Murong Baotong pouted, "You also underestimate our palace!" She said.

Li Tao said: "There is something to make money, why don't you call me?" ”

He listened for a long time and heard a little meaning, and after asking, he learned that a few girls wanted to open a restaurant together, so he also wanted to participate, how much money he made was secondary, just for a while.

Zheng Hao listened to them carefully, and then said: "If I open a boiled fish restaurant in Jinan Mansion, are you willing to give it to the chef and the shopkeeper?" ”

"I can give you the chef and the shopkeeper, and I want to give me 50% of the restaurant's profit." Ruoxue said.

When Murong Baotong said that he wanted to open a restaurant together, Ruohong suggested that Ruoxue let the chef of the boiled fish restaurant bring a few more apprentices, so that although it would increase the cost of personnel, it could store talents, and they could be used when the time came to open a branch.

Then there won't be a situation where no one is available.

Ruoxue took her suggestion, not only to let Ma honestly accept apprentices, but also to let the chefs of the other two restaurants also bring a few more apprentices, which can be regarded as a talent reserve.

Zheng Hao understood what she meant, this is a partnership business, he has been to the boiled fish restaurant twice, not only the name of the restaurant is very chic, but the boiled fish is also good.

Suitable for the taste of northerners, the fresh and spicy taste is irresistible! Eating a meal of boiled fish in winter can not only ward off the cold but also satisfy the appetite.

Zheng Hao nodded and was about to agree, but was stopped by Li Tao.

"You don't even call me when you make money, it's too boring!" Li Tao took a fan and lit Zheng Hao and Murong Baotong, and said: "You two go out of the restaurant, and her family goes out of the staff, then I will give out the silver!" I have silver, and when the time comes, the restaurant will make money and give me a share. ”

Ruohong giggled, "Okay, good! You bring the silver, we will divide it first, wait for the restaurant to make money, and then give you the profit. She said.

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

Ruoxian was also laughing, but not as happy as the others, she felt like she was a superfluous existence and shouldn't stay here.

She felt isolated, with an invisible wall in front of her that prevented her from moving forward.

But she didn't dare to leave, because it would be disrespectful to the guests and leave a bad impression.

Ruoxian lowered her head and fiddled with a handkerchief, and looked up at the people in the room from time to time, indicating that she had listened carefully to what they were saying.

Li Tao also laughed with everyone for a while, and said: "What's wrong with this, you can do whatever you like, just don't forget my share when the time comes." ”

Murong Baotong said with a smile: "Okay! Give us the money first. ”

Li Tao smiled, and really asked people to go back to get the silver ticket.

Zheng Hao and Ruoxue talked about the general details of opening the restaurant, and asked Ruoxue when the chef and shopkeeper would be in place, and he fortunately had a number in his heart.

Ruoxue said: "The shopkeeper is there, the chef is still in the professor, and it will be at least August before I can give it to you." ”

Zheng Hao thought for a moment, "In this way, it can be opened in September, and it is not too late." He said.

A few people said a few more business things, and Li Tao changed his tone and asked, "I heard that your ship burned near Tengzhou, what happened?" Did someone do it? ”

Murong Baotong also remembered that Li Tao had told her this, so she asked Ruoxue with concern if she had any enemies, and if she couldn't find it, she would wait for her to go back to the capital and ask her father to investigate.

Ruoxue shook her head to indicate that she had no enemies, and said, "It should be the mistake of the people on the ship that ignited the silk on the ship." ”

Murong Baotong didn't believe her words, looked at her suspiciously, looked at Ruohong on the side, and saw that she was also calm, so he said, "That's fine." ”

Zheng Hao looked at Ruoxue, and always felt that she was hiding a lot of things, and he had a feeling in his heart that the fire was set by her, "You let you set the fire on the boat, right?" He said.

His words were tantamount to a stone thrown into the Pinghu Lake, and everyone in shock looked at him in unison, and quickly looked at Ruoxue.

Ruoxue took a sip of the tea cup elegantly, without pausing or hesitating because of Zheng Hao's words, she raised her head and didn't look at everyone, and said to Zheng Hao with a smile: "In this case, do you believe what you say?" ”

Zheng Hao also smiled and said, "It's really hard to be convinced. ”

In the evening, the mourners dispersed, and the second master Mei Jishan and the third master Mei Jitan left Ruoxue to talk, mainly because Mei Jitan wanted to know about the gambling contract and the fact that the silk was burned.

Mrs. Cao just passed away yesterday, and the family was busy for a day, so they really didn't have time to ask about these things.

On several futons on the ground of the mourning hall, Mei Jishan and Mei Jitan sat down, and behind them were Mei Zhiyuan and Mei Zhigao.

Ruoxue and her maids, Rice Pearl and Bow Moon, knelt opposite them.

Mei Jitan opened his mouth to ask about the burning of silk, and he also learned about it in the past two days, and knew that Ruoxue asked people to load silk from Hangzhou and transport it to the north.

He didn't understand the point of Ruoxue doing this.

Ruoxue didn't mean anything else, she just wanted to move the mountains that pressed on the Jiangnan silk weaving workshop, so that they didn't have to worry about it, and weaved the same amount of silk brocade as in previous years.

Mei Jitan asked: "How much silk has been burned, and how much is it worth?" Are there any injuries to the personnel? ”

"I burned silk worth 180,000 taels of silver, and I don't know how much people were injured." Ruoxue said.

Mei Jishan gasped and said, "So much? Who went to escort it? When you come back, you must be severely punished. ”

Ruoxue said that it was sent by Fang in and pressed, and as for the punishment, it will be decided depending on the situation at that time.

Mei Jitan was not as surprised as Mei Jishan, but his eyebrows still couldn't help jumping, he looked at Ruoxue and said, "What did you say to A-Niang last yesterday?" A-Niang smiled and left. ”

Ruoxue pursed her lips, "I said to Grandma: It's okay, the bet was won." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"If the silk that is falling under the pressure is burned, the silk will slowly rise, and the bet will be won!"

"Can you earn it back?" He said.

The corners of Ruoxue's mouth rose and said, "Half of the Huang family's family business should be much more than this." ”

Mei Zhiyuan said, "Didn't the bet contract say that at the end of the year, the silk rose to more than sixty taels before our family won?"

Now there are five or six months before the Chinese New Year, and the current price of silk is only 38 taels of silver, can it rise to more than 60 taels by the end of the year? ”

"Do you know why the Duan family in the capital bought the silk in Jiangnan?" Ruoxue looked at Mei Zhiyuan and said.

Mei Zhiyuan was choked by her question, how could he know what was going on in other people's stomachs, "You know? He asked.
