The efficacy of the pill given by Xiao Qi was too miraculous for Shen Yun to explain fully to Mr. Gu.
He only vaguely told him that the dizziness no longer posed a problem.
His wife was a miracle doctor, and with her by his side, there was nothing to fear.
"Hahaha, that's true. Your aunt is also indebted to your wife.
You are truly fortunate to have married her." Influenced by his wife, Mr. Gu was also very fond of Su Xiao Qi.
Moreover, this time they had brought them more lotus root powder, pastries, and also some ancient inscriptions and carvings that he liked.
Although they were not rare items, they were thoughtful.
"Originally, I didn't want to say anything, but since you are going to the capital, you should know that the situation in the capital is currently complex.
Do not easily take sides; the merit of following the dragon is not something everyone can grasp."
This was later, Shen Yun respectfully agreed.
Then he extended an invitation, asking him to attend a banquet at Lizhuang tomorrow.
"Hahaha, with the top scholar achieved, I certainly must go." Mr. Gu, with his wide sleeves, swung them with great pride and laughed heartily.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Yu kept the young couple for lunch and only let them leave after confirming the time for tomorrow.
Su Xiao Qi knew that Shen Yun was well aware of her actions and her background, so she no longer deliberately hid anything from him.
The couple first went to the supermarket, where the renovation of the back courtyard was completed.
A shed had been built overhead, covered with tiles, windows opened on both sides, and a skylight added to provide ample light.
Against the walls stood rows of shelves, fully stocked with goods.
At the entrance were signs indicating the varieties, combining pictures and text.
For example, for meat products, there were drawings of chickens and pigs.
For dried beans and legumes, there were drawings of dried beans.
If they were selling ceramic jars, a jar would be drawn.
In short, the pictures were simple and easy to understand, with clear classifications. Anyone looking to buy something could take a walk inside and essentially find it.
And as per Su Xiao Qi's instructions, each item had a price tag attached.
For instance, yellow soybeans were ten wen per catty, and green beans were twelve wen per catty.
There were also fabrics, with different prices indicated based on patterns and materials.
Everything was clear and transparent, ensuring fair trade.
Customers could walk around themselves, holding the shopping baskets provided by the supermarket, and buy what they wanted without asking anyone.
If there were any questions, they didn't need to worry. A shop assistant stood outside every two rows of shelves, and they could signal them for assistance.
When not needed, they were left to browse without being disturbed.
Furthermore, the supermarket had both male and female assistants. If a female customer had a request, a female assistant would serve them.
Male customers would naturally be served by male assistants.
They all wore the same style of clothing, differing only in color.
The men wore a uniform stone blue, while the women wore lake green.
Each person had an appropriate smile on their face, worked efficiently, and had a friendly demeanor, appearing well-trained.
Su Xiao Qi was very satisfied and quietly gave Zhao Da You, who was watching her from a distance, a thumbs-up.
These things, before she left, she had only given him a proposal document.
It was purely textual, and Zhao Da You's execution ability was truly astonishing; he had actually brought it to fruition.
And the results were excellent.
Su Xiao Qi reckoned that if she had done it herself, it might not have been any better.
Zhao Da You's old face flushed, and he sheepishly scratched his head.
He followed Su Xiao Qi to the back courtyard and quietly told her that he hadn't actually done these things, nor had he trained the people.
"Oh, then who did?" Su Xiao Qi was a little curious.
Among the first batch of employees, some were recruited from outside, and some were from the beggar group.
But at this moment, they were serving in the front, showing no trace of their background or disparities.
From beginning to end, the only face they presented was that of a supermarket service staff.
"Xiao Yi trained them." Zhao Da You explained the whole story.
It turned out that when Su Xiao Qi left, she gave him the supermarket proposal document. He originally intended to maintain the status quo.
He thought of taking good care of the existing supermarket and leaving other operations until the owner returned.
But Xiao Yi accidentally saw the proposal document, and he was immediately excited.
Coupled with the fact that the front courtyard, which had begun renovations when Su Xiao Qi was present, was now completed.
He couldn't wait any longer and took over the task from him, starting the work.
He first gathered Xiao Er, Xiao San Zi, and others, and recruited some people from outside.
He conducted training according to the procedures written by Su Xiao Qi and assessed them after ten days.
A batch of people who were not serious or whose results were unsatisfactory were eliminated.
Then he continued training for three more days, followed by assessment and elimination.
After three such rounds, out of a total of thirty people, only ten were kept.
And the clothing styles that Su Xiao Qi had previously asked Zhao Xiao Zhu and others to make were also ready.
After measuring the dimensions of the five men and five women who were kept, each of them was given a set of clothes.
They were immediately assigned to the supermarket.
After one day of work, the effect was evident.
Everyone was extremely satisfied.
Now, Xiao Yi was still recruiting and training new staff according to the training process provided by Su Xiao Qi.
Because Chen Jin Ji on both sides needed six people, and the grain shop he guarded also needed two people.
A total of eight more people were needed.
"Xiao Yi is doing well." Su Xiao Qi tapped the stone table with her hand. The enthusiastic service attitude of the supermarket staff made her feel very familiar.
It felt like she was back in modern times, walking in a large chain supermarket.
She never expected Xiao Yi to have this hidden skill, which had been stimulated in this way; it was truly a pleasant surprise.
Su Xiao Qi was eager to visit the grain shop guarded by Xiao Yi.
She wanted to discuss her other modernized concepts in her mind with him properly.
However, she and Shen Yun still had to visit Zhao Liu Shun in the back courtyard first.
After all, he was an elder, and he would definitely be present at the banquet tomorrow.
Su Xiao Qi smilingly invited Zhao Da You, asking him to attend the banquet at Lizhuang on time tomorrow.
Since Shen Yun refused to hold a three-day continuous banquet, Su Xiao Qi changed it to one day.
However, a formal banquet would be held in the main hall, hosting their own relatives, elders, and close friends.
As they entered the main courtyard, they heard the clear sound of reading from within.
"Heaven and Earth, Yellow and Black, the Universe and the Great Desolation..."
Su Xiao Qi and Shen Yun exchanged a glance and did not go in to disturb Zhao Liu Shun, smiling as they sat at the nearby stone table to wait.
Only when he stopped did they go to greet him.
"Yun Ge'er, Xiao Qi, you're back. Oh my, the top scholar, Yun Ge'er, you are too accomplished."
Zhao Liu Shun held Shen Yun's shoulder and patted him incessantly, his excitement overflowing, as if he himself had passed the imperial examination.
Although he had known early on that his nephew was capable, he hadn't expected him to be this capable.
He didn't participate for a long time, but when he did, he became the top scholar.
One top scholar, two top scholars, as if they were free and came home in abundance.
Being scholars themselves and often reading together, Zhao Liu Shun admired Shen Yun.
He had been smart since childhood, his brain ten thousand times better than his.
Any book he picked up, after reading it once, it was stored in his heart.
Whereas he was still in a fog, completely confused.
When writing essays, regardless of the topic, as soon as he saw it, his thoughts flowed like a spring; he could break down the topic, open it, and write the essay, which flowed out effortlessly.
And he was still pondering which allusion to use.
Even upon entering the county school, the renowned Great Scholar Mr. Gu had taken a liking to Yun Ge'er at a glance.
If such a person didn't achieve the top rank, then who would?
