Su Muyao kept having a strange dream where she died in modern times and then, with her memories intact, was reborn in ancient times. After a smooth birth, she was abandoned by her parents who favor...
The second branch of the Li family grumbled all the way back to their own residence.
Not long after I entered, someone came to collect the house.
"What are you doing?"
"Second Master, please don't be mistaken. This house is rented."
Now that they've made it clear, they won't be giving us any more money in the future.
We will naturally take it back, if you refuse.
"Then let's just pay for and buy this house."
When Madam Li heard this, she was completely distraught.
"Don't push your luck. Since it's a rental, we'll continue renting it."
"How can you just take back whatever amount of money you owe each year?"
The man who had come with his men to collect the house couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"Why is it so cheap? It's because of Lord Li."
Otherwise, where would you rent such a nice mansion?
Enough with the nonsense. I'm giving you one hour to pack up; otherwise, you're out of luck.
Knowing that the matter was already settled and there was nothing that could be done, Madam Li Er hurriedly ordered her maids and servants to clean up.
In a great hurry, they finally hauled a large horse-drawn cart and four oxcarts full of goods, and headed in a grand procession towards their new home.
The family was busy until evening.
They finally settled down, but the whole family became anxious as they saw that their income was no longer enough to cover their expenses.
"Master, we don't have much money left."
"I think we should just sell all these servants off."
"Okay, we'll do it your way."
Also, have Ming'er come back from the academy tomorrow, and we'll buy a shop and start a small business then.
Upon hearing this, Madam Li nodded repeatedly: "Good, good. Look at how thriving the shops opened by that little princess are."
Basically, every shop that opens is packed with customers, and I heard that they can make thousands of taels of silver a day.
We're not saying we can earn that much, but even a few dozen taels a day would be pretty good.
The man in front of him nodded after hearing his wife's words.
He was well aware of how popular the young princess's shop was in the capital.
I heard that some kind of buffet restaurant is going to open soon, and I heard it's going to have all sorts of delicacies, fruits, and pastries.
Most importantly, the prices on the brochure were extremely expensive.
Thinking of this, I might as well follow the example of the little princess.
Although the idea came from the young princess, it's perfectly normal for people to imitate it, right?
The young princess sells for 10 taels of silver per person, so I'll sell for 5 taels of silver.
Since the young princess lives in the west of the city, I might as well open my shop in the east.
Although the location in the east of the city is certainly not as good as the location chosen by the young princess, she is still short of money.
But my price is lower, so it should be better than that of the young princess, right?
With that in mind, I decided to start the event in the next couple of days. After all, the promotional leaflets for the Little Princess have already been distributed, so it's only a matter of a few days.
Thinking that he hadn't slept well all night, he asked the servants in his household to serve him writing materials.
I started writing and drawing, and found all the plans, purchase lists, and shops.
At this moment, Madam Li Er came to the study and, seeing how ambitious her husband was, couldn't help but feel happy.
She hadn't suffered much since marrying him, as the first wife had always been there to support her.
Even if the first wife doesn't care anymore, look at her husband, he's quite capable.
Su Muyao was fast asleep at this time, completely unaware that her buffet restaurant had not yet officially opened.
There were already people imitating them.
The next morning, Su Muyao washed up, ate a quick breakfast, and headed to the newly opened shop.
As soon as I arrived at the store, Xiaochun came to greet me.
"May the young princess be blessed with good fortune and peace."
Upon hearing Xiaochun's words, the manager and the others immediately stopped what they were doing and came to greet Su Muyao.
"They're all in their own shops, there's no need for them to come and visit again."
By the way, how are your preparations going? Are you able to open tomorrow?
The manager quickly stepped forward, took the accounting book, and began to explain.
"Princess, we should be able to prepare everything by tonight and open for business first thing tomorrow morning."
However, this old servant suspects that the little princess's soda might not be enough.
After all, this is a rare find, and it tastes so good.
The old butler genuinely felt that these things were not enough.
A small bottle fell and broke, and we quickly used a bowl to catch the spilled water.
So everyone took a bite.
It just so happened that his own wife came looking for him that day.
She even brought her grandson over, thinking that her grandson would definitely like this, so she let her grandson try it.
To my surprise, my grandson cried and screamed after tasting it, and insisted on drinking more.
I knew I couldn't just take things without permission.
After finally managing to calm her grandson down, she had his grandmother take him home.
But these past two days he's been crying and fussing all day, saying he wants to drink that black water (┯_┯)
It's making me so stressed that I'm the only one who's ever been through this.
In the end, we decided to cook for our family when the business opened, and spend some money to have them come over for a meal.
Although the price is really too high, I have saved a lot of money by following the little princess in the past year.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the little princess, how could he have saved so much?
Now that we have money, we naturally can't let our children suffer.
I gritted my teeth and made a decision: I'll have the whole family come and support me when the store opens.
Su Muyao nodded as she listened to the housekeeper's report.
I have the most soft drinks in my own space, that's why I don't put many in there.
The main reason is that drinking too much of this carbonated drink makes people feel full, so it's better to let them eat more vegetables.
If a modern buffet owner heard this, he would definitely mutter that Su Muyao was an idiot.
Su Muyao felt that people who could afford to spend this much money to eat out were basically very important figures.
Therefore, seafood is the most abundant item in buffets, with lobster, abalone, and salmon being just the basics.
Like the Ottoman crab, the bread crab, the king crab...
And various expensive fruits, such as cherries, lychees, wax apples, custard apples, mangoes, honeydew melons, strawberries, durians, etc., which were not available in this dynasty…
There are also all kinds of snacks, desserts, alcoholic beverages, and soft drinks...
In the hot food section, two chefs specialize in grilling small skewers, and another chef specializes in grilling lamb chops.
A total of 16 waiters, 3 dishwashers, and 7 chefs were hired.
These chefs mainly arrange various dishes on plates and prepare some cooked food.
For example, old hen soup, braised soft-shelled turtle, big plate chicken, steamed crab, squirrel-shaped mandarin fish...
Of course, there are also various seasonal vegetables and side dishes.
Everything was one of Su Muyao's favorite dishes, and the recipes were all from books, so the chefs could research them themselves.
Fortunately, some chefs are truly skilled and can basically apply what they've learned to create new dishes.
It tastes even better than the ones made according to the standard recipe.
