Everyone looked at each other, and then their eyes became more interested. She was indeed as beautiful as the rumors said. It was not known whether she had a strong personality or not, but she was indeed a little different from those they had seen.
That look, that look was clearly filled with contempt!
Interesting, really interesting!
They didn't leave, but waited outside, and took the opportunity to look at the newly built building.
Judging from the structure of this house, it is impossible for people to live in it. Could it be that this is the new business of the eldest daughter of the Hua family? I will ask someone to find out later!
Just because Hua Zhi could remain calm doesn't mean others could. Several maids were so nervous that their hearts were about to burst. Nian Qiu, who was walking behind, immediately closed the courtyard door, as if that would make them safer. Although they brought four guards, the other side had more people!
Dongzi came forward to ask for instructions, "Big Miss, please don't go out. I will go back and call some people over."
Although he said he was going to call some people, Dongzi was determined to call Mr. Wang. With Mr. Wang's ability, these people couldn't get close to him!
"No need to do that." Hua Zhi looked up at the small building. It had an ancient style and was built entirely of wood. She really liked it. "Just let them see it if they like. If they see it too much, they will lose interest. Only if I cover it up will they be interested."
Dongzi didn't dare to disobey the order, but he was worried that the men's fierce waves would scare the girl. He was so anxious that he wanted to go out and die with them.

A group of people walked into the small building, and all they saw was green. There was a neatly maintained green plant every three or five steps. The ground was covered with wooden boards. On both sides were private spaces separated by screens. There were some rattan chairs in the public space. There was a bookshelf on the side which was empty at the moment, and on the other side were a chessboard and two chess boxes. Further in was a small table with four rattan chairs. If you meet acquaintances, you can have a couple of glasses of wine there and chat.
At first glance, this is an extremely relaxed atmosphere. Even if you don't eat, you will feel comfortable just sitting here.
And this is exactly the feeling Hua Zhi wants, just like the high-end clubs she has been to, their stuff is not necessarily that good but can be sold at sky-high prices because they create a good atmosphere that makes people willing to pay big money.
It's the same with her.
Like the first floor, the second floor is also filled with green plants, but it is different from the first floor in that it is full of private rooms and does not have such a relaxed atmosphere. However, the private rooms are not enclosed as they do not have doors, only bead curtains.
This is a place to eat, and Hua Zhi doesn't want anything to happen, so this semi-public place is most suitable.
A small space has been separated out in the inner part, and people will be invited to play music here. Any musical instrument with artistic conception, such as the pipa, guzheng, or guqin, can be used.
The other people who came with him had their eyes wide open, and seeing their reactions, Du Cheng felt a slight sense of pride in his heart, but what he cared about most was still the attitude of the eldest girl. He had heard the eldest girl's description, and it was also with the drawings drawn by the eldest girl that he used to turn this place into what it is now, bit by bit. Although he thought it was good no matter how he looked at it, he didn't know if it would be acceptable to the eldest girl.
"It's better than I expected. Thank you for your hard work, Du Cheng."
Du Cheng felt relieved, and his body suddenly felt so light that it seemed to float up. "It won't be hard for you, little one."
Hua Zhi nodded gently, "How long will it take to make something custom-made?"
"I just asked yesterday, and it will take about six days."
"Okay, let's get everything else ready. Do you want to go pick out the kitchen stuff yourself?"
Fu Dong bit his lip and nodded.
"No matter the date, we will officially open in half a month."
"yes."
The people waiting outside were getting a little impatient. Someone was yelling, "Why haven't they come out yet? I don't want to wait any longer."
"You make it sound like someone asked you to wait."
"That's right, you should leave quickly. I won't see you off."
The person who spoke first rolled his eyes in an inelegant manner and lay down on the horse's back without moving. He had not slept all night and had just rushed over from the Jinsi Tower when he received the news in the morning without having time to eat. He was almost asleep after waiting for such a long time.
"I think I heard some noise..."
The man who was about to fall asleep immediately sat up and looked at the closed courtyard door. Sure enough, the door was opened after a while, and a woman in white... No, this one is a maid. The next one is also a maid, followed by an old maid. He yawned impatiently, and when he looked over again, the woman in white with skin as white as snow had already boarded the carriage. He subconsciously shouted, "Miss Hua..."
Hua Zhi felt a chill on her back, her mind filled with images of the Japanese soldiers chasing after her and calling her Miss Hua. She stood up straight in the carriage and looked at the group of men who had come to watch her.
They are born winners in life, born with a silver spoon in their mouths. When they were young, they squandered money and did all kinds of ridiculous things. After they gradually came to their senses, their families arranged for them to enter the official career, and they moved into the center of power step by step, holding enormous power and surpassing many people.
It is because power is passed down from generation to generation in the hands of people like them that a dynasty becomes weaker and weaker with each passing generation, and can only last for a few hundred years at most.
The same will probably happen in the Daqing Dynasty.
Just when everyone thought she was about to lose her temper, she lifted the curtain and entered the carriage.
When the carriage had gone far away, the men in the carriage were still standing there, wondering what the young lady's eyes meant and why they felt so uncomfortable when they looked at her.
After looking at each other, the man who called Hua Girl shrugged his shoulders. Now that he had seen the person, he should go back to sleep.
Wow, that’s really exciting!
As soon as Hua Zhi got home, she took Fu Dong to the study. "I have been asking you to think of multiple ways to cook one ingredient for this shop. Are you sure?"
Fu Dong nodded and shook her head, "I think it's fine when I do it at home, but if I use this to support a shop, I'm not sure."
"I understand your concerns. Don't worry, I will be there with you for a while."
Fu Dong waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, I can do it. There is still half a month left, I will definitely be able to do it."
Hua Zhi sat down and motioned Fu Dong to sit opposite her. "I have to go. I'll be relieved when you get used to it and can handle any new ingredients that others bring out."
Looking at the maid who was like a little white rabbit, Hua Zhi wished she could share half of her temperament with her. "How far do you want to go? Even if I give you a flower now, you have to be able to make twelve dishes with this flower. How far do you think you are from this goal now?"
Fu Dong bit her lip and thought for a while, then she looked a little disappointed. "I can only think of seven, including snacks."
"So you still have a lot of room for improvement, but you won't have the opportunity to do that if you stay with me. You can only improve by going there."
"I understand. I will go."
PS: The outline is smooth, but the outline cannot be used as the main text. A sentence can be revised repeatedly, and the same event can be written in many ways. I often write like this and then delete and rewrite it if I feel it is not right. I don’t write only two chapters a day. You can’t imagine how many words I write and revise. I don’t complain, this is my interest, I want to write well, and I don’t allow myself to forget that I write novels because I like it.
