Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Making Amends
Someone nearby heard the mention of the Young City Lord and couldn’t help but chime in, all praising the Young City Lord.
"The entry fees for Yunxiao City are low, unlike other cities where they are quite high, not to mention the rent or stall management fees for setting up a business here."
"In our Yunxiao City, the fees are low, and as long as you honestly set up a stall or open a shop, you can make some money."
"So Yunxiao City is quite good, but not just anyone can set up a stall or do business here..."
Su Muyao listened to this, a flicker in her eyes, indeed Yunxiao City was quite impressive, with excellent management and security, allowing one to peacefully open a business here.
Wen Nanxi smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with the other party.
Su Muyao took out the key and stepped forward to unlock the store door. Inside, it was clean and spacious, with a backyard, a well, and side rooms, one of which was specially built as a kitchen.
It’s worth mentioning that the two shops provided by Yun Qinglan were both quite excellent, each having a well, which would be convenient for food businesses.
Later on, a side room could be converted into a bedroom, convenient for resting at the store.
Wen Nanxi softly asked, "Wife, is there anything needed next? If tables and chairs are required, I can make them now."
The tables and chairs at home were previously made by Wen Nanxi, who chopped the wood and used his Wind Ability to craft them.
Su Muyao nodded, "Yes, we need some tables and chairs. I’ll draw some designs later, just make them according to those."
"Alright."
Hua Linye also expressed a positive attitude, "Wife, you’ll need bowls and chopsticks, right? I can make those too."
"If we’re opening a store and need to cook, I can use my Fire Ability to help with the fire."
Xiao Jihan said, "Wife, I can make ice."
Shen Ci’an chuckled softly, his elongated eyes narrowing lazily, "I can help my wife with anything."
"Wife, just give the orders."
Mei Qingchen glanced at Shen Ci’an, thinking those were the words he wanted to say.
Mei Qingchen could only speak up, "Wife, I have strength. I can help with chores, chop wood, carry water, knead dough, cut vegetables, and so on. I can do all of it."
These days, he followed along at home, learning the basic kitchen tasks.
Xie Guixue didn’t speak, but his cold and unblemished eyes carried a gentle hue, silently watching Su Muyao.
She knew he was willing to do a lot for her. His gaze told her everything she needed to know.
The Space System chirped excitedly, "Host, this is where having many Beast Husbands really shows. They can all help with work."
"This way, the host can be a lot more relaxed."
Su Muyao had to admit it was true.
"Then, thank you all for your hard work. Later, I’ll make some foods we’ve never had before for everyone."
They didn’t want the Crystal Coins, so she could only treat them to good food in different ways.
Everyone genuinely liked the food Su Muyao made; it was a cuisine they had never tasted before.
Shen Ci’an, who had been eating with them these days, knew how good her cooking was and how delicious her creations were.
Su Muyao looked at Xiao Jihan, "Xiao Jihan, perhaps you could painstakingly set up an icehouse in the corner of the backyard to store food and keep it from spoiling."
In summer, there can still be ice for seasonal foods.
Xiao Jihan’s Ice Ability was indeed very good.
"Okay, I’ll make the icehouse right away."
Xiao Jihan didn’t hesitate and rushed to get busy with it. Being able to do things for his wife made him happy because it showed he was useful to her.
Feeling useless and without value was what unsettled him deep down.
Su Muyao turned to Wen Nanxi, "Nanxi, here’s my drawing. Could you help me create some tables, chairs, and bowls and chopsticks?"
Saying this, Su Muyao took out the drawings she had prepared earlier, showing different styles and dimensions of tables, chairs, and utensils.
Looking at it, Wen Nanxi showed a look of shock and amazement. Such detailed drawings were something he had never seen before.
"What is this?" Wen Nanxi looked at the Arabic numerals on it, not understanding their purpose.
Su Muyao patiently explained, "Those are numbers, recording the dimensions, the length and width of the tables and chairs..."
Su Muyao explained the dimensions.
A bright light flashed in Wen Nanxi’s gentle eyes, "This way of recording is quite handy."
He’s never seen numbers like these.
Hua Linye and the others also looked over.
Upon seeing the drawing, they, too, were quite surprised.
Shen Ci’an sighed, "I never imagined that my wife could also draw. If, in the future, my wife returns to the Beast Emperor City, it will astonish everyone. What if others come to compete for her?"
Return to the Beast Emperor City?
She hadn’t thought about it yet.
Previously, no one believed they would return to the Beast Emperor City, but seeing the changes in their wife now made them think that maybe one day, they could truly accompany her back to the Beast Emperor City.
It’s just...
Just the thought of how wonderful she is made them prefer staying here with her, living a simple and peaceful life.
Su Muyao frowned, "I learned it in a dream. I learned these things to use them, not to show them off to anyone."
Su Muyao continued to explain the sizes of the tables, chairs, and utensils to Wen Nanxi.
Then she took out some drawn food pictures, illustrating stuffed cakes and steaming soy milk.
Hua Linye stepped forward and seemed to understand, "Wife, I can embroider these patterns onto cloth and display them at the entrance, making it easier for everyone to see clearly."
Many stalls or shops have canvas with embroidered names, but he thought he could embroider the styles of the food.
Hua Linye said this, looking at Su Muyao with hopeful eyes, his fox-like eyes burning with eagerness.
Su Muyao originally thought of having someone paint them on the walls.
But hearing Hua Linye’s idea, she thought it was a good one.
In this world, not many ordinary Beastman are literate. By embroidering the food patterns on cloth, everyone can instantly understand.
"But embroidering is time-consuming."
Once, in his disturbed Spirit Sea, she had seen his father’s experiences.
She thought perhaps embroidering was quite laborious.
"It’s not hard, wife, I can do it. I like embroidering things."
"I can embroider anything."
"Then, I appreciate it. If possible, could you also embroider ’Su’s Restaurant’ for me?"
"Sure."
Su Muyao didn’t assign Mei Qingchen a specific task. Since he learned to find things to do on his own now, he voluntarily went to chop wood and carry water.
Su Muyao also didn’t manage Shen Ci’an.
Shen Ci’an went to help chop wood and make tables, chairs, and utensils.
Xie Guixue assisted Su Muyao in tidying up a neighboring store.
The neighboring store needs to function as a pharmacy, requiring a lot of cabinets and boxes for storing herbs.
...
Su Muyao went to the kitchen to tidy up and get busy.
Even though there was nothing in the store, Su Muyao still planned to make stuffed cakes to sell at noon.
The soy milk ground in the morning was kept in the Space, just waiting to be heated up a bit for sale, and to make Su’s Restaurant a known name.
With these thoughts, she took flour out of the Space and began to work.
That night, after forming a Contract with Nanxi, not only did her superpower upgrade, but her Space also upgraded. After the upgrade, the Space Field expanded, and she planted wheat, and the Space even rewarded her with a lot of wheat flour, more than enough for her use.
Moreover, with the enhancement of her superpower, she could now expedite food growth, but with enough flour for now, she could wait for the wheat in the Space to mature naturally before grinding it into flour.
While Su Muyao was busy in the kitchen, Shen Ci’an came in holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Wife, these are flowers for you; I hope you like them."
