    However, when Shu Yu calcted all the expenses before the opening of the restaurant, the olddy and Madam Ruan were stunned.


    They had already spent over a hundred taels of silver before the shop opened for business.


    This money…Where did all the money go? Why did they not know that they had handled such arge sum of money?


    “The main ones are the mule carriage, the decoration of the shop, and the cloth.”


    The biggest thing was the fabric. The fabric that Shu Yu bought was all good. If it was too bad, those madams and youngdies would not be interested at all.


    She had several rolls of good silk from thergest silk store in the county.


    However, these materials were enough for some time. She did not need to spend money in this area for the time being.


    “So, we won’t need to spend a lot of money next. It’s mainly onbor. We still don’t have enough clothes in our shop. I still have to teach Sister how to put on makeup, so Mother is the only one who can make clothes. It’s toote, so I thought of hiring two people.”


    Recruiting?


    Naturally, this method was to recruit people with good craftsmanship.


    Shu Yu saw that Madam Ruan wanted to say something but hesitated as if she had something to say, so she asked,” Is there someone in your heart?”


    Madam Ruan nced at her mother-inw, who red at her. “If you want to talk, then talk. Why are you looking at me?


    Madam Ruan quickly retracted her gaze and said softly, ‘Yu, Mother knows someone who can make clothes quickly and exquisitely. She’s also a good person. When I was young, I wasn’t good at making clothes, so I was…When the Ruan family scolded me, she was the one who secretly told me the technique.”


    Shu Yu could tell. “So, she’s from the Ruan Family Vige?”


    “Yes.” This was also the reason why Madam Ruan hesitated. “Xiang’s life wasn’t good. She married someone when she was young, but the other party passed away a few yearster. Her inws despised her for giving birth to a daughter and chased her out with her daughter. When she returned to her parent’s home, they were unhappy and refused to let her go home. After that, she found a run-down house in the Ruan Family Vige. The vige chief asked her for some rent and stayed there.”


    Madam Ruan was three years older than Xiang, and Xiang got marriedter than her, so her daughter was one year younger than Shu Yu.


    The mother and daughter depended on each other for survival. They usually embroidered some handkerchiefs to make a living.


    Xiang was good at making clothes, and she was a nice person, which was why Madam Ruan rmended her.


    The olddy snorted. “The people of the Ruan Family Vige are all bad. If your family finds out that our family has opened a shop, they mighte and take advantage of us again.”


    “I…” Madam Ruan did not dare to refute. The things her family had done made her unable to lift her head for the rest of her life.


    However, Shu Yu’s hand under the table gently tugged at her. Madam Ruan looked up and heard her say, “Sure, but we still have to see how good her craftsmanship is and what her character is like.” If there’s no problem, we’ll recruit her. As for the Ruan Family Vige…We will find out sooner orter. Not only them, but we also have to be prepared for others toe. No matter what, we can help those who are good to us if we can. If we don’t agree, then we’ll fight them out. There’s no room for negotiation.”


    The olddy nodded. “Yes, let’s do that.”


    Madam Ruan’s face shed with joy. “Then, I’ll go to the Ruan Family Vige another day and tell Xiang.”


    “Then let’s do it.”


    Other than that, Shu Yu wanted to recruit an embroiderydy..
