The wicked sister-in-law is in charge; meals include fish and shrimp.

Chapter 204 Big Business Opportunity

When she woke up in the morning, she saw that her brother was absent-minded, so she told him to stay home and do carpentry.

As for the congratulatory gift that the brother and sister prepared for the restaurant, they also sent it.

She'd heard that eating something sweet could improve one's mood, but it was too late and all the dessert shops were closed, so she took the cake from the restaurant that no one was eating.

Zhou Shen picked up a fork, forked a large piece, and put it in his mouth. After eating it, he seemed to feel much better.

Although I've eaten here before, this time it felt different from before.

Zhou Yun sat next to him, feeling a mix of emotions. She had already let go of everything, but when would her brother be able to let go?

Brother Zi'an once told him, "There are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on my delicate sister?"

Zhou Shen finished the last piece of cake and breathed a sigh of relief. He patted Zhou Yun's head and asked with a smile, "Was the restaurant busy today? You're back so late."

Zhou Yun nodded and told him how great business was at Baiweizhai today, adding at the end, "If my brother were here, we probably wouldn't be so busy, sigh."

She rubbed her shoulders in a mock manner, which amused Zhou Shen. "Tomorrow I'll put aside the orders I'm handling and go help out at the restaurant."

He'd been thinking about this for a whole day and night. Why was he agonizing over love and romance? He still had a younger sister to support. He needed to work hard to save up for her dowry, so his parents could rest easy in heaven.

Seeing that her brother had finally returned to normal, Zhou Yun silently prayed to heaven for protection, hoping that she wouldn't see Sister Luo Zhi turn back into that deadbeat state she had during the day tomorrow.

The scent of camphor wood wafted through the small courtyard. Looking at the yard piled high with wood, she hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Brother, once my monthly salary is paid, can we move to a bigger courtyard?"

Every day when she came home, she saw her brother crammed in the middle of a huge pile of wood, looking really tired. Who would like to work in such a cramped space?

Wood already takes up a lot of space, and it must be so uncomfortable for people to squeeze in there and keep moving around.

Zhou Shen assumed that she felt the place was too small and uncomfortable, so he immediately agreed to his sister's request.

"Change it! No need to wait for your monthly payment."

"Once my brother finishes these two orders, we'll buy a house with a big yard."

He recently took on many jobs for wealthy families. Although they were all small items, the focus was on fine workmanship. The families were satisfied with the work and paid him a good amount of money.

Once I finish these two orders and add the money I've saved up, buying a bigger place will be no problem.

Zhou Yun's mouth dropped open in astonishment. She meant renting a larger yard, not just buying a place to live...

How much money will that cost? Won't it cost money to get a wife later?!

She tugged at Zhou Shen's clothes, her lips twitching slightly. "Brother, I meant renting a bigger yard for you to do the carpentry work, not buying a bigger place to live."

Upon hearing that the reason for wanting to change locations was because of his sister, Zhou Shen was even more determined to buy the tickets, saying, "This is up to your brother."

"I'll find a place close to the restaurant, so it'll be convenient for you to go out and come home."

Zhou Yun said a few more words, but when she saw that her persuasion was ineffective, she gave up.

When girls are feeling down, they might spend a lot of money on shopping sprees, and so do boys, right?

Seeing Zhou Shen pick up the chisel again, he knew he would be working until late at night before resting.

The next day, he got up very early again and woke up Zhou Yun, who was still asleep.

In the morning, the main tasks were preparing food and cleaning. When the brother and sister arrived at the restaurant, everyone was already busy. They put on their restaurant uniforms and rolled up their sleeves to get to work.

Zhou Shen was about to splash a basin of water when a girl in a pale yellow dress suddenly ran out from the side.

His hand slipped, and half the water in the basin spilled onto the girl's skirt.

"Are you alright, young lady?! I didn't see you coming!"

Seeing that her skirt was soaked, he said apologetically, "How much is this dress, miss? I'll pay for it."

Yinzhu waved her hand, bent down slightly, lifted her still dripping skirt, and wrung it out. "It's alright, I just suddenly rushed out and you couldn't stop yourself."

I should be the one apologizing to you.

She straightened up, and Zhou Shen was looking over at her. When their eyes met, they both felt a little awkward.

"sorry!"

"I'm sorry!" they both said in unison, making the situation even more awkward.

Wen Luozhi noticed this and put down the rag she was holding. She came over and invited Yinzhu to sit down. "I'm sorry, miss."

She poured a cup of tea and handed it to her. Yinzhu thanked her and then had time to look at Wen Luozhi.

She is a beautiful woman; one glance at her reveals her to be a remarkable person.

"I have clothes drying facilities upstairs. Would you like to come upstairs with me, young lady?"

Seeing that she was not speaking but staring at her, Wen Luozhi touched her face and asked in confusion, "Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me, young lady?"

Her eyes crinkled with a smile, and Yinzhu was almost mesmerized. She quickly replied, "No! I was just a little captivated by how beautiful this young lady is."

Wen Luozhi was both amused and exasperated. She pointed to the hem of her skirt and said, "Come upstairs with me. This wet skirt is really uncomfortable to wear."

Yinzhu nodded and followed her upstairs, asking as they walked, "You must be the owner of Baiweizhai, right?"

The person who brought me food yesterday said that the owner of the newly opened restaurant on East Street is a young woman, and she is quite pretty and charming. I think it must be her.

Seeing her nod, Yinzhu explained the purpose of coming to Baiwei Village early in the morning.

It turns out that the young lady and the master and mistress really liked the food I brought back yesterday, so they asked her to come and see what new dishes were available today so that she could buy them all.

If the food tastes as good as yesterday, then the chefs at Baiweizhai will be asked to prepare the dishes for the birthday celebration.

Wen Luozhi knew immediately that this was a big deal, and her eyes darted around before she started her persuasive sales pitch:

"A fiftieth birthday celebration definitely needs to be grand and spectacular, right?"

Yinzhu nodded. Their master was very concerned about his reputation, and he was even planning to renovate the courtyard to make it more luxurious.

"The first floor of our restaurant is for regular diners, while the second floor has both private rooms and a main dining area."

"The third floor is open; even if all of your master's relatives and friends come, there will be plenty of seating."

By then, the skirt had dried, and Wen Luozhi pulled Yinzhu along as they strolled from the second floor to the third, talking until their throats were dry.

"Instead of staying at your residence, why not come to our restaurant? All you need to do is bring your guests over, and we won't take care of anything else."

It's just a one-stop service, and she had already planned it out, with a very attractive price.

Yinzhu had never seen such a unique decoration as Baiweizhai, and she was already tempted by what she had said. However, even if she thought it was feasible, it was useless.

"The boss's idea is excellent, but I still need to go back and discuss it with my husband and wife."

"They definitely need to come and take a look."

Wen Luozhi naturally understood, and patted her chest to assure him, "You can come anytime; I'll be here for the next couple of days."

Hehe! She was originally planning to go back today! Oh well, never mind, I'll just take advantage of this opportunity first.
