Chapter 44: The Orchid Restaurant
Because of Yin Susu's influence, Lin Yu, whom Qingqing saw at the agreed place, seemed to be a little depressed and had no energy, so he couldn't help but be a little worried.
"What's wrong? Did someone in the Hou Mansion mess with you? It was rare for a person who had always smiled to show such a sad expression, Qingqing unconsciously raised his eyebrows, and his voice gradually became cold.
"No, no." Lin Yu saw Qingqing like this, and hurriedly explained, "Actually, I met Sister Su Su, who quietly watched the wedding procession pass by in the restaurant opposite the restaurant I booked, and no one made trouble. ”
Qingqing and Lin Yu have been together for a long time, although they don't say that they have a heart, they also know her thoughts better, "If you think she is pitiful, you might as well go and see her often." After all, the Hou Mansion can't be counted on, and if it can be wooed, it is actually a backer. ”
"Gee, you're actually boring." Lin Yu laughed and diverted the topic, "I heard that there are a lot of Hu merchants in Xifang, right?" It seems that there is still a restaurant opened by Hu Shang, and there are orchids dancing? ”
"Then let's go to the hotel opened by Hu Shang to eat, I heard that it is also very exotic." Qingqing is actually only eighteen or nineteen years old, and she is also very curious about many things. "And crystal clear wine to drink."
Looking at Qingqing's expression that was finally relaxed, Lin Yu turned his head sideways and sighed slightly.
Lin Yu finally felt tired of all the things in the Hou Mansion, and instead of caring about them, it was better to spend some time on how to enrich his purse. In ancient and modern times, money is not everything, but no money is everything.
The location of his two shops is good, but because the lease period is until the first month, they have not yet been handed over to him. With the virtue of Zhenyuanhou's small-bellied chicken intestines, Lin Yu didn't expect him to return the dividends. Lin Yu doesn't have much silver in her hand now, and most of it is for her to buy land at a low price. After she was reborn in ancient times, she realized that there was a very good reason why the ancients liked to buy land. Although the income is much less than that of a shop, there is no need to worry about it, just collect the rent when the time comes, the landlord status of the squire is higher than that of the merchant, and the most important thing is that as a landlord, the income and food are guaranteed. Even in a famine year, they will never go hungry or be troubled by rising food prices.
Lin Yu saw that the land price was cheap before, so he seized the time to turn most of the cash in his hand into land, and as a result, he acquired a full 28 hectares of high-quality fertile land, and 27 hectares of medium fertile land, plus the original two small Zhuangzi 30 hectares of land and the 16 hectares of land bought by Mrs. Torin, Lin Yu's current land under his name suddenly exceeded 100 hectares. Of course, these fields cannot all be on the outskirts of Beijing, many of them are in neighboring states and counties, but the farthest is no more than a day's road.
Lin Yu actually doesn't plan to keep so much land, but he is waiting for the land price to rise next year to earn a difference. Because it is a business that makes steady profits and does not lose money, Lin Yu calculated the accounts, and according to the average land price in previous years, her net worth can be increased by half immediately. And even if it can't be sold for a while, the field is hard currency, and it is worth holding for a long time. Since Qingqing found out that Lin Yu was much more shrewd than herself, she no longer interfered with how Lin Yu operated.
However, Lin Yuzhi said that he was not engaged in business in his previous life, and if he really did business, he still had to start from scratch, see more and learn more. For example, the famously shrewd Hu merchants are worth emulating. Lin Yu is now in a hotel opened by a Hu businessman, Lin Yu's rebirth time is not short, and he has seen a lot of large and small restaurants and teahouses, but he has never seen such a good business. It was only about ten o'clock in the morning, and the restaurant had just opened, and it was already full of people, and many of them were dignitaries who had come here.
The wine seller was a particularly beautiful Persian girl, with big chrysoberyl-like eyes that could almost speak, and long golden hair combed high, with only a few strands scattered on her snow-white neck. She wore a small emerald coat, a golden-green brocade dress, her eyes glowed when she smiled, and two extremely sweet dimples.
Lin Yu and Qingqing bought a bottle of wine, and ordered flax cakes and roast mutton, as well as some vegetables. The flax cake is actually a sesame baked cake, having said that, Lin Yu seems to rarely see a seller of baked cakes on the street, mostly steamed cakes, thin and tough, more like the lotus leaf cake eaten with roast duck in later generations. After asking Lin Yu, the roast mutton Xiao Er sent it was cut well, and the other tables had a whole piece that was not cut, and it could be seen that the roasted golden butter was bright and very attractive. The vegetables are all cold and boiled, and because vegetables in the Western Regions are rare, the method is relatively simple.
Lin Yu was very interested, but Qingqing frowned slightly, "I don't like to eat beef and mutton, it's all beef and mutton here, and it's very fat." ”
As he was talking, Xiao Er came in with a copper plate of roast mutton, the meat slices were reddish, the edges were roasted golden, half of it was cut very thin, and half was cut thickly. There are also three small dishes on the copper plate, which contain two kinds of sauce and table salt.
Lin Yu took a slice and tasted it, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Delicious?" Qingqing also sandwiched a piece of mutton, but it hasn't been put into her mouth yet.
"Well, it's really delicious, it's almost the best roast lamb I've ever tasted, it's not old, it's tender and fragrant."
"Judging by the way your eyes glow, it seems to be good." Qingqing tasted it, nodded and said, "Don't say anything else, Hu Ren's barbecue skills are indeed better than ours." ”
Having said that, Qingqing really didn't seem to be very interested in mutton, and after only eating a few slices, she got tired of it. Seeing this, Lin Yu took the meat cutting knife sent with chopsticks to cut the pancakes, coated a few slices of meat with some sauce, and made a pancake with meat.
"You eat like this, you shouldn't be so tired." Lin Yu handed it to Qingqing and asked her to try it.
As soon as Qingqing took a bite, a girl near the table laughed sharply, "It's really a dirt bun, only the poor eat it like this." I said Lin Ruoyu, even if you are not the concubine of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion, you don't need to be so shabby. ”
Lin Ruoyu? Shabby? Lin Yu was stunned for a moment before she realized that the woman was talking about herself, and couldn't help but turn her face to look at the person who spoke. Apple face big eyes, pretty and well-dressed, but I don't know it. I don't know if Lin Ruoyu doesn't remember it, or if I don't know it. Although Lin Yu got some residual memories of Lin Ruoyu after waking up last time, most of them were about him and Marquis Lu when he was a child, and it was only a part of Lin Ruoyu's impress.
Lin Yu didn't know it, but he didn't expect Qingqing to know it, so he raised his eyes and glanced at her and said, "Miss Sun, the money your family owes to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion has been repaid?" ”
Miss Sun's sarcastic words just now made many people uncomfortable. Especially when businessmen are doing business in the two places, they often miss the lodging point, who hasn't eaten jerky with flatbread? Therefore, many people looked at this, and even laughed at Miss Sun directly. Miss Sun's face turned red all of a sudden, "You dead girl, what nonsense?" ”
"I remember it very clearly, a year ago, I still owed the Hou Mansion two thousand taels and didn't pay it back, speaking of which, Ling Zun is also a prefect, why can't he even take out two thousand taels?"
Lin Yu looked at Qingqing's plain face, and then looked at Miss Sun who left the account angrily, and admired it very much. Look, what is a spike? That's a flash deal.
