Ye Panjiu smiled and said, "It's good to be able to buy this house."
After obtaining the land deed, Ye Panjiu hired five casual laborers, paying them twenty coins a day, to renovate the Wang residence into a courtyard and four side rooms.
By the time things were settled here, it was already noon.
She turned to Heng Tong and said, "You're quick. I'd appreciate it if you could go to Jinxiu Pavilion and ask them to deliver meals for the six of us three times a day from now on."
Heng Tong nodded and leaped onto the roof.
Looking at it, Ye Panjiu felt that they still needed to buy more horses, as too much time was being spent on the road.
She packed her luggage at home.
After finishing her morning practice, Ye Taohua skipped into the house. "Mom, why are you packing? Are we leaving Shuzhou to go somewhere else to play?"
Ye Panjiu raised her hand and gently stroked her nose. "Wait a little longer. Once the shop is on track, we'll leave. Right now, we're packing our bags and moving to the side. I bought the house next door."
Ye Taohua's eyes widened. "We have a home in Shuzhou now?"
Ye Panjiu nodded. "I'm asking you, are you afraid of ghosts and spirits?"
Ye Taohua turned her head away, "I'm not afraid at all! The Peach Blossom Hero will roam the world with an open and honest heart!"
Ye Panjiu burst out laughing, "Yes, Peach Blossom Hero is really amazing. Peach Blossom Hero, why don't you go pack your luggage too? You'll be staying at your new home tonight."
She didn't actually feel the need to buy a house in Shuzhou to live in; she bought the Wang family's house purely because the profit margin was huge.
It's unlucky now, but given time, it will be a house in a prime location, and it could be sold for at least ten or twenty times the current price.
Before Ye Taohua could even leave the house, Sun Shi and Ye Erniu returned.
The two people hadn't even reached them yet when their voices came through.
“I already told you, that shop you’ve got your eye on isn’t good. Look around, how many people walk by?” Mrs. Sun raised her voice and asked.
“Wife, there are fewer people, but it’s cheaper than others, and it’s bigger! The cabinets inside are all in good condition, not broken at all. Isn’t that good?” Ye Erniu replied.
Both of them had their own advantages and disadvantages, and they were both determined to persuade the other.
Ye Panjiu had packed everything except the bedding.
She walked out of the house and said, "Second sister-in-law and second brother, I've bought the house next door and sent someone to disturb us. We'll move there tonight."
Upon hearing this, Madam Sun beamed with joy, "Oh, this is wonderful! I feel so uncomfortable living in Lord Duan's mansion all the time. It's so much more comfortable at home, where I can do whatever I want!"
Ye Panjiu nodded, "That makes sense."
"Gurgle gurgle—"
Ye Erniu's stomach growled, and he awkwardly clutched his stomach. "Sister-in-law's gone. How are we supposed to eat now?"
Mrs. Sun rolled up her sleeves, put her hands on her hips, and said, "It's no big deal, I'll do it! What do you want to eat? I'll make it."
Ye Panjiu quickly lowered her sleeve, "It's alright, I've arranged for Jinxiu Pavilion to deliver meals to the six of us every day, Hengtong should be back soon."
Sun immediately lowered her hand, "They're so rich, I'd forgotten that the manager of Jinxiu Pavilion is Xiaomei."
Her cooking is mediocre; she often makes mistakes and doesn't seem to enjoy cooking like her sister-in-law does.
So if you can eat well, it's better not to cook for yourself.
A short while later, Ye Guihua and Heng Tong returned together.
Heng Tong was also carrying a large food box.
The six people remained seated at the large round table.
During the Lunar New Year, the large round table was always full, but now there are many empty seats.
Heng Tong took out the dishes and arranged them, with Ye Tao Hua helping her.
Ye Erniu picked up his chopsticks, "It's still piping hot!"
Heng Tong pointed to the food box, "There's a copper box on the side of this food box, which contains charcoal."
Ye Panjiu raised an eyebrow. "Is this your idea, or the idea of the people at Jinxiu Pavilion?"
Heng Tong shook his head, "The Golden Delight Pavilion also gives gifts to some wealthy scholars."
"That's a great idea. The food at Jinxiu Pavilion is delicious, and many people like us who are passing through Shuzhou can enjoy it," Sun exclaimed.
Ye Panjiu nodded, "This Golden Delight Pavilion has great potential. I'll go take a look this afternoon."
Now that the New Year is over, it's time to deal with the issues surrounding the Jinxiu Pavilion's account books.
After the six people had eaten and drunk their fill, the three who bought the shop went out again.
Ye Panjiu fell asleep immediately.
After Tao Hua was kidnapped last time, Duan Jingcheng paid extra attention to security in Shuzhou City and strengthened it considerably.
Ye Guihua was not afraid to go out alone.
The Ye family has only ever had conflicts with the Qian family in Shuzhou, and the Qian family is now very afraid of the Ye family.
She didn't wear the silk clothes or anything like that Sun had made for her when she went out; she just wore the most ordinary fine cloth clothes.
She understands the principle of not flaunting wealth in public.
In the morning, she learned about the prices of shops in Shuzhou from the shopkeepers near her home, and also heard a lot of information about dentists.
In the afternoon, she went directly to the most famous brokerage shop in Shuzhou.
Half an hour later, Ye Panjiu woke up.
I wonder where my parents are now, and if they are feeling unwell along the way.
She shook her head, tidied up, and walked outside.
There were five or six horse-selling shops in Shuzhou, and Ye Panjiu chose the nearest one.
She, Hengtong, Ye Taohua, and Ye Guihua all know how to ride horses.
Ye Panjiu thought of the six people in her family, so she chose three horses, so that the two of them could ride on one horse, which would be convenient.
More than seventy taels of silver were gone in the blink of an eye.
"Hengtong, I'm going to Jinxiu Pavilion. You take this horse back to the royal residence."
Heng Tong nodded, rode one horse, and led the other away.
Ye Panjiu mounted her horse and rode towards the Golden Delight Pavilion.
It was past lunchtime, and there weren't many people eating on the three floors of Jinxiu Pavilion.
Ye Panjiu rode her horse into the backyard and dismounted.
The backyard of Jinxiu Pavilion is very large, with an empty space in the middle containing several benches and a small table.
The area was surrounded by houses, and all the doors were closed.
One room was open, and people were carrying dishes out.
Many people were resting, sitting in the courtyard eating sunflower seeds and joking around.
She walked into the room.
A gaunt man stood up and reached out to stop her. "Hey, who are you, young lady? What are you doing in the kitchen? You can't come in here. If you want to eat, please sit in the front."
Ye Panjiu smiled at him, "I'm the owner, can't I go in and take a look?"
The man paused, remembering what the chef had said about the current owner of Jinxiu Pavilion being a young woman.
I never expected that the owner would come to the backyard.
He quickly lowered his hand and said, "Hello, boss. I'm sorry for my poor eyesight. Please come in quickly."
Ye Panjiu asked with a smile, "What's your name? What's your job?"
The man pointed to his maroon clothes and said, “My surname is Li, and I’m the second in my family. Those who wear the same clothes as me are all waiters who serve food and tea.”
This employer is really good-looking and seems very approachable.
Ye Panjiu nodded. "I've got it, Li Er."
After saying that, she walked into the house.
Li Er dared not rest any longer and immediately told everyone in the courtyard, which made everyone tense.
This area has three rooms connected together, with four rows of stoves in a row, and two large tables in the center, on which dozens of cutting boards are placed.
