Chapter 361 Wan Qiqi's Ramblings
Wan Qiqi stood at the entrance of the private room for a while, then started walking downstairs.
In all her life, no one had ever picked fish bones from her bones before; it was like serving an ancestor!
Although Fang Luxue is willful, she is not barbaric, and she will often side with Wan Qiqi.
Wan Qiqi would certainly not let Fang Luxue lose face.
But Fang Luxue was still a child who grew up being pampered, and was too naive.
She offended the Tang family and sent Tang Qiwen to prison. How could she possibly make the Tang family let it go with just a few words?
In ancient times, men were valued more than women, and merchant families were extremely concerned about their reputation and held grudges. They were also very calculating, so it was impossible for them to simply say that they would not care.
Old Mrs. Tang was probably just trying to fool Fang Luxue and lower her guard!
Thinking about this, Wan Qiqi felt that she should act cautiously in the future and master all kinds of information in order to make plans and avoid being schemed against.
She walked to Wu Gousheng's side and whispered, "Gousheng, go to Baizhi Town for me and find out about the Xie family and the Pei family. Be discreet and don't be too obvious."
Wu Gousheng was taken aback upon hearing this. "Sister Qi, what do you want to know?"
"It's nothing. Didn't they say the Xie family and the Pei family have a feud? I was just curious." Wan Qiqi chuckled twice, as if she really was just gossiping.
“Okay, I’ll go find out!” Although Wu Gousheng didn’t believe Wan Qiqi was just curious, he knew that Wan Qiqi must have her reasons for doing so.
Wan Qiqi tossed a few loose silver coins to Wu Gousheng and said, "Find out the prices and dishes at the various restaurants over there. If there's anything special about them, I need to know when I get back."
Wu Gousheng smirked and said, "Alright, Sister Qi, you can leave this to me!"
He put the silver in his pocket and immediately walked out.
"Gousheng, where are you going?"
"Something came up, we'll talk when you get back!"
"Have you seen my older brother and sister-in-law?"
"Sister Qi is at the restaurant..."
Wu Gousheng's voice faded into the distance, while Chen Yongliang's voice grew clearer and clearer.
Under Wan Qiqi's watchful gaze, Chen Yongliang stepped into the restaurant lobby.
At the same time, another person followed Chen Yongliang in.
Wan Qiqi frowned slightly, her smile fading a bit, and looked at the two approaching people intently, asking, "Why are you here?"
"I was terrified when my brother told me to go back to the village that day!" Chen Yongliang said, still somewhat shaken. "Thankfully, you're all alright, and the restaurant is open for business again!"
Wan Qiqi glanced at the guests in the hall, which was gradually filling up, and said, "Come upstairs with me."
Once they reached the shopkeeper's study, she asked in a low voice, "How is the situation at home? Is Insect Girl recovering well?"
Chen Yongxing nodded and said, "Everything is fine. Doctor Sun came by, and the wife's condition has stabilized. She can take Xiaoyu with her now!"
Wan Qiqi was somewhat relieved and said, "Although her condition has improved, we can't ignore her emotions. Women who have just given birth are prone to emotional problems. When you have time at home, please help her take care of the baby..."
Chen Yongxing and Chen Yongliang both burst out laughing as they listened to Wan Qiqi's ramblings.
Wan Qiqi frowned. Was what she said really that funny?
Chen Yongxing stopped smiling and said, "Sister-in-law, I feel that you are becoming more and more like Brother Wan. You could be a female tutor!"
"Have you ever seen the female teacher?" Wan Qiqi asked, tilting her head.
With a single sentence, he choked back everything the two brothers were about to say.
They had never seen a female teacher.
How could there possibly be a female tutor?
Wan Qiqi looked at the two silent men and said, "Although I know that you have heard all your lives about women staying at home to be good wives and mothers, I hope you can respect women's choices. They can do anything, they are not inferior to men!"
If the two brothers had heard this before, they probably would have thought it was nonsense, since men are in charge and women have no role to play.
However, Wan Qiqi changed their perception, making them believe that everything Wan Qiqi said was correct.
Because their sister-in-law is like that.
Wan Qiqi looked at Chen Yongxing and said, "Go home early. The family needs a man. Once things are more stable, you and Chongniang can come out together. I won't object."
"Okay." Chen Yongxing actually felt quite comfortable at home, but...
He looked up and said, "Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid of losing everything by buying so much wasteland and hiring people to work? Although that piece of land isn't bad, it's not so easy to grow vegetables there."
"I have a plan. Once I'm done with the restaurant, I'll go back and tell you the details." Wan Qiqi was confident in her crop planting base!
"By the way, many people in the village raise poultry. You can collect their droppings and pile them up in the wasteland..." Wan Qiqi gave another series of instructions.
She didn't know how long she talked, until her mouth was dry, before she finally stopped.
When she came out of the study, Old Madam Tang and Fang Luxue had already left!
On the first day of officially reopening, business was better than expected, and the net profit was more than ten taels of silver.
After closing at dusk, Wan Qiqi and Zhu Chengye left all the restaurant staff behind for a formal meeting to mark the restaurant's opening.
Everyone carried long benches and sat in three rows, facing the counter, waiting for instructions from the two shopkeepers.
They were actually a little panicked, afraid that the manager would fire them and then bring in the staff who had been dismissed by the guests from all directions.
Two-thirds of the staff hired by Xinglong Restaurant were novices with almost no experience in the restaurant business, which led to many oversights when the restaurant opened.
If it were those people from all directions, they could do even better with just a little training.
However, Lei Zi wasn't worried.
