Parents are busy farming

When I walked into the restaurant, I happened to see the treacherous son of his family making calculations at the counter of the restaurant, looking like a shopkeeper.

"Why are you here?"

Master Qian's voice made Pang Chao raise his head with surprise on his face.

Zi Zifen also heard the sound, came over to help Pang Chao and said, "Master Qian? This place hasn't opened yet, you're early!"

After Master Qian glanced between Pang Chao and Ye Zifen, he decided to settle the business first.

"Miss Ye Wu, I wonder if we can have a talk?"

Zi Zifen nodded and came to the private room on the second floor. Tables and chairs had been placed in the private room.

The interior items and decorations alone cost her one thousand taels of silver.

Her heart was bleeding the moment she took out the silver.

Ye Zifen said directly: "I wonder why Mr. Qian is looking for me?"

Mr. Qian was smart enough not to mention Ye Zifen's design of his home, but kept his attitude very low.

He said: "Miss Ye Wu, it's like this. The traitor in my family stocked some cotton a few days ago, and it just so happened that the family's funds were in trouble. I wonder if Miss Ye Wu can take over!"

Ye Zifen pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Master Qian also saw it. Now that the farm is busy, I don't have the energy to weave. The last time your family purchased goods from me... I'm sorry."

Ye Zifen thought of Master Qian's purpose of coming to her, so she continued: "In addition, my own cotton has been used up, and I plan to wait until next month when my cotton comes down."

Mr. Qian knew that Ye Zifen was trying to shirk.

He said, "The price is negotiable!"

After hearing this, Ye Zifen was still full of apologies.

Master Qian knew that Ye Zifen was not letting go of hawks when he saw rabbits, so he said: "My eldest son harvested cotton with eight cents, how about I give you six cents now?"

Ye Zifen sneered inwardly when he heard it. She helped to raise the price. Did he think he could impress her with the original price?

Ye Zifen said nothing, Master Qian gritted his teeth, "Four coins!"

Now Ye Zifen was no longer calm. She raised her eyelids and asked awkwardly: "How much does Mr. Qian want to sell? Let me see how much I can buy with the money in my hand."

Upon hearing this, Master Qian quickly said: "I now have three thousand taels of goods!"

Ye Zifen pretended to be surprised when she heard this and looked at Mr. Qian.

Asking knowingly: "How much?"

Master Qian suppressed his boiling blood and said, "Three thousand taels of silver!"

Ye Zifen pinched her eyebrows and said, "How much does Mr. Qian plan to keep for himself? You won't digest it at all, right?"

Master Qian didn't expect Ye Zifen to ask this, but he didn't say that the Qian family had already left half of it.

The three thousand taels he mentioned was half of all the cotton.

"I...I have already reserved it! As much as I gave you." Mr. Qian said this with difficulty and looked at Ye Zifen.

Ye Zifen had no other expression except surprise, but there was a little fox jumping happily inside.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Prepare the cotton, and I'll have someone come to carry it. In addition, I can only give you two thousand taels first, and I will give you an IOU for the remaining one thousand taels, and I will give it to you in one month!"

Ye Zifen couldn't take out all the money in her hand, so she would be very passive if something went wrong.

Besides, it was too easy to get the money out, which makes it even more obvious that it was designed by her.

Mr. Qian thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

So Ye Zifen saved one thousand five hundred taels and bought a lot of cotton.

After Master Qian and Ye Zifen agreed, they went downstairs and saw Pang Chao still calculating something behind the counter, so he walked forward.

"How come you are the shopkeeper here? I didn't expect that you have been reduced to being the shopkeeper for others. You are really worthless!"

Not only was Pang Chao not angry, but his words made Master Qian's face turn red.

He said: "I occupy 20% of this restaurant. I have worked in the Qian family for so many years. What have I gained?"

Ye Zifen smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

Mr. Qian was furious and pointed at Pang Chao, "You...you..."

"Is there anything else? If nothing happens, go and wipe your son's butt!" Pang Chao had no expression on his face.

Mr. Qian looked at Pang Chao suspiciously, "It's not you! He looked at Ye Zifen again..."

Ye Zifen still had the same standard smile and said nothing.

Mr. Qian was anxious, so he didn't care about them anymore and left quickly. He wanted the shopkeepers of other shops to quickly get money to purchase goods.

Before going out, he said to Ye Zifen: "I hope Miss Ye Wu will weave cloth as soon as possible. We still need to purchase goods from you!"

Ye Zifen nodded and sent Master Qian away.

Pang Chao laughed self-deprecatingly and continued to calculate the expenses of the restaurant.

Ye Zifen immediately rushed to Zhuangzi and asked Li Daniu to take people to the Qian family's warehouse to transport the cotton back and put it in the Zhuangzi. There were many rooms in the Founder's Zhuangzi and could fit it.

She went back to Ye's house and took out two thousand taels of silver and an IOU of one thousand taels, and sent them to Master Qian.

As soon as the cotton arrived at the farm, the girls started working immediately.

It won't work if we don't start work. Zixuan's place is urging the goods again.

The preparations for the restaurant are still in progress, and the majestic carriages enter the city.

The battle spread directly throughout the county. When Ye Zifen heard the news, he quickly went to the city gate to have a look.

From a distance, I could see the person sitting on the horse and his face that was blue, red, and purple.

If she hadn't known those carriages, she wouldn't have known who it was.

Zhang Gaoyi also saw Ye Zifen and was about to wave and say hello to her when he suddenly saw her surprised look in her eyes.

Only then did he realize something, and he touched his face unnaturally, 'Hiss! ’ It’s okay if you don’t touch it, but it still hurts if you touch it.

Ye Zifen finally couldn't stand it anymore and walked over to him and said, "Send the goods to the dock!"

Then leave first and lead the way.

Ye Zifen had made preparations when designing the ice cellar. The ice cellar was surrounded by a one-foot-wide and two-foot-high waterproof pool filled with saltpeter.

Zhang Gaoyi saw Ye Zifen leaving and quickly followed him on horseback.

So a large group of people went to the dock, and then began to unload the goods.

Magistrate Su County heard the news and came to check, just in time to see everyone taking the seafood from the carriage into the newly built restaurant one by one.

Realizing that it was Zi Zifen who was messing with things again, he returned to the Yamen with peace of mind.

When the seafood was transported into the ice cellar, it was immediately full. Ye Zifen quickly asked people to pour water into the surrounding pools to cool down the ice cellar.

Then he went to the third floor and asked Wang Sheng, who was doing the finishing work, "Go to the mutton soup restaurant and tell the shopkeeper that four sheep will be roasted tonight to reward the people who protect the caravan."

Then he said to Zhang Gaoyi: "Go to my village and deliver a message to Li Daniu, asking him to send four sheep to the sheep soup restaurant."

Ye Zifen probably turned up the volume, and everyone became happy upon hearing this. Some people were already going to the mutton soup restaurant to get a seat.

Zhang Gaoyi found a few people to send the carriage back to Zhuangzi.

Pang Chao walked up to Ye Zifen and asked, "Is it time for us to open?"

Ye Zifen glanced at Pang Chao with disgust on his face, "Where's the plaque?"

Pang Chao slapped his forehead, "Oh no, no, no... I was so busy that I forgot such an important thing!"

Ye Zifen rolled her eyes and asked Pang Chao, "Should you first think about a name, then look through the almanac, and then submit a post to a reputable person in the county?"

Pang Chao glared at Ye Zifen, "Am I that stupid? I've already thought of a name, it's called 'Fu Ke Lai'! And I've already completed the contract for the restaurant."

Ye Zifen nodded, "Then you finish the rest of the work. Just send someone to notify me when it opens. In addition, we need to find someone to manage the ice cellar. Do you have any objections?"

Pang Chao waved his hand, ‘He knew Ye Zifen would definitely be the shopkeeper! ’ It’s good to remember this.

Ye Zifen already has a candidate.
