994 Chapter 994-suddenly enlightened
Cai Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes lit up. That’s right, they had considered opening a restaurant before, but after learning about the situation in kun city, they felt that it was not the right time. But now, it seemed that there were not only rich merchants from the great Zhou who came to do business in kun city, but also people from the other five countries!
She was confident that the food in other places was not as good as that in the Zhou Dynasty. Gu Nian and Peng Yizhu had more food in their heads.
They had jade beads at home, as well as seeds of various vegetables and fruits that they had collected over the past two years.
It was already the twelfth lunar month, and spring was about to come. When uncle Gu started to open up the wasteland, he would plant the seeds. They should be able to harvest around April next year. By the first lunar month, people from Qing Province would be coming over. By then, there would be no shortage of chefs.
At this thought, Cai Xiaolian asked, ” “Are the people from the other five Nations allowed to stay in kun city?”
The fourth wife of the Peng family nodded, ” yes, they’re allowed. However, they can only enter from the West Gate. They can’t leave from the other gates. Moreover, they were not allowed to bring any weapons with them when they entered kun city. Under normal circumstances, the people from the Five Nations will stay in kun city for a day or two. They will leave after the deal is done.”
“Are there many restaurants in kun city?” Cai Xiaolian asked again.
In her opinion, there were only two people left in the Yamen, so there shouldn’t be many restaurants in kun city!
Peng Yizhu laughed. there are only a few small taverns. Their business is not good on a daily basis. They only do business during the trading days. Most of them are non-military and non-slave citizens living in kun city. They make a living on the trading day every month.
Cai Xiaolian understood. Although it was said to be a County, it was actually similar to the small towns in the undeveloped areas of modern times.
She suddenly had a bold idea. She would call the whole family for a meeting later at night.
She wanted to make kunzhou the most prosperous place in the vicinity and make it the prefecture of the great Zhou that paid the most taxes, other than the capital and Jiangnan.
……
That night, Cai Xiaolian brought up the meeting.
“Sister-in-law, I’ve been out of the city looking at the barren land for the whole day. Can I go and rest?” uncle Gu asked, his head aching. I’ll listen to whatever you say anyway.”
Grandma Gu glanced at him.
Uncle Gu said,’eh, eh, eh, I suddenly don’t feel tired after I said that! Second brother, sister-in-law, you guys tell me, you guys tell me!”
Grandpa Gu shook his head with a smile. It was time to train his boss’s independence. Otherwise, who would be able to control him when the two of them passed away? Second and fourth both loved their older brother, and the children loved him.
Cai Xiaolian took out a stack of paper. It was written on it after she had just sent the Peng family away. It wasn’t very specific, but she wanted to discuss it with her family before continuing to make a detailed plan.
She handed it to Grandpa Gu first.
Grandma Gu had been with Grandpa Gu for so many years, and she had changed from being illiterate when she was a daughter to being able to read and write now.
After the old couple finished reading it, they decided to give it to uncle Gu.
Uncle Gu waved his hand. I’ll just listen. If I’m going to look, I’ll really have to sleep.
Then, Gu shouxin took it. With one look, his thoughts that had been stuck for the whole day suddenly became clear.
He knew where he had gone wrong. In the past, he had only thought of dealing with the old foxes in the court and had not experienced the work of the lowest level officials. Now that he had seen Cai Xiaolian’s not detailed plan, he knew what he should do.
He really wanted to hug his precious wife and kiss her. What did he do to deserve such a wife?
Next, Gu Nian and her three siblings watched the movie together.
Gu Hui, Jing, and the princess had gone to the campsite. They could only return home once every three days, so they were not around tonight.
