Su Hua was calm. Chen Shi was afraid of him and wanted to say something, but he was also afraid that Su Hua would think that he was exaggerating and only knew how to complain.

Chen Xing smiled sweetly and patted her chest. “Second Brother, don’t worry. I’ll supervise my brother for you. If he doesn’t learn and memorize well, I’ll complain to you. When the time comes, you must be stricter and hit his palm.”

After Chen Xing finished speaking, he stuck out his tongue at Chen Shi playfully. Hehe, he took the opportunity to take revenge.

Chen Shi gritted his teeth. Chen Xing!

Su Chong and Zhou Heng laughed.

Su Hua nodded. “Alright, Xiao Xing will watch over him for me. When the time comes, I’ll reward you. If you can supervise your brother’s completion, I’ll give you a Wolf Hair Brush. How about that?”

Chen Xing’s eyes lit up as she nodded repeatedly. “Sure, sure, sure.”

This was really a good job. Chen Xing was overjoyed and made up his mind. “Second Brother, don’t worry. I won’t let you down!”

Chen Shi looked bitter.

Su Chong reached out and patted Chen Shi’s shoulder. “Brother Shi, take care.”

Su Hua was very strict. Although he looked weak, he was very scary when he was angry.

When he taught Chen Shi a lesson, Chen Hu and Madam Qian would leave silently. No one could save Chen Shi. As for Chen Xing, he was determined to study. He was still young and he only taught him how to count first. He loved to learn, so Su Hua was not strict with him.

Chen Shi listened obediently and quietly.

Su Xiaolu and the others giggled. Su Xiaolu ate the sunflower seeds Su Xiaoling peeled for her and smiled.

Ever since she came back from Furongzhou, she hadn’t stopped snacking.

She did not know if she had lost weight or not, but no matter how much she ate, she did not gain much weight.

Su Hua did not gain much weight. He was thin, but not too thin. Only then did he encapsulate the words “weak scholar”.

Su Sanlang and the others came back and sat down.

Chen Hu and Madam Qian nodded at Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao.

Everyone perked up and waited quietly.

Su Sanlang said, “Children, I called you all here today because I have something important to tell you. This matter concerns both our families, so we’ll say it and let you make a decision.”

Su Sanlang slowly explained the entire matter in detail.

Everyone listened quietly and did not ask questions. When Su Sanlang was done, everyone fell into deep thought.

Su Xiaolu thought carefully about whether this matter would work.

If the sauerkraut and pickles became imperial dishes, they would definitely be able to earn a lot of money.

This business was extremely good for Su Chong and Su Hua, who would become officials in the future.

He Hai had given him three options, but there was indeed no need to consider the last option. Just as He Hai had said, Yu Jing Hong had more than a hundred restaurants. If they supplied every restaurant themselves, Chen Hu, Madam Qian, and her parents would not be able to keep up with the demand even if they worked themselves to death.

Therefore, he could only choose the first and second methods.

However, wasn’t 40-60 too much? Wasn’t He Hai too sincere?

Zhou Heng looked at Su Hua with worry in his eyes. He was a little worried that Zhou Zhi was behind this.

Su Hua pondered for a moment and said, “According to Old Master He, if we agree, our families have to go to the capital.”

Su Sanlang nodded grimly. “Yes.”

He was a little worried about going to the capital.

However, he also wanted to give it a try. This business was the dream of the two families. They were satisfied with what they had now, but if they could go further, they would be happy.

Now that the opportunity was in front of him, Su Sanlang wanted to try.

Su Hua could tell that Su Sanlang and the others did not know about Zhou Heng yet, so it would be a lie not to be tempted by such an opportunity.

Su Chong said, “Father, Mother, we’re going to the capital in a few days anyway. Why don’t we go to the capital together to see if what He Hai said is true? We can make a decision then?”

There was no need to agree first. They could go to the capital to take a look and confirm He Hai’s identity before making a decision.

Su Xiaolu also said, “I think Big Brother’s suggestion makes sense.”

After entering the capital, she could use Minggu’s background to investigate He Hai.

Madam Qian looked at Chen Hu and nodded slightly. Chen Hu smiled and said, “Brother, Sister-in-law, I think Chong’s method is feasible. Let’s not take his money first. We’ll talk about money after we confirm that it’s true and that we want to cooperate.”

Su Sanlang nodded thoughtfully. He said, “So which option should we choose?”

Su Hua said, “It’s better to choose the first option. When the time comes, Aunty will continue to research recipes and supply them to Yu Jing Hong. We’ll cooperate for a long time. When the time comes, we’ll be in charge of all the treaties.”

When Su Hua said this, Chen Hu and Madam Qian nodded repeatedly. They were relieved.

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao were also relieved.

Su Hua looked at Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu and did not say anything in the end. If the matter could succeed, he could make another request.

If he really wanted to work with Yu Jing Hong, then he had to have a family member in Yu Jing Hong. The Niu Family had been running the restaurant for decades, so there was no doubt about their ability. Niu Xibao and Niu Xian that Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu married were the first candidates.

There was no hurry. They could discuss this after everything was settled.

Chen Hu said to Su Sanlang, “Brother, Sister-in-law, why don’t we do this? In a few days, your family will enter the capital together and see if He Hai is telling the truth. Our family will stay at home and wait for your news.”

Su Sanlang shook Madam Zhao’s hand. Madam Zhao nodded, and Su Sanlang said, “Alright, let’s do this. Let’s think about it carefully in the next two days. If there are no other changes, we’ll reply to He Hai in three days. If he doesn’t agree, it means that this matter isn’t a good thing. Let’s forget about it.”

If He Hai did not dare to accept their inspection in the capital, he would definitely not agree to this business.

After thinking about it, this was the best solution.

In the face of a huge opportunity, they had to remain calm. They could not blindly agree just because everything was beneficial to them.

True blue will never stain. If He Hai did not have any ulterior motives, it would not be too late to cooperate then.

Chen Hu’s family nodded and had no objections to this arrangement.

Chen Hu said seriously, “Brother, don’t worry. We’ll take good care of everything at home.”

Su Sanlang nodded. “Okay, I’ll have to trouble you guys in the shop.”

Chen Hu and Madam Qian smiled and shook their heads. They were not afraid of hard work.

They only felt their blood boiling. They had endless energy and could run for a bright future for the children and accumulate a rich foundation for their descendants. This bit of hardship was nothing.

After making the decision, Chen Hu and his family went back.

Su Sanlang said to Su Xiaolu and the others, “Then pack up in the next few days. In a few days, our family will enter the capital together. Even if it’s not for business, it’s for you. It’s a long journey. I’m too worried to stay at home. Not long ago, your mother and I were discussing entering the capital. This time, let Father and Mother accompany you.”
