Chapter 96
readx;
After drinking some tea in the farmhouse and resting for a while, the village chief reported to the village chief about the harvest plan for the next few days, and then the group returned to the carriage and hurried to the city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Along the way, Qi Mozhou still didn't say much, Pan Chen went to talk to him, he didn't pay attention to it, asked a few times, and Pan Chen didn't dare to ask more. Thinking that he couldn't hide it anymore when he got to the place anyway, but such a thing along the way was really naΓ―ve.
The journey back to the city seems to be shorter than when he went, Pan Chen knew that this should be a matter of mood, after the carriage stopped, Pan Chen and Qi Mozhou got off the carriage and found that the carriage was parked on Suzaku Street, this street Pan Chen used to come to visit, selling clothes, jewelry, candied fruit and the like, the things that the girls liked, since entering the palace, she really didn't have a chance to come out again, but I didn't expect to come back again today.
Pan Chen's eyes searched left and right for the shops he used to frequent, such as Jinxiu Pavilion, which sold silk and satin clothing, Qibao Zhai, which sold gold and silver jewelry, and Yixiangxuan, which sold rouge gouache...... Every year on her birthday and New Year's Day, the Liu family will take her to see, and buy it for her if there is a suitable one, although it is not a valuable thing to buy, but Pan Chen cannot deny that she has traveled to this era of scarcity of materials, and here on Suzaku Street, she still gains a lot of happiness and satisfaction.
Qi Mozhou glanced at Pan Chen, followed her gaze, and did not speak, Lord Li stepped forward to interrupt Pan Chen's memories, only to see Master Li point out a direction to Pan Chen and let Pan Chen look over:
"Madam, take a look, this is it, the newly built shops of the government, that one is the center of Suzaku Street, the building is three stories high, is Madame still satisfied?"
Pan Chen looked in the direction pointed by Master Li, and really saw an extremely tall building, which was a sudden rise among the other floors of Suzaku Street, from the faΓ§ade to the decoration, all of them were meticulously crafted, and there was a place for a plaque in the center of the second floor, and the visual effect was quite shocking.
Pan Chen felt that he was frightened, and subconsciously leaned in the direction of Qi Mozhou, Qi Mozhou couldn't help but feel funny when he saw her unproductive appearance: "Didn't you want a shop yourself?" Why did you have stage fright? β
After finishing speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the store that was open but had not yet opened, Pan Chen hurriedly followed in small steps, and after entering the door, the previous tension was gone. Get rid of Qi Mozhou, look east, look west, now this building is still empty, there is nothing in it, Lord Li's voice sounds very empty:
"I just finished the work, and the inside has not been properly arranged, if Mrs. has any ideas, you can mention them to me, and I will let the craftsmen do it according to Mrs. wishes."
Pan Chen leaned down from the staircase on the second floor and asked Master Li:
"You mean, I can design it myself?"
Lord Li looked at Qi Mozhou, Qi Mozhou didn't speak, Master Li knew what he meant, and nodded to Pan Chen: "Yes, if Madame has ideas, you can tell me."

After Pan Chen thought about it, he ran up and down to look at it again, and then walked downstairs and said to Master Li: "I'll think about it after I go back, and if I have an idea, let the painter from the Ministry of Engineering draw it." β
"Okay, then the subordinate is waiting for Madame." Master Li's tone was not a little distrustful, Gan Xiang heard from the side that Pan Chen wanted to design it himself, and as a candy lover, Gan Xiang also wanted to express some of his own opinions:
"I think not only the design aspect of the lady has to think about, but also the name, the lady's sugar making process, the types of candy, these are all things to consider."
Pan Chen fully agrees with this idea: "Yes, yes, these also have to be considered, not only to sell sugar pastries, but also to make high-quality pastries by the way, just like moon cakes, forming a kind of buying inertia, such as when gifting relatives and friends, you will think of buying here, and when there are distinguished guests at home, you will also come to buy, and it is limited, if you want to take the high-end route, you have to think of some gimmicks when the time comes, such as ...... The pastry chef and the sugar chef are the imperial chefs from the palace? Or is there some mysterious formula? People will be particularly interested in this veiled thing, anyway, in a word, we must do a good job of publicity at the beginning, let the Department of Culture and Propaganda think of some ways to announce it through official channels, and you can also list this shop as a designated store for tribute...... When you think about it, you feel like there's money to be made. β
After Pan Chen said these words, he found that several men standing in the corridor were a little stunned, Qi Mozhou was the first to react, and smiled at Pan Chen: "You're welcome, even the Wenxuan Division has calculated, and you have to be included in the designated store for tribute?" Where did you get this messy idea? β
Qi Mozhou expressed his incomprehension and doubts about Pan Chen's words, and Pan Chen theorized with him for this.
"What's the mess? You haven't opened a store before, so why do you say my method doesn't work? Pan Chen came to Qi Mozhou and looked up at him.
Qi Mozhou saw that her mouth was slightly pursed, and her cheeks were bulging, and he couldn't help but choke with her: "Have you ever opened it?" β
Pan Chen was choked by his words: "I, I've been walking around this street since I was a child, and I've been in contact with a lot more markets than you, although I haven't opened a store seriously, but I know how to open it." β
Qi Mozhou saw her hands on her waist and pretended to be fierce, not only did he feel annoying, but he also thought it was quite funny, but this was just his own thoughts, Pan Chen didn't think he was interesting now, she was a person who fought with reason, you can question her character and behavior, but you can't question her ability, trying to reason with Qi Mozhou, and move with emotion:
"Besides, since this store was funded by the household department......"
Pan Chen's words were interrupted by Master Li: "Madam, madam." It's not funded by the Ministry of Households, it's ......" Master Li didn't say who it was, but the fingers under the sleeves pointed very firmly at Qi Mozhou, which made Pan Chen stunned, Qi Mozhou raised his eyes and looked at her at the right time, Pan Chen did not flinch, and continued to say:
"It's better if he built it, I have to do my best to get things done, I can't let his money go down the drain, right? No matter what you do, of course, you have to make use of all the power that can be used around you in order to exert the greatest and best effect, what do Gan Xiang and Master Li think? There is also Commander Fu, you are the most fair, you give me a comment to see if this is the truth. β
Pan Chen threw a hot potato to a group of men, Gan Xianggan coughed twice, Lord Li pretended to look at the sky, only Fu Ning, who was named at the end, touched his nose and said ambiguously: "Huh? Well. β
No one stood up to attack Qi Mozhou with her, Pan Chen exhaled, he really didn't count on it, he despised them, and finally fell on Qi Mozhou's body, only to see him standing with his hands in his hands, the corners of his mouth were like a smile, Pan Chen didn't want to talk to him for the time being, and continued to go to the second floor with his hands on his chest
After Pan Chen went upstairs, Gan Xiang, Master Li and Fu Ning gathered beside Qi Mozhou, and Lord Li whispered to Qi Mozhou and asked:
"Master, Madame's proposal is not unreasonable, do you really not consider it?"
Qi Mozhou didn't speak, but Gan Xiang saw the clue and said to Li: "Why don't you think about it?" Didn't you see that the master was playing tricks with his wife? Master Li is also a pro-person, can't you see this? β
Qimo Prefecture: ......
Master Li had a look of sudden realization: "Oh, oh...... I see, I see. I'm so wooden, I really didn't expect that our lord would have such a day. β
When Fu Ning heard this, he couldn't help but nod in agreement, the three of them looked at each other a few times, and exchanged a few glances that you know and I understand, Qi Mozhou saw this, and his eyes also turned around a few times on the three of them, wanting to justify himself a few words, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly couldn't help laughing, and several men couldn't hold back now, and followed behind Qi Mozhou, and laughed loudly.
Originally, the age was not much different, they had all been together in the army for many years, and Qi Mozhou didn't have any imperial shelf in front of them, so he pushed away their encirclement with a smile, and after coughing dryly, he also followed to the second floor.
Pan Chen stood in front of the window in the center of the second floor and looked at the street scene, he was still sullen with Qi Mozhou in his heart, he heard a voice behind him, and deliberately didn't look at it, until Qi Mozhou stood beside her, but he didn't speak for a long time, Pan Chen couldn't help but look to the side, only to see Qi Mozhou with his hands on the windowsill, looking leisurely, Pan Chen secretly grimaced at him, and was about to leave, but heard Qi Mozhou speak:
"What's the name of this shop?"
Pan Chen was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Naturally, the master is in charge." β
After thinking about it, Qi Mozhou gave the answer: "It's called Su Yue Pavilion." β
Su Yue Pavilion? Pan Chen thought about this name twice, although he didn't understand why Qi Mozhou was called this name, but the name was quite good.
After Qi Mozhou finished taking his name, he seemed to have some feelings, turned around from the window, and stared at Pan Chen with burning eyes, Pan Chen was a little embarrassed by him:
"What are you looking at?"
Qi Mozhou stared at her and asked with a smile: "Aren't you angry?" β
Pan Chen felt that this question was inexplicable: "What are you angry about?" I'm not angry, am I? It's just a discussion, and there are different opinions, so if you get angry, I'm too cautious. β
Qi Mozhou came from the window, because the windows on the other three sides of the second floor had not been opened, and the light was not so good, Qi Mozhou's backlit appearance made Pan Chen's heart feel tight, until he came to Pan Chen, bent down slightly, let his face face with Pan Chen's face, carefully observed Pan Chen's expression, and made sure that Pan Chen did not have any angry expression on his face, Qi Mozhou sighed:
"You're so boring."
Pan Chen: ......
After Qi Mozhou said this, he stood up straight, looked at Pan Chen condescendingly for a moment, and then left in front of Pan Chen with his hand, and walked to the third floor to inspect, leaving Pan Chen standing there alone with a head full of question marks, this person came up inexplicably, said a bunch of inexplicable words, and said that she was bored? Hey, big brother, who the hell is boring, can you make it clear?
