Zhou Jie couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Those people are still thinking about how to get into the palace, but unfortunately they didn't expect that everything was within your calculations."
Who has the most food in this society right now? Of course it's Han Luoxue. No matter how much they can raise, Han Luoxue's side can always firmly hold the upper hand.
However, not many people knew about this, and Zhou Jie was one of them!
"That's right! Aren't all those people rich? I don't think there's anything wrong with everyone helping to replenish the national treasury!"
Han Luoxue remained calm. Who told those people to look down on her? Did they really think she was just a pitiful little thing with no one to care for her?
Feeling helpless and alone? Underestimating your opponent is a major taboo in life!
"I'm suddenly curious to see how they react in the end!" Zhou Jie said eagerly. Han Luoxue smiled and said, "But don't show it. Tomorrow I'll have them haul a few cartloads of grain over!"
She is the current empress; she can't just stand by and watch others make a fool of themselves while everyone else is working hard.
"I'll have to trouble your convoy these next few days; hauling grain back and forth must be exhausting!"
Although the grain store has reopened, there aren't many trucks available to haul grain. For now, they'll have to rely on the Zhou family's trucks.
"No problem, my family is just sitting around doing nothing anyway! Besides, we're all family!"
Zhou Jie wasn't bothered; she was increasingly eager to know the final result. However, there was no rush; the final statistics period had been changed to one month, which meant a long wait!
"Didn't you want to open a restaurant? Do you have a suitable location? If so, we can go and take a look!"
Hearing that they were going to open a restaurant, Zhou Jie became even more excited. She stepped forward, grabbed Han Luoxue's hand, and shook it vigorously: "Oh, Xue'er, you finally remembered me! What kind of restaurant should we open? Barbecue or hot pot, I like them both!"
Looking at Zhou Jie's excited face, Han Luoxue smiled helplessly, thinking of the hot pot in her space, "Let's make hot pot! That's simpler, and not many people use it! But I don't have many of those yin-yang hot pots or regular ones, so we'll have to find some skilled craftsmen to help us make more!"
"Sister Zhou, don't underestimate this hot pot business! If the first store is successful, we can open branches and let them franchise. If we open them all, it will be an extremely profitable business!"
In modern times, those franchise stores make so much money, with so many people working for them for free. Han Luoxue must be laughing to death in her dreams.
"Well... I believe you!"
Zhou Jie believed in Han Luoxue unconditionally.
"Where is the shop located? If it's convenient, I'd like to come and take a look. If we're going to open a hot pot restaurant, the interior will need to be renovated, including buying some tables and chairs. It would be best if these were custom-made, reflecting our own unique style!"
This was the first time Zhou Jie had heard this claim, but she trusted Han Luoxue and immediately pulled her outside.
The Zhou family owns many shops, most of which are now open for business. Han Luoxue chose a two-story building with a lobby on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor, so that she could cater to the needs of different people.
The rooms vary in size, so you can choose different rooms depending on the number of people.
The hall was also partitioned, providing some privacy between the different tables.
With those hot pot restaurants in her online space, she can open for business sooner rather than later. As for the others, we'll just have to wait.
After all, it would take the Zhou family some time to find someone to make it.
The two of them had been busy for most of the day, and in the afternoon, they ran into two acquaintances.
"Sister Du, Sister Zhen, why did you two come together?"
Han Luoxue was somewhat surprised to see the two of them walking together.
Considering the close cooperation between the two families and the good relationship between the two individuals, the conversation turned to the past.
"Oh dear, Xue girl, how dare you say that? Look how long you've been back, and you haven't even come to see us!"
Sister Zhen rolled her eyes at Han Luoxue, who awkwardly touched her nose: "I'm sorry, Sister Zhen, I've been too busy lately. Since returning to Beijing, I've been so busy with this and that that I haven't had a moment to spare. I haven't had time to come and visit you!"
Han Luoxue didn't tell them her identity, probably because even if she did, they might not believe her.
"Little Xue'er, are you planning to open a shop here? What kind of shop are you going to open?"
"Our resort is almost ready, and the trial operation you mentioned has started. It's going well, and many people are booking rooms!"
This was the first time Du Linlang had heard of this kind of marketing tactic, and most importantly, the results were amazing.
"That's fine anytime! Just have someone keep track of the time!"
"My sister Zhou and I are planning to open a hot pot restaurant here. We'll invite you guys to come and eat when it's ready."
Han Luoxue extended an invitation with a smile, and Du Linlang's eyes lit up. The food Han Luoxue made was the best she had ever eaten.
"I can't wait!"
Sister Zhen is the same.
"Little Xue, there's something I want to tell you. Your mother isn't in a good mood today!"
Hearing that Yunniang was in a bad mood, Han Luoxue's heart skipped a beat. Today was Yunniang's first time in the capital since returning home, so why was she in a bad mood? Could it be because of the Chi family?
In the capital, only the affairs of the Chi family could affect Yunniang's mood.
"What happened, Sister Zhen?" Zhou Jie asked hurriedly.
"Sigh, it's my fault for being so talkative. When I saw Yunniang, I couldn't help but tell her about the Chi family's situation. You don't know, but now Old Master Chi and Old Madam Chi are both in a pretty bad situation!"
A hint of reluctance flashed in Sister Zhen's eyes. She didn't particularly like Chi Ling'er, but the two old people were indeed very close. When Old Madam Chi was in charge, their two shops had a pretty good relationship.
Later, when Old Madam Chi stopped managing affairs, Chi Ling'er took over. Whenever they met, Ling'er would always be sarcastic and cynical, which caused their relationship to become increasingly antagonistic.
"It's all my fault. Actually, I just wanted to tell her, since those two people are her biological parents. If they didn't know, it would be fine, but if they knew and I didn't say anything, I was afraid that Yunniang would be heartbroken if something happened to them!"
After saying that, Sister Zhen regretted it a little, and sure enough, Yunniang's expression immediately changed.
What exactly happened to the Chi family?
After Han Luoxue returned, she didn't care about what was going on there; she had no interest in it. However, she also knew that Sister Zhen didn't mean any harm, and if it were her, she would have subtly reminded her.
After all, there's a saying that goes, "The child wishes to care for his parents, but they are no longer there." This is a hurdle that many people find difficult to overcome in their lifetime.
Regardless of what the two elderly people have done in the past, or whether they have ever been confused, it is only right to tell Yunniang at this time.
Sister Zhen felt a little relieved when she saw that Han Luoxue wasn't angry. She was worried that her good intentions might backfire.
When Han Luoxue asked, she recounted the recent events involving the Chi family, leaving both Han Luoxue and Zhou Jie speechless.
"These people from the Chi family are all quite capable!"
