Chapter 291 Restaurant
But if you know someone, you will naturally know him, and there is no point in hiding.
As expected, the news that the Zhou family had received a reward spread like wildfire.
Everyone in the surrounding villages knew about it. Even if they didn't know each other, everyone knew that the Zhou family in Lianglin Village had discovered an iron mine in the mountains.
Some families were also very regretful. They had lived here for many years with backpacks and axes on their backs, but they had never discovered any iron ore under the rocks.
The opportunity to make money and get rich slipped away from my hands.
It’s no use even if you feel very unwilling!
As soon as Zhou Mingshu arrived home, the reward arrived.
When Old Mrs. Zhou opened the box, she saw things full of gold and silver, which almost blinded her!
"Sanya, am I dreaming?"
Old Mrs. Zhou pulled Zhou Mingshu's arm and pinched it.
"Does it hurt?"
Zhou Mingshu was both amused and annoyed, and nodded with a smile, "It hurts, it does hurt!"
Although her granddaughter said it hurt, Mrs. Zhou's reaction was still a little slow, and it was obvious that she had not recovered from the shock.
Zhou Mingshu was being held by Old Lady Zhou on the left and hugged by Mrs. Zhu on the right. She was almost unable to breathe.
"Grandma, you should think about where to put these things. It will be difficult to put them when people from the village come."
"Yes, yes, boss, you guys, quickly clean up my inner room and put these things in first."
These are all gifts from the emperor. Ordinary thieves dare not steal them. Even if they are stolen, they can report to the police. Pawn shops will not pawn them.
So don't worry too much.
"It's a good thing I didn't go to town today, otherwise I would have missed this wonderful show."
Boss Zhou sighed on the side.
"That's not the case. Don't you dare disobey Master Xue's orders?"
……
No matter what everyone said, Zhou Mingshu listened and laughed non-stop.
There was a lot of wealth in the family, but never such a large sum.
Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't recover.
Rufeng had not left after delivering the things and was talking to Qi Xu. Zhou Mingshu went up to him and asked him.
"Brother Bing, I want to ask about the recruitment just now. Are the adults planning to start mining immediately? Or..."
Rufeng looked at Qi Xu standing beside him, and was unsure whether to tell the girl.
"I'm asking you a question, hurry up and answer it."
Rufeng nodded immediately, "Now we are recruiting workers to clean up the site and build houses. Once that is done, we will start mining in the mountains later."
After hearing this, Zhou Mingshu felt relieved.
"So how do you usually eat?"
Rufeng looked at Zhou Mingshu in confusion, but finally told him everything. They were all small things and nothing serious.
“We do it ourselves, and we have someone special responsible for cooking.”
"Oh, so that's how it is." It seems that the general brought the cook with him.
"What about the workers? I heard they only have one day off a month. How do they get enough food and clothing?"
"This... I don't know, but the house we are going to build now can solve the accommodation problem."
It seemed that the situation was too in-depth and the soldier didn't know what was going on. Zhou Mingshu could only try to find out more.
"Thank you."
Zhou Mingshu asked in detail about the situation of recruiting workers for building the house, and then she went back.
Qi Xu looked at her back and said to Rufeng, "Remember to tell me if there is any news later. Remember to tell me if there is anything you need."
Although Rufeng nodded, he actually didn't know what the young master was up to.
The two men parted ways, one went into the yard and the other went back to report.
"San Ya, why are you asking about that news? Do you also want your uncle and second uncle to go to the mine to mine? Your family is doing business, and now you have received a reward. You don't have to work so hard. Mining is very tiring and dangerous."
"No, that's not my original intention. I was planning to contract the workers' meals and do some small business. Although the roast duck business at home is booming, it's still very hard for my uncle and my father to work in the wind and rain. If my family had a restaurant, they wouldn't have to work so hard."
"Your idea is really good. Just do it if you want to. The soldier just said that the construction will start in the next few days. As long as there are customers, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell the food."
"Hehe, of course. I just don't know how you adults arrange meals for the workers. When I have a chance, I will go to ask Lord Xue and Magistrate Niu."
Seeing that San Ya had made up her mind, Qi Xu didn't say anything else, but instead said something like "It's a good idea" or "It's a very good idea."
Zhou Mingshu smiled, her entrepreneurial plan was about to begin.
Without further ado, she presented her plan at the dinner table that evening. The adults in the Zhou family admired her business acumen.
I fully support this plan.
If we could contract the food for so many workers, we would definitely make more and more money in the future.
"We have to have an attitude when asking for favors. I'll pack some gifts after dinner. You can take them and give them to the masters tomorrow. By the way, do you also need to pack a few ingots of silver?"
Old Mrs. Zhou asked.
"No, no, we will go to the county shop tomorrow and pick out a few suitable ones to send over. We can discuss the rest later. If we send money, it may affect the reputation of the masters."
"Yes, yes, San Ya is right. We can negotiate the deal but we can't affect the reputation of the adults."
Qi Xu held the bowl of soup and drank it non-stop, but he was actually laughing secretly.
Old Mrs. Zhou made the decision that Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er would go to the town early the next morning to discuss the matter with the adults, while Zhou Lao San and Liu would go to the street to sell roast duck.
"Grandma, can I go with you to the county town? I haven't been there yet." Qi Xu asked, pulling Grandma Zhou's arm.
Old Mrs. Zhou was still a little hesitant, but she finally gave in after Qi Xu's repeated assurances.
"Grandma, I want to go too." Zhou Mingqi continued.
"Okay, go ahead, if you mess up, I'll beat your ass."
"Don't worry, I'll go play with Qi Xu when we get there, so as not to delay San Ya from doing her work."
She still knows clearly what is important.
"Okay, then go to bed early tonight."
"Okay, grandma, you are really the best grandma in the world."
A lot of things happened today, but they were all good things.
The surprises were bigger than each other, and when Old Mrs. Zhou was sleeping, the corners of her mouth were always raised.
Zhou Mingshu exchanged the best Pu'er tea from the system, packed the things and put them in her small backpack.
Tea leaves alone were not enough, so he exchanged them for a few bottles of the best Moutai and poured them into the wine jars.
Then I can say that I brewed it myself. It is so convenient and beautiful~
Zhou Mingshu lay happily on the bed, daydreaming about tomorrow and hoping that everything would go well.
