Chapter 739 741. Thoughts
Jin Qianqian had given instructions and naturally did not forget to take care of her VIP guests.
They all lived together on this small piece of land. Even if she disliked some people, she still showed proper courtesy and invited everyone.
As soon as she reached the second floor, she heard congratulations one after another. She thanked them repeatedly with a happy face.
No matter how many conflicts there are in daily life, he always puts on a show in every situation.
Even the sour words that had been said behind their backs seemed to have never existed, and everyone greeted them with a smile.
Jin Qianqian opened the doors of all the private rooms on the second floor today and only entertained female guests.
"It's really lively today," Mrs. Wu said. She was also enlightened today. The decoration of such a restaurant was refreshing.
I wonder how the food here is? If there are a few signature dishes, then Tianfu Restaurant will soon be established in Dongcheng.
Without letting her worry too much, Jin Qianqian asked everyone to take their seats. The dishes that had been prepared in the kitchen early were served up to the second floor.
Just looking at the exquisite dishes and hearing the aroma they emit is enough to make one's mouth water.
For the sake of promotion, the waiter would give each dish a name with auspicious meaning and sometimes even tell a few jokes to make people look forward to today's dish.
When the meal started, even the most picky people could not find any faults. They just silently calculated in their hearts how much money this table would cost. They could come back to satisfy their cravings next time.
Just like that, shops such as Tianfu Restaurant and Tianfu Inn appeared in Dongcheng overnight.
As long as there is some spare money at home, I will find an opportunity to go there and experience it. The originally quiet East City is suddenly bustling with people, a prosperous scene.
When other prefectures saw this situation, they became even more excited and urged the craftsmen to work day and night so that they could open for business and welcome customers as early as possible.
At the dinner table, Liang He looked at Liang Shi several times, as if hesitating to say something.
Liangshi drank the last mouthful of soup in the bowl slowly and leisurely, and a maid came over with a handkerchief to wash his hands.
"Go ahead, say whatever you want to say. You've been seeing me for most of the day."
Liang He asked the maid beside her to take Liang Feiling away, and then she said, "Master, you have already built several shops in East City. Have you thought about their uses?"
Liang Shi, "Don't worry about these things, I will let the housekeeper arrange it properly."
"Master," Liang He personally took the hot tea from the maid and placed it in front of him, "Look, I'm so bored staying in this backyard all day. Your shop is going to be rented out to someone else anyway, so why don't you let me open a few shops?"
"Isn't this inner courtyard enough for you to mess around with?" Liang Shi was a little impatient. "Just take good care of the children in the backyard, manage the family, and be a good wife of the Governor. That's better than anything else."
"Madam Gu is also a lady of high rank. She can manage such a large business by herself. What's wrong with me finding a few shops to practice my skills?"
Liang Shi looked up at her and said, "You two are about the same age, but it's not that I look down on you, but you just don't have her courage.
I remember that there were a few shops under your dowry, but I haven't seen you make anything from it, so you still make a living by collecting rent.
After all these years, what can I achieve?"
"Master, this is a bit disrespectful," Liang He said in a feigned anger, "You also know that I was born in Jiangnan, and I know something about fabrics and spices. Now, there is still a gap like this in Dongcheng, and I want to give it a try."
"You are a woman who always makes decisions based on your own ideas," Liang Shi was about to leave, but now he sat down and explained to her, "Do you think business is so easy?
Do you know how long it takes to transport goods from Jiangnan and how much loss there is on the way?
Jiangnan is a land of the rich, but how many people in Yongchang County can afford silk, satin, rouge and perfume?
This thing changes with new styles every year. By the time you bring the fashionable things here, they are already old goods."
Who wouldn't want to earn more money? But if you know it's a bad idea and still put money into it, you'd be stupid.
Liang Heshi, "...then run a coarse cloth shop?"
"Aren't you kidding?" Liangshi was even more disappointed with his young wife. She spoke on a whim and was too naive.
"This grocery store in Yongchang County has all kinds of coarse linen. If you invest in a store like this, I might as well rent it out and earn some money."
"The restaurant opened by Gu Jinshi was the same before, but the business is not as prosperous as it is now. Moreover, the prices she sets are not low. According to reports from her subordinates, the restaurant is basically full every day.
This shows that Yongchang County is not as poor as you think, and everyone can still afford silver."
Yoshimi, “…”
"Master, please listen to me and give me a few shops to practice. If I really make a loss, you can just rent out the shops." In order to achieve her goal, Liang He really lowered herself to the ground and even acted like a spoiled child.
Liang Shi looked at her young face and finally softened his heart. "I can let you use the shop, but I won't give you the deed."
He knew that He's real purpose might not be to do some business, but to take the family fortune in his hands.
Liangshi felt that he saw this point very clearly. He had more than just this little son. If the house deed fell into He's hands, he would never be able to get it back after a long time.
Liang Heshi, "...Master still doesn't believe me. I admit that I am a little selfish and I also side with Fei Ling in small matters. But I only have this one child, and he is still so young. If I, as a mother, don't think about him, who else can think about him?"
"Nonsense, I'm his father, how can I not think about him? Don't worry, Fei Ling will be there in the future."
Liang Shishi was really impatient with this topic, so he stood up and said, "I'll have the manager give you the keys to a few shops tomorrow. If you want to play around, go ahead. If you really can't make it, I'll rent them out later."
Liang He, who stayed where he was, gritted his teeth and let out a long breath.
At the beginning, she never thought about getting the house deed.
Anyway, I won't get any money from renting out the house, so I might as well let it be my own business.
Given Governor Liangshi's status, as long as he opens a few shops, people around him will always give him some face.
No matter how much it is, it is an income, which is better than collecting rent and putting it all back home to support those people.
"Madam, can we open the shop then?" The maids and old women at the side were also very excited. They were the only ones who were close to the madam, and these errands would always be done by them.
"Yes, we can open it now." Liang Heshi was ambitious at the moment. With her Gu Jinshi making a fortune, her Heshi was not far behind.
