Chapter 13 Making Money is the Happiest

The next day, Mrs. Li told Mrs. Zhou that Li Xiaonuan and Gu Yunhuan were going to open a dim sum shop like a joke, and Mrs. Zhou shook her head with a smile and didn't pay much attention to it.

Li Xiaonuan called the end of the winter to come in, and told her her about her plans carefully, the end of the winter became excited, Li Xiaonuan looked at her with a smile and said:

"Originally, I thought about setting a monthly example for you, ten taels of silver a month, but then I thought about it, it's not appropriate to die, this month is ten taels of silver, maybe I have wronged you, so let's do it, you two people, get twenty percent of the dividends every year, and there will be nothing left."

At the end of winter, he looked at Li Xiaonuan with bright eyes, and his eyes narrowed into a line with a smile,

"Not so much, why so much? Five points is fine, there are two of us, and five points of bonus is enough, so I don't know how much more than now."

"Don't shirk it, this dividend is not easy to get, the business must be done well, you have to work very hard, if you really mess up, there will be no big money"

"Don't be so much, girl, there are no such rules, the shopkeeper of Yunshui is only a bonus of one percent a year, the two of us are not comparable to the shopkeeper of Yunshui, just five dividends, enough"

The end of the winter said seriously, Li Xiaonuan tilted his head and looked at the end of the winter, and only after a while sighed and nodded,

"Then five points, you five points, Ruan Dafu five points, no less, what kind of shop can be opened, I don't have a bottom in my heart, if it's good, forget it, if it's not good, it will affect the two of you."

"It must be a good girl who is so smart, what can she do to have a bad one?"

At the end of winter, he said firmly, and Li Xiaonuan laughed.

The next day, Mrs. Li carefully selected a capable old housekeeper, solemnly confessed, and asked him to come over to see Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan called the late winter couple to come over, and the four of them discussed carefully for a long time before letting the late winter couple and the old housekeeper go out to inquire about the market and find a shop.

For this money-making thing, Li Xiaonuan is full of energy.

The old steward took Ruan Dafu and looked at the large and small dim sum shops all over the capital one by one, early every morning, before people opened the door, they found a suitable place, squatted for a day, and remembered in detail the location and size of the shop, how many people came in and out a day, and which dim sum sold the best...... In the evening, the old housekeeper watched Ruan Dafu sort out the things he saw one day, wrote them down on paper one by one, handed them to the end of winter, and brought them to Li Xiaonuan the next day.

Li Xiaonuan quietly confessed to the end of winter, and asked Chaoyun to only use the excuse that he wanted to open a teahouse next to the dim sum shop, so he came over, and took the end of winter to run all over the big and small brokerage houses in the capital, looking for a suitable shop.

Li Xiaonuan finished the trivial things in the house, so he buried his head in the pieces of paper sent in at the end of winter, carefully sorted out and listed, and thought about the fresh snacks.

In the middle, Li Xiaonuan went to Zhengfu a few more times and discussed with Gu Yunhuan, Gu Yunhuan was also simply, only giving out money, and didn't care about anything, but whatever Li Xiaonuan said, it was fine

In August, Zheng Jiyu made a special trip to report the good news, Gu Yunhuan was pregnant, Mrs. Zhou's life had a new focus, she was excited and nervous, she was busy stewing this soup every day, making that kind of dim sum, and sending people over several times a day, Mrs. Li let her be busy and didn't pay attention to it.

The old housekeeper saw the shop, and reported it carefully to Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan discussed it with Mrs. Li again, Mrs. Li was more interested than Li Xiaonuan, so she simply took Li Xiaonuan and sat in a sedan chair, and walked around the front and back of the shop two or three times, and when she was satisfied, she settled down.

Chaoyun also set up a shop opposite the dim sum shop, and went down to prepare to open a teahouse.

Li Xiaonuan went to Zhengfu and told Gu Yunhuan the location, size, and price of the shop, Gu Yunhuan looked disgusted, and didn't want to listen to it at all, so he only waved his hand and said:

"Xiao Nuan, I told you, you just settle down, you don't have to tell me, I don't understand what I said, you just tell me, just tell me how much silver you want to take out."

Li Xiaonuan helplessly looked at Gu Yunhuan, who was completely letting go and leaving nothing to do, sighed, took the silver ticket, squinted at Gu Yunhuan and asked:

"I asked Ruan Da Fook to try a lot of fresh dim sum, I wanted to see the sample and send some to you to taste, but if I give it to you, I'm afraid it's not good, if I send some, I'm afraid ....... you know, if you let people learn it, it won't be rare when it opens, and I'll let people send some after it opens, okay?"

"But don't send it again, you see, my mother sends people soup and snacks several times a day, I am so nauseous every day that I want to vomit without eating, those things, smell uncomfortable, you can't send them anymore"

Gu Yunhuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, Li Xiaonuan laughed, and hurriedly comforted:

"It's only been two or three months of nausea, and then your appetite will be better, if you don't want to eat for a while, don't force yourself, as long as you feel comfortable, everything will be fine."

Gu Yunhuan nodded in disgust and agreed, Li Xiaonuan didn't sit much, said a few words, and got up to leave.

The shop was topped down, the old housekeeper watched people clean up from the inside out every day, at the end of winter and Chaoyun were busy selecting guys, according to Li Xiaonuan's ideas, he made clothes and came out, preparing all kinds of trivial things to be used in the shop, Ruan Dafu picked a few white cooks from the house, gave Mrs. Li, and prepared to take them to the shop to use, a few people stayed in the big kitchen every day, making all kinds of snacks according to Li Xiaonuan's description, and letting people send them to Yanshuxuan, Li Xiaonuan tasted it, and asked Ruan Dafu to redo it over and over again.

was busy until the beginning of September, Li Xiaonuan found someone to calculate the auspicious day, gave Mrs. Li, and set the opening on the eighth day of the ninth lunar month.

Li Xiaonuan instructed the end of winter and Chaoyun, two days before the opening, make some snacks with your heart, put them in the Suyun Hall, and give them to those little guys and long-term followers to taste, if you think it's good, please have the opportunity to mention a sentence to their respective masters.

At the beginning of September, Cheng Ke and Zhou Jingran rushed back to the capital in the dust, lived in the post house ****, and the next morning, they entered the palace to report the details of relief and persuasion to farmers, paid the messenger, and rushed back to the house.

Cheng Ke accompanied King Runan and the princess to dinner, so he went to King Jing's Mansion, went out with a few small servants, got off the horse at the side door of King Jing's Mansion, and told Nanhai to go in and pay homage to King Jing, and changed the car by himself.

The two touched Yanshuxuan, Luo Chuan looked at the movement in the left and right wings, Cheng Ke quietly moved to the window of the east chamber, Luo Chuan turned his back to Cheng Ke, looked around vigilantly, and secretly rejoiced, at the beginning of the month, it was cloudy again, and it was much more convenient to be dark.

Cheng Keshun took out the scimitar he was carrying, cut through the silk veil on the window, and looked into the room.

Li Xiaonuan has already bathed and washed, her hair is loosely braided into two, she is wearing a white silk shirt and pants, and her clothes are only embroidered with a few colorful butterflies on the cuffs and corners of the trousers.

Lan Chu spread out the materials on the bed, carefully selected them like Li Xiaonuan, and picked up materials to make clothes for the baby in Gu Yunhuan's belly.

Li Xiaonuan pulled out a piece of red silk yarn, held it in his hand and gestured, and said with a smile:

"Use this big red silk yarn to make small clothes, the second sister calculates that she should give birth to a child in May or June next year, and she just wears such silk clothes."

Lan Chu also pulled out a piece of pink and green silk,

"This piece of material is extremely positive in color and bright, girl, take a look?"

Li Xiaonuan nodded,

"Just these two pieces of material, you don't need to do more, children grow fast, a piece of clothing can't be worn a few times, it's going to be small, Mrs. has prepared a lot, let's just make two particularly delicate pieces with our hearts, it's a mind."

"No, the clothes prepared by Mrs. are changed three times a day, but I'm afraid I won't be able to wear them."

Lan Chu smiled and spoke, and beckoned the jade buckle and cicada wings to come over, leaving only two pieces of material, the big red silk yarn and the pink and green silk, and the rest were collected.

Li Xiaonuan gestured with two pieces of material, and commanded with a smile:

"I make this big red, you make the pink and green one, don't embroider, the finer the needle angle, the better, do it slowly with your heart, children are the most delicate."

Lan Chu pursed his lips and nodded with a smile,

"It's rare for a girl to be willing to use needlework."

"Hmm,"

Li Xiaonuan nodded heavily,

"I like children the most, when I was very young, the hands, the feet, especially the toes, the small ones like rice beads, and the ones that moved around, how fun and how fun they were, how much fun and how big they were, they would babble with you, you made him laugh, he would make you laugh, if you dared to provoke him, he would cry to show you how big it was, he would walk, alas, Lan Chu"

Li Xiaonuan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly,

"You see, the child who has just learned to walk, is trotting, or running diagonally, you see that he is going to fall down, but he just can't fall, no matter how big the fun is, he will be naughty......"

Lan Chu couldn't help but laugh out loud,

"Look at what the girl said, it was like...... It's like ......"

"Like you've had a baby?"

Li Xiaonuan took over the conversation with a smile, and Lan Chu nodded again and again,

"Not really"

Li Xiaonuan shook his head slightly, squinted his eyes and sighed,

"I haven't brought any children, I must bring a few more children in the future, if it's a boy, let him be naughty, if it's a girl, it's beautiful, delicate"

Cheng Ke almost laughed out loud when he heard it outside, and he hurriedly covered his mouth and bent down, shrugging his shoulders and laughing for a while before he straightened up and continued to peep into the room.

Lan Chu laughed for a while, put the two pieces of material into the sewing basket next to him, and said with a smile:

"Girl, let's rest early, I still have to be busy tomorrow, I ate those snacks very well, and the girl is picky and I don't know if Brother Ruan can do it tomorrow."

"These things are not very easy to do, the heat is a little worse, the taste is not right, there are so many dim sum shops in this capital, if we don't do it to the extreme, why should we gain a foothold in this capital to earn people's money?"
