Chapter Eighty-Eight: Qianzhou Restaurant
After they left, Jin Zizhen squeezed out of the bustling crowd, and the corners of the white clothes were stepped on by someone who stepped on a footprint, and the white clothes were black on the foot, which was very eye-catching!
"Childe, where are we going?" The little guy followed behind with a package on his back and a number of salutes, panting and asking.
Jin Zizhen looked at the footprints on the white clothes with disgust: "Find an inn to live in first." ”
"Holo." The two disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
Zhizhou Mansion, in the main hall.
Father-in-law Xi took a sip of tea: "Our family is ordered by the emperor to send things to adults." ”
The little eunuch carried the boxes into the hall and lined them up one by one.
"This is what the emperor ordered our family to hand over to the adults, and this is all the money for the Fushougou project, and the adults will do it."
The little eunuch opened all the boxes, even though Su Zhiyuan had expected it, but when he saw so many bright gold ingots, he couldn't help but be shocked, the emperor had made a lot of money this time.
Xi Gonggong said with a smile: "The Fushougou project will be handed over to the adults, the adults are not only the parents of Qianzhou, but also the people who came up with a way to solve the floods, presumably no one knows better than the adults, how to build the Fushougou is appropriate, the emperor is trusting, fancy the adults." ”
Su Zhiyuan was modest: "Being favored by the emperor is a blessing for the lower officials." ”
The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and said fairly: "The adults are busy first, and our family will not bother." ”
"Xiaguan sent his father-in-law to the post house," Su Zhiyuan handed over two bottles of excellent wine, and along the way, there were also a few silver tickets, "Father-in-law has worked the boat, hard work, home-brewed wine, it's not worth anything, drink a sip or two before going to bed, you can relieve your fatigue." ”
Father-in-law Xi glanced at the silver ticket, took it quietly, put it in his sleeve, and then smiled more genuinely: "My lord is modest, now this wine is on fire in the capital!" Even the emperor likes to have a drink in his free time. ”
The two talked and laughed and went to the post house, and when Su Zhiyuan came back again, the sun had set.
Banxia was leaning on the head of the bed in his middle coat to read, and when he saw Su Zhiyuan coming back, he said with concern: "I asked Mama Su to leave chicken soup in the kitchen, and Xianggong wants to drink some soup or eat a bowl of chicken noodle soup." ”
"Okay, I'm tired of the lady."
Banxia sat at the table with her coat draped and called Mama Su: "Let the small kitchen prepare three bowls of chicken noodle soup." ”
"Yes, ma'am." After Mama Su retreated, Su Zhiyuan was puzzled: "Three bowls are too much, I can't eat them at night." ”
Banxia rarely saw Su Zhiyuan so cute and ignorant: "I've been waiting for my husband until now, and I'm hungry too." ”
Su Zhiyuan drank a cup of tea to get rid of the wine: "Blame me, I didn't send the news back in advance, and the lady waited for me until now." ”
Banxia saw the pole climb up: "Since I know it's wrong, I can't come back so late next time, look at the smell of wine in this body." ”
Su Zhiyuan responded with a good temper.
"How's it going?"
"Tomorrow he will leave for Beijing," Su Zhiyuan said, "This time the emperor trusts me so much, not only does he give me a lot of funds, but he also does not send another person over, but gives me full authority, thanks to King Jin." ”
Listening to the sound of footsteps outside, the couple tacitly stopped talking.
"Knock knock" Mama Su knocked on the door and brought three bowls of steaming noodles.
Banxia wrapped the robe tightly on his body: "It's not early, Mama should also go to rest, it's not too late to clean up this bowl tomorrow morning." ”
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone."
Su Zhiyuan was really hungry, accompanied by his father-in-law, patronized and drank, and there was no stock in his stomach.
After a bowl of noodles, I felt that I had come to life.
Banxia scooped a spoonful of noodle soup and put it in front of Su Zhiyuan: "This soup is delicious, fresh but not greasy, good, try it." ”
took a sip of Banxia's spoon: "It's delicious." ”
The noodle soup in the Banxia bowl bottomed out in one bite and one bite of me: "Xianggong, did you say that Jin Gongzi received the letter?" ”
At the beginning, Su Zhiyuan sent two letters at the same time, one was for the emperor, and the other was for Jin Zizhen, in which he mentioned the matter of opening a restaurant in Qianzhou.
The polarization in Qianzhou is particularly serious, the rich are very rich, and the poor cannot even afford to eat.
Opening a restaurant in Qianzhou can not only give a small number of people a stable job, but also facilitate Su Zhiyuan to pass on news to King Jin through business contacts.
"The letter was sent out at the same time, counting the days, the son should have really arrived."
"Xianggong is saying that he has arrived in Qianzhou?"
Su Zhiyuan nodded: "After the father-in-law leaves tomorrow, it is estimated that he will come." ”
Sure enough, after Su Zhiyuan sent off his father-in-law Xi on the second day, as soon as he returned to the Zhizhou Mansion, he saw a man in white standing in front of the mansion, smiling gently, and shaking the jade fan in his hand in this cold and windy weather: "Brother-in-law, sister-in-law." ””
"When did Brother Zizhen come to Qianzhou? Sit in the fast house. Su Zhiyuan smiled.
"I arrived yesterday, and when I saw that my brother-in-law had something to do, I didn't dare to disturb him."
The two entered the main hall, and Banxia instructed the maid to serve tea and snacks.
Jin Zi's mantra is back to business: "Yesterday I went around the city, there was a good shop in Mong Kok, and it happened that the owner was also going to sell the shop, and I saw that the price was not expensive, so I bought it directly." ”
Banxia raised his eyebrows: It's fast enough!
Su Zhiyuan said: "Business things are really hard. ”
"It's all a family, what's not hard."
"Daddy, little sister, how are they?"
"It's all good," a hint of tenderness flashed in Jin Zizhen's eyes, "My little sister is pregnant, more than two months." ”
"Great! I'll have to write some precautions for pregnancy in a while, and when you go back to the capital, I'll help bring them back to my little sister. The two dimples at the corners of Banxia's mouth loomed.
"I'm tired of my sister-in-law."
……
September has been particularly busy this year.
Jin Zizhen was busy decorating the shop and promoting it everywhere, and Banxia helped a lot from it, and many of the ladies who came to Banxia to play cards knew that a restaurant was about to open in Mong Kok, which contained their long-awaited red wine mask.
When many Qianzhou officials knew that the person behind the restaurant was Su Zhiyuan, they were waiting for the opening day to buy more wine and put it at home, who would let go of such a good opportunity to give gifts in disguise!
Su Zhiyuan has not been idle these days, the project of Fushougou fell on his shoulders, he had to arrange everything one by one, he got up before dawn every day, and he had not come back in the middle of the month, and everyone was emaciated.
The people were all boiling when they saw the notices posted by the government.
"What does it say? Why are you so happy? An old man asked, pulling a middle-aged man.
"It says that Qianzhou built Fushougou, and it was necessary to recruit strong men, four hundred and fifty wen a month, and also included a Chinese meal!"
"Four hundred and fifty wen! That's a lot! The old man's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, "Official, I want to sign up, I want to sign up." ”
