Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Upon entering the room, one is greeted by a set of eight-immortal table and chairs, with two mahogany sofas on each side.

A single seat with a hollowed-out tea table in the center.

At first glance, it feels like entering the Hall of Righteous Gathering at Liangshan.

The two chairs directly opposite belong to the chief strategist and the strategist.

Below are the Four Heavenly Kings, and the rest of the people stand aside and listen.

Upon reaching the center of the hall, Yang Jianguo saw the dining table set up in the 'bedroom' on the left.

Tables and chairs are also placed against the wall for resting and talking, making it convenient for people to communicate privately.

On the right are various shelves and a stove.

This is?

"Please have a seat. The head chef will be here shortly, and tea will be served!"

The waiter turned and shouted outside, and a girl wearing a floral jacket and trousers, with two braids, walked gracefully in.

Chapter 526 Comfortable, a Sunrise Industry of the Future

The flowing lines are pleasing to the eye.

Tea and snacks were served from beginning to end.

Her tone of voice, smile, demeanor, and gestures when speaking to people were all so...

It's pleasing to the eye.

That's right, it just feels comfortable no matter how you look at it.

There's a reason why Tianxiazhuang's reputation has grown stronger day by day.

"Jianguo, what do you think?"

After everyone had left, Lou Xiao'e asked for his opinion while they were having tea.

“That’s right, even if you came here angry, your anger should have subsided by now.”

"When you're in a good mood, even food tastes better!"

Lou Xiao'e then turned her gaze to Yingzi: "And you, Yingzi?"

"The founding of the nation has said everything that needed to be said, so sitting here feels like a pleasure."

The girls coming and going were all pretty, with good skin and nice clothes; they were a pleasant sight to behold.

Oval face, chubby cheeks, and glowing skin.

Both plump and slender women possess their own unique charm.

The key is the smile on her face; it doesn't feel fake at all.

sincere!

This is the most comfortable place; you immediately feel a sense of familiarity with it.

Clang clang~

As the three were talking, the waiter knocked on the door and came in: "Guests, our head chef is here."

The private rooms in the backyard are all where the head chef personally cooks.

The main dishes served are the daily specials, and each day's dishes are different.

The common, popular dishes are handled by the kitchen staff, serving as a kind of gimmick to set an example.

After the waiter stepped aside, they saw the chef enter.

Everyone laughed. "Xiao Dang, you look really good in this outfit."

Xiao Dang, wearing a tall white chef's hat and a white chef's uniform, held onto the hands of his two aunts tightly.

The three women huddled together, chatting away about everyday things.

Yang Jianguo didn't find it boring at all, sipping his tea while listening to the women's everyday gossip.

His sense of involvement in his family has been decreasing day by day.

Such an opportunity, a rare chance to steal a moment of leisure from his busy life, how could he refuse?

"Master Qin, Tianya Pavilion is urging us."

The waiter's subtle reminder made Xiao Dang remember what she was there for.

"Oh dear, I was so busy talking that I forgot I came here to cook for you."

Xiao Dang straightened his hat and walked towards the small kitchen on the right.

"Xiao Dang, you should attend to the others first, there's no rush."

Yingzi stopped her and told her to go and greet the guests first.

Come over when you have some free time, then we can all sit down and eat together.

We can also chat while we're at it; I haven't seen her in a while and I really miss her.

"It's alright, I'll make two of my signature dishes first, you and Uncle Yang and Aunt Lou can try them, and I'll come over and talk to you later."

Xiao Dang nimbly went into the small stove and started a fire.

Now everyone uses gas cylinders, and very few people use firewood anymore.

They say it's pollution, emissions, this and that.

That's why trends change every few decades; in another thirty years, "firewood-cooked rice" will be a hot commodity again.

Xiao Dang has two dishes to prepare: braised shark fin and clear bird's nest soup.

Tan Family Cuisine excels at using expensive ingredients such as shark fin and bird's nest.

So, this is indeed their signature dish.

Clear broth bird's nest doesn't actually use clear broth.

Instead, it is a carefully prepared broth, simmered over low heat with whole chicken, whole duck, ham, and other ingredients.

The resulting broth is called 'clear broth'.

There's no cheap way to eat authentic Tan family cuisine.

All of these ingredients are ridiculously expensive, but it's caught the wave of popularity.

In a few years, the store will be doing better than it is now.

Xiao Dang finished cooking and went out; she still had to go to the other two private rooms to work.

After closing the door, he left two girls inside to serve him.

Lou Xiao'e suddenly said, "I want to bring Tianxiazhuang to Jiangdao."

No wonder I insisted on eating out today.

So I was waiting here!

Bringing Tianxiazhuang to Jiangdao is a cause for celebration.

Given the Lou family's current status on Jiangdao Island, they certainly don't need to worry about trouble.

But there's one question: who will be in charge of cooking?

The chefs for Tan Family Cuisine have all been booked by Tianxiazhuang and a few other old restaurants.

"Ask Zhu Zi for it!" Yingzi said with a smile. "He'd love to partner with us!"

Sha Zhu runs a restaurant not just to make money.

There's also the desire to promote and popularize "Tan Family Cuisine".

The prospect of opening a branch of Tianxiazhuang on Jiangdao Island was quite tempting for him.

Lou Xiao'e was worried about finding a cook, and Sha Zhu was also worried about not having a reliable person to manage things.

The two of them working together is a perfect match.

"Then I'll have to ask Master He later to see if he's willing to partner with me."

All of Lou Xiao'e's businesses are her private property.

She is the person in charge of the Lou Group, but ultimately, she belongs to the Lou family.

These private properties she acquired truly belonged to Lou Xiao'e from head to toe.

Whether now or in the future, it's all up to her to decide.

In addition to catering and hotels, Lou Xiao'e also plans to develop the health industry.

She had a very good experience recuperating in 'Dajia Na' country during her recent trip abroad.

High-end sanatoriums are places specifically designed for the wealthy to recuperate and socialize.

Lou Xiao'e is very optimistic about the development prospects of this alternative and healthy "high-end exchange circle".

Although there is no mature industry in this area at present, she believes this is her opportunity.

Only by cultivating the entire industrial chain on Jiangdao Island can we gain control of the market and make big money.

She had little interest in parroting others' ideas.

"Health, medical care, and maternal and child health will be among the most profitable industries in the coming decades."

"Women and children are the easiest to make money from, especially women with children."

Yingzi joked, "That's not how it works. I have a child, and I haven't spent much money."

Yang Jianguo held her hand and chuckled, "Things are different back then. Future children are precious!"

Yingzi didn't feel it deeply, but Lou Xiao'e seemed to be deep in thought.

She has traveled to many places and has seen many similar situations on Jiangdao Island and abroad.

New parents, in particular, are so cautious that it's almost laughable.

Lou Xiao'e hadn't forgotten about this before, but she felt that parents nowadays were too fussy.

But after she became a mother herself, she realized the intense desire to give her child the best of everything.

It's not being pretentious, but rather an uncontrollable impulse.

I will never allow my child to go through what I have gone through.

To give him the best of everything is an innate instinct.

In the past, when everyone was poor and lacked the ability, this natural instinct was suppressed.

But now the environment is better, and life is better too.

With the ability, one will naturally not deliberately make children suffer.

Haven't I suffered enough in my life?

"Jianguo, tell me your thoughts."

Lou Xiao'e became interested and listened to his story from the perspective of a mother.

Chapter 527 Everyday Life, Elegant Demeanor

Women's money is easy to earn, and women who have become mothers' money is even easier to earn.

Lou Xiao'e had no objection to this at all.

Because from her own perspective, she is willing to give her children the best of everything.

I believe most mothers would do the same, given the circumstances.

Therefore, she agreed with Yang Jianguo's statement.

They also showed great interest in the industries he mentioned.

Thus, what should have been a family gathering turned into a business transaction.

Fortunately, both of them were considerate of Yingzi's feelings and would occasionally ask her for her opinion as the hypothetical potential client.
