Chapter 305: What’s the New Shop’s Name?

Everyone discussed spiritedly. The storm quickly dispersed and the streets returned to their calmness. Before long, an old woman, along with her son and daughter-in-law, led a boy with plaits through the street toward the government.

Someone asked them with experience, “Are you bringing Xiao Tong to the government to see the Kind Doctor?”

The old woman was supported by her son and laughed. Her eyes were slit as she said, “That’s right. My grandson was naughty yesterday and fell off the bed. There’s a small bump on his forehead, so we’re bringing him to see the Kind Doctor today…”

The city was still prosperous and happy.

Someone laughed. “Kind Doctors indeed benefit our Yuan City. Nowadays, any child in the city can be treated by Kind Doctors. It was even set up by the government. Don’t worry…”

“That’s right. Now, even orphans and wanderers can seek medical help.”

“Kind Doctors are really the greatest contributors to our Yuan City…”

The child who stepped on a sticky puddle and looked straight at an eyeball just now wailed and became shocked. Not long after, he felt hot and cried miserably in his mother’s arms.

His mother hurriedly hugged the child in her arms and carried him to the government to line up and see the Kind Doctor.

…

Ye Lulu planned the renovation of the new shop in her heart and discussed it with Guan Chibei. The two of them left for the city and spent a lot of money to hire the best builder to look at the small building by the river.

The new shop that they had bought.

They invited the builder inside to walk around the building. Ye Lulu asked him what places needed to be reinforced in order to be foolproof. The builder was indeed skilled. He picked out a few spots and told Ye Lulu.

Ye Lulu did not save money and bought the most expensive materials to let the builder reinforce them.

Just like that, twenty out of the fifty taels of silver were spent. Twenty taels of silver could be said to be a sky-high price, but Ye Lulu spent it without even blinking. The most important thing was the foundation. Spending money here was worth it.

For the remaining thirty taels, Ye Lulu planned the renovations of the building herself. After knowing what she wanted, she instructed the builder and the workers how she wanted it to be done.

After hearing her words, the workers looked surprised, and the builder looked thoughtful.

This kind of design… was very novel. They had never heard of it before, but when they thought about it carefully, they could not think of anything that was not possible. It seemed like there was no problem.

As Ye Lulu was the employer, the group of workers didn’t say anything and followed the instructions of the builder to start renovating the building.

A tall silver plaque was hanging in front of the door. Not only was there one at the front door, but there was also another at the door in front of the open building on the second floor.

As for what to name the new shop…

Ye Lulu and Guan Chibei discussed seriously.

“Shall we call it ‘Linhe Small Restaurant’?” Since it was by the river, Ye Lulu wanted it to be simple yet elegant. She asked Guan Chibei.

Guan Chibei’s eyes were dark. “There’s nothing wrong with that. Or perhaps ‘Linhe Building’? This building has four floors, so it can be considered a building.”

“Linhe Building… sounds quite good.”

After Ye Lulu said that, she thought of something else and asked, “Why don’t we call it ‘Wei Lou’? As the poem goes, Wei Lou is a hundred feet tall and its hands can pluck the stars. It doesn’t dare to speak loudly because it’s afraid of startling the people from the heavens. Although using this ‘Wei Lou’ directly seems a little rash, it’s wonderful and easy to remember. Furthermore, our shop was dilapidated before. Everyone felt that it was dangerous. Calling it ‘Wei Lou’ directly seems to be a form of fun and teasing.”

Guan Chibei’s eyes darkened. “What poem is this? You composed it?”
