Xu Linyue, who transmigrated from the 21st century, crossed over with a heaven-defying spatial ability, possessing the body of a five-year-old farm girl. She originally thought of just accepting he...
Su Chenyu said, "No problem, don't worry, leave it to me."
After leaving the kitchen, everyone came to the backyard. The yard was not small, with a study and several bedrooms. All the furniture was complete, and Qibao had not been replaced. When the time came, they would put down a new quilt and it would be habitable.
Mrs. Li sighed, "This yard is really big, and there are so many rooms. It will be nice to have a place for my family to stay when they come over."
Wang had been grinning since she entered the restaurant. She was happy from the bottom of her heart that her Xu family had finally made it and had an industry in the town. She said happily, "This is all thanks to Qibao. Let's work together in the future, and the Xu family will get better and better!" The sisters-in-law all nodded.
Qibao saw that everything was almost planned, and all that was left was to take action. Leaving the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to watch, Qibao went to the blacksmith shop with Su Chenyu and Jingchen. Grandpa Xu also went with his son, as he felt a little uneasy about letting the children go.
Arriving at the door of the largest iron shop in town, the sound of hammering iron could be heard from inside. The shop assistant wiped his sweat with a white towel draped over his shoulder and greeted with a smile, "What do you want to buy?"
After saying that, he led the group into the shop, and suddenly a wave of heat hit them in the face. The door of the iron shop was open and connected to the yard. There were several shirtless men inside who were banging red-hot iron blocks with a loud bang. There were also several large stoves. No wonder the guy in the shop in front was sweating all over his forehead.
Su Chenyu said, "We are here to order something, and we need it urgently. I wonder if you can finish it in two days. I can pay you more!"
The guy asked, "How much do you need?"
Su Chenyu said, "About seventy or eighty!" The extra ones were kept for backup.
The guy thought for a moment and said, "If the things you need are complicated to make, two days probably won't be enough, right?"
Qibao continued, "Brother, this is not complicated at all. It's just a piece of iron plate. Just make it the right size!"
The guy said, "That's easy. I'll ask a few more people to work overtime, and I think we can finish it in two days! But the price is not cheap."
Qibao knew that ironware was very important in ancient times. Generally, if farm tools or other tools were made of iron blocks, as long as they had legitimate uses, there was nothing wrong with it. However, if someone privately made weapons or something like that, more than fifty pieces would be considered conspiracy to rebel, and the consequences would be very serious.
Qibao described what needed to be done to the clerk. The clerk didn't think it was complicated and said with a smile, "You need to pay the deposit first, and the rest will be paid after everything is done. Where do you want it sent? We can deliver to your door for large quantities."
Qibao said, "Just send it to Yipinxian!"
When the waiter heard the name of Yipinxian, he asked in surprise, "Didn't Yipinxian get taken over by the government?"
Qibao said, "Yes, but we also spent money to buy the restaurant from the county magistrate, and plan to open our own restaurant."
The guy said, "I see. Then I'll call a few more people to help you get the things you need overtime."
Qibao said, "Thank you very much, mate." After paying the deposit and taking the spring handed to him by the clerk, everyone left the iron shop.
Qibao said, "The baking tray has been decided. What remains is the table and the decoration of the store."
Su Chenyu said, "Qibao, I have asked my secret guards to take care of these things. I guess the decorators have already arrived at the restaurant.
The group hurried back to the restaurant without stopping. As expected, there was a row of workers in uniform standing at the door, tools in hand. Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also at the door. Seeing Qibao and the others finally returned, they hurried forward and asked, "Qibao, were these people sent by Master Su?"
Su Chenyu said, "Grandma Wang, these are the renovation workers I asked my men to find. They are among the best at decorating houses. I believe they will not disappoint you."
Wang said, "Chenyu, of course I trust the people you found. The remaining tables and chairs have just been moved away, and the place is empty. Just tell these people to start working." Su Chenyu gave a wink, and the secret guards beside him quickly led the decoration workers into the store.
Qibao suggested painting the walls first, then re-laying the floor. As for the private rooms, she planned to decorate each one in a different style. Didn't the ancients prefer elegant things? So, she decided to decorate in the style of plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum. She planned to paint all the paintings on the walls herself.
Qibao first asked those people to paint the entire box. The walls needed to be painted several times so that the color would look even. The Xu family also began to help hand tools to the workers. A lot of white lime dripped onto the ground, but Qibao didn't care. Anyway, the floors had to be removed and new ones installed.
They were busy until the evening, when Uncle Xu took his brothers to the barbecue restaurant. The brothers all knew that such a big restaurant would be theirs in the future, so they happily ran from the front yard to the back yard to tour the restaurant, chattering non-stop.
Xu Wenwu was the more steady one. He clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Master Su and Master Jing. I've heard from my father that you bought the restaurant and gave it to my sister. Wenwu would like to thank you both."
Su Chenyu said, "Brother Wenwu, why are you being so polite? Our two families are already in a cooperative relationship. Besides, I still have a three-point profit in this restaurant. This money was paid by my cousin, but I will earn it back sooner or later."
Qibao said, "Brother, stop thanking me. I will never let Master Su and Master Jing suffer any loss in the future. Will you guys go back to Xu Village later?"
Mr. Xu said, "Qibao, do you mean you won't go back?"
Qibao said, "Grandma and Grandma, I won't go back tonight. I'm going to stay here and take advantage of the next two days to finish decorating our barbecue restaurant so we can open it earlier and make some money."
Lin said, "Then let me stay with you. I'm worried about leaving you here alone."
Wang said, "That's fine, let me and Hongmei stay here, and the children stay here too. There are plenty of rooms here, enough for sleeping, and it's closer to school tomorrow. Everyone else can go back, so that the second and third children won't be worried at home."
Mr. Xu said, "Okay, then the boss and I will go back. We'll have to trouble Mr. Su to send a carriage to take us back."
Su Chenyu said, "This is a small matter. I will ask the secret guard to take you back." After thanking him, Mr. Xu took Uncle Xu and others on the carriage and drove towards the Xu family.
Wang watched the carriage go away, then turned around and said, "Honglian, let's go buy some quilts and some food. We can't let the children go hungry."
Su Chenyu said, "Grandma Wang, Aunt Lin, I'll invite everyone to have dinner at Zuixianlou. It's not far from here."
Xiao Wu said, "Grandma, let's listen to Brother Su and go to Zuixianlou to eat. We have never been to a big restaurant to eat." "Yes, Grandma, let's go." Then I saw several brothers pestering grandma to agree to them.
Wang said helplessly, "I haven't asked yet, nor have I said I won't go. Look at you two, Master Jing is about the same age as you, but can't you learn to be polite and sensible? Why don't you thank Master Su?"
When Jingchen heard Wang praising him, his expressionless face turned slightly red. He glanced at Qibao secretly, then quickly looked away, pretending to be indifferent and still as aloof as ever.
