White Lao Wu truly practices what he preaches.

This is a test.

Two days later, he came to find Yang Ruqing again and dragged her to the east of Xiushui Town.

In front of a two-story shop behind Wa Market.

This place used to be a teahouse, and they did quite well. I often came here to see how their business was going.

"The shopkeeper's son behind him was no good, causing trouble and getting into legal trouble outside."

"The shopkeeper was in a hurry to raise money to settle his affairs, so he sold the shop at a reduced price."

Bai Lao Wu pointed to the street ahead and behind, then said to Yang Ruohqing, "The back gate of Wa Shi is crowded with people and has a wide street. It's perfect for opening a restaurant."

Yang Ruqing nodded, she was quite satisfied with the location.

White Lao Wu then said: "I made an appointment with the shopkeeper to wait for us inside. Let's go in and take a good look. If we like it, we can sign the contract today."

Yang Ruoqing smiled happily: "Good."

The two people immediately went inside the teahouse.

The teahouse is decorated in a classical Chinese style, which shows that the owner still has some knowledge and taste.

...or perhaps pursue a bit of refinement.

The hall's decor also exuded an elegant atmosphere, and a tall platform was set up at the front.

Above was a long table made of bamboo and wood, probably during the busiest times, they invited storytellers to perform.

A middle-aged man with a touch of scholarliness came over.

Through Bai Lao Wu's introduction, Yang Ruqing got to know the man.

He is the teahouse proprietor waiting here.

Taking Yang Ruohua and Bai Lao Wu up and down the floors, they looked at each room.

Then the backyard came again.

The backyard is also a simple quadrangle.

The layout is similar to Tianxianglou, with a large kitchen, a storeroom, and two side rooms used as resting quarters for the night watchmen.

Behind the courtyard there is a well and a washing pool.

There are also two sheds on the side.

Yang Ruqing mused, this ramshackle house could raise two pigs when she turned back, the leftovers from the restaurant used to feed them.

When a pig grows up, it can be slaughtered and its meat can supply restaurants. It's a win-win situation, with everything being utilized in a cycle.

Everything went well, Yang Ruqing had negotiated the price with the shopkeeper.

Then, with Lao Wu as the witness, they signed the contract and he paid in full.

There are three copies of the contract, and another copy was sent to the town official in charge of this matter by Lao Wu.

The teahouse project has been approved, now it's time to start the renovation.

Just as Yang Ruqing was about to ask Bai Lao Wu for help in finding a team of craftsmen in town, the transport team returned.

This trip wasn't carrying medicinal herbs, but instead was loaded with mountain goods and agricultural products from Mianniushan.

Handicrafts such as woven willow items were piled high in two carts. Please note: I only translated the content within the tags. I did not change the HTML tags themselves.

"Qing'er, we told your parents everything you asked us to."

"They've already started acquiring cotton and fabrics, so rest assured, they won't cause any trouble!" Chang-Geng said excitedly.

Xiaoyu had long been eager to rush from behind Chang Geng to Yang Ruqing's side. The two girls held hands tightly.

"Qing'er, I finally made it! The journey over the mountains and valleys was so much fun!" Xiaoyu said excitedly.

The girl's face was full of wonder at the world around her.

Yang Ruqing was also very happy, holding Xiaoyu's hand and saying, "I talked to Chang Geng Shu for a long time to get you here!"

Xiaoyu smiled and winked: "I knew you, Qing'er, would be the best to me. Don't worry, from now on I'll be your partner, we'll sell tofu together, become Tofu Xi Shi!"

"Hahaha..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Yang Ruqing smiled.

“We’re not selling tofu anymore, we’ve opened a wine shop instead.” she said.

“Ah?” Xiaoyu was surprised.

Chang Geng was astonished, Li Da'er and his wife were astonished, and everyone else nearby was astonished.

After the surprise, it was all joy and excitement. Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate! ?

“Qing'er, have you picked a location for the tavern? What will you call it?” Chang Geng asked.

Yang Ruqing said, "Naturally, it's still called Tianxianglou. What else would we call it?"

People suddenly understood.

Yang Ruqing said, "I just finished handling some things a couple of days ago. I'm really worried about finding craftsmen to do the renovations!"

Here's the translation: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Chang Geng patted his chest and said, "Why bother looking? We have it right here!"

"Back when we renovated the Tianxiang Building in QingShui Town, weren't we following that style? Shouldn't we keep it like that now?" he asked.

Yang Ruqing nodded. "Everything as usual."

The room layout, indoor lighting, and decoration all follow the style of Tianxiang Building in Qingshui Town.

Chain reaction!

As everyone discussed the restaurant along the way, they returned happily to the courtyard bought by Yang Ruqing.

Now, she has two properties in Xiushui Town.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

One place is the courtyard where I live now, and the other is a tavern.

She settled everyone in the courtyard, with the mules and wagons parked in the backyard.

Homegrown produce and hand-woven bamboo baskets, such as mats and winnowing trays, were all piled up in the empty shed at the front of the yard.

These agricultural and sideline products were all brought to the south by people from the transportation team on their way, entrusted by villagers to sell.

The transport team takes a cut as payment.

“You saved twenty eggs, and you absolutely insisted that I bring them to sell.”

When Xiaoyu was helping Yang Ruqing tidy up, she said to her.

“It was your father who stopped us. He said that going over these mountains and valleys with twenty eggs would be disastrous, they’d all get smashed before we even left the forest, so we didn’t bring any.”

Upon hearing about the Tan family affair, Yang Ruqing laughed.

>

"Twenty eggs, I don't know how long my mother has been keeping them warm!" she said.

"How are my parents? Are they alright? Nothing happened, right?" she asked Xiaoyu again.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Both adults and children are fine, you don't have to worry."

“Your mother told me to tell you to take good care of yourself. Don't worry about home, just come back when you have time.” Xiaoyu said.

Yang Ruqing curled her lips.

She wouldn't mind going back to have a look, but she's busy here!

>

"I'll go back after I'm done with this busy period." she said.

This is the content of your request:
Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I can handle most languages.

Two people were busy tidying up, and Li Da'er's wife Xiu Zhu came over.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

"Eastern House young lady, Xiao Yu young lady, you both stay here?"

Yang Ruqing got up and, seeing that it was her, hurriedly broke into a smile.

"Sister Xiuzhu, why are you here?" she asked.

Xiu Zhu said, “I’ll help you tidy up.”

Yang Ruqing said, "There's nothing much to fuss over, just tidy up a bit. Sis-in-law, you must have been tired on the road, go back to the room and rest!"

I had heard from Li Da'er long ago that Xiu Zhu's sister-in-law was not in good health.

Just now, I learned from Xiaoyu that along the way, Sister Xiuzhu had heatstroke but still persevered and followed them.

"Sister-in-law, your face is still pale. Go back to the room and rest for a while."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Yang Ruqing urged again.

Xiu Zhu smiled and shook her head: “After drinking the sour plum soup given by the host’s daughter, I feel much better.”

>

Yang Ruqing said, "Sister-in-law, just call me Qing'er from now on."

Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!

"Call me Xiaoyu."

Xiu Zhu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Eh, okay!"

>

The three of them worked together to tidy up the things. With Xiu Zhu's help, they soon had everything organized.

“Just so happens that there’s a big market in town tomorrow, we can have Baozhu and Yuzhu bring these things to the Wa Market to set up a stall.” Yang Ruqing said.

Others then helped her renovate the restaurant and took advantage of the heat to open it.
