Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 370, Section 370: Ideas
Bai Suihe didn't think about developing other businesses in Zhang County, and generously gave them advice.

The Qian family owns a grain store. Bai Suihe thought of the various types of porridge shops in later generations, went back to her room to get a charcoal pencil, and quickly drew a simple layout of the shop. "I think this porridge shop is quite suitable for this location. There is a large alley behind your shop. This porridge shop can solve the problem for some families who don't want to cook. I believe Madam Qian can think of many kinds of porridge."

The more Madam Qian thought about it, the better she felt it was; all she had to do was arrange for a few maids to be there to take charge.

As for the types of porridge, these wealthy families have seen quite a lot, especially the master who has traveled all over the country and must be able to find many recipes.

As for Madam Li from the rouge shop, Bai Suihe directly summoned Zisu and had her try on the rouge and powder she had bought from this world, instantly transforming the originally pretty girl into a stunning beauty.

"This is amazing," the three ladies didn't know what to say. If they knew how to dress themselves, would there still be so many new brides in the backyard?
They all depended on Bai Suihe for any business that could make their shops profitable.

At this moment, they were all staring at Bai Suihe's hands.

The women chatted more and more enthusiastically, and the gentlemen who had already drunk several cups of tea ahead of them started sending someone over to urge them to hurry up.

For the first time, these ladies expressed dissatisfaction with their husbands, finding them very annoying.

However, she still upheld the virtues of a woman, reluctantly bidding farewell to Bai Suihe and promising to come back to learn from him again tomorrow.

Bai Suihe saw the reluctant group to the door, causing the gentlemen on the other side to look back repeatedly, wondering when these women had become so sentimental.

In the past, when I took them out for social events, their expressions were all fake. How long has it been, and they've developed such a deep bond with Madam Gu?
They've never been this reluctant to leave before.

After finally seeing them off, Bai Suihe chuckled, "What were you guys talking about, all of you grown men?"

“It’s just the same old stuff in the county town,” Gu Kaiyuan said, even more curious. “What are you talking about? They seem really reluctant to leave.”

"It's about the shop. They wanted to make some extra money, so I helped them out." Bai Suihe wanted to make some friends in the county town, since their future base might be located here. Having someone to help each other would make things more secure.

Aren't you afraid they'll steal your business?

Bai Suihe glanced at him and said, "Everyone here is smart enough not to have a conflict with someone else's business."

The ideas I gave them were also somewhat related to their husbands' families' current business.

Although everyone was having a great time chatting, they'll probably think about it again tonight, and it's uncertain whether they'll be brave enough to try it.

"That's it?" Gu Kaiyuan didn't believe that he could win over these women. The families who came today were quite wealthy. Although they wanted to befriend them and learn from them, they didn't need to be so enthusiastic.

Bai Suihe led him back to the backyard, where they saw Zisu packing things up. Gu Kaiyuan seemed to understand something.

Bai Suihe: "How is it? Isn't it beautiful?"

Gu Kaiyuan nodded, "Indeed, it's amazing. Madam has turned the impossible into the possible..."

Bai Suihe: "...The way you said that shows a complete lack of emotional intelligence."

Fortunately, they were in the corridor, which was quite far from Zisu, and they weren't speaking loudly, so they probably wouldn't hear them.

Gu Kaiyuan said, "I am stating the facts. A lie is a lie. Even if it can deceive others for a while, it is not a long-term solution."

She added sweetly, "You're just like that, so natural and unpretentious. I'm already captivated by you."

Bai Suihe wanted to take back her previous words. This was hardly considered a lack of emotional intelligence; ever since they'd opened up, Gu Kaiyuan seemed to have become increasingly fond of flirting. Bai Suihe cleared her throat. "Just tell me, which look do you think is better, Zisu's current appearance or her previous one?"

"That goes without saying, of course it's now." Gu Kaiyuan still didn't mince words and said truthfully, "If she goes out like this, she'll probably attract a lot of attention."

Bai Suihe: "So, if you open a cosmetics shop, do you think it could bring about a big transformation in someone? Do you think it's a viable business?"

Gu Kaiyuan said, "It is feasible, but I'm afraid others won't be willing to spend a lot of money to maintain a short-lived glory."

Going to the shop to get your makeup done every day is impractical, so this business really needs to be examined.

Bai Suihe said, "Don't forget, Madam Li originally ran a rouge shop. How do you think it would be a good business to use their rouge to make various makeup looks?"

Gu Kaiyuan, “…” You have to admit, this is actually a good idea. Not only will the sales of the rouge shop increase, but Madam Li can also make a profit from it.

After finishing her work, Zisu returned to her room and looked in the mirror, hardly believing it was herself.

Granny Pang glanced at it curiously, but said nothing.

However, after dinner, when it was time to study, she brought some bottles and jars into her room.

"Granny, what are we learning today?" Bai Suihe was very curious. After all, Granny Pang brought something new, so there must be a new course.

"I saw you make Zisu look prettier today, so it seems you have some talent in disguise. Let's talk about that today..."

Bai Suihe's eyes sparkled. "Granny, you can also disguise yourself."

Although modern makeup techniques can also be described as disguise techniques, they are far inferior to real disguise techniques.

The legendary art of disguise allows one to change their appearance at will, giving them a million different faces.

"I've learned a bit," Granny Pang said modestly. "Now I'll tell you about the uses of these medicinal herbs..."

The two quickly got into class mode, while Gu Kaiyuan had already quietly taken his little daughter out for a stroll.

It's dark now, so he can't go out. He's just walking around in the back garden.

When she felt a bit chilly, she carried her to the room to rest.

Gu Xingyang blinked, "Father, are you just going to leave me like this?"

Gu Xingyang could accept being put to this arrangement several times before, but Gu Kaiyuan is becoming more and more unreliable. He starts the car before she even falls asleep. She is still a baby, so why can't he comfort her a little more?
“Baby, are you hungry or want to drink water?” Gu Kaiyuan stopped and went back to the edge of the kang. “Daddy didn’t mean to ignore you. I saw you were sleepy and wanted you to rest so you can grow taller.”

Gu Xingyang said, "But you didn't read to me or tell me any stories."

She was naturally very supportive of her mother learning medicine, as having more skills would give her more security in this world.

These days, whenever she's awake, she secretly learns some tricks, especially those little prank recipes. She's already memorized them and can practice them slowly when she's older.
