Ms. Xie spent all day at home listening to her daughter talk about how awesome her sister was, and was afraid that she would not be able to say "sister". Now that she heard Zhao Ruxi's teachings to her daughter with her own ears, she couldn't help but get hot in her eyes.

When her brother and sister-in-law passed away, they took Xu Xi back to the village. How could they have thought that they would have such an opportunity in the future? Now she is sincerely grateful to the gods for allowing her family to treat Xiao Xi kindly and receive such blessings. Now the blessings are coming.

Mrs. Xie burst into tears of gratitude for having her two children.

Although it took a lot of trouble, Zhao Ruxi acted decisively, picked out the most suitable clothes and jewelry at a glance, and put on makeup very quickly. Therefore, Xu Chongwen only had to recite an article twice before being called out of the door.

When Zhao Ruxi came, she brought two carriages, one for women and one for men, and they headed to the capital together.

After getting on the carriage and sitting down, Ms. Xie felt the sound of horse hooves and the rumble of wheels. It was difficult for the people driving the carriage in front to hear their words. Then she whispered to Zhao Ruxi: "I heard from Xiaoxue that your mother rented a

The house has more than a dozen rooms for two people, but they only charge one tael of silver?"

Zhao Ruxi nodded: "Yes."

"How is this possible? The yard in the capital is at least twice as expensive as our Beining house, and the house is twice as big as ours. Calculating this, the house costs at least eight taels of silver. A newer house costs ten taels and up.

.You said it was only one tael, are you trying to trick me?"

She stared at Zhao Ruxi: "Tell me, is your mother trying to fill us in?"

Zhao Ruxi shook her head: "I don't know about this. I didn't go to see what the house looked like. I will tell you what my mother said."

As she said that, she blinked at Mr. Xie innocently.

That night she heard from Mr. Zhu that these two houses only cost one tael of silver, and she knew that Mr. Zhu wanted to make up for the Xu family privately, or that the family wanted to ask Mr. Zhu for something, so they lowered the rent to such a low price.

.

Her mother was willing to be good to the Xu family because they were good to her and wanted to repay the kindness for her. If she had excused herself for the Xu family, it seemed like she was ungrateful in Zhu's eyes, so she remained silent at that time. Since

Zhu wanted to hide it, but she couldn't admit it.

"You!" Mrs. Xie pointed her forehead with her finger, and then said categorically, "We can't rent this house. How can we take advantage of your house? Besides, in such a big yard, it would be too wasteful for you, Brother Chongwen, to live alone.

We only need to rent a small house for two or three hundred cents. Tell your mother not to look at this house anymore, just return it."

"Aunt." Zhao Ruxi said seriously, "Do you think your business will be bigger in Beining or in the capital?"

Ms. Xie didn't expect that Zhao Ruxi would jump to the topic so quickly. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "Of course he is the big one in the capital."

Although they had only supplied food to the restaurants in the capital in the past two days, and the stalls they planned to set up had not yet been set up, they knew without any calculation that the business in the capital must be huge.

The population of the capital is more than ten times greater than that of Bac Ninh; and the people of the capital are rich and willing to give up food and clothing. Rich families and wealthy families will not come to buy their cold dishes, but small officials and small families are still very willing to buy them. More

Needless to say, there are many more large and small restaurants in Beijing than in Beining, and the demand is also huge.

Although the restaurant's master chefs may try a few more times to make their cold dishes almost the same. However, their cold dishes are cheap, taste good, and use high-quality raw materials. Many restaurants don't want to take the trouble.

, I am still willing to cooperate with them. As long as we visit a few more companies, this business in the capital can become even more prosperous.

Zhao Ruxi nodded and said: "That's it. Since the capital is big, and it may be one or two times bigger than Beining, why don't you put the place where you make cold dishes in the capital? In this way, the amount sent back to Beining will be smaller.

Yes. I advised you to buy someone the other day, but you said there was no place to settle it. Isn’t this courtyard just right?"

"Furthermore, Brother Chongwen has a hard time studying. Why do you let him go back to the rented place after school without even a cup of hot tea and have to cook his own food? I know you are used to saving.

Whatever you think can be done, as long as it can be done, don’t hire people. But money is not saved, but earned. As long as we set up more stalls and add more varieties, we can make back the money we paid for renting the house."

Mr. Xie frowned in thought and remained silent.

"Yes, mother, just listen to your sister. Think about it, if it weren't for the recipe given by your sister, we wouldn't be able to do this business; if it weren't for your sister's advice to you and your father, you would still want to set up a small stall and earn money by yourself.

A little bit of hard-earned money, just waiting for others to learn how to do it and take our business away; if it weren't for my sister's persuasion, dad would not have brought his business to the capital to make more money."

"So don't think too much, just listen to sister. Sister will not harm us." Xu Xue whispered.

Zhao Ruxi couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

She stretched out her hand and pinched Xu Xue's young face, and said to Mrs. Xie: "Aunt, I'm not a god, so I can't say everything is right. I just want to say, you see, Brother Chongwen wants to take the scholar examination, and he will definitely be a scholar in the future.

You have to go further and further in the imperial examination; Xiaoxue is also so promising. The business at home is getting bigger and bigger. You can no longer look at problems with the old ideas in the village. Put on some clothes and eat a meal.

You have to calculate whether it’s a good deal or not. Look at what you’re wearing today, didn’t you spend so much money? It shows that people still need to be decent.”

"Now that we have made money, let Brother Chongwen go out and take care of a book boy. Xiaoxue can also have a maid who is decent and respectable. It will be easy to get married in the future, don't you think? And wait until you open your stall in the capital.

Now, I will think of ways to add a few more varieties to you, not just selling cold dishes. When the time comes, you will still be doing it yourself, and you can't do anything by yourself? If you don't make any money, you will still work hard, and this way the family business will last forever.

It’s not big.”

Xu Yongyi has been running around more now, his horizons have broadened, and his thoughts are different from before. He also told Mr. Xie what Zhao Ruxi said.

It's just that Xie stayed in the village for the past thirty years. Her habit of living by counting coins every day, and feeling distressed when she spent an extra penny, cannot be changed by simply changing it.

Spending a lot of money to rent a house, and then spending a lot of money to buy a house, and thinking that all the money earned during this period may have to be spent, and she has to pay so much money in rent every month, she felt very distressed. Therefore, she disagreed.

Xie added: "But Xiaoxue is still studying in the county girls' academy. We can't just leave her in Beining, right? Chongwen is a boy, so it's okay to live here alone. Xiaoxue can't live there alone. Even if
