Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 170: Don’t be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid that thieves will miss you
Living in the same alley, who wouldn’t know about their family’s background?
Everyone discussed this in private, but no one dared to say a word in front of Xu Liyun.
After all, everyone wanted to go into the house and take a closer look at the plaque to get some of the royal blessing, so no one dared to offend the Zhang family.
Although Xu Liyun felt helpless in the face of her neighbors' pleas, she felt embarrassed to refuse seeing everyone's enthusiasm, so she let them into the house.
As for the rewards on the table, they had already been carefully put away by the children. Even the red cloth covering the gold was carefully put away by Xiao Youniang, who said she would wait for her father and eldest brother to come back to see them together.
Adults cannot guess what children are thinking, and Xu Liyun does not intend to interfere.
There was an endless stream of people coming to the Zhang family study to see the plaque. Even some people who didn't usually interact with the family urged Xu Liyun to show them other rewards from the court, and their words all revealed their curiosity about the silk and the hundred taels of gold.
How could Xu Liyun not understand what these people were thinking? She responded with a few casual remarks and then changed the subject.
There were many trivial things among the rewards sent from the capital, and most of those who came to join in the fun were people who were not very familiar with the group.
If they really believed their sweet words and showed them the reward, there would be some unscrupulous people who might take advantage of the situation and steal a few gold bars.
This kind of thing had been heard from time to time at festive occasions in Zhangjia Village before, so Xu Liyun was still alert to it.
Having seen enough of the excitement, the clever neighbors tactfully dispersed, leaving only a few shameless ones who wanted to stay and try to get some benefits from the Zhang family.
Xu Liyun did not give them room to stay any longer. She cleverly found an excuse, smiled, and politely escorted the guests out the door.
There was a subtle hint of vigilance in her eyes, as if she was silently telling the guests that today's excitement was over and they should not stay any longer.
When the last figure disappeared from sight, Xu Liyun turned around, and the politeness on her face was instantly replaced by determination.
She quickly led the children to get busy, carefully picking up and packing the precious items in the house one by one. At the same time, she cleverly set up some small mechanisms in several seemingly inconspicuous corners. Although these mechanisms are inconspicuous, they can play a big role at critical moments to prevent any villains from having bad intentions.
Today's lively scene, especially the gleaming one hundred taels of gold, undoubtedly made many people jealous. Xu Liyun secretly calculated in her heart that it might not be long before the whole Chengguan County would be discussing this matter aloud.
Those greedy eyes, those restless thoughts, those potential thieves, once they get the news, there is no guarantee that they will not come up with evil ideas and try to make a fortune from the Zhang family.
Therefore, Xu Liyun decided to strike first and arrange her home to make it watertight, waiting for those thieves who dared to come to her door and preparing a surprise for them.
However, as the old saying goes, you're not afraid of thieves stealing, you're afraid of thieves thinking about it.
Keeping so much gold at home is tantamount to courting self-destruction.
Xu Liyun was well aware of this and believed that instead of letting these riches become hidden dangers, it would be better to convert them into actual assets as soon as possible to avoid troubles if there was any disturbance in Zhangjia Village in the future.
Instead of hiding it and waiting for disaster to come, it is better to take the initiative and invest the money. By the time Mrs. Zhang and others find out, everything will have been decided.
After careful consideration, Xu Liyun felt that the most ideal destination would be to help Zhang Siwa open a restaurant.
When it comes to opening a restaurant, Zhang Siwa's face immediately breaks into an irrepressible smile, which is the joy of his dream about to come true.
Ever since he traveled through time and space and became Zhang Siwa, opening a restaurant of his own has become a dream in his heart.
Originally thinking that this dream was out of reach, Zhang Siwa unexpectedly found happiness so sudden. He was filled with indescribable excitement and satisfaction.
Seeing her brother so happy, Xiao Youniang also clapped her hands and laughed: "That's great, second brother's restaurant is open, will you make more delicious food for me in the future?"
Her voice was as clear as a silver bell, and the whole room was filled with her laughter.
Zhang Siwa smiled and picked up his sister, his eyes full of doting: "Of course! From now on, no matter if it's a bird in the sky, a fish in the water, or an animal on the ground, I will turn it into the most delicious delicacy on the table for you!"
After hearing this, Xiao Youniang laughed even more brightly, and her laughter was like the warm sunshine in spring, warming the whole room.
The business of the braised food shop is already on the right track, and Zhang Siwa can still handle it alone, but if he adds another restaurant, it will obviously be beyond his capabilities.
So, after discussing it, the family decided to return to Zhangjia Village and ask for some help.
Although they had left the village long ago, they have always been popular in the village. The villagers are simple, kind and skillful.
Asking them to help not only solves the manpower problem but also maintains the hometown ties, which is a best of both worlds solution.
What's more, there is the shrewd and experienced old village chief in the village. If any mistakes are made by the villagers, the old village chief will handle them properly without Xu Liyun saying anything.
The Zhang family has helped the villagers a lot in the past. This friendship is enough to make the villagers consider the Zhang family's face at the critical moment and dare not act rashly.
After the plan was set, the Zhang family split up and began preparations for the restaurant in full swing.
When opening a restaurant, the first thing to do is to choose a location.
Dongyang Street, the prosperous place where Shanyue Tower is located, naturally became the first choice because it is close to the government office and opposite the mansions of wealthy businessmen. It is crowded with people and has unlimited business opportunities.
In addition, the main street leading out of the city is always a must-pass route for caravans passing through. The surrounding inns have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain and are very bustling. It is also a rare and good location.
This time, Xu Liyun once again asked Guo for help.
In just a few months, Guo had earned two referral fees from the Zhang family and had a general understanding of the Zhang family's personality and style of doing things.
In addition, he heard that the Zhang family was commended by the court and awarded an imperial plaque. Naturally, he was very happy to be able to serve such a respected family, and he did things more meticulously.
In his heart, Guo the middleman actually did not fully agree with the Zhang family's idea of opening a restaurant.
Chengguan County is not a large place, and the existence of Shanyuelou has already made the catering industry here saturated, so opening another restaurant seems redundant.
After all, running a restaurant is much more complicated than setting up a small stall. Although he has heard that Zhang Siwa's cooking skills are extraordinary and the braised food shop is often crowded with people, and he himself is a regular there, but the restaurant has a wide variety of dishes, and just a few braised foods obviously cannot meet the needs of customers.
Guo expressed his concerns tactfully, but he didn't know that braised food was only the most common of Zhang Siwa's many skills, and he had many unknown cooking skills.
