Shocking! The entire court was drooling with envy because of me.

The Four Happiness Meatballs sold out quickly.

Shen Qing was tidying up and preparing to close the door when suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums rang out.

"Our teahouse is now open! Everyone is welcome to come in and have some tea!"

"Come into our shop and take a look at our clothes; they're all made of the finest materials."

"Jewelry! Jewelry for sale! Everyone come and take a look!"

"..."

In an instant, seven or eight shops opened, but they didn't sell food; instead, they sold jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, clothes and accessories.

Shenqing has many diners, and among them are even more wealthy and powerful people.

These shops all wanted to benefit from Zhiweixuan's reputation and attract more customers, but none of them wanted to compete with Zhiweixuan.

After all, they simply couldn't compete.

"Sister Shen!"

Shen Qing looked up and saw Zhao Wan rushing towards him from the opposite side.

"Sister Shen, the teahouse across the street is mine. I talked to my family for a long time, and my dad finally agreed to let me go out and do business!" Zhao Wan said excitedly.

She found doing business quite interesting, and she didn't know why her brother just didn't like it.

Shen Qing smiled and replied, "Congratulations on having your own teahouse."

"Sister Shen, I have something I'd like to discuss with you." Zhao Wan's eyes were bright.

"What is it?"

"There are always long queues at Zhiweixuan, and the customers must be tired and thirsty. I'm thinking of making a numbered ticket system so that customers can queue while drinking tea at the teahouse. That is, the numbered tickets would be issued by my teahouse, and then the staff would call out numbers one by one. When it's their turn, customers can directly buy food at Zhiweixuan!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing immediately felt that this pattern was very familiar.

Upon closer reflection, many modern restaurants do this.

However, her Zhiweixuan restaurant is too small to accommodate too many people.

Zhao Wan is indeed clever and has a great talent for doing business.

"What if a guest doesn't want to drink tea?" Shen Qing suddenly thought of a question.

If you can't get a number if you don't drink tea, isn't that the same as forced consumption?

"It's okay if you don't want tea. You can sit down and rest after you get a number."

"Don't worry, my teahouse is big enough. I've bought the three adjacent shops and already connected them."

"Sister Shen, what do you think? I'll give you 40% of the teahouse's profits, so that we can consider the teahouse as something we run together."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing immediately felt relieved.

The shop itself was quite large, and Zhao Wan bought three more rooms, so it could indeed accommodate quite a few people.

Thus, this suggestion is entirely beneficial, and diners will have another place to rest.

"Okay, I agree, but forget about the 40% profit; I don't need it."

"No way, say 40%, that's 40%." Zhao Wan grinned. "Then how about this, I'll send someone to make the license plates right now!"

"Wait a minute, do you even know how many meals I sell each day before you go and make number plates?"

"I know that the minimum is two hundred servings per day, and sometimes it's four hundred, six hundred, eight hundred, or even a thousand, but that's not very common."

"Sister Shen, don't worry about me, I will definitely handle this matter perfectly!"

Before Shen Qing could say anything, Zhao Wan rushed off again, clearly in a great mood.

Shen Qing smiled and closed the door. Ah Wan was truly adorable.

After returning home, she first went to Shen's mother's courtyard.

"Mother, Shen Chengzong and his wife ran away. These are the valuables they were planning to take with them, but they've all been taken back."

"These are our old house deeds and land deeds. They've all come back. Feel them."

Upon hearing this, Shen's mother instinctively stood up excitedly.

His hands trembled as he touched the contents of the package, his face filled with the joy of finding what he had lost.

"These were all built by your father, bit by bit; they are the fruits of his labor!"

"And our family restaurant, Qing'er, with your excellent cooking skills, it will definitely be run even better under your management!"

"In that case, your father can rest in peace in the afterlife."

"..."

Shen Qing had thought about the Shen Family Restaurant, but she was clearly too busy to deal with it right now.

Compared to operating income, the system's rewards are more cost-effective.

However, Shen's Restaurant really cannot afford to fail.

"Mother, I'll deal with the restaurant matter in a few days. I will definitely not let our family's restaurant go bankrupt."

Let's finish the system tasks at hand first before dealing with the restaurant matters.

"Good, good, good!" Mother Shen said three times, almost bursting into tears again.

Fortunately, she held back this time. She wanted to see it sooner so that she could help her daughter share some of the burden.

Shen Qing left the bag of gold and silver with his mother and then returned to his own courtyard.

She raised her hand and opened the system.

[Ding—Congratulations, host, for completing today's Four Happiness Meatballs task. Tomorrow's purchase limit will be increased to four hundred servings]

The procurement cap has been increased.

Shen Qing raised her hand and directly purchased four hundred portions, just waiting for the ingredients to be delivered tomorrow.

One night passed~

Another day full of energy!

Shen Qing prepared everything and, as usual, pushed the cart to Zhiweixuan.

Today, Zhiweixuan is different from before; there are no long queues at the entrance.

When Shen Qingyi appeared, several gasps of surprise rang out in the teahouse.

"Madam Shen is here!!"

"I am number one, number one!!"

"Great, I'm number three!"

"..."

Shen Qing stopped and looked around, then turned and went to the teahouse, smiling as he said, "Everyone, don't rush. You can come to Zhiweixuan to buy Four Happiness Meatballs in an hour and a half."

"good!!"

The diners cheered.

They were already a group of people who weren't short of money, and they were willing to queue up for such delicious food. Now that they can sit in a teahouse and wait, they are overjoyed.

Most people ordered tea and snacks.

Zhao Wan was busy, but when she saw Shen Qing, she winked at her playfully and then rushed over.

"Sister Shen, is it still two hundred servings today?"

"Today's total is four hundred."

"Thank goodness, thank goodness I was quick-witted and let everyone line up first. I just told the customers after number 400 directly, so they wouldn't have to wait in vain."

Shen Qing nodded. This made things much more orderly, with fewer queues on the street and the roads no longer blocked.

She returned to Zhiweixuan and began making Four Happiness Meatballs, just like yesterday.

......

After much deliberation, Shen De finally called upon two respected elders of the clan.

One is Shen Gao, and the other is Shen Mao.

The three men were about the same age; they were all old men.

After discussing it, they decided to deal with the matter as soon as possible, since it concerned the honor of the Shen family.

So, in the middle of the night, the three old men set off.

We walked step by step toward Ping'an County.

It wasn't until dawn, when they were quite high in the sky, that they finally reached Ping'an County.
