Stepmother Shaoguang

Chapter 17 Business
What Shen Miaomiao said was reasonable, Lu Fengju had no choice but to give up, but he was still reluctant to let her go like this.

He has been vegetarian for several days.

The two are you and me.

He Shaoguang didn't know that there was another Shen Miaomiao in the mansion, so she went back to He's mansion to stay for two days.

He shared his thoughts with Hai Shi, and Hai Shi looked at his beloved young girl, obviously life is comfortable, and the nobleness of the Duke's Mansion made her more calm.

How can Haishi disagree?My daughter wants to do some business to pass the time, even if she loses money, it doesn't matter.

But I still have to give her some pointers.

"The businesses that your uncle and the others are doing now, the biggest ones are cloth and grain, which are all common."

"There are still some medicinal materials business, not many, but it is rare to be able to get involved, and it will grow slowly."

"What kind of shop do you want to open? Makeup? Silk?"

Haishi took a sip of tea and slowly made plans for her.

"We have these two ready-made in the capital, and the locations are not bad..."

"Mother, my daughter wants to open a restaurant."

He Shaoguang explained his thoughts to her in detail for the past few days. He originally wanted to open a restaurant, but he was afraid that it would not happen easily.

It's better to make a small fuss first and find out the feeling.

This restaurant is not the kind that intends to open to feed the workers who pass by. It costs ten cents a meal, and you can eat whatever you want, a big pot of vegetables.

What He Shaoguang wants to earn is those who have a decent family and a little money, but they don't want to eat at home all the time.

The Guozijian teenagers in their teens are very suitable.

This store is located on the only way to the back door of the Guozijian. Chaoshi sells breakfast, and the students eat lunch in the cafeteria. Dinner——

Most of them are students who are greedy, or students who don't want to eat in the cafeteria.

You can also sell some snacks after night school.

Haishi personally accompanied He Shaoguang to see the shops, and there were some signs for sale. He Shaoguang saw a small two-story building with a yard behind it, and two golden osmanthus and plum trees were planted in the yard. .The front room is well lit and spacious.

Asked to ask for 500 taels of silver, this is really a lion's mouth.

The man also saw He Shaoguang's extraordinary clothes, so he asked for a higher price.It took Haishi to negotiate the price with his arms crossed, and finally the deal was made at a price of 360 taels.

After going to the government to pass the paperwork and pay the money, the shop is considered He Shaoguang's.

Now there is still a lack of helpers, so naturally we can't use servants from the mansion, so we can go to the dental shop to pick some capable guys, preferably those who have been cooks.

The Yaren brought three or five young guys who looked sharp.There is also a tall, dark and thin girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, she looks not in good health, but her eyes are very bright.

"These few are hard-working, and there is nothing wrong with them. In the past, the owner's family fell into decline, so they sold their property and went back to their hometown. So they sold them."

Yaren accompanied He Shaoguang with a smiling face and introduced him.

When talking about the girl, he was a little hesitant, but he still gritted his teeth and pushed her out:

"The one you looked at was sick. She had a serious illness in winter. The family had no money to treat her, so she sold it to us. It can be regarded as her recovery. You said you want a cook, we This means that her family used to run a foot shop, and her craftsmanship should be pretty good."

"It's just a woman. If you are not satisfied, we will go and replace it for you."

The girl was silent, but it was reassuring.Naturally, He Shaoguang didn't mind if she was a man or a woman, he wanted to test her cooking skills, and if she was good, he could accept her.

"I cook a dish, you watch me, and then make it. If I think it's okay, you can follow me."

He Shaoguang borrowed the kitchen here, and there were no complicated ingredients, so he picked a simple and quick pickled potato shreds in vinegar and stir-fried cabbage.

The conditions are limited, and shredded potatoes can test the skill of the knife, while fried cabbage is easy to be fried or tasteless. It tests whether she can make simple ingredients delicious.

The restaurant opened by He Shaoguang does not need to cook delicacies from mountains and seas, home cooking is the real taste.

There isn't any student who eats fish and meat every day, right?

that's enough.

The girl did it very quickly, without any hesitation when she cut the knife, and the cut silk was uniform in thickness, which looked like she had practiced it all year round.

The fried cabbage is also juicy, crispy, tender and sweet, and He Shaoguang's cooking skills are considered a pass.

He Shaoguang didn't break his promise, seeing that they were all safe, he immediately paid the silver with the Yaman and took the deed.

"Madam, please give me a name." The black and thin girl's eyes were bright, and she asked her to give herself a name before her teeth came out.

"What was your name before?"

"I didn't have a name in the past. I was picked up and called Erya." Speaking of her previous experience, her adoptive parents probably didn't treat her well, otherwise why would she sell it?The black and thin girl was a little sad.

"Then" looked her up and down, and He Shaoguang saw the only pair of eyes in her body that were as bright as stars: "I'll call you Xing'er from now on, and my surname is He."

"Thank you Ma'am." He Xing'er was obviously happy. Although there was no expression on his face, he knew it when he saw her hands shaking slightly due to excitement.

When they went back together, He Shaoguang specially called He Xing'er to sit in the carriage with himself and Haishi.

"You're not in good health, so don't be too tired." Since he is his own person, He Shaoguang won't pay so much attention to it.

"Madam is kind-hearted. This servant has never been in such a nice carriage. I'm afraid it will dirty your carriage." He Xing'er was a little embarrassed, with his hands resting on the hem of the skirt. The clothes hadn't been changed for a long time and had already been washed. It is whitish and cannot see the original color.

But it's not sloppy, it's washed every day, and it still smells like soap.

"You don't have to call yourself a slave, I asked you to be a cook. In the future, you can look after the kitchen in this shop for me. If you do a good job, I will give you a monthly salary."

After hearing this, He Xing'er blushed, but she couldn't tell from her wheat-colored face, and quickly waved her hands: "The two ladies are willing to want me, and give me a bite of food, which is already a great kindness to me." , how dare you ask for the monthly money of the two of you."

After that, he lowered his head and said gratefully: "I have no other skills, I can only cook a few dishes, and I also like cooking. I will definitely help my wife to make the restaurant well!"

While speaking, the carriage drove to the shop, which had been cleaned out by the people brought by Haishi.

He Shaoguang arranged for He Xing'er to live in the back yard, and the other young men rented another yard to live next to them, taking care of each other.

He Shaoguang went inside to look at the layout, and expected to make some changes, not big.Let He Xing'er write it down, and then go to the decorator to take a look.

After a tiring day, many things were settled.

After taking a good bath at night, Zhijun massaged her.A head of jet-black hair had just been washed, and it still looked damp, so it was let down like this. He Shaoguang sat in the yard to dry, very cute.
