    Old Mrs. Ying and the people from the third room of the Ying family watched Ying Shuchang leave. They wanted to stop her, but they didn't dare to stop her. They were afraid of the sign in Ying Shuchang's hand, as well as the officers and soldiers standing beside her.

    When Ying Shuchang left with Madam Zhang and the two big boxes, the fat shopkeeper from Yaxing didn't leave. He also brought a lot of people. He looked at the people in the house and said with a smile, "Old lady, you should move too. Now, this house is in my name now, so I ask the old ladies to be quick, move them out today, so that I can clean the house, I like this house very much, I don't plan to sell it, I plan to give it to you. If you live with your own family, of course, the sooner you move in, the better.”

    The old lady cried, "Treasurer, it's already dark. Besides, if we move now, where do we live?"

    She had to move back to the cramped and dilapidated house before, of course she didn't want to, she just hoped that now all this was a scene played by her granddaughter.

    The fat shopkeeper was still smiling, "I can't handle this. After all, your surname should be different from mine, so you can't continue to rely on my house."

    This sentence choked the old lady, still crying and refusing to move, the fat shopkeeper lost his good face, and threw the house deed out. Now the house deed has his name on it. If these people don't move, just call them out.

    Seeing that the fat shopkeeper's face was cold, the people who brought him also stared at them. The old lady had no choice but to have someone pack her luggage. She also picked up the key that Ying Shuchang threw to her and went back to the room. Inside, dug out the Linglong lock box and found that the key could really be inserted into the keyhole. With a click, the lock was opened. The old lady hurriedly opened the Linglong lock box, but found that there was only a stack of thick rice paper...

    The old lady burst into tears. She didn't know whether it was the bitch who changed the contents of the Linglong box while she was away these days, or whether the box was actually always filled with these rice papers, and the bitch deliberately played with her.

    An hour later, the old lady led the people from the three-bedroom house to move out of the house.

    The crowd was crowded outside.

    The old lady cried and complained about what Ying Shuchang had done. The neighbors were stunned and felt that Ying Shuchang was too cruel. Willing to share with the family.

    "Tsk tsk, how can a girl's family be so cruel."

    "No, after all, they are all surnamed Ying, and the old lady is also her grandmother. It's too much to treat her relatives like this."

    The fat shopkeeper couldn't stand it any longer, so he snorted: "What do you know, this old lady brought a whole family and moved to Ying Lao Er's house. It's been more than a month, and she didn't even have a tablet to worship Ying Lao Er. , is it still blasphemous to blame Mrs. Ying for being cruel? Isn't Mrs. Ying and the others who are cruel?"

    When the neighbors heard this, they were a little surprised, "This... It's really too much to not even worship your own son."

    "You don't know, this old lady is also ruthless. She gave Ying Lao Er a few taels of silver when she split it out. It's obvious that she is partial. Now that Ying Er Er and his wife are dead, they bully an orphan girl like this, and they don't even think about it. Going to worship Ying's second child, it's no wonder Mrs. Ying is cruel."

    "But a hundred thousand taels of silver, donate it if the lady says it is donated. It's true... Hey, how can you be willing to donate this?"

    "No, hundreds of thousands!"

    They have never even seen 10,000 taels of silver bills in their lives, and a 19-year-old lady actually donated hundreds of thousands of taels of silver bills.

    I felt that Mrs. Ying was quite courageous.

    The old lady Ying could only bring people back to the old house where she lived in a dreary way.

    ...

    Ying Shuchang took Mammy Zhang to find a larger inn, and asked for a shop, enough for her to live with Mama Zhang.

    Now she only has some scraps of silver on her body, and there are some silver bills on her body. She lives in the inn first, and then rents a small yard in two days. She and Zhang mama can live in peace of mind. , Daddy still deposited some silver notes for her in the bank, which was only a few thousand taels. This money should not be known to the family, but she did not plan to take it out. The scattered money on her body is enough, if it is not enough To use it, she sold all her jewelry, and let Ying's family know that she really had no money.

    After staying at the inn for two days, the story that she donated all the family business her parents had worked so hard to donate to the military camp has spread throughout Raozhou City.

    Everyone was a little shocked and thought she was too stupid.

    Many people think that she is too much. For a girl's family, the money should be given to Ying's family.

    In short, Ying Shuchang's reputation is still bad, but she doesn't care at all, and she plans to marry someone and cares about what that thing does.

    If a man really looks down on her because of this kind of thing and thinks that she has a bad reputation, she is not willing to marry such a person.

    Ying Shuchang stayed in the inn for two days, and lived in a small secluded yard with Madam Zhang for four hundred cents a month. She simply bought some things and lived in. She also went to buy a puppy and came back.

    She kept the formula left to her by her parents, but she was also afraid that her family would think about this formula and continue to trouble her. In the end, it was better to raise a dog to guard the home.

    Living in the small yard, she didn't have to worry about anything, she actually felt that her life was peaceful and comfortable.

    She plans to stay like this for half a year, and after half a year, when Xu Xiaoniangzi's restaurant opens, she will go to be the shopkeeper for Xu Xiaoniangzi!

    ...

    Xu Qinyu and her fourth brother waited for a day at the Bafang Inn. When the shopkeeper of the Yaxing Company sent someone the deed of the land, she knew what Ying Shuchang had planned. She did not want to leave Raozhou City and planned to sell the family business. All that is donated to the military camp.

    Knowing that Mrs. Ying had made a decision, Xu Qinyu and her fourth brother didn't stay long. After the land was transferred, the two went out of the city again.

    Xu Qinyu also accompanied the fourth brother to the outside of the city, and the fourth brother wanted to see the feng shui nearby.

    Where these buildings are to be built will be based on feng shui.

    Xu Qinyu didn't understand, so he followed the fourth brother, watching him based on the surrounding mountain topography and water sources, he quickly became optimistic about Feng Shui.

    Pei Weixuan said: "Yu Niang, let's go back too. We can see the same thing here. After we go back, I will help you to draw the final architectural structure drawing for you, and you can almost find someone to start the construction."

    The two left Raozhou City. As for what happened to Ying Niangzi, she also asked the shopkeeper Zhou to help and stare. If Ying's family dared to bully Ying Niangzi like this, she would go and help Ying Niangzi.

    Shopkeeper Zhou also reassured Xu Qinyu that he would help to keep an eye on him.

    After returning, Xu Qinyu also got busy. Not only did he go to the Xuji restaurant to be busy, but he also had to find someone to buy bricks, tiles, wood, sand, and other materials for building the house.

    Fortunately, the fourth brother helped her, and the construction drawings that the fourth brother helped her draw, as well as the interior decoration drawings, were all drawn together.

    In addition to the restaurant, there are also female relatives and male guests living in the house. In addition, behind the guest house where the female relatives live, Xu Qinyu also plans to build a house with five entrances. You can play in the big garden behind the house, and you can also lead from the big garden to the back mountain. Such a big place is enough for them to run away.

    This five-entry house is enough for her to live with the Pei family.

    However, Wujin's house is big, and there are only a few people in the family. It will definitely be empty, and it will not be possible for the family to clean it. Wujin's house is too big. You have to want people, so you have to buy maids and servants.

    Now the house in Laixi Lane is cleaned by Mrs. Zhu on weekdays.

    In fact, Mrs. Wen wanted to buy two maids, but Mrs. Zhu refused, saying that it was just a bit of work, otherwise she would have to do things on weekdays.

    Xu Qinyu plans to recruit craftsmen to build houses in Yuanbao Town. She will work in Raozhou City for a few months. There is no need to return home every day. She must also live on the construction site. She is also from Yuanbao Town. It's easier to manage when it's cooked.

    As for the bricks, tiles and sediments built, it is definitely more convenient to go to Raozhou City to buy them.

    She also needs to inquire about these things in advance. You can ask Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu lives in Raozhou City and is in business, so she must know many people.

    Mrs. Lu returned to Raozhou City a few days ago.

    Xu Qinyu wrote a letter to Mrs. Lu and asked Tao Qi to send it to Raozhou City, and also asked Tao Qi to help inquire about Niangzi Ying.

    Tao Qi is the little bitch who wanted to steal Xu Qinyu's ham before. The three of them can be considered to be righteous. They have never done anything about stealing chickens. Anything my brother has to do is left to the three of them.

    At that time, she will not be able to supervise the work on the construction site, and she will have to hand it over to Brother Gong.

    In the past three years, Brother Gong has also grown taller, half a head taller than Xu Qinyu. With his martial arts training, he looks very strong, and it is still very shocking. Even if his face is a little tender, he will definitely be at that time. Will let Tao Qi and the others help and stare.

    Tao Qi also became a relative. The girl's age is similar to him. Before, the family asked the girl to marry a sick seedling for the dowry. A few years later, the sick seedling passed away and the girl came home. Tao Qi himself liked this girl very much, but before he He also knew that he was a bastard and was not worthy of others. Now he has changed a lot. He has saved a lot of money in the past year and a half.

    After becoming a relative, he became more and more motivated, willing to do any dirty and tiring work, so he wanted to save more money and let his daughter-in-law live a good life.

    The girl also knew that he was distressed. Every time he went back, he had hot meals to eat. No matter how smelly or dirty his clothes were, the girl didn't dislike him and helped him starch and wash the clothes.

    Tao Qi's parents originally thought that their son was going to be a prankster and helpless in this life, but they were so happy when they thought that their son would still improve.

    So even if they are married as a little widow, the old couple has no opinion and treats their daughter-in-law very well. On weekdays, the daughter-in-law cooks at home, and they make money outside. Drink, don't save.

    In short, Tao Qi has a good life now.

    He knew that Xu Dong's family planned to go to Raozhou City to build a restaurant, so he secretly asked Brother Gong, "Brother Gong, is the owner going to build a restaurant outside Raozhou City? Can we reserve a place for the three of us then? We have all worked in the workshop and are familiar with it, and it is no problem to be a small worker."

    Now everyone in Yuanbao Town knows that Mrs. Xu is going to open a restaurant in Raozhou City, but she did not open a shop in the city, but went to rebuild it outside the city. This is very strange, and I am curious why she wants to Building a restaurant outside the city, and then going out of the city to eat a morning meal and evening meal, isn’t it very troublesome?

    Can this be a business?

    But people have already begun to recruit craftsmen, and it must not be faked.

    There are already many people in Yuanbao Town who plan to try it out to see if they can be recruited.

    Brother Gong glanced at Tao Qi and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my cousin-in-law should not only let you do a small job, but I guess that time will come with me to supervise the work."

    When Tao Qi heard it, he rubbed his hands excitedly, "Then please rest assured, I will do my best."

    He wanted to grab the money to buy a golden hairpin for his daughter-in-law.

    When Xu Dongjia asked him to send a letter to Mrs. Lu in Raozhou City, Tao Qi knew that Brother Gong did not lie to him.

    He personally went to Raozhou City and handed the letter to Mrs. Lu. After reading it, Mrs. Lu replied.

    Taking advantage of Mrs. Lu's reply, Tao Qi went to the tea stall in the nearby market to ask for a cup of tea, and heard the people around him babbling about things related to Mrs. Ying.

    It takes at least ten days and a half for Ying Niangzi to stop.

    Niangzi Ying had rented a small yard to live in, and her family even came to the door, but Niangzi Ying ignored them. Anyway, the formula was in her hands, and she had no money, so these people could only be in a hurry. She must be upset and uncomfortable, but she is happy.

    Anyway, she doesn't care about her reputation. She lives with these people behind closed doors. Whenever she doesn't receive people from her family, she yells at the door so hard that the neighbors are annoyed, and a woman comes out. The eighteenth generation of the ancestors who slammed the door shouted at the people, and the Ying family who scolded them left in despair.

    Ying Shuchang is also very good at being a man. She specially gave this woman a basket of eggs. The woman happily took it and said, "Don't worry, big sister. If someone comes to harass you in the future, I will help the big sister to scold them."

    Ying Shuchang smiled and thanked him.

    So the benefits in front of you are the most moving. Even these people feel that she is cruel, that she should not deal with her family like this, that she is a girl who doesn't even care about her reputation, but so what? She didn't lose a piece or two of meat, but these people would come to help her because of this little benefit.

    Hearing that Lady Ying did not suffer, Tao Qi was relieved, and returned to Mrs. Lu's mansion, taking her reply to Xu Dong's family and returning to Yuanbao Town.

    Xu Qinyu had read Madam Lu's reply to her.

    Mrs. Lu said in the letter that she knew a lot of brick and tile kiln workshops, and it would be much cheaper for Xu Qinyu to come to Raozhou City to settle the bricks, tiles and sand.

    Knowing that Lady Ying did not suffer, Xu Qinyu was relieved.

    Half a month later, Xu Qinyu started construction of a restaurant outside Raozhou.

    As for the dozens of acres of fields that Ying Niangzi gave her, it was just the autumn harvest season, and Xu Qinyu also waited until the tenants had collected all the crops in the fields before moving the land over there to lay the foundation.

    And these tenants suddenly have less fields to plant, and they are also in a state of panic. What will they do in the future if they lose their fields to grow food.

    It was not until the new owner told them that although the fields could not be planted, the fields would be used to build houses, and that the strong laborers in the family would be able to do small jobs, and then everyone felt relieved.

    The restaurant outside the city of Raozhou started construction, and Xu Qinyu went there with his fourth brother.

    Brother Gong and Tao Qi are the supervisors. Before, Tao Qi's two little brothers were small supervisors.

    Xu Qinyu handed over all the purchases needed on the construction site to Brother Gong and Tao Qilai.

    As for Brother Cheng, Xu Feng and the other four, they have to learn cooking skills from the restaurant on weekdays. After all, after the restaurant opens, they either have to stay in Xuji, or come to the restaurant to start cooking.

    Xu Qinyu has also been recruiting cooks these days, but she is worried that after the restaurant opens, there will be insufficient manpower, so it is best to recruit cooks first.

    In Raozhou City, many people already knew that the owner of Xu Ji Restaurant was going to open a restaurant in Raozhou City.

    Xu Qinyu's name, in fact, even many restaurants and restaurants in Raozhou City have heard of her name. know that there is a Xuji Restaurant in Yuanbao Town. A small restaurant, full of guests every day.

    Knowing that she was going to open restaurants in Raozhou City, the owners of these restaurants and restaurants were still a little worried, worried that the restaurants opened by Xu Qinyu would snatch all the diners.

    But when they learned that Mrs. Xu was going to open the restaurant outside the city, everyone was a little confused at the moment, and wondered if she was too condescending. They really thought that the food she cooked could make the diners accommodate her and ran outside the city do you want to eat?

    After all, they have only heard that the food cooked by Miss Xu is delicious, but they have never actually tried it.

    Now many people are no longer worried about Xu Ji robbing their diners, but are ready to read Xu Ji's jokes and see how many customers she will have when she opens the restaurant outside the city.

    Just looking at the momentum of Mrs. Xu's construction outside the city, it seems a bit big. There are almost hundreds of acres of fields that have begun to dig the foundation. How big is this Xuji restaurant?

    Construction has started on such a large land, and even tens of thousands of taels of silver can't be taken down. This little lady Xu is really not afraid of losing money. This is still open outside the city. Even if the business is not good, the family property can't be sold even if she wants to sell it. Lose.

    There were even people in Raozhou City betting that the restaurant opened by Mr. Xu Ji's family outside the city would be closed for as long as it lasted.

    Xu Qinyu didn't know this. Although she didn't need a supervisor, she was very busy and had to deal with many matters.

    The fourth brother accompanied her to look outside Raozhou City two days ago. After returning to Yuanbao Town, he went out to run a business again. He said that it would take two months to get it. That side is already on the right track, and the amount of work there is huge, and many small workers and craftsmen are hired, so she doesn't need to worry about it.

    But she has to start looking for someone to make furniture, kitchen utensils, stuff like that.

    In short, all aspects must be taken into account, and people have to be recruited. The restaurant needs waiters, and the houses on both sides where the women and men rest also need to recruit people.

    The female relatives here are all young ladies in their teens to thirties, and they have to be taught how to knead the guests' muscles and bones, and dredge the meridians.

    Big and small, there are still a lot of scattered things.

    After the fourth brother left, Xu Qinyu would visit Raozhou City every now and then.

    Mrs. Lu also helped with the project, and Zhen Wu also helped her a lot.

    Fortunately, although there are many things, they are all proceeding in an orderly manner. It is like spending money like running water. Xu Qinyu is a little worried that the money will not be enough in the end. If you want, just borrow from them.

    At present, there is still a lot of money on her body, and the fourth brother has estimated it for her. The money on her body is barely enough, but there will be many other places where money will be used here and there, and I am afraid that I will have to prepare another 10,000 taels about.

    The days passed quickly, and it was late autumn in a blink of an eye. The fourth brother just came back and stuffed her with five thousand taels of silver.

    Xu Qinyu was a little startled, "Fourth Brother, why did you go out? Why did you bring so many banknotes?"

    Pei Weixuan was silent for a while, and said, "My boss gave it to me."

    He squeezed out the five thousand taels of silver from Huo Ye.

    Huo Ye has already come back from this trip, and the glazed utensils are sold very well. They sold a large sum of money, but Huo Ye used up half of the money. There are many places on the island that need money. Now that he has earned the first sum, he naturally takes care of the people on the island first, and Huo Ye also keeps the rest, and what he needs to recruit soldiers and horses in the future will be tens of millions of taels of silver.

    As a result, His Highness asked him for 10,000 taels of silver bills as soon as he came back.

    In the end, there was nothing he could do, so Huo Ye squeezed out five thousand taels of silver and gave it to His Highness.

    Xu Qinyu was surprised and said, "Fourth brother, why did the boss give you so many banknotes?"

    Pei Weixuan glanced at Yuniang.

    Xu Qinyu guessed in her heart that the owner of the fourth brother seemed to be buying that colored glaze. This thing is valuable. It must be that the fourth brother made a lot of effort on the way to protect the bodyguards, so the owner revealed so much money, five thousand Two, it must have been earned by working hard.

    "Fourth brother, are you all right on the road with your bodyguard?"

    Xu Qinyu was a little worried.

    Pei Weixuan had already guessed what Yuniang was thinking, and felt a little helpless, "It's fine, Yuniang doesn't have to worry."

    Seeing that the fourth brother was fine, she felt a little relieved. In the end, Xu Qinyu accepted the five thousand taels of silver note without being polite to the fourth brother.

    Pei Weixuan didn't stay at home for long, and went out after ten days.

    Xu Qinyu knew that the fourth brother's five thousand taels of silver would not be easy to earn, so he had to go out and work as a bodyguard for his boss.

    When the fourth brother left, she made crispy sausage for him.

    Recently, she has been studying recipes and ordering meals for the restaurant.

    She has changed the recipe of this crispy fat sausage several times, and it comes out with the taste that she thinks is the most suitable.

    For this crispy fat sausage, she marinated it first, then coated the surface of the marinated fat sausage with a layer of crispy water, and after the crispy skin on the fat sausage dries up, she put it in the frying pan and fried it again. Fry until golden and crispy.

    After the fried crispy fat sausage is slightly cooled, the skin is crispy and slag-like, with a slightly sweet taste. It tastes crispy and strong, and most of the fat inside is fried, so it will not Very greasy, but very satisfying.

    Even if it is completely cooled, the taste is still very crunchy.

    The crispy water she mixes can keep the crispy taste for about two days.

    After two days, although the taste is no longer crispy, it becomes more chewy, and the taste before and after is very flavorful and fragrant.

    But this thing can be put away in autumn and winter. In summer, it must be eaten as soon as possible, otherwise it will become sour.

    This crispy fatty sausage is so fragrant that everyone likes it when it comes out.

    It can be said that Xu Qinyu's new dishes have not been disliked by everyone during this period of time.

    Xu Qinyu only made these new recipes at Xuji, but they haven't put up an order yet, and the diners haven't tried them yet, they are all the guys in the restaurant trying them out.

    I brought a lot of crispy fat sausages to the fourth brother, and asked him to give the people in the caravan a taste, so that if he had anything to do, the people in the caravan would remember to help him.

    As for Xu Qinyu, when the fourth brother left, something happened to Xu Ji.
