Chapter 101: Success Depends on Human Effort (Please add to collection)

There was no helping it; the entire society was like this. The capital would likely be even more severe, after all, this was the feet of the Son of Heaven. Everyone would feel proud to be a resident of the Imperial City. That innate, bone-deep arrogance was not something that could be changed overnight.

Yun Xi smiled. "Brother Yunlu, I understand your concerns perfectly. It's just that even if we cannot establish contact with those great families, we will always find one. With so much land around the capital, we will surely find a piece. Besides, if we cannot find any for the time being, we can transport them from Luohua City; the journey isn't that far anyway."

Ru Meng also laughed along. "Yes, Xi'er is right. Don't be fooled by those people's pretensions of being noble and aloof; they can't survive without money either. Besides, those families might be running all sorts of businesses; it's just that we have no way of knowing yet. Once we have established a firm foothold in the capital, obtaining the leasing rights for that land shouldn't be too difficult."

Fu Sheng nodded. "Indeed, success depends on human effort. We can't just stop moving forward because of a little difficulty like this. Opening the Yueman Restaurant in the capital is the goal for all of us."

Elder Meng nodded. "It is good that you have all thought of this. Money will not be an issue; over these years, Yueman Restaurant has accumulated quite a bit of assets, so using them as initial startup capital is perfectly fine."

Elder Meng was only responsible for the funds and the accounts; he was powerless regarding other matters. He could only watch this group of hot-blooded youths discussing things so passionately and felt an urge to interject with a reminder.

He also knew Yun Xi's capabilities. Despite being the youngest among them, she was the one with the most ideas. Since she had long planned to establish the Yueman Restaurant in the capital, she must have already thought of all the countermeasures.

Seeing everyone looking so confident, Yun Xi spoke up, "Since that is the case, now that the new Emperor has ascended the throne, there are many preferential conditions. We should take advantage of this opportunity to develop the Yueman Restaurant in the capital. Although land cannot be leased for the time being, we can still find people to arrange everything else ourselves. For example, orchid mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and so on."

Orchid mushrooms were the foundation and the source of Yueman Restaurant's prosperity, so they had to be prioritized no matter when. Furthermore, through years of cultivation, Yun Xi had bred many more fungal species. She now possessed quite a variety of fungi; although they were not as numerous as modern varieties, they were quite rare in this era of material scarcity.

Fu Sheng nodded. "I've thought of that. Xi'er, I have already had people begin constructing the rooms for growing orchid mushrooms. Once you arrive in the capital, the planting can begin. As for the initial planting staff, I plan to mobilize people from other locations first; after all, training new people would take too long."

"Fu Sheng's thinking is so thorough, I admire you! But if it's like this, it seems we have nothing left to do!"

Ru Meng said with a laugh, but she was speaking the truth in everyone's hearts. Fu Sheng had prepared all the preliminary matters; everything was just waiting for the shop to be found so they could begin operations.

Fu Sheng smiled, his young face appearing exceptionally relaxed. He had been busy working around Yun Xi all these years; although it was sometimes exhausting, he felt it was all worth it. Although Yun Xi was young, she knew so much and was so mentally mature that sometimes he even suspected she wasn't a child at all, but rather an adult wearing the guise of a child.
