delicious little cook

Chapter 423

The two of them first fixed the door panel downstairs and bolted it from the inside, then passed through the corner door, walked around the back house a few times, and then went from the back door to the back alley. The alley was quiet, no one was moving around, even the watchdog was asleep, and the noise from the night market on the main street was not heard at all.

"This is a good location, quiet amidst the hustle and bustle. If there is a house for sale, you must buy it."

Gu Yun led Bai Kou to the direction of the main street, quite satisfied with the environment in this area.

"You will contribute a lot to Zhuangzhai Yaxing's revenue this year."

"Could it be that they don't have business?"

"However, if there is a chance, it is best to buy a large vacant lot in the Xiafang area and build a factory by yourself. The real estate in Tianshuifang is too expensive, and it is not cost-effective to build a factory."

"Building a factory in Xiafang? You said so lightly! Who will take care of things? You? What will I do if you leave?"

"I didn't say anything about the present and the future. It's better for the factories to be contiguous. It's hard to find vacant land in Shangfang and Zhongfang. Only Xiafang has it. The pure land price is so cheap."

"In the future, it's almost enough for you to cultivate a few capable cronies to take care of it for you. You don't even have to think about it yourself. You put all your energy on business, and the Zhongming Institute doesn't care?"

"If that day really comes, the young mistress will have already entered the house. There will be capable servants around her to help with housework, and the servant girl will go to take care of the business. Life will be more interesting."

"Come on, once you get out of control, you don't know what you can do. You just stay by my side and you are not allowed to go anywhere. I have to watch you to be at ease."

"Well~~~, you are inside and outside the house all day long, your vision is too narrow, and it will affect your business vision."

"Can you calm down?"

Gu Yun stopped in his tracks, put the lantern in his hand back into Bai Kou's hand, let go of her hand, and wrapped his arms around her waist instead.

Bai Kou held the lantern tightly and looked around. The two of them had already walked to the entrance and exit of the alley. The lights of the night market complemented each other, leaving a light shadow at their feet. The two of them were standing a few steps away from this scene. Take a few more steps and you will be in the light.

"As long as you haven't been granted an amnesty for a day, even if you are seventy or eighty years old, don't even think about moving freely out of my sight. Now you can go anywhere in the capital, and I let you use my carriage as you want. You Let's see who has such power as you?"

"Isn't this just worrying about too much power, and one day there will be conflicts with the young lady?" Bai Kou pursed her lips and muttered.

"If there is a conflict, you deserve it. You picked the young lady's candidate. If you didn't pick someone who can live in peace with you, blame me?"

"That's not what you said. What if the eldest lady and the eldest master have other ideas?"

"If you act first and pick a good one for me to get along with in advance, they won't cause trouble."

"Master and Madam have indulged you too much."

Gu Yun shook his head triumphantly, "They won't interfere too much with such trivial matters, that's how they know about marriage."

"It turned out to be a family tradition."

"People who practice martial arts and join the army don't have so many sour and sour rules."

Gu Yun tightened his arms, pulled Bai Kou into his arms, lowered his head slightly, and pressed his lips against her temples.

"Don't think about things a few years from now. Don't make your backup plan so long-term. You said that the plan will never catch up with the changes. You can straighten out the business for me now. I'm still waiting for the money."

"The immediate matter is a short-term plan, but a long-term plan is also necessary. At least a framework must be laid out to ensure that it will not go astray."

"This is a great night, can you suspend your calculations first?"

"Aren't you short of money to spend?"

"I said I was short of money, but you can earn me 800 taels of silver tomorrow? Take it easy when it's time to relax. Don't push yourself too hard. The tight string is easy to break. If you fall ill, I will would be angry."

"Oh."

"That's good, let's go, go back."

Gu Yun kissed Bai Kou on the cheek, then took her hand again. Covered by the night and long sleeves, the two walked back to the house slowly, stopping by various night market stalls selling snacks. I bought some food and brought it back to the girl for supper.

When entering the mansion through the stables, Bai Kou even shared a portion of food with the gatekeeper. The other party asked casually why the prince came back from the stable at this time, and Bai Kou replied casually that the young master had just booked a prosperous shop, and then went to the gatekeeper. Amidst the congratulatory sound of people, he went out of the stable door and turned to Babu Lane, and went straight back to Zhongming Courtyard.

The next day, after the girls sent Gu Yun out, Bai Kou also finished his routine business, changed his clothes and went to the street. First, he went to Zhuangzhai Yaxing to set the signing date, and then walked along Zhoujia Lane, telling Yan Zheng There is something about the new store, and I gave him the key, and asked him to take the time to recognize the environment and clean up the sundries, and finally went to the big car dealership in the back alley of Zhou's house to find his sister Bai Rui, and informed her that he was going to move and officially settled in Tianshui square.

After leaving the car dealership, Bai Kou went into the glass workshop, and directly gave Liu Qiang and Liu Zhuang brothers a solution formula of transparent glass, asking them to try it out, and see how the finished product looks to know the quality of the raw materials.

The two brothers have been trying to make colored colored glaze these days. They know that there is such a thing as transparent colored glaze, but none of their colleagues in Chunhefang have ever made it. They only know that foreign merchants from Outland have mastered this technology. I can't see it at all, and it has long been monopolized by the rich and powerful. If a Chinese can do it, it must be the only good business.

Bai Kou wanted to make high borosilicate glass, but as far as she knew, this actually belonged to the special glass industry, and it was impossible to make it under the current conditions. Even if she knew the formula ratio and process, it was useless. I hope that I can make ordinary glass, but I dare not expect how good the transparency is, and those that can make do with it are considered qualified.

During the three or four days waiting for Liu Qiang and Liu Zhuang to give her good news, Gu Yun signed a contract with Zhuang Zhai Yaxing to buy Wangpu, and signed a long-term employment contract with Bai Rui. The paperwork was sent to the eldest uncle Tang Lin through the car dealership, and he went to the government to handle the matter of Bai Rui's mother and daughter establishing a female household and relocating.

The original owner of the shop took the money and left with his son, and handed over all the objects in the house to the new owner. For Bai Rui's disposal, it's up to her to sell second-hand, rags, or give it away. Anyway, their mother and daughter can come here as comfortable as they want.

The new signboard is also hung up, and a cloth banner with a fresh and unstained color is hung. The color is bright, light and clean. It is really conspicuous and cute among the shop banners along the street. It has not officially opened yet. It's just that Gu Yun sent his servants over to do the cleaning, and there were frequent visits from neighbors to inquire about the opening, and some even recommended themselves to be servants.

The shopkeeper and accountant needed by the shop were all recommended by Bo Yan. They were naturally happy to be able to work under Ye Guogong's son. In addition, there was a promise of dividends at the end of the year, so they worked very hard.
