Chapter 825 Mo Beihan Arrives Late

Li Daqiang and others came over and were amazed at the food on the table:

"Wow! Is this the dish from the famous Juxianlou in Beijing? It's really delicious!"

"Tsk! You haven't even eaten it yet, how do you know if it tastes good or not?"

"Need I say more? The dishes look so pretty and smell so good, they must taste delicious!"

After the dishes were laid out, Qiao Erhe greeted with a smile:

"Everyone, please sit down and eat! Enjoy the dishes of Juxianlou. After eating, please clean up the shop and go back to rest. We will not be open this afternoon and we have to get up early tomorrow. However, today is the first day of opening and there are discounts, so there are more people. Tomorrow there should be fewer people and you won't have to work so hard."

Li Daqiang disagreed with Qiao Erhe's words:

"I don't think so. Many people didn't buy anything today and didn't even have a chance to come in and take a look. They will definitely come again tomorrow. Those who bought something today and went back after eating the fruits and vegetables we grow will definitely praise them highly. Word of mouth will spread, and more people will definitely come tomorrow."

Qiao Ran smiled when she heard that.

In fact, she also noticed that there were indeed many people who wanted to come in and buy something to try today, but when it was their turn, the shelves were already empty.

"There may indeed be a lot of people coming tomorrow, so everyone should be prepared and have a good rest tonight, as we will be busy tomorrow. But today is the first day after all, so we are a little hectic and the goods are not prepared enough. When we go back in the afternoon, ask everyone to prepare more goods, and bring a few more people to help tomorrow!"

After hearing what Qiao Ran said, everyone felt helpless and excited about having to continue working hard tomorrow.

If they are busy, it means business is good, the supermarket can make more money, and their wages and bonuses will also be higher.

Moreover, if the goods sell well, the villagers can make more money, and their lives will be more fulfilling.

Therefore, they have no complaints about continuing to work hard tomorrow, and they hope to be so busy and tired every day.

Everyone had a delicious lunch, cleaned up the messy shop, and were ready to go back to the village in a carriage.

Just at this moment, Mo Beihan finally arrived.

"Sorry, I am late!"

Seeing that everyone was about to go back, Mo Beihan apologized very embarrassedly.

Qiao Ran was surprised:

"Why are you here? I heard that you and the old prince were summoned to the palace by the emperor. Is there something going on? If you have something to do, you don't have to come. I have already accepted the gifts. Just now, Butler Zhou asked Shopkeeper Chen to send over some food. I was just about to return the lunch box!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect the emperor to summon my grandfather and me to the palace, but made us wait in the side hall for a long time before the emperor ordered us to see him."

He looked at the villagers who were looking at him curiously, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Qiao Ran said to Qiao Dajiang and Zheng Huiniang:

"Dad, Mom, you and the villagers should go back first! I still have some things to discuss with the prince, so I will go back by myself in the evening."

Mo Beihan also bowed to his future father-in-law and mother-in-law apologetically:

"Uncle and aunt, I will ask the guards to bring a horse for Ranran to ride back later. I will also send her back to the village. Don't worry!"

After hearing what he said, Qiao Dajiang and his wife nodded and drove the carriage back with the villagers.

Qiao Ran and Mo Beihan were the only ones left in the empty supermarket. Qiao Ran closed the door, locked it, and went to Juxianlou with Mo Beihan to discuss something.

Now everyone in the capital knows that the two of them are engaged. When they see the two of them walking together, no one is surprised except to admire their beauty.

In the private room of Juxian Building, Mo Beihan poured tea for the two of them and then talked about their visit to the palace today.

"Grandfather was about to return to Northern Frontier, but today the Emperor summoned Grandfather and me to the palace, saying that Grandfather was old and he couldn't bear to let him go back to Northern Frontier to suffer. I am the only heir to the Dingbei Palace, and he didn't want to see me go to the battlefield and get into an accident, which would leave the Dingbei Palace extinct. So, he openly and secretly wanted Grandfather to hand over his military power and retire in the capital."
