Chapter 220: A Chance Encounter at a Dinner
Madame, I don't understand this little one. ”
Xiao Gong pointed to the place where Liu Meiniang drew the entrance and exit of the supermarket on the drawing.
Liu Meiniang explained to Xiao Gong. This shop is much larger than that of Qingshi County, so Liu Meiniang came directly according to the appearance of a modern supermarket, and built the exit and entrance directly.
"I see, that's wonderful."
Liu Meiniang smiled slightly, in fact, ancient craftsmen are infinitely wise, such as many things left to modern times, modern people will be amazed.
The reason why Xiao Gong was surprised by Liu Meiniang's drawings was that Liu Meiniang had moved modern things here, so they felt that the design was very powerful.
There is basically no problem with the supermarket, Liu Meiniang took the two maids to the location of the hot pot restaurant again, it is a coincidence, when this store was originally opened, this was originally a restaurant open, but the owner of the restaurant wanted to travel far away, so he sold the store, which happened to be touched by Liu Meiniang.
Liu Meiniang also felt that she was lucky, the hot pot restaurant is also a small second floor, Liu Meiniang let the decoration inside all be red, red can make people's appetite high, and it looks prosperous, and it is also very festive.
Liu Meiniang also added chili seedlings to the vegetables she planted this year.
When he sent it to Zhuangzi before, Steward Fang was still puzzled about what kind of seedling it was, and the person who sent the seedlings told Steward Fang that it was Hongjian'er, although Steward Fang didn't understand why Liu Meiniang wanted to plant this thing, but he still obeyed the order to plant it.
The opening of the hot pot restaurant may be delayed, because it is necessary to wait for the red tips in the field to fully mature, and it is okay to use the chili peppers grown in the space, but suddenly there are so many of them, Liu Meiniang is afraid of being suspected.
Anyway, it will take ten days and half a month to renovate the supermarket and hot pot restaurant, and Liu Meiniang is not in a hurry, so she simply lets them develop slowly.
When it was time to eat at the agreed meal with Nie Changfeng and Xue Wuyi, Liu Meiniang went home to take a shower and change her clothes, and went out with Zhang Jilin.
I don't know why, the longer I spend with Zhang Jilin, Liu Meiniang feels that Zhang Jilin is really too naïve, and she has to wear clothes of the same color with her, otherwise she won't go out.
In the end, Zhang Jirin herself wore a purple dress, Liu Meiniang wore a set of purple pink clothes with purple auspicious cloud embroidery patterns, covered by a layer of tulle outside, or the same Ming lady dress, Liu Meiniang likes the clothes of the Ming Dynasty very much, so she also wears some Ming Dynasty style folding clothes on weekdays.
The two looked like a perfect match when they stood together.
Zhang Jihan, Zhang Tongtong, and Zhang Dandan have already packed up, originally Zhang Jirin didn't want Zhang Dandan to go, they must drink when they go, Zhang Dandan is still young, but Liu Meiniang doesn't think so, the children of this era are very precocious, and Zhang Dandan doesn't know anything. It's a big deal to sit and only eat, and don't drink.
After all, we still have to let them go out and have a look, and we can't keep the children locked in the house all the time.
And Zhang Tongtong is already thirteen years old, and the thirteen-year-old girls in the capital have also begun to discuss marriage, not to mention Zhang Jihan, if Xue Wuyi is here, he will definitely say that when he was thirteen years old, he jumped up and down everywhere, turning the capital over, and he went to any restaurant, teahouse, and even brothels.
Of course, Liu Meiniang would not allow Zhang Jihan to go the same way as Xue Wuyi at that time.
Since Zhang Jihan quit gambling two years ago, even if the family has money in the past two years, Zhang Jihan has also had a considerable amount of money, and Zhang Jihan has never gambled again, so Liu Meiniang is still full of confidence in Zhang Jihan.
So the two of them took all three children with them. Besides, Nie Changfeng also said on the post that he would bring his younger brothers and sisters over, Nie Changfeng's younger brothers and sisters are probably about the same age as Zhang Jihan, and they can play together when they are brought over. Looking at Nie Changfeng's personality, he also knows that his younger brothers and sisters are definitely not far behind.
When they arrived at the agreed place, in the Tianxiang Building, Xiao Er stepped forward to welcome a few people in.
"Mr. Zhang, madam, ladies and gentlemen, Xue Gongzi has ordered, just wait for a few people in Linyuan Pavilion on the second floor." Tianxianglou is also a famous restaurant in the capital, the consumption is high-end, ordinary people basically can't come here, and most of the people who can come here to consume are some princes and nobles and rich people.
The second boss here is also very eye-catching, and people in the capital can basically recognize it, so Zhang Jilin took Liu Meiniang into the gate, and the second child could greet him and accurately tell Zhang Jirin's identity.
However, this industry is not under Xue Wuyi's name, nor is it Nie Changfeng and Zhang Jirin's.
Zhang Jirin nodded towards Xiao Er, and the other Xiao Er took a few people upstairs. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Xue Wuyi's laughter.
"Hey, Brother Ji Rin, sister-in-law, you're here."
Nie Changfeng was facing the position of the door, and he saw several people at a glance, and Xue Wuyi turned around and stood up.
Today, Nie Changfeng is wearing a black and red dress, and the whole person is very energetic, while Xue Wuyi is still wearing a light blue brocade robe, dressed as a noble son.
Several people greeted each other and sat down.
Nie Changfeng brought his twelve-year-old sister Nie Changyun and fourteen-year-old brother Nie Chang'an. The five children talked together in a few words, Nie Changfeng simply waved his hand, asked for a private room next door, and let the five children go to play next door.
Zhang Jirin asked Tianheng to follow and looked at the five children.
There were only four people left in the private room, including Liu Meiniang.
"Sister-in-law, take a look at some of the dishes, the dishes in Xianglou are not bad this day, although they are not as good as those made by my sister-in-law, I can barely taste them."
Nie Changfeng handed the menu to Liu Meiniang, and Liu Meiniang smiled embarrassedly.
glanced at the menu of Tianxianglou, and was slightly surprised, but it was not because of the dishes of Tianxianglou, but because of the price, a sour and hot shredded potato costs six yuan of silver, and a steamed worm, that is, a crab costs three taels of silver, why not grab it.
If this is placed in Qingshi County, no one will come to eat a penny of silver. In fact, I don't blame Liu Meiniang for being surprised, potatoes and sandwich worms are the way to eat that has only recently been transmitted, there were no two dishes before, everyone is naturally willing to spend money in order to try it, and no one in the capital is bad for money.
Liu Meiniang looked at the menu with a tangled face, flipped through it, and finally stopped worrying about the price, and ordered a few signature dishes of Tianxianglou that she had not eaten.
"Brother Ji Rin, it's the Dragon King Banquet in two days, you have to get busy."
Nie Changfeng pinched a peanut and threw it into his mouth and said with a smile.
"Dragon King's Banquet?"
Liu Meiniang asked suspiciously.
"Sister-in-law doesn't know yet, every four years there is a Dragon King Banquet, and during the Dragon King Banquet, envoys from other countries will come to Daqi, in order to pull in the relationship between several countries, it is also an exchange."
Nie Changfeng explained to Liu Meiniang. Liu Meiniang nodded, although the relationship between Daqi and Beirong, Southern Xinjiang, Xiling and some surrounding areas is not very good, but it still has to pass on the bright side.
So even if the fighting between the countries is in dire straits, the Dragon King Banquet will still be held. Not only to hold it, but also to do its due diligence as the organizer of the Dragon King Banquet.
Each Dragon King Feast will have a match between the four nations, and the winning country will sign an agreement with the losing country. The competition is both civil and martial.
Liu Meiniang is indeed interested in this Dragon King Banquet, but also, Zhang Jilin is the General Department of the Imperial Forest Army in the capital, and he must be busy during the Dragon King Banquet.
"Sister-in-law, you also have to participate in the Dragon King banquet, but Brother Ji Rin should be busy at that time, it doesn't matter that Wuyi and I are also here."
Nie Changfeng thought that Liu Meiniang was worried that Zhang Jilin was not there during the Dragon King banquet, and she couldn't cope with it alone, so she kindly reminded her.
"Thank you, Changfeng." Liu Meiniang smiled and said.
"There are still many interesting places in the capital, if you are bored at home alone, you can give it to me...... Say hello to Changfeng and we'll take you out for a walk. "Last time I said goodbye to the palace, Liu Meiniang never saw Xue Wuyi again, this time I saw Xue Wuyi, it seemed that Xue Wuyi was even more silent, and it took a long time to say such a sentence.
"Okay, but my supermarket and hot pot restaurant are about to open, so I shouldn't be idle recently." Liu Meiniang said simply.
"Huh, hot pot restaurant?" Xue Wuyi grasped the important words. He knows about the supermarket, if Liu Meiniang opens the supermarket in the capital, she will indeed make a lot of money, but what this hot pot restaurant is, Xue Wuyi doesn't know yet.
"It's a place to eat." Liu Meiniang thought for a while and explained.
"Is this really okay?" Nie Changfeng was a little unconvinced, which restaurant only made one kind of food.
"That's it, the day after tomorrow, you come to my house, and we'll cook hot pot and eat." Theory is theory after all, and it still has to be practiced, it just so happened that this time it was Nie Changfeng and Xue Wuyi who picked them up and invited them to dinner, and Liu Meiniang directly invited the two to their home again and cooked hot pot in return.
"That's what you said, and you can't deny it." Xue Wuyi was the first to applaud after listening to Liu Meiniang's words. Looking at Zhang Jirin's slightly sinking face on the side, Xue Wuyi's heart was happy.
"Then disturb my sister-in-law." Nie Changfeng is naturally not as presumptuous as Xue Wuyi, firstly, he and Zhang Jirin and Liu Meiniang met later, and secondly, although he has a bold personality, he is really not as unruly and unruly as Xue Wuyi.
Soon the dishes came up, a table was steaming, it looked really good, Zhang Jirin took the lead in clipping a chopstick to Liu Meiniang.
"Not bad." Liu Meiniang hooked her lips and smiled at Zhang Jilin after eating, the level of the chef in Tianxianglou is still okay, a simple dish of tofu is very chic, and her lips and teeth are fragrant after eating.
"Mei Niang, try this dish, this is the signature dish of Tianxianglou." Xue Wuyi pointed to the roast suckling pig in the middle. Liu Meiniang grabbed a pair of chopsticks, which was really delicious, almost no different from modern ones.
A few people were eating, there was a commotion outside the box, and there was even Zhang Jihan's voice, and the four of them looked at each other, it should be an accident.
