"Sir, have you really decided to do this?" Hongxiu's face was full of worry.

"Well, it's decided. The Zuixian Tower is on the right track. You should be familiar with it after being the shopkeeper these days. You can handle some things. In the days when I'm not here, you can do everything by yourself.

Make a decision, don’t be afraid of making mistakes, but make your mistakes valuable, and make every mistake improve yourself.”

Cao Yi paused and continued: "Originally, we were not worried about others stealing our cooking methods, but now other restaurants that have signed contracts with us in Jiangning City have also learned how to keep it secret when they go to the blacksmith shop to make iron pots.

The work is definitely not as good as ours. Anyone who is interested can find it out. It is estimated that the Shen family or other restaurants will immediately know that the iron pot is the key to cooking. When they get the iron pot, they will think about it and think about it.

Secrets will remain secrets."

"Then they may start a price war. Well... there are more and more restaurants that can cook stir-fries, and they will also come up with new ways to eat and new dishes. Then they may even lower their prices and be better than us.

The price of Xianlou is much lower just to attract our customers, so don’t panic when the time comes!" Cao Yi said while looking at Hong Xiu.

"We still have something that they can't compare to. All our guests who have applied for a VIP card are very sticky and loyal to the brand. Well, that is to say, they have recognized us as Zuixianlou. In the card

We will not move to another restaurant until we run out of money. Moreover, our waiter level and service attitude are far inferior to other restaurants, although there will still be people imitating these two aspects. But our core advantage is that

Taibai Zui and Qinglian Liquor. So far, you have relaxed your mind on this point. I believe that no one will be able to imitate it in a short time. Although the restaurants that have signed contracts with us also have Taibai Zui and Qinglian Liquor,

But overall, our restaurant still has an absolute advantage, and since their business is good, we will get a bigger share," Cao Yi said with a smile.

"Sir, I'm not worried about this. What I'm worried about is that if you go to train alone, you have been cared for since you were a child. When the time comes to go there and there is no one to take care of you, it will be very hard and you will not have a good life." Hongxiu frowned.

Frowning.

"There's nothing to worry about. I went there to train and endure hardships. Do you still want me to go there and enjoy it? It's better to be directly in the house," Cao Yi said with a chuckle.

Then Cao Yi asked Hongxiu to call several other maids over, and in front of everyone, he ordered: "In a few days, I will go to Taibai Villa to stay for a while. During my absence, you must listen to Hongxiu on everything.

Yes, the red sleeves represent me, the young master, do you understand?"

"I understand, young master!" All the maids nodded, expressing their understanding.

"Anyway, you don't have anything to do in Qingyun Pavilion when I'm not here. You can all go to Zuixian Pavilion to help Hong Xiu during this period, and learn while doing it. If you don't understand anything, or want to

Tell Hong Xiu what positions and things you want to try, and she will consider it carefully and arrange positions for you that are suitable for you or that you want to try. Do your work well and improve your own abilities. I hope that when I come back, you will all

There has been obvious progress. Your talents, experience and ability to do things are all your own and will last a lifetime. No one can take them away, so it is always beneficial to learn more. I also seem to see you getting older.

I still can only be a maid, I hope you can seize this opportunity and find a different path in life for yourself."

After that, Cao Yi conducted a special analysis and guidance on each person's personality, expertise, and development potential, so that everyone could clearly understand where they have advantages and can focus on that aspect in the future. Among them, Xiren,

She Yue and Tan Yun were the ones who talked the most. One was because she was the warm-up maid who took care of bathing and dressing, and the other two were because they spent the longest time together in the study. It’s not that Cao Yi was biased towards that one, as they usually had more contact with each other.

The more you understand, the more you can analyze and provide guidance.

"Okay, I'll tell you what you need to say. From now on, if you have anything to do, you should go to Hongxiu. Hongxiu, if you have anything to do, send someone to Taibai Villa to tell Liu Baiqing, and he will tell me." Cao Yi looked at them and said.

The next headache for Cao Yi is how to tell his mother that last time it was delayed for almost a month because of the incident at Zuixian Tower. Now it seems that if he goes to Taibai Villa for training again, it will take at least a month.

, it seems that my mother is still a bit mysterious.

…

"Yi'er, why do you have time to come back and have dinner with your mother today?" Mrs. Gao looked at Cao Yi kindly with a happy smile on her face.

"Uh...Mom, I actually...have something to say to you, but I'm afraid you'll be angry." Cao Yi touched his nose and said with a guilty conscience.

"Do you want to delay going to Jiangning Mansion to go to school again?" Mrs. Gao put down her chopsticks, looked at her son, and said lightly. Everyone said that a child is as good as his mother, and Mrs. Gao knew Cao Yi as soon as she saw Cao Yi's expression and tone.

What did Yi want to say in his heart?

"Mother is indeed very intelligent and resourceful. She immediately knows what the child wants to say?" Cao Yi smiled flatteringly, then took the chopsticks and put them into Mrs. Gao's bowl like a treasure.

It's a pity that Mrs. Gao didn't accept this trick and didn't move. She just stared at Cao Yi and said, "Tell me, what's the reason? As long as what you say is reasonable, my mother will be right. Otherwise, you can go to the house obediently."

Go to school!”

"Uh...Mother...our Cao family has been rivals for generations, right? Since my grandfather was appointed as a military commander in the German army, my father was a military commander in the Later Han Dynasty, the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the Great Yan Dynasty, and later defeated the Later Shu.

, conquered the Northern Han Dynasty, conquered the south of the Yangtze River, and now it is the Northern Expedition to the Liao Kingdom. Moreover, all the eldest brothers are extremely skilled in martial arts and have served as generals. They have just won the reputation of "the Cao family is full of tiger generals". But only when they arrived at Hai'er

, he was just a weak scholar who could not carry his shoulders or lift his hands. So Yi'er thought of spending a few months to go to Taibai Villa outside the city to study martial arts with Liu Baiqing, determined to become a man with both civil and military skills, and then he could serve as a general.

Enter the prime ministership and shine on the lintel of the Cao family."

Cao Yi spoke sincerely, praising his grandfather, father, and eldest brother. He also pointed out that among the Cao family, he was the only weak scholar who was an anomaly and held the family back. He also expressed that he wanted to be both civil and military, both in general and in general.

The lofty goals of the Prime Minister. His words made his mother, Mrs. Gao, a Korean woman, nod her head frequently and she was very happy in her heart.

"Yi'er, if you have lofty goals, my mother will definitely not stop you, but you must ensure that you don't lose your homework. You must gain a reputation for your mother and the Cao family, otherwise our Cao family will really be called a martial arts family.

Alright..." Mrs. Gao said slightly excitedly.

No wonder all the brothers have been practicing martial arts since they were young and inherited their father's legacy. But when I came here, I studied the collection of sages and sages since I was a child and didn't let me practice martial arts. It turns out that there is another reason. Cao Yi felt secretly in his heart and hurriedly promised:

"Don't worry, mother, my child is now recognized as the number one talent in Jiangning. He will definitely not miss out on his homework and will take the exams to gain fame in the future."

"But when it comes to studying at Jiangning Mansion, Mr. Lu... I need my mother's help to explain it for me." When Cao Yi thought of Mr. Lu's sad eyes and nagging words if he postponed his studies at Jiangning Mansion again,

He immediately shuddered and quickly spoke to Mrs. Gao.

"Well, I really want to visit him once in the past few days. I will entrust Yi'er to him and ask him and Magistrate Yang to take good care of you in the future." Mrs. Gao took some food for Cao Yi and said softly.

"Thank you, mother... huh? Mother, why do you say that?" Cao Yi nodded at first, but then he realized that his mother seemed to be leaving him behind, so he quickly turned to the side and asked.

Mrs. Gao put down the chopsticks in her hand and rubbed Cao Yi's cheek with her hands, her eyes full of reluctance: "Mother has been busy taking care of your brothers, sisters and you in the past few years, but she has very little time to spend with your father. Until now, even

Yi'er, you have grown up and have your own ideas. Mother thinks it's time to spend more time with your father and become a wife of the army. In the past few years, he has been fighting all over the country and alone. Mother

Thinking that you still have a few more years of good life, it's time to stay with your father."

"Mother..." Cao Yi originally thought that since he had traveled through time, his family feelings for this body might not be too deep. However, after spending more than a year together day and night, he unknowingly developed feelings for Mrs. Gao.

So deep. At this time, I have already regarded Mrs. Gao as my biological mother in my heart, although this is the fact. Cao Yi also showed his true feelings, and shed a few tears from the corners of his eyes, which made Mrs. Gao also hold Cao Yi's head.

He cried reluctantly.

It took a while before he calmed down, and Cao Yi asked: "Mother, when will you leave to find your father? There were formations on the way..."

Mrs. Gao held Cao Yi's hand and chuckled: "Mother has been exchanging letters with your father since the Mid-Autumn Festival. He has sent a team of soldiers to pick me up, so you don't need to worry about safety on the road. It depends on the time.

, it is estimated that it will arrive in the next few days.”

"Okay, then the child will not go out these days. He will stay with his mother and accompany her well."
