Chapter 164: The bottleneck of the restaurant

Lu Qingjin greeted while shaking the snow on his cloak: "I sent someone over to drag you to do it, and there has been no news for a long time, so I didn't come here in person because I was in a hurry."

Concubine Li smiled a little embarrassedly: "I have almost checked the news you asked me to check, but there is no news from my aunt's side, and the charity has been a lot more honest recently, but I heard that the charity sent a lot of people to Nanzhanglin a few days ago, and many of them have disappeared."

Lu Qingjin was stunned when he heard this: "You said that charity sent people to Nanzhanglin?"

Concubine Li pretended not to care and said: "It's not that I don't know what charity thinks, maybe I was stimulated by Si Min'an's matter, but it's a pity for those little girls."

Lu Qingjin was still a little sluggish, Concubine Li avoided her gaze and said: "These things have nothing to do with us, you still don't have to worry about these useless things, I just wanted to go to you, our restaurant has encountered some problems, I have discussed it with a few other people for a long time and there is no way, you can come up with an idea."

Lu Qingjin had already read the news from Concubine Li, and she had also read the account book of the restaurant during this time, and immediately understood what Concubine Li said, and said with a headache: "A lot of things in winter can't grow, the situation in the restaurant is really no way, the vegetables in this greenhouse are really limited, I think it's better to focus on noodle soup in winter, and buy a little beef and sheep from the people in the Western Regions in a few days, and sell more meat and vegetables."

Concubine Li felt that this would still damage the reputation of the restaurant, but thinking that this was indeed the best way at present, she could only nod helplessly: "Then let's do it, it just so happens that the merchants of the Western Regions haven't come here yet, let's talk about the wool felt business in a few days."

Lu Qingjin was thinking about whether to say it, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it would be better to say it together at that time, and the two of them had nothing to say, so Lu Qingjin casually said a few polite words and left.

Xiao Cui looked at the back of Lu Qingjin leaving, and said with some concern: "The queen mother is so smart, will she doubt the news you gave, after all, Aunt Lu, we didn't send anyone over at all." ”

Concubine Li took a sip of tea and sighed: "If I really dared to check Si Min'an, I wouldn't have worried about it for so many days, the queen mother is a smart person, I must have heard it a long time ago, but this is just a tacit acquiescence."

Xiao Cui said secretly: "When the slave went to see Qinglan this morning, I found that something was wrong with Qinglan, and I tried for a while before I found that Qinglan's palace sand was gone."

Concubine Li said indifferently: "What's this, the queen mother has always cared about this kind of thing, and besides, hasn't Qinglan been selling news in the palace for a long time, it's all normal." ”

Xiaocui said anxiously: "Originally, I thought it was the same, so out of curiosity, I asked where Xiwang Qinglan was last night, who knew that Xiwang secretly told me that Qinglan stayed in Shizi Mansion last night."

The water cup in Concubine Li's hand fell to the ground, and the glass cup made a crisp clicking sound, Xiao Cui shrank her neck with a stir, and Concubine Li said in a trembling voice: "You mean that Qinglan may have had sex with Shizi last night."

As soon as Lu Qingjin returned to the palace, she saw Qinglan, whose face had improved a lot, sweeping the courtyard, she smiled and said, "Why don't you rest for a while, it's only noon that you come out."

Qinglan bowed and said with a smile: "I heard the news, saying that there are some bottlenecks in the restaurant, so I didn't think of some ways to show it to you."

Lu Qingjin has indeed been worrying about this matter just now, most of the reputation of the restaurant is novelty-based, if it is changed to noodle soup, it will inevitably lose its characteristics, how can the people in the Western Regions have such flexible brains not think of why, if they really open the same restaurant, it will be too big a blow to Shengshi Pavilion.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingjin took the paper in Qinglan's hand and looked at it carefully, only to see that there were a lot of methods listed in detail on it, Lu Qingjin only felt suddenly realized after reading it, and said happily: "Even if it is solved in this way, I really can't see that you have such an opinion."

Qinglan smiled quietly and did not speak, while Lu Qingjin entered the room happily.

Qin Zhao sat on the chair and looked at Ji Chen with a frown, Ji Chen sighed helplessly and persuaded: "Forget it, seeing that King Wei is about to enter Beijing, if you do something out of the ordinary at this time, I am afraid that the previous dynasty will not be stable."

After all, this is the first New Year with Lu Qingjin, Qin Zhao still doesn't want to have an accident, and when he heard this, he changed the topic: "I heard that the Lu Mansion has not been doing well recently, is there something wrong with the new Mrs. Yun."

Ji Chen was a little helpless about his gossip, but he still said honestly: "Mrs. Lu was caught assassinating Mrs. Yun, and she made a fuss for a while a few days ago, but now she has been locked up, and she can't even go out with Lu Youruo, so it can be seen that Lu Qi is really angry."

Qin Zhao sneered maliciously: "It's different to be old, who knows if you can keep it."

Ji Chen furrowed his eyebrows, and after a while, he spoke tentatively: "Your Majesty, does your majesty know that this Mrs. Yun is Si Min'an's person."

Qin Zhao glanced at him and said meaningfully: "This Xiaoyun was missing from Concubine Yun's side at that time, I still have some impressions, and besides, looking at Man Dayu, who else wants Zhao Yunheng's life except us and the group of people who have gone to sea, isn't it a matter of knowing at a glance."

Ji Chen hesitated for a moment and said his conjecture one by one: "This Si Min'an's plan is really unfilial, if you want to come in a few days, it is very likely that you will send people to the palace, Your Majesty must be careful." ”

Qin Zhao nodded, and suddenly remembered something ill-intentioned and said, "I remember that the matter of charity and Chang Lin was caught a few days ago, don't you have anything to say?"

Ji Chen knew that what Qin Zhao wanted to ask about Yan Sheng, and replied with a bitter face: "I have already checked, Chang Lin has a high probability of being Si Min'an's person, as for Yan Sheng, he can't see it yet."

Qin Zhao drank all the ginger tea on the table, only to feel that his whole body was warm, and he kindly poured a cup for Ji Chen: "You don't have to worry too much, Yan Sheng, you don't know me or understand, if it is difficult to make him subordinate, it should have nothing to do with him, so you can rest assured to make friends."

Ji Chen glanced at him and said helplessly: "I didn't want to doubt him, but you should also know the name of Simin'an, the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Chen family in the previous dynasty were all wiped out by her alone, if Yan Sheng really didn't know her, it would be hard for me to believe it."
