Chapter 382 Selling
It seems like if you come and see, Wu Jin will be willing to pay attention to you.

Mao Sanli curled his lips secretly, but ultimately did not say this out loud.

Xia Mingyue also knew what was going on, and smiled, "Doctor Yin has come all the way here, stop standing, come sit over here, I made some new fried rice noodles these past two days, Doctor Yin and Brother Mao will come and try some later."

"Okay, okay." Yin Lingyou agreed hurriedly.

A pair of eyes sparkled with light.

Just like that, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable and had to come here, destined to eat delicious food!

Because of the arrival of Yin Lingyou and Mao Sanli, the evening meal started earlier than usual and the portion was twice as large as usual.

The master and the disciple placed a plate and a basin in front of each other, and they devoured the fragrant fried rice noodles with eggs happily.

"good to eat!"

Yin Lingyou couldn't stop sighing, but while enjoying the delicious food, he told Xia Mingyue some of the conditions at home.

Zhao Youcai's leg injury recovered very well. He only needed to take warm tonic medicine on time every day and have a good rest. In another month or so, he would be able to get out of bed and walk completely. Looking at his posture, it seems that he has no sequelae, and he will have no problem running and jumping.

The only problem is that because Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu take turns feeding him, and because of their secret rivalry, Zhao Youcai has become a lot fatter than before. What needs to be worried about in the future is that after his injuries are fully healed, he may not be able to keep up with the normal training in the army.

Everything was going smoothly at Xia Ji. Mr. Lu, Mr. Song, Mr. Zhou and others worked hard and hired two new waiters to share the work in the central kitchen.

Wu Xiong often came here on weekdays, and often patronized the Xia Ji food stall on the street. Even the yamen runners patrolled more frequently than before.

In short, everything is fine in Jinqiu County and you can rest assured.

Xia Mingyue felt much more at ease after hearing this, "That's good."

"Everyone misses Madam Xia very much. Knowing that our master and disciple are coming, they all asked us to convey greetings to Madam Xia, and asked her not to worry too much and just focus on doing business here in Changzhou City." Yin Lingyou said.

Big rivers flow and small rivers flow happily. All of them are people who work for Madam Xia. The business in Changzhou City is doing well, and Madam Xia earns a lot of money, so naturally they also benefit from it.

Therefore, everyone hopes that Xia Mingyue can make her business prosperous here, and they really hope so.

"Everything is fine here, and business is going well." Xia Mingyue said, "When Doctor Yin returns, please tell them to rest assured."

Yin Lingyou paused while enjoying the fried rice noodles after hearing this. "Since you want to pass on a message to them, Madam Xia, why don't you write two more letters back?"

write a letter?

What do you mean? Isn’t Doctor Yin going back in a few days?
Xia Mingyue was stunned.

Mao Sanli saw this and said, "Master had already made plans when he came back this time. He wanted to have dinner with Madam Xia. He would come back when Madam Xia came back..."

"Nonsense, it's because my family's storehouse is short of many medicinal herbs, so I came to Changzhou City to look for them just in case of emergency."

Yin Lingyou's beard blew up as he spoke, "I'm not such a greedy person!"

Xia Mingyue, "..."

Mao Sanli, "..."

Okay, you are old, you are thick-skinned, and you have a long beard, so just say whatever you want!

Everyone knew the truth, but they didn't say anything. They just added some fried rice noodles to Yin Lingyou's almost empty plate. Seeing this, Yin Lingyou hurriedly changed the subject, "Yes, there is another thing. The Yueran Restaurant in Jinqiu County has been put up for sale."

Under Zou Fuquan's series of self-defeating operations, the business of Yue Ran Restaurant has been going from bad to worse, and it has reached the point where it is losing money every day. Before coming to Changzhou Prefecture, Xia Mingyue heard that Yue Ran Restaurant was unable to sustain itself and had begun to lay off waiters. Even the chef in the kitchen was looking for a new way out for himself.

It is only a matter of time before Yue Ran Restaurant closes down completely, and it is not surprising.

only……

Xia Mingyue asked, "I heard from Shopkeeper Ge earlier that Zou Fuquan was planning to turn Yueran Restaurant into a teahouse. He even went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to select tea and porcelain, creating a huge fanfare. But after just a few days, he's not even planning to turn it into a teahouse?"

"I don't know about that." Yin Lingyou shrugged.

He is just a doctor and doesn't understand business matters.

Xia Mingyue pursed her lips.

People who do business do so to make a profit. Zou Fuquan is also the manager of someone else's family. He has to obey the orders of his master in everything. It seems that the boss is not optimistic about the teahouse business and may simply sell off the entire Yueran Restaurant.

But no matter whether Yueran Restaurant closed down, turned into a teahouse, or simply sold for silver, it posed no threat to Buyun Tower at this moment.

Xia Mingyue didn't take this matter too seriously.

For the next period of time, Yin Lingyou and Mao Sanli started to eat three meals a day at Xia Mingyue's place, just like they did in Jinqiu County.

But the meal is not free, and you still have to pay some food expenses as usual.

Xia Mingyue had long been accustomed to this, and only asked Zhuang Mama and Yinqiao to double the amount when cooking to meet daily needs.

Xia Mingyue often gives advice on the cooking skills of Zhuang Mama and Yin Qiao, or cooks herself. She is very generous and tries her best to satisfy everyone's taste buds.

Here, the preparatory work for the copper pot hot pot business is still proceeding in an orderly manner.

Shi Dahai made copper pots day and night. Every time he made one, he would give it to Xia Mingyue for inspection first. Only after it passed the inspection would he start making the next one.

After checking it several times, Xia Mingyue became more and more confident in Shi Dahai's craftsmanship and simply proposed a more challenging job.

"Master Shi, can you make a copper pot that looks like the normal one, but is about half the height of a building?"

Shi Dahai thought for a moment and said, "It's possible, but it would be inconvenient to cook mutton in such a big pot."

Will people stand on the bench to get the meat?

I’m afraid ordinary chopsticks won’t work.

Shi Dahai couldn't figure out how to use such a large copper hot pot.

"This copper hot pot is not meant to be used. Master Shi, you don't need to ask so many questions. It's better to make it first." Xia Mingyue said with a smile.

"Okay." Shi Dahai agreed readily, but he was still muttering in his heart.

This copper hot pot is not for use, so what is it used for?

Can't it be just for decoration?
After talking about the copper hot pot matter on Shi Dahai's side, Manager Fu brought news.

He had already taken a fancy to a shop and bought it very quickly and efficiently. He had also asked people to start cleaning up and repairing it in preparation for opening a copper pot hot pot shop.
