Chapter 135 Lin's Wife's Shop
Seeing that Lin Yuxi didn't take it to heart, the Second Madam gave her two instructions and left. As soon as the Second Madam left, Lin Yuxi snorted coldly, "Husband, you and my eldest brother are brothers. Since my eldest sister-in-law can send someone here, shouldn't we also return the favor?"
Yang Chenchuan pinched her nose, with a smile in his eyes: "I know he prefers singing girls, I will send two over later to help my wife vent her anger."
Lin Yuxi wrinkled her nose and glanced at him, but she was looking forward to Diwu Xufang's reaction.
It can only be said that Yang Chenchuan's methods were quite clever. He knew that if he sent the person directly, he would most likely be frozen by Diwu Xufang. He calculated the time precisely and asked Mother Sun to bring two singing girls to guard the gate of the mansion.
In Lin Yuxi's eyes, Yang Chenxi was a rogue who had failed in his studies and relied on his status as the eldest son of the prefecture to bully others everywhere. He did not do any serious work but loved to visit brothels.
Normally they would come back slightly tipsy at this time. Yang Chenxi looked at the good looks of the two singing girls and learned that they were given to him by his sister-in-law. He immediately praised Lin Yuxi a few words and hugged them into the house.
Diwu Xufang was so angry that he almost rushed to Tingyuxuan and cursed all night long.
When Lin Yuxi heard the servant coming to report, her eyes curved into a smile. I told you to cause trouble for me, and you deserved to be blocked back. After this incident, let's see if you dare to send people here in the future.
After dealing with them, the focus should still be on the shops.
Lin Yuxi divided the four departments and six bureaus into two groups, male and female, and changed the Accounting Department to be responsible for the tables and chairs in the shop and reception.
The Tea and Wine Department was merged with the Tableware Department to be in charge of kitchen utensils.
The chef replaced the original cook's job.
The fruit department, the candied fruit department, and the vegetable department were divided into two groups. One group was sent to the kitchen to help, and the other group with higher skills was kept as dim sum chefs.
The Oil and Candle Bureau still ordered them to look after the lights and candles, and if there was a fire, they would be held accountable.
The incense and pharmacy also takes on the job of arranging paintings and flowers for the office. The shop is open for business. If the decoration is pleasing to the eye, diners will enjoy their meals and the return rate will also increase.
The Arrangement Bureau is only responsible for rough work such as cleaning and arrangement.
After arranging the four departments and six bureaus, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.
That day, Lin Yuxi saw the shopping list that Grandma Sun handed in. On it was written ten boxes of exquisite mooncakes and one hundred mooncakes for the public. She couldn't help but become curious and wanted to know how exquisite the mooncakes here were and how they were different from the mooncakes that were distributed to the public.
Yang Chenchuan looked at her in surprise, as if asking how could you not even know this, but thinking of her past life, he felt sorry for her again, so he replied slowly:
"The mooncakes sold to the public are just a mixture of sugar and pastry, while the ones in boxes usually have fruit fillings mixed in."
Chunlan smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of fruit fillings Second Master and Second Young Madam like to eat, why not pick the ones they like and ask the shopping manager to prepare them."
After asking a few more questions, Lin Yuxi realized that the mooncakes here were different from the ones she had eaten before. They did not have that kind of fluffy and fragrant crispy crust. They were just steamed cakes with fillings. However, they were made more delicately, and were clean and pleasing to the eye. In addition, as it was a festive occasion, many people bought them.
Lin Yuxi suddenly had an idea, and pulled Yang Chenchuan into the room, saying: "Husband, the shop has been decorated, can you take me to see it?"
The Mid-Autumn Festival is three days away. The shop is basically ready and is just waiting to open the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"What's so good about the shop? You'd better stay at home and wait to be paid." Yang Chenchuan chuckled.
Lin Yuxi was unwilling to give in: "I have a new idea, which can be completed before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Maybe we can even make some money. We have to hurry up."
Yang Chenchuan knew that she had many tricks up her sleeve, and if he really didn't let her go, he wouldn't know how to smear him later. He stretched out his finger and tapped her forehead: "You have me in your hands, right?"
Lin Yuxi knew that he had agreed, so she happily hugged his neck and offered him a kiss as a reward. However, how could a kiss that was only briefly touched and then left satisfy him? Yang Chenchuan pressed her against the wall and kissed her hard for a long time before letting her go.
Lin Yuxi looked at his swollen lips and wanted to slap him to death. She cursed: "You did this on purpose, didn't you? Your lips are so swollen, how can you go out and meet people?"
Yang Chenchuan laughed loudly, and pecked her lightly several times, "How about we go out tomorrow?"
"No! We have to do it now. Time is running out and we can't waste even a quarter of an hour!" Lin Yuxi said firmly. Her eyes became increasingly gloomy as she looked at Yang Chenchuan, and she was even more certain that he did it on purpose.
"Okay!" Seeing the spark of desire in her eyes, Yang Chenchuan gave in.
The two of them sat for a while, and when Lin Yuxi's lips were less swollen, they went to the Second Madam's yard together.
The Second Madam smiled and asked them to sit down. Lin Yuxi pulled at his clothes. Yang Chenchuan rolled his eyes. He had never seen anyone so anxious. He said to the Second Madam:
"Mother, Yuxi has been married for half a month and has not been to Mingde City yet. I want to take her for a walk around the area."
The second wife was stunned for a moment, then she smiled again and said, "Go if you want to, and bring a few more people with you." Lin Yuxi smiled and nodded in agreement.
After leaving the house, she felt like she was alive again. She took a deep breath and sighed, "The air outside the house is still better!"
"What did you say?" Yang Chenchuan, who was standing next to her, snorted coldly.
Lin Yuxi was startled and immediately changed her words: "I mean, no matter how good the air outside is, it can't compare to our Tingyu Pavilion."
Yang Chenchuan wanted to laugh at the servile look, but he had to hold it back. He said with a stern face: "If that's the case, then let's go back. Anyway, the ones outside are not as good as those in our garden."
Lin Yuxi was unhappy when she heard this. This fickle villain had promised to take her out, but now he was going back on his word. She glared at him, as if to say that if he broke his promise, she would ignore him in the future.
Yang Chenchuan sighed again and put on the hat for her himself. Lin Yuxi's eyebrows and eyes have grown now, and her beauty makes him wish he could hide her for the rest of his life.
"Husband, the weather is very hot now. Why are you wearing this hat? Do you want to make me faint from the heat?" Lin Yuxi complained with a pout.
Yang Chenchuan snorted coldly: "Either go back or wear it, there is no room for negotiation."
Well, Lin Yuxi finally wore the hat obediently. She took it off when she got on the carriage, and put it on again when she got off. Fortunately, she could take it off when she arrived at the shop.
This shop specializes in selling desserts, and the name of the shop is Lin’s Lady Shop, which was chosen by Lin Yuxi based on the current national conditions.
Men and women were not allowed to touch each other, and ladies from noble families were not allowed to enter restaurants. The only place they could gather was in their boudoirs. There had never been a shop opened specifically for women.
This was also Lin Yuxi's sudden idea. Besides, most of the customers of this dessert are women, and there are relatively few men who like sweets. Instead of losing most of the female customers for these male customers, it is better to do business with women directly.
