Laba came up and whispered something to Wen Yu.

Wen Yu replied.

He got into the car with Mrs. Qi.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Zhang Zhu and Li Yuanji met them at the gate.

After getting off the car, Madam Qi looked around the street and saw that the people living around here were decent. Their houses were low-key and neat.

Entering the yard, it is tidy. The house faces south and north, and has good light transmittance.

I couldn't help but shake my head. This is what a little girl who has never been to Beijing bought herself?! When I was her age, I was full of vigor and courage, and I was better than her.

But when it comes to ideas and doing things, he can be so decisive, meticulous, courageous and able to endure.

It's really unmatched! My back feels numb...

Wen Yu accompanied her, pointing at the yard, "Madam, come here..." and led her into the front living room.

Master Qing greeted her at the door, "Madam! Miss."

When Mrs. Qi saw Master Qing, her eyes widened.

The person in front of me looks familiar at first glance, but strange when I look closely... Why does he give me this feeling? He is elegant and graceful, neither humble nor arrogant. He carries a pride in his bones...

Her heart couldn't help but beat fast. How did this girl Ayu get such a person?

Master Qing has become accustomed to such looks and doesn't take it seriously.

Wen Yu was not too surprised, because it was her first time seeing Master Qing and she was also stunned for a moment.

"Madam, this is Master Qing, the one I invited to help run the embroidery shop."

Mrs. Qi hadn't reacted yet and was still staring at him.

In order to make her work more convenient, Master Qing wrapped her head with a flowery scarf and wore a tight jacket and skirt.

Seeing that Madam Qi was still a little stunned, she bowed again. "Madam!?"

Madam Qi forced a smile and said, "Master Qing, you are different from the tailors I have seen in the past."

"Very charming, isn't she?" Wen Yu smiled mischievously, "Madam, please come in."

When I came in, I saw...such a spacious room was actually filled up by Master Qing.

"It's just a little messy, please don't blame me, madam and young lady!" Master Qing said embarrassedly.

"Master Qing, if you put it like this, will you be able to find something when you want to?" Wen Yu had a headache.

"No problem." Master Qing looked at the room and smiled.

The embroiderers and the little girls were all standing nearby and saw that Madam Qi was a little nervous.

"These embroiderers have been following Master Qing. They have great skills and are very attentive. Now, they are helping to train apprentices. These six girls have only been learning for a few months. Look..."

Master Qing personally introduced it to Mrs. Qi: "When we selected the people, we had a focus. So, the girls have only been working for a few months, and you can see that they can produce such works."

Mrs. Qi still felt a little strange about Master Qing. She took the embroidery she handed over and looked at it carefully.

The stitches are smooth, the colors are harmonious, and the layout is innovative.

Although they are made by the same master, the differences in their products can be distinguished.

Although Mrs. Qi's job is not very good, she has good vision.

"Several girls started by learning sewing and embroidery. Once they were a little more stable, we focused on training them according to their characteristics. For Qiaoer and Guoer, I taught them tailoring. Now, they can basically cut and sew their own clothes.

Wearing it yourself will make you appreciate it more. Shui Lian has a unique eye for color matching. Li Da Niu and Li Er Niu are two sisters, and their embroidery skills are very steady. The one that the lady is holding was embroidered by them.

This girl is called Xiao Liu'er. She likes to make dolls, and she is somewhat self-taught. Look, this one is made based on Master Lanzhou's tortoise."

Madam Qi took it and said, "Oh, it really looks like it! If Yuanyuan saw it, she would definitely like it!"

Wen Yu also took one to look at, "Xiao Liu'er, although this one looks very similar, it's a little small. You have to remember that the shape and spirit should be similar. You can make the features more exaggerated. For example, for this turtle, you can sew its eyes to be cross-eyed, which will make people want to laugh when they see it. Children will like it!"

Madam Qi nodded, "Yes. Ah Yu is right. There are many girls like Yuanyuan in Beijing. They love these. They are loved by their parents. They are interesting to make. When I come here, I will buy them for Yuanyuan."

Xiao Liu'er's eyes sparkled: "Yes, ma'am, young lady. Xiao Liu'er understands!"

Master Qing smiled, "Madam, among these masters, the youngest has been with me for three years. Although they are women, some are even disabled. But they work hard and can support themselves."

Mrs. Qi was moved again. "My mother's family is in Lingnan. They have long established Chunhui Charity Hall to help poor girls in their families and let them learn spinning and weaving. They can become self-reliant. You guys are great. You work hard. In the future, you will not only be able to support yourself, but also buy houses and land and live a prosperous life."

The eyes of several embroiderers lit up and they nodded with red faces.

…

The group arrived at the back hall. Yan Zhu knew that Mrs. Qi was coming, so she spent the whole morning preparing meals.

Madam Qi had heard Nanny Cui mention Yan Zhu before, but she was surprised again when she saw her in person.

I sighed inwardly: How did these two girls get together?

Pulling Yan Zhu to ask questions. Yan Zhu's personality made Mrs. Qi particularly like her, and she laughed while talking...

He actually secretly wanted to adopt her as his goddaughter.

…

Master Qing explained the prepared items one by one, and wrote and drew on the table.

Everyone discussed the issue, and finally, even Mrs. Qi came up with a few ideas.

When the time came, Yan Zhu called out, "It's time for dinner!"

Everyone put their things away reluctantly.

Mu Ling and Chen Wenjie had been in a passionate relationship for a long time. At this moment, they were serving dishes like two butterflies, running in and out.

Du Juan brought Lan Zhou with her. He held the cotton box containing the little turtle and sat alone at a small table.

Wen Yu whispered a few more words to Madam Qi. Madam Qi saw Lan Zhou, who was clean, quiet and relaxed.

She was moved again. Now she wanted to ask herself how she found such a wife...

After a while, more than ten dishes, four snacks and a pot of soup were served on the table.

Yan Zhu said: "There are too few vegetables in the capital, so many dishes cannot be cooked. Fortunately, we prepared salted fish and salted meat, pickled vegetables and bamboo shoots, ham and salted eggs, dried shrimps, and even fermented glutinous rice! Madam, this fermented glutinous rice fish is Ayu's favorite!"

Madam Qi said, "You did so much by yourself? Don't you need to prepare for a few days?"

"These dishes are not complicated and will be ready in a short while. However, some dishes and snacks do require a few days to prepare. I'm sure Madam has also tried the cloud cake that Ayu likes. It looks simple, right? But the rice needs to be aged in advance, which will take at least three months!"

Madam Qi was a little surprised. "How old are you, little girl? How do you know so much?"

"Madam, my Zhuzhu knows how to cook any dish just by looking at it and tasting it. Not only does she learn how to cook others' dishes, she also knows how to cook her own! If we want to open a restaurant, we have to rely on her. But I don't want her to be bothered by these things. It would be best if she could come up with a recipe and train apprentices!"

"Come, drink the soup first!" Yan Zhu was very proud.

Mrs. Qi has seen and tasted this before.

She was free and easy when she was young, but after getting married, she would only eat until she was 70% full at most.

As a lady, this is what she should pay attention to!

But today, she ate too much.

"My father is a delicious cook. If the food in our restaurant was of this standard, we wouldn't need anyone else. He and his old friends would be the ones to support our restaurant!"

Wen Yu thought to herself that when such a person came, good wine would definitely be indispensable.

My cousin... when the time comes, the time will come when I will need you!

Everyone laughed, but she laughed the sweetest! …

After dinner, Madam Qi said, "That's roughly what we've decided. Let's spend the New Year peacefully. Then, I'll take Zhuzhu to eat at all the good restaurants in Beijing, and then decide on the characteristics of our own restaurant."

Everyone agreed.

Madam Qi sat with Wen Yu in the sun and sighed, "You are just a little girl, but you have such ideas and can gather such talents! It's really not easy!"

Wen Yu said: "These are just a small part. If we really want to do it, there are too many things to do. We also need a lot of manpower, especially for restaurants, which have their own special way of operation. If you don't understand, I'm afraid you will just be making a fuss!"

"From what I've seen, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money. Don't worry about the cost, I've prepared everything for you, just go ahead and do it!"

"Madam..." Wen Yu was touched and wanted to laugh, "I am very grateful for providing such a good shop. You know, such a shop is hard to buy, and you can't even rent it even if you have money. You have done enough! You don't have to worry about these expenses, Wen Yu has a way!"

Madam Qi didn't believe it. "Ayu, this is not a small amount! Even if you have a house, it will probably cost tens of thousands of taels. You are a girl, and at most you have your mother's dowry. How can you afford such a large sum?"

"I have a lot of money. If it's not enough, I can bring in a shareholder!"

"No, no, no, no, no need for others to interfere, we can just do it ourselves! If there are too many shareholders and they have different opinions, it will be troublesome."

"Don't worry! Besides, I'll pay you the rent for the shop!"

Mrs. Qi was upset when she heard this. "What nonsense are you talking about! The shop has just opened, and you almost entered the door. We are a family, why should we distinguish between each other?"

Wen Yu blushed, "After we get married, if you love your wife and are willing to reward her, I won't be hypocritical then. But business is business, you can't mess around. Even if you give it to your son in advance, there is still your elder brother at home! You have done it conveniently, and if I cause you trouble again, it would be Wen Yu's ignorance!"

"Ayu...good child..." Mrs. Qi felt like crying.

Since she was a child, she has never cared about money or things.

Even if I despise the Xu family, as long as Xu Minghui does a good job and is loved by people, I will never treat my daughter-in-law badly! Aren’t all the properties for my son? I really didn’t pick on her!

Look, the role model is right here! ...

At this moment, Aunt Xu was looking at her nephew.

With bruises on his face, he is crying...

He was riding a horse following Wen Yu and Madam Qi's carriage, and before he knew what was going on, something covered his head and blocked his mouth.

Before he could even scream, he was beaten.

He fought for a long time! When there was no more movement, he got up and saw that his clothes were torn and his horse was gone...

"Robbery, murder!" He shouted a few times. The alley was very quiet and no one came to watch the fun.

As a last resort, he limped back home.

An extra 3,000 words for my readers: "Dreaming of Mogan Mountain".

Thank you for your continued companionship, appreciation, and practical rewards.

I hope you are happy in the new year.

All you stinky babies are doing well!
