"Which sentence?" Xiao Yuehan was puzzled.

"It's just that you seem to have become a different person since you married into the prince's mansion.

You are really different from the one I knew before.

Many times, I have to look carefully, is this my daughter? Is this my daughter?

Now you not only have many ideas, but are also bold and brave, and you can do this and that.

I saw you in the cave that day, beating up those bad women.

As for that Kung Fu, I really can’t remember when you learned it, and you can even make hamburgers.

Oh, I don’t know how to praise you.”

Xiao Yuehan didn't want to tell her more about why he was different from before.

So she could only tease her along with her words: "Now you know how capable your young lady is?

Your young lady is very capable and will give you more surprises in the future. Haha."

“Well, anyway, I used to worry about you everywhere, but now, I feel at ease as long as I follow you.

I feel like the lady is protecting me everywhere."

Xiao Yuehan took her hand and said, "We depend on each other for survival, and the most precious thing my mother left me is you.

You have always been by my side, how can I live on the farm without you? "

……

That day, the two of them went directly to Xishui Street and found a restaurant with the sign "Ming Yue Restaurant".

It is magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings. The geographical location is unique.

The streets were bustling with noise and the cries of vendors could be heard one after another.

Entering the hall, you will see that the restaurant is divided into two floors, the lower floor is the lobby, and the upper floor is a series of luxurious private rooms.

However, such a high-quality restaurant in such a great location was deserted.

The guys inside already knew that the visitor was the new owner of the hotel.

Go in and report. After a while, the elegant shopkeeper Jiang came to meet Xiao Yuehan with big steps.

He led her into the private room by the window on the second floor.

Shopkeeper Jiang wore a blue robe with dark patterns, and his rolled-up sleeves and collar revealed a white inner robe.

There were a few fine lines on his thin face, making him look weathered and resolute.

His slender eyes are deep and firm, showing his perseverance and persistence.

From his appearance, Xiao Yuehan has concluded that this person can be kept.

She sipped the tea brought by the waiter, looked at the shopkeeper Jiang and asked, "You should know who I am."

"Yes, Princess Zhan, the new owner of Mingyue Restaurant, daughter of Prime Minister Xiao."

"How long have you been here?"

"My princess, I grew up here."

Xiao Yuehan was a little confused: "What do you mean?" She motioned for him to sit down, tilted her neck and spoke, feeling dizzy.

Shopkeeper Jiang lifted up his robe, sat down, and filled Xiao Yuehan's cup of tea.

He said: "Princess, when the old general was still alive, my father managed the restaurant for him.

Later, the old general and my father passed away one after another, and I have been working here for more than 20 years.

After a while, my wife came to the restaurant for a few years, but she still let me be in charge.

She just came to visit often, and later her uncle became the manager for just over a year.

Now there is no one here, so I will just stay here."

"Then you know my grandfather and my mother very well."

Shopkeeper Jiang nodded and said, "I grew up here, this is my home.

The old general and his wife are like my relatives. I am very familiar with them. They are both very good people, but. "

He looked around and said, “Look at what has happened here.

My heart aches. I feel so sorry to the old general and his wife, and to my father.

My father taught me how to do things when I was very young and taught me how to manage a restaurant in the future.

But…but…” He was too sad to continue.

"Do you consider this place your home?"

"This is my home. If I'm not here to guard it, the few things left here will all be stolen."

Xiao Yuehan looked at the prosperity outside the window.

I asked, “Why is it so quiet here?

This place is bustling with people, and the restaurants on both sides are full of guests, but us?"

Shopkeeper Jiang lowered his eyebrows and sighed deeply: "Back then, our restaurant was the most prosperous in Chang'an City.

All the people who came here were high-ranking officials in the city, and even the nobles in the palace would come here sometimes.

Since I was a child, I have met many distinguished people here, and they are all honored to be able to attend the banquet at the "Mingyue Restaurant".

It is often difficult to get a reservation. During peak periods, reservations must be made one month in advance.”

"Why now?"

“In recent years, my uncle has taken over the restaurant.

His character was well-known in Chang'an City, and people all knew what kind of person he was.

There is always a group of questionable people following him around all day long.

They ate and drank for free in the restaurant, and he would often withdraw money from the restaurant to buy the worst ingredients.

Think about it, the customers who come here are all regular customers. After eating it once, they will know that the taste is not right.

Over time, who will come? That's it. "Shopkeeper Jiang said this with great heartache.

"Uncle?" She searched for this person in the original owner's memory, but didn't find him.

"Su's younger brother."

No wonder Xiao Yuehan had never seen this person. She saw that Shopkeeper Jiang was still wiping away tears.

She said to him, "Now I'll take over here and let's start over." She was full of confidence.

Shopkeeper Jiang looked at the little girl-like princess in front of him and felt a little lacking in confidence.

With such a small body? Can you do it? He said weakly: "Without money, how can I start over?

You see, more than half of the people in the restaurant have resigned.

The few who stayed were all those who had followed us before, and none of them received any salary." He shook his head.

Silver? Xiao Yuehan thought for a moment and asked him, "How much silver do we need to inject to revitalize the restaurant?"

Shopkeeper Jiang's gaze rested on the bustling street downstairs.

There was no confidence at all: "If the foreign debt of two thousand taels of silver is not repaid, this restaurant will be owned by someone else."

"What?" Xiao Yuehan's eyes widened, "There are still foreign debts?"

"They are the ones who have been buying the goods. If it weren't for the old general's face, the restaurant would have been gone long ago."

Xiao Yuehan calmed down and asked, "What happens after the two thousand taels are paid back? How much more do you need?"

These words drew Shopkeeper Jiang's attention away from the busy street.

He looked at the princess and became excited: "As long as there is money, I can make it work."

"How many?"

"One thousand taels for every one thousand taels, there should be five thousand taels."

Shopkeeper Jiang felt hopeful. As long as he had money, he could revive the restaurant even with this petite princess as the boss.

Xiao Yuehan took a breath and said, "Oh my god, this is seven thousand taels. The cash my mother left behind is only ten thousand taels."

Shopkeeper Jiang saw that she looked troubled and became a little anxious.

He said, "Princess, let's not talk about the remaining five thousand taels for now.

But these two thousand taels of foreign debt must be repaid as soon as possible.

Otherwise, this restaurant will really be in jeopardy." He was heartbroken.

"Let me think about it."

Xiao Yuehan was calculating the little money he had in his mind.

The brief silence was interrupted by the noise downstairs.
