    Standing outside Yueman Building, Chen Nianguan tightened his jacket with the cool breeze blowing.

    It's really cold here in Capital City. It's just entered October, and don't think ordinary jackets are enough for me.

    I am afraid that the clothes that A Niang prepared for them are not enough, and will have to buy some more later.

    Braving the cold wind, a group of people strolled slowly in the inner city for a while.

    It can be clearly seen that there is still a difference between the inner city and the outer city.

    The house buildings in the inner city are more magnificent than the outer city, and the business district in the inner city looks more prosperous than the outer city. The spacious streets and alleys paved with bluestone bricks can be seen everywhere, and the luxurious BMW cars can be seen everywhere.Weaving Pedestrian, tsk, looking at the white fox and lamb jacket and the brocade robe with gorgeous patterns, he knows that he is a very luxurious and rich man.

    It is worthy of being the core of this dynasty!

    Chen Nianguan watched, and Little Darling shook with excitement!

    It is said that the people living in the inner city are all the most distinguished royal lords and powerful families in the world. After all, this is the closest geomantic omen to Donglai Purple Palace.

    If you can open a shop here, why not worry about the money?

    Chen Nianguan rubbed his hands involuntarily, wishing he could have a big fight right away.

    Let's go and buy a shop!

    We are a big rich woman with two and a half million pennies on her body!

    Chen Nianguan inquired about a dental shop with a good reputation in Capital City, and looked for it according to the address. The dental shop was very spacious, and a group of people just rushed in.

    When the man saw so many customers, he had a smile on his face, and when he heard Chen Nianguan say so loudly that he would buy a restaurant in the inner city, he smiled even more adorably, and quickly took out the restaurant brochure for sale., held it in front of Chen Nianwan respectfully.

    Chen Nianguan read one page, another page, and then two or three pages. After turning the page, the high spirits before the dental practice were gone!

    so expensive!

    Looking at the shops and restaurants in the central business district, the starting price is 10,000 taels every minute.

    Even her ideal two-story restaurant, the cheapest one costs 30,000 taels.

    Thirty thousand taels!

    When she came to Capital City, she couldn't even make up thirty taels of taels!

    Chen Nianguan clutched the booklet, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he called out to Mrs. Liu in his heart.

    Aniang, you are right, don't look at one million and two million is a lot, in Capital City, no amount of money is really enough.Look, now my daughter doesn't even have enough to buy a decent restaurant!

    Chen Nianguan suddenly felt that his family fortune had barely reached 30,000, and he was just a poor man in Capital City!

    Seeing the expression on Chen Nianguan's face, how can the dental staff not understand?His expression remained unchanged, but he asked with a smile, is there any suitable restaurant here?What is the condition of the restaurant that Chen Nianguan wants to buy?What is the target price?

    Chen Nianguan was embarrassed, but still bit the bullet and revealed his ideal restaurant. Although the chances are slim, what if there is one?Picking up leaks doesn't mean it's impossible.

    inner city.Two floors.Twenty thousand taels.

    "Okay, Mrs. Chen, please leave your address in Capital City. When we have a suitable shop later, the staff will tell you in time."

    Chen Nianguan, Liu Feng and others walked out of the dental shop with embarrassed smiles.

    As soon as he got his teeth out, Liu Feng kept tsk-tsk: "Cousin, just like our family, you are a beggar in the circle of Capital City!"

    Chen Nianguan also nodded, tsk!

    But no, my three million-dollar rich wives have all become poor.

    "Boss, since you have so much money, why do you need to open such a big restaurant?" Si Ya was puzzled, "If you don't open a restaurant and buy a house in the outer city, the remaining money is enough to buy a mansion."

    Nonono, little sister, that's not how accounts are calculated!

    Chen Nianguan shook his head like a rattle in his heart: "Si Ya, you don't understand this!"

    Buying a house means buying to live in!

    In this dynasty, He Qinghai Yan lived and worked in peace and contentment, so there was not much value-added room for buying this house. Now that Mr. Cang is kindly sponsoring the house for one hundred taels of silver a year, why can't he think about buying a house?

    What's more, she just glanced at the price of the Capital City mansion, and it's not cheap!

    Buying a store is different!

    First of all, if you buy a store, you can rent it out even if you don’t make a living!

    This can pay back slowly.

    Secondly, ????? To make a living by yourself, to be as successful as in Funing County and Prefecture City, but you just bought a chicken that lays golden eggs, and you get income every month. Isn’t this money making money?

    "But, what if the restaurant loses money? Or, what happens, your restaurant closes down?" Si Ya was really worried.

    Wow, the owner said he wanted to buy a restaurant worth 20,000 taels!

    Twenty thousand taels, how much money is that?

    It's all used to buy a shop!

    If it was her, she would use it all to buy a small house, and then use all the rest to eat, drink, have fun, and ten generations of descendants would live happily ever after.

    "Si Ya, who doesn't take risks in making a living?" Chen Nianguan is naturally not afraid.

    A few times ago, opening a store, opening an ice shop and a sugar shop, which time was not an adventure?Wealth is what you seek in danger!

    Liu Yun, Liu Feng and Liu Qing were also taken aback by Chen Nianguan's price!

    Twenty thousand taels!

    When did my cousin/cousin earn so much money quietly?

    This is too capable, right?

    It is simply a fortune that they dare not even imagine!

    If you take it back to Liujia Village, you can buy all the land and villages in Liujia Village with a radius of hundreds of miles, and you will still have a surplus. You can be a rich and gentry for several lifetimes, but in this Capital City, your cousin/cousin even owns a restaurant.Can't afford it?

    Liu Yun, Liu Feng, and Liu Qing are all like Chen Nianguan, whose concept of wealth has suffered unprecedented shocks and blows.

    Tch, Imperial City!

    Not to mention Liu Xiong and Liu Shi, they were stunned!

    "How about, cousin, anyway, you have so much money on hand, you can rent it instead of buying it?" Liu Qing asked.

    It's like they don't buy a house now, it's not bad to rent the yard of Cang's house!

    "Then, after renting the shop, what about the remaining silver taels?" Chen Nianguan asked distressedly.

    You can't put it in your own hands, because you can't give birth to cubs if you put it in your hands.

    She just thinks it takes all the money to raise more golden cubs!

    "It's okay to save it!"

    "Or buy a restaurant in the outer city? Maybe the restaurant in the outer city will be cheaper!"

    ...

    Everyone offered advice to Chen Nianguan.

    Chen Nianguan saw that he had enough shopping in the street today, so he headed back to Xianggui Street. When he left the inner city, he was still reluctant to part, looking at the Champs Pavilion with a resentful expression on his face.

    When we got to the outer city, facing the howling cold wind, thought of asking Liu Xiong and Liu Feng to buy more cars of charcoal and firewood and go back to the yard.

    I heard that the winter in Capital City is much colder than that in Funing County. Although there is a heated kang, the heated kang also needs to burn wood and charcoal!

    It is better to prepare the tools for heating early!

    There are also rice noodles, oil, salt and vegetables.

    In the capital city, there is no Uncle Liu to send food to them from time to time. Usually, in Funing County, there is no need to buy rice at all. The rations just received from Uncle Liu’s house are piled up in the cellar and there is not enough space to store them. In the capital cityI can only buy it myself.

    We have to wait to buy it some time before winter. This rice grain is not only expensive, but also afraid that it will not be available.

    Liu Xiong agreed with Liu Shi, and went back to look for Qi Mu.

    When Chen Nianguan returned to Xianggui Street, Zhang Erlang and Zeng Si also returned.

    Today, with Fan Shanzhang's name card and recommendation letter, they successfully met Liu Shanzhang of Meilu Academy, and after his personal assessment, they were allowed to enter the school.

    Meilu Academy is not a government school, but it can be regarded as a top-ranked private school in Capital City. There are also many Jinshi from this. Liu Shanchang was also a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, so it is the first choice for those who are not ranked high.place.

    But Meilu Academy is not in the city, but in the eastern suburbs, so all the scholars who are studying have to live in the academy.

    Tomorrow, they will move to Meilu Academy to study.

    Chunwei will be on the tenth day of February next year, and it is now October. The short period of four months can be regarded as the most abundant time for Zhang Erlang to study hard since his scientific examination. He has to hurry up.

    Zhang Erlang already knew that Chen Nianguan's purchase of a store was not going well. After eating, he saw Chen Nianguan picking up those unpacked bags again, holding a small notebook in his hand, and using a charcoal pen to draw something.walked over.

    "Wan Wan!"

    "Ok!"

    Chen Nianguan, who was caught off guard by the high-priced shops in Capital City, was thinking about how to adjust his business plan, when he heard his husband calling him, he answered perfunctorily without raising his head.

    Zhang Erlang felt ashamed.

    Ever since he got to know Wan Wan, he has been unable to solve any troubles that Wan Wan has to do.

    Now that he has obtained the honor of juren, it doesn't seem to have much effect except that the land bought by Wan Wan's family and Liu's family will be exempted from a tax in his name.

    The expenses for coming to Beijing were all spent on Wan Wan.

    It is the money and silver on her body, the board and lodging silver that can be paid to Meilu Academy, and the expenses for pens, inks, papers and inkstones, all of which she gave herself as dividends.

    I thought that after high school, Wan Wan could rely on me, but in the end...

    Chen Nianguan saw a shadow casting down from the side, blocking her sight, looked up, but saw Zhang Erlang frowning, feeling restless, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

    Zhang Erlang sighed softly, glanced at the small notebook, reached out, grabbed Chen Nianguan's hand, and pressed it to his face.

    "Wan Wan, do you think my husband and I are useless?"

    Chen Nianguan knew that he must have gone to the dental shop today and saw that the restaurant had insufficient money and let him know, so he laughed, "How can it be useless?"

    Zhang Erlang looked at her without saying a word.

    Chen Nianguan simply cupped Zhang Erlang's face with both hands: "First of all, I won't fancy a useless man as my husband, and secondly, you just have no money for the time being, but you are so lucky, you have been here all the way.The county has tried Juren, and it is already much more useful than many people!"

    "Is it really useful for Wan Wan to get my fame?"

    "It's useful!" Chen Nianguan nodded, "The shop I opened before was borrowed from other people's homes, and I was always guilty. Since my husband, you are the master of Juren, I dare to tell people that this is Mrs. JurenThe shop I opened, you don’t know, in Prefecture City, many people know that my husband is Juren, and they all treat me politely, even the guys in the shop have a higher status than other shops, this is all thanks to my husbandYour gift!"

    Zhang Erlang frowned slightly, still hesitating, "But, the money I got..."

    "A large part of the money you earn is what you deserve." Chen Nian smiled, "Did you forget? You helped write the signboards of many products of the Chen family, which is also one of the skills and indispensableYes, now every branch is using your calligraphy. I just offered you a chance to become a partner! Husband, you also earned money by relying on your strength."

    Zhang Erlang couldn't help laughing.

    He originally wanted to comfort the lady, but he didn't expect to be comforted instead.

    "Then is there any place in your shop that your husband can help?"

    Chen Nianguan thought for a while, then shook his head, "Not for the time being, if I need to use my husband, I will definitely bring it up."

    "The restaurant, what are you going to do?"

    "Let's take a look in the outer city first?" Chen Nianguan sighed and grabbed his notebook, "The restaurants in the inner city are really unaffordable. If you want to rent, you have to see if you can find a suitable one.Two plans."

    Chen Nianguan once again felt the oppression of poverty.

    "As long as Wan Wan has a way." Zhang Erlang is not good at making a living, so he can only stand by and watch.

    "Husband, you have to study hard. If you pass the No. 1 exam next year, maybe our restaurant will be famous because of you." Chen Nianguan laughed, "At that time, it can still be called No. 1 Restaurant!"

    "Since the lady has said it, she must do her best for her husband." Zhang Erlang nodded.

    But from the very beginning, Wan Wan supported him relying on his fame, hoping that he would be the champion?

    Although it may not be possible with my current talents, who would have expected that after four months of hard study, it would not be possible for me?

    Besides, his luck has never been bad, maybe, if he hit the big luck this time, he will really pass the exam?

    With this in mind, Zhang Erlang and Zeng Si were sent to Meilu Academy early the next morning.

    The things were all transported by donkey carts, and the two followed each other on horseback.

    The Meilu Academy is at the foot of the mountain, and there is also a stable in the academy for the scholar's horses. As long as you pay the money to the academy, a groom will naturally take care of it.

    Chen Nianguan and Liu Qing sent them here.

    Chen Nianguan was curious about what kind of academy Zhang Erlang studied in, and Liu Qing was yearning for the well-known academy in Capital City.

    Chen Nianguan looked at Liu Qing with envy, and asked, "Isn't everyone allowed to study in this Meilu Academy?" In my impression, it should be possible to become a student after passing the entrance examination, right?

    "This is different. In the academies in Capital City, whether Imperial College or other academies, uneducated scholars like us, unless their grades are particularly excellent, are not eligible to participate in the entrance examination at all."

    But like Chen Nianjian, relying on the top five results in the prefecture and township examinations, he can go to the Imperial College to participate in the assessment without any recommendation letter.

    Liu Qing sighed.

    There are so many scholars in the world, and there are so few well-known academies in Capital City, even the number of places for admission is very limited.

    If Zhang Erlang and Zeng Si didn't have letters of recommendation from Master Fan Shan, based on their rankings in the local examination, it would be difficult for them to obtain the qualifications of Meilu Academy.

    Let's say that Zhang Erlang and Zeng Si completed the admission procedures, and followed the academy's husband to the courtyard where the students lived.

    Most of the students here live in a room with two or three people. Although Zhang Er and Zeng Si met with Liu Shanzhang and passed the examination together, they were not housed together. After sending Zeng Si to his wing room,Only then did Zhai Fu send Zhang Erlang to another wing.

    Zhang Erlang walked into the courtyard of the row of wing rooms, seeing the exquisite decoration inside, even a bit more elegant than the courtyard where they lived in Xianggui Street, he couldn't help feeling emotional, and was even more surprised when he entered the wing rooms.

    This wing room is not like a place for ordinary students to study and clean up: Duobao Pavilion is full of antiques and porcelain, and there are more ornaments on the desk than books.Bows and arrows, a screen with patterns of flowers, birds and animals, a corner of a rosewood bed with exposed corners...

    It looks like the bedroom of a rich man.

    Zhang Erlang sized him up, then walked past the luxury, and walked to a narrow bed and a desk that were forced to retreat only against the corner of the wall, frowning slightly.

    It seems that the person in the same wing as me should be a difficult person to get along with.

    I don't know which son of Capital City?

    Just as Zhang Erlang put down his burden, footsteps and voices could be heard from the door of the wing.

    "Brother Yan is right. If you want the academy to keep bathing at that time, we brothers will just find a reason to ask for a leave. Then we will go to the royal hunting ground for autumn hunting. That is a trivial matter."

    "Brother Yang, you must take us with you at that time."

    "I'll see then!"

    "I heard that there are four more candidates who passed the examination and entered the school today. Have you inquired about their identities?"

    "Hey, what is there to inquire about? They must be the last candidates in the state capitals. They didn't get into the Imperial College, so they came here. But I heard that there is a candidate from the south who seems to be arranged for us.Here's the side room, I don't know who is so unlucky, there is one more... person in the room?"

    The person who said this was startled when he saw Zhang Erlang suddenly appearing from the room.

    "Brother Yang, it's your bad luck, someone arranged to come into your room." The other students gloated.

    The man named Brother Yang turned his head back with a murmur, and when he saw Zhang Erlang, he suddenly took a few steps back and his face turned pale: "You, you, you, who are you?"

    "Zhang Yulang from Lower Chuzhou, starting to study in the academy today, please give me your advice." Zhang Erlang bowed his hands to the students.

    "Zhang Yulang? Never heard of it!"

    "Is it one of the four newcomers to the academy?"

    "Did you come to Capital City to take the next year's exam?"

    The students were chattering, but Yang Jishan was still staring at Zhang Erlang's face, sweating profusely on his forehead: "Your name is Zhang Yulang? What does it have to do with Yongchang Marquis Residence?"

    Zhang Erlang looked at this student, who was obviously quite surprised, and didn't understand why he asked such a question: "Yongchang Marquis Residence? This is my first time in Beijing, and I don't know anyone from Yongchang Marquis Residence!"

    Should he be related to Yongchang Marquis Residence?

    Seeing that Yang Jishan was still staring at his face, Zhang Erlang subconsciously stretched out his hand to caress him.

    This person was so surprised when he saw his face?

    By the way, in Luming Garden earlier, some adults were also shocked when they saw his face.

    Now this classmate asked again, could it be that he looks similar to someone from Yongchang Marquis Residence?

    When Zhang Erlang thought about it, he felt relieved of the reaction of Pang Juan and his lord at that time, he didn't take it seriously, and went back to the house to tidy the bed and clear the desk.

    But he didn't know that behind him, Yang Jishan looked at his back, his face was flushed, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

    He went out of the house, and the two students who had been inseparable from him before also followed.

    "Brother Yang? Brother Yang?"

    "Go, let me find out if Zhang Yulang really has nothing to do with Yongchang Marquis Residence!" Yang Jishan said viciously.

    On the other side, Chen Nianguan and Liu Qing returned to the city.

    Change your mind, kill the plan to buy restaurants in the inner city, first look for restaurants in the outer city, and wait until the outer city has a firm foothold, not afraid that you will not be able to attack the inner city.

    Chen Nianguan found a dental shop in the outer city, only to find out that the shops in the outer city are not cheap, and restaurants in good sections cost 22,000 to 30,000 taels, which made it difficult for her to buy.

    "It's too expensive!"

    "Ms. Chen, buying a store in Capital City is no better than other places, so the price is naturally more expensive." The clerk of the dental shop smiled, "How many people want to come to Capital City? If you own a store, you will also buy it laterI can be regarded as half of the people in the imperial capital, and I have a property in the imperial capital, that is, to make a living at the feet of the emperor. Not everyone can do it, and it is something everyone wants to do! But the shops in Capital City are in the end.There are countless, every inch of land is expensive, isn’t it expensive!”

    Chen Nianguan had no choice but to choose two restaurants to visit.

    Probably because of the influence of the restaurant saw in the inner city yesterday, the restaurant is not pleasing to the eye, since can't buy one that suits needs, then will settle for the next best thing and rent it!

    Since it is rented, of course it is rented in the inner city.

    Originally, she thought that if she wanted to open a restaurant in Capital City, a large restaurant with at least two floors would be grand and famous.

    There are large and small restaurants and restaurants in Capital City. As Cang Monan said before, there are more than a dozen famous restaurants in Capital City, and Yueman Building and Yufenglou are gathered in the inner city.The most famous restaurant.

    So if she wants to open a restaurant again and want to make a name for herself, the restaurant can't lose to these two in terms of momentum.

    At the same time, I feel that since it is renting and I have enough money, I naturally want to rent a good bamboo shoot in a good location, so I become picky again.

    Then looked at the shops for three days in a row, but couldn't find the one liked, so went to emo!

    Fake big rich woman. Master Chen. Really poor people, those who are satisfied can't afford it, and those who can afford it are dissatisfied!

    O sorrow!

    Originally, I thought that opening a restaurant should be the same as before. I bought a store, and then asked Renli to renovate and decorate it. I can make cooking utensils and find a buddy to do all the work. I didn’t expect that Beijing’s big business plan stumped her at the first step of buying a store.up.

    Do you want to lower the requirements and rent a real estate first?

    Or buy a small shop on the scale of the Prefecture City West Store and start with a pho shop?

    No, no, since she has money, why should she wrong herself?

    If you can't find a satisfactory one now, it doesn't mean that you won't find a satisfactory one later. Perhaps, the opportunity is just around the corner?

    Chen Nianguan comforted himself in this way, and thought of the majestic Yueman Building, he couldn't help being envious and jealous, tsk tsk, the restaurant alone is worth 50,000 taels, right?

    The Shi family is really rich!

    When think of the Shi family, think of Shi Cunqi.

    By the way, it’s because he doesn’t touch restaurants anymore, but he’s familiar with the environment in Capital City. Maybe he can recommend which real estate is good. said wanted to visit him before, but it turned out that the real estate was busy, so couldn’t help it.Forget it.

    Chen Nianguan found out the address he got from the shopkeeper of Yueman Building, asked Qi Mu to prepare a gift, and went to visit Shi Cunqi in a carriage.

    Shi Cunqi's house is also in the outer city.

    It was not too far from Xianggui Street. When Chen Nianguan was approaching, Xiao You got out of the car and asked for directions, and he found it quickly.

    The concierge saw that they claimed to be from Funing County, Chuzhou, and quickly went back to report to his master.

    Then, it was not Shi Cunqi himself who came to meet Chen Nianguan, but Shi Cunqi's wife Fang Shi.

    Fang is a very dignified woman, probably from Shi Cunqi's mouth about buying two prescriptions from her in Funing County, and she has a good impression of Chen Nianguan.

    "You are the girl from the Chen family who can make preserved meat!"

    After Shi Cunqi bought back the batch of cured meat years ago, he not only sent it to Yueman Building, but also kept it in his own room. Naturally, as the second house, he also shared a lot. Fang liked the fresh and sweet taste of the cured meat.In addition, my husband bought two recipes in a row, which made Yueman Building a lot of profit, especially after the introduction of fish curd, Master Ming Hai also heard about it and patronized it, which earned Yueman Building a lot of face, and also got it from Master Shi.Very full marks of appreciation.

    Later, received a letter from shopkeeper Yang, knowing that the girl from the Chen family had developed a new dish, so husband went to Funing County again.

    This time, what my husband brought back to Capital City was not only a batch of cured fish, bacon and sausage, but also a recipe for making Chenjia Hor Fun.

    Originally, when my husband left Capital City to Funing County, he asked Master Shi for instructions, and Master Shi also asked the shopkeeper to go with him.

    With the success of the previous fish curd, if the strange people in Funing County really have fresh food, Master Shi is willing to sign the deed, and the big shopkeeper represents Master Shi's wishes, and he can act cheaply according to the specific situation.

    No, they successfully signed the Chenjia River Noodles production method, and purchased a batch of new flavors of cured meat.

    After the launch of Yueman Building, the cured meat became a big seller, and many people came to try it. Chenjia Hor Fun is also unique in Beijing, and Shi Cunqi made Mr. Shi satisfied.

    "This is so much that Mrs. Chen is willing to cooperate with my husband!"

    Fang looked at Chen Nian in Mr. Lang's attire and smiled.

    Chen Nianguan was embarrassed.

    The cooperation with Shi Cunqi is also paid in cash. She just knows how to make fish curd and rice noodles, but whether she can make a profit from it and how much profit depends on how the partner makes a living.

    Yueman Building is very famous, there are so many ready-made diners, any new food in the building, I am afraid that diners will be informed of it at the first time, and then make a profit.

    Shi Cunqi took advantage of the right time, place and people, how could he not succeed?

    Chen Nianguan felt a little smug at the thought that the food he could cook was popular in the largest restaurant in Capital City.

    No, the things she made are delicious!

    After Fang finished laughing, he sighed.

    Chen Nianguan looked at Fang's strange expression, but kept silent. She and Fang had only met each other for the first time, so it was not easy to ask questions. After sitting for a while, Shi Cunqi did not come out to entertain guests.I mean, say goodbye.

    Obviously she got it with her things, why didn't Shi Cunqi come out to thank her at this time, but seemed like he didn't want to see her?

    I greeted him several times in Funing County a year ago, but didn't realize that he was such a person!

    Besides, didn't Mrs. Fang say that Shi Cunqi's use of fish curd and rice noodles was welcomed by diners and Master Shi's approval?

    Then he did a good job, why did he let go of the Yueman Building thing?

    After leaving the Shi residence, Chen Nianguan couldn't bear it, and asked the steward of the Shi family, and learned from him that this master Shi died of a sudden illness at the beginning of this year, and after that, the members of the Shi family separated.

    "Break up?"

    "Hey, actually, in the final analysis, it means that our second master is too capable and is envied by others." Although as a servant, it should not be said that the master's family is not, but now the Shi family's eldest room and the Shi family's second room live in the same placeSon, it's not the same passer-by anymore, and this matter?????? Uncle Shi did not behave properly, so the manager started nagging.

    Only then did Chen Nianguan know that Shi Cunqi had done something, which brought Yueman Building's reputation to a higher level, and because of this, Uncle Shi was on guard.

    Yueman Building is the property of the Shi family, but when it comes to ownership, the eldest son of the Shi family has always been at the helm.

    Now that Shi Cunqi, as the second owner, signed new prescriptions one after another, Master Shi valued him more and more. Naturally, Uncle Shi felt uncomfortable, and he was afraid that the second wife would climb over the head of the eldest.

    Just after the year, Mr. Shi got a cold and died, so Mr. Shi took the opportunity to unite the other two houses, separate the family, and then drove Shi Cunqi out of Yueman Building.

    Although Yueman Building is still selling fish curd and rice noodles, the connection with Funing County has also been cut off.

    What I'm afraid of is that the Chen family has a relationship with Shi Cunqi, and if they continue to cooperate, they will cause trouble.

    Only then did Chen Nianguan understand why Shi Cunqi hadn't gone to Funing County for more than a year, and why the folks at Yueman Building said there was no second owner.

    To put it bluntly, it was Shi Cunqi who lost in the struggle for power in Yueman Building.

    "The Eldest Master is also stingy. Not only did he occupy the entire Yueman Building, but he also put all the houses of the Shi family in the inner city under his name. No, the Second Master was sent to the outer city."Sighing, "Since the second master was forced to move here, he has never cared about anything. He sleeps in the house every day. Even the son and the girl rarely see people, let alone ask him to come out to entertain guests.".”

    So, is Shi Erdong's family doing this decadent uncle?

    Chen Nianguan got into the carriage and sighed.

    I thought there was someone who could be useful in the capital city. After staying at home for so long, this person is almost useless.

    I'm afraid can't count on it.

    Back on Xianggui Street, Chen Nianguan accidentally saw Cang Monan who came to his door.

    Since that time at Lingyun Pavilion, Cang Monan came to visit again, knowing that Zhang Erlang and Zeng Si had moved to Meilu Academy, so he didn't come here much.

    Is today one doesn't visit a temple without a cause?

    "Miss Chen!"

    "Young Master Cang, what's the matter?"

    "Hey!"

    Cang Monan nodded his nose, and asked uncomfortably about the scallop sauce that Chen Nianguan gave him.

    Chen Nianguan knew it, Mr. Cang came for Yao Zhu Jiang.

    He is not the first.

    Because isn't there Jiang Yushi who has had a good time before?

    He won't be the last either.

    Well, there will definitely be people who have tasted the delicacy of scallop sauce in the future who will come to him.

    She has confidence in her own scallop sauce.

    In fact, the jar of scallop sauce that Chen Nianguan gave to Cang Monan was eaten up by Master Cang and Cang Monan these days. Master Cang always suspected that Mrs. Chen might be Chen from the batch of scallop sauce that my old friend brought in.The family members brought their grandson to buy scallop sauce, and asked him to ask about it.

    Chen Nianguan readily admitted, yes, we are the Chen family.

    Even the Chenjia hor fun, fish curd and the cured meat in Yueman Building are made by our Chen family.

    Cang Monan was shocked.

    On the way to Beijing, I had a lot of seafood dinners. I thought Mrs. Chen was good at cooking seafood, but I didn’t expect that the food she developed was still in the Yueman Building.

    Tsk tsk, speaking of it, Cang Monan only ate fish curd for the first time in Yueman Building.

    It is said that it is still a delicacy that Master Ming Hai likes to eat very much.

    When that method was launched by Yueman Building and became popular all over the city, other restaurants tried to study it first, trying to break it, but until now, no one has heard of it.

    It was Mrs. Chen who did it?

    Cang Monan's eyes on Mrs. Chen changed again.

    what!How can there be such a lady who can cook and eat?

    what!Why isn't she the cook of the Cang family?

    what!Why is she already a married woman?

    Chen Nianguan looked at Cang Monan's adoring eyes, and asked him about the situation of the real estate in the city with a smile.

    Cang Monan packed up his regretful mood, heard Mrs. Chen's question, told the truth, and then knew the process of Chen Nianguan's renting the shop.

    "Madam Chen wants to open a restaurant?" Cang Monan was shocked.

    She is a lady, and she wants to open a restaurant in Capital City, where the top chefs already gather?

    "That's right, it's a pity that shops are hard to find." Chen Nianguan asked, "Young Master Cang is from Capital City, so he should be very familiar with all parts of Capital City, can you help me find out where there are shops for rent that are suitable for restaurants?It’s best if you’re in the inner city, or if you’re in the outer city, the location should be good, and the real estate should not be lower than two floors..."

    The Cang family is an imperial merchant. Since they rely on the government to do business, they must be familiar with Capital City.

    And it is absolutely indispensable to be able to buy a shop, maybe the Cang family has it on hand?

    Renting a shop with Cang Monan, perhaps, can be as simple as renting this house?

    Or maybe, you can buy a cheap bamboo shoot directly from him?

    In order to let Cang Monan inquire about the market for herself, Chen Nianguan generously dug out a small jar of scallop sauce from the warehouse—a large room next to the kitchen, which she used as a warehouse for storing sauces.Take it away to Cang Monan and confiscate the money.

    Look, for the sake of her generosity, should bring her some good news?

    Cang Monan took a small jar of scallop sauce home to Master Cang, and then told the news he found out, including Chen Nianguan's search for real estate in Capital City to open a restaurant.

    Master Cang heard from his good-looking grandson that he confirmed that Mrs. Chen was the Chen family that he had guessed, and she wanted to open a restaurant. His eyes fell on the jar of scallop sauce and never moved away.

    The Chen family is very capable, and they have raised such a capable daughter.

    Master Cang remembered the batch of scallop sauce that his old friend bought back.

    Mrs. Chen, who can make exquisite food like fish curd, also knows how to make this delicious scallop sauce, and is already a wife of Juren, and she is willing to come out to do business under her identity.The Chishimai and Yueman Building should have real skills.

    Master Cang thought about it again.

    But Mrs. Juren wants to go into business despite her dignity, is it because she is forced to make a living?

    According to my good grandson, they are small people in the county town, and they don’t pay much attention to the rules of food and clothing. I’m afraid that Zhang Er’s family is not rich, and the bookboy spends a lot of money. It is said that he is not a talent for Imperial College.That is to say, in the coming year, he won the Jinshi examination. If he wants to find an official, he has to plan and plan, and money will be needed to pave the way.

    So Madam Chen opened the restaurant to help her husband in the future?

    He is a businessman, seeing a potential business, if he doesn't do it, he will be unwilling.

    Cooking food is a new field for him, and it is very unfamiliar. If you want to participate, you have to take a big risk, and you have to let him take advantage of it.

    Master Cang glanced at his good-looking grandson: "Then Mrs. Chen, did you say what you want from the restaurant?"

    "The real estate must have two floors, preferably in the inner city."

    two floors?Open a big restaurant as soon as you come up?You have a lot of guts, and you definitely have confidence in yourself.

    Master Cang thought that Mrs. Chen was going to open an ordinary restaurant, but unexpectedly, he became more certain.

    Doing business is often an adventure.

    Since Mrs. Chen wanted to do it on such a large scale from the very beginning, I'm afraid she will definitely not lose money.

    "Do we have a two-story building in the inner city, which can be used as a restaurant?"

    Cang Monan thought for a while, and finally came up with one. When he looked at his grandfather again, his expression changed: "Grandfather, don't you want to use it as a restaurant for Mrs. Chen?"

    When I first moved to Capital City two years ago, I planned to build Cangjiabufang, but I bought it in a hurry, and the location was a bit out of the way. Later, I bought another commercial building, which was originally reserved for a warehouse.

    Master Cang nodded.

    "However, we can rent it to her cheaply, but there are conditions."

    Master Cang's condition is that they can join Chen Nianguan's restaurant and share it in half.

    Tsk!

    When Chen Nianguan learned of this condition, his first feeling was that he was being targeted by a great white shark.

    The restaurant she worked so hard to open has to be divided into 50%, do you want to eat it?

    This Cang Monan was also cunning, he didn't say any additional conditions at first, and directly took Chen Nianguan to the inner city to look at the commercial buildings.

    The layout of the commercial building looks like a cloth shop. The lower floor sells silk and satin, cloth, wool and fur, and the second floor is tailor-made for tailoring. The backyard is the warehouse.

    It's not a bad idea to rent it out and renovate it into a restaurant.

    The location is a bit out of the way, two streets away from the nearest commercial district, but it is not impossible to consider - of course, since Master Cang said the condition, Chen Nianguan stopped thinking about it.

    She divides 50% of her own business for nothing, so isn't it all about making wedding dresses for others?

    Chen Nianguan shook his head repeatedly.

    "Ms. Chen, you should think this way. Our Cang family is willing to rent such a good commercial building to you at a low price, and is willing to find craftsmen to transform it into a restaurant according to your requirements. In addition, our Cang family is more familiar with Capital City than you."As usual, if there is anything, I will naturally protect you. With this restaurant, with this calculation, you simply got a place to run the restaurant at the lowest cost price, and you got a reliable partner, noLost!"

    Cang Monan tried his best to persuade Chen Nianguan to agree.

    If he wanted to open a restaurant with Mrs. Chen, wouldn't he have delicious food every day?Where can find such a good thing?

    Nonono and Chen Nianguan directly rejected Cang Monan's proposal without thinking twice.

    What she wants to do is to make a living that is completely her own.

    Even if they were looking for a partner, they would definitely not consider a family that wanted to take 50%.

    Fifty percent, it means that the Cang family divided the restaurant with me in half. What's more, this commercial building belongs to the Cang family.The rent can be increased maliciously at any time, or more seriously, what if they get arrogant and take back the commercial building?

    The restaurant she worked so hard to rebuild has gone to waste!

    It was at that time that I didn't mind making a comeback, so why would I just give up my well-earned livelihood to their Cang family?She is not related to the Cang family.

    Then Shi Cunqi and Mr. Shi still have the same surname Shi, haven't they all been ruthlessly driven out of Yueman Building?

    The lesson from the past is in front of us, and Chen Nianguan has to guard against it.

    The plan to find a shop from the Cang family????? just fell through.
