"Where's your master's family? Don't you come to solve these problems when business is bad?" Xu Shichu asked knowingly. No one in Uncle Ning Yuan's house is good at doing business. Naturally, it is impossible to bring the spice shop back to life, and the original owner is still complaining about himself after getting married.

, living in their own world, had no intention of taking a look at the dowry shop. No wonder this shop was hanging on half-dead.

"Hey, don't talk about it. Our master doesn't pay attention to this business at all. The last time he came to see this shop was a steward a year ago. Since then, he has ignored it except to get the account book. Three months ago

It's said that this shop was given to the owner's aunt who got married, and she didn't send anyone to take care of it..." the middle-aged waiter sighed.

Xu Shichu was dumbfounded after hearing his words. He didn't expect that Uncle Ning Yuan's mansion was really a waste. This serious shop didn't want to come back to life and do business to make money, but only wanted to worry about everything in the mansion. No wonder it was in such a dilapidated state.

"Shopkeeper, you don't have any hope. The aunt must not like this shop, so she will have to close it sooner or later! You should also find another way out earlier. Just rely on your skills in identifying and imitating fragrances.

Are you still worried that you won't be able to find a job?" the young waiter said nonchalantly.

"You are skilled? Then why did you wait here for so long?" Xu Shichu was a little surprised that the shopkeeper was still willing to stay here.

The middle-aged shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said: "I fled here from my hometown when I was a teenager. It was the old shopkeeper of this shop who took me in and taught me the skills of identifying and imitating fragrances. I have been here since then.

I'm done working in the shop. I've spent most of my life in this shop, how could I be willing to leave so easily?

I refused to give up, always thinking that if I persisted, maybe the owner would pay attention to this shop again? Then wouldn't I have a use?

Alas, I also know that this may be my extravagant hope. If there is no account this month, then I won’t be able to hold on. The whole family has to eat..."

When Xu Shichu heard this, he felt a little sad and a little moved. The shopkeeper was a person who valued friendship and had good skills, so he could consider staying and continuing to be the shopkeeper.

So she stopped concealing her identity and said to the middle-aged shopkeeper with a smile: "It's a good thing I'm here today, otherwise there wouldn't be a single clerk in my shop. Shopkeeper, you don't have to find other jobs."

After hearing what Xu Shichu said, the shopkeeper didn't understand it at first. After a while, his eyes widened in shock, and his eye sockets suddenly turned red. He was so excited that he was at a loss what to do and his words were incoherent:

"No, no need to look for work... No, no... You, you are our new master? It's great, I finally waited..."

"Yes, I plan to renovate this shop and reopen it after cleaning it up. You, the shopkeeper, have to keep an eye on these things. You won't be able to be so free in the future." Xu Shichu said with a smile.

The shopkeeper was so excited that he said repeatedly: "It's good to be busy! It's good to be busy! I will help you, madam, to keep an eye on things in the shop..."

"Okay, then you first put away all the spices left in the store and sort them out, and make the store empty. After that, I will draw the drawings for the renovation, and then you can find someone to renovate the store." Xu Shichu ordered.

The shopkeeper's expression suddenly became visibly alive, and his energy was completely different after having hope.

As for the young man who was stunned by Xu Shichu's identity change, Xu Shichu said calmly: "Since you have already planned to find another way out, I will not hinder your future."

It was still early after coming out of the spice shop, so Xu Shichu stopped by his bookstore to have a look.

To her surprise, the situation of the bookstore looked much better than that of the spice shop. At least the location of the bookstore and the flow of people were normal, and there were some scholars inside who were flipping through books.

However, Xu Shichu looked outside the door for a long time and did not find any customers paying to sell books. It turned out that most of the scholars who were browsing the books were just taking the opportunity to read the books instead of buying them. As shopkeepers and clerks, they could not refuse these people.

.

There are no major problems in the bookstore, but there are no shortage of minor problems. However, Xu Shichu is not in a hurry to deal with the bookstore. After all, she is busy with recuperating her body and decorating the spice shop, and there is no need to rush.

"Madam, it's almost Youshi and it's getting late. Do you want to go back home?" Xu Shichu's new maid Zhichun asked.

It was only five o'clock in the afternoon, and Xu Shichu didn't want to go back so early. She suddenly thought: "Zhichun, which restaurant has the best food and is the most popular? Let's go back after eating."

Anyway, she was going to eat alone when she went back, so she might as well dine in a restaurant and listen to the excitement.

Zhichun was a little surprised by her master's interest, but she quickly said dutifully: "The largest restaurant in our capital is Wan Ke Lou. It is said that it is full of guests almost every day, and many dignitaries also like to entertain guests there."

Zhichun's former mistress was a high-ranking official. The high-ranking official committed a crime and was exiled. When she was sold, she happened to meet Xu Shichu. Xu Shichu needed an experienced and capable maid, so Zhichun, who had been in a big family, became very popular.

It's appropriate.

"Then go there." Xu Shichu said.

She only took two maids and a coachman to go out today. It was not a big party, and no one knew her outside, so she felt very comfortable.

The Wanke Building is indeed the largest restaurant in the capital. It is decorated with nobility and splendor, and the tables, chairs, and cups are all exquisite and beautiful. The guests who can come here are either rich or noble, and the level is extraordinary at first glance.

"Brother Luo Xian, which book did the allusion of 'Ou Zhi Fei Hu' you used in the college exam come from? I am so ignorant..." An elegant and low male voice came into Xu Shichu's ears.

When Xu Shichu heard the sound and looked over, he saw four or five young students surrounded by a handsome young man coming in from the door of the restaurant. The person who spoke was a young man with a tall figure and a gentle appearance.

Xu Shichu only thought that the handsome young man looked familiar, but couldn't remember who he was for a moment.

But someone soon solved her confusion. Zhichun whispered to her in a low voice: "Madam, the young master is here too. Do we want to go over and say hello?"

It turned out to be his cheap son, Xu Shichu suddenly realized, and then said: "No need, he is having dinner with his classmates, what are we doing there? There is no need to disturb him."

Zhichun stopped speaking. In the past few days since she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, she has generally understood that Madam and the three masters of the Prime Minister's Mansion do not have much contact, and their relationship can even be called strangers.

Seeing her cheap step-son being admired and surrounded by others, Xu Shichu felt no emotion in her heart, and she had no interest in trying to please him. It was enough that everyone just stayed on the same page, so she went straight to the side room.
