Chapter 141
Make the decision? What to do?
The third lady dared not tell her parents and brothers about this matter, otherwise she would have been angrily scolded long ago. The old lady was willing to give her a face and help her hide it, and she should be grateful. But thinking that all the hard work in the years has been gone, she still gritted her teeth with gritted her teeth.
It’s all for the bitch Zhou.
A widow stayed at home restlessly and raised her children, and insisted on coming out to get along with her. As soon as she entered the door, she took away her gifts and destroyed her wealth.
Why didn't God open his eyes and kill this shameless prostitute?
She left with resentment, and she couldn't calm down her mind. She became sick after she went back. Just in time, she was sick and "recalling her mistakes in the closed door."
Rong'antang.
The old lady looked at Zhou, her eyes gradually softened, and she sighed.
"Thanks to you this time, otherwise my Xiao family would be emptied by her."
"The daughter-in-law dares not take credit."
Zhou whispered: "It's all thanks to Awan. I thought that she had been engaged, so she should let her learn the stewardship early. That day, the manager came to hand over the account book, so she was with me. In the past, our family was a food dealer, and she knew the most about these accounts. But after all, my younger brother and sister have been in charge of the Zhongfu for many years, and I was afraid that she would misunderstand her brother and sister, so I specially asked someone to check it out, so I dared to disturb my mother."
Their family has lived in the North for more than ten years, and the old lady knows it.
The ice-skin mooncakes from Ji's dim sum shop were stir-fried a lot in the past few months, and she also ate them. Later, Ji's hot pot came out, and she knew it was related to that girl.
Yu family thought they had lived in Zhou's mansion and had no need to do many things by themselves. Moreover, the prices in the south and the north were somewhat different. Zhou's first palm master Zhongfu did not dare to attack her directly, and perhaps she could get away with it. Who knew that the girl's eyes were so vicious that she could see through Yu's tricks at first glance.
"Awan is a smart girl, and you are also good at teaching. If your brother and sister are as virtuous as you, I don't want to work too much. Unfortunately..."
She knew that Yu liked to be competitive, but at least she was born in a famous family, and the father and brother of the Yu family were still quite upright. However, she did not expect that the daughter she had raised was so shallow and narrow-minded. She would just beat and scold her aunt to treat her illegitimate children. Even if she took some oil and water from the public to supplement her private use, she could turn a blind eye. However, she did not expect that Yu had greedy for so much money to buy private property.
It's so bold!
"Don't make family scandals public."
Even though he knew that Yu made a big mistake, he could not deal with it too much.
Is it a joke to divorce your wife? That is to spread the family scandals so that everyone can see the Xiao family. Therefore, I can only pick it up and let it go.
He took back all the money Yu had greedy for ink, confiscated his private property, and seized the right to give up the gift. The punishment for her was to be confiscated, which was equivalent to beating. The people below naturally knew what to do and would not dare to listen to Yu's orders in the future. Of course, what should be dealt with must be dealt with.
Catching one or two out is enough to kill one to warn a hundred, and knock on the mountain and shake the tiger.
Zhou naturally understood this principle, and it would affect the whole body. If everyone dealt with it completely, it would be equivalent to telling outsiders that the Xiao Mansion was uneasy. Moreover, if the people in charge of the business and the newcomers were not familiar with the internal affairs, it would be easy to cause trouble if they replaced them like this.
"Don't worry, my daughter-in-law knows it."
The old lady nodded, "You are a person who is sensible, I don't worry." After a pause, she said, "Your brother and sister are confused. I can't let the descendants of the Xiao family lose their hands. Sister Shu'er's temper follows her mother. If this continues, she may cause any disaster. Awan is the eldest sister, calm and intelligent. In the future, she will come and sit more and set an example for those little ones, so that they can learn more. No one is locked in the mansion and become frogs in the well, and learn as superficial as your brother and sister. In the future, she will go out of the mansion and make people laugh."
What the implication is that he really treats Ji Wan as a girl from the Xiao family.
Zhou smiled with his eyebrows and eyes, "It is what she should do to be filial to the elders. She is also reckless and just comes to her mother to learn a little calmness. Her mother doesn't bother her."
The old lady smiled.
Before Zhou passed by, she had a deep conversation with the eldest daughter who was the queen. The eldest daughter praised the girl of the Ji family for her kindness and kindness, and her cleverness, and her words and deeds were generous, and she deserved the title of "a noble girl from a famous family".
Even her always-cool and arrogant Changsun listened to the girl's words. The girl Shu's temper was just enough to grind the girl's hands. Those who were born in the third house should learn more and see how they wiped out the clichés of the rural family and became so dignified, elegant, generous and decent now.
After Zhou returned, he conveyed the old lady's words to his eldest daughter, and Ji Wan was a little surprised.
"Mom, Xiao Shu from the third room has a bigger temper than Ji Yun. She has been spoiled since childhood, but she can't bear the hardship. That time she was at Awen's side, probably she had a grudge against me. She asked me to teach her, and she wanted to swallow me alive."
To be honest, Xiao Shu is also a legitimate daughter after all, but her words, deeds, and behaviors are not as good as her concubines.
This shows how failed the third lady’s education was.
So Ji Wan agreed with the old lady who wanted to raise Xiao Shu himself. Otherwise, Xiao Shu would definitely be a savage and arrogant daughter when she grew up. It would be fine if she was at home, but she might cause some big trouble after getting married. At that time, her parents' home would have to clean up the mess for her.
If the third wife is smart, she should be grateful to the old lady for her good intentions.
There are also those girls Xiao Zhen. If the third wife was a virtuous mother, it would be necessary to raise a concubine's daughter. However, she has shallow eyes and petty limbs, and is dissatisfied with the children born from the concubine. The children she taught were either autistic, timid or as extreme and narrow-minded as her.
The third lady kept thinking about her own face and did not care about the face of the entire Xiao family. She wanted to rely on the glory of the Xiao family and to make a fortune by relying on the Xiao family, but she was unwilling to contribute to the Xiao family.
Fortunately, my mother got married, otherwise the Xiao family would be defeated by that woman sooner or later.
So marrying a wife and a virtuous person is really a famous saying.
"Your grandmother values you, so she lets you go." Zhou looked at her eldest daughter lovingly, "Although you three have not entered the Xiao family's genealogy, they have now remarried with me to the Xiao family. To outsiders, you are the girls of the Xiao family, representing the Xiao family. If a girl from the Xiao family makes a mistake, you will also suffer. The so-called prosperity and loss are both prosperous and loss are the same. This is the reason. Your grandmother is right, you are the eldest. Your grandmother and father both recognize you as a girl from the Xiao family. If Xiao Shu is disrespectful to you, you have the qualification to teach her a lesson."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Ji Wan smiled, "Grandma knew that I didn't say anything when she opened a store, and I was very grateful. She is kind and gentle, and she respects me so much, so I always have to repay her."
Zhou touched his daughter's head with relief and asked another question.
"Aren't you going to start making sauce-based duck? On the day you go back, I told your second aunt that she would send someone to the farm and the farm outside the city to pass messages and transport the ducks to the workshop. After all, the workshop is messy, you can just go over and take a look on the first day, and you don't have to come in person every day. When the sale is done, you will let the manager come and talk back."
"good."
Zeng Yuan and his family were taking care of the workshop. Even the miscellaneous people were assigned by Zhou’s family to give birth to children. The contract for selling their bodies was in her hands, and they were all trustworthy people.
There are many ducks purchased this year, and the sauce-flavored duck will probably be sold for more than half a month. After a while of rest, you can sell sausages and bacon next month.
Many people can make bacon, but some people think it’s troublesome and don’t know how to make it by themselves. Moreover, not everyone makes the same taste. After her sausage is sold, they don’t believe that bacon cannot be sold.
The most difficult thing to deal with is the pigs going into the water.
In the past, in the north, her pigs were sold directly to Zuixianju. Now in the capital, who did she sell them? After thinking for a long time, she thought of the workers who built a factory in the western suburbs.
There are many people there and they are not picky about the food. They eat whatever the chef cooks. She just takes the chef over and makes the pigs in person, so that they will not forget it once they eat it.
If pigs go into the water, they can sell them.
After making up his mind, Ji Wan asked someone to go to Anguo Duke's Mansion to hand out a post to Lu Feiyan and invited her to a hot pot restaurant for a gathering.
The two young sisters haven't seen each other for a while, and as soon as they entered the door, Lu Feiyan gave Ji Wan a big hug.
"Awan, you finally remember me, you don't know. During this period, my mother was thinking about getting engaged to me every day, and even dragged my elder sister to see her. I was almost annoyed."
She pouted, looking depressed.
Ji Wan pulled her down and sat down, "Aren't your mother and your sister doing it for you? Don't worry, they will definitely choose a good husband for you and will not let you suffer any losses."
Lu Feiyan pursed his lips, "By the way, it's rare for you to ask me out, is there something wrong?"
"Yes." Ji Wan looked at her, "I want you to help me give me a few words to your third brother and ask him to do a favor."
Lu Feiyan's eyes rolled rumblingly, and he was immediately aroused of curiosity, "What are you talking about? Don't worry, my third brother will definitely do your best to do your business."
“Not that exaggerated.”
Ji Wan smiled and told her what she thought.
Lu Feiyan immediately widened his eyes and said incrediblely: "Can pigs be eaten even if they go into the water?"
"Of course."
Ji Wan said: "Your brother has eaten it too. Why don't you believe in my cooking skills?"
"How can it be?" Lu Feiyan immediately laughed again, "Whatever you cook is delicious, of course I believe you. Humph, the third brother is really good. He has something good to enjoy and doesn't tell me. When he comes back tonight, I must ask him for an explanation."
Ji Wan chuckled.
"Awan, you said that you have such good cooking skills and so many strange dishes. Why don't you open a restaurant by yourself?" Lu Feiyan looked at her with his head tilted, "The profit of opening a restaurant is higher than your hot pot restaurant, so you should worry less."
"I thought about it, too."
Ji Wan sighed, "But I have opened hot pot, and it is exclusive. Look at those imitations, who has the best business in my store? Even if I hire a famous chef, it will not be as good as the traffic in my store. This means that I can open a branch nationwide in the future, and it will still be the only one. But restaurants are different, especially in places like Beijing, where nobles gather. When people go to restaurants, most of them do not go to eat, but to talk about things and drink. And the old signs have a certain background, and they will ensure their secrets. If I open a restaurant, at most they can guarantee customers.
I have to bother to train the chef and set up another management plan, which will be very troublesome. Even if I can win over a group of diners who only eat, I can guarantee income. Where can the restaurant come from? You know, an industry like a restaurant must have a good location to ensure customer flow. But if the location is good, people have been working for many years, and have a reputation and a customer, who would like to give me the restaurant? Do you ask me to find a remote place to rebuild a restaurant? Not to waste energy and financial resources, I can't promote it, so I will have to lose money?"
"Too."
Lu Feiyan once again lamented that he did not have the talent to do business.
"So, do you still have to open a hot pot branch in the future?"
"Yeah." Ji Wan nodded, and a spark ignited in her eyes. "My goal is to open a Ji's hot pot all over the country, so that the hot pot can be popular all over Dayan and even outside the West."
Lu Feiyan looked at her amazingly bright gaze, and a sense of pride suddenly rose in her heart.
"Awan, why don't I join the company too. When you open a branch, I will invest half of the money and provide staff. How about you give me dividends?"
"OK."
Ji Wan's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and she responded very readily, and then frowned again.
"But, will your parents agree?"
"Don't worry, it's okay." Lu Feiyan said with a smile: "Who from famous nobles doesn't have many shops? I don't need to show up every day to talk about business with others. Aren't you also the boss behind the scenes? My parents are not such a pedantic person, and they will agree."
"Then let's make a decision. When I decide to open a branch, I will send someone to tell you."
"Well, one word is certain!"
