"To be Sister Yuyu's maid?"
Yang Niannian was a clever girl, and she immediately guessed Xiao Yu's meaning.
However, upon thinking about the relationship between Xiao Yu and Shen Youyu, an indescribable emotion flashed in the girl's dark eyes.
It seemed like she was happy for Xiao Yu, but there was also envy and disappointment in her expression; it was a very complex emotion.
"Well, if you'd like."
Xiao Yu, oblivious to the girl's odd behavior, continued, "That way you won't have to work all the time. Youyu has a very good temperament... Besides, I remember you've always wanted to learn to write, so you can have Youyu teach you."
"I do, thank you, Brother Xiao Yu."
The girl nodded obediently, a happy smile appearing on her face.
Her smile is so sunny and cheerful.
They did not complain or blame others because of the hardships of life and some bad experiences.
Why are you being so polite with me?
Xiao Yu affectionately ruffled the girl's hair and said with a smile, "Why didn't my mother give me a younger sister? Sometimes, I really envy Da Sha for having such a good younger sister."
"I...I'm also Brother Xiao Yu's sister."
Yang Niannian's words seemed to be meant to comfort Xiao Yu, but for some reason, Xiao Yu could detect a hint of disappointment in them.
Turning my head, I saw that the girl's eyes were slightly narrowed, and she was smiling like a crescent moon, seemingly without any other meaning.
Just then, a commotion broke out outside the door.
"Go and see what's going on?"
Xiao Yu spoke to a guard not far away.
"yes."
The guard ran out quickly, and came out again a moment later.
"Reporting to Prince Xiao, they are some restaurant and stall owners who have come to buy chicken essence and MSG."
The soldier explained the situation, saying, "These are all small restaurants owned by the owners, and some are even breakfast stalls. Their mothers complained that customers are now eating at restaurants, which has caused their business to decline. They want Your Highness to sell them some chicken essence and MSG."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu frowned.
He didn't expect that chicken essence and MSG would be accepted by the public so quickly.
In order to sell at a higher price, he had promised those big restaurant owners that he would only sell to them for the first month, essentially a buyout by a few companies.
"Are there many people outside?" After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Yu asked.
“There are more than a dozen people… some are couples, some are owners and employees, actually there are only seven or eight shops,” the soldier replied.
"That's easy."
Xiao Yu said indifferently, "Go tell them that chicken essence and MSG are ten taels of silver a can. If they have the money, they can buy it. If they don't have the money, they can wait a month. After a month, I will lower the price to two taels of silver a can."
"Let them decide for themselves whether to buy now or wait a month!"
"yes."
The guards ran out again.
A dozen minutes later, the guards returned and told Xiao Yu that those people had already left.
"As expected."
Xiao Yu nodded and said.
These small restaurants don't cost much for a meal, especially breakfast shops, where a meal costs only a few coins.
They came here to cause trouble simply because they didn't know the prices of chicken essence and MSG and wanted to buy some to improve their business.
As for their competitors, they are not restaurants like Jade Liquid Pavilion, but small eateries or breakfast shops of similar size.
The girl looked at Xiao Yu with admiration and said, "The fact that they want to buy chicken essence and MSG means that Brother Xiao Yu's inventions are beginning to be recognized by the people."
"Um."
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "The demand will only increase in the future. Let's go, come with me out for a walk, let's rent a shop!"
If we want to sell chicken essence and MSG to the public in the future, we will need a shop. We can't just use Xiao Wang Mansion as a shop for trading things, can we?
"Should I go with Brother Xiao Yu?"
Yang Niannian said with some surprise, wondering if she had misheard.
"certainly."
Xiao Yu nodded and explained, "I'm just a foolish son of a landlord, I have no idea how much the rent is for a shop. I doubt Youyu knows either, so you'd better come with me!"
Most importantly, given Shen Youyu's looks, demeanor, and attire, the landlord might take advantage of her to rip her off.
"But... I don't know either!"
Yang Niannian said that this would put a lot of pressure on her.
"Just help me compare prices from three different vendors."
After saying that, Xiao Yu went back to his room to change into ordinary clothes, and then said, "Let's go."
"oh!"
Yang Niannian quickly followed.
The capital of the Great Xia Dynasty was very prosperous, with several bustling areas in each district and countless shops.
"Brother Xiao Yu, what kind of shop do you want to rent?"
Yang Niannian followed behind Xiao Yu, a happy smile on her pretty face, clearly enjoying shopping with Xiao Yu.
"The area doesn't need to be too big or too small... It just needs to be clean and tidy, and the location doesn't matter much," Xiao Yu explained.
If you only buy chicken bouillon and MSG, such a simple product doesn't really require a large space.
In addition, these two types of goods do not compete with others. Once they run out, they will come and buy them, so there is no need to rent a very busy location.
"I see."
Yang Niannian nodded her little head, her big, bright eyes looking around as she helped Xiao Yu find a suitable shop.
As the two were walking and talking on the street, Xiao Yu suddenly noticed that several people were staring at Yang Niannian with ill intent.
