Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

After eating, Yao Shu went to Shen Qiu's room and helped him apply some ointment.

Others also returned to their rooms one after another, leaving only brothers Shen Bei and Shen Fugui at the dinner table.

"Third brother, thank you."

After all, Shen Fugui couldn't hold back his words and couldn't help but express his thoughts.

"This dynasty has clear regulations that businessmen within three generations are not allowed to become officials. No matter how good I am at school, I'm afraid I won't become a high official by then."

Shen Fugui's voice was a little muffled, and he was lying if he said he wasn't feeling aggrieved.

Hearing what the youngest said, Shen Bei felt a little uncomfortable. The youngest in the family was the simplest one, and now he could guess these things. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Don't worry, youngest. I will go to the south of the city with my mother tomorrow and I will give her some advice."

Shen Fugui shook his head, "Third brother, don't persuade mother. Mother is also doing this for the good of the family. Otherwise, what will our brothers eat and use in the future? We haven't even married yet!"

"Moreover, if my mother is so powerful, she will definitely earn a lot of money from her business. Then I won't have to be a high-ranking official to have enough food and clothing!"

At the end of the sentence, he grinned, trying his best to hide his inner disappointment.

"My youngest, don't say that. Just study hard. If you pass the scientific examination in the future, you will definitely become a high official!"

Shen Bei couldn't bear to see his brother so lonely, so he offered words of comfort.

"Third brother, do you believe I can pass the exam?"

There was some hope in his eyes. After all, his study time was too short and he had never been confident in taking the scientific examination.

"Of course! You are a man from the Shen family, how can you not do it?"

Shen Fugui nodded, "Third brother, you are right, I will definitely study hard!"

The two brothers finally smiled, and all this was heard by Yao Shu who passed by the door.

After applying the ointment to Shen Qiu, she thought about coming back and chatting with Shen Bei about her thoughts, but unexpectedly overheard the conversation between the two brothers.

Shen, the mother-in-law, was also very pleased that the Shen brothers were so considerate of each other.

She took the ointment in her hand and quietly returned to her room without disturbing the brothers again.

Early the next morning, Yao Shu and Shen Bei went to the south of the city. The shops in the city had opened early and the streets were very lively.

Shen Bei thought about it all night last night, wondering how to talk to Yao Shu, but he didn't expect that the other party would beat him to it.

"Lao San, I know what you want to say to me."

Yao Shu smiled. Although she was speaking to Shen Bei, her eyes were observing the streets and people around her.

"Mom, I..."

Shen Bei is a smart man and understands that the other party has already guessed what he wants to say.

"Lao San, in fact, to do business, one needs a mind like yours to consider all the pros and cons. Mom is really pleased."

Shen Bei was very grateful for Yao Shu's praise. After all, his ability to pursue a business career was his mother's high hopes for him.

"Mom, that's why I don't understand. Since you know that doing business will affect the youngest's scientific examination and official position, why do you still do it?"

Yao Shu pointed to a few shops not far away, "Lao San, look, what are the differences between these shops?"

Shen Bei followed Yao Shu's angle and looked over, thought for a moment and then replied, "These shops are large and small, and the shop in the middle seems to be in the west and east of the city."

"It seems that you have been around the city for a long time in the past few days. You are right. The biggest shop is indeed doing very well."

Shen Bei shook his head, still not understanding what Yao Shu meant.

"Lao San, in fact, when it comes to doing business, it also depends on how well it is done. That shop can open well in the west and east of the city. It must not have been done overnight. It may have taken a lot of time."

Shen Bei looked at the plaque carefully, and sure enough it had the words "Century-old Brand" written on it.

"So the title of businessman is not so easy to get."

Yao Shu stopped and stated her follow-up plan.

"I will manage the government from top to bottom so that the Shen family's business will not be classified as commercial, and the business I do will not be very big. This will naturally not prevent the rich from becoming an official."

Shen Bei suddenly realized that his mother had already had her own plans, and he was actually planning to persuade her. After such a comparison, he really felt stupid.

"Lao San, you are still young, so naturally you don't understand these skills, but you will understand them in the future."

Yao Shu knew what her son was thinking and patted his shoulder comfortingly.

The mother and son continued walking towards the south of the city, and Yao Shu continued to talk about her plans.

"I plan to build a restaurant, because the Shen family has an advantage, that is, it can grow the best food. With good materials, it will naturally occupy a place in the city."

Shen Bei nodded and agreed with this idea.

"Mom, crops and food are what you are best at. Other restaurants in the city definitely can't compare with you."

"I think so too. Although the fields in Dahe Village are cultivated by others, they can provide the freshest food for the restaurant. In this way, we don't have to go to the city or outside the city to purchase goods, and the impact will naturally be much smaller."

Listening to Yao Shu's words, Shen Bei nodded from time to time and became more and more excited.

He could even imagine the future development of this restaurant and how much profit the Shen family could make from it.

"Mom, I think I don't need to do other businesses. This restaurant is enough."

Yao Shu shook her head, "Lao San, you will also be in business alone in the future, so naturally you can't rely on me all the time. Although we have just moved here and everything is unfamiliar, this is a real training."

Shen Bei looked at his mother's determined eyes and nodded firmly.

"Don't worry, mother, I won't let you down."

The mother and son walked and talked, and finally arrived at the south of the city. Although there were fewer people in this area, there were many rich people.

It's hard to make money from poor people, but if you want to make money, make money from rich people.

"The rents for shops here are more expensive, and the lively places are in the west of the city, so there are quite a few shops to choose from."

Shen Bei looked at the shops on both sides of the street. The plaques on the shops here seemed to be carefully arranged and looked elegant.

"It can be seen that the prices here are certainly not cheap. Mom, do our families really have so much money?"

Yao Shu never reveals how much money she has, and now is no exception.

"If you want to do business, you need to have capital, but you also need to be smart. You have to negotiate whether the price is expensive or not. Otherwise, it will be whatever the other party says. Aren't we just being taken advantage of?"

"Mom is right, doing business does require flexibility."

Shen Bei learned a lot from Yao Shu this morning.

"When I get home, I will explain my mother's painstaking efforts to Fugui. He will definitely want to help."

"Not just him, but everyone in the family wants to help my mother more."
