Chapter 162 Hot Pot Restaurant Opening

"Does it matter to you whether he becomes a general or not?" Bai Luoxue endured the pain in her abdomen and walked in front of her. "If he becomes a general, he will still play with women. If he doesn't become a general, he will be your man alone."

Zheng Rouer closed her eyes, and a sentence kept flashing through her mind.

'My Own Man'

Isn't this what you've always longed for?

"good!"

She walked out of the house and greeted the two caregivers politely, but neither of them paid any attention to her. The inferiority complex she felt from the bottom of her heart made her blush because she had never been to school.

But I understood an idiom.

To bring shame upon oneself.

It was cloudy yesterday, but it is sunny today, which adds a touch of warmth to the loneliness of autumn. The sun falls in the yard, and Jiusu is taking a nap.

I had two classes at the college in the morning.

But I'm so tired.

Fortunately, the class was only two days long and ended soon.

Zitan and Kou Shao were painting cakes. The flowers had all withered by then, so they didn't feel bad about picking them. Zitan said, "Go call the young lady. I'll go prepare lunch."

Koshao nodded.

She called the young lady and said, "I heard that Xiang Ke's parents are going crazy looking for him."

Jiusu frowned: "He didn't go home? Then where did he go?"

"He's gone from all of Suming County. No one knows where he went." Kou Shao shook her head. "They cried their hearts out. It's a pity for them to have such an unworthy son."

Jiusu pursed her lips and said, "Find out more about him. Not coming home is not a good sign. If he left and worked hard outside just for glory and face, that's fine. I'm afraid that after leaving, he still has hatred in his heart, accumulates power, and wants revenge!"

Are the parents pitiful?

Pitiful!

Xiang Ke thinks he is a good boy, but he is dark-hearted and greedy for petty gains. Sooner or later, he will make his parents sad.

Kou Shao understood the seriousness of the matter.

She agreed, "Yes, Miss, Zitan has prepared your favorite lotus root meatballs for you. Let's put these troubles aside for now."

Zi Tan is an excellent cook.

The meatballs exuded a delicate fragrance, the meat was cooked perfectly, and the long-fried meat could show off ten of them. She ordered the two of them to sit down and eat together. She said, "How are the hot pot brochures going?"

Zi Tan said, "There's still half left. We'll definitely be able to send it all out by mid-month."

After lunch, Jiusu lay in the rocking chair for a while. It was not until after two o'clock in the afternoon that she felt a little more energetic. She sighed and said that she felt really tired in autumn. She had no energy at all.

She went to Xiangfei Hotpot Restaurant.

"Is there any vacant land here? I plan to farm."

Yuan Ling thought for a moment and led Jiusu to a secluded courtyard. She pushed open the door and saw that it didn't look like a hot pot restaurant at all. "Yesterday, I visited all the hot pot restaurants and found a very strange place here..."

Jiusu looked at these things and exclaimed.

"Vegetable greenhouse?"

Oh my god! The God of Wealth really thought of everything for her.

Yuan Ling followed him in.

Jiusu didn't expect that there were vegetables grown here. She smiled and said, "That's great. We don't have to worry about that. You can arrange for someone to be on duty and look after these vegetables every day. We won't need to buy vegetables from outside in the future. As for pork, we can buy it from Zhu's family, and chicken can be purchased in the village."

This was also the first time Yuan Ling had seen this scene.

She touched the plump and delightful cabbage and said, "This is so cute! I'll ask my mother to raise more chickens so I can go home and get some when the time comes."

"Okay." Jiusu nodded.

Now that the problem of hot pot ingredients has been solved, there is no need to worry. After a while, we can prepare to open the store and even put up a wooden sign at the door.

Countdown to opening: 7 days.

Business hours: Open six days a week and close one day, Si-Xu

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. The popularity has reached an extremely high level. If the store is not opened soon, they will want to smash it up.

As the night fell, Xiangfei Hotpot Restaurant opened quietly.

Those who came had made reservations in advance.

They are all old acquaintances.

All the teachers and students of Hua Ting Academy came to eat hot pot. Dean Lan placed the silver on the table. He looked at the woman who was trying to refuse the silver with a smile on his face and said, "Here, I can still afford this little money."

After hearing this, Jiusu accepted it.

She smiled, clasped her fists, and said casually, "Thank you very much, Dean."

The store closed, and a hint of joy appeared on everyone's tired faces. Although they were just serving people meals here, they felt unprecedented respect. Jiusu and Jiang Jing were counting the accounts.

Jiusu pursed her lips: "Three hundred taels?"

Seeing the man nod, she took a breath. Today was originally a trial operation. The store was opened in the evening, and it made so much money in just one hour. You can imagine how busy tomorrow will be.

Jiusu took out fifty taels and handed it to Yuan Ling.

"I'll share some with everyone, but this is only a bonus for today, there will be no more in the future."

As Yuan Ling was dividing the money, she said, "Don't worry, boss. This day will come. It will take a year. Only by working hard can you earn money. We won't think too much."

The others nodded as well.

Jiusu's gaze fell on Yuan Ling. The woman had recovered well and her face had gained weight.

Perhaps feeling the boss's gaze, Yuan Ling looked over with gratitude in her eyes.

Jiusu tied on his cloak and said, "Tomorrow there will naturally be a lot of people, so have a good rest tonight."

Zitan offered to drive the carriage.

Jiang Jing said, "No, it's cold at night. You and Ah Su both get in the carriage. I'll drive the carriage."

"I'll do it." Zitan took the reins and said, "I'm well dressed, so I'm not cold. Miss hasn't been to the academy often recently, but I miss you so much. Every day I think of a reason to go to the academy to see you..."

She smiled secretly as she looked at the two affectionate people.

Jiusu's face was thin and blushed.

Fortunately, the darkness of the night obscured the shyness on her face, but how could a man with eyes fixed on her not feel this emotion? Jiang Jing held her hand and said to Zitan.

"Then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble." Zitan watched the two of them get on the carriage. She held the reins and swung them gently. "Go slower, Miss. She has been very tired these days. Having someone you love around can help relieve her tiredness."

In the study, she saw a sentence in a book.

What is it called, love is the best medicine to heal.

Jiusu was still in shock after hearing what the maid said. Jiang Jing raised his lips, hugged her and said, "Go to sleep. I'll call you when it's time."

Maybe I'm too tired.

I slept so hard that I didn't open my eyes until the next day.

It was just getting light, and I hadn’t overslept, because today the hot pot restaurant was officially open.

Jiusu stood up, blinked, looked at the two maids serving in front of the bed, and asked, "Where is Jiang Jing? Uh, I mean, shouldn't I be in the carriage?"

Zitan said as he folded the bedding.

"Last night, you were too tired and fell asleep. Master Jiang called you a few times, but when he saw that you didn't seem to be waking up at all, he carried you into the house and then went back to the academy." She described last night.

Jiusu pursed her lips, feeling a little lost. She hadn't seen Jiang Jing for a long time and didn't even have time to ask for a goodnight kiss.

Oh, maybe next time.

"Pack up, let's go to the hot pot restaurant to help."
