Chapter 165 I have to rely on myself!
"Who said they were going to marry you?" Su Mei glared at Rong Song.

Rong Song smiled coquettishly: "Anyway, the whole capital knows that you are mine, so besides marrying me, who else can you marry?"

"Then can I not get married?" Su Mei couldn't see his arrogance.

Rong Song couldn't stop laughing: "No, I have to marry. If you don't marry, then I won't marry. Meier, don't you think we are a match made in heaven..."

Xu Yongqian walked further and further away, until he could no longer hear the conversation between the two behind him.

The moment he walked out of the Su residence, he exhaled a foul breath, feeling extremely heavy.

He thought that Su Mei would be moved when she knew that he was going to get married, but who knew that she was with Rong Song a long time ago, which made his behavior today extremely ridiculous.

Forget it, since Su Mei followed Rong Song, why should he be obsessed with Su Mei?Anyway, he doesn't like Su Mei either.Originally, she wanted to give them each other a chance, but Su Mei pushed them away by herself, so I can't blame him.

He let go of his thoughts and got into the carriage, but he couldn't help lifting the curtain, watching the gate of the Su residence getting farther and farther away from him...

Rong Song's arrival made Gu Xiyan's trip worthwhile.

She discussed some details with Rong Song, and Rong Song told her the whole plan in detail.

Emperor Chengde didn't pay much attention to grain production, so that the current grain supply could only barely maintain a balance between supply and demand. If someone really dared to use grain to make a fuss, it would easily cause a food shortage.

"We not only need to open up the grain storehouse as soon as possible, but also reclaim wasteland and wanton farming." Gu Xiyan recalled carefully, but remembered that Mocheng, about [-] miles away from the capital, could make a fuss.

As the name suggests, Mocheng has been abandoned for many years, the land is barren, and the land is vast and the resources are not abundant.The most worthless land in Dajin is in Mocheng. If grain can be planted in Mocheng, it will definitely bankrupt the conspiracy of Su He and Zhou Xing.

"It is too difficult for the tenants in Mocheng to grow food on a large scale. Mocheng has been drought for many years and cannot grow food. Many tenants are unwilling to do thankless things and change industries." Rong Song thinks this is a good idea. No way.

"It may not mean that we can't grow food. As long as we have someone over there to take care of this matter, give all the tenants enough money, and sign the deeds, many people will return to their old jobs..."

Rong Song vetoed Gu Xiyan's proposal: "No, you gave the money, but you couldn't grow food, so didn't all the money go in for nothing?"

This is a loss-making business and cannot be done.

Gu Xiyan said in a deep voice: "As long as you have someone over there to help us take care of this matter, we won't lose money. But I don't have that much cash in hand, and it's too late for me to come to make money now."

The heavy rain in October also made Mocheng dry and full of nectar. She remembered that Mocheng had been raining intermittently for a month.

In the coming year, spring plowing in Mocheng will not be a problem, and this business will not lose money.

"If you insist, I will definitely find someone trustworthy to do this. Besides, where does the money come from?" Rong Song shook his head and sighed: "Are you sure you want to be so big?"

Twenty thousand silver is not enough, at least one hundred thousand silver is needed for turnover.

"Do it! I'll figure out a way for the money. You just need to find someone. This matter has to be done before mid-October. Don't talk about it, I'll find a way to raise money now." Gu Xiyan got up and said.

"Do you know how much silver you need?" Rong Songyang asked.

"Is 10 taels enough?" Gu Xiyan asked back.

Rong Song was silent.

Okay, he wants to see how she can raise 10 taels in just a few days.

The probability of 10 taels is not enough, but it is definitely Gu Xiyan's ability to raise 10 taels under such tight time.

After thinking about it, if the tenants in Mocheng were to be bought by them, and the land could grow food, how much would they earn?
Thinking of this, he was full of energy.

Gu Xiyan is a capable woman, he thinks she is trustworthy.She is busy raising money, so he will also appoint the steward in Mocheng, and the two will work separately.

If it didn't work, he went to Mocheng himself to take care of this matter.

Gu Xiyan got into the carriage, thinking about how to raise money along the way.

Seeing her solemn expression, Hu Die gave her a suggestion: "Why don't you borrow it from Mr. Zhou. You can tell that Mr. Zhou is not short of money by looking at his demeanor."

Gu Xiyan glanced at her, and replied indifferently: "I borrow money from him when I'm short of money, what do you think he is? He's not a banker, I will find a way myself."

"What do you want between you and me? We're going to get married soon, what belongs to Mr. Zhou is yours." Hu Die winked at Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan looked firm: "No, I have to rely on myself!"

She couldn't just go to Zhou Mu when she had problems, she had to solve the problem by herself, and she had to be able to take care of herself and not become Zhou Mu's burden.

That night Gu Xiyan didn't sleep until Zishi, Qiu Shi felt sorry for her: "Madam, why don't you settle down earlier? Let's continue tomorrow."

"Time is tight, I'll go to sleep after I'm done." Gu Xiyan lowered her head and continued writing the menu.

She has the memory of her previous life and has been with Zhou Mu for so many years.As an emperor, Zhou Mu had tasted a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas, and she had learned a lot from the sidelines.

There is also the long-lost palace secret cookbook found by Qi Zhiyuan in his previous life, which can play the most critical role.

"I plan to hold a two-day auction for dishes. They are all dishes that Jixianglou has never had before. The highest price wins." Gu Xiyan told Qiu Shi about her plan.

Jixianglou has made great achievements in the past two years and has become the number one restaurant in Beijing.The diners who come and go to Jixianglou are all distinguished guests from the capital, and the most important thing is money.

Coupled with the fact that the highest bidder wins, and the rarest is the most expensive, even if it is for the sake of face, there will definitely be many diners participating in the auction.

"How many dishes are you planning to shoot on the first day?" Qiu Shi asked.

"It depends on the situation. Try it first, but I don't know if you can get a good price, so the dishes must be novel and the taste must be unique." Gu Xiyan paused, and then said: "By the way, we need to find good food in advance Toler, to heighten the atmosphere of looting."

In her previous life, Suho had played auctions, and she had also seen Suho looking for babysitters to create an atmosphere of passionate consumption.

Qiu Shi's eyes widened when he heard the words: "Shijiaer?"

"Yeah, I don't know who to look for. It's better to have status. Some status in the capital, so that people can't see that it's a nurse..." Gu Xiyan said, her eyes lit up: "I know who to look for gone."

"Who is the girl going to find?" Qiu Shi was extremely curious.

"You will know tomorrow." Gu Xiyan's beautiful eyes were bent into a crescent shape.

Who else can I ask, of course, let the girls of the Liu family willingly serve her.

Qiu Shi continued to question, but Gu Xiyan took it easy and wrote about forty dishes and production details. She was so busy that she didn't fall asleep until midnight.

Early the next morning, Gu Xiyan went to Zaohui Hall to greet the old lady.

The four girls of the Liu family put on ugly faces when they saw Gu Xiyan. Although Gu Xiyan didn't have enough sleep time, she was full of energy and vigor.

"Grandmother, I want to participate in the food festival held by Jixianglou the day after tomorrow. I heard that there will be a food auction at that time. I am only short of money. Can grandma lend me 3000 taels of silver?" After chatting, Gu Xiyan got to the point.

The old lady's face changed when she heard the words: "3000 taels?!"

What dishes cost 3000 taels, and you don’t need so much silver to eat gold?
