As the rain of autumn fell, Hanzhou walked into the rainy season. The streets had also become more spa.r.s.e, even the Old Street that had pretty good popularity had also gone down. Uninterrupted by the rain, Su Tao was leading his three disciples to practice the Pulse Art, with Zhao Jian being the most outstanding one amongst the three. Ever since Su Tao showed off how he shot needles, Zhao Jian was in complete admiration of him. Every day, Zhao Jian would spend a significant amount of time and energy practicing acupuncture in hopes that he could reach Su Tao's realm.
When they finished practicing the Pulse Art, Cai Yan walked over with a few hot towels while sourly staring at Su Tao., "Strengthening your body even when it's raining, can't you do it inside? Why do you have to get wet in the rain, what if you're sick?"
w.a.n.g Peng grabbed onto the edge of the towel, but because it was too hot, he bounced it between his hand and smiled. "That's because you have no idea of Master's good intentions. He's trying to advertise to attract the attention of others. Don't see how it might seem useless, who knows, there might be a day where people would come to watch us!"
Su Tao felt that the mind of this third disciple of his was pretty good. Although he was inferior in terms of medical skills when compared to Xiao Jingjing, he was blessed with a quick mind and could guess his own thoughts. Wiping the rain on his face, Su Tao said, "The tourism attraction project will start soon, and in about a year from now, this will become one of Hanzhou's attractions. We're doing that so that those outsides of Hanzhou will know about our Three Flavour Hall, and it can also attract more tourists, spreading the Three Flavour Hall's spirit throughout the country."
Looking at Su Tao, Xiao Jingjing's eyes shone. Despite Su Tao's young age, his words contained the grace of a grandmaster.
Cai Yan rolled her eyes, sourly. "Why don't we just be realistic and focus on our work daily. Although we have more workforce in the Three Flavour Hall, our customers are also increasing. Some customers left because we were too busy, so I need to remind all of you to work faster. Especially w.a.n.g Peng, don't play on your phone the moment you have time!"
With a bitter expression, w.a.n.g Peng said, "Big Sister Cai, aren't you trying to squeeze our cheap labor force dry? I have to date too, so I have to relax occasionally."
Shaking her finger, Cai Yan responded, "Firstly, you don't have a girlfriend right now. If there's a girl that takes a fancy of you one day, I will consider giving you time for that. Secondly, your hard work isn't cheap. The standard of a doctor in Jianghuai Hospital is around ¥5,000 a month, and you're only an apprentice right now. Yet, you're taking ¥4,000 every month. We're even providing the meals and lodging, and I'm certain that aside from the Three Flavour Hall, you won't find such treatment elsewhere."
Once Cai Yan brought out the imposing manner of a housekeeper, w.a.n.g Peng could only pout and helplessly sighed.
Su Tao did not interfere in the operation, since he had left it all to Cai Yan. It was pretty good with Cai Yan's help. Although the Three Flavour Hall was just a small business, it still required strict management. Even though Cai Yan was willing to play the villain, she's also giving some leeway to him, which made Su Tao give Cai Yan an inward thumbs-up.
When his disciples entered the dining room, Cai Yan then looked at Su Tao and unhappily said, "According to the current development of the Three Flavour Hall, the current scale is insufficient. Not only do we lack in terms of manpower, but we also need to expand our shop front."
Knitting his brows, Su Tao responded, "The neighbors are all old inhabitants, they have their own business, and I'm afraid that they won't let it go so easily, right?"
Cai Yan was stunned, before she answered, "I'm preparing to demolish the Emerald Jade Brook!"
Su Tao was astonished by her words and said, "You have to think about it clearly; that was something that Uncle Cai has left for you!"
