"I, I didn't go anywhere. I just wanted to roam around."

Su Yian spoke with confidence.

"Hmm? Just going out? "

Shen Zhu looked at him suspiciously.

"Mother forced me to read a book." Su Yian felt extremely uncomfortable looking at her, and after a while, he admitted it himself and complained: "I'm different from Big Brother, I'm not even qualified to be a top student in the Imperial Examinations. My mother forced me to read it, I really can't take it anymore, so I ran out."

Su Yian scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at Shen Zhu with a fawning face, "Sister-in-law, I think your business is quite interesting, why don't you teach me how to do business?"

"Chun Cao, take the thing back first.

"After Shen Zhu and Chun Cao gave their orders, he looked at Su Yian with a dumbfounded expression, and asked:" Are you interested in doing business? "

Su Yian: "I think doing business is much more fun than reading books. It makes my head hurt to read those books everyday. Sister-in-law, how about I just follow you and learn how to do business together?"

Well, yes, compared to studying, he still liked to do business.

"There's nothing wrong with that." Shen Zhu thought for a moment, then laughed: "I'll give you a few questions, if you can answer them, I'll help you negotiate with Second Aunt."

Seeing that there was hope, Su Yian immediately nodded his head excitedly: "Sister-in-law, go ahead, go ahead."

Seeing his happy expression, Shen Zhu could not help but laugh. She thought for a moment, then slowly said: "If I were to give you ten combs, and tell you to go to the temple and sell them to monks, what would you do?"

After Su Yian heard this, the smile on his face stiffened, "Sister-in-law, are you sure you want to go to the temple to sell it to monks?"

"Yes, it is to be sold to monks." Shen Zhu smiled and nodded.

"Monk?" Su Yian lowered his head and muttered, "Monks don't have hair, what use do they have if they want these combs?"

Su Yian lowered his head in deep thought, but seeing that he was not in a difficult situation, Shen Zhu smiled: "I'll give you half a day to think about it, if you think of the answer, come and find me."

Just as Shen Zhu entered the room and was about to head back to his own courtyard, he heard Su Yian's surprised voice come from behind him, "Sister-in-law, I've thought of something!"

"You got an idea so quickly?" Shen Zhu stopped and turned to face Su Yian, his expression a little surprised.

"Isn't that simple?" Su Yian's face was filled with an excited smile, he walked up quickly and said with a face full of confidence: "The temple is on fire, there are many pilgrims that came to pay respects to Buddha, although Monks do not have hair, but they bought these combs, and carved the words' Accumulation Comb 'into them, as a gift to those pilgrims that come to pay their respects."

Su Yian beamed: This way, not to mention ten combs, even if there were thousands of them, selling them wouldn't be a problem.

"Yian, you're right. This is indeed an excellent method." Shen Zhu nodded his head in satisfaction.

Regarding the story of selling the comb to the monk, Shen Zhu was also from his previous life. He had accidentally seen it on the Internet, so this question was difficult for many people at the beginning.

She had originally thought that Su Yian would be stumped, even if he thought of a suitable answer it would take a lot of time. She didn't expect him to think of a strategy so quickly.

Shen Zhu asked Su Yian a few sales questions consecutively, and every one of them were answered beautifully. Shen Zhu was also very satisfied with his answers, and from the few questions, Su Yian indeed had a business mind.

"Sister-in-law, then can I do business with you?" Su Yian finished answering Shen Zhu's questions one by one and then looked at her with an expression of anticipation.

"Sure, I'll go talk to Second Aunt in a while." Shen Zhu laughed.

"Sister-in-law, you're so nice!" After Su Yian heard this, he excitedly praised Shen Zhu.

"It just so happens that I plan to go to the study room to take care of Yuzhu Pavilion's business. If you have nothing to do, why don't you come with me?" Shen Zhu laughed.

"Alright." Su Yian immediately followed suit.

Yuzhu Pavilion was about to open for business, so he had to prepare all the pre-opening activities as well as some preferential treatment for Shen Zhu. There were also all kinds of pastries that had different tastes, and the prices were all arranged differently.

"Sister-in-law, most of the nobles in the capital love to eat sweet food, so this large area is used to place sweet cakes. The salty food beside it is used to make the sour food here." Su Yian pointed to the positions on the drawing and suggested, "Oh yes, when we were at Clear Water Town before, sister-in-law's fruit wine was sold extremely well. The fruit wine on the second floor was all stored in small porcelain bottles and placed on a shelf.

"Alright, let's do it this way then. I'll leave these matters to you." Shen Zhu was very satisfied with Su Yian's suggestion, so he accepted it all.

"Alright." Su Yian laughed and nodded, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry. There won't be a problem leaving this matter to me, I guarantee that you'll be satisfied."

Shen Zhu nodded, after half a day of discussion, Yuzhu Pavilion's matter had basically been settled, as for the discount for the event, it was also about the same as Clear Water Town from before.

After Shen Zhu finished with his matters, he made a trip to Madame Xu's courtyard to discuss about Su Yian with her.

When she brought Chun Cao to Madame Xu's room, he was sitting on the soft couch making shoes.

"Greetings to Second Aunt." Shen Zhu bowed to Madame Xu according to the rules.

"Yue Niang, you're here." When Madame Xu saw Shen Zhu, he immediately put down his shoes and walked over with a smile. "Come, come, sit."

"Thank you, Second Aunt." Shen Zhu smiled and sat with the Madame Xu on the soft bed. She waved Chun Cao over and called him over, then she took the pastries out from the box in her hands one by one. "Second Aunt, this is the pastries I made today.

"Your cooking skills are so excellent that I can tell just by looking at it. The taste of such delicate pastries will definitely not be bad." Madame Xu smiled as he picked up a piece of pastries and took a bite, nodding in satisfaction, "This pastries is soft and delicious, its taste is not bad."

"Yue Niang, you are always busy, thank you." The Madame Xu laughed.

"That's what I should do."

Seeing that the Madame Xu was in a good mood, Shen Zhu brought up the matter regarding Su Yian.

"Second Aunt, I went out to take a look at the shop today, and I have everything prepared. I plan to open it in the future." Shen Zhu laughed and said: "It's just that the shop is lacking a capable person. I saw that Yian was clever and had a lot of ideas, so I asked him to come to the shop to help out."

"This Yian brat …" After the Madame Xu heard this, he could not help but laugh: "Did Yian get you to come here? The Boss Zhou was very well-connected, why would Yuzhu Pavilion be lacking in manpower? In my opinion, it's just that Yian didn't want to study, so he ran over to your place to complain. "

"Yian did indeed come to find me, but I agree that he going to Yuzhu Pavilion is more important because he values's talent. Although Yian does not usually like to read books, he is very smart …"

Shen Zhu hurriedly explained.

The Madame Xu shook his head with a smile, and said with a helpless expression: "I understand Yian's character, that brat did not rest at all throughout the entire day, and I can't care less, he can go wherever he wants to go. If he can help Yuzhu Pavilion, that would be great, but I'm afraid it will bring you trouble."

It was just that it was hard to tell if he would get married to that brat in the future.

"I was too happy that he came to help Yuzhu Pavilion. How would he cause any trouble?"

After Shen Zhu said a few more good things about Su Yian, the Madame Xu finally nodded.

Shen Zhu persuaded the Madame Xu to come out of her courtyard to return to the World Peace Garden. The moment she entered the room, she saw that Su Yian was already anxiously guarding the place.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, how is it?" Su Yian looked at Shen Zhu with anticipation.

Shen Zhu wanted to tease him, but she purposely kept a straight face.

Seeing that, Su Yian thought that she had not succeeded, and was disappointed: "Is my mother disagreeing?"

"Second Aunt agreed. She said she'll let you help Yuzhu Pavilion in the future." Shen Zhu laughed.

"Really?" Hearing this, Su Yian couldn't hide his excitement, and giggled: "Sister-in-law, you're really my savior. It's all thanks to you helping me this time."

Su Yian knew that Madame Xu had let go, and his heart that was in his throat finally relaxed. After chatting with Shen Zhu for a while, he returned to his own courtyard satisfied.

Two days later, Yuzhu Pavilion opened his shop. Shen Zhu and Su Yian had been busy since the morning and did not touch the ground the entire morning. Fortunately, everything in the shop had been tidied up before the auspicious hour arrived.

"Today is Yuzhu Pavilion's opening ceremony, and today's buyers will be given a free bottle of fruit wine by the top ten customers. Other than that, ten days before the store's opening, Yuzhu Pavilion has a taste test every day, and anyone who passes by, regardless of whether they buy it or not, will be given a taste test."

At Yuzhu Pavilion's door, a waiter was beating his gong and shouting.

After a while, Yuzhu Pavilion's door was surrounded by countless of people. Shen Zhu and Zhou Muqing exchanged a few courteous words with each other, and then, they cut the ribbon and pulled down the red silk on the signboard.

The crowd's cheers were mixed together with the firecrackers outside the store, and only after the time it took to drink a cup of tea did they calm down. When they saw Yuzhu Pavilion's arrangement, they all rushed in curiously.

These people who entered were not only attracted by the decorations of the restaurant, but were also attracted by the exquisite pastries. In addition, the price was not expensive, so regardless of whether the food was good or not, they were willing to buy some to try.

The shop assistants had already received their training the day before. Even though there were many customers entering the shop, none of the shop assistants panicked. They all did what they had to do and greeted the customers earnestly with enthusiasm.
