The Prime Minister's Mansion was in a lot of trouble, but the Xuanwang Mansion was smiling and smiling.

Duan Haoran didn't know where to take out two bottles of beautifully packaged sesame oil, saying that it was a gift for a visit.

When Xiao Yuhan saw it, he pouted and said, "Duan Da Rich Man, you are too stingy, right, just send two bottles?" ”

Duan Haoran said: "Today is a temporary intention, there is no preparation, there are just two bottles of sesame oil on the carriage, a little caution, please forgive King Xuan." Some other day! On another day, Duan will prepare a generous gift. ”

Nangong You glanced at Xiao Yuhan, and his eyes were saying: It's better than someone coming empty-handed and being ashamed.

Duan Haoran said: "Cousin doesn't know, this sesame oil is very in demand, a few days ago I occasionally bought dozens of bottles to give away, and then I wanted to buy hundreds of bottles, but the shopkeeper said that it was out of stock, and I had to wait for three more days." This thing is so popular, I plan to buy more and bring it back to Dongyu City, and ask the people below to study and study, how to make it, and we can make it when the time comes, I have all the sesame oil in the Xuanwang Mansion. ”

Xiao Yuhan glanced at Nangong You, thinking of what he said before, this sesame oil is just to make this money, and when others can make it, this way of wealth will be gone.

A few people drank tea and chatted in the front hall, and Ye Xiaoyan went to arrange dinner.

After she explained what she was doing in the kitchen, she ordered someone to call Dong Fu.

Dong Fu saluted: "Meet the princess!" ”

"Sit down." Ye Xiaoyan said: "This concubine is going to open a restaurant, the store has been negotiated, I want to ask you to be the shopkeeper of the restaurant, you may be competent?" ”

When Dong Fu heard this, he hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "The slave will definitely do his best to live up to the trust of the princess." ”

Dong Fu has been the shopkeeper of "Dong Ji" sesame oil for a period of time, and many business ideas were developed by the princess. For example, let the guests try it, such as "gift box". He didn't know what a "gift box" was before, but the princess told him that he usually bought it back and ate it himself, and used ordinary bottles, each bottle was about two taels. Some people buy gifts, they use exquisite bottles, each bottle is about three taels, and also prepare a delicate wooden box that is just enough to hold two bottles, the wooden box is drilled with small holes, and the ribbon is worn, which is easy to carry, and it is very exquisite.

The best-selling one right now is this "gift box". The princess is priced at a set of 36 taels, which is said to mean "66 or 6 Shun".

With such a smart and wise princess behind him, Dong Fu felt that he just had to listen to the princess.

Ye Xiaoyan said: "At present, the most lacking thing in the restaurant is the cook, the dishes in our restaurant are different from the usual restaurants, you go back to the palace first to follow along." At the same time, find a few more helpers to cultivate and cultivate, and in the future, when business is good, I am afraid that the kitchen will be too busy. ”

"Yes." Dong Fugong listened.

"In addition, what other people are needed in the kitchen, you are from the imperial chef in the palace, you don't need me to say more, you should also know."

"The slave knows, please rest assured that the princess will arrange it."

"And then there's the waiter."

"Waiter?" Dong Fu was puzzled.

"It's the second shopkeeper."

Ye Xiaoyan thought about it and ordered someone to call Steward Zhou and Mama Rong.

"I've seen the princess!" Steward Zhou and Mama Rong saluted.

Ye Xiaoyan asked them to sit down and said, "Today I have negotiated with Duan Gongzi to rent his shop to open a restaurant, which is almost ready-made, and I plan to open it within seven days." ”

When the three of them heard this, they were slightly surprised. Including Dong Fu who came from the front. He thought that the restaurant would take at least a month before it opened, but he didn't expect that the princess planned seven days.

Ye Xiaoyan said: "I have already told Shopkeeper Dong about the back kitchen, and now I want to talk about the front hall." The second child in the front hall shop, I gave them a name, called the waiter. The waiters in our restaurant must have men and women. Steward Zhou and Mama Rong went to the dental shop to look for them, and they should be healthy, good-looking, and articulate. Select people as soon as possible. Then Mama Rong first taught them some basic etiquette for dealing with others, and then I will teach them personally. ”

Steward Zhou asked, "How many people do you want?" ”

"Ten men and ten women." It hasn't started business yet, and Ye Xiaoyan can't estimate how many it will be enough.

"Twenty?" Steward Zhou was a little surprised. How big is that restaurant, there are only one or two guys in the general wine shop, four or five in the larger restaurant, and only seven or eight guys in the Guangju Building.

Ye Xiaoyan said: "In addition, you are looking for a few young and beautiful Qing officials, who must be good at singing and dancing and can play the piano." ”

Mama Rong's face changed slightly, and she said with some hesitation: "Princess, does the prince know about your arrangements?" ”

"I know, I have already told the prince in the carriage before."

Mama Rong was silent.

Ye Xiaoyan said: "After the Qing officials come, Mama Rong, you will also teach them etiquette first, I want them to have the style of everyone's ladies, and not have the wind and dust of the Qinglou." As for the future, I will teach them again. ”

Mama Rong's face changed again. The princess actually wants to teach these Qing officials in person. Mama Rong sighed in her heart, this person from another world is different from the people in their world.

Steward Zhou asked, "Princess, where are these people going to live after they buy them?" ”

Ye Xiaoyan thought for a while and asked, "How much silver will it cost to buy a house in the west of the city that is enough for these people to live in?" ”

Steward Zhou said: "It is estimated that it will cost at least 20,000 taels." ”

Ye Xiaoyan counted the existing silver, and it was really stretched. said: "You first ask someone to inquire, whether to rent or buy, and then decide." People bought it and placed it in the East Courtyard for the time being, remember, don't let them disturb Xiao Shizi. ”

There are few people in the Xuanwang Mansion, and there are less than 40 people in the whole mansion. The subordinates of the East Courtyard were transferred to the West Courtyard before, and they originally said that they would replace the East Courtyard, but later because Zhou Qianru left, they did not buy new subordinates. In the past two days, Xiao Shizi came, so he sent a few people over to serve.

A few people were talking in the dining hall when they heard the sound of a harp coming from the courtyard.

Ye Xiaoyan said to the three of them: "What I explained just now, you should hurry up and do it." Tomorrow I have something to go out, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, all the people I should find will be found, and the house must also have an eyebrow. ”

Ye Xiaoyan said and spoke, and couldn't help but bring out a bit of the vigorous and resolute style of her previous life.

The three of them bowed down and said "yes" and retired to work.

Ye Xiaoyan came to the courtyard with the sound of the piano, and saw that on the balcony, Nangong You was boiling tea, Duan Haoqi was playing the piano, and Xiao Yuhan and Duan Haoran were drinking tea and listening to the piano.

Seeing Ye Xiaoyan coming, Nangong Yu beckoned to her. Ye Xiaoyan walked over and sat beside him. Nangong You stretched out her big hand from under the tea table to hold her little hand, and asked, "Are things all arranged?" ”

"It's arranged.".

Ye Xiaoyan looked at Duan Haoqi's hands plucking lightly on the strings, and saw that she looked up and smiled sweetly from time to time. The smile was pure, like a child. But speaking of which, Duan Haoqi is actually one year older than Ye Xiaoyan. The youngest here should be Ye Xiaoyan. But the girl in front of her always gives people the feeling of a little girl.
