In the next few days, Liu Meiniang didn't have time to go out for tea with Xiao Ru Fangyao, because Liu Meiniang's hot pot restaurant and supermarket were about to open.

Hot pot restaurant Liu Meiniang nominated Zhang Ji hot pot restaurant, and the supermarket is still Zhangjia supermarket.

Liu Meiniang's hot pot restaurant is divided into two floors, using the traditional old hot pot method, each table is placed on a copper pot, and the copper pot can be eaten with a carbon fire.

The hot pot ingredients were prepared by Liu Meiniang herself, and the taste was not bad, and the Zhang family had eaten them several times before this.

The chili peppers in the spatial spiritual spring have long been ripe, and they look red as far as the eye can see, and the chili peppers planted on the Zhuangzi in the suburbs are almost the same.

Liu Meiniang directly dried all the chili peppers, ground them into powder, and then added peppercorns, star anise, ginger, cinnamon, etc. to make a hot pot base.

However, when it came to the pricing of hot pot dishes, Liu Meiniang was a little embarrassed, and finally converted it slightly according to the modern pricing, such as 20 yuan for a plate of green vegetables, 300 yuan for a plate of beef, 400 yuan for a plate of mutton, and 1 penny for two crabs.

If this price is placed in Qingshi County, it is sky-high, but in the capital, it is already very close to the people, and the consumption level of the capital is already high, just like the Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in the previous life, so such a price is not expensive at all in the eyes of the people of the capital, and it is more affordable than a plate of shredded potatoes in Tianxianglou.

Liu Meiniang also launched a discount business, as long as you spend five taels of silver, you can enjoy a nine-percent discount, ten taels of silver and eighty-fold discount, and so on.

Because of the cheap price, not only the children of noble families in the capital can come to the hot pot restaurant to eat, but even the common people can occasionally come to eat a few meals, after all, a table full is less than five taels of silver, who doesn't want to come.

On the day the hot pot restaurant opened, Liu Meiniang actually received congratulatory gifts from many people, not only Xue Wuyi, Nie Changfeng, Xiao Jingyi, Xiao Jingxuan, Xiao Ru Fang Yao, but also the Seven Princes and Xiao Yuyan.

The first two Liu Meiniang can understand, Xiao Yuyan and the Seventh Prince Liu Meiniang are a little puzzled, these two people, one hates her to death, and the other has no intersection at all, the congratulatory gift is incomprehensible, but because the store is too busy to open, Liu Meiniang will forget about this matter first.

"Welcome to Zhang Ji hot pot restaurant, today the store opens, everyone who eats in the store today, will be half price, and the next month, there are all kinds of discounts in the store, everyone is welcome to taste."

Zhang Jihan stood at the gate and said excitedly. Liu Meiniang also smiled.

After the firecrackers were finished, the crowd of onlookers rushed into the hot pot restaurant, and Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan didn't expect that there would be so many people.

"Sister-in-law, there are too many people today," Zhang Dandan said sneeringly, holding Liu Meiniang's hand.

"It's more than I expected."

Liu Meiniang was also a little surprised.

In the hot pot restaurant, the runners in the same clothes were busy off the ground. Weave through the crowd.

These guys who run the hall have been trained in advance, and they are already very proficient in the various businesses of the hot pot restaurant, hot pot is a new thing, and people who come to eat hot pot basically don't know how to start.

Even so, there was still a large group of people waiting outside the hot pot restaurant.

In order to give everyone the best impression of the hot pot restaurant, Liu Meiniang also thoughtfully placed a row of stools at the door of the hot pot restaurant and let the waiting people sit on the stools. And also sent melon seeds snacks, those people can eat while waiting.

This kind of service is somewhat similar to Haidilao, maybe people here don't understand what service means, but whoever goes to eat will also like better service, and the same is true for shopping.

Seeing that the guests were eating with relish, Liu Meiniang also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, she had not worked in vain in the past two days.

There were two people sitting on the second floor opposite, it was Xiao Yuyan and Yu Mingyue.

"What did you tell me to come here for?" Xiao Yuyan didn't have the slightest good impression of Yu Mingyue, especially Yu Mingyue openly provoked Daqi in the main hall, although Xiao Yuyan was jealous and hated Liu Meiniang before, but when Liu Meiniang won Yu Mingyue and earned face for Daqi, Xiao Yuyan's hostility towards Liu Meiniang was a little less.

Therefore, when I heard that Liu Meiniang's store was open, Xiao Ru sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, and Xiao Yuyan also sent someone to send a congratulatory gift.

And today, it was Yu Mingyue who had to pester Xiao Yuyan out. After the envoys came, they would live in a special post house, waiting for the upcoming Dragon King banquet, during this time they were very idle, and they didn't know what Yu Mingyue thought, so they went directly to Emperor Changping and asked the county lord of Shaoyang and the third princess to accompany him, after all, only the county lord of Shaoyang and the third princess were not married in the capital, although the fourth princess, the fifth princess and the sixth princess did not, but the age was a little young, so Yu Mingyue did not consider other people directly.

Moreover, there are only these two people who have come into contact with Liu Meiniang. However, Xiao Ru was very smart, and she shirked this matter after picking an excuse, and Xiao Yuyan was not so lucky, so she could only follow Yu Mingyue out shopping in the name of being a companion.

Unexpectedly, Yu Mingyue directly pulled her to the opposite side of Liu Meiniang's hot pot restaurant.

"The third princess don't be impatient, let's sit here for a while and go back, I just heard that Miss Liu's new store has opened, so I'm curious, so I'm just coming to take a look."

Yu Mingyue did not hide her purpose, after listening to Yu Mingyue's words, Xiao Yuyan snorted angrily, just look at it, and pull her along.

"I heard that Emperor Changping gave Zhang Jirin the marriage of the third princess before, but Zhang Jirin refused?" Yu Mingyue drank a glass of fruit wine and continued.

"Nothing." Xiao Yuyan quickly denied it.

She didn't want to admit such a shameful thing, and besides, she couldn't get used to Yu Mingyue, how could she reveal her heart to Yu Mingyue.

"Oh? The third princess is not embarrassed, you just treat Mingyue as your own sister. According to what Mingyue saw, that Liu Meiniang was not as good-looking as the princess, nor was the princess Jingui, Zhang Jirin rejected the princess, which was his loss. Yu Mingyue said with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Xiao Yuyan did not respond to Yu Mingyue's words.

"From ancient times to the present, men have always had three wives and four concubines, if the princess really likes Zhang Jirin, she should fight for it." Yu Mingyue continued to persuade.

Xiao Yuyan glanced at Yu Mingyue and looked out the window again, but still didn't speak.

Yu Mingyue was a little discouraged, how could this Xiao Yuyan not get in the oil and salt.

Yu Mingyue also fell in love with Zhang Jilin, but of course a smart woman would not do anything to rob someone else's husband directly, so Yu Mingyue set her sights on Xiao Yuyan.

wants to turn Xiao Yuyan into a chess piece in her hand.

"Princess, I can help you." Yu Mingyue gritted her teeth and said the last bargaining chip.

Sure enough, Xiao Yuyan turned her head when she heard Yu Mingyue's words.

"How can you help me?" Xiao Yuyan asked. In fact, Xiao Yuyan's heart was also contradictory, she wanted to give up, but she was also a little unwilling, and when she heard Yu Mingyue say this, she subconsciously asked.

"If the princess is willing, Mingyue has a way to help the princess." Yu Mingyue leaned close to Xiao Yuyan's ear and whispered.

After listening to Yu Mingyue's words, Xiao Yuyan was stunned for a while.

"How can this be! This will not work! Xiao Yuyan seemed to be very excited, and decisively refused, with a suspicious flush on her face.

"Princess, if you do this, Zhang Jilin can still marry you, when the time comes, you will be a princess, no matter what, Liu Meiniang can't refuse. Besides, the third princess, I am the saintess of Southern Xinjiang, and this method is absolutely foolproof. ”

"I know, you woman didn't have any good intentions, this princess won't, you sit alone, I'm leaving." Xiao Yuyan said indignantly and got up and left directly.

Yu Mingyue looked at Xiao Yuyan's distant back, and a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth.

"Holy Maiden, these three princesses ......," a maid next to her asked with some concern.

"She's not going to say it, just look, she'll come back to me soon." Yu Mingyue said very confidently.

And Liu Meiniang didn't know anything about all this, it was almost midnight, and the hot pot restaurant finally sent away the last batch of customers, whether it was the shopkeeper or the juniors, they were tired enough this day.

But thankfully, the hot pot restaurant made a lot of money in the first day it opened.

The next day, Liu Meiniang was shocked when she got the account of the hot pot restaurant.

The supermarket is similar to the hot pot restaurant, and from yesterday's opening to today, there are a lot of people coming.

However, the supermarket is not perfect enough, at least it will take some time for the fish raised in the rice fields to grow up, so the fish in Liu Meiniang's supermarket are all bought from other fishmongers.

There is basically no problem with the method of raising fish in the rice field, so Liu Meiniang asked Zhang Jirin to hand this method into the palace and hand it over to Emperor Changping.

This can not only increase the yield of rice, but also raise fatty rice and fish, the best of both worlds for the benefit of the people, of course Emperor Changping is very happy, and Ping Pong gave Liu Meiniang a lot of things.

Moreover, after some old scholars of the Agriculture and Forestry Institute in the palace knew about this, they ran out of the palace to the general secretary's mansion one after another, just to ask Liu Meiniang some questions.

Liu Meiniang is a person who has opened a plug-in, and it is not too difficult to deal with it, besides, she was also a graduate student in her previous life, so she knows a lot of things, and she really communicated with these old scholars.

The old scholars returned to the palace satisfied, and Liu Meiniang told them everything she knew, and there were still some things she didn't understand. Including the dike-pond agriculture method carried out in Qingshi County, a few old scholars immediately decided to go to Qingshi County to see what was going on, and entered the palace to ask for the holy decree.

Liu Meiniang is still busy with her own affairs, going to the store from time to time, researching some new things from time to time, thinking that if the hot pot restaurant and supermarket have good profits, Liu Meiniang is also ready to open some other shops, such as milk tea shops, such as cosmetics stores, but she has not yet researched these things, and she will definitely not be able to start for a while.

Liu Meiniang yawned when she thought about it, she always felt sleepy recently, and she slept as soon as she touched the pillow, and every night Zhang Jilin came back, looking at Liu Meiniang's sleeping appearance, she couldn't bear to wake up Liu Meiniang again, so she could only sleep pitifully holding Liu Meiniang.

However, Liu Meiniang recently found that the meat bun is also a little abnormal, not as lively as before, and now she spends most of her time by Liu Meiniang's side, looking at Liu Meiniang quietly, and sometimes tiptoeing on Liu Meiniang.

made Liu Meiniang very puzzled, could it be that the meat bun was looking for a daughter-in-law? Because once before Zhang Jirin said that the meat bun is public.

Liu Meiniang really thought about this matter seriously.

Where to find a daughter-in-law for a meat bun? Liu Meiniang is afraid that she still has to count on Zhang Jilin for this matter. Liu Meiniang thought about it and fell asleep again.
