Chapter 637: Negotiations
Otherwise, with the financial resources of the Xie family, they would have already opened at least the entire Nan Yuan Prefecture.
Madam Xie admitted, "I plan to use my dowry to open the shop. Actually, I'm worried that Yu'er won't be able to adapt to the food when he goes out to take the exam, so I thought of opening a restaurant with a specialty menu. When he goes to the prefectural city or even the capital, he can still enjoy hometown cuisine."
"Madam is really kind to Yu'er. He will definitely be very happy when he finds out." Ye Muyu sincerely smiled.
However, logically speaking, when Xie Yu went to take the exam, he should have brought along a cook. It would be easy to have hometown cuisine without needing to open a restaurant.
However, Ye Muyu thought that opening a specialty restaurant was also a selling point. If the taste was good enough, it could still be sustainable. As long as it was a profitable business, it was worth trying.
"For him, doing well in the exam is the greatest reward for me. For families like ours that don't produce scholars, it will only get harder and harder. I'm doing it for his own good." Madam Xie sighed slightly.
"Madam, rest assured. I heard from my husband that Yu'er is very knowledgeable, so passing the exam shouldn't be a problem."
"Chu Heng really said that?" Madam Xie's face lit up with joy.
Ye Muyu now had a realization that her husband's knowledge was indeed very impressive. "My husband did say so. Madam, just rest assured."
"I just hope he will pass the exam smoothly this time. Actually, Yu'er is still young, so we can wait but his second uncle suggested that he could go to the examination hall to gain some experience."
"You see, I digressed. Regarding this shop, I will have someone prepare the accounts first and then we can discuss how to cooperate when the time comes."
"Your culinary skills are good. If you're willing, you can just focus on cooking, and money is not a problem for the Xie family."
"Ah Yu, don't be fooled by the wealth of the Xie family. Money can't buy skill, so your culinary skills are quite valuable." Madam Xie lightly patted her hand.
Ye Muyu thought that although her culinary skills were good, they weren't that exceptional. She just had a few more unique characteristics than others, but they weren't as precious as Madam Xie said.
But since Madam Xie said so, it was obviously giving her face. She felt a little guilty and waved her hand, saying, "Madam, if you keep praising me like this, I'll fly away."
"I'm telling the truth." Madam Xie couldn't help but laugh too.
Fifteen minutes later.
Ye Muyu left the backyard.
It happened to be when Mr. Xie came back.
He happened to see Mr. Xie pointing at the flowers and asking why one pot was missing.
Ye Muyu paid attention for a moment.
She heard the servant by Madam Xie's side reply, "Madam gave it to Madam Chu."
"I see. Then tomorrow, find similar flowers to replace it. Those madams will definitely visit these days, and we can't afford to be ridiculed for missing a pot of flowers."
"Sir is right."
Ye Muyu walked away, still able to hear the low laughter of the maidservants.
It could be seen that Madam Xie's words were not fake. Those flowers were indeed meant to enhance their own background. Perhaps Madam Xie had also been ridiculed and suffered losses by those madams in secret, otherwise Mr. Xie wouldn't have that attitude.
However, giving away such valuable flowers made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
Ye Muyu returned to the courtyard.
She heard the sound of the two children playing.
The maid who had escorted her back stopped at the door and said, "Madam Chu, this servant will leave you here. If you need anything, just ask the sisters who are on duty here."
"Thank you." Ye Muyu nodded and thought for a moment before handing the unused handkerchief from her waist to the maid.
