In July and September, I reported that a lot of small things in the shop were sold, especially from the Liuniang embroidery workshop, which was very popular, and the complete sets of porcelain, as well as those wood carving crafts, are now almost exhausted. As for the complete sets of furniture, there are also twelve or thirteen sets, two sets of study rooms, four sets of baby rooms, one set of large flower halls, and the rest are all arranged in the newlyweds' rooms, most of which are dowries. There is another family that moved to a new house and wanted to order some furniture, but because Banniang was not there, the two girls had no confidence in the end, so they said that they would wait for Banniang to come back and invite guests to discuss.

In this way, the profit of the family alone is 4,000 yuan. Banniang smiled and said hard: "I also brought some good things to you two girls from Quanzhou, they are all on the sister-in-law's side, you will go to the shop a little later tomorrow, and you will also go to the sister-in-law to get it." ”

After speaking, he sent the two of them to sleep first, and she was not worried that she was sitting alone, so she had to stay on the side to serve, and she was also driven away by Banniang.

When she was the only one left in the room, while waiting for Ah Lan, who returned late, she touched the letterhead in her sleeve, and was stunned when she heard the creak of the door opening outside.

Seeing that the light was on in the room, Ah Lan asked softly, "Miss Eight, you haven't slept yet, have you?" ”

"Is Alan back?" The eighth sister responded, "Come in and talk." ”

I saw a silver and green Bafu skirt, wearing a moon-white cardigan, primrose-colored armor, looking fresh and neat, Ah Lan lifted the blue bamboo curtain, and stepped in with a surprised smile.

Seeing that there was only one Baniang in the house, Ah Lan said angrily: "Why is it that my sister is not comfortable here in July and September?" ”

Banniang smiled: "They have been busy for a day, I have nothing to do here, I want to be alone, they have to get up early to go to the shop tomorrow, so I sent them to bed early." I was thinking of waiting for you to come back and talk, so I sat down. ”

Asked Ah Lan if he was hungry again, Ah Lan smiled and said, "I ate some in the restaurant before I came back, and I was not hungry." ”

Seeing that the tea on Banniang's table was cold, he took the teacup and went to the stove outside to change the cup to a hot one, and then told the situation in the restaurant one by one.

The business in the restaurant, because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, is naturally full every day. Although the festival has long passed, because the moon cakes themselves taste good, there are still many dim sum shops that continue to order goods, so a few days ago, Lu Changan simply hired a few other people to specialize in moon cakes.

The restaurant was already on the right track, but Banniang was not worried, and after listening to Ah Lan's words, she only nodded, she was worried about how the restaurant was prepared.

If you can open before the New Year's Day, it is best to have the support of the consumption peak of the New Year's Festival, and you will save the time to cover the store. If it is delayed until the spring, the business will be much weaker. The popularity of the newly opened shop is the most important.

Ah Lan also knew that she cared about this, and after talking about the things in the restaurant, she reported the situation of the new shop. Dao is the shopkeeper Lu has been optimistic about the shop, and he has also rented it as the main property, and has a five-year contract. The shop is near Guangci Temple, not far from the wooden shop.

That's a good location, Guangci Temple is a commercial area, there are a lot of people on weekdays, and it is the old rich area of Nanfeng City, where people live are some well-off people, and there are a lot of tea shops and wineries, across the street, there are a few tiles to hook the fence, where Liu Rushui is located, Wanxianglou, is on that street, it is the place where the literati and ink writers love to go.

"If it's over there, the rent of the shop is probably a lot. Do you know how big the shop is? ”

Ah Lan said with a smile: "Brother Chang'an estimated that Miss will come back in the next few days, and he is afraid that you will be busy and may not have time to go to the shop, so he told me in detail, knowing that Miss is going to ask." The rent there is really not cheap, the shop is six bays, the small is smaller, but the victory is behind the shop is the courtyard of the three entrances, and they are two-story buildings, Brother Chang'an said, because the guests who can go to eat there are different from the guests in our original restaurant, so the back of the three courtyards can be used well, the front shop is smaller, but it is not prevented. The rent is 400 per year. ”

When Sheraton bought it, it only cost a total of six or seven hundred, and the rent was six hundred a year, which is really not cheap. However, the difference in size of the two shops is two rooms, but the newly rented one, there are three more courtyards in the back, and it is a prime location, which is better than the original Sheraton.

I heard Ah Lan say again: "Brother Chang'an said that the rent is not cheap, but the location is really good, and the main family is in a hurry to rent it out, and there are many people who like it, so he takes it down." It's just that although it is a three-entry courtyard, there is nothing in it, and it is very old, if you want to complete it, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money. In order to recover the cost and make more profits in the future, he signed a five-year deed. ”

It's no wonder that Lu Changan is not in a hurry for her to come back, the shop over there is difficult to rent, and occasionally there are people who want to rent, and many people are afraid that there are many people who rob it.

Banniang nodded and said with a smile: "You will tell the shopkeeper Lu tomorrow, I think it's not bad, wait until I go to the woodware shop tomorrow to have a look, and then go to the restaurant to find him." When the time comes, I will ask him to show me. There are only four months left before New Year's Day, so we have to hurry. ”

Ah Lan saw that she was very satisfied with what Lu Changan had done, and knew that there was nothing wrong with it, and she was very happy when she thought that the new shop could be opened.

Ah Lan smiled and said: "Brother Chang'an said, the decoration matter, Miss has to come back to get an idea." However, the people to be used in the new shop, he has already started to prepare. A few masters were transferred in the kitchen, and a few of the guys were transferred to do well, and some other people were hired, and now they are also learning in the restaurant according to the arrangement, and when the time comes, they will only be able to use it as soon as the new restaurant opens. ”

It's a good fit. The preparations have been done in advance, and when the branch shop is opened, you can go directly on the right track, and what you have to worry about at that time is only the problem of the source of customers.

The restaurant is no better than the woodware shop, Ah Lan is busy all day, and she is more tired than others, so Banniang sent her to wash first, and she didn't have to go to her own house before going to bed.

Thinking that the family is becoming more and more insufficient, it is better to buy two more maids to come back, and take care of the affairs in their own yard, so that when they come back after a busy day in July, they don't have to do these housework anymore.

In addition, the brothers in the family also need to serve people.

Thinking that I would mention it to my sister-in-law tomorrow, I would call Ya Po to come, and pay attention to finding a few suitable ones.

After thinking about it, he took off his shirt, moved the three-seat shelf lamp to the bedside table, and lay down on the bed in his middle coat, and then took the unopened letter.

Looking at the words "Zeng Banniang personally enlightened", my heart was sweet and sudden.

After being stunned for a while, he carefully took the blade, opened the envelope, and took out the letterhead.

Yunshan: If we meet, we have been separated for more than a year, I wonder if you are okay?

……

The payment is exactly the word A Yong in the Ba Niang period.

Banniang smiled slightly.

She called him Ah Yong, and he even signed the money with these two words. Fortunately, it was not opened in front of the second brother at that time, even in Chai Nineteen's letter, he only called her the eighth sister of the Zeng family, but he called himself Yunshan.

After laughing for a while, Banniang touched her slightly hot face, pressed her hand on her heart, and stroked the two jasper leaves, and she could clearly feel that her heartbeat was a little abnormal.

It's just that the smile on his face, he can't stop it, and he was stunned for a long time, which is then looking forward to it again, and it is sweet to read the content of the letter.

Although there is a bit of a special title to look up, the content in the credible is ordinary, the Tao is that he practiced martial arts with the king of the county in his spare time, except for when he was on duty, he was at ease, but the king of the county seemed to be a little troubled recently, Banniang was stunned for a while, and then remembered the king of the county in his letter, is it Chai Nineteen? What bothering a guy like him?

Continue to look down, only to know that the original saint wanted to marry Chai Nineteen, because he had already been named the king of the county, but the marriage has been delayed, Prince Yonghe has been worried about his son's family affairs, but Chai Nineteen is not concerned about this at all, and because he was deeply favored by the heavenly family when he was a child, and now he is more and more reused by the heavenly family, Prince Yonghe and the princess are not good to force him too much, which made him disappear for several years. It's just that now the Heavenly Family has also sent a message, asking him to choose a woman he likes, if he doesn't choose himself, the Heavenly Family will show him the door.

The king of Cheshire is not here, where is he going to find a woman he likes? But the heavenly family spoke, and he couldn't disobey, in case he didn't choose, if his imperial uncle really pointed out to him something he didn't like, he wouldn't even have a chance to regret it.

Therefore, since the beginning of summer, Chai Nineteen has been depressed.

He also said that when Banniang received this letter, he thought that he had said goodbye to Chai Nineteen, stayed away from the capital, and went to the Yunxiping Rebellion with his father, General Di.

Although General Di Da's brilliance as the first god of war in the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention Lu Seventeen, it is Ba Niang, and he is also admired. But when I thought that Di Yong also followed the army into the border pass, and this time, he would definitely go to the battlefield, if he didn't go to war, how could the court let Lord Di go to the battlefield in person? Could it be that there is really a big war over there in Yunxi? Banniang can't help but be worried.

Yunxi borders Dali, and there has been a small chaos, and there is no big chaos, why is there a sudden rebellion this time?

I don't know if the second brother has heard of it. Banniang wanted to put on her clothes and rush to the backyard to ask Zeng Zigu, but it was dark at night, and she went to the courtyard of her brothers, if she didn't go to the yard where the fifth uncle's house lived, she could only pass through the main courtyard, but she would startle her father and mother, so she had to press the uneasiness in her heart. Lay back down.

Then the light was on, and the letter was read and read.

Because Ah Lan rested outside her, and seeing that the lights in the room had not been extinguished, she asked in a low voice outside, "Miss Eight, haven't you slept yet?" ”

Banniang turned off the lights, carefully opened the letter, and put it under the pillow.

But it was also difficult to fall asleep after tossing and turning, and it was really the fourth watch that he held the two jade leaves at the mouth of his heart and fell asleep in a daze.

Because she didn't sleep well, when Ah Lan got up the next day, she also woke up.

"What time is it?"

July heard the voice and hurriedly entered the house: "Why did Miss wake up so early?" Don't get more sleep? It's just dawn, and it's still early. ”

Banniang waved her hand and let her go, because she couldn't sleep anymore, so she simply got up and put on her clothes.

Banniang simply cleaned up, thinking that the brothers must have gotten up early to read at this time, so she went to the backyard.

Passing through the main courtyard, I ran into Wu in the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law, morning." Banniang stepped forward and saluted.

Wu said with pity: "Why did you get up so early? I didn't sleep much. You don't have to worry about things in the kitchen. I finally went back to my home, and then I went back to the courtyard to sleep for a while, and when breakfast was ready, I asked someone to call you. ”

Banniang hurriedly said: "I slept too much yesterday afternoon, and my sister-in-law was busy first, since I didn't need me in the kitchen, I went to the backyard to see the second brother." ”

Although the Wu family was a little confused, Banniang had always been close to her brothers, so she went to the backyard at this time, maybe she had something to say, so she went with her.
