"Those who set fires behind people's backs are truly despicable; they've actually affected the business of my Tianxianglou branch because of them!"
"Everything was supposed to go according to plan, but now, due to the influence of those people, I don't know how Tianxianglou branch can possibly thrive."
Xu Yuehuai looked particularly dejected. She sat on the table with a slumped face, her hands supporting her chin, her eyes vacant and lifeless.
Qi Guze comforted Xu Yuehuai from the side, stroking the back of her head.
"You don't need to worry too much. It hasn't come to that point yet. Maybe there will be other twists and turns in this matter?"
After all, the fire occurred in the West Street of the Underworld Moon Kingdom!
Their Tianxianglou branch is located on the East Street of the Underworld Moon Kingdom!
Even if something happens on West Street now, it doesn't really concern East Street.
As long as East Street remains unaffected, many people will still come to their Tianxianglou branch.
Xu Yuehua sighed and said, "I hope things will get better. As long as it doesn't affect the Tianxianglou branch, then we can continue planning properly."
Qi Guze said, "Things will definitely get better, so don't worry."
Hearing this, Xu Yuehuai felt very warm inside, hoping that the Tianxianglou branch would indeed improve, just as Qi Guze had said.
They didn't stay in the room any longer and left immediately.
Zhang Ting was in the kitchen preparing breakfast for everyone.
While they were having breakfast together, Zhang Ting also talked about the fire that had occurred on West Street.
"I don't know why such a big fire broke out on West Street last night. I heard that all the people on West Street died. The officials even prevented the people from going to put out the fire, and killed some of them who tried to help. Now they have been arrested by the soldiers. I don't know how those officials had the nerve to do that."
Just as Zhang Ting was saying this, Pei Xuan spoke up from the side.
"How could these officials have so much audacity? It must have been arranged by the county magistrate. I heard that the county magistrate committed suicide out of fear of punishment. He was afraid of affecting others, so he took his own life."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ting felt a pang of sadness.
“I also have some relatives in West Street. I never expected something like this to happen. All of them are dead. This magistrate really deserved to die. It’s so infuriating that he died so suddenly.”
"He killed so many innocent people. I wonder if he'll be able to survive in hell after he goes there."
"Those innocent people who died will surely become evil spirits and haunt the magistrate. Even if he dies, he won't have a good time in hell!"
Xu Yuehuai shook her head slightly upon hearing this.
"When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; after death, there's nothing left."
"What a pity for those civilians who were killed!"
"There's not much we can do now. Let's go and give porridge to those who are suffering later!"
Some people have lost their support because the breadwinner of their families was burned to death.
Some people go insane after losing a loved one, wandering the streets all day.
Xu Yuehuai is now thinking that she should do as much as she can.
Making an extra copy is also accumulating more good fortune for yourself.
"Sister Xu, you are so kind as to help the people of Mingyue Kingdom. They used to say all sorts of bad things about you."
"If they knew how much you care about them and how much you think of them, they would definitely be very touched."
"You are so kind. I hope His Majesty will quickly start a barter system with your Great Zhou Kingdom. This will also improve the situation of our Mingyue Kingdom."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai smiled and said...
"I'm not as good as you say. I have my own reasons for doing this."
If she gives away food, it will definitely make other people have a better opinion of their Tianxianglou branch, and it will also make ordinary people like their food.
At that time, they will not only do business with the nobility, but also with ordinary people.
We're just gradually opening up the market to ordinary people; they'll definitely come to love Tianxianglou branches when the time comes.
With word of mouth among the people, Tianxianglou branch will surely enjoy a good reputation throughout the entire Mingyue Kingdom, or even within the four kingdoms.
Once others know about this, they will definitely gather at the Tianxianglou branch, which will then help the Tianxianglou branch expand throughout the four kingdoms.
After hearing what Xu Yuehuai said, Zhang Ting indeed said, "But no matter what, everything Sister Xu did was truly for the good of the people of Mingyue Kingdom."
The good deeds he did, regardless of the reasons, only showed that Xu Yuehuai was indeed a kind-hearted person.
Xu Yuehuai didn't say anything else, and everyone enjoyed their breakfast together.
After they finished breakfast, they got busy with the affairs of the Tianxianglou branch.
She sent someone to set up a porridge stall in the west of the city and distribute porridge. Zhang Ting followed along. After all, she was from the Mingyue Kingdom, so she was better able to communicate with the people of the Mingyue Kingdom.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze stayed at the Tianxianglou branch, busy with other things.
They prepared some ingredients, but not too many, since Xu Yuehuai judged that the situation today would not be very good, and she was not too prepared.
Xu Yuehuai originally thought that Tianxianglou branch would not have much business today, but unexpectedly, around noon, a large number of people suddenly poured in.
"Why are so many people suddenly coming in? What's going on? Don't they know about the fire on West Street?"
"Where did these people come from? Some of them look unfamiliar."
"They're not shills you hired, are they? Don't waste your money trying to make me happy!"
Xu Yuehuai saw that so many people had suddenly entered the Tianxianglou branch, all of them to eat. She thought that perhaps Qi Guze wanted to make her happy, so he had brought so many people as shills.
However, Qi Guze said to Xu Yuehuai, "These people are not shills I hired. Perhaps they really came to dine at the Tianxianglou branch?"
Qi Guze also found it a bit strange. He hadn't expected so many people to come to the Tianxianglou branch. He hadn't anticipated that so many people would come, even though he had initially imagined the scene.
