During the lean years, I relied on space to pamper my husband and raise my children.

The custom-made table arrived.

Shen Qianning brought the custom-made inner bladders from the blacksmith shop and installed them together just right.

Shang Yu was very curious about this table: "Are you planning to burn charcoal in the future?"

The price of Fotan is relatively high, but Shen Qianning currently only has this method.

"The price of hot pot is relatively expensive, but those who can afford hot pot can still afford it. I thought it would be more convenient, otherwise it would be smoky and uncomfortable to eat."

She had the table and liner installed, then poured water into the liner to test the insulation effect.

I have to say that although the workmanship is not that fine, it brought her a lot of surprises.

Shang Yu was amazed and liked the stove very much.

When designing the store, Shen Qianning deliberately left a lot of spaces marked with dimensions, which were all empty.

Shen Qianning found a stack of antique glass in the space and installed it himself.

All of a sudden, the entire store changed.

Shen Qianning is very satisfied with her creativity.

Shang Yu comes every day and discovers different places at a glance.

"Boss Shen, what is this? It's so beautiful."

Shen Qianning glanced at the glass and said, "This is colored glaze. Each piece is very expensive."

Shang Yu went up and touched it again and again.

"For such an expensive thing, why don't you give Baibao Pavilion a few bucks? Also, I heard that you held a banquet last time and there were many delicious things. You can also take some out and sell them in Baibao Pavilion."

Shang Yu thinks about Baibao Pavilion all the time.

He has always been very attentive to the Baibao Pavilion in the Imperial City.

Mainly because he didn't want to be laughed at.

Many people in the city are staring at Baibao Pavilion. If it doesn't become an instant success, I'm afraid it will attract a lot of jokes.

Shen Qianning said doubtfully: "Even if I give it to you, you can't install it now!"

Shang Yu insisted: "I have my own way, just give it to me. By the way, are the goods ready? Qin Shi has sent someone to deliver a carriage of goods, which is enough for us to open the business."

Shen Qianning thought for a while and came up with a good idea: "Why don't Baibao Pavilion and the hot pot restaurant open on the same day? In this way, we can invite the guests who come to Baibao Pavilion to congratulate you for dinner, and then the people who come to congratulate you will be invited." It’s either rich or noble, right?”

The Shang family has a high status in the imperial city.

And Shangjia has a good reputation.

When Baibao Pavilion opened, even if it was not for his sake but for his father's sake, many customers would come.

He carefully thought about what Shen Qianning said, his eyes lit up and he said, "This is indeed a good idea. It's also a brain. Boss Shen's brain is just easier to use."

Shang Yu personally went to Si Tianjian to ask someone to calculate the auspicious days of the zodiac.

It was set for ten days.

Shen Qianning didn't plan to hire a servant, so he directly found Yaozi to buy someone.

She felt that instead of hiring outsiders, it would be better to train her own people.

And the people who buy it don’t worry about whether they are loyal or not.

If you have a contract of betrayal in hand, you can't make big troubles. If you don't do things faithfully, there are ways to control them.

Shen Qianning has her own standards for people. As long as she does her duty well, she will treat others well.

Shen Qianning shared his thoughts with Shang Yu.

Shang Yu suddenly became excited.

You can also buy a servant at Baibao Pavilion!In this way, there is no need to worry about anyone betraying you.

Or secretly collude with others.

Why hadn't he thought of this method before?

He even patted himself on the head for this.

So she and Shen Qianning waited inside the store.

After Yaozi learned the news, he brought a group of teenagers over in just half an hour.

The oldest of this group of teenagers is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest is only seven or eight years old. This span is a bit big.

Yaozi was particularly enthusiastic: "General's wife, these are obedient and sensible children. They do things steadily. If you buy them, it will really save you a lot of worry."

Shen Qianning just looked at Yaozi calmly and said, "I won't know until I choose whether it's good or not."

So she asked Shang Yu to help select people.

People who look cunning and twinkling in their eyes don't want it, people who look like they are sneaky and sneaky don't want it, people who don't like to take care of themselves don't want it.

After this round of selection, out of a dozen people, only five were left.

Yaozi thought that five was not bad, so he agreed on a time and decided to send them again tomorrow.

Shang Yu was very worried because he didn't choose the person he wanted.

The price of maids and servants in the imperial city is much higher.

Shen Qianning sent Yaozi off and was about to take the five selected people back to the general's mansion.

That day, the young man who sold his body to bury his mother appeared in front of Shen Qianning.

The young man knelt down as soon as he saw Shen Qianning.

"Please also ask the general's wife to take you in."

The young man's name is Xie Xing. He has nothing to worry about in this world and now he just wants to repay his kindness.

Shen Qianning glanced at Xie Xing distressedly and said, "Your mother has already been buried!"

Xie Xing answered all questions.

As Shen Qianning talked with Xie Xing, she became more and more satisfied with Xie Xing.

"You mean, you came to seek refuge with me?"

Xie Xing said with firm eyes: "Yes, I have nothing to worry about in this world. The only person I feel I owe is my wife."

He wanted to repay the favor.

When he had been kneeling for so many days and was about to despair, it was Shen Qianning who helped him unconditionally.

Shen Qianning thought of what she had said to Xie Xing last time.

"Do you remember what I told you before about using work to pay debts? You are still young, and the contract of sale is a restriction for you. If you want to stay, you can stay with me."

Xie Xing hurriedly said: "I am willing to stay."

He wants to sell himself even more, so that Shen Qianning will trust him more.

But seeing that Shen Qianning was unwilling, he wisely did not persist.

Regardless of whether there is a contract of betrayal or not, in his heart, he will be loyal to Shen Qianning for the rest of his life.

Shen Qianning had a good impression of Xie Xing.

He asked, "Do you have anything else to do? If not, you can follow me back to the General's Mansion so that I can teach you the rules."

Each of the five people bought them cost 20 taels of silver.

Whenever I think of a person with only 20 taels of silver, I feel emotional.

People are really worthless.

This era is more predatory than modern times.

Survival is similar to the end of the world, but you must take care of yourself as much as possible.

Five people plus Xie Xing, a total of six people, were all placed in the front yard.

The first lesson Shen Qianning teaches everyone is to restrain their temper.

"The hot pot restaurant we open is about taste first and service second. No matter how difficult the customers are, we must keep smiling and never conflict with the customers. What else do you want to say? You can tell me directly."

Xie Xingdao: "If we encounter that kind of really troublesome guest, should we also greet him with a smile?"

Shen Qianning said: "It depends on the situation. If the other party's attitude is still so bad after you ask, there is no need to be polite to them. When the time comes, call the shopkeeper first, and then we will calculate the consequences of bullying you. Understand it!"
