Chapter 952 Reluctant to Leave
Zhou Guo walked around upstairs and downstairs and praised, "Not bad, better than Yunzhou's. Have you decided on the opening day?"
"It's all set. The storytellers, the pianists, and the lion dancers are all here. It's going to be a lot of fun."
The prices are quite high, and I don’t know how long it will take for a dim sum shop to make back the money.
Zhou Guo still heard what was mumbling.
She said, "No matter how long it takes to make the money back, it's good to have a lively shop. The money is worth it. From now on, the musician will come to the shop every day. Have you agreed on this?"
Speaking of this, Er Pang was happy, "It's a deal. The musician is very willing to do this job. With her playing the zither upstairs, it can really attract a lot of customers to the shop. Many people stop by. Master, this idea of yours is really good. Where did you come up with it?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "This is not surprising. Didn't Fu Man Lou and Chao Shui Lou use this trick when they were competing? Our dim sum and tea shop is an elegant place, and the contrasting sounds of the piano can be regarded as complementing each other."
She went to the kitchen, where two veteran dim sum chefs were transferred from Yunzhou.
At the beginning, Zhou Guo led them to make pastries day and night. They admired Zhou Guo from the bottom of their hearts for his ability to make so many beautiful and delicious pastries.
He drank the tea recipe that the two women brought from the village and was amazed after tasting it, "Tea can taste like this! The master is indeed the master!"
I tried it with some pastries and found that nothing was more suitable than this.
He was full of admiration for Zhou Guo, "Master, you can not only make cakes, but you can also make tea so well. We can't think of such a method even if we rack our brains."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "This is not just my achievement. It was done by my wife and the eldest young lady together."
Li and Wu Ya have contributed a lot.
The old man was eating cakes and drinking tea in the lobby. There was a plate of fruit on the table. He nodded from time to time while eating.
Zhou Guo leaned over and said, "You don't like this tea, and you even said that drinking sweet tea is torture."
The old man said, "This is not the one you gave me to drink at the beginning. This one is still acceptable. It is quite interesting when paired with the snacks."
Zhou Guo didn't expose him. He just took a look at his cup. It was such a big cup, but there was only a little tea left at the bottom.
They left before the shop opened.
Erpang also left, and Huzi stayed in Yunzhou to take charge.
The group drove two horse-drawn carriages, and the other one was mainly used to transport luggage. All the dry food, rice, flour, quilts and clothes were placed on that carriage.
Otherwise, they are all young men with horses to ride, so who would be willing to ride in a carriage?
A group of people rushed to Huaiyang, where Qian Duo was waiting with five or six people.
As soon as he saw her, his face fell.
Zhou Guo joked, "Why, are you in menopause?"
"What, what period?" Qian Duo didn't understand, but said reluctantly: "I'm growing fruits well, why do you want me to go to the south? My fruits and crabs are all growing well over there. There will be a bumper harvest of fruits next year, and even the cherry seedlings on several hills will begin to bear fruit."
This man has become quite interested in farming on the farm over the years and is reluctant to leave.
Zhou Guo said, "I know you are reluctant to leave the manor, but you are the second in command after all. You can't stay in the manor forever, right? You have to come out and work. When the situation over there stabilizes, you can go back to the manor. Or you can just choose a place and build the manor yourself this time. You can build whatever you want. Even if you want to stay, you have to stay there for a few years. It won't work without someone to take charge."
He has a lot of money and is capable, but he doesn't have any big ambitions. All he wants to do all day is grow crops, vegetables and fruits, and live a leisurely life picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence.
How can that be possible? She hasn’t even had it yet.
Qian Duo sighed, "You have so many capable people under you, including Lai Zi Tou and the others. Aren't there many capable people among these brothers? Why do you have to ask me to go to the south?"
"Because you are a leader after all. The south is so wide, and it is not appropriate to have no one who can make decisions. Lai Zitou is not suitable for this job. Besides, he has to manage the escort agency. Wujiang has Nanhe, and Hu Zi can't leave. When the time comes, I will ask Da Pang or Quan Zi to help you, so that you won't be alone."
With such a large area, one must have someone who can get along with the government to get things done. After searching around, the most suitable person is someone with a lot of money. But there is nothing to do. He has been on the farm for several years and is the one with the most free time.
Qian Duo reluctantly said, "Okay, but do you really want me to build this farm myself? I think this place is pretty good. Everything is ready. I can see that the farm will make a lot of money. Just let me go..."
At this point, he asked Zhou Guo, "Have you found someone to take over my farm? I tell you, you have to find someone reliable. The farm has fields, mountains, fruits, livestock, and ponds. It's huge, and it's hard for ordinary people to manage it."
Zhou Guo nodded, "Don't worry, I still have to rely on Zhuangzi to make money."
There are not many people who can deal with the government, but there are not many village heads either, so just pick out a capable one among them.
Qian Duo nodded, got into the carriage, glanced behind him and lowered the curtain.
"go!"
Zhou Guo waved his hand, Erpang whipped his whip, and everyone was back on the road.
The old man glanced at the carriage following behind and said, "This Qian Duo is so young and he is still staying on the farm. He has been unwilling to move for so many years. Will you transfer him back in the future?"
Zhou Guo said: "It depends on him. If he wants to come back, then he can come back. However, I think the climate in the south is more comfortable. When he finds a wife in the south, he won't be able to come back whenever he wants."
"What are you talking about? How can the woman not go with her husband?" the old man was puzzled.
Zhou Guo was stunned for a moment, then said, "After having a child, the south is more suitable for living. The north is bitterly cold, and the water in many villages is bitter. How can it be compared with the water in the south?"
The old man said, "That's not what I meant."
There are not many places suitable for living in the north. When it comes to comfort, the south is naturally the choice. The four seasons are distinct, and even winter is not so miserable.
The group traveled on the road for more than half a month. They stayed where they found homes when they met them, and slept in the wild if they didn't.
In fact, there are still many opportunities to sleep outdoors.
Since they were not officials, they could not stay at the post station, and there were few inns along the way. Even if there were families, they would not be able to accommodate so many of them at once.
If we can't find an inn, we will all live in the wild.
There are about twenty people, and we have to cook two big pots just for rice.
The old man had nothing to do when he was free. He would feel his bones falling apart after sitting in a carriage all day, so he would often ride his horse into the woods to hunt before it got dark.
At this time, Zhou Guo led his men to find a place with water and stopped.
She had walked this route twice, so she knew exactly where the water sources were.
