After thinking it over, Zhao Qinshi thought, "Our two boys, Baoqing and Baohuai, are one calm and steady and the other clever."
Why don't we just let them be together?
Baoqing and Baohuai are the two grandsons of Zhao Jinfa's second wife. One is 21 and the other is 19.
Baoqing is already a father of two, and Baohuai is expecting a baby girl. His wife was recently diagnosed with pregnancy.
Zhao Jinfeng thought about it for a moment,
"Okay, then I'll do as you say."
He politely declined, saying that the price would be based on the prices at the rice shops in town, but the quality would be guaranteed.
Make sure to tell the two boys that when they collect the beans, they must empty them out to check.
We shouldn't cheat others, nor should we let others cheat us.
Zhao Qinshi nodded in agreement.
The two young men, still eating their fill in the field, sneezed several times in a row. "Who misses me?" "Who's cursing me?"
Different personalities lead to different questions, but little did they know that their grandparents' decision today would set them on different paths in the future.
Two days later, the shops in town were gradually stocked with goods, and they chose to open on September 20th.
On the opening day, the village elders, Zhao Jinfeng, and several close relatives were invited.
Huang's brothers and in-laws of her sons and grandsons were also notified.
Tens of thousands of firecrackers exploded, creating a deafening roar. Neighbors nearby heard the noise and came running over to see what was happening.
To create a festive atmosphere, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was a must for the opening of the new store, and Zhao Qingyan specially found a red silk ribbon in the room.
When Huang heard that she was to cut the red silk with scissors, she was heartbroken and, for the first time ever, flicked Zhao Qingyan on the forehead.
"You spendthrift child, this is such a fine thing. Do you know how many taels of silver a bolt of red silk like this would sell for in a silk shop?"
You've just messed things up like that. You'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible.
"A 10,000-shot firecracker is fine, why bother with all those new tricks?"
Zhao Qingyan knew that Madam Huang would be reluctant to part with it.
"Grandma, look at these flowers and this silk."
When my eldest and second sisters-in-law made it, they had already determined the size, so you and my grandfather can just cut it without worry.
This silk can still be used to make clothes. Not a single bit will be wasted. You can ask my sister-in-law if you don't believe me.”
Liu Xiaohua quickly nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Grandma, you can just cut it according to the marks we drew, and there won't be any waste."
My third sister said she'll save the bouquet in the middle to make undergarments for my eldest son and my youngest daughter.
Huang stared intently at Liu Xiaohua, determined to see if she was lying in her eyes.
In addition to Zhao Qianci and Huang Shi, Zhao Jinfeng, his second great-uncle, and his third great-uncle were also invited to the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Zhao family's home.
Of course, they didn't forget Manager Han from Ruyi Restaurant. It just so happened that all six of them cut the ribbon together, a lucky number.
The host of the new store opening was Zhao Yonggeng, and the outline of the speech was provided by Zhao Qingyan.
Zhao Yonggeng is truly talented; through his own language processing, he managed to make a speech incredibly engaging and entertaining.
After the firecrackers went off, the signboard was unveiled. The food stall's name was simple and straightforward: Zhao's Snack Shop.
Next came the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Among the group of elderly people cutting the ribbon, apart from Manager Han of Ruyi Restaurant, the youngest was Ms. Huang, who was in her late fifties.
Even for Manager Han, who had seen many grand occasions, this was the first time he had ever seen such an interesting opening ceremony.
The small pair of scissors I was holding now felt like more than just ordinary scissors; they were like golden scissors capable of reaping wealth.
At Zhao Yonggeng's prompting, everyone worked together to cut the red silk ribbon with five bouquets into six pieces.
As soon as the bouquets hit the ground, Zhao Qingyang, Qingbei, and the other children picked them up with baskets.
Just kidding, Grandma said it was the finest silk.
In the silk shop, a bolt of silk can sell for at least twenty taels.
The onlookers were also astonished by the Zhao family's extravagant spending; it was truly wasteful, willing to cut such expensive materials.
Take a closer look at the decor of Zhao's Snack Shop.
You wouldn't believe it until you saw it. What was that on the window? It was incredibly rare and precious glass, and it was transparent.
No wonder it looks so pleasing to the eye and comfortable.
The restaurant floor was paved with bluestone slabs and was kept exceptionally clean.
Some people even brought their children to join in the fun, and as soon as they entered the restaurant lobby, the little ones would tumble down and sit on the floor.
Then he would roll over, and before his parents could scold him, he would immediately stand up.
"Hehe, the ground isn't dirty at all, you can roll around in it and your clothes will stay clean."
"Mom (Dad), how about we get a floor like this in our house too?"
Many young children or teenagers say similar things.
"Oh my god, this snack shop is set up so nicely, the food must be so expensive."
Even the two most expensive restaurants in our town didn't dare to use glass windows..."
These words were overheard by Manager Han, who was walking at the back, and he felt very upset.
Considering that their Ruyilou Restaurant is considered a well-established and prestigious restaurant in town, it was somehow outdone by this small eatery.
Now, his view of the Zhao family has changed significantly. He now sees the Zhao family as someone not to be underestimated.
After all, the people in Wenren Lane are generally well-off, so they don't tend to be too stingy with money.
Especially when Zhao Yonggeng quoted the price and announced "half price for dine-in today," many people expressed their desire to try it.
Although the width of the east wing was increased during the renovation, and an extra space was added for a large door.
The food stall is only about 60 square meters in size.
The room was surrounded by long tables and high stools, which felt quite novel to sit on.
In the middle are more than ten small tables, each about a meter long and half a meter wide, paired with long benches.
This type is basically prepared for a family of several people to come and dine together.
For the people of Shenlong Kingdom who are accustomed to using round tables.
The layout and decoration of Zhao's Snack Shop are truly bold.
The walls are covered with green plants, mainly pothos and spider plants.
It added a lot of vitality to this small food stall.
"Wow, this bun is so delicious! Why is the dough so soft and fluffy, not hard at all?"
"The filling in this dumpling is so delicious, and it's so juicy!"
"These noodles are so chewy and don't hurt your throat at all. There's not a single grain in them. I think they're even better than the best noodles sold in the grain and oil shops."
"What is this? Why is it called tofu pudding? It's so smooth and tender..."
Everyone who has tasted the food at Zhao's Snack Shop has praised it highly.
After all, the Divine Dragon Kingdom is indeed quite lacking in staple foods. It hasn't fully grasped the essence of a nation of food lovers.
The pork, in particular, was almost all uncastrated, and it had an incredibly gamey taste.
To make the fillings in dumplings and buns delicious.
Zhao Jiajun used only lean meat and added a lot of spices to mask the flavor.
