Sun went downstairs.

Yue Niang finished eating in a hurry and urged, "Hurry up." She looked so cute.

When Manager Sun brought a few people to the front of the shop, they found that the location was quite good, a little to the left of the water mirror table.

Behind it is the bookstore, and further behind it is the back door of the academy. Yue Niang looked and thought that she could build a door on that side as well, so that there would be doors on both sides.

This place always feels familiar...

I looked up and saw three big characters written on the top of the door: Yunshuifang! The door was tightly closed.

Shopkeeper Sun went forward and knocked on the door.

dong dong dong~

"Sister Xiuqin, I've brought you a tenant."

A lazy response came from inside: "Brother Sun? Here I come."

When they opened the door, they were both shocked: "It's you?" Is this little girl so rich? They regretted it all over again.

In just a few months, the proprietress became much sloppier.

Shopkeeper Sun asked, "Do you know each other?"

The owner of Yunshuifang denied it: "No, I don't know him. It's just a failed business deal."

She was quite honest at this moment and said the ugly words first.

The Feng Shui master said that the location of her shop was not good and it was a place of loss for prosperity. He had performed dozens of rituals but it was of no use. It had been more than a month and the shop still had not been sold.

Yue Niang looked around, and Shopkeeper Sun was embarrassed: "Little girl from the Fu family, I don't know this!"

Unexpectedly, Yue Niang asked, "What's your price?"

The shopkeeper, hearing this, hurriedly said, "I have one year's lease left. It's written in black and white here. Look, it's three ounces and five cents of silver. I'll give you five cents."

Yue Niang took out the money without saying a word.

The shopkeeper was shocked, but kindly reminded her: "Little girl, have you thought it through? I've already told you."

"I've thought it through." She was not a fool. The three taels of silver were definitely enough to cover the annual shop rent. If it were in Kyoto, it would cost one or two hundred coins a day. Three taels of silver would not be enough for a month's rent.

After all, the biggest reason why business didn’t improve after holding dozens of rituals was that the competitors were too strong.

Yue Niang and the shopkeeper went to the yamen together to adopt the documents, holding the deed excitedly.

"Yueniang, have you really thought it through? That's not a good place." Zhao Xiaoming was very worried. After all, his salary was linked to profits.

Yue Niang comforted him, "I've thought about it, Brother Xiao Ming. If you don't believe me, then I'll invite another master to come and take charge of the situation. You can handle this matter."

"Okay, you just order me around." Zhao Xiaoming was unhappy.

Yue Niang said, "I'm still young, there are many things I can't do."

When her eyes looked at Zhao Xiaoming, Zhao Xiaoming's heart melted: "Don't look at me like that, it's not okay for me to go."

Erya and the others all treat Yue Niang as their younger sister.

After everything was in order, Manager Sun invited a few people to have dinner at Cuixinlou.

Seeing the embarrassment on Shopkeeper Sun's face, Yue Niang probably guessed what was going on: "Shopkeeper Sun, what on earth is going on? We have to get back before dark."

Shopkeeper Sun said, "Although we have the contract and paperwork for the spices, there's a small problem now. I'm afraid I'll have to buy the spices from you."

Yue Niang pretended to nod with difficulty: "But as you said, Manager Sun, the Ding family is rich and powerful, and I am afraid of them too."

Shopkeeper Sun waved his hands quickly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. That fire last night was a natural disaster, a man-made calamity. Someone from the Ding family just came. I'm afraid we won't be able to provide spices this year. So, didn't I find you?"

Speaking of spices, they are definitely more profitable than tea.

Yue Niang finally relaxed her brows. "Manager Sun, are you so upset about this? We've been dealing with each other for such a long time, and I'm certainly happy to continue working with you. So, how about we draft the contract today?"

"Okay, I'll go get the cashier."

While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. This is the first time that Yue Niang has truly experienced this kind of happiness.

Not long after, Manager Sun came up with a few people dressed as manager.

Shopkeeper Sun said, "Miss Fu, these shopkeepers were also affected by the fire and would like to talk to you."

Zhao Xiaoming thought about how tired he was last year, and then looked at these big deals, and suddenly felt that everything was worth it.
