Jiang Shuwan taught the servants how to make grilled skewers and oden over two days.

For the past two days, her courtyard has been filled with all sorts of wonderful aromas. Sun Wanwan ate until her belly was round, and the servants in the courtyard also got a couple of skewers to taste.

And the clever servants were also learning from the side.

If they learn how to make it, they can make it for Jiang Shuwan in the future.

Moreover, if Jiang Shuwan buys a shop, they can be transferred out to manage the shop.

So you've been promoted another level.

As a result, the servants all studied very hard.

Jiang Shuwan was very satisfied.

These servants were all born into the Jiang family, and their indentures were in her hands. She wasn't afraid to let them learn her skills.

Moreover, her dream is to be a lazy bum, with everything done for her.

Of course, the more capable the servants are, the better.

To motivate her servants, Jiang Shuwan rewarded them again.

The servants were immediately astonished.

These past two days, they've been indulging in delicious food and drinks with Jiang Shuwan.

I did nothing, so why am I getting a reward?

This was an old habit of Jiang Shuwan's.

She hates empty promises.

He likes to give money and benefits to his subordinates.

Working people have it so tough, and yet the bosses keep making empty promises. It makes me angry just thinking about it.

"Thank you, Miss."

"Thank you, Miss."

"Young Miss, you treat us servants too well."

The servants were so excited their eyes were brimming with tears.

The rewards they received from the young lady in such a short time were more than they had received in the Jiang family over the previous ten or twenty years.

What kind of divine master is this, young lady!

They were incredibly lucky to be with the young lady...

Jiang Shuwan's courtyard was bustling with activity, everyone was eating together, and the air was filled with delicious aromas, which attracted Pei Shushu over again.

The little girl stared at the people in the yard eating with gusto, smelling the tempting aroma in the air, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Would you like something to eat?"

Jiang Shuwan invited her to eat together.

"Hmph, I won't eat after noon, that's against it."

Pei Shushu snorted coldly and ran off again.

"Where did this arrogant brat come from?!" Jiang Shuwan laughed so hard her shoulders trembled.

In fact, Pei Shushu was only a few months younger than her, but she had lived three lifetimes, and in her eyes, Pei Shushu was just a proud little brat.

Not two days later, Pei Shushu strolled over to find her again.

At this moment, Jiang Shuwan was meeting with the steward assigned to her by Old Madam Pei in the courtyard.

Previously, Madam Pei had given her two large shops on Zhuque Street, and the shopkeepers and waiters of both shops were Madam Pei's people.

Both managers were capable people, and she didn't plan to replace them with her own people. In her heart, she secretly considered the two managers as her own people.

As long as the manager doesn't change, the two managers will have to keep working for her.

I've been working for her all along, so of course we're on the same side!

Without even leaving the house, I got two capable managers and a bunch of waiters for free. Awesome!

Jiang Shuguan was delighted and even gave Madam Pei a thumbs up.

A capable manager cannot be cultivated overnight.

She gained two capable assistants without spending a penny; Madam Pei is truly a kind person.

"Greetings, Young Madam."

The two shopkeepers greeted Jiang Shuwan from behind the screen.

Jiang Shuwan offered them seats and had Xiao Tao serve them tea. After looking at the shop's account books, she instructed the two managers to stock up on more charcoal and firewood.

“Young Madam, we have stocked up on a lot of charcoal in the shop. The weather was cold a few days ago and it snowed every day, but these past few days have been sunny and the green trees along the street are sprouting new buds. It probably won’t be cold anymore.”

Both shopkeepers frowned.

It is now late January.

A few days ago it was cold and snowed several times.

They specially bought a lot of charcoal for this purpose, but unexpectedly, the sun has been shining brightly every day for the past few days.

February will be here in less than ten days.

With the arrival of spring in February, many people feel that it will no longer be cold.

They couldn't sell their charcoal and were trying to sell it at a discount.

The young mistress actually ordered them to bring in charcoal again? Who are they going to sell it to?

And not only did they hoard charcoal, but they also hoarded firewood?

Why hoard firewood? Firewood is everywhere around the capital; farmers don't even need to pay to collect it.

Firewood was cheap; a bundle could be bought for just a few coins.

"It's okay, just listen to me. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

Jiang Shuwan didn't explain to them, she just told them to do as she was told.

The two shopkeepers were quite resentful, feeling that Jiang Shuwan was acting recklessly. They couldn't help but offer some advice, but Jiang Shuwan didn't listen, so they didn't dare to say anything more.

They were just managers, and they still had to eat under Jiang Shuwan's command.

Let the young mistress do whatever she wants for now. Once she learns her lesson, she'll realize that's not how a shop is run, and then she'll trust them.

The shop may suffer significant losses this year, but the charcoal and firewood can be kept and sold next year.

So, all things considered, the loss isn't too great.

With that in mind, the two shopkeepers returned to their shops and began to buy up charcoal on a large scale.

We collected a lot of top-grade silver frost smokeless charcoal, medium-grade charcoal, and firewood, and even rented a secluded courtyard to store them.

As I kept collecting them, I realized I had collected too many.

Because there are so many people selling, the spring trees along the street have sprouted in the sun these past few days, and many shops are selling their charcoal and firewood at rock-bottom prices.

When the shop owners heard that someone was buying charcoal and firewood, they were all surprised. Afraid of missing out on such a gullible customer, they sold piles of charcoal and firewood to him and even gave him a huge discount.

The two shopkeepers stared dumbfounded at the pile of charcoal and firewood in the yard.

That's way too much!

I'm afraid it would take two years to sell them all.

Jiang Shuwan was quite happy.
