Chapter 253 The first step to making a name for yourself

After August [-]th, Mu Jiaojiao changed even more, almost every day.Every morning when I wake up, when I see the person sleeping next to my pillow, Cui Pu will be stunned for a while, and it takes a long time to realize that she has become beautiful again.

While feeling pleasing to the eye, the fear in his heart also began to increase day by day.

I don't know why, when facing Mu Jiaojiao's increasingly beautiful and compelling face, there will always be some hidden worries in his heart - he is afraid that someone will come quietly and steal her away from him.Therefore, he subconsciously watched her more closely.

In all fairness, he would rather she was born more ordinary, the same as when they got married, it doesn't matter.That way, he felt more at ease in his heart.

Mu Jiaojiao was speechless to his nervous expression: "I stay at the house all day long, and I rarely go out to meet people. Why are you so cautious?"

"Be careful when sailing for ten thousand years. Anyway, your face is too attractive. You can't show your face casually in the future, and you can't allow men other than me to see your face!" Cui Pu insisted.

Mu Jiaojiao was helpless. "Okay, okay, from now on I will wear a veiled hat when I go out. Not only that, but whenever I have a chance to meet outsiders, I will put on makeup to make myself look ugly. How about this?"

She was joking and satirizing him.Who knew that Cui Pu's eyes lit up after hearing this: "This idea is good! You can do it like this in the future!"

"You..." Mu Jiaojiao stared, but was speechless.

"Hahaha……"

When Cheng Nineniang heard about their conversation, she immediately shook her head with laughter.Mu Yiyi was better, but she kept laughing while covering her mouth.

Mu Jiaojiao looked powerless: "Sister, what do you think I should do?"

"According to what he said!" Cheng Nineniang said, and Mu Yiyi nodded.

Mu Jiaojiao was startled, and Cheng Nineniang raised her chin, and gently traced her face with one hand: "Cui Liu is right, you are really getting more and more beautiful, and you will be more beautiful again after a while." So much, we can hardly believe our eyes. Don’t say that he is worried when he sees you like this, we are also jealous when we see it! Believe it or not, you go to the street like this, and there are many men Chasing after you, there are also women secretly stabbing villains and cursing you."

Mu Jiaojiao burst into a smile. "Sister, you also praised me too much."

"This is not a boast, but a fact." Mu Yiyi also said, "In the past year and a half, you changed quickly, but now it is even faster. And it seems that your changes are far from stopping. You are already so beautiful now, so when you really bloom, what kind of beauty will it be? Sister, I really want to know what kind of person your dear mother is, what kind of person is she? Isn't she as beautiful as you? Daddy rarely mentioned her to us these years, and he never showed us her portrait, which is also strange."

Hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao slowly lowered his eyes, and a gloomy light appeared in his eyes.

And at the same time, somewhere thousands of miles away from Yangzhou.

boom!
The door of the room was suddenly knocked open, and a little boy ran in holding a box: "Mr. Lord, it's bad, the vitality of this Heart-eating Gu is getting weaker and weaker!"

The man who was kneeling and playing the piano in the room paused when he heard this, and then slowly turned his head: "What do you think happened to it?"

"Since a month ago, it has been wrong. I have been observing this month, and found that its vitality is getting weaker and weaker, and it is hardly moving now!" Xiaotong said, and presented the box go up.

The man took it, and lifted the lid with his slender fingers, and he saw a fat, white bug curled up inside.The original white color has already been plated with a layer of dim light.

His eyes darkened immediately, and his bony fingers tapped out a crisp rhythm on the table: "It turned out to be fed medicine to the fetus... This day has finally come."
-
Cheng Nineniang's mother and son lived in Tianchang County for more than a month. She didn't bring her son back to Chang'an until she was sure that Mu Jiaojiao had fully recovered.

Time flies, and soon it is November, and the sweet potatoes in Tianchang County are ripe again.

This time the whole county took action together, coupled with the previous experience, the yield of sweet potatoes this time reached 450 catties per mu.The total output of the whole county is more than 200 million catties.This number once again boosted the morale of the entire county, and even Zuo Zhifu personally attended the scene and praised Cui Pu greatly.

Because of the high output this time, the Ministry of Household Affairs only collected 200 million catties and shipped them back to Chang'an, leaving the rest to Cui Pu.

On the third day after a large number of sweet potatoes were transported away, the sound of gongs and drums resounded throughout Tianchang County, and a Weiji Restaurant opened here!

Cui Pu, the magistrate of the county, came to the scene in person to help out his brother-in-law.

Now that he's here, all the country gentlemen in Tianchang County will naturally not miss this opportunity.Not only did they attend in person, but they also prepared a generous gift and brought their families to join in, making the opening ceremony a lively one.

After picking off the big red flower on the plaque, Wei Zhuang stood on the second floor of the restaurant and said: "This is the first restaurant opened by the Wei family in Tianchang County, but it will definitely not be the last! Now, thanks to the grace of the saint, Yangzhou The sweet potato operation business in the city has been handed over to our Wei family. Naturally, I want to give back to the people of Tianchang County as soon as possible. From today onwards, as long as everyone comes to Weiji Restaurant for dinner, they can order a portion for only ten yuan. Sweet potatoes. Fried, fried, fried, according to your taste. This sweet potato is planted to solve the plight of the people who don’t have enough to eat, and we will never hoard it to make huge profits!”

"it is good!"

When these words came out, they immediately won applause from everyone.

Although ten coins is a lot, it is still possible to get it out by gritting your teeth.And until now, sweet potatoes are still a rare item, and they have been fried for a small price before, and there is still a price but no market.Today, only Tianchang County, a place that produces sweet potatoes, can have the courage to let the people spend a little money to taste the taste of sweet potatoes.

Moreover, the main dish in Weijia Restaurant in Tianchang County is sweet potato.A seemingly inconspicuous sweet potato, in the hands of the cook, has transformed into various tricks, making it dizzying for the eyes to see.When you eat it in your mouth, the taste is also different, which is really memorable.

It's a pity that one table can only order one at a time, and more will not be served.But this is also understandable. After all, the production of sweet potatoes is not high now, how can they be opened for people to eat?Every time you come to eat, you can order a plate for everyone to taste, which is already very good!

Therefore, in order to taste all these strange sweet potato dishes, Weiji Restaurant has been full of business since the opening day, and many people come to eat it over and over again.

The reputation of sweet potatoes in Tianchang County quickly spread, not to mention Yangzhou City, even in nearby Suzhou, Xuzhou and other places, there are many people who go to Tianchang County without hesitation, and live here just to taste them. The taste of sweet potatoes.

And while waiting anxiously for Weiji restaurant to make room for them to feast on, they have to do other things, such as eating, drinking and having fun... Therefore, other entertainment projects in Tianchang County have gradually flourished .

At the end of the year, when Wei Zhuang came to settle the accounts, he was so excited that he couldn't finish his words.

"Payback in one month, one month!" Cui Pu sent the account book in front of him, and he was still sighing, "I have been in business for so many years, and this is the first time I have encountered such a fast return. It is Yangzhou It will take at least half a year for the Wei Jis in the mansion to earn back their capital and then gradually make profits. But this one in Tianchang County is... Sixth brother-in-law, I really admire the abilities of your husband and wife! "

In the backyard, Mu Yiyi also took Mu Jiaojiao's hand and sighed again and again.

"In the past, I heard from my father that you and your sixth brother-in-law were doing very well in Baicao Hall in Chang'an, and the business was extremely booming. Who knew that apart from Baicao Hall, you could even run a restaurant so well! Sister, ah! Sister, it’s a good thing you didn’t marry into a merchant’s family, otherwise how would other families live with you here?”

"Sister, aren't you joking? My brother-in-law is managing all the operations of this restaurant, and we just provided him with a place." Mu Jiaojiao said softly.

"You can't say that! The idea of ​​using the sweet potato reputation in Tianchang County to open a restaurant was proposed by you, right? It's your idea to make a sweet potato feast, right? There are so many different recipes, all of which come from you. Hands, and the supply of many sweet potatoes, these are the key to the success or failure of the restaurant. As for the management of the restaurant, you can find anyone who owns the restaurant, and they can help you do a good job." Mu Yiyi said , the hand holding Mu Jiaojiao became tighter and tighter.

"I'm really lucky. Why do you have a sister like you? Since you came to Yangzhou, your brother-in-law's status in Yangzhou mansion has been rising day by day. Even the magistrate Yanzuo can take the initiative to ask him when he sees him. My status in the Wei family has also gradually increased. A few days ago, Shiro and his wife went to Auntie and cried, saying that we only care about our own well-being and do not support them. But Auntie listened to it and never You dared to come to us and make random demands, and you were very polite to me, and you didn’t dare to say a single serious word! These are all thanks to you!”

"In order to express my gratitude, Sister gave me [-]% of the restaurant's bonus." When Cui Pu came back, Mu Jiaojiao said to him.

Cui Pu raised his eyebrows in an instant. "What a coincidence? In order to show my gratitude to me for supporting him, my brother-in-law also gave me [-]% of the restaurant's bonus."

The husband and wife were stunned for a while.

A [-]% bonus may sound like nothing, but after reading the account book, one should know how terrifying the profit of this Weiji restaurant is!Before opening the restaurant, it took a total of about [-] guan for site planning, various decorations and preliminary preparations.And this large sum of money was actually paid back in the first month of opening the restaurant!And this is because at the end of the year, many people are inconvenient to leave for various reasons.It is conceivable that after the Chinese New Year, more people will come here to enjoy sweet potatoes, and the profit of the restaurant will be even more astonishing!

And because this restaurant was originally jointly opened by Cui Pu and Wei Zhuang, the two parties each get [-]% of the bonus.But now, they forced back [-]% of the bonus to them, that is to say, Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu took [-]% of the bonus.

Taking this month's profit of 2 guan as a standard, they will get at least [-] guan every month in the future.That's so much in a month, and more than [-] in a year!In less than five years, they will be able to earn back the [-] coins that Mu Jiaojiao gave away before!
This is the most conservative algorithm.Once the momentum of development in the future is stronger... then maybe this time will be shortened.

This kind of money-making speed is really terrifying, and they can't accept it for a while.

"I've always heard that some people make a lot of money every day in business, so we should forget about it now?" Cui Pu whispered.

Mu Jiaojiao nodded. "almost."

Cui Pu cheered immediately. "Hahaha, that's great! In a small place like Tianchang County, I can actually open a restaurant that is making a lot of money every day. I'm such a genius! I must tell Dad about it, tell Dad about it. Brother... By the way, Lu Jiu can't let it go. I want them to take a good look at what I have done here, and make them proud of me!"

After speaking, he hugged Mu Jiaojiao again and kissed heavily: "Of course, the main thing is to thank my wife. If it wasn't for you, how could I have done this so quickly?"

"Then what are you going to do with the money?" Mu Jiaojiao asked.

Cui Pu thought for a while, and suddenly put on a cautious and ingratiating face: "If I tell you that I don't plan to fill the hole in your dowry with the money first, but have other plans, what are you thinking?"

"What do you plan to do with the money first?" Mu Jiaojiao only asked.

Immediately, Cui Pu's eyes began to sparkle again.

"I want to build roads! Build all the roads in the towns below Tianchang County!"

"Okay!" Mu Jiaojiao nodded immediately, "As long as it is a good thing for the well-being of the people, I will support you."

Cui Pu was instantly happier.He quickly picked up her face, and gently pressed his lips to hers: "You are really my good wife, I like you so much, I like you... If I don't have you by my side in this life, what's the point of my life? Come, let me kiss you..."
