In the next two days, Chen Nianguan asked Xiao You to sneak to Yangqiao Lane to inquire about Yang Jishan. He heard that Yang Jishan had injured his ankle.Whether it is necessary or not.

Well, now Yang Jishan can only be trapped in the Yang Mansion, and can't go to the academy to be a demon.

That's all there is to help Zeng Si, the rest is for him to be more self-sufficient.

Chen Nianguan turned his head and continued to run at both ends of the restaurant renovation and feather sideline business.

It has been more than a month since Carpenter Tan took over the renovation of the restaurant. The decoration work on the upper and lower floors of the store has been completed, and the work of the masons in the backyard has basically been completed. It is waiting for Chen Nianguan to check and accept.

The storefront on the first floor of the restaurant is just as Chen Nianguan wished. After the gate passes through the counter area, there are four semi-enclosed private rooms on the left and right. There are two rows of four tables in the lobby on the left, and a row of four tables on the right.There are only two sheets inside the back kitchen, and the vacated space is used for the smooth entry and exit of food delivery personnel from the back kitchen to the store, and the second is in the middle, facing the counter, and a new tea-making short L is piled up against the wall.The long case and the cabinet, the long case is made into a style that can accommodate things, and the dishes and tea cups can be stored in it. The long case is for hot water and tea making, and the long case is naturally used for temporary cookingwater.

The cabinet is divided into two areas, one area is made into a lattice room specially used to store different kinds of tea leaves, dried flowers and other tea-making materials, and the other area is used to store teapots, tea bowls and other related tea-making utensils.

Behind the tea table is a door leading to the backyard. Behind the door is the newly built water boiling area. At that time, the tea doctor and his assistants can go directly to the back to get water, which is convenient and quick.

As for the second floor, the box on the right is still unchanged, but on the left, a screen has been set up from the stairs leading up. This is the second lobby dedicated to receiving female guests.After the room, the original eight boxes had been dismantled, and the originally closed space suddenly opened up.

Unlike the lobby on the left of the first floor, there are no private rooms, but ten private seats, each of which is made of the same series of screens made of the leftover wooden boards from the dismantled box, and the tea-making area is built at the stairway, to make it easier for the tea doctor and the tea maker to run to the two boxes.

Because this place is also responsible for the function of hosting the lending venue, the screens placed there are all made in a movable mode, so as to meet the needs of the organizer at that time.

In this way, it is the entire storefront of the Chen Family Restaurant to entertain diners.

Two or three days later, Chen Nianguan expressed his satisfaction. The hardware is complete, and the rest is soft decoration. The next thing to do is to add some decorations, calligraphy and paintings for decoration.

The renovation progress of the back kitchen is relatively slow. Firstly, after the major renovation of the kitchen, the cabinets and countertops have to be designed according to local conditions. Secondly, besides the kitchen, Chen Nianguan also directly built a small mill with bricks and stones., and a hot water room together with the tea making area on the first floor.

The building of the small mill naturally took into account the process of grinding a lot of food. In addition to heating hot water in the hot water room, there is also cooking and disinfection of tableware.

After remodeling the back kitchen, Chen Nianguan also added an extra job to the mason, which was to build a kang in the wing room used as a staff room.

So when Carpenter Tan and others finished rebuilding and waited to get their wages, Carpenter He and masons were still rushing to work.

After Chen Nianguan finished the inspection, he readily settled the wages with Carpenter Tan first.

Carpenter Tan expressed his gratitude and politely said that if there is still room for improvement, he can call them to rework at any time.

For such a pro. craftsman, Chen Nianguan naturally expressed his admiration, and said goodbye to Carpenter Tan and others in a friendly way.After the restaurant was unsealed, Chen Nianguan met Chen Nianguan with a smile on his face.

"This is Dong Yu's family?"

After buying the restaurant, Chen Nianguan inquired about the shop next door.

This shop at the end of Suchuan Road is Yu's bakery.

Probably because of the light of the previous spring breeze, every time there are distinguished guests who come to the spring breeze, when they leave, they will buy some pastries from the Yu family to return home, or give them as rewards or gifts, so although the pastries of the Yu family are not visible, the location of the shopIt's not too good, but relying on the spring breeze, it survived in Capital City.

It's just that after Chunfengli was seized, the number of diners who came to this street for entertainment naturally decreased, and the business of Yu's bakery naturally became deserted. After more than a year, they were basically living on their own.

In fact, Chen Nianguan is very strange, why, like Chunfengli, a restaurant that caters to wealthy and powerful families, silently ignores Yu's pastry and becomes a vassal to achieve a win-win situation.

After inquiring, found out that the Yu family seems to be opened by the family of the most beloved concubine of the Marquis AnShun family. Marquis AnShun likes to eat the cakes made by the concubine, and by the way, he also acquiesced in the pastry shop opened by the Yu family next to his nephew's restaurant.

The restaurant was recorded under the name of Marquis Anshun, so of course it was confiscated, but the deed of the pastry shop belonged to the concubine's natal family, so it was safe and sound.

Dong Yu's family of Yu's bakery is the concubine's father, seeing Chen Nianguan greeting him, he simply opened the shop door.

Since the accident at Marquis AnShun, not only has there been no previous customers, but now the neighbors are avoiding their family, fearing that they will suffer disasters for nothing. Chen Nianguan took the initiative to greet him with a smile and be friendly, and the Yu family is no longer afraid.

"You are the owner who bought this restaurant, Mrs. Chen?"

"That's right, we will be neighbors from now on, please take care of Mr. Yu."

Yu Dongjia forced a smile.

He has known for a long time that one of the owners who bought this restaurant is Mrs. Chen.

After the business plummeted, Yu Dong's family had a lot of time to sit in the restaurant, and naturally they were very familiar with every group of people who entered and left the restaurant every day.

Originally, he wanted to rent out the shop, but the tenants who came didn't know about his relationship with Marquis Anshun, and when they saw Chunfengli being raided next to him, they all gave up the lease.

All because of low popularity.

Dong Yu's family is guarding a shop but can't make money!

Now, seeing someone remodeling a restaurant, thought in heart that maybe by taking advantage of the wind of the newcomer to the restaurant, could attract some diners to patronize pastry shop.

Chen Nianguan chatted with Yu Dong's family, seeing that Yu Dong's family is not a bad person, talking about the pastry making well, Chen Nianguan also talked about the dim sum and pastries that the restaurant will serve in the future, very familiar.

After that, Dong Yu's family was on pins and needles.

When Spring Breeze was still open a while ago, their Yu family cakes would also be specially supplied to the restaurant, but if this newly opened restaurant still sells their own cakes, will their own cakes still be sold by then?

With such an anxiety, lost the intention of talking.

Chen Nianguan smiled and said, "The restaurant will open at that time, and Mr. Yu's family is also welcome to visit our restaurant, eat dim sum from our restaurant, and give some suggestions for improvement."

Dongjia Yu forced a smile.

Chen Nianguan turned to inquire about the business of Yu Dong's family, "I think the pastries made by Yu Dong's family are quite good, why is there no one in front of the shop?"

This touched Yu Dong's family's heart, but Yu Dong's family felt bitter, but dared not speak out.

You must know that this shop was also begged for by her daughter's filial piety after she was favored by Marquis AnShun.

That's right, this shop was given to my concubine by Marquis Anshun, and then the concubine gave it to my father.

It can be said that without Marquis Anshun, Dong Yu's family wouldn't have this shop??????

When Marquis Anshun didn't have an accident, his vassal's business was booming. After Marquis Anshun's accident, he saw the officers and soldiers raiding the restaurant.

I just thought that my daughter was implicated in the accident of Marquis Anshun, and she is still in prison waiting to be released, but I am still guarding the shop given to me by my daughter. Dong Yu's family is full of arrows, so I don't have much interest in revitalizing Yu's bakery.Seeing the business slow down day by day.

"Yu Dong's family?"

Yu Dongjia recovered from his trance and forced a smile.

Chen Nianguan went to Yu's pastry shop and took a look. It was okay if he didn't look at it.

This shop is about half the size of a restaurant, but only has one floor, but the layout is similar, with the shop at the front and the yard at the back.

Didn't Shi Cunqi complain about the demolition of half of the private room on the second floor?If this store is remodeled, wouldn't it be possible to expand the scale of the restaurant?

Chen Nianguan has also observed Dong Yu's house these days, and seeing him muddling along, he hired a clerk in the store, and sometimes he only made one deal a day, and he didn't see him in a hurry, so he knew that this Yu Dong's family had already treated him well.I have lost interest in my pastry business.

If she said to discuss cooperation with him, what is his intention?I wonder if he is willing to sell it?

Chen Nianguan calculated the size of the store, and compared with his own restaurant, he estimated that the lowest price might be 10,000 taels.

Does she have money?

Hmm, of course there are.

Because Liu He came to Capital City recently and brought her 5,000 taels from the Liu family. She also made down jacket series and made more than 4,000 taels. Therefore, if Mr. Yu is willing to sell for 10,000 taels, sheI borrowed some money from Liu Feng, who has made a lot of money recently, and I'm sure I can buy it.

But, is Mr. Yu willing?Chen Nianguan hesitated.

What if she said she wanted to buy the other party's shop, but the other party didn't want to, and then found out that she coveted his shop, and there would be a rift between the two next door to do business in the future, right?

But, if you don't try, she won't give up!

"Boss Yu, look, you can't make a living this way, you have to find a way to attract customers?" Chen Nianguan began to inquire cautiously, "Otherwise, your pastries won't be sold and you won't be able to earn money!"

"Hey, it doesn't matter if the pastry is sold or not. I just want to do something every day." Dong Yu's family is guarding the shop and mainly waiting for news from his daughter. As for the customers, they wait for the restaurant to open.It's something that can bring prosperity, and he doesn't expect anything else.

"Isn't that a waste of such a good shop?" Chen Nianguan lamented, "If I had such a shop, I would definitely take care of it properly."

Yu Dongjia laughed, "Shouldn't Mrs. Chen start making a living in the restaurant first?"

"Hey, the owner of the restaurant is watching over me. What else can I do?" Chen Nianguan asked with a smile, jokingly said, "Boss Yu, if you can sell the store to me, I'm sureLet you see how I manage this store."

Yu Dongjia's heart skipped a beat.

He doesn't have any interest in doing pastry business at all, and this shop can't be rented out. If Master Chen really buys it seriously, he might be able to earn a lot of money.

Because, in the first place, this shop was not worth a penny.

There must be enough money and silver, and the government will file a case at that time. Whether it wants to redeem her daughter or buy it back, there is also a basis for operation.

"Oh, how much does Madam Chen think this shop is worth?"

Chen Nianguan was delighted when he heard the joke, and he went up and down pretending to be an old man, looked around the shop inside and out, pondered for a moment, and tried to ask for a price: "How about eight thousand taels?"

Yu Dongjia was almost not taken aback by this number: "You, how much do you say?"

"Eight thousand taels."

When she asked for a price, she naturally set it at a low price, so she had to beware that the other party raised the price too high, and she couldn't afford it.

If you go for the lowest reserve price of 10,000 taels, you will naturally have to ask for a price lower than 10,000 taels.

Yu Dongjia gasped.

It turned out that the daughter said that the shop was valuable and asked him to guard it carefully, which was true.

This shop is actually worth 8,000 taels?

Dong Yu's family also came from a small family, so they didn't learn pastry making in the traditional sense, but because their wife was a servant in the house of a big family, she learned a little craft, and was later sold when she was old.Not worth a few bucks.

Dong Yu's family was also poor because they couldn't find a good family, and they got older, so they had no choice but to take the road of buying a wife. They happened to meet her eyes, and after buying and selling their slave status, they became husband and wife.

Because of the lady's craftsmanship, at first she sold cakes and cakes in ordinary markets, and gradually gained a reputation, she rented a shop to do this job exclusively.

The cooking skills learned by Dong Yu's family were all taught by his wife. The daughter followed the couple since she was a child, and likes to eat pastries and pancakes, so she naturally followed suit.

As a result, by chance, Marquis Anshun fell in love with this craft, and saw that his daughter was not bad, so he accepted it into the mansion.

An accident happened to Marquis Anshun, his daughter was imprisoned, and his wife went away in a hurry, so Dong Yu's family completely lost the intention of running a pastry shop. The only hope now is to hope that her daughter will be released from prison safe and sound.

The reason why Dong Yu's family is Dong Yu's is because of his daughter's blessing, so he is lucky enough to have such a large shop. Naturally, this is the first time he heard about the huge amount of money of 8,000 taels.Senseless.

Eight thousand taels was enough for him to buy a small room in the corner where he lived in the outer city.

Yu Dong's family was dizzy for a while before recovering, no, no, no, this money has to be saved for her daughter's ransom.

He has been visiting his daughter in the prison for a long time this year. He heard that the implicated female relatives, who have connections, have found someone and fished them out. He wants eight thousand taels, but he can open the way.Do you want to save your daughter from the sea of suffering?

Yu Dong's family was completely moved.

"Ms. Chen said eight thousand taels, are you serious?"

"Of course it is serious. If you are willing to sell Yu Dong's family, I can bring eight thousand taels over tomorrow."

Chen Nianguan was surprised.

Hey, she got lucky recently. She sold down jackets to raise the price and waited for someone to lower the price, but no one lowered the price.her?

"Okay, tomorrow, bring eight thousand taels, and I'll give you the deed for this shop tomorrow."

Chen Nianguan was stunned by the sudden happiness.

On the second day, when he handed over 8,000 taels to Yu Dong's family, holding the deed in his hand, Chen Nianguan didn't recover for a long time!

Done?That's it?

She just tried to ask, really, so easily, without even asking for 10,000 taels, she bought this shop easily?

Could it be that there is something wrong with this shop?

Chen Nianguan thought of buying the restaurant next door, but it took him more than a month to buy it. Today, it took only two days to buy the shop next door?

The shop is fine, that is, I have recently possessed a koi?

Because of this, Chen Nianguan was smiling all day long, and he was happy!

Should she tell them that her Master Chen is now the owner of two shops in Capital City?

Stop it, what if it is too enviable?

After five days, Dong Yu's family will officially move out, let's wait for the right time to talk about it!

Chen Nianguan then began to secretly design how to use this shop, hoping to surprise everyone.

Like Chen Nianguan, there is Liu Feng who has the same wealth, too much happiness and troubles.

Ever since Liu He came to the capital and lived in a wing room with him, he has been worrying all day that the fact that he has a huge sum of money with him might be discovered by him and confiscated.

Therefore, after handing over the down jacket and quilt ordered by Liu Fuan to Liu Quanman today, he sat in the teahouse and looked at the silver bill of more than three thousand taels.

More than thirty hundred taels of silver bills, the goal is big, he took them back to the wing room, where should he hide them?

With a bitter face, Liu Feng stared at the banknote delivered to the door and thought deeply, letting his little head think about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a good idea.

"Mr. Liu Xiaolang, is there a problem with this bank note?" Liu Quanman looked at Liu Feng's sad face, and didn't quite understand why this little man had received so many bank notes of three thousand taels, and was still miserable.

"The bank note is fine, it's just..." Liu Feng scratched his head, then looked at Liu Quanman, "I just don't know how to deal with it!"

Liu Quanman laughed, this Mr. Liu Xiaolang really knows how to joke!

Use it to eat, drink and have fun, save it in a bank, or use it to buy a house or yard!

It's only three thousand taels, so worrying like this!

"Buy a house?" Liu Feng had a flash of inspiration after hearing Liu Quanman's suggestion.

"No, no, no, I don't think so. For three thousand taels, you can only buy a small courtyard in the outer city, or a courtyard with a bad location." Liu Quanman, who was promoted to an investment consultant, shook his head.

"Then I have more than three thousand taels, what can I buy?"

"If you're in the outskirts of Beijing, you can barely buy a small farm."

"Ha! The farm, that's all!" Liu Feng was suddenly proud.

He just heard from his cousin not long ago that the outskirts of Capital City's farm households' income products have been ordered by restaurants in the city. If he bought a farm by himself, wouldn't he be able to hire people to farm the land?

Liu Feng sat next to Liu Quanman with a smile, and put his arms around his shoulders: "Little Steward Liu, you work alongside Xiao Seventh Master, you must be very familiar with the farms outside of Capital City, right?"

"Yeah, not too familiar."

Hearing Liu Feng mentioning Xiao Seventh Master without any scruples, Liu Quanman's eyelids twitched, "Barely, I can give Liu Xiaolang a little advice."

"That's good."

"Why don't you, for the sake of my friendship with your boss, Xiao Seventh Master, ask me if there is a good farm outside the capital city, and if there is one, just buy it for me, okay?"

"This matter, I naturally have to inquire about it before I can reply to Mr. Liu Xiaolang."

"Okay!" Liu Feng stuffed more than 30 hundred taels of silver bills back into Liu Quanman's hand, "These are the money I bought for the farm, and they will be temporarily deposited with you, Liu Xiaoguan., please help me keep it well, and when you find a farm with a suitable price, you can buy it for me."

"This..." Liu Quanman was stunned. Isn't this three thousand two hundred and fifty taels a payment for goods?So Liu Xiaolang-jun entrusted him to keep it?Aren't you afraid of swallowing it yourself?

Ah no, Mr. Liu Xiaolang has Xiao, ah bah, with the backing of the sage, he naturally dare not take it for himself, otherwise, his godfather will not spare him.

With a mournful face, Liu Quanman brought a cart full of down jackets and duvet quilts back to the palace.

When reporting to Liu Fuan, Liu Fuan rewarded his godson with two sets of clothes and a quilt, and asked him to reward the corresponding father-in-law on the famous list.

Liu Quanman put on the fabled down jacket for the first time, and it felt warm and soft, and he felt much more comfortable. Then he told his godfather about Liu Feng asking him to find a farm.

"Heh, I'm afraid he is seeking benefits from our family." Liu Fuan laughed and was angry at the same time thinking of Liu Feng.

"Hey?" Really?Why does Liu Quanman think that Mr. Liu Xiaolang doesn't look like he wants to benefit?

"This little ruffian dares to play tricks to get benefits from the Holy Majesty. This time, he has done a good job for our family. I'm afraid he also wants to get something." Liu Fuan snorted coldly, and the whisk flew up, "HeIf you want it, then give it to him! Our family does not lack a mere farm, you go and pick a better one and give it to him."

"Then, this, this bank note?" Liu Quanman took out the bank note that was supposed to be delivered to Liu Feng, "Godfather, Mr. Liu Xiaolang, said that these bank notes are the money to pay for the farm."

"He can be a man." Liu Fuan looked at the banknote and smiled, "Since he returned it, you can keep it!"

"Hey, thank you godfather." Liu Quanman happily put away all the bank notes.

Two days later, Liu Quanman brought Liu Feng to a farm in the outskirts of Capital City.

The farm is located in the eastern suburbs, surrounded by farmers in Kyoto and the Zhuangzi of powerful families. The geographical location is very good. It is said that the nearby farmland is very fertile and has a high output.

And the farm is not as small as Liu Feng imagined, it is almost as big as ten acres of land. Once you enter the farm, it is a piece of farmland. On the way to the village, you will pass a lotus pond covering an area of about one mu.He traced, only to see a thick layer of ice forming on the surface.

From the lotus pond around a field of flowers with bare poles, it is Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi is a sophomore with a compact layout, and there is a small garden in the backyard.

Because of the cold weather, only the steward's family and some servants lived in it.

"Look, this is the manager of the field, and these servants are all working in this farm, and now they all belong to Mr. Liu Xiaolang."

Liu Quanman told Liu Feng one by one about the people in the farm.

"You mean, they all work for me?" Liu Feng stared blankly, he didn't expect to buy a Zhuangzi, but he also bought people.

"Of course." Liu Quanman smiled.

"But, what else should I arrange for them to do?" Liu Feng scratched his head as he looked at the stewards and servants who were respectful to him.

"There is no need for Mr. Liu Xiaolang to worry about this aspect. The manager of the field will take care of the things in the farm clearly, and will report everything to Mr. Liu Xiaolang. At that time, Mr. Liu will only be responsible for collecting income, collecting money, whatever he thinks.When you come to Zhuangzi, you can come to Zhuangzi at any time, and you can do anything with Zhuangzi."

Liu Quanman got the more than three thousand taels of silver that should have been given to Liu Feng, and he was also extremely courteous.

The farmland near this farm was bought by Liu Feng together, a total of 20 mu of land, that is to say, the farm that Liu Feng bought this time has a total of 30 mu.

Owning Zhuangzi and farmland just outside Beijing, Liu Feng felt that he was about to become the chief landlord in Capital City.

Grabbing the document that was said to have passed Ming Road and registered the red deed in the prefecture and county, Liu Feng kept patting Liu Quanman's shoulders with a smile: "That's right, that's right, Manager Xiao Liu can do more than your godfather!"

"Where is that, our family is no match for godfather." Liu Quanman nodded and shook his head in joy and fear, "Since Mr. Liu Xiaolang is satisfied, remember to give us more in front of our godfather and Xiao Seventh Master."A few words."

"sure."

This day, Liu Feng returned to Xianggui Street with the deed of Zhuangzi's farmland in his arms, walking with the wind, twisting his body so happily.

Hey, if you don't carry three thousand taels on your body, you don't have to worry about being discovered by Liu He!

Now the young master is also a man who owns property in Capital City, well, not to mention making a lot of money every day, but heard from Manager Liu that if it is planted in the next spring and other places, the harvest will not be small.

When the time comes to sell it to your own restaurant, won't you be able to get money properly!

A small amount of money flows slowly, and when saved up, it is also a lot of money.

Bouncing into Xianggui Street, also saw cousin who was proud of the spring breeze with almond eyes, and walked over quickly a few times.

"cousin!"

"Cousin!"

I was intoxicated by the fact that I own the Capital City farm, and I smiled at my cousin who was secretly delighted that I had an extra shop, hehe, they went back to their rooms.

Chen Nianguan went to the restaurant to monitor the progress of the renovation. He also visited the store he just bought, asked Xiao You and Si Ya to help measure the size, and went to the backyard for field inspection.

The shop is very close to the restaurant. How about converting the shop into a dining area?still is……

Chen Nianguan thought of the layout of the restaurant, then thought about the purpose of the shop, painted and painted, and finally changed the construction plan of the shop.

"what is this?"

Zhang Erlang didn't know when he came in. He sat aside and saw the layout drawn by Chen Nianguan.

Chen Nianguan glanced at her husband, and smiled slyly, "Husband, do you know that now your wife and I are making great progress!"

"Oh, let's hear it." Zhang Erlang smiled, and pulled his wife into his arms, picked up the layout plan, and found that it was a shop on the first floor, and looked down at her: "You bought a shop again? Spend all the money?"

I have been with Chen Nianguan for a long time, so naturally understand that she has money on hand and wants to spend it to make a living.

But fortunately, the lady is quite insightful about doing business, and every time she spends money, she will earn back doubled.

Isn't that how the mother-in-law's family started little by little?

The former son Liu He went to Beijing and brought the profit share from his mother-in-law, and Wan Wan could not bear it anymore.

"How do you know I bought it? Maybe I rented it?"

"If you rent it, you won't rebuild it."

"The one who knows me is not my husband!" Chen Nianguan laughed, "I really bought another store, and I bought it at a very low price. Husband, tell me, your wife, am I right?"very smart?"

"Smart, my wife is the smartest in the world." Zhang Erlang tapped Chen Nianguan's nose, looked at the blueprint, "Buy the shop in the outer city?"

"Inner City, if you don't believe me, you can buy it next to the newly opened restaurant." Chen Nianguan looked at Zhang Erlang with air.

"The last one at the end of Suchuan Road? Yu's bakery?"

"Husband, how do you know?"

"I've heard it mentioned before." Zhang Erlang smiled lightly, "I remember, the owner seems to be related to Marquis AnShun?"

"Ok!"

Chen Nianguan told him about Dong Yu's selling the store at a low price to him, and then he also talked about his plan.

Originally, it was planned to convert the shop into private rooms, but in this way, the shop can only be a vassal of the restaurant.

"And I have other uses for this store, so I won't change it, but plan to knock down and rebuild the store in front, and add two floors."

Chen Nianguan consulted Shi Cunqi and knew that a three-story building was the maximum limit allowed for merchants and civilians to build buildings in this dynasty, and he planned to go to Jingzhao Mansion to file for the record soon.

On the other side of the restaurant, the private rooms are also on the second floor. The shop was expanded into three floors, the second floor was built into private rooms, and the third floor was made into a large wing room in the form of a venue.

"Firstly, it is naturally to make up for the capacity of the eight private rooms that I demolished. Secondly, I will build a large wing room with a high view and make it a place for recreation. You can invite some theater troupes over.The diners can watch the show while eating." Chen Nianguan looked at Zhang Erlang, "And you bookboys, you can also rent this venue, hold poetry and tea parties, and so on, then it will serve multiple purposes."

Looking at the pattern diagram, Zhang Erlang smiled and nodded slightly.

"What about the first floor?"

"Of course there will be stairs on the first floor to the second and third floors, but customers can only come from the restaurant, because usually I plan to seal the second floor and the first floor, because I plan to..." Chen Nianwan laughedGet up, lay in Zhang Erlang's arms, "Husband, guess what I plan to do with it?"

Zhang Erlang thought for a while, "Well, it's for a sugar shop?"

"Why do you build a sugar shop? People who want to eat sugar water will be able to find it in the restaurant." Chen Nianguan shook his head, "However, the west wing next to the restaurant can be converted into a kitchen dedicated to making sugar water.When summer comes, you can also make cool drinks.”

"Well, my husband knows what you want to change the shop into!"

"what?"

"icehouse!"

"Husband, you are amazing! You guessed it right." Chen Nianguan smiled.

As a person who once watched his cousin run a big hotel, he naturally had to think clearly about the ins and outs of the restaurant's opening.

The storefront of a restaurant is an important environment for providing meals - isn't the restaurant now being remodeled towards this goal!

The supply and purchase of food materials are important conditions - contacted Master Cang's family's farm and Shi Cunqi, and bought wasteland in Ping'erzhuang to build a chicken farm and a duck farm. That's the reason!

A waiter serving diners, a waiter, and a reliable shopkeeper are all necessary conditions—isn’t Shi Erye the reliable shopkeeper?????? Reliable shopkeepers are recruiting reliable buddies and waiters!

The kitchen team and high-level gourmet food supply are the key—well, on this point, she and Liu Yun have trained reserve cooks early on!

But warehousing and cold chain are always a link that cannot be ignored.

Having an ice cellar is necessary for catering, especially in this world where there is no effective storage of ingredients.

Firstly, it can store and keep the ingredients fresh for a longer storage period; secondly, it can provide more cold drinks and delicacies in summer; thirdly, it is natural to consider cooling down during the hot season and creating a good dining environment. This is a valuable experience in the successful operation of Tangshui Shop.

Finally, ice is a luxury item. Considering that Master Chen saved so much money by buying ice, she was able to buy a restaurant, and it was also thanks to her decision to build an ice cellar in Prefecture City this summer to sell ice for a living.

How could she let go of such a lucrative industry?How could it be possible not to take advantage of the winter now to build an ice cellar early, wait for the dog days to cut the ice and come back, and store it for the next wave of ice sales to make a lot of money?

Chen Nianguan smiled beautifully just thinking about it.

She opened the last link of the restaurant, and when the ice cellar was built, it was tantamount to completion.

As for the most pro. person in restaurant business in this dynasty, who else is she, Master Chen?

Seeing his wife smiling like a flower, Zhang Erlang felt itchy in his heart, couldn't help but hugged her waist, and hugged her into the warm quilt: "Wan Wan!"

Seeing Zhang Erlang's face approaching, Chen Nianguan couldn't help but put his arms around his neck.

Shrouded in his breath, feeling his gentle lingering on her body, when he was about to go further, she hastily stretched out her hand to his chest: "No, no, no!"

"Why?"

Chen Nianguan did the math, yes, these few days are his own dangerous period.

"Yulang, we discussed it when we first got married. I'm still young, so I can't have a child too early, right?"

"Is this related to my desire to enjoy London with you now?" Zhang Erlang had to stop.

Chen Nianguan nodded.

"What's the reason?" Zhang Er was puzzled.

He had never heard any doctor say that.

Chen Nianguan naturally couldn't explain it clearly to him, so he kissed him on the cheek with a slap: "Your wife's reasoning, believe it or not?"

Zhang Erlang smiled, helplessly, and held his wife's hand: "What Wan Wan said, my husband will of course believe it."

I just don't know, where did my wife's reasoning come from?

Zhang Erlang bit his wife's warm lips, lay down, took her into his arms, and fell asleep quietly after a while.

The second day was a snowy day.

And Chen Nianguan also found that his aunt had come after waking up, now it's all right, he can lie on the bed directly after changing clothes.

But Zhang Erlang couldn't.

"The industrious Juren master must study diligently to have the opportunity to be the number one scholar!"

Hearing how his wife was lying comfortably in the quilt, Zhang Erlang teased himself so proudly, he couldn't help pinching her little face, and then went to the study resentfully.

After sitting in the study, opened the window, and saw snowflakes floating outside, falling one after another, getting bigger and bigger.

He read it for a long time before sitting back in front of the desk, picked up the scroll and read it.

The snow that started that day fell for two consecutive days.

Even on the third day, it didn't stop. It wasn't until after noon that the snow slowly started to lighten up. Capital City was completely covered in silver, and even the entire Xianggui Street was covered with snow.

Tao bo, two handymen, and two beasts went to the street to clear snow.

People in the yard are shoveling snow.

After a while, Qimu led Cang Monan in: "Mr. Zhang, Master Chen, Mr. Cang is here."

Chen Nianguan was in better health, and was lying in the room looking at the snow scene in the courtyard through the window. Zhang Erlang came out to treat the guests and welcomed him into the study.

Cang Monan walked into this newly furnished study room, looked at the shelves full of books, and the pictures of Confucius and sages pasted on the wall, and then looked at the book cases separated on both sides, the envy in his eyes was fully revealed.

In this dynasty, later merchants were not allowed to participate in the scientific examination.

Therefore, although Cang Monan was born in a wealthy family, and his family has asked his master to teach him since he was a child, he has never been able to gain fame. Therefore, when he met Zhang Er and Zeng Si, he would be so respectful that he even devoted himself to spreading the knowledge.Wealth and ties, in order to stabilize the Cang family connections and status.

Zhang Erlang asked Daohe to make hot tea, and invited Cang Monan to sit down at the coffee table next to the desk and discuss in detail.

It turned out that Cang Monan came to order down clothes and duvet quilts.

It snowed heavily in the past two days, and the temperature dropped sharply. The Cang family who ordered down jackets and quilts from Chen Nianguan deeply realized the benefits of these clothes. In addition, the snow may start to melt today, or it may be colder, so came to Chen Nianguan again.Order more quilts and clothes.

"For one thing, my grandmother was afraid of the cold and wanted to order a few more pieces. When I talked to Mrs. Chen last time, she said there were thin and thick styles. Previously, I ordered thin styles, so today I want to order thicker ones."

Cang Monan said, and handed the order and the order to Zhang Erlang.

Zhang Erlang glanced at it, and roughly calculated the number, twenty pieces of clothes, two beds covered with quilts.

"Young Master Cang, don't worry, I will pass it on to Guanniang later, and instruct the embroidery house to make the batch of goods you want, Young Master Cang."

Cang Monan heard that Zhang Erlang directly referred to the clothes he wanted to order as goods, and he had to sigh that his grandfather was right, this Mrs. Chen didn't trust the Cang family, and she developed the clothes into a business by herself.

After exchanging greetings with Zhang Erlang, Cang Monan left.

For this generous man who rented the courtyard to his family, Zhang Erlang sent him to the door politely and thoughtfully, and saw Jiang Yu just coming down from the carriage parked at the door: "Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Yu got out of the car and took a deep breath, wisps of white mist exuded.

"You live here, let me find it easy!"

When Cang Monan saw the Jiang family emblem on Jiang Yu's carriage, his eyes lit up, Jiang family?It can't be, the Jiang family in Capital City, right?The person who had gone out immediately came back: "Second brother Zhang, who is this?"

Zhang Erlang glanced at Cang Monan and smiled faintly.

Cang Monan laughed awkwardly, and looked at Jiang Yu familiarly: "This Young Master Jiang looks familiar, I wonder if he is the son of Jiang Shilang's family?"

Jiang Yu shook his head.

"Oh!" Cang Monan smiled and bowed again to leave.

It's not from Jiang Shilang's family, but the surname is Jiang, and it also uses the family crest of Jiang Xianfei's natal Jiang family. Could it be a collateral line?

Then think about it again, isn't Concubine Jiang Xian's natal family the same as Jiang's family in the prefecture of Chuzhou?Isn't Funing County the county under the jurisdiction of Chuzhou Prefecture?Isn't Zhang Erlang from Funing County?

So, does Zhang Erlang have something to do with the gentleman in the Jiang family of Concubine Jiang Xian's natal family?

Cang Monan immediately became excited, and turned around to find out which son of the Jiang family in Chuzhou prefecture came to Capital City, and then found out that the eldest son of the Jiang family, Jiang Yu High School Chuzhou Township Examination Yayuan, came to Capital City to take the exam.

"Presumably, that person is Chuzhou Yayuan. Why is he looking for Zhang Erlang?"

Like Cang Monan, Jiang Yu also came for down clothes.

Those who asked the Jiang family to find down jackets included colleagues from Jiang Shilang's household department, and some aristocratic sons who wanted to order two sets for themselves after seeing that the down jackets he wore in the snow were indeed warm in the Imperial College.They are the best friends and sisters who are unwilling to be left behind after the cousin sister showed off in the heavy snow these two days.

"Also," Jiang Yu coughed dryly, "I want to order a set of high-quality Shu brocade quilts."

"You want the Shu brocade quilt, there are ready-made ones, do you know if it's suitable?"

Jiang Yu was talking to Zhang Erlang about his request, when Chen Nianguan got bored in the room and came over.

When entering the study, Zhang Erlang walked over to give her a hand.

Looking at the appearance of this newly married couple, Jiang Yu's heart froze for a moment.

Because of Shen Fan's relationship, he naturally got acquainted with Chen Nianjian. In Imperial College, because they were all from Chuzhou, he also had contacts with Chen Nianjian and others.

He started to come to Capital City after high school, and naturally he had never heard of their marriage. Until recently, he suddenly heard from Chen Nianjian that the fourth daughter of the Chen family married Zhang Yulang as early as September.

At that time, he still seemed to be listening to other people's affairs, and didn't feel much about it. Until this moment, when he saw her standing with Zhang Er, he always saw a man in a gentleman's attire, wearing a lady's clothes, holding a woman's armIn a bun, a feeling that can't be understood or explained hit his internal organs, his mind was in a mess, and only one sentence came out: So, she is really married!

"Master Jiang?"

Chen Nianguan called Du Juan and told her to go to the embroidery room to get the brocade quilt from Sichuan. Turning around, seeing Jiang Yu in a trance, he called again: "Mr. Jiang, are you alright?"

Jiang Yu collected himself and didn't even dare to look directly at Chen Nianguan: "It's okay, Miss Chen... Mrs. Chen, just now, what did you say?"

A sentence of Mrs. Chen was like a sharp knife, which cut his heart bleeding.

"A down cotton quilt made of Shu brocade." Chen Nianguan took the set of cotton quilts and brought them to Jiang Yu: "Take a look, does it fit?"

In fact, this cotton quilt was the one she wanted to sell to Shi Cunqi before, but she didn't.

Jiang Yu touched it quickly, nodded, "Wrap it up for me, I'll take it away in a while."

So Chen Nianguan turned around and went to the embroidery room with Du Juan to pack the Shu brocade cotton quilt.

Only then did Jiang Yu seem to be able to catch his breath, he let out a long sigh of relief, noticed a line of sight staring at him, turned his head, and saw Zhang Erlang glanced at him faintly.

Jiang Yu felt ashamed suddenly.

"Master Jiang, come over and have a cup of tea first!"

"No!" Jiang Yu turned around and walked out of the study. Looking at the snow-covered courtyard, he couldn't help but regret his visit.

After a while, Chen Nianguan took out the down cotton quilt and handed it to the servant next to Jiang Yu.

"Young Master Jiang, it will take ten days before we can pick up the rest of the clothes."

"Okay, then, I'll send someone over to get it."

Jiang Yu nodded slightly at Chen Nianguan, and hurriedly walked towards the door. Chen Nianguan was about to send him off when he was stopped by Zhang Erlang who came out of the study.

"Wan Wan, aren't you feeling well? I'll just go see Jiang Yu off."

Chen Nianguan then stopped.

When Zhang Erlang quickly chased to the door, he saw that Jiang Yu had already boarded the carriage, so he still said, "The road is slippery in snowy weather, please be careful, Mr. Jiang!"

As the same gentleman, how can he not understand Jiang Yu's emotions just now?

Zhang Erlang turned his head, walked into the vertical flower gate, looked at Chen Nianguan at the other end of the corridor from a distance, and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he met Wan Wan earlier than anyone else!

And Wan Wan's husband is him, not any other husband!

"Husband, is he gone?"

Zhang Erlang nodded.

"Hmm!" Chen Nianguan felt that Jiang Yu's reaction just now was a bit strange. After thinking about it, he glanced at the smug Zhang Erlang again, and didn't go into it further.

"Wan Wan!" Zhang Erlang stretched out his hand, took the woman's hand and led him into the house, "Didn't you say you were uncomfortable? Why didn't you go back into the house?"

"Okay!" Chen Nianwan smiled and walked slowly towards the main compartment by him.

At the other end of the embroidery room, Du Juan glanced at it and silently closed the window.

Turning her head, she saw Ding Xiang raised her head and glanced at her, then lowered her head and began to embroider with a needle and thread.
