Chapter 1004 Are you willing to run it?
Everyone chatted in the hall for a long time before returning to their respective courtyards to rest.
Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing returned to Yaoguang Pavilion, her courtyard in the General's Mansion. The two lay on the bed and chatted for a while, until finally Ouyang Yunyao fell into a deep sleep in Chu Chenjing's arms.
A peaceful night passed, and dawn broke in the blink of an eye.
The next morning, Ouyang Yunyao prepared to take her two maids, Xiao Lü and Mei'er, and her second brother, Ouyang Yunxiang, to see the shop they had just opened in the border town.
She had already discussed today's arrangements with Chu Chenjing last night, but since Chu Chenjing was going to accompany the Crown Prince and her father, General Ouyang, on an inspection tour outside the city this morning to finalize some matters, he couldn't go with her.
After breakfast, before leaving the hospital, Chu Chenjing still worriedly reminded Ouyang Yunyao: "Yaoyao, you and your second brother are going to look at the shops today. Don't tire yourself out. Just pick one or two to look at. Anyway, we'll come back in a few days."
Ouyang Yunyao looked at him with bright eyes and nodded, "Okay! Okay! You go ahead and get busy, my second brother and I will be back around noon." Ouyang Yunyao smiled and nudged him.
After seeing Chu Chenjing off, not long after, Ouyang Yunyao and her second brother Ouyang Yunxiang rode in a carriage out of the General's Mansion and headed out onto the street.
She and her second brother bought three new shops in the border town. Together with the expansion of Ouyang Yunxiang's original two shops, they renovated a total of five shops. Her second brother finished all the renovations and opened the shops in the past few days.
Because they bought the shops when they came last time, all five of their shops are in very good locations, right on the busiest street in the border town.
The busiest street in the border town is Middle Street, followed by Side Street. These two streets intersect, forming a crossroads. The crossroads area is the widest and most bustling. They have their largest shop located at the intersection of the two streets of that crossroads.
Besides Zhongjie and Bianjie, there are no other main streets in the border town, only some small streets and alleys.
The Crown Prince and Prince Jing, among others, had already discussed that if border trade between the Western Chu Kingdom and the Northern Yue Kingdom could be established in the future, and the border town became lively and prosperous, they would expand two more main streets. However, that was a matter for later.
Ouyang Yunyao and her second brother's five shops are not only in good locations, but their new shops are now considered quite large in this border town.
The first restaurant was modeled after the popular hot pot restaurant that Ouyang Yunyao opened in Kyoto. They thought that doing hot pot in the cold north would definitely make the business even better.
The second business was in medicinal herbs. In addition to the abundance of medicinal herbs from their maternal grandfather's Medicine King Valley, they also cultivated many high-quality medicinal herbs in Ouyang Yunyao's space. Moreover, under the irrigation of spiritual spring water, those herbs grew quickly and well, and their medicinal effects were even better.
There's another shop that sells fabrics, which is Ouyang Yunyao's second brother's old business. She's also planning to design her own clothing styles and add all kinds of ready-made clothes in the future. She can use the computer in her space to cheat.
The other shop is a grain shop. Ouyang Yunyao not only has too much grain in her space, but she also has a lot of modern-made tube noodles. She can try to run a business here. Her second brother has already set them up for sale in their grain shop.
They rode in their carriage, swaying and looking around. Before long, their carriage arrived at the main street in front of their grain shop.
Ouyang Yunyao lifted the carriage curtain and was surprised to see a long queue forming in front of the grain shop where they had just opened their doors.
Ouyang Yunyao looked at her second brother with a puzzled expression. "Second brother, what's going on? Why are we in a queue?" She wondered to herself, "Is there a food shortage in the border town? But how come I didn't know that?"
Ouyang Yunxiang smiled broadly: "Yao'er, this is all thanks to you! I never expected that those rolls of dried noodles you gave us would sell so well."
"Oh, you're buying noodles?" Ouyang Yunyao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded knowingly and said smugly, "Of course, these noodles can be stored for a long time and are convenient to eat."
These days, rolled noodles like this can't be produced yet. If you want to eat noodles, you have to knead the dough and roll it out yourself. Ha! No wonder her noodles sell so well.
Ouyang Yunxiang added, "Moreover, following your suggestion, I held a 'buy three rolls of noodles, get one free' promotion for the first three days of opening, and look, even more people came."
Hearing what Ouyang Yunxiang said, she thought to herself, "My second brother really has a lot of business ideas." She gave her second brother a thumbs up and said, "Second brother, you're awesome."
"Shall we get off?" Xiao Lü asked.
Seeing the crowd, Ouyang Yunyao said, "We're not getting off." Then she looked at her second brother and said, "Second brother, there are too many people here. It's getting late. Let's go to the next place!"
"Alright! Let's go to the jewelry shop!" Ouyang Yunxiang said, then instructed the driver to drive towards the crossroads.
The grain shop wasn't far from here; in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, their carriage had already arrived at the intersection of the two streets—the crossroads of the two main streets.
They have the largest shop at this crossroads. This largest shop, which is also the largest shop in the entire border town, is called Yunyang Jewelry Shop.
Jewelry making is Ouyang Yunxiang's forte and most profitable business, and now with Ouyang Yunyao as his partner, it's like adding wings to a tiger.
Because Ouyang Yunyao's space was overflowing with gold, and she even took out an advanced jewelry-making machine from her space and gave it to her second brother.
Previously in Kyoto, his second brother had already made a lot of new jewelry, and their jewelry was already very popular in Kyoto.
Not only that, the gems in their shop are also the best; those were many gems that Ouyang Yunyao bought in the Southern Chu Kingdom and put into her spatial storage.
Moreover, their gem-polishing machines are unmatched; their gems are polished to a high shine.
The jewelry they sell in this city was designed by her second brother based on the local people's preferences.
Seeing that people were already going in and out of the jewelry shop, Ouyang Yunyao asked, "Second Brother, how are your jewelry designs selling here?"
"Yao'er, people in the border town used to only sell low-end jewelry, but I didn't expect that high-end goods would sell so well this time. We only opened the day before yesterday, and the income these past two days has been excellent!"
He continued, "Now it seems there's another point: merchants from the Northern Yue Kingdom have started arriving one after another."
"Second brother, it seems like this business won't be bad!"
"Yao'er, I have another idea. We could open an inn," Ouyang Yunxiang said, sharing his thoughts.
Ouyang Yunyao's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. "Feasible!" Then, as if remembering something, she looked at her second brother and asked, "Second brother, if we were to open a flight route from Kyoto to Biancheng, would you be willing to run it?"
