After Chu Qingluo's special acid product was made, it was highly praised in Chu Mansion. Mrs. Chu is even more business-minded, so she insisted on asking Chu Qingluo to list the recipes, and then instructed the kitchen to make a large number of them, saying that she was going to sell them in a pastry shop.

But who knows, the public has never eaten it, and the people who buy it are naturally a minority. And Chu Mu was greedy to marinate too much, and she didn't pay attention to storage, so many jars of sour products were blistered, and in the end they could only be wasted.

Chu Mu looked very distressed and looked frustrated.

Chu Qingluo had no choice but to step forward to comfort her: "Mother, let's not do so much at once next time, okay?" ”

"Alas—" Chu Mu sighed again.

Chu Qingluo looked at her with some amusement: "If you really want to sell, you will listen to me." ”

Chu Mu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pursed her mouth again: "Say, what the hell do you have in mind?" ”

"What the hell is my idea, it's obviously a scientific method...... I mean, it's a good way. ”

"You say, you say."

Seeing that Chu's mother was in spirit, Chu Qingluo hooked the corners of her mouth and said slowly: "Let's make two jars first, but not to sell them, but to give them to every guest who buys pastries to taste them for free." ”

"Free?"

"Well, it's free. Only after the customer has tried it and knows that the thing is delicious, will they have the desire to buy it. Besides, this thing is low-cost, so don't be reluctant to do it. ”

After hearing this, Chu Mu asked, "How long will it be free?" ”

"Then it depends on what everyone's evaluation is after trying it. There are many people who like to eat, and you can sell it as soon as the time is ripe, but don't make too much at once, just supply it in limited quantities. "There was no such thing as a refrigerator in those days.

"Hmm......" Chu Mu nodded while pondering, and after a while remembered and asked, "Where did you learn the sour from this girl?" How did I not know? ”

Chu Qingluo shrugged helplessly: "Self-created." After saying that, he remembered something and said, "Actually, you can also pickle other things, such as cabbage and ......."

The mother and daughter were discussing, and Steward Li suddenly came over to pass the word: "Miss, the peony girl is here, saying that she has an urgent matter to find you, and she is waiting outside the gate." ”

Chu Qingluo was stunned for a moment, it was just after dinner, and it was the first time that Peony came to her at such a time, so she didn't say a word and hurriedly went out to see the situation......

I saw Peony standing there in a pink dress. As soon as he saw Chu Qingluo, he hooked her arm mysteriously and said, "Qingluo, come with me somewhere." ”

Chu Qingluo asked where to go, but Peony didn't say, just said that she would know later.

It took a few blocks before stopping in front of a black-painted three-story wooden building. There are flaming lanterns hanging at the door, plum blossoms are planted on both sides, and the plaque reads 'Flowers in Four Seasons', and many women enter and exit from here.

"What is this place?" Chu Qingluo asked.

"Come in and you'll know." Peony couldn't help but pull her and walked inside.

A man in a flower-dressed dress greeted him with a spring breeze on his face: "Welcome girls, please inside." ”

Peony looked around the lobby on the first floor, as if looking for someone, and after a moment said, "We want a wing room on the third floor." ”

"Okay." The man shouted towards the staircase, "Third floor, two." Then he made a gesture of please.

Chu Qingluo followed Peony directly to the third floor, but they did not enter the wing, but stood in the corridor and looked down.

Downstairs, there are sapphire blue ayara curtains, and occasionally when the wind blows or someone passes by, the blue ayara will float slightly, like a dream. The lobby is a staggered scene, with men and women, wine and meat, so lively. What's more, it is a table of men revolving around a woman, grinding their ears and temples.

Chu Qingluo didn't even need to guess, he recognized at a glance that this was the so-called land of fireworks, but it was open to women. She swallowed: "Although I am an open person, you brought me here without saying a word...... Finally let me be mentally prepared! ”

"Oh, what do you think?" Peony looked at her with some amusement, pointed to the round table in the center of the lobby on the first floor, and said, "Look who is that?" ”

Chu Qingluo squinted her eyes and saw that the woman in the blue floor-length dress was happily leaning on a man and drinking. “…… Pan Yin? ”

"Hmm!" Peony nodded vigorously in affirmation.

"What does it have to do with us that she's here to drink flower wine?" Chu Qingluo didn't quite understand, and this didn't violate the palace rules.

"I just ran into her on the street and followed her here."

"And then?"

"And then? Of course, I'm looking for an opportunity to start! ”

Chu Qingluo rolled his eyes: "What?" Do you dare to kill people and abandon corpses? ”

“…… Then you have to teach her a lesson, right?! Peony puffed out her mouth and said angrily: "Anyway, I can't watch people like her take over the Seventh Prince!" ”

Who isn't?! Chu Qingluo is also not worth it for the Seventh Prince, but he can't really kill Pan Yin, right? "Then you say, what do you want to do?"

Peony rubbed for a long time before spitting out a few words: "...... Didn't think about it. But she was not going to give up, and said, "I will secretly observe her for a while, and then come up with a foolproof plan to clean her up next time." ”

"Ugh." Chu Qingluo sighed lightly, what method can Peony's little head come up with? It's really not optimistic.

"Since we're all here, let's just go into the wing room and think about it." Peony is still very morale.

"Okay." Chu Qingluo had no choice but to accompany him to the end.

The two stayed in the wing room and discussed all night, and the wine and food were ordered, but they didn't let the man accompany the wine. The men in the flower clothes who had just entertained them frequently went in to recommend, and waves of men in the workshop took turns to enter their rooms, some tall and short, some strong and some thin, and all kinds of styles were left to them to choose.

The man who blooms in all seasons, although his appearance cannot be compared with the empress's cloud servant, but the feeling of being provocative ...... Actually, it's pretty cool. It's a pity that they are discussing business, and it is really not suitable for others to be present.

But the face of the man in the flower dress who led the team was really ugly. After all, this is to drink flower wine, and you can't spend nothing except for wine and food. Therefore, Chu Qingluo still asked the price very sensibly.

The man in the flower clothes said that the price of a man in the workshop to accompany him to drink wine was five silver, and the overnight stay was one gold...... Chu Qingluo gave two golds, all of which were ordered, and asked them all to withdraw quickly. Although the man in the flower dress was not satisfied, he could be regarded as having spent money, and he didn't need to wait, so he took a group of people out of the wing.

In the end, Chu Qingluo and Peony drank until the time of the child before leaving the Four Seasons Flowers. Unexpectedly, the amount of wine of the girl Peony was also good, and the two talked and laughed, and drank so much that they drank to the back...... They all forgot about how to trick Pan Yin to rescue the Seventh Prince.

It is said that drinking is wrong, and there is some truth in it. I knew that it was better to let the men accompany the wine, so that I could pretend to be a local tyrant sister or something...... What a pity!

……

Because the famous clothing workshop was rushing to make orders, Chu Qingluo did not stay in Guangrentang after leaving the court in the past two days, but rushed back to the shop to draw patterns. Seeing that she was busy, Peony didn't find a chance to discuss with her, so she came up with a clever plan first......
