Because the business of hot pot restaurants is booming, it has actually brought many tourists to Zhenjiang Prefecture. Most of them come for the hot pot, but they did not expect that Zhenjiang Prefecture also has a food street. , even ordinary people can afford it, but many people don’t want to leave after coming to Zhenjiang Prefecture.
Many vendors have seen business opportunities. Zhenjiang Prefecture has such a large passenger flow, but it is short of daily necessities. There are not many people selling cloth, satin, porcelain and pottery. Even the finished products are mediocre. Many merchants want to seize the opportunity. They wanted to get a piece of the pie, and when they saw that there were still vacant shops in the city, they wanted to buy them at a high price.
In just one month, Zhenjiang Prefecture received tens of thousands of taels of silver. Jiang Miao held the account book with a sigh on her face.
"If Zhenjiang Prefecture wants to develop, it still needs to attract investment. Only by allowing more merchants to settle in can it attract and retain customers."
Moreover, as towns prosper, shop rents will also increase accordingly. This is a cost-effective business for the county government. The more money you make, the more you can build better infrastructure.
Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao planned to use the money to repair the academy, pave roads, open up wasteland, etc., which would not only improve the appearance of Zhenjiang Prefecture, but also provide job opportunities for more people. They originally wanted to settle in Zhenjiang Prefecture but were afraid that they would not have a job. People's minds are filled with excitement.
This is both a recruitment and land reclamation project. It seems to welcome people to settle here. Seeing that Zhenjiang Prefecture is getting better and better, and there is also a food street to whet people's appetite, there are countless people applying for jobs.
The recruitment process is proceeding in an orderly manner, and life in Zhenjiang Mansion is gradually becoming calmer, except that Shen Yingxue's recent life has not been peaceful.
"Ms. Shen, give me another piece of cream cake."
In front of the pastry shop, stood a red man. He was holding a folding fan. His handsome appearance was even more elegant. Although he said he wanted a cake, his eyes were staring straight at Shen Yingxue, full of admiration. .
"for you."
Shen Yingxue lowered her eyes and didn't look at him, and handed the cake over to her. The man took it and deliberately ran his fingers across her palm, which was numb to the bones. Shen Yingxue jerked it back and almost threw away the cake in her hand.
"Mr. Song, please respect yourself!"
She glared at the man angrily, her eye circles faintly red, adding a special color to her cold face, which made the man even more excited.
"Ms. Shen, you have wronged me. I just bumped into her accidentally."
songs Bo, if she teases her even a little bit, she will burst into tears, which makes him want to bully her even more.
Shen Yingxue pursed her lips tightly and breathed in her chest, but there were still customers queuing up behind her, so she couldn't quarrel with the people in front of her.
"I misunderstood Mr. Lang. It's fifty coins in total. Mr. Lang, please leave immediately after paying the money. There are still guests waiting behind."
"But I haven't finished buying it yet..."
Song Lian curled her lips and smiled softly, but that smile was irritating no matter how you looked at it. Shen Yingxue took a deep breath and asked him through gritted teeth.
"What else does the gentleman want?"
"Well, this egg tart, chestnut cake, hawthorn pot helmet, shortbread and mung bean cake..."
Shen Yingxue remembered them one by one. Song Lian deliberately tormented her. Shen Yingxue just remembered what he said and when she took the tray to pick up snacks, he changed his tricks again.
"I don't want any of these, and have a portion of the rest."
"You!" Shen Yingxue paused slightly, her hand holding the clip was a little unsteady, and she wanted to throw it at his face.
"Why, Mrs. Shen doesn't want to do my business?"
Song Lian asked deliberately, with a look of grievance on his face, as if Shen Yingxue had done something to feel sorry for him. He was already good-looking, but the guest next to him who was waiting impatiently lost his temper and even stood in front of him. Bian blamed Shen Yingxue.
"Ms. Shen, just give this gentleman some snacks. The snacks in your shop are so delicious, so hesitation is normal."
"That's right, this husband has a decent appearance. He doesn't seem to be deliberately trying to be difficult for others. You'd better pretend to be him quickly."
Shen Yingxue's face froze, and she couldn't say any more words.
"Okay, I'll pretend for him!"
"Here you go, take your time and don't send me away!"
Shen Yingxue handed him the packed snacks, hoping that he would leave quickly.
Song Lian hugged her so much that she didn't even care that her clothes were wrinkled.
"Ms. Shen's snacks are so delicious, I will come again tomorrow."
Shen Yingxue turned her head indifferently and did not respond to his words. She understood what he meant. Buying snacks was fake, but coveting her was real. Shen Yingxue opened a shop here. It's not that she didn't meet someone who wanted to marry her, but in her heart I already have someone, and I don’t look down on others.
Normally, as long as she was indifferent to people, those people would naturally understand her rejection. However, Song Langjun was like a dog-skin plaster that she couldn't get rid of. She came to her door every day to pester her, which made Shen Yingxue extremely annoyed.
Guo Zhao was so busy that he forgot about his official duties and hurried to the food court. When he saw Shen Yingxue being entangled by a pretty boy, he felt like he was jealous and his whole body was full of sourness.
It had only been a few days since he came, and his wife was almost snatched away.
Although Shen Yingxue has been avoiding him and has not agreed to his marriage proposal, in Guo Zhao's heart, Shen Yingxue is his wife, the person he wants to join hands with in the next life.
"A piece of cream cake."
Shen Yingxue was lowering her head. She had just finished dealing with Song Lian and was in a bad mood. When she heard that another guest came to the door, she reluctantly cheered up to entertain her. However, when she raised her head and saw a familiar person, the smile on the corner of her mouth The smile gradually froze.
"Why are you here?"
It had been less than half a month since Guo Zhao's last visit. She thought that Guo Zhao would give up if she said it all, especially since Zhenjiang Mansion was still one day away from Furong Town. If it wasn't for official duties, he wouldn't have come.
"Do you have official business again?"
She asked casually while holding the snacks, but the hand holding the clip tightened unconsciously, and there was still some secret expectation in her heart.
Guo Zhao had a cold face and the straight corners of his mouth showed his displeasure.
He stayed up for three days in a row to finish his official duties. He just wanted to see her, but when he came to Zhenjiang Mansion, he was poured a bucket of cold water on his head. It turned out that he was the only one who thought about him day and night, and Shen Yingxue didn't care about him at all. Thinking of the pretty boy who had been pestering her just now, Guo Zhao felt even worse.
"Um."
What he originally wanted to say, 'I want to see you', was blocked in his mouth. He nodded with a cold face. Shen Yingxue's heart dropped quickly. It was obviously the expected answer, but she felt a little disappointed in her heart. Shen Yingxue secretly despised herself. Since She gave up first, so don't blame Guo Zhao for being cold.
"Official duties are urgent, so my benefactor, hurry up and get busy."
She consciously said that she was generous and considerate, but she didn't know that in Guo Zhao's ears, it meant driving him away. She didn't get tired of the pretty boy staying here for two quarters of an hour. Shen Yingxue just drove him away when he arrived. , Guo Zhao’s temper rose.
