After the system ran, I took off with my family
Chapter 119 Transformation
"How about asking the villagers of Lanshan Village to grow some vegetables so that we can use them in our store and they can also have more income. After all, we are going to live here for a long time, and it will be easier to get along with them in the future if we give them some favors." Li looked at Lin An and Lin Shuyue, a little hesitant.
Lin Shuyue understood what Li meant. Their family had fled here to escape famine, and there were only two relatives in the village: Uncle Gangzi and Uncle Erlangzi. Li was worried that if they encountered any problems in the future, no one would help them. You know, in this era, a family without the protection of a clan is like a lone boat.
But she had no objection, so she suggested: "We can ask the villagers to grow some peppers, and we will buy them at the market price. If there are any fresh vegetables, we can also ask them to deliver them to the store."
Lin An also nodded in agreement, "We will go back to the village and discuss this matter with the village chief."
After the family had decided on the ingredients, Lin Shuyue took out two drawings and handed them to them.
"One is a diagram of the restaurant's renovation, and the other is a diagram of the pot."
Lin An and others took the blueprint and looked at it carefully. The general layout of the restaurant was the same as that of ordinary restaurants, with the lobby on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor.
However, Lin Shuyue planned to replace all the windows of the restaurant with glazed windows, and each table in the lobby on the first floor would be separated by a half-person-high hollow carved partition.
The pot she painted was a double-flavored pot to make it easier for customers to choose.
After seeing that there was no problem, Lin Shuyue asked everyone to go back and rest, and go to the restaurant early tomorrow morning to find craftsmen to help renovate the restaurant.
The next day, after breakfast, Lin Shuyue took Manager Hu to the restaurant.
Shopkeeper Hu used to be the shopkeeper of a restaurant, and Shopkeeper Gao used to be the shopkeeper of a silver shop, so she let Shopkeeper Hu manage the hot pot restaurant.
Standing at the entrance of the restaurant, Lin Shuyue looked across and found that the Wanhe Tower opposite was still closed for some reason.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Lin An arrived with his craftsmen. He was looking for the same group of craftsmen who helped the Lin family build the house in Lanshan Village.
Lin Shuyue handed the drawing she had drawn to the chief craftsman. After the chief craftsman carefully asked about the requirements, he patted his chest and assured that there would be no problem.
Then she asked the craftsmen to check the entire restaurant inside and out. After confirming that there were no problems with the beams, stairs, doors and windows, she instructed the craftsmen to re-paint the entire restaurant with tung oil. Tung oil is not only waterproof and resistant to diseases and insects, but also effectively prevents wood from corroding.
After giving clear instructions, the craftsman took his people back to get tools and purchase materials.
After instructing Manager Hu to keep an eye on the progress in the restaurant, Lin Shuyue and his group headed towards the blacksmith shop.
The owner of the blacksmith shop was a sturdy, shirtless middle-aged man. Lin An asked his daughter to wait in the carriage, and he got off with the blueprint and went into the shop.
On the other side, Wan Xue came to the yamen with three hundred and fifty taels of silver, still accompanied by housekeeper Wan and several servants.
After paying three hundred and fifty taels of silver, she followed the yamen runner to the morgue. As soon as she entered the room, the smell inside made her retch. After pinching her nose with a handkerchief, she looked at the yamen runner who lifted the white cloth covering the corpse. In an instant, the corpse, which was already emitting a foul odor and oozing yellow mucus, was revealed.
With a cry of "Wow", she could no longer hold back and ran out of the house to vomit. Butler Wan looked at her helplessly, then suppressed his nausea and took the servant forward to wrap the body with a mat, then slowly carried it out of the morgue and placed it on the three carts they had prepared.
On the way back home, Butler Wan followed at the end of the team. At this moment, he stared at the corpse on the cart with a gloomy face, and was very angry when he thought about what happened yesterday.
Yesterday morning, when Wan Xue told him that there had been a theft in the mansion, he thought that Wan Xue had been smart for once and knew how to hide the things in the storehouse and then call in soldiers to deliberately create the illusion that the mansion had been robbed in order to dispel other people's covetous hearts.
After several yamen runners searched the area and found nothing, he became more certain of his guess.
Unexpectedly, after the bailiff left, Wan Xue took out the deeds of several shops and asked him seriously which shop he would like to sell.
He felt very disappointed at that time, but he asked again without giving up. The answer he got was that there was indeed a theft in the mansion.
Now, apart from this big house, a few shops and two restaurants, the Wan Mansion has no money left. It may not even be able to pay the monthly wages to the servants in the mansion this month.
In the end, after cursing the thief countless times in his heart, he could only hold his breath and help Wan Xue sell three shops and a restaurant before he raised the 350 taels of silver.
Although Wan Xue was a little confused at first as to why the three shops and a restaurant were only sold for 350 taels, he explained that it was because when people heard that they were Wan Mansion's shops, they were unwilling to buy them. It was only after he lowered the price again and again that someone bought them.
Wan Xue had never been in charge of general affairs, so she didn't say anything after hearing this explanation.
Just as his thoughts were in a mess, there was a sudden panic ahead. He saw a lot of civilians surrounding the team, and the team was forced to slow down. The civilians, with a look of resentment on their faces, took rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs and threw them at the three bodies.
"This kind of beast dares to parade around in the streets even after his death!"
"Oh my God, please let these three beasts go to hell and into the oil pan. Don't let them be reincarnated!"
"No one in the Wan family is a good person! The second young lady of the Wan family is definitely a nuisance, we can't let her go."
Wan Xue's carriage was in the front. When she heard what was said outside, she shrank in the corner of the carriage in fear.
Soon, rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs hit her carriage. Many rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were thrown in through the window. She dodged in panic, but was still hit by the rotten eggs.
Wan Xue looked at the rotten eggs on her chest and burst into tears out of grievance, while her maid Xiaohuan symbolically helped her block a few rotten vegetable leaves.
Suddenly, a pot of old incense was poured in from the car window, pouring all over Wan Xue and Xiao Huan, and even some splashed on Wan Xue's face.
Wan Xue could no longer hold back her tears, cursed the people outside, and shouted that she would call the police.
Butler Wan, who was at the end of the team, was not spared either. A quarter of an hour later, when the people had thrown away all the things in their hands, they left one after another.
When the group returned to the Wan Mansion, the carts and carriages were all dirty and smelled bad. The servants and maids who came out to help could only hold their breath and dared not show any strange expressions.
After moving the corpse to the prepared mourning hall, Wan Xue impatiently returned to the house and scrubbed the body several times with a brush.
In another small courtyard, Butler Wan, after washing up and wearing clean clothes, sat at the table, frowning and thinking.
The Wan Mansion's reputation has already been ruined, and there is no benefit for him to stay there any longer. Besides, it is now just an empty shell. It seems that he has to hurry up and get his money and leave here.
In Jing'an Lane, Lin Shuyue was lying on a recliner under the magnolia tree in the yard, munching on a peach while watching Qingzhi and Qinghe practice basic skills, giving them some pointers from time to time.
An hour later, Lin Shuyue asked them to stop and rest, then pointed to the two bowls of spiritual spring water on the table and said, "Drink this water."
