The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

The next morning, Dongyu saw that Yan Muxi's eyes were red and swollen, and thought she was missing An An and Kang Kang.

"It's only October now, and the store in Shengjing City has opened half a month earlier than expected! We will definitely be able to get back to Huadao before the New Year."

Yan Muxi was stunned for a moment, then realized that Dongyu had misunderstood her. However, she did not intend to explain and continued, "We have not seen the two little ones for several months. If we meet again, they will probably forget about me. It makes me feel uncomfortable just thinking about it."

"Miss, please be patient. Once the shop business stabilizes, we will set off back to Flower Island immediately and not stay in this bandit's den any longer." Dongyu advised with a distressed look in her eyes. She also missed the twins, Yinxia, ​​Qiuzhu, Jinchun and Dahuang mother and son, and missed everything on Flower Island.

North Vietnam has invaded Dafeng for many years. To Dongyu, a citizen of Dafeng, the North Vietnamese are bandits who bully Dafeng, and they are now making money in the bandit's den.

The war between the two countries was instigated by the powerful people in North Vietnam. Although Yan Muxi would not vent his hatred on ordinary people, he would definitely not be able to treat the enemy people sincerely.

In the afternoon, Yan Muxi went to the Duke of Qin's Mansion to sign the contract as agreed.

After the pleasantries, Mao tentatively discussed with Yan Muxi, "The boundary between the east and west cities of Shengjing is clear. The people of the west city cannot enter the east city without a pass. The Duke's Mansion has a restaurant in the west city, and the business has been increasingly sluggish in the past two years. I was thinking, can we open two restaurants at the same time?"

Yan Muxi pretended to be surprised. "Opening two restaurants at the same time would require twice as much manpower and money. If business is bad later, the money invested would also be doubled."

Mao frowned and thought for a moment, "To be honest with you, Madam Qian, my mother is a merchant, and she has some skills in making money. I have been influenced by her since I was a child, and naturally I have also been stained with the smell of money-making. I have liked to do accounting and make money since I was a child. I dare not say that I am very good at doing business, but I still have vision and foresight."

Seeing Yan Muxi listening attentively with a burning gaze, Mao became more confident. "Doing business is nothing more than investment and harvest. The greater the investment, the greater the risk. However, if the business you invest in has a good prospect and great potential, the harvest will also be huge. I am very optimistic about the potential of the beef hot pot and want to seize the opportunity to make more money. If Madam Qian agrees to open two hot pot restaurants in West City, you can choose not to invest money. If you lose money, I will bear it all by myself."

After hearing Mao's sincere words, Yan Muxi pretended to be moved and said, "No, we agreed to cooperate and win together. If we lose money, we will naturally share the burden. I like bold, straightforward and aggressive people the most. Regardless of whether Madam respects me or not, I have decided to make Madam my friend."

Mao was very happy to hear this, "Mrs. Qian is really open-minded, no wonder she can make a lot of money!"

Amidst the mutual boasting and complimenting, the two parties signed a cooperation agreement.

"Madam Qin is so young, not only does she have to manage the huge Duke's Mansion, but she also has to devote her energy to making money. Madam's courage and ability are no less than that of men. I admire her from the bottom of my heart." Yan Muxi's nice words rolled away as if they were free.

There is no one in the world who doesn't like to hear nice words praising themselves. Mao's face was smiling brighter than a flower, "Madam Qian, please don't call me Madam. If you don't mind, just call me sister."

Yan Muxi looked flattered, "How can I be worthy of being called Madam Qin's sister?"

"Sister Qian, you are being too formal. Do you think I am not worthy of being called sister?" Mrs. Mao pretended to be angry and scolded.

Yan Muxi smiled and called out shyly, "Sister Mao!"

"That's right!" Mao pulled Yan Muxi over and started chatting with her about family matters affectionately.

After they started to call each other sisters, Yan Muxi and Mao's interactions became closer. Either Yan Muxi would go to Duke Qin's mansion, or Mao would come to the skin care shop to look for Yan Muxi.

Winter came in the blink of an eye. The two Xiangmancheng restaurants in Shengjing opened on the same day. They were so popular that customers could not even squeeze in. Later, one had to queue up three days in advance to enjoy the delicious beef hotpot.

Every time Mao saw Yan Muxi, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

The restaurant in West City was one of the few properties left by the ancestors of Duke Qin's Mansion. It was rented out in the early years due to poor management.

The huge Duke's Mansion could barely survive on the rent of a few shops and the income from the farmland, but it was impossible to maintain the splendor of a duke's family.

The masters and ladies in the side mansion are unable to face the reality. They all want to eat and dress well, and the public money cannot cover their daily expenses, not to mention the money needed for the weddings of the younger generation in the mansion and for social interactions.

Although Mao's dowry was quite rich, it could not withstand the squandering of hundreds of people in the mansion, and she did not want to use all of her dowry to fill the bottomless pit.

Now that the business of the restaurant in Duke Qin's Mansion has been revitalized, the mansion has a stable income and no longer needs her to pay dowry to fill the hole every day.

On this day, Mao inspected Xiangman City and deliberately went to Xianzitang to see Yan Muxi.

Looking at the long queue of cars outside the store, Mao was full of envy, "Xianzitang has been open for more than a month, and business is so good every day. Sister Qian's wallet is about to burst!"

"It only looks prosperous on the surface. The production process of new skin care products is complicated and the cost is extremely high. You can't make much money." Yan Muxi said as he invited Mao into the room in the backyard.

"No matter how high the cost of skin care products is, can it be higher than the selling price? Sister Qian must have made a lot of money." Mrs. Mao obviously didn't believe Yan Muxi's words.

Yan Muxi smiled and did not refute, apparently agreeing with Mao's words.

After sending the servants away, Yan Muxi got down to business, "Sister Mao, are you interested in getting involved in the skin care products business?"

Mao was surprised. Seeing that Yan Muxi didn't look like he was joking, she sighed and said, "Alas, this is not a question of whether I want to get involved or not! I can't get involved."

The skin care products business in Bingcheng is protected by Princess Jin, and in Shengjing it is guarded by Princess Nishang, so she has no right to interfere anywhere.

Yan Muxi smiled slyly, "As long as Sister Mao wants, you can have a share of the skin care products business."

Mao was not a fool, and she immediately reacted, "Could it be that Sister Qian wants to open another Xianzitang in Shengjing City?"

But it didn't feel right after he said it. No matter how many more skin care stores Yan Muxi opened, Princess Nishang would be able to protect him, and there was no need to bring others in to share the profits.

Yan Muxi shook her head to deny Mao's guess, and stopped keeping the secret. "Skin care products are expensive, not everyone can afford them. Shengjing City only has one Xianzitang, and there is no need to open more stores. I want to sell Xianzitang's skin care products in other cities, but I don't have enough energy and connections. It may take several years to let all the ladies in North Vietnam use Xianzitang's skin care products. So, I plan to distribute the new skin care products so that we can make money together."
