Chapter 363: Changed to a Hot Pot Restaurant
Chapter 363: Changed to a Hot Pot Restaurant
Mrs. Song felt a pang of pain in her heart when she said this, because Song Yunting had considered that if he died on the battlefield, she had made arrangements for Jiang Xi.
Before he could finish his words, he was beaten by Mrs. Song.
But Mrs. Song finally listened to her son's words.
Jiang Xi and his companions got off the mountain in the carriage, watched by Prime Minister Song and Madam Song.
A passing carriage saw Prime Minister Song and Madam Song coming out in person to see their guests off, and couldn't help but look at the carriage with curiosity.
The driver cracked the whip and the carriage drove out quickly. Jiang Xi and others even stuck their heads out and waved at them.
After the people disappeared, Song Yuxing patted his chest and laughed, "I didn't expect that uncle and aunt are so approachable."
The others couldn't help but laugh.
"Silly child, that's because you are a family."
Who would put on airs in front of their family, Duan Yuanzhou said with a smile.
What's more, the Song family is a simple family, so even though Song Yulin, Song Yuxing and Prime Minister Song are distant relatives, they are still very close.
Not to mention Jiang Xi, it was obvious that she had won the favor of Lord and Lady Song. In the future, she would be the daughter-in-law of the Song family, or even the mistress, so she was naturally welcomed with a smile.
After they returned to the villa, Duan Yuanzhou said, "Everyone must be tired, let's go take a rest first and make arrangements tomorrow."
Jiang Li felt a little helpless.
But it’s true, I just arrived yesterday and was busy packing my luggage, so I didn’t get much rest.
I went to the Song Mansion today. Although Lord Song and Mrs. Song were very friendly, it was our first meeting after all, so everyone had to be alert and prepared, so it was natural that they felt tired.
Besides, it was already late when we returned to the villa.
Jiang Xi and Duan Yuanzhou went back to their rooms to rest. As for Song Yulin and Song Yuxing, they just came along for the trip without any clear goal, so it didn't matter whether they went out tomorrow or not.
But Song Yulin had to urge Song Yuxing to complete the homework for the past half month.
I took a leave from college, but I couldn't do anything about it while I was on the ship, so now I have to make up for it.
So, Song Yuxing had no rest and was forced by Song Yulin to do his homework at the desk.
In addition, when you go out to study, you need to write an article every day.
Song Yulin didn't have the energy to do anything on the boat, while Song Yuxing was just plain lazy.
Because they had to finish their homework quickly so that they could go out shopping, the two brothers stayed at home for four full days before they finally finished their homework.
When they came out of the study, Duan Yuanzhou and Jiang Xi were no longer at home.
The two went out early in the morning.
During these four days, Duan Yuanzhou has completed the accounts of his shops, farms and other businesses.
There is a shop whose profits have not met Duan Qingzhou's requirements for years, so he plans to renovate it today.
Originally it was a cloth business, which had always been very profitable. The Duan family's cloth shop also made money, but less.
Jiang Xi and Duan Yuanzhou were in a carriage at this time, talking about this cloth shop.
"Did your eldest brother say how to reform it? Are you still in the cloth business?"
Jiang Li asked.
"My eldest brother used to come to Beijing every year, and his suggestion was to change it to a hot pot shop."
Duan Yuanzhou said, "But he is not sure whether the surrounding layout is still the same. Let me check it out."
Jiang Xi thought about it and realized that there were some small food shops around the cloth shop, but none of them was as big as the cloth shop.
It can indeed be used to open a hot pot restaurant.
Duan Yuanzhou said, turning his head to look at Jiang Li, "Ali, what do you think? How about this idea?"
Jiang Xi has been following Duan Yuanzhou these days, and she also took the opportunity to look for a suitable shop to sell her stuffed toys.
Jiang Xi nodded, "Sure, there are a lot of people on that street."
The most important reason why they chose that location was because although the people there were not rich and powerful, they were not short of money.
Other snack shops serve home-cooked meals, but there are relatively few restaurants that can be used to entertain friends and relatives. They are not very high-end, and if you want to have a banquet with friends, you have to walk a distance, which takes at least a quarter of an hour.
Duan Yuanzhou got Jiang Li's support, and his idea of opening a hot pot restaurant was almost certain to succeed.
Knowing the purpose of Jiang Xi's visit, Duan Yuanzhou asked again: "What about you? You haven't finished your work in the past few days, right? Next, I can spare two days to accompany you for a walk."
Jiang Xi shook his head. "No, I found a suitable place, but I want to look around some more."
"Have you found it?"
Duan Yuanzhou was surprised. "Is it near our shops? Where is it?"
Duan Yuanzhou didn't notice these.
"Your family owns the Jinlou on Yamato Street, and there happens to be a small shop for rent across the street."
Jiang Li said.
Originally, she was thinking of finding someone else's shop to sell her products. During this period, some people were interested, but the commission they asked for was too high.
After much deliberation, Jiang Xi decided to do it himself.
What's more, with connections like the Duan family, I believe Duan Yuanzhou will be able to help if the shipment is a little less in the future.
"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."
The shopkeeper of Jinlou was Shopkeeper Zou who came to the dock to pick them up a few days ago.
"Shopkeeper Zou is more familiar with this area than we are. You can ask him."
After hearing Duan Yuanzhou's words, Jiang Xi swallowed his words of refusal.
It is indeed easier to get things done if you have acquaintances.
The next day, when Jiang Xi and Duan Yuanzhou were about to go out again, Song Yulin and Song Yuxing were already waiting for them.
"Brother Duan, Sister A Li, let's go out with you and see the world!"
Jiang Xi raised an eyebrow, "Okay, let's go, have you finished your homework?"
Song Yuxing nodded. He was so scared of doing his homework that he didn't want to mention it at all. He got into the carriage immediately.
Song Yulin was behind him, shaking his head helplessly.
"Sister A Li, where are you planning to go today?"
Although they had made up their mind to follow Jiang Xi and Duan Yuanzhou wherever they went, they still asked.
Jiang Xi told the truth.
Song Yulin smiled and said, "I didn't expect that we would run into each other. It's a good opportunity for us to see how business is done!"
Afterwards, I got on the carriage and heard Jiang Xi and Duan Yuanzhou talking about converting the cloth shop into a hot pot restaurant.
Song Yuxing's eyes lit up all of a sudden. "So, while we're in Beijing, Brother Duan, can we come to your restaurant to eat hot pot whenever we want?"
Duan Yuanzhou waved his hand and said, "Of course, eat until you get tired of it."
Song Yuxing cheered immediately, and was hit on the head by Song Yulin, "Sit still, don't move."
As they were talking, they soon arrived at the entrance of the Golden Building.
Inside, Manager Zou and his colleagues were busy as hell.
The weather in October, approaching November, is a little chilly.
Many ladies came out and the weather was quite comfortable.
