Chapter Seventy-One: Gu Lan's Goal
There is money to be made, of course Gu Lan will not refuse, he turned his head to the swallow who had just woken up and ordered, "Swallow, pack the dishes on the table, let's take them back to eat, there are so many dishes left, they can't be wasted." ”
And the crowd fainted again, and they even ate and took it! The restaurant simply closed its doors.
Gu Lan couldn't care so much, and said to the shopkeeper next to him, "Go and bring the food box for your restaurant, and put all these leftovers into the food box for me, Yanzi, you watch him load the food, and I will bring it back when I leave." ”
When the restaurant shopkeeper heard this, he almost flashed his waist.
This girl wants to take away these leftover meals in front of the three princes, isn't this a loss of face for the three princes?
The shopkeeper listened to Gu Lan's words and was busy looking for food boxes.
The shopkeeper on the side covered his face and turned to the side, I don't know this girl, this girl is thick-skinned and he doesn't dare to look at it directly.
Li Yu, who was sitting at the table drinking tea, looked at Gu Lan's elated appearance, and her mood also improved, this little girl went there thinking about making money, she was really a little money fan!
Li Yu didn't dislike Gu Lan because she wanted to pack the food on the table. The current treasury of the Jin State is not so sufficient, the problem of drought in the west has not been solved, and the common people even eat bark and grass roots when they are hungry.
Gu Lan's frugal approach won his heart, if everyone was as diligent and thrifty as this little girl, then the saved food could be used to relieve the victims in those arid areas.
This little girl will not only make money, but also know how to be diligent and thrifty, who will marry back? Is it difficult not to make a fortune?
Gu Lan and the shopkeeper of the restaurant went to the kitchen to cook together, and Yanzi didn't dare to stay with Li Yu and them, mainly because Li Yu's momentum was too scary, and he followed Gu Lan to the kitchen.
Looking at Yanzi's evasive figure, Li Yu frowned, turned his head and asked the shopkeeper Wang, "Am I so terrible?" ”
The shopkeeper Wang looked at the back of the swallow and said, "The master is handsome and extraordinary, so naturally it will not make people feel afraid, but the little girl is timid and frightened by the master's momentum." If it were Miss Gu, I wouldn't be afraid of the master. ”
Li Yu nodded, that little girl was not only not afraid, but she didn't have herself in her eyes at all.
A country girl, so bold, I don't know if she doesn't understand? Or does it not matter at all?
In the blink of an eye, the originally lively private room was left with Li Yu's master and servant.
"Shopkeeper Wang, since we have come to Zhengning County, we should visit General Chu, General Chu has not seen him since he was seriously injured and recuperated!" Thinking of Chu Jing, Li Yu was a little gloomy, such a sassy and powerful person, but now he was lying on the bed waiting for death.
In that battle, he didn't participate, but he heard that it was very smooth at the beginning, capturing several cities of the enemy army, and the army's morale was great, but later when he was chasing the enemy general, he was ambushed, Chu Jing was seriously injured, and his soldiers died countless times. Even the castle that it had taken with it was lost.
The emperor was furious, thinking that Chu Jing led the troops improperly, and rushed forward without finding out the enemy's situation, causing the soldiers to lose more than half and hurting the vitality of the Great Jin. He was fined for three years and returned to his hometown to recuperate.
So a holy decree sent Chu Jing back to his hometown to recuperate, but Chu Jing didn't say a word, didn't defend himself, and went back to Zhengning Village to recuperate.
Li Yu has always felt strange that Chu Jing has gone through hundreds of battles large and small since he went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but there will be no such clumsy mistakes, there must be a hidden reason in this.
This time, I must ask clearly!
The shopkeeper knew Li Yu's thoughts, but Chu Jing was under punishment, the emperor was not old, and the princes had grown up, and it was the time when the prince was at its most powerful, so they all wanted to pull the prince off the horse and replace him himself.
The three princes are also the most powerful competitors, naturally there are many eyes staring at the three princes, waiting to take the fault of the three princes, at this time to visit Chu Jing, it will give people a handle, if it is sent according to a crime of forming a party for personal gain, the three princes will be planted.
Li Yu naturally knew this truth, and seeing that the shopkeeper Wang didn't say anything, he said, "Naturally, we can't go on the surface, so let's go in secret." Although this Chu Jing was punished by his father to return to his hometown, his father did not take back his military power. What does this mean? It shows that he is still very important to his father, and there will be a day when he will make a comeback. ”
When Li Yu said this, the shopkeeper Wang understood that this Chu Jing controlled the military power, and if he got his help, the master's chances of victory would increase by a few percent. The master's goal has always been that high position.
"Master, it's the subordinates who are short-sighted and don't see the situation clearly. Or the master is wise and long-term. The subordinates will arrange it to ensure that no one will see a hint of it. The shopkeeper of the king who reacted was full of joy, if the master really got Chu Jing's help, the master's matter would be more than half successful, this matter must be done well, but it can't be messed up.
The master and servant left the Baiju building through the back door, without alarming anyone in the arms.
When Gu Lan finished cooking the dishes, he earned another twenty taels of silver, holding the twenty taels of silver from the white flowers, Gu Lan smiled so much that she couldn't see her eyebrows, and she was so confused that even Yanzi blushed for her when she saw it.
Gu Lan didn't care about this, she was happy to have money to earn, she was poor.
In this ancient world, if you don't have silver, you will kill people, but she has a deep understanding of this, isn't Li Yan's husband and wife forced to be desperate by a few taels of silver dowry money?
Putting away the silver, Gu Lan said goodbye to the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and prepared to go home.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant is also smiling, relying on this braised prawns, the restaurant has made a lot of money today.
It's a pity that the shrimp is sold out, and the guests who haven't eaten it can only wait for the fresh shrimp to come tomorrow before they can have a good taste.
Gu Lan was doing it in the kitchen, the chefs were watching from the side, and Gu Lan also explained carefully what he didn't understand, and now the people in the kitchen have made this dish.
Of course, there are some subtle differences in taste. But Miss Gu said that practice makes perfect, do it a few more times, and the taste will be right.
This realizes that the restaurant has one more signature dish, and it can earn more in the future.
What's more, here Miss Gu still has a relationship with the third prince.
When the shopkeeper of the restaurant sent Gu Lan out, he no longer had the original contempt, and treated Gu Lan politely.
The attitude of the restaurant shopkeeper, Gu Lan didn't take it to heart, whether it is ancient or modern, there are many people who are high and low, and deliberately greet people, can you take care of it? Dealing with such people only adds to the troubles.
"Miss Gu, next time you have time, I'll give you a triple discount." The shopkeeper of the restaurant was smiling.
"The shopkeeper is polite, I'm not one of those rich people, I don't have money to spend, I'm just greedy, and I just come to eat occasionally. The shopkeeper has this heart, and Mingzhu has received it, thank you! Gu Lan just wanted to try the signature dishes of this big restaurant. Now that I eat it, it tastes like that, it's not as delicious as what I make at home, since it's not delicious, who will spend that unjust money?
