Chapter 181 Almost meaningless
This time, Xie Jiaojiao just shook her hand and said, "No!"
The servant stood there for a long time, and seeing that Xie Jiaojiao showed no intention of getting up from the chair, he went to reply on his own.
Jiang Weinan continued to play chess with Jiang Ruonan.
Xie Jiaojiao watched for a while and felt very bored: "What you guys are doing is so boring!"
Jiang Weinan raised his eyebrows and threw the chess piece in his hand into the box: "If you think it's boring, then why don't you make something interesting?"
Xie Jiaojiao clapped her hands: "I'll do it, get out of the way!"
Xie Jiaojiao sat in his seat.
Let Jiang Ruonan pick up the chess pieces on the table.
Jiang Weinan brought a stool and sat next to him, watching with interest to see what his wife came up with.
Xie Jiaojiao said to the two of them: "Let's play Gobang."
"What is Gobang?" Jiang Ruonan asked.
Xie Jiaojiao immediately grabbed a handful of chess pieces and started practicing on the chessboard: "See? As long as these five chess pieces are connected in a line, then we win."
"This is quite interesting!" Jiang Weinan said with a smile.
"Isn't this more interesting than the game of Go you guys played?"
As they spoke, several people started to work.
This is one day...
The yard was filled with Jiang Weinan's dissatisfaction all day long.
"Xie Jiaojiao, you've already walked down, but now you're taking it back, aren't you being a rogue?"
"I didn't think it through!"
"Jiang Ruonan, you can't act like a rogue, or I'll beat you up."
"Cousin! Please let me go just once..."
……
The rain stopped in the second half of the night, and Xie Jiaojiao got up early the next morning.
I was doing morning exercises in the yard. I haven’t moved for a long time and I felt like my bones were a little loose.
The two maids were puzzled when they saw her doing strange movements in the yard!
After all, some of the ladies they knew would definitely not do these... um... how should I put it? Oh, not very elegant actions.
What kind of girl would spread her hips so wide and raise her hands so high...
People will laugh at you.
Xie Jiaojiao stretched out and felt refreshed all over.
Jiang Weinan just finished washing up and got up. Today was the second day, and his face looked much better, but the bruises were still there.
Ruonan also got up early and read a book. When she saw that it was time for breakfast, she came over from her room.
The three of them were eating breakfast, and Jiang Ruonan asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing today?"
Xie Jiaojiao took a sip of porridge and said, "I'm going to the restaurant today to take a look. Do you want to come with me? By the way, I also need to discuss something with Manager Chen!"
Jiang Ruonan nodded quickly.
Jiang Weinan didn't say anything, and Xie Jiaojiao didn't ask him whether he was going or not.
Just after finishing breakfast, the carriage arranged by Manager Wang arrived, and Xie Jiaojiao went out with her maids Xiuyun and Jiang Ruonan.
When we arrived at the restaurant, almost a month had passed and the decoration of the restaurant was almost completed.
When Shopkeeper Chen saw her coming, he came up with some dried tangerine peel.
"Madam, the restaurant will be completed in the next two days. The tableware is also ready, and the owner of the furniture shop has come to measure the dimensions!"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded and walked upstairs.
Pointing to the room on the second floor, he asked, "Are the fans I asked to be installed in each room ready?"
Shopkeeper Chen nodded: "It can be installed in the next two days."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "That's good!"
Because the second floor is for hot pot, Xie Jiaojiao plans to use wooden boards to make the shape of leaves like those in an electric fan!
Then a mechanism is installed inside, just like the animal toys we played with when we were children. There is a rope, and as long as you pull the rope, the little animal can crawl on its own!
At first she thought it might not be possible, but when she explained the principle, the carpenter became interested and studied it for a few days before finding some methods. He said that he couldn't make the fan last as long as Xie Jiaojiao described, but it should be no problem to make the fan blades rotate a few times. When it was hot, he could just arrange for someone to pull the rope and it would be done!
On the third floor, at the innermost part there is a stage in front of it, with some stands like in later generations, and behind the stands are several higher steps forming a circle around the stage. This is equivalent to a corridor with a dining table, so that people who eat there can see the performance on the stage.
Originally, they wanted to build the stage in the middle, but it was not until Manager Chen heard her say that the third floor was where performances were performed that he gave her the suggestion.
Everything was prepared very well.
Jiang Ruonan looked at the restaurant which had changed so much and for a moment he was unsure what his cousin's wife was going to do.
"Cousin, isn't it a bit too much to make this dining area so fancy?"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled gently: "To be honest, if you were eating, would you feel that if the dishes looked and tasted the same, you could eat anywhere?"
Jiang Ruonan nodded: "What else? It's just a meal."
"You're right if you think so!"
Jiang Ruonan was even more confused when he heard this.
Xie Jiaojiao said: "I just want everyone who eats here to feel that eating somewhere else is not as good as it used to be! Do you understand?"
Jiang Ruonan's eyes lit up immediately when she pointed him out: "Cousin, you are a genius in business!"
Xie Jiaojiao didn't say anything. She just used someone else's successful plan.
At first, Shopkeeper Chen actually thought it was just a meal, but there was a stage and a fan...
But when I heard this, I immediately gave this young lady a thumbs up in my heart!
This young lady is really a thoughtful person, and she is willing to put in the effort!
After inspecting the restaurant, Xie Jiaojiao said to Shopkeeper Chen: "Uncle Chen, I want to ask you something."
Shopkeeper Chen immediately said respectfully: "Young Madam, just speak frankly."
"Yesterday, I cut off my family's food business from the Jiang family, but my soy sauce factory, as you know, has expanded in scale before, and the shop under our name now will definitely not be able to take over. Do you know any acquaintances? I want to find some new buyers!"
When Shopkeeper Chen heard this, he was slightly surprised. How could this young lady, who had married into the Jiang family, ruin the business? However, this was the boss's business after all, so he didn't dare to ask more questions.
"I used to know some owners of grain and oil shops in the county, but we haven't done business with them for so many years... But don't worry, I will definitely talk to them someday."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Chen."
Shopkeeper Chen waved his hands hastily: "Young Madam, what are you talking about? In fact, if you really have a large production of soy sauce, why don't you open a soy sauce shop yourself? As long as you have a shop, the business will come naturally!"
The speaker did not mean it, but the listener took it seriously. Xie Jiaojiao immediately took note of it.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Xie Jiaojiao planned to take Jiang Ruonan back home. When they passed by a roadside food stall, she bought some snacks.
Jiang Ruonan said, "If my cousin likes to eat these, I'll write to grandpa and ask him to bring some over. Our northern snacks have a unique flavor!"
Xie Jiaojiao paid the stall owner and said with a smile: "No need, I will definitely go and try it myself if I have the chance in the future!"
Jiang Ruonan smiled immediately and reached out to grab a handful of snacks from the paper bag: "There will definitely be a chance!"
The two of them went all the way back home, but as soon as they entered the door, they were stopped by the servants.
Xie Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows slightly.
The servant said respectfully, "Young Madam, the master wants to see you!"
Jiang Ruonan immediately stopped in front of Xie Jiaojiao: "My cousin's wife said she didn't want to see you yesterday!"
But the old servant didn't move at all, and looked as if he would not give way unless the young lady went.
Seeing that he was determined not to give up, Xie Jiaojiao handed the snack in her hand to Jiang Ruonan: "It's okay, go back and tell your cousin that I will be back soon."
