Qiu Mingxuan is dead.
According to local custom, when an unmarried girl dies, the funeral must be kept simple, and no one will come to pay their respects.
Yang Cui and Cen Xiao didn't go either; there was no point in them going anyway.
They were the ones who poisoned him. Although there was no evidence, Qiu Tianyun knew it all along, so there was no need for him to get close to Qiu Tianyun at this time.
The Qiu family is small, and the entire Duke's mansion now appears unusually deserted.
After Qiu Mingxuan was buried, Qiu Tianyun collapsed and remained unconscious for two days before waking up.
Various prominent families in Kyoto sent various tonics as a token of their goodwill.
Of course, Cen Xiao also sent gifts and even visited him in person, but Qiu Tianyun did not want to see him.
"The Duke has passed away; please accept our condolences."
Qiu Tianyun looked at the person speaking in front of him with some surprise: "It's you. What are you doing here?"
"General Cen and his wife are living a happier and happier life, but poor Miss Qiu died so young..."
What are you trying to say?
"I just feel sorry for you. Why should Miss Qiu die? Why can Cen Xiao and Yang Cui live so freely and easily?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tianyun clenched his fists, his eyes filled with hatred.
The man was secretly delighted upon seeing this.
He continued, "Your Excellency should take good care of your health so that you can avenge Miss Qiu. If you need any help from the Qingyang Prince's Mansion, please just ask."
Qiu Tianyun remained silent, staring blankly at the retreating figure of Xia Yunfei, the heir apparent of the Prince of Qingyang, for a long time…
Xia Yunfei was overjoyed, believing that Qiu Tianyun and Cen Xiao would inevitably clash because of his instigation.
Since these two can't be won over to my side, let them both suffer heavy losses. Qiu Mingxuan's death was really timely...
Unbeknownst to Xia Yunfei, his every move was being controlled by Cen Xiao…
...
Time flies, and it's already the 15th of December.
The food court project has invested a lot of manpower and resources and is nearing completion.
Su Murong told Yang Cui that the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month was an auspicious day, and that the opening ceremony would be held on that day.
During this period, Yang Cui had been busy training employees, and Su Murong also gave Yang Cui a capable assistant - Huang Chunsheng.
Huang Chunsheng is a skilled chef and will be in charge of the food court's kitchen in the future, so having him assist Yang Cui in training her is like adding wings to a tiger. Moreover, some of these people already have some basic skills, so they can learn quickly.
With only one week left until the opening, we're working hard to stock up on goods during this week.
Lamb slices used for hot pot and pork belly slices used for barbecue must be frozen before they can be sliced thinly.
Fortunately, Yang Cui used saltpeter to make ice and built two cold storage facilities in the food court. With the cold storage, all the mutton rolls, meat slices, skewers and the like can be frozen. When needed, they can be taken directly from the cold storage. This way, materials can be prepared in advance to ensure there is no shortage of goods and to ensure that the meat does not spoil.
Yang Cui anticipated a large volume of shipments and emphasized the need to adhere to the first-in, first-out principle. Therefore, she proposed to Su Murong that a dedicated person be assigned to manage the cold storage. All goods entering and leaving the cold storage would have to go through this person, and the daily inventory of goods in the cold storage would need to be reported to facilitate timely replenishment of supplies by the cutting and preparation workers. Otherwise, it would definitely be too late to prepare meat skewers and slices of meat after the business opened each day.
The preparations were thorough.
The 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month arrived as scheduled.
At Yang Cui's suggestion, Su Murong invited the Emperor and Empress to cut the ribbon.
Of course, they wouldn't let them work for nothing, but Su Murong didn't tell the Emperor what the benefits of the ribbon-cutting ceremony were, instead keeping it a secret.
This piqued the emperor's interest.
The Emperor himself said he was going to the food court, so how could the other officials and their female relatives not go?
The ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at 10:00 AM.
The Emperor and Empress stood in the center, Yang Cui stood next to the Empress, Cen Xiao stood next to Yang Cui, and Su Murong Guo Zhenyu stood on the Emperor's side.
Regardless of how well the food court will do in the future, just the fact that they invited the Emperor and Empress to cut the ribbon is already a great honor.
Most officials' families owned properties, but the Emperor and Empress never attended any of their opening ceremonies.
These officials and their families were incredibly envious. What did it mean that the emperor was here? It meant that the emperor liked and trusted them!
What an immense favor this is!
