I fought back after reselling my engagement

Zhen Su took out a silver note of 100 taels and gave it to Chun Jiang. "I don't have 60 taels on me, so I'll give you 100 taels. Go ahead."

That evening, Qiu Rong and Chun Jiang came back and brought back the indentures of Wu Ren's family of four. Qiu Rong did not explain, and Zhen Su did not ask. Wu Ren's family was settled in a shop on Changping Street by Qiu Rong. There was a storefront outside the shop and a small yard in the back, which was enough for the family. The stewed dishes were made in the kitchen in the back yard and only sold outside the shop. Wu Ren's two daughters, the elder one was ten years old and could run errands, and the younger one was seven years old and was pregnant.

Two days later, Qiu Rong bought two pretty maids, saying that they were waitresses for the rouge shop so that they could help her make money.

The original manager of Shop No. 1 returned to the farm to be the head of the farm. All the goods of Shop No. 1 were moved to the warehouse of Shop No. 2 by horse-drawn carriage, and Shop No. 1 was emptied. Qiu Rong and Zhen Su took 100 taels of silver and began to decorate the shop, buy tools, etc., and went out early and returned late every day with her two female waiters.

Cui said, "You trust Qiu Rong so much, aren't you afraid that she will run away with the money?"

"Don't use anyone you doubt."

Qiu Rong is the daughter of the Hua family. Once she was demoted to an official maid due to family reasons, if she ran away, she would only be punished more severely. With her personality, it was not easy to get someone who trusted her and was willing to use her. She was not a servant. The princess trusted her and gave her the opportunity to display her talents. She was a manager and had maids to serve her. Even if she had the reputation of an official maid, such benefits were rare. She would be stupid to run away.

Cui asked, "You opened a shop on Changping Street?"

"I'm planning to open a braised food shop. I'm renovating it recently. I want to open it before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Decorating a shop is the most expensive thing. You must tell me how much money was spent on Shop No. 1. I will deduct your investment when I make money later."

"Shop No. 1 doesn't have much capital to invest. I'll let Qiurong open a rouge and powder shop. When the shop is profitable, your aunt will take over again. You can ask Qiurong to help you manage the business then."

Qiu Rong is a capable person. She does not intend to give her talent to her aunt for free. She thinks that a rare talent like Qiu Rong should be kept in her own hands.

On August 15th, Zhen Su opened the "Miaowei Braised Food Shop" on Changping Street. With talented people and Zhen Su's modern marketing methods, if you buy two pounds of braised meat, you can get a Miaowei cold dish for free. The braised meat is also seasoned, unlike other people's braised food, which is at most cut, but here they not only cut, but also season and mix.

Zhen Su asked Qiu Rong to specially order a kraft paper bag for "Miaowei Braised Food Shop" with the shop name, address and heritage printed on it. In order to attract customers, she also made up a touching historical story. It is said that an emperor in the previous dynasty who loved food very much could not taste the various delicacies in the palace and killed several imperial chefs in succession. One day, a young chef volunteered to make braised food to save the imperial chef's life, and also skillfully seasoned and mixed it. After tasting it, the emperor was very happy and rewarded the imperial chef.

Zhen Su found out this story after reading many historical books. The history books did not mention who this imperial chef was, so she said that when she was young, she met a wandering Taoist priest. It turned out that this Taoist priest was the descendant of the imperial chef, who taught her the secret method of making the food.

Her braised food recipe is a combination of her ancestors' secret skills, improved by her own modern braising recipe, and a packet of secret ingredients is added to it. This secret ingredient was personally prepared by Zhen Su and she regards it as her own secret recipe.

The stewed food shop is famous for its spicy taste and special seasoning. People in Hunan prefer spicy food. In just a few days, officials and officials knew that Princess Jiarou had learned the secret recipe of stewed food from a traveling Taoist priest when she was young, so she opened a "Miaowei stewed food shop" and the stewed food there tasted really good.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the braised food was sold out before 3 p.m. People who had eaten it once would buy it again, but if you went too late, it would be gone.

Zhen Su and Wu Ren communicated with each other, and they wanted the effect of selling out early and being out of stock if you go late. Wu Ren did as he was told and only braised that much food every day. After it was sold out, he hung a sign on the door that read "Today's braised food is sold out, please come early tomorrow."

Zhen Su's braised food shop made money, and she was busy renovating the second shop recently. She customized a batch of shelves and shelves, and all the goods were put in the warehouse. There were more than a dozen carpenters working in the shop, and she found a craftsman to contract out the work and materials. She designed all the furniture in the shop herself, and also designed the decoration style.

The grocery store was renovated for a month. On the second day of September, the "Hua Rong Fang" in Shop No. 1 was officially opened. Zhen Su went through the door of Miss Bai San and asked the Bai family to help ship a batch of rouge and powder, which included three grades: high, medium and low. However, they changed the earlier names to "The Noble Lady", "The Jade Beauty" and "The Beautiful Lady", and put the products on three counters for sale.

The Bai family attached great importance to the friendship between the third young lady and Princess Jiarou, and sent the housekeeper and maidservant of the third wife to deliver the goods in person. They watched the people sent by Zhen Su take the goods to the counter of the shop, and then looked at the "Huarongfang" which was decorated with the wisdom of Qiu Rong and Zhen Su. There were private rooms inside and a small couch built in modern style. The ladies could try it out there and buy it if they liked it.

At this moment, Zhen Su was meeting the housekeeper and maid sent by the Bai family in the flower hall in the backyard of Huarongfang.

"Your coming here in person just saved Huarongfang from an emergency. If you were any later, we wouldn't be able to open today. I'll have someone pay you for the goods you delivered this time. From now on, the escort agency will ship goods from Baihua County. I'll have the female manager of Huarongfang go directly to receive and count the goods. Both sides will communicate with the escort agency, and payment will be made upon delivery."

The Bai family's maid said respectfully, "There is no rush for the money. Once a year is fine. The princess's shop is newly opened and she needs to spend a lot of money."

"I will have many dealings with Bai San in the future. Although we are close friends, we still have to settle accounts clearly, otherwise our sisterhood will be ruined. Let's settle accounts this time, and we will meet once every six months next time. You can't always give us goods on credit, and I have to open another 'Hua Rong Fang' in the capital, and I also need your cooperation in supplying goods."

"I took the initiative to settle the account and take the money. I'm afraid that when I go back, the third lady will scold me for being ignorant."

"I will explain it clearly to Sister Bai San and won't embarrass you any longer."

The Bai family was able to survive this time, thanks to the mighty general who personally came to the door to deliver a message. He borrowed the name of Princess Jiarou and met Miss Bai San and her father and grandfather. "Princess Jiarou and my family are old friends. I have been in the army for many years, and Princess Jiarou has taken care of my family. Sister Jiarou asked me to come to tell Miss Bai San and the Bai family that the court is going to take action against local tyrants. Anyone whose family property is unknown will have an affair with bandits. The crime of this affair with bandits is the same as treason, and the crime will be three times more severe. Princess Jiarou asked Miss Bai San and the Bai family to respond as soon as possible, and I hope the Bai family will be safe in the end!"

Lu Yan arrived late that day and stayed at the Bai family for half an hour before saying goodbye and leaving.

The old man of the Bai family only then knew that his granddaughter knew Princess Jiarou.

Miss Bai San didn't know who this princess was, but when she saw Xu Yan, she thought of the beautiful girl she had met in the past.
