Delicious House.
This was Baochai's first inspection of her own property.
Before, everything outside was handled by the nanny.
She could only see the account book every month and had no idea what the shop under her name looked like.
Today, she took her brother, who was drowsy from reading, out.
First, I want to take a look at my own industry and then make future plans.
Then I wanted to let my brother get some fresh air.
After all, studying is indeed painful for my brother.
But, she is determined to win the Xue family.
She didn't want the two siblings to fight with each other in the future, nor did she want her brother to be inferior to her, so she could only find another way out for her brother.
Normally, since her brother is good at martial arts, she should let him learn martial arts and join the army.
In the future, the Xue family will surely be rich enough to rival a country. If my brother becomes a military general, he will surely be feared by the emperor and will not have a good ending.
Besides, the battlefield is dangerous, and for a family like theirs, there is really no need for their brother to take risks.
It would be better to take the path of a civil servant.
Even if your official position is not high, you still have your own assistance!
Besides, my brother is just lazy about studying, not that he can’t finish it!
When he was young, my brother was also very smart.
When did my brother stop liking reading?
Baochai couldn't remember.
Memories of childhood are always easier to forget.
"Sister? Sister?"
A hand waved before his eyes.
Xue Baochai came back to her senses: "Brother?"
Xue Pan looked at her:
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you want to come out? Why did you start to stare blankly as soon as you walked in? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Baochai shook her head: "No. I just thought of something."
"What's the matter?" Xue Pan asked subconsciously.
Baochai did not hide anything and spoke directly:
"I remembered that my brother also loved reading when he was young, but later he stopped liking it. I don't remember why."
Xue Pan was stunned, obviously not expecting his sister to bring up this matter.
His hand paused as he was ordering, and then he smiled nonchalantly:
"I just suddenly don't like studying anymore. What else could it be? You girls just think too much.
"Don't think about it, let's see what you want to eat first! Brother tells you, even though this delicious restaurant may be newly opened in Shangjing City, the taste is definitely this good!"
He gave a thumbs up and recommended it to his sister with shining eyes.
Knowing that he didn't want to mention it, Xue Baochai didn't ask any more questions. She looked at the menu and pointed at a few dishes.
Although she had never been to the shop, she had seen the menu there.
This was designed by her based on the advice of her nanny.
Every time the nanny came out, she would bring her a few dishes from the shop.
So, she is not greedy.
"That's all?" Xue Pan was a little surprised to see that his sister only ordered three dishes.
"Give me a few more! It's my treat! No need to save for me!"
Xue Baochai said helplessly: "Brother, there are only two of us, we can't eat so many dishes."
"What's the big deal? Just leave some leftovers if you can't finish them!" Xue Pan didn't care.
Baochai sighed softly:
"Brother, don't just focus on reading. Go out and explore more often. Not to mention other places, even on your way from Nanjing to Beijing, you must have seen many families who don't have enough to eat, right?"
"So what?"
What does it have to do with him if others can’t eat?!
"I'm not saying that you should feel the same way as me. A family like ours, with the means, can certainly enjoy it.
"But my brother is going to be an official in the future. He must understand the sufferings of the people in order to achieve success."
"What does this have to do with our meals? If we don't waste food, who will we sell the vegetables grown by the poor to?
"Besides, do you think our leftovers are really thrown away? In any reputable restaurant, leftovers are sent to the back door and covered with sand, for beggars and refugees to eat. Sister, please stop being sad."
Xue Baochai: ...
What my brother said actually made some sense, and I was speechless for a moment.
"Okay, okay, sister, don't think about those things, eat first."
Xue Pan asked the servant to order the dishes.
The food came out quickly.
After Xue Baochai finished her meal, she continued to talk to Xue Pan:
"Based on how much my brother spends on each meal, can you give me all the money you saved today?"
"What do you want the money for?"
Xue Pan asked, taking out his purse.
"Here, this is what I brought with me today. Take it first. Is it enough? If not, I'll give it to you when we get back."
Xue Baochai smiled and took it: "That's enough."
Turning to Xin Guoguo, he said, "Madam, please prepare a donation box for me. From today on, all prices of dishes at Delicious House will be reduced by 10%.
"But if there's any waste, the price of the vegetables will double! The extra money will be placed in the donation box and sent back to the Old and Young Hall."
Xin Guoguo took the purse, agreed with a smile, and turned to leave.
Xue Pan was completely dumbfounded.
It was a long time after the box door was closed again that he came to his senses:
"Sister...sister, this delicious place is yours?"
Baochai wiped the corner of her mouth, drank a sip of tea, and then looked at her brother calmly:
"Yes. Not only Delicious House, but also Beauty House, Makeup House, Jade House, Literature House, Old and Young Hall, and Book House are all mine."
Xue Pan was completely dumbfounded.
He knows every place my sister mentioned!
As a playboy, he had only been in the capital for a few days but he had already visited all the places in the capital, big and small.
Although some of the shops my sister mentioned are not as well-known as Delicious House, they are also well-known.
