"Selling dumplings?" Mrs. Ye had never thought about this question.
Aren’t dumplings something we make at home?
"The dumplings you sent over today were not only delicious to He Xuan and I, but also to the Princess, Lord Qin, and Madam Qin.
"And isn't the person with the most authority on this matter sitting across from me right now?"
Wei Yan looked at Elder Cen and asked with a smile, "What do you think, Elder Cen?"
Elder Cen hadn't thought about this before, but when Wei Yan reminded him, he immediately said excitedly, "Yes, this is a good idea. The dumplings you made this time are really delicious, and no one has ever eaten them before, which makes them even more fresh."
"But dumplings stuffed with dandelions are only available in spring. After this season, the dandelions will become old and no longer tasty."
"Even if you're selling dumplings, you can't just sell this kind of stuffing." Speaking of this, Mr. Cen is quite knowledgeable. "But as long as you open up the market with this dumpling, people will definitely think of you first when they want to eat dumplings in the future.
"Besides, you can make other dumplings no worse than others, right?"
“Also, there doesn’t seem to be a store in Beijing that sells dumplings exclusively; they are usually sold with other foods.
"If you come and do it, you might even come out on top!"
Mrs. Ye was still worried: "It will take a lot of capital to do business in Beijing, right?
"We have saved some money now, but it's not much."
As she spoke, she looked towards Qin Hexuan and Qingtian, and lowered her voice and said, "Qingtian still needs to take medicine, and we are also thinking of buying some Ganoderma lucidum!
"If I use it to open a shop, whether it's enough or not is not the question, what if I lose money..."
"You kid, you're already saying discouraging things before you even start!" Old Cen interrupted her, "Just tell me whether you want to do it or not, and you don't need to worry about anything else.
"We have a ready-made shop at home, just let Meng Yu take people to clean it up.
"Why don't you try it for two months first?"
Mrs. Ye was already tempted by what he said, and now she was no longer as opposed to Mr. Cen's help as before, so she thought about it and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, let's give it a try."
Mr. Cen was overjoyed when he heard this, not because of the dumpling shop opening, but mainly because he found that Mrs. Ye was not so resistant to his offer of help.
What Meng Yu said was indeed true. The most important thing between people is getting along with each other.
Now that we have been together for a long time and our relationship has become closer, it is indeed different from before.
"Okay, I'll have Meng Yu prepare it right away." After saying this, Elder Cen took out his calendar and flipped through it. "Ten days from now is a good day. How about setting that day for the opening?"
"Ah? So soon?" Upon hearing the date, Mrs. Ye panicked. "Will we be able to make it in time? What do I need to prepare?"
"I'll help you watch over it, so what are you afraid of?" said Elder Cen. "You don't need to prepare anything, just go back to the village and collect more dandelions.
"Why, are you having trouble?"
“Not really, it was mainly because it was a little too sudden.
"I had originally promised Miss Zhou that I would teach her how to cook after we finish preparing the banquet!"
"Which Miss Zhou?" asked Mr. Cen.
"He helped me once during the cooking competition in the county last time."
"Oh, that girl is okay. If you want to take a disciple, you can consider it." Old Cen nodded. It was obvious that Miss Zhou helped Mrs. Ye block the attack last time, which made him have a very good impression of her.
"Grandfather, my level is still far from perfect, how can I accept an apprentice?" Mrs. Ye blushed. "I just think she helped me before, and she even came to the village to ask for my help. I was embarrassed to refuse."
"Kid, didn't you win the cooking competition last time? Why do you still have so little confidence in yourself?" Old Cen asked puzzledly.
"I was able to win last time thanks to your advice on how to make roast suckling pig. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have won on my own."
"It doesn't matter if I tell you how to make it, you still have to make it yourself in the end!" Elder Cen encouraged her, "Besides, there are always many families in the capital who ask you to prepare their banquets.
"If you don't even have confidence in yourself, how can others trust you?"
"Grandfather is right." Mrs. Ye nodded. "I will definitely work hard to open a dumpling restaurant."
“Actually, you don’t need to put too much effort into running this dumpling restaurant.
"You can hire someone to do everything from kneading the dough, chopping the stuffing, and even making the dumplings. You just need to be responsible for seasoning and mixing the stuffing.
"I have an exclusive dipping sauce recipe here. I'll give it to you later. I guarantee your business will prosper."
Mr. Cen discussed the details with Mrs. Ye again, and the matter was finalized.
Qingtian had just finished telling Qin Hexuan about everything that had happened around him recently when he heard that Mrs. Ye was going to open a store in Beijing.
She immediately asked happily, "Mom, can I go to the girls' school now?"
Mrs. Ye had only heard that there was a girls' school in the capital before, but she had no idea of the details, so she had to turn around and look at Mr. Cen for help.
Mr. Cen had some knowledge of women's education, but the people who studied there were basically young ladies from official families, and the subjects they were taught were books like "Lectures for Women", "Inner Training" and "Biographies of Women".
But most of the young ladies did not go there to study, but just to make it sound good and to add some talent to themselves.
Although with his status, he can definitely find a way to send Qingtian to study.
But if Qingtian goes there at such a young age, not only will he not learn anything, he might even be bullied.
