More importantly, this shop was located in the center of the prefectural city. It was the best location in the city. It was said that the shop was very big, the size of two grocery stores.
Alright, everyone was in an uproar.
Then, they swarmed towards the Yu family’s house. They were so crowded at the door that they could fight.
All of them used the best eloquence in their lives to recommend themselves desperately, wanting to work in that shop.
Until Uncle Yu told everyone in a regretful tone that he had already hired the eldest son of the Zhang family next door.
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they started scolding Old Zhang.
“I wondered why he was hypocritically telling us not to spout nonsense this morning. Did he already know about it?”
“That’s right. Wasn’t he at Old Yu’s house in the morning? He must have heard the entire process.”
“I saw Yanghong go to Old Zhang’s house just now. Oh my, if I had known, I would have stopped him.”
All of them instantly scolded the pretentious Old Man Zhang.
Therefore, when he gathered his emotions and planned to go out to brag and tell everyone that his son had got a job, he was almost beaten up by his neighbors.
When the three members of the Yu Family heard the commotion outside, they all smiled and went to bed to rest.
In the following days, Gu Yundong and the Yu family began to renovate the provision store.
The eldest son of the Zhang family also came to help. He was indeed diligent.
Carpenter Tan sent over all kinds of sturdy shelves in a few days. Everyone was in high spirits and set them up one by one. In an instant, the place became decent.
Gu Dajiang had come once. He had been forced by Gu Yundong to recuperate in the inn.
Now that his wound had already scabbed over, it was just itchy and uncomfortable. Sometimes, Gu Dajiang couldn’t help but grab it, and it would bleed.
Gu Yundong asked Xue Rong to keep an eye on him. She even wrapped Gu Dajiang’s ten fingers in gauze.
Gu Dajiang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at his thick fingers. He didn’t expect such a day to come for him.
During the renovation of the shop, Duan Qian came twice. Gu Yundong found this person quite interesting and even invited him to the Xuanhe Prefecture when he was free.
Unexpectedly, Duan Qian agreed. “I do want to make a trip to the Xuanhe Prefecture. I heard that someone started manufacturing and selling white sugar in that place.”
Gu Yundong, who had created white sugar, was speechless. She could only touch her nose and laugh dryly.
Duan Wan had never been here. Anyway, Gu Yundong felt that she was making a fuss. Perhaps because there was no pressure from the Xin family, as the young lady of the Duan family, she was a little arrogant.
After the shop was renovated, Uncle Yu brought the eldest son of the Zhang family to the countryside to collect things, including eggs, food, and some daily necessities. He had already contacted the providers a few days ago. Now that he had given them money, he could just bring them back.
On the first day of business, Gu Yundong invited the lion dance team over to have a good time.
Most importantly, she had invited Duan Qian over. As the heir of the Duan Clan, Duan Qian’s face was not unfamiliar in this city.
Everyone who came to watch the show knew that the Duan family was endorsing the shop.
Originally, some of the wealthy families in the city who wanted to buy this shop, and even the small officials and generals with some power, had all given up their thoughts now. Instead, they openly bought some gifts to congratulate the shopkeeper on opening.
It was just that when they saw the shop’s plaque, they were a little speechless.
Why… was this a grocery store??
