Chapter 117: Falling Petals Are Expected
Zhang Daniu shook her head firmly.
"No, girl, I won't get married. I want to stay with you forever!"
Zhang Danniu's address and tone changed so quickly that Zhou Xiaoxi was not used to it.
She said helplessly:
"Big girl sister, let's not talk about other things for now. Can you still treat me the same way as before? Don't treat yourself as a servant. We are all equal."
'Equality', Yang Zian seemed to have never heard of this word. Of course, he knew the meaning of these two words, but is there any equality in this world?
He couldn't help but look at this girl who always gave him surprises or astonishment. Her thoughts or actions always seemed different from others.
Zhang Daniu wanted to refute, but she was a little conflicted. She was Xiaoxi's maid now, so she should listen to whatever her master said, right?
Never mind. Since I have determined that she is the master, I will just be an obedient maid. As for other things, I will ignore them for now.
Zhou Xiaoxi didn't expect that Zhang Danniu had convinced herself in this way in her heart, and she didn't expect that in the future she would have a caring maid who would obey her every word.
No matter how shocking her actions were, Zhang Da Niu would follow her arrangements without hesitation. Zhou Xiaoxi sighed countless times about how right she was doing today!
Of course, this is a later story, so we won’t talk about it here.
After solving Zhang Danniu's problem, the few of them continued to discuss business matters.
Yang Zian replaced a cup of hot tea for Zhou Xiaoxi, and then said:
"Xiaoxi, do you have any other ideas about the inn? We'd better agree on it today and start construction immediately after the New Year. The flowers in the three villages bloom almost at the same time, and the flowering period is too early. If we don't speed up, we may miss the flowering period."
Zhou Xiaoxi was also under great pressure, but fortunately, next year's leap February would be the beginning of spring, around the middle of the first lunar month, so they still had more than a month. As long as they were willing to spend money and had enough craftsmen, it would be no problem to complete part of the construction before the flowers on the trees bloomed.
This place is not like Zhou Xiaoxi's previous life, where she had to worry about formaldehyde. Everything here is pure natural, and people can live here after the smell dissipates for two or three days.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Xiaoxi said:
"Don't worry, Brother Yang. I think there's still enough time. The blooming flowers are the most beautiful, but the falling petals are equally beautiful."
"The petals are falling and the buds are flying, and spring is just coming to an end on earth." Yang Zian couldn't help but murmured.
He was touched and couldn't wait to see the magnificent scenery of next spring!
Fu Qiuyang couldn't help but roll his eyes. Could this man be a fake businessman? He was full of sour Confucianism!
Yang Zian was too lazy to pay attention to Fu Qiuyang. He said excitedly:
"Xiaoxi, you're right. I'm looking forward to it!"
It felt good to be recognized, and Zhou Xiaoxi's brain continued to work quickly, trying to think of other good ideas.
"By the way, Brother Yang, I think we can build some exquisite small houses in the village later. Maybe some nobles will want to stay longer and more comfortably. It is not impossible that they will even want to buy the house."
This is like Zhou Xiaoxi's real estate business in his previous life. If handled properly, it would be a huge profit.
Of course, occupying arable land and destroying the landform and natural environment must be absolutely prohibited. Zhou Xiaoxi didn't want to bring the tragedy of his previous life here!
However, there is a serious hidden danger in selling the house to a noble person. If the other party is unreasonable, it is possible that he will do something to harm the villagers.
Some so-called nobles look down on common people and treat human lives as worthless, so we must be on guard against them.
It seems that this matter needs long-term consideration and should not be implemented in a short period of time.
So Zhou Xiaoxi immediately refuted himself:
"I thought about it, a house can't be built easily. It is said that a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. We country folk can't afford to offend those nobles. We may never live a carefree life again. Let's just forget it!"
After saying this, Zhou Xiaoxi felt a little depressed. Alas, nine out of ten things are not as expected, and there is no other way but to accept them.
Yang Zian felt a little reluctant when he saw Zhou Xiaoxi's reaction. He almost blurted out: "It's okay, I'll protect you", but he finally held back.
He was now just a lowly businessman, powerless and powerless. Was he going to change just for the light in this girl's eyes? Would he enter the vortex that made him so annoyed again and exhaust his energy to fight for a place in the world?
Why? On what basis?
Looking at the petite girl in front of him, Yang Zian's heartbeat suddenly became faster. Something seemed to be about to come out, but he suppressed it again.
The other party is just a child, what on earth am I thinking about!
Fu Qiuyang also understood the meaning of Zhou Xiaoxi's words, and he, who was always flamboyant and unrestrained, fell silent.
Yang Zian might be a prominent figure, but as for me, well, I'm just a ridiculous clown who can do nothing when something happens.
Suddenly the atmosphere became a little depressing, and Zhou Xiaoxi was a little confused. What was going on with everyone?
"Brother Yang, Brother Fu, no business is ever smooth sailing. We have to look forward."
Well, the two grown men looked at each other, both of them not knowing whether to laugh or cry. They actually needed a little girl to enlighten them, how shameful!
Fu Qiuyang took a sip of tea tactically, and an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he immediately said:
"After the inn is built, many of the items inside can be made from our Shangpin Pavilion, right? For example..."
For example, Fu Qiuyang was speechless for a moment, but Zhou Xiaoxi got an inspiration at the right time.
"What a good idea! We can decorate the guest rooms in a rural style, so that the nobles from the city can have a fresh experience and enjoy the wildness of the countryside."
Fu Qiuyang immediately thought of the bamboo vase that he used to hold crocheted flowers last time. Is this what he meant?
"For example, bamboo vases? I have already asked them to be sold in the store, but the response was not very good."
Zhou Xiaoxi stretched out her index finger and shook it left and right. There was nothing she could do as she had a piece of cake in her mouth and hadn't swallowed it yet.
The movements were somewhat funny, but Yang Zian found it entertaining.
He took over the conversation and helped Zhou Xiaoxi out of the predicament.
"A bamboo vase may not look appropriate in your own home, but it looks natural in an inn in the countryside. If the furnishings in the inn are the same as those in the city, guests will probably find it boring."
Zhou Xiaoxi nodded like a chick pecking at rice, with pastry crumbs on the corners of her mouth. Yang Zian subconsciously wanted to reach out and wipe them off.
As a result, Zhang Da Nv reacted faster than him. She immediately took out a clean handkerchief to wipe Zhou Xiaoxi, even her fingers were not spared.
Yang Zian moved his fingers awkwardly...
After taking a sip of tea and clearing his throat, Zhou Xiaoxi finally spoke again and added:
"That's what I mean. By the way, Brother Fu, I have another idea I want to tell you. I found that we are not used to using sheets and quilts, and it is very troublesome to take apart and wash the bedding. Can we launch a four-piece bedding set?"
This question was beyond the scope of the syllabus. Not only Fu Qiuyang, but also Yang Zian was confused.
"What is a four-piece bedding set?"
