The Rough Hunter's Little Lucky Wife-Chapter 284 - 284 Main Emissary

284 Main Emissary

The booklet Lin Chenzhi had given him was about the Lin family’s shops in Bei City.

He was showing Zhao Zhan his strength.

“This is the dowry my mother gave me.” Yue Jiaojiao took the booklet and read it from the beginning. “Before I left Yang City, I brought the list of dowry my mother gave me with me. There are many shops and farms listed in this booklet. They are all my dowry.”

“Madam Qin.”

Madam Qin heard the commotion and entered the room. “My lady, you called for me?”

“There’s one thing I can’t remember clearly and wanted to ask you.” Yue Jiaojiao closed the booklet and put it aside. “When we were on our way to Bei City, did we bring the land deeds with us?”

“We brought them all.” Madam Qin recalled and said seriously, “We have a side courtyard in Bei City. When we left the Yue family back then, we planned to wait for you to get engaged in Bei City and then get married directly from the side courtyard.

“I thought that since you were getting married, I’ve double-checked your dowry list and brought all the things. The land deeds are also inside.”

“Who has been managing the shop that my mother bought in Bei City?”

“There is no one managing it. The shopkeepers in those shops are all people who have always helped and have always been loyal. They will come to Yang City once every half a year to give my lady the profit.

“This matter may not be clear to you, but that profit is counted as your dowry as well.”

Yue Jiaojiao and Zhao Zhan looked at each other.

This matter is a little strange…

The fact that the Lin family was able to take charge of those shops proved that the deed to the house was already in their hands. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

Madam Qin looked at Yue Jiaojiao’s expression and felt a little flustered. “My lady, is there anything else?”

“I suddenly recalled something.

“When we were surrounded by bandits on the road, I always thought that it was the Yue family and the Lin family’s plan, and that each side was fighting.”

Yue Jiaojiao shook her head slightly and her face was full of mockery.

“Now that I look at it, this whole thing was the Lin family’s doing.

“The Yue family only wants me to marry far away. A married daughter naturally has no way to hold the Yue family’s business seal.

“They want me to get married as soon as possible, so they didn’t cut off my dowry in the slightest…”

Yue Jiaojiao leaned lazily on Zhao Zhan. “It seems like someone else doesn’t want me to go to the Lin family.”

“These rascals! How could they be so vicious! If it wasn’t for the fact that you were blessed by the heavens, you would have lost her life!”

Madam Qin was extremely angry. She put her hands on her hips and walked around the house twice. “They are the only ones left in the Lin family. They have been very caring towards you for so many years. They even send gifts to you during the New Years. How could they bear to do such a cruel thing to you? Do you think he’s been doing it behind your backs this whole time?”

“It’s not him.” Yue Jiaojiao shook her head in denial. “If it was him, he would be so afraid of seeing me come back to life.”

Zhao Zhan, who had been silent all this while, put his arm around Yue Jiaojiao’s shoulder when he heard this. “It seems like I can’t let Lin Chenzhi return empty-handed.”

Yue Jiaojiao instantly understood what Zhao Zhan meant.

Half a month passed by in a flash.

The weather had been warmer recently, and the journey was no longer so difficult.

The Hundred Flavors Restaurant had officially changed its signboard a few days ago. Fang Tianliu had brought Li Xiangjun to Huai County, and after they had found the shop, they immediately informed Zhao Zhan.

Two days ago, Zhao Zhan had transported a carriage full of things to Huai County.

“Zhao Zhan, Jiaojiao,” Fang Tianliu, who had been guarding the entrance of Huai County’s shop, saw the two of them and was excited, “You’re finally here. Come in quickly and see how Xiangjun and I have tidied up the shop.”

Zhao Zhan and Yue Jiaojiao raised their heads to look at the signboard. On it were three big words carved with silver hooks and iron strokes — Hundred Flavors Restaurant.

As he stepped in, he saw two rows of shelves on the left and right of the shop. On the shelves were dried meat, sauces, pickled vegetables, seasonings, and several other goods.

In the middle of the shop was a heavy wooden table that was two meters long and one meter wide. Around the table were chairs.

In front of the wall facing the door, there was a thin, long table. It was empty at the moment.

“It looks like the blueprint I gave you.”

Zhao Zhan didn’t see anything wrong with it and patted Fang Tianliu’s shoulder.

“Good job.”

Fang Tianfu grinned, his entire demeanor exuding a silly aura.

Li Xiangjun, who was standing beside him, looked at him from the corner of her eyes and laughed. “Even if you’ve gotten better at handling things, your personality is still the same. You’re so silly.”

“Jiaojiao, let’s ignore them. Let’s go to the back and talk.”

Li Xiangjun came over and hugged Yue Jiaojiao’s arm affectionately. “I’ve gotten used to staying in the shop all day. Jiaojiao, aren’t you bored of being cooped up at home all day?”

“Zhao Zhan, come back to your senses.” Fang Tianliu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Zhao Zhan’s eyes. “Xiangjun won’t lose your wife.”

Yue Jiaojiao turned her head to look at him and waved her hand.

Only then did Zhao Zhan come back to his senses. “Then let’s talk about serious business.”

Fang Tianliu passed a stack of invitations to Zhao Zhan. “Ten days ago, our shop started to do promotional activities according to the method you thought of. I followed the regulations you listed and printed a thick stack of them. What’s that called?”

Zhao Zhan answered patiently, “Flyers.”

“Yes, yes.” Fang Tianliu patted his head and repeated it twice, forcing himself to remember it. “We paid it for three whole days. After that, we stopped for another day.”

Fang Tianliu’s face was full of pride as he said this, as if he was waiting for praise. “In order to verify what you said, I personally brought people to the streets to ask around. The people of Huai County were all talking about it, and some shopkeepers had already visited our place to check us out.”

Fang Tianliu felt that he could finally hold his head high these few days. Although it had been a tough journey, he felt that it was worth it.

Even his father, who glared at him the moment he saw him, had his expression softened.

Zhao Zhan patiently waited for Fang Tianliu to finish.

“I’ve said too much,” Fang Tianliu continued, “We waited until everyone’s curiosity reached the peak and our shop officially opened. You should’ve seen it that day. Our shop was crowded with people!”

...

“That’s good.” Zhao Zhan stretched out his hand, “Did you see all the people on the post yesterday?”

The early promotional plan was something Zhao Zhan had thought about carefully.

There was a story printed on the three flyers, and they turned into a complete story after the three flyers were put together.

On the opening day of the shop, one could receive a food tasting gift by registering at the door with the three flyers.

Although the things in their shop were not considered expensive, they were rare enough for people to want a bite.

It could be said that in the past half a month, if there was anyone in Huai County who had not heard of this shop, they would be scolded for being ignorant.

“We’ve already met yesterday,” Fang Tianfu rubbed his face to make himself look more serious, “According to what you said, I made them pay a deposit of a hundred pieces of silver per person, and these shopkeepers were all willing to fork out the payment!”
