When she left, Mrs. King's smile faded.
Silver Red carefully asked, "Madam, do you think Mu Yunyao is trustworthy?"
"For the time being, I don't see any problems." If she had to be trusted, she would only be thirteen years old. If she had to be trusted, embroidery, clothes, nectar, tea, and now that she was proficient in pharmacology, it didn't seem like anything a girl of that age would be able to grasp.
"This servant always feels that this Miss Mu Yunyao doesn't look like a mortal."
"At least for now, we have a good relationship with her. She's very meticulous, and as long as we try our best to protect her, she can maintain this relationship, which is beneficial for me. From now on, you have to be more respectful to her, do you understand?"
"Yes Madam, this servant understands." Silver Red was a bit uneasy. Her previous attitude wasn't considered kind and she had even accepted a hundred taels of silver from Mu Yunyao. Now that Madame had requested something from her, would she secretly obstruct him?
When they returned home, Mu Yunyao immediately pulled Su Qing away happily, "Mother, let's go quickly. I'll bring you to see my newly-arranged workshop."
"Child, slow down, slow down."
"That's our treasure-gathering pot, of course we have to hurry up and take a look." Mu Yunyao pulled Su Qing onto the carriage, and continued chattering non-stop, "Mother, what do you think the name of our Soo Cuisine is? "Your head storekeeper, I'm the head storekeeper, Jinlan and the others are hired workers ..."
Seeing her happy expression, Su Qing couldn't help but feel happy."Fine, no matter what you say, it's fine."
Mu Yunyao smiled until her eyes bent, and when she got out of the carriage, her bright eyes were even filled with golden and dazzling joy. She steadily stopped the carriage, and when she saw her appearance out of the corner of her eyes, she couldn't help but halt her horse.
The innkeeper of the restaurant quickly walked out and saw Mu Yunyao respectfully saluted."This little money, greetings to Madam Su and Lady Mu. Lady Jin has already instructed me to wait here for Miss. If there's anything I need to do, please feel free to tell me."
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but sigh at Lady Jin's consideration. It was likely that after the two of them had agreed on the lease agreement, Lady Jin had someone come over and inform the restaurant owner."Thank you, Manager Jin." This name was indeed auspicious. If the person was not bad, it could still be retained.
"My lady is too polite."
Mu Yunyao pulled Su Qing into the small building. It had a total of three floors and an exceptionally spacious interior. Because it was previously a restaurant, the first floor was spacious and the second floor was separated into many elegant rooms. The decorations were more exquisite.
"Mother, what do you think?"
Su Qing was naturally not dissatisfied. She was only worried about the price."The rent isn't cheap, right?"
"This restaurant belongs to Lady Jin. I have a good relationship with her, so she is willing to rent it for 70% of the market price. It's very cheap." According to the market price, this year's rent was around two thousand taels of silver. After all, the territory and layout were there, but there was no need for his mother.
When Su Qing heard that it was only seventy percent of the market price, she immediately let out a sigh of relief, "Since Lady Jin is taking care of you like this, you must also be sincere in waiting."
"Yes, mother, don't worry. When our workshop is established, I will make Lady Jin's clothes for free."
"En, " Su Qing nodded and then added, "You should prepare more gifts for the New Year." Lady Jin's identity was noble. Although the clothes Yun Yao made were good, they were still too thin.
Mu Yunyao hurriedly replied, "Yes, we all listen to our mother." Mother naturally did not know that right now, there were many people holding silver coins and queuing up for her to help make clothes. Once the business of the embroidery building opened, it would be even more difficult to find clothes that she personally made!
The shopkeeper saw the opportunity and went up to explain in detail, "Madam, Miss, please see what needs to be changed in the restaurant. After you have decided on it, I will arrange for people to start the construction immediately. Within half a month, Xiufang will be open for business."
Hearing that, Su Qing felt joy in her heart, "This place is so beautifully decorated, there's nothing to change right ......" Yao'er, what do you think? "
"The restaurant is bustling with people, and my restaurant only receives a few female customers, so it has to be altered. Let's take a look today, and when we return and draw the blueprints, we'll have someone send them to the shopkeeper."
"Alright." Manager Jin quickly agreed.
The two of them walked around the restaurant a few times and finally felt satisfied. They discussed going back home to celebrate with some side dishes, and just as they left the restaurant, they saw the manager of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion alighting from the carriage.
The face of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion's shopkeeper twitched, a burst of anger gushing his face flushed red: "You ...... "You ..."
Mu Yunyao instead greeted him with a smile, but glanced at his eyebrows with a heavy gaze. The smile in her eyes became even wider: "Manager, how have you been?"
"Hmph, of course not as complacent as Lady Mu." He had originally thought that after the fall of the Spring Embroidery Workshop, the business of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion would improve a little, but he had never expected that those people would rather wait with silver than buy the carefully crafted clothes of the pavilion. The culprit behind all this was the little girl in front of him!
"The manager of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion is too kind. I'm afraid that I can't even compare to a single finger of the owner."
Just as he was about to say something, he saw six men holding swords pulling a carriage over. He was immediately frightened and took a step back."We have met each other in the mountains and rivers. Lady Mu and I are considered to be travelling together. Lady Mu, please take care of yourself."
"Thank you for your reminder, Manager. Speaking of which, I've met with you many times, but what is your name?"
The manager of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion only felt as if he had just been punched in cotton."Tan Lu!"
Mu Yunyao smiled and nodded."Shopkeeper Tan, it's not convenient today. I'll treat you to tea another day and take my leave."
He was stunned for a while before calming down. He looked at the smiling shopkeeper Jin, "Shopkeeper Jin, I heard that Lady Jin intends to close the restaurant, so I came here to ask if you can let me rent this small building to you?" He intended to expand the size of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion and open a branch here.
"Unfortunately, this place has already been rented out."
"It's been rented out? "Who did you rent it to?"
"Didn't you already see him just now, Manager Tan?"
"You mean... That little girl? "
The smile on Shopkeeper Jin's face faded. He cupped his fist and said, "There are still many things I have to busy myself with. I'll treat you to tea another day."
Only after a while did the manager of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion come back to his senses. The shopkeeper had been giving him a look, and it was because he had said 'little girl' that made his face turn cold. Just who was Mu Yunyao to make Lady Jin and the shopkeeper look at her in a different light?
Mu Yunyao and Su Qing discussed for three days in a row before they finally finished drawing the blueprints for the renovation of the restaurant. After passing the blueprint to Shopkeeper Jin, Mu Yunyao focused on preparing for the opening.
