Zhang Ci smiled and said: "Chen Jian is a good student, he is very likely to be shortlisted this year, and there is great hope of being a Jinshi next year."

This sentence frightened the Liu family: "If he passes the exam, won't the Chen family despise us?"

"If the Chen family minded, they wouldn't come to propose marriage." Zhang Ci comforted them: "Chen Jian asked for leave the day before yesterday and went back to the county, probably for this matter. He can make his family agree to his marriage, and he will be able to protect him when things happen in the future." With the fourth sister."

The Liu family was relieved.

Zhang Ci added: "Now the Liu family also has a general. In the future, the [-]th brother will be admitted as a Jinshi. There is not much difference in the background of the two families. Everyone knows the root and the bottom. It is a good marriage."

The Liu family felt more at ease.

In the afternoon, the two went to the snack bar to check the preparation of the new store.The shops here no longer use glass windows, but just make them into counters to enclose the kitchen.

"Actually, I really want to go to the third store." Chen Fan looked at Zhang Ci.

He bent the corner of his mouth: "You said you would do it against me, how can you go to see it secretly? When it opens there, Guang Zheng will come to see it."

"Are you going to mess things up?" Chen Fan couldn't help laughing.

"That can't be, the status of Xiangjun is still there."

The two returned to Mankouxian.Steward Feng's wife, Huang Yin, greeted her with a smile.During this period of time, she was helping to train the staff in the store.

"Congratulations to Mr. Xiang and Young Master on their wedding. It's a pity that I couldn't go to congratulate you in person." Huang Yin said with a smile.

Zhang Ci smiled and said, "You and Uncle Feng have done a great job here by taking good care of you."

Huang Yin pointed to a few girls in the courtyard: "These are all in training, and they can do things when the new store opens."

When it was closing time, everyone sat down for a meeting, and the room was full.

Chen Fan first asked the kitchen staff: "Who is in charge of the kitchen stove?"

Four sturdier women raised their hands.

"My name is Cao Ayu."

"My name is Miss Wu."

"My name is Yuan Xiuxiu."

"My name is Tian Zhen."

Chen Fan nodded, glanced at the crowd, and someone stood up again.Cao Ayu's family has the largest population, her husband, son, daughter-in-law, and a 13-year-old daughter.The other three families have small populations.

"My family never showed up in the lobby," Cao Ayu said.It seems they are prepared for three stores.The same goes for Wu Xiaomei's family.

After Chen Fan and Zhang Ci got familiar with the heads, they began to allocate staff among the three stores.

Chen Fan said: "The two stores in the north of the city are rivals, but the personnel are all our own. Competition does exist, and the three stores must strive to be the best. Hygiene, quality and service must be the best."

Everyone nodded solemnly.

After arranging the snack bar, the two returned to Zhang Zhai.

"The forces in the north of the city are more complicated, and I will arrange guards to be my buddies," Zhang Ci said.

Chen Fan smiled: "Then at least four are needed, and they must be on shifts, right?"

"There are two in each store. Sometimes one goes out to run errands, and the other needs to stay in the store." Zhang Ci took her hand and sat down, "The staff of the teahouse are trained in the mansion, mainly in tea art."

The next day, the two went to the teahouse to have a look.Zhang Xiaolou said: "The work here has just finished, and the tables, chairs and cabinets will have to be aired for a few more days to let the air out to dissipate the smell."

The two inspected it and were very satisfied. Zhang Xiaolou's craftsmanship was well-deserved, and the details were handled very well.

Chen Jian's family came to propose marriage, and Chen Fan also went.

She looked at Huai Shan: "When we met at the grocery store that day, Chen Jian made an appointment to ride a horse. Did he want to ask you out?"

Huai Shan blinked, with a dazed look on her face: "Did you have appointments with many people that day? I also went to many houses on the day of horseback riding. It's just an ordinary event."

Chen Fan had a half smile but not a smile: "Pretend to be with me?"

Huaishan's ears turned red: "Oh, at that time he said he hit it off with Mr. Zhang, maybe he wants to ride a horse with Mr. Zhang even more?"

Can you still interrupt like this?Chen Fan tried to gossip, but failed.

Aunt Xie brought Liu Ruhui over happily.

"Congratulations to the fourth girl. I heard that the dowry is very rich, and the Chen family is sincere. Chen Jian's eldest brother brought people here." Aunt Xie had already quietly inquired about the situation in the front yard.

Ruhui's eyes brightened: "I really didn't expect that Mr. Chen came to propose marriage suddenly. If he can go to high school next year, my sister will be a Jinshi lady."

Chen Fan wanted to mention his character: "Mr. Chen seems to be a reliable person. My sister will live a happy life if she gets along well with him."

Aunt Xie's expression faded: "I don't know what to do about Ruhui's marriage."

Chen Fan glanced at her: "Fate is here, Auntie can rest assured. The marriage of the fourth younger sister didn't show any signs before, and the Chen family came as soon as they said it."

Aunt Xie chatted about reading and talent.

After the second wife settled the matter ahead, she came to look for Liu Huaishan.Aunt Xie immediately said congratulations and blessings.

"We have already accepted the dowry, the marriage is settled, and there are still many things to prepare. You are a girl to be married now, so you have to be more cautious." The second wife told Huai Shan.

Chen Fan smiled: "As long as the fourth sister is not acting like a baby in front of her mother, she is mature and stable."

"The fourth girl has been managing the property for so many years, and it's all in good order." Aunt Xie followed suit with praise.

The second wife sighed: "This child has not been by my side for a long time, and finally came to live at home for the past two years, and he is going to get married again in a blink of an eye."

Chen Fan felt a little subtle in his heart.Compared with Huai Shan and Ru Hui, she is already a married woman, and she even wears a woman's bun.

The two girls in front of them are still unmarried girls, maybe they will get married next year.

On March [-]th, Mankouxian opened in the north of the city.

"The new store opens today, buy two steamed buns and get a bowl of soy milk for free!" Yuan Xiuxiu's son Li Shunye's voice was so loud that half the street could hear him clearly.

There was a long queue to buy buns.There are many kinds of buns in the store: those stuffed with fresh meat, those with dried plums, and those with shredded radish... Two buns are just a bowl of hot soy milk, which is delicious and refreshing.

It was bustling here, and the mouthful of incense on the other side of the street lit firecrackers, attracting the attention of many people.

"The new store opens today, buy two steamed buns and get a bowl of bean curd for free!" Cao Ayu's husband Tao Fengnian's voice sounded like a gong, suppressing the bustling momentum here at once.

Some people who lined up rolled their eyes and ran to fill their mouths with incense.There are also fresh meat buns over there, as well as those stuffed with sauerkraut and bean curd... The price of the buns is the same as here, and the bean curd seems to be more expensive.

The two shops are very lively. Some people tasted the fresh meat buns on both sides and came to the conclusion that one is sweeter and the other is saltier.

It depends on everyone's taste.

At noon, Man Kou Xian provides wontons and topping noodles, and Man Kou Xiang provides noodles with fried sauce.At this time, the weather is no longer cold, and it is time to eat fried noodles.The eaters mixed the noodles with the sauce with great interest, and their mouths were filled with the aroma of the meat sauce, and the shredded cucumbers and carrots were tender and refreshing.The craze for fried noodles quickly swept across the north of the city.
