Chapter 2393 The Girls Rejuvenated
After Qi Lie left, the place suddenly felt deserted, and the temperature began to drop.
However, the weather in the southwest is actually quite comfortable at this time of year; it's just that the temperature difference between day and night is large, making it easy to get sick.
In mid-October, Lu Ji's branch in the southwest finally opened.
As the crackling of firecrackers rang out, customers, filled with curiosity, entered the shop one after another.
Shu Yu stood at the door, watching Luo Shu and two waiters greet the guests, and felt a little relieved.
On the first day of business, despite the effective promotion, the business was not as good as that of Changjin Mansion and Dong'an Mansion, which was within Shu Yu's expectations, but the profits were still good.
She gave bonuses to several people, and Luo Shu was quite composed.
Gu Xinghua and another employee were very excited; both of them now lived in the backyard of the shop.
Fourth Sister Shu Zhao took care of the children and helped with cooking in the backyard. Over the years, she had developed some culinary skills and become more frugal.
Seeing that she was working much more efficiently and could manage to cook for two other employees, Shu Yu didn't hire another cook for the kitchen. Instead, he paid Shu Zhao a separate wage.
After the shop opened, Shu Yu and the others stayed at He Tai Mansion for another half a month.
They were originally supposed to stay for a full month to check on sales and do an end-of-month summary. But it's already November, and if they stay any longer, they might not make it back home for the Chinese New Year.
After being away for more than half a year, it wasn't a good idea for the couple to spend their first year of marriage on the road.
Therefore, once Shu Yu saw that the shop was on the right track and Luo Shu was fully capable of handling things, she prepared to head home.
Before going back, she and Meng Yunzheng made another trip back to Heichang County.
She didn't go to Kang Shuxian's place, but only saw their stall from afar, and it seemed to be doing well.
The girls' expressions were no longer numb; instead, they were full of energy again, even more so than when they were in Qingxuan County.
Perhaps, they have truly found something that suits them.
However, since the stall was staffed entirely by young and beautiful girls, even though they were dressed as married women, it was inevitable that they would attract the attention and teasing of men with impure intentions.
Tao Hongdan and her accomplices had long since honed their skills in dealing with men on the black market, and they had anticipated this situation. Therefore, as long as they didn't resort to violence, they had ways to respond to whatever they wanted to say, and for now, it seemed they wouldn't suffer any losses.
With the backing of Wang Changdong from the government office and the local tyrants, no one really dared to do anything too much.
Shu Yu did not dismount from the carriage; after looking around, he headed straight for Zhengdao Village.
Zhengdao Village has returned to its former tranquility, and a few children can be seen on the road occasionally.
The carriage had come several times recently, and the village children recognized it. So as soon as they saw them, some children would run quickly towards the village, shouting, "The county princess is here! County princess Lu is here!"
When the carriage stopped in front of the manor, Steward Yu and Aunt Xu Dali both ran out.
Aunt Fang said happily, "Ayu is here? I heard your shop opened. I hope everything went well."
"It went smoothly." Shu Yu got off the carriage. "So we're planning to go back to Dong'an Prefecture. We're here today to say goodbye."
The smiles on Aunt Fang's and Xu Dali's faces froze instantly. "Ready to go back?"
"yes."
Aunt Fang was a little reluctant to part with you, but quickly added, "It's time to go back. Your family must miss you after being away for so long."
