Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Xiu shrugged dejectedly as his desire to eat spicy food was dashed.

Qi Yuan then picked out some kitchen utensils that he had often seen before.

It was clear that the Robinson family's caravan had been to many places in the Eastern Continent and were unwilling to miss any opportunity to make a fortune.

We've stocked up on things like the semi-circular woks and kitchen knives that are only available in Dongzhou.

And it takes a certain amount of time to get in.

Because they couldn't be sold, some of the products already had a thin layer of dust on them.

The store manager, who was in charge of managing the shop, was surprised that someone was willing to buy the unsold junk and brought out all the previously stockpiled products to show Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan wasn't picky at all; he selected several items from among the unsold products.

Having picked out most of the necessary goods, Qi Yuan said, "That's enough. I'm going to go to the market to take a look."

"Go to my family's butcher shop, it's right next door."

Xiu started promoting it again.

Qi Yuan looked at him with suspicion, "Your family's businesses are so diverse?"

"Reselling is our main business, selling meat is our side business. My family's butcher shop has the freshest and best beef, as well as all kinds of freshly caught sea fish, shrimp and crab every day!"

Xiu enthusiastically promoted his own business.

Kyle wanted to say that the Davis family's beef and seafood businesses accounted for 40% of Juecheng's economy, and that people could get meat and seafood from their own shops.

However, this trip with Qi Yuan...

Kyle discovered that Qi Yuan was a very opinionated person. He could be quiet when he needed to be, and would never disturb anyone. He would also stand up when he needed to and speak his mind.

Qi Yuan bought many things he had never seen before at the Xiu family's shop. Kyle didn't know what Qi Yuan was going to do with these things, but Qi Yuan didn't hesitate and took everything he saw, as if he knew how to use them.

He didn't understand some of Qi Yuan's actions, just as he didn't understand why Qi Yuan hired the group of homeless people in the restaurant as employees.

There were more than thirty homeless people there, which is definitely a lot for a restaurant.

Kyle suddenly remembered the good deeds Noah had done some time ago and wondered if he was influenced by Qi Yuan to do such good deeds.

The best way to know what kind of person Qi Yuan is is to stand quietly by his side and observe until things settle down, and whether the outcome is good or bad, then you will know Qi Yuan's methods and character.

After thinking for a moment, Kyle didn't give Qi Yuan too many hints and chose to watch from the sidelines.

We arrived at Robinson's butcher shop.

Two customers are buying meat in the shop to prepare a delicious dinner.

The butcher shop was a little smaller than the previous shop. It looked like the warehouse of the shop next door had been vacated and turned into a butcher shop.

Because of the small size of the shop, the amount of beef hanging inside looks like a lot.

Another stall selling beef displayed various kinds of sea fish, shrimp, and crabs of all sizes.

Snow crabs seem to be the most common type of crab in Juecheng; almost all the stalls display this type of crab, and there seem to be very few people buying them.

There weren't many fish and shrimp, but the basket was full of snow crabs.

Because of winter.

The fish and shrimp here are frozen solid, only the snow crabs look alive and can still move.

The beef was of very good quality.

The meat is alternating between lean and fat, resembling snowflakes.

Qi Yuan pointed to several cuts of beef and ordered 100 jin of each. These 100 jin would be delivered to the restaurant in three days, and another 20 jin would be delivered to the restaurant tomorrow.

Qiyuan also ordered a lot of shrimp and fish, and the snow crab was very cheap, so Qiyuan also ordered that.

Qi Yuan wanted everything. Xiu looked at the ingredients and thought about what Qi Yuan sold in the shop next door. He wondered what could be made with these ingredients.

Having bought quite a few things at the butcher shop, Qi Yuan was about to return to the restaurant to check on the cleaning when he caught a glimpse of the vegetable shop next door.

He told Kyle to go to the shop next door, where the vegetable baskets outside were piled high with potatoes, cabbages, and tomatoes.

In a shop with a limited selection of lemons, Qi Yuan discovered a mountain of lemons.

He picked up a lemon and sniffed it; the refreshing lemon scent was quite pleasant.

People from the North Island have a habit of slicing a lemon and sprinkling the juice on their food for flavor.

Therefore, lemons are also a common ingredient in the North.

Qi Yuan bought all the lemons in the shop before finally going home satisfied.

They went for a walk, which took more than three hours, and by the time they returned to Davis's house, it was already dark.

After escorting Qi Yuan back to the main building, Kyle took the bill and went to the side building to find Noah.

Noah is anxiously awaiting news.

After leaving Qiyuan, he sent bodyguards to follow him and report back to him every hour.

Qi Yuan didn't like him after all, and he was quite afraid that if he let the person out, he wouldn't be able to find him.

This worry prevented him from concentrating on his work.

It was already dark.

It was almost time for the bodyguards to report.

He tapped his right index finger lightly on the table, waiting.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

He spoke almost immediately: "Come in."

"Master, we're back," Kyle said respectfully as he entered.

When Noah saw him, his worried expression vanished instantly, and he regained his previous composure. "What were you doing out there? Why did it take you so long?"

“You didn’t lose him, you brought him back safely. Take a look at this.”

Kyle placed the bill for the things Qi Yuan had bought outside in front of Noah.

Noah looked at the bill, his thick eyebrows immediately furrowing. He carefully examined the words on it; he recognized each word, but when put together, he couldn't understand a single one.

"What is this clay pot? Also, why did you buy so much charcoal? We have gas at home, so we don't need charcoal for heating."

Charcoal is one of the ways people in the North Continent keep warm.

However, it is not cheaper than gas, and you have to keep the windows open when using charcoal for heating, otherwise you will be poisoned and die.

In the dead of winter, with strong winds and heavy snow, the warmth from the charcoal fire is not enough to withstand the wind and snow when the window is open.

Unless they really can't afford the gas bill, not many people are willing to use charcoal.

Qi Yuan bought quite a lot of charcoal.

Kyle told Noah about what happened at the restaurant that day, and then added his opinion, "That fat guy dared to talk like that, he must have Sera backing him up. Sera is really petty, trying to use the restaurant to pay off debts, and then resorting to these tricks. But, I'm also puzzled by what Mr. Qi Yuan bought today. I can't figure out what kind of dishes he's going to make for the restaurant. And, he said he'd reopen the restaurant in three days, I have a feeling he might go out again tomorrow."

"Are you going out again?"

Kyle said a lot, but Noah only heard the last sentence.

"The restaurant needs to be renovated, and many layouts need to be changed. Mr. Qi Yuan didn't tell us what he wanted to do. So, the restaurant can't be renovated without him going to the site in person?" Kyle asked.

Noah frowned. "Is opening a restaurant really that complicated? I remember that opening a restaurant only requires hiring two chefs, three waiters, and two general helpers, and setting up tables and chairs in the shop. Is it really as complicated as A-Yuan makes it out to be?"
