The beauty of the lady

Chapter 30
"That's good." Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, "After all, I got involved."

The aunt and nephew talked for a long time, until the moon was in the middle of the sky, and Xuan Shaoling bid farewell. Before leaving, he also gave her some money, but was rejected by Mrs. Zhao. Xuan Shaoling also knew that this Because of her aunt's temperament, she no longer persisted, and then she said goodbye and left, but before she left, she secretly left a few hidden guards to protect Mrs. Zhao, which Mrs. Zhao naturally didn't know.

In fact, he had the news of his aunt two years ago, but it was the first time it appeared, not for anything else, just because the aunt had her own pride. In the past, if he appeared to help, the aunt would not accept it.

After Xuan Shaoling left, she sat quietly for a long time, her face was tired, and then she lay down and fell asleep.

Since she was a child, her mother never taught her how to survive in the inner house. Most of what she taught her was the way of life. She knew very little about the dirty things in the inner house. The founding father of the country, and a filial queen, was broken as the Duke's Mansion, and the men in the Duke's Mansion never said that they would take concubines, otherwise they would be expelled from the family, so naturally there would be no such inner house Like her, my mother has a masculine mind, but after all, she can't compete with those flowery and beautiful relatives, pretty girls.

Even if she wants to teach her daughter now, she is helpless.

After this sleep, Zhou Mei's whole body felt comfortable. She opened her eyes and looked at the gray sky outside. She fell asleep for a while, then dressed, washed and went downstairs.

Next week, Zhou Zhuang and Zhou Yuzhu had already woken up. At this time, there was a bowl of hot porridge, two fried dough sticks, a plate of dried radish, and an egg on the table.

Seeing Zhou Mei going downstairs, Wednesday Zhuang greeted her with a smile: "Sister Mei, hurry up and eat, this is bought by shopkeeper Chen."

Zhou Mei smiled at Old Man Chen and smiled slightly, then sat down and began to eat.

"Uncle, are you going back today?" Zhou Mei asked.

"Go back, only the mother-in-law is left in the two families. Your father and I are not at ease. If you have something to do, you are busy in the city. I will go back and take care of it." Zhou Yuzhu laughed.

"Oh, dad, when uncle returns, go outside and buy some snacks and chestnut candies for uncle to take back to Zhou Dun."

Zhou Zhuang smiled and nodded: "I've already bought this, so don't worry."

Wanting to compare this incident, he still felt guilty about the pork skin jelly, wondering if it could be done.

After Zhou Mei had breakfast, Zhou Yuzhu got up and prepared to go back. After the father and daughter sent him away, Zhou Mei walked back.

"Grandpa Chen, which is the best restaurant in this city?" Zhou Mei asked with a smile standing in front of the counter.

Father Chen raised his head, looked at the very cute Zhou Mei, and didn't ask her why she asked or what was the matter. He stroked his beard and smiled, "Of course it's Cyclamen. I heard that their boss is a nobleman in the capital. There are Xiankeju shops in every state capital."

"Thank you, Grandpa Chen." After speaking, he took out fifty copper coins from his arms and put them on the counter, "Grandpa Chen, we have to stay for another night."

"Understood." Father Chen accepted the copper coin with a smile, lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the abacus.

Afterwards, Zhou Mei and Wednesday Zhuang went out to Zhongxin Street.

"Father, when we arrive at Xiankeju in a while, it's up to you to talk about it. We won't be too wordy about the rest. After they taste it, we'll bite down on the price. It's 200 taels, not a penny less. You and the shopkeeper He emphasized that we are the only part of the Great Yan Dynasty, if they don’t want it, we will give it to another family, and we can’t lose a penny, and we want cash, or scattered money.”

"Why?" Zhou Zhuang was puzzled, with so much money, he would feel very uneasy.

"Go to the bank to exchange the bank notes into cash. They will charge an extra tax of 100 taels for [-] taels, which is not worthwhile. Besides, we have to rent a shop in Fucheng for the past two days. It is too big to give change."

Zhou Zhuang was shocked, she hadn't talked about it yet, she had thought about it so much, what if the negotiation failed, what should she do?
"Father, if you lose your momentum first, even if the business is negotiated, we will be lowered by them. Don't worry, we are unique in the world. Don't worry that no one will know the goods, especially if you can make the restaurant bigger. , the vision is even more long-term, don't worry, as long as you insist on the price, I promise, there will be absolutely no problem."

Hearing what his daughter said, although Zhou Zhuang was a little dubious in his heart, he was much more at ease than before.

It's easy to inquire about Xiankeju. In fact, even if you don't need to inquire, you just need to find the best restaurant on Zhongxin Street.

It was still morning at this time, and there were only young men inside and outside the door making preparations to welcome guests.

One of them saw Zhou Mei's father and daughter coming in, smiled and said, "Excuse me, sir, our restaurant opened at si o'clock in the morning."

"My little brother, our father and daughter are not here to eat, but want to meet the shopkeeper of your store." Wednesday Zhuang said with a smile, but the smile was a little reserved.

At home, I can't wait to save some food and money for Mrs. Zhao, not to mention going out to eat, these two days have exceeded his expectations, and the money spent is comparable to his one month's salary. Dare to come to this Xiankeju for dinner.

"Meet our shopkeeper?" Jobao straightened up, looked at Zhou Zhouzhuang, and said with a smile: "I don't know why the guest officer came to our shopkeeper. Our shopkeeper has not been in a good mood these days. If there is nothing important, Our servants dare not disturb easily."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhuang didn't know if he was really sick or if he refused to see them.

However, when he noticed that the daughter behind him was tugging at the skirt of his shirt, Zhou Zhuang's heart immediately felt at ease.

Didn't they come to Fucheng for this matter? How could they retreat because of such a trivial matter. Not only did they have a sick wife at home, they also had two children who needed him to support.

"There is a business I want to discuss with the shopkeeper of your store, and I would like to ask the younger brother to help me."

Hearing this sentence, the clerk was stunned on the spot for a while, and after looking at Wednesday Zhuang's simple and honest face, he realized that this was not a joke, so he shook the long scarf on his shoulders and said to them: "Two guests, please Sit down, little one, go and give the shopkeeper a message."

After sitting down, Zhou Zhuang looked at the orderly scene around him, and said to Zhou Mei: "Sure enough, it is a restaurant that can be counted. This style is just different."

"Well, the better the restaurant, the higher the chance of our deal being successful." Zhou Mei nodded with a smile.

"Why do you say this?"

"No cost, no profit. This is the first time I have this kind of food, it will definitely have a certain influence. If our family's conditions do not allow it, I would not have thought of selling this dish. Our family boiled that big pot, at least You can make dozens of dishes, but the cost is only five copper coins, and even if you sell one plate for ten copper coins, you can earn a lot of money.”
