Chapter 106: Lost the vest
Because they wanted to talk about things, Yan Su took them to a nearby restaurant.
"Chow Tai Fook, you arrange for these two little friends to go to dinner next door.
Remember, be sure to entertain well, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind. Yan Su instructed the restaurant shopkeeper who followed up.
"Definitely, you can rest assured." The middle-aged man known as Chow Tai Fook nodded and bowed his waist and invited Bai Meng and Bai Mo to the next door.
"Bai Meng, Bai Mo, you two go to the next door for a meal first, I'll talk to your sister-in-law about something, and I'll come to you later, okay?"
"Go ahead, just eat, you're welcome." Bai Jinli's gaze could be regarded as coming down from Chow Tai Fook's face, and she glanced at the two of them comfortingly.
"Okay." The two men nodded and followed to the next door.
"The white girl has been staring at Shopkeeper Zhou, but do you know?"
"No, no, I don't know, it's the first time I've met, I just think he's funny." Bai Jinli shook her head.
Actually, she was just a little interested in Chow Tai Fook's name, nothing more.
"Really? Come, white girl, Su will toast you first. Yan Su smiled, not understanding what Bai Jinli was thinking about.
"Su Gongzi is polite." After Bai Jinli finished speaking, she raised her head and drank it.
It's the first time she's drunk the wine here, and she doesn't know if Yan Su is deliberately taking care of her, and the alcohol content that she deliberately sent someone to bring is relatively low, or if the wine here is all soft.
Anyway, after she drank it, she didn't feel much of it.
"What else does the White Maiden want to eat? Despite the dots. ”
"No, the food on the table is hearty enough." Bai Jinli looked at the dozen or so dishes on the table in front of her and shook her head.
There are only two of them, and it's a waste to order too much.
"Eat first? We'll talk about it later. ”
"Okay." Bai Jinli nodded, and she was not polite.
When she went out in the morning, she ate only one egg as usual, and now she was so hungry that she was so hungry that she was close to her back.
Originally, I wanted to finish asking things from Zhong Ling's embroidery workshop as soon as possible, and then take Bai Meng and Bai Mo to eat something, but I didn't expect to meet the person in front of me.
Since he invited him to dinner, Bai Jinli naturally had no reason to refuse.
Yan Su looked at Bai Jinli's unrefined eating posture, and inexplicably felt that she was very straightforward, and even her appetite was much better.
The nobles in the capital have been taught to learn etiquette since they were young, and they eat in small bites, and they can't eat too much of each dish.
Although that way of eating looks good and decent, I feel like eating like a show after watching too much.
Yan Su is a person who has done business and traveled to many places. After seeing a lot of the world, I don't think it's really good for the nobles in the capital to abide by etiquette one by one.
They seem to have been taught by different people to look roughly the same, although their looks have their own merits, but they are rare and eye-catching.
Bai Jinli ate a full meal, and after eating, she drank the tea to eliminate her appetite and waited for Yan Su to talk about the book.
Who knows, Yan Su's first question was about fragrant pancreas.
"Listen to Zhong Ling, you have different suggestions for the fragrant pancreas in our shop, can you tell me about it?"
"Naturally. Your fragrant pancreas is indeed good, and it is easy to use, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. ”
"Oh? I want to hear about it! Yan Su opened the folding fan and shook it slowly.
"Su Gongzi is from the capital, right? I heard that the people in the capital are more particular.
If this fragrant pancreas can be made with a better shape, a more attractive taste, and more choices in color, it must be able to upgrade a grade, I wonder if Su Gongzi can understand what I mean? ”
"You mean, you can make some better quality and sell them to the nobles in the capital?" Yan Su asked.
"Well, that's exactly what it means."
"I've also thought about it, and I'm also trying to fuse the petals with the fragrant pancreas, and I'm still trying to explore it." Yan Su opened his mouth bluntly.
"In terms of shape, you can send someone to make some molds of various shapes, such as round and square rabbit shapes, Kate cats, etc., and then you can apply them directly.
The color and taste can indeed be worked on from the flowers, but the steps are more complicated, and you need to use purification and fusion, etc. Bai Jinli said simply.
"Oh? Does the White Girl still know this? What do you call a mold? What does purification mean? Yan Su was immediately curious when he heard a few unfamiliar words.
"I've seen it in a book. The mold is equivalent to a model, such as the pattern of embroidery.
As for purification, it is to extract and separate the essence in the petals using a special method, leaving the parts that can be used and discarding the useless. ”
Bai Jinli thought for a long time and made such an explanation.
"The white girl knows a lot, I wonder if she can continue to mention a little bit or two?" Yan Su looked at her a little inquiringly.
"I can help you draw the mold, you can just find someone to make it. In terms of color, Su Gongzi must have already had a plan.
As for purification, this is more complicated, and there are more things that need to be used, and it cannot be achieved for a while. I'll look into it later and talk to you about it, okay? ”
It's really that Bai Jinli hasn't figured out what can achieve the method of purifying the petal essence in ancient times, and he needs time to think about it.
Otherwise, she would have already figured out how to make essential oils.
"Yes." After Yan Su nodded, he commanded loudly.
It didn't take long for a small servant to send a set of four treasures of the study.
Bai Jinli didn't shirk either, took the pen and spent a few novel tricks, and explained to Yan Su in detail what kind of materials should be used to try to make the mold.
Yan Su listened very carefully and took everything she said to heart.
Picking up the paper and looking at the cute or interesting or chic patterns on it, Exit asked.
"I don't know what the white girl likes to read on weekdays, this idea is completely different from others, and it's very novel."
"It's okay to take a look at it, what miscellaneous history, the villain book on the stall, the text that came out of nowhere in the countryside to paste the wall, etc." Bai Jinli made it up randomly.
"So it was. By the way, White Girl, you wrote the Journey to the West yourself, right? Although Yan Su's tone was questioning, it was a little determined.
"Oh? Why did Su Gongzi say that? Bai Jinli was stunned in her heart, and her appearance was still as usual.
Why did she lose her vest so quickly, shouldn't she?
This Journey to the West is currently known to no one other than herself.
"I read that the author's name on the manuscript is Li Jinbai, which looks like a man's name. But the font is beautiful, and at first glance it is from a woman's hand.
Besides, the white girl's name is Bai Jinli, isn't it the author's name upside down? ”
"Su Gongzi is as delicate as a hair. That's right, it's me, but I still ask Su Gongzi to keep this matter secret for me, otherwise there will be nothing to talk about in cooperation between us. ”
"That's nature." Yan Su responded, but he was thinking in his heart.
I didn't expect you and me to be a routine, and we both like to make up fake names when they come backwards.
"How many more stories do you have for the next part of the manuscript?"
"It's about a dozen chapters. I don't know if the cooperation will go well, so that's all I have to write so far. Bai Jinli said truthfully.
"In this way, I'll help you make the manuscript into a book, and find a way to sell it in various bookstores in various places, and you provide the whole complete story, and then we will be twenty-eight points, how about it?" Yan Su asked.
"Four-six."
"The White Girl has such an appetite. You only need to provide the story, and the investment in other things is me, and even I have to bear certain consequences and risks, is it really appropriate for you to say that? Yan Su smiled angrily.
"A person with vicious eyes like Su Gongzi can take a fancy to my script, so I think it has a certain market and potential.
As long as you are willing to invest, you will be able to make money when the time comes. Bai Jinli still spoke lightly.
"Oh? Operation? What does this mean? ”
"As long as the script is engaging, there are many ways to make money. This thing can also be made into different versions, such as ordinary Mandarin books, collector's edition signed models.
As for the method of attracting people, presumably Su Gongzi must have a very broad network over the years. For ordinary scripts, take them to major teahouses for storytellers to talk about, and find a way to make it circulate in the market.
When this story is hot, Su Gongzi can take the collector's edition of the book and give it away. As for how to give it away, this ......"
After Bai Jinli said everything she thought, she really saw Yan Su's eyes light up.
I didn't expect the white girl to have such a mind at such a young age, which made Su admire. Even so, a maximum of three or seven points. "Yan Su is still interested in the end.
After listening to what Bai Jinli said, he was indeed a little excited, and he couldn't wait to try to control it.
But he can only sell to this point at most, otherwise it will exceed the pre-line in his heart.
"Yes." Bai Jinli happily agreed.
"Okay, then let's talk about the next details in detail......"
The two of them worked hard for more than an hour, and they talked about everything perfectly.
Bai Jinli looked at the time, got up and spoke: "Master Su, since this is the case, we will do what we say."
It's not too early, and it's time for me to go home for some more errands. ”
"Well, then I won't force it."
"Master Su, take the liberty of asking, you have a treat today, right?"
"That's nature!"
"You don't eat these meals, do you?"
"Hmm."
"Okay, Xiao Er, come and pack those untouched dishes for me to take away." Only then did Bai Jinli speak.
"This ...... Okay! Xiao Er was slightly stunned, and then quickly went to do this.
Su Yan looked at Bai Jinli's actions incredulously, a little incomprehensible.
"Master Su, you don't understand the suffering of our poor people. These meals will be thrown away when we are gone, which is really wasteful. Anyway, the chopsticks haven't been touched, so why don't I bring them back and warm them up?
You know, the people in our village can't even fill their stomachs on weekdays, and they worry about eating all day long, let alone the food in these restaurants.
If you mind, you can go first. Bai Jinli's face was flat, not necessarily embarrassed.
