Chapter 122 Successful opening

Hua Niang didn't expect that she would get a share. In fact, she was really happy these two days. Although she was renting a house at Aunt Mei's house, Aunt Mei and Yue Niang were very kind to her. The two daughters didn't have to work all day long, or even be scolded by others. They smiled more often.

She had originally thought of saving money slowly and then building her own small house, but she didn't expect Su Man to bring it up now.

Her eyes were blurred with tears. "No need, Sister Su. I will save up some money and build it slowly later."

"What's the big deal? It's been hard for both of you. Now you've finally gotten out of that family. It's normal for me to help you as your friend. I've already decided. We'll build it together when the time comes. There are people in the village who can build houses, and it won't cost much to ask them to help."

Indeed, the houses that Hua Niang and Lian Di want to build are ordinary houses and will not cost much money.

She should help as much as she can now, and hope that God will be nicer to the two children because she has done so many good things.

Hua Niang and Lian Di were so moved that they didn't know what to say. In the end, they could only nod their heads and express their gratitude.

The group of people, some riding in horse carriages and some riding in ox carts, came directly to the outside of Youran Ju.

Everyone was very surprised when they saw Su Man stop at the door of Youran Ju.

At this time, Youran Ju was not open yet. After all, it was only around eight o'clock in the morning, and they only served lunch and dinner.

But because Su Man asked Fu Si to come over and talk yesterday, the new shopkeeper of Youranju was already waiting at the door.

The new shopkeeper Wang is a middle-aged man with a smiling face and looks very kind.

"Madam, I am Wang Fu, nice to meet you."

Everyone was very surprised when they heard him call her Madam Su Man.

Su Man nodded slightly. Since this person called her Madam, he must be Fu Xiu's man.

Since you have decided to accept Youran Ju, there is no need to be pretentious. There is nothing unacceptable about being called Madam.

"You'ranju belongs to the child's father, and now it has been transferred to my name, so they call me Madam."

She did not hide this. After all, there were so many people around, and she had to let others know why Youran Ju became hers.

Aunt Cui and the others were also shocked when they heard this, especially Wang Dafu who brought them here, whose expression changed slightly.

That man, is he actually willing to give such a big restaurant to Su Man?

"Oh! Xiao Su! Your man is so good to you!" Aunt Cui said excitedly.

"He must like you very much, otherwise why would he be willing to give you such a big restaurant? He must love you terribly!"

"Of course. Who wouldn't like a good woman like our Xiao Su? If that man didn't have Xiao Su, how could he be like this now? Not to mention whether he can wake up, even the two children are not sure whether they can survive?!"

Aunt Mei was also very proud, as if in her eyes, Su Man was the best in the world, and that kind of pride was like that of her own daughter.

The others also responded with a smile. Now they also liked Su Man very much because they knew that Ning An was the best person in the world. There has never been anyone as good as Su Man.

Su Man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In order to avoid continuing the conversation, she immediately changed the subject and asked the person to go into the restaurant.

"Okay, stop talking. Let's go in and sit down and eat something. Then we'll go to the Xiaqiu Building across the street and start working."

"What? Going into Youranju to eat?"

"No, no, how can this be possible? We have never dared to set foot in the big restaurants here."

"Yeah, we won't eat, let's go in and work first."

"Besides, only rich people can come here. Poor people like us should not go there, so as not to delay your business."

No one wanted to go, as they didn't want Su Man to waste her time.

"Okay, this is my place and my restaurant now. You can eat whenever you want. There are no rules. Rich people are people, poor people are people too. What's more, this is my restaurant. If I tell you to go in, you can go in. I'm your boss. Are you going to disobey me now?"

She pretended to be angry, and everyone present really got anxious. But no one thought Su Man was bad, or that Su Man was scolding them, because they all knew that Su Man was really doing it for their own good and wanted them to have breakfast.

The last group of people went straight into Youran Ju. It was their first time here, so they were still a little nervous.

As soon as we sat down, the waiter from Youran Ju immediately brought the food. The table was full of food and it smelled delicious.

Su Man had eaten some at home in the morning. She also understood that the villagers were used to being frugal and usually did not eat in the morning, so she planned to bring them here to eat now.

"This meal is the start-of-work meal. Everyone, hurry up and eat. There are also red envelopes here. They are all start-of-work red envelopes. Take them, eat, and then follow me to work across the street."

Su Man smiled and distributed ten-cent copper coins wrapped in red paper to everyone present, even Dafu was among them.

"I...I'm just helping to drive the car. How can I ask for a red envelope from you?" Dafu looked reserved and very embarrassed.

Su Man curled the corners of her mouth.

"It's okay. I expected your share. I think the store will need someone to go shopping in the future. Since your brother is the shopkeeper, you can stay and work if you don't mind. For the time being, your salary will be the same as Aunt Mei and the others.

The main thing is to see if someone wants to go back to the village, and send them back. Those who don't want to go back to the village can stay in the store. I have prepared dormitories for you. Do you agree to this?"

Su Man had already told Aunt Mei and the others about the dormitory, so they knew about it. However, they did not expect that Su Man would actually arrange for them to return to the village on regular days.

This incident made them unable to hold back their eyes from reddening, and they felt somewhat moved.

Of course Wang Dafu agreed, not only because it was a stable job, but also because it was an opportunity to get close to Su Man.

He believed that as long as he and Su Man fell in love with each other over time, Su Man would always look at him!

Besides, Aunt Mei and the others all knew that Su Man did it to make it easier for others to return to the village, so how could he not know that?

Su Man, really, he had never seen such a good girl, he liked her so much.

Now that he finally has this opportunity, he must seize it!

Everyone held the red envelopes given by Su Man tightly in their hands, their faces filled with emotion, and secretly swore in their hearts that they must work hard for Su Man!

Of course, it’s not only because of Su Man, but also because of themselves. As long as they have stable jobs, they can live a good life in the future and make themselves live better.

Su Man asked everyone to eat first, while she and Wang Fu went to the side to talk.

Fu Fu was very clear about Su Man's identity. He was also a loyal soldier of the Fu family. He was about to kneel down to Su Man, but was stopped by Su Man.

"Don't kneel, let's talk business first. We are all family, it's not good to kneel here and there."

Fu Fu was stunned. Although he had known from Shopkeeper Fu that Su Man was a different person, he didn't feel anything when he first heard it. Now that he had experienced it personally, he finally understood what was going on.

This feeling is really different.

"Okay, okay, thank you ma'am, thank you ma'am."

"Let's talk about the current situation in the store first. Is everything the same as before or has there been any changes?"

"Madam, there is no change, except that the shopkeeper has changed from Butler Fu to me. Butler Fu said that you can come to me if you have any questions, and she has arranged everything in the store, so you can rest assured, madam."

Su Man nodded. She had no doubts about this matter. After all, she knew about Manager Fu's methods.

"Put this notice on the door later. When Xiaqiulou across the street opens tomorrow, let all customers know."

This notice was actually written by Su Man regarding tomorrow's business hours, and it also stated that a snack could be given for every purchase of a certain amount.

Fu Fu took the paper from Su Man's hand and agreed immediately.

"Don't worry, ma'am. I will definitely take care of it."

After breakfast, Su Man took the group to the Xia Qiu Building opposite. Only Wang Dagui stayed in Youran Residence to study with Fu Fu in advance to prepare for tomorrow.

After opening the door, everything was done according to what Su Man said. There were small tables, medium tables, and large tables, and people could sit at them according to their number. It was very convenient.

It was also very clean and tidy, and you could tell at a glance that it had been specially cleaned. There were even all kinds of bowls, chopsticks and cutlery in the kitchen, as well as a stone mill that Su Man had specially put there, and even some food ingredients, but not much.

Su Man led the group to the dormitory. The women's dormitory was in the backyard, and the men's dormitory was on the second floor.

When several people saw the bunk beds made by Su Man, their eyes widened.

"This... this house is so nice." Mei Zi couldn't help but sigh, "We have never lived in such a nice place at home."

Several people nodded. They had indeed never lived in such a nice house.

"The space is limited, so you can only live in one room together." Su Man said.

There are only three rooms in the backyard. There is a room with a kitchen on the west side, and there are two rooms on the east side. Su Man plans to live in the east side herself and let them live in the west side.

"Of course it's good. It's more lively with more people. What's more, this place is so nice. We are so happy."

Seeing this, Su Man also smiled. After watching the few people put away all their things, she began to take them to familiarize themselves with the store. While familiarizing themselves with the store, she also explained clearly the preparations for tomorrow and future matters concerning the store.

Everyone was fascinated by the story and remembered everything in their hearts.

Around noon, Su Man took Wang Dafu to buy ingredients and negotiate prices. Wang Dafu followed Su Man and took notes, after all, he would be the one to do the shopping in the future.

Because of the notice at the door, there were already many people waiting at the door before the store opened today.

This is exactly the effect Su Man wanted.

At night, no one went back. After all, tomorrow was the first day of business. What if something went wrong if they went back?

Su Man waited until everyone fell asleep before coming to the lobby with the paint.

She planned to paint some flowers and plants in the lobby. People here had never seen them before, and adding something different would attract customers.

As for whether she would be discovered, she had thought about it, and this world was originally a painting, so she was not afraid of being exposed or being too out of line.

Fu Si and Fu Qi had been paying attention to Su Man, so when they saw Su Man writing and drawing on the wall with so many colorful things, there was a bit of confusion on their faces.

"Madam, what are you doing?" Seeing Su Man actually painting some such beautiful and lifelike flowers and plants on a wall, his eyes widened instantly and he couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it's painting. Don't you understand? Can't you understand these flowers and plants?" Su Man said slowly, but her hands didn't slow down at all.

Fu Si and the others of course knew that Su Man was painting, especially when the painting was so lifelike. It was because the painting was so good that they couldn't help but ask.

Fu Si: "But...but Madam, the painting is so good, what are you doing?"

"Of course it's for people to see. Something different will attract more customers and give people a bright feeling. By the way, you two should go to bed first. I don't need your help here. I will go back to bed after I finish the painting."

"No, we promised our master that we would take good care of you, Madam."

Su Man hid for a moment when she suddenly heard Fu Xiu. She hadn't mentioned Fu Xiu in the past two days, but now that he was suddenly mentioned, she had a very strange feeling in her heart.

Two days have passed, and no one knows where the father and his two sons have gone.

Ugh……

"Okay, you guys just watch here, but it might take me a long time, as I have to paint some upstairs as well."

"Don't worry, ma'am. We are not in a hurry. We just don't know if there is anything you need our help with."

"No, just sit aside and wait for me. Or can you draw?"

The two of them were silent for a moment, lowering their heads in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry ma'am, we... won't."

Su Man also guessed that the two of them wouldn't, so she just smiled.

"Then you guys just continue to wait by the side, I can handle it by myself."

Fu Si and Fu Qi had no choice but to remain silent.

Once Su Man devotes herself to something she wants to do, she will be very focused, so during the following painting time, she hardly spoke to Fu Si and Fu Qi.

She rubbed her sore shoulders only after she finished painting the walls upstairs and downstairs.

"Okay, go back and rest. It's getting late. We need to be up early tomorrow morning."

The two of them lived with her on the east side, after all, they needed to take care of Su Man nearby.

After Su Man entered the room, she immediately entered the space. She had been sleeping in the space for the past two days.

Everyone got up before five in the morning of the next day. After all, they had to make breakfast and the door had to be opened at six, so the ingredients had to be prepared an hour in advance.

When everyone got up and saw the newly renovated restaurant, their eyes widened.

"Xiao Su, what's going on? How come you become so beautiful in just one night?"

"I drew this last night because I couldn't sleep. Now let's go make something to eat and then start business."

Because this is not a modern place, there is no way to put up flower baskets or anything like that. All we can do is stick a big red paper on the door with the words "Good Luck in Opening" written on it.
