Awakened Xiangfu Qianjin

Chapter 24 Identity Suspicion

On the first night of work, Chu Yutang straightened her body, lying on Shi Wanwan's soft and spacious bed like a mummy.The people around him fell asleep without any defense, which made Chu Yutang very envious.

Chu Yutang, who couldn't sleep all night, looked at the dark top of the bed, and various strange thoughts popped up in his mind.For example, why did Ms. Shi let herself lie down next to her so reassuringly, without any worry that she would take the opportunity to do something wrong?Another example, why is Miss Shi's illness so strange?According to the doctor's introduction, it is said that the illness was caused by a long sleep at first, and later when I woke up, I was also groggy. Now I have finally improved, but there is still the possibility of sporadic attacks.So, after tonight, will Miss Shi still wake up on time?

With such questions in mind, Chu Yutang stayed up until dawn in a daze, and was finally able to happily start a new business with his real income from labor.In fact, the Chu family's business didn't start from catering, but most of the large-scale expansion in recent years is wine shops and teahouses.

"Yu Tang, you said that opening such a restaurant outside the city can really make money?" Liu Feng looked around, a little suspicious.

Chu Sui didn't make a sound, but she always felt that Chu Yutang was lucky, and even got the hydrangea from the Prime Minister's Mansion.Now that he has the status of the uncle of the Xiangfu, the risk of doing business with her is always much smaller than that of a husband and wife starting a business independently.

"Brother Liu, Sister Liu, look, what's around here?" Chu Yutang casually pointed around.Following the direction her hand pointed, Liu Feng and his wife looked around.The helplessness in his eyes could not be more clear, there is nothing here.

"We are unique just because there is nothing here." Chu Yutang smiled.

"However, it takes more than an hour to walk here to reach the city gate. Why do you have to stop here for dinner? If you walk faster, you can enter the city? There are so many choices in the city." Chu Sui expressed the doubts in his heart.

Chu Yutang looked at Liu Feng and his wife, and there was no wavering or hesitation in his eyes.She explained: "In fact, our restaurant is aimed at specific customers, that is, those ordinary people who have traveled long distances, are hungry, but do not have a lot of money. Or poor scholars who are going to Beijing to catch the exam are also our targets."

"This...then they don't have a lot of money, so they won't come to eat. Anyway, it will cost money." Liu Feng was even more uncertain when he heard Chu Yutang say this, and his tone became anxious.

"Brother Liu, don't worry, just listen to me." Chu Yutang raised his hand to signal Liu Feng to calm down, and then seriously explained his thoughts to them.

"Not having a lot of money doesn't mean they don't have money at all. They always have to eat. But they must feel hungry and tired along the way. In this state, if they persist until they enter the city, they must have a big meal. The rent of shops in the city is much more expensive than outside the city, so the food will not be cheap. If you can eat here and rest, and then walk an hour into the city, you can save a lot of food. Rich people naturally don’t care about it The gap, but those who have to rely on careful calculations to live, it is impossible not to care."

Chu Sui used to live such a life in Renshoufang.You have to plan carefully every day, and you have to count how much you can spend every day.Even so, at the end of the month, it still felt that the position was short.Although she has more money in her hands now, the sense of scarcity imprinted deep in her life makes her still think about spending as little as possible. It would be even better if she could spend less.

Hearing what Chu Yutang said just now, I really think it makes sense.If it were her, she would definitely drag Liu Feng to fill his stomach before going to the city, and he would be able to save money for a meal when he goes to the city.It's not too far from the city gate, so even if you're full and walk into the city, you won't be starving again.An hour's journey will not delay the journey of passers-by.Thinking about it this way, the plan became very feasible.

"Then, we can just take a stall directly. I think there are many tea breaks like this on the way." Liu Feng understood Chu Yutang's thoughts, but he was confused again, why spend dozens of taels,

Get a decent restaurant.

"Brother Liu, our competitors are the serious restaurants in the city. Could it be that we just set up a tent and serve some snacks and tea to expand our business? Then our customers will turn a blind eye to us, Quicken your pace and go to the city to eat." Chu Yutang shook his head lightly, denying Liu Feng's proposal.

"I think what Yu Tang said makes sense. Although I have no experience in the restaurant business, I regard myself as the customers Yu Tang mentioned just now. If I see such a restaurant here, I will go in." Chu Sui thought for a while , agreed with Chu Yutang's statement.

"Sister-in-law Liu, if you think this store tastes good and the price is affordable. After you go to the city, you meet someone who is similar to you, or after you return to your hometown, some fellow countrymen also want to go to Beijing, what will you do?"

"Of course I want to tell them, come here to eat and save money!" Chu Sui blurted out, even she was taken aback.

"That's it. Our store doesn't need to attract all the people who go to Beijing, and our store and manpower can't afford it. But if we can catch the most wanted and most suitable customers, then we will soon gain word of mouth , There will be more and more repeat customers and more and more customers who come here for fame." When Chu Yutang was in Chu's house, he saw many such examples, whether in books or in actual experience.

Liu Feng and his wife looked at each other and felt that Chu Yutang's analysis made sense.Since there is room for development and Chu Yutang is involved in the management, what else do they have to worry about?Wasn't the surplus money in his hand the one that Chu Yutang won for them?

"That's fine! Since Yutang said yes, then let's roll up our sleeves and work hard. We are good at buying mutton, and you know more about business than us. We will do whatever you want us to do." Liu Feng got off Determined to seize this first turning point in life and run a good business.

Chu Yutang was moved by Liu Feng and his wife's trust in her.This sense of trust from the heart is different from all the compliments and praises I heard in the Chu family before.At that time, many people said that she was a rare business genius, and some people were amazed at her large-scale business mergers.In fact, Chu Yutang knew that he was worthy of receiving those beautiful words, but he was only in the name of the heir of the Chu family, and there were so many experienced stewards running and working for him, and he was just sitting back and enjoying the benefits.

After returning to the mansion, Chu Yutang still had this trace of lonely self-mockery on the corner of her mouth, but Shi Wanwan thought that it was because she went to negotiate business today that it was not going well.After careful questioning, it was discovered that Chu Yutang really had some talent for business.If it was a coincidence that she won more benefits for the neighbors in Renshoufang last time, then this time when she runs the restaurant, her thinking is very clear and her goals are clear.This is not something that can be explained by random nonsense.

"Husband, what did you do in your hometown before? Did the family also run the business?" Shi Wanwan didn't care about Chu Yutang's past in the past, as long as she was a person who kept her duty and obeyed her orders honestly.

But now she has to be more careful. First, Chu Yutang's identity as a man disguised as a man puzzled her, and the incident of Renshoufang and the opening of the restaurant reminded her of what her father had said to her before she got married.Could it be that the Chu Yutang in front of him is really the Chu Yutang who is the richest man in Jiangnan?

"My lady, why are you asking that suddenly?" Chu Yutang drank his tea nervously, his eyes wandering around, not daring to look directly at Shi Wanwan.

"I just think you have some business experience, so I'm curious. If your family has never been in business, how do you know these principles?" Shi Wanwan saw Chu Yutang's reaction in her eyes, and her suspicions increased. .

"Well, my hometown is in the south of the Yangtze River, and most of the merchants' homes in that area are small businesses. My father was indeed in business before, but he died of illness very early because of being too tired." Chu Yutang recalled the ignorant memories of his childhood, when his father was born Returning home from afar, it seems that before he had time to give her a hug, he plunged into the study.

"I'm sorry, Husband, I brought up your sadness." Shi Wanwan knew the pain of the death of a loved one, and the death of her mother was not the deepest wound in her heart.Looking at the sadness in Chu Yutang's eyes now, she believed that Chu Yutang's sadness was an expression of his true feelings.

"Although Dad left early, I have always kept his teachings in my heart. It's a pity that I was too young at that time and didn't have the opportunity to learn skills from him, so I became what I am now." Chu Yutang felt ashamed of being the heir of the Chu family With this title, she couldn't even achieve one-tenth of her father's.

"Then..." Shi Wanwan still wanted to ask some details, but seeing Chu Yutang's already flushed eyes, she couldn't bear it.

"My husband must be tired from looking around for shops today. Let's go to bed early." Shi Wanwan suppressed the doubts in her heart.Since Chu Yutang did not deny her family's business background, let her find out the rest.

If Chu Yutang is really that Chu Yutang, there must be a big secret behind it.Shi Wanwan felt the same, so naturally she didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that if she was not careful, both herself and the Prime Minister's Mansion would be implicated.

"Going to sleep again?" Chu Yutang now regards sleeping every day as a job, and when Shi Wanwan reminded her that it was not early, her heart ached again.

"Why, doesn't your husband want to sleep?" Shi Wanwan looked at her puzzled, did she have other plans?

"Oh no no, I naturally want to sleep, and I should." Chu Yutang was afraid that her retreat would cause Shi Wanwan to have other misunderstandings, so she would repeat the gloomy mourning of last night, and quickly walked to the bed.

Besides, she spent the advance money.Not honestly, where did she get the money to pay back!
