Looks like I really underestimated this place. ”

Qian Qianqian took a sip of tea and responded lightly, as if she was thinking about something in her heart, and she was slightly distracted.

"Did you find the store I asked you to find?" Xiao Mohan asked, glancing at Shao Huaigu lightly, his thin lips pursed, and there was a hint of mystery in his deep eyes.

"I've found three places, and the locations are all quite suitable, but I don't know which one you are more satisfied with."

Shao Huaigu put down the tea cup in his hand and took out a drawing from his sleeve, it was nothing else, it was the location of those stores.

Xiao Mohan stretched out his hand to take it, but after a few glances, he handed it to Qian Qianqian.

"Look, what's your favorite? Or do you like them all? ”

Although Qian Qianqian is not familiar with the environment of the capital, the drawings are very detailed, and the advantages and disadvantages of each store are clearly marked, which shows that the person who drew the drawing has really wasted a lot of thought.

"These three stores are all in the bustling downtown area, and they are very close to the grain store or something, the biggest difference is that these two places are places where ordinary people gather, and this one is surrounded by many officials and nobles."

Qian Qianqian thought carefully and said that if her hot pot restaurant wants to become bigger, it must not only cater to the tastes of ordinary people, but also make it recognized by dignitaries and nobles.

But those dignitaries and nobles are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and ordinary ingredients can't get into their eyes at all, and Qian Qianqian can't afford to buy those rare ingredients for the time being, and eating hot pot is not suitable for things like shark fin bird's nest.

So this made Qian Qianqian embarrassed, she couldn't give up the market of ordinary people, and she wanted to slowly open the eyes of high-ranking officials and nobles, which was undoubtedly very troublesome.

"It's better to have these three stores, two of them open hot pot restaurants, this one will open a pickle shop, if you want to continue to grow bigger in the future, I will help you open a branch."

Xiao Mohan didn't quite understand the doorway in this business, but he knew that Qian Qianqian was very interested in these three stores, anyway, it was nothing to him, since he was going to open a store, let Qian Qianqian let go without any worries.

"No, although my hot pot restaurant has a good business in Lianzhou City, I don't know the taste of the people in the capital, and I can't say that my hot pot is not liked by the people of the capital at all, so I want to cooperate with the big restaurants in the capital first, introduce my hot pot restaurant, recommend it to those people, try the water, if the response is not bad, I will open one in this place where the ordinary people gather, if the response is mediocre, then there is no need for such a good store."

Although Xiao Mohan's idea is good, Qian Qianqian is still sensible, she doesn't want Xiao Mohan to spend unnecessary money, and doing business is not enough to succeed.

"That's no problem, as long as you want, these restaurants under my name are happy to serve."

Shao Huaigu nodded quickly, without the slightest hesitation, he couldn't help with anything else, but he had a lot of experience in doing business.

"Then thank you Lord Shao, but I still have to sign a contract with the adult, explaining that the skill of making hot pot belongs to me, and I cooperate with you, but I am temporarily authorized to use it for you, the period is one month, as long as the deadline is up, then all the restaurants under your name can no longer launch hot pot, or dishes related to hot pot."

Qian Qianqian bowed slightly, and then changed her words, and said very firmly, her clear eyes showed a hint of vigilance, and sure enough, no matter what time she was, she kept a hand in secret.

"Miss Qian is really smart and business-minded, no wonder she can have several of her own shops in Lianzhou City at a young age."

When Shao Huaigu heard this, he and Xiao Mohan looked at each other, a faint smile appeared on their faces, and they nodded one after another, their eyes full of affirmation.

"So, my lord agreed?" Qian Qianqian's face did not change, she just wanted to implement the hot pot restaurant as soon as possible, and she didn't want anything else.

"This is natural, with General Xiao here, I just don't want to agree, I'm afraid I don't have a chance."

Shao Huaigu glanced at Xiao Mohan meaningfully, thinking that before, this was the first time that Xiao Mohan had brought a woman to him, and sure enough, the people who could enter Xiao Mohan's eyes were by no means ordinary.

"Then we will make up our minds, I came in a hurry today and didn't prepare anything, and I will draw up the contract tomorrow and send it to you."

Qian Qianqian did not relax at all, and her words were unfounded, in case Shao Huaigu repented, wouldn't it be bad, so it was better to hurry up and get this matter done.

"You can keep the remaining two storefronts as well, and they will be useful sooner or later anyway."

Xiao Mohan lifted his thin lips lightly, and said lightly, as if this store was just like the pebbles outside, worthless, and it was just a matter of words.

"The rent of the store in the capital should be much more expensive than that in Lianzhou City."

Qian Qianqian was thoughtful, her eyebrows frowned slightly, whether it is ancient or modern, this property is the most valuable thing, even the rent of the state city was not cheap before, isn't this capital even more rising?

"I bought these storefronts a long time ago, and this is the title deed, and from now on, you will be their owner."

Xiao Mohan quietly took out a few house deeds and handed them to Qian Qianqian, this store was carefully selected by him for Shao Huaigu, and he specially ordered to come to Shao Huaigu, if he came across a store with a fixed location, he would buy it, and the silver would not be a problem.

Qian Qianqian looked at these house deeds, and was both happy and surprised, this is the capital, and a house should cost thousands of taels of silver, but now she has three inexplicably, and they are all storefronts, which makes her unbelievable.

Unexpectedly, she couldn't afford to buy a house in modern times, so she could only rent a house to live, and she suddenly traveled to ancient times, and she actually became a little rich woman, and life is really a little interesting.

"Then you're welcome."

Qian Qianqian put away the deed, raised her red lips lightly, looked at Xiao Mohan and blinked, this house that fell from the sky should not be in vain, it is a big deal to wait for her to make money in business in the future, and then return the silver to Xiao Mohan.

"Although I have a lot of shops under my hands, I never come forward to negotiate business with the merchants in the capital, so Miss Qian, if you need someone to help you in your business in the future, come to the shopkeeper of this restaurant, and the shopkeeper often comes forward to negotiate with those merchants for me, knowing where the rice grain is the cheapest, and which one's vegetables and meat are the most affordable."

Shao Huaigu slowly raised his eyes and explained unhurriedly, Qian Qianqian wants to open a hot pot restaurant, and he can be regarded as a peer, Qian Qianqian is not familiar with life in the capital, so she naturally needs someone to guide her.

"I see, thank you Lord Shao."

Qian Qianqian nodded slightly, knowing the reason why Shao Huaigu did this, so she didn't ask much.

"It's not early now, today's lunch, we will use it at your place, it just so happens that your dishes here are also the signature dishes of the capital, make a few more dishes for Qianqian to taste."

Xiao Mohan turned his face slightly sideways, looked out the window, and seemed to propose casually, but invisibly fulfilled Qian Qianqian's wish.

In fact, Qian Qianqian just wanted to taste authentic Beijing dishes, but the cooks in the general's mansion were all from Lianzhou, and she couldn't make that taste, and she never had a chance to leave the mansion, so this idea has been shelved.

"I have already let the back kitchen prepare, General Xiao is rare to come, and Miss Qian has never been to the capital, so I will have to entertain you well."

Shao Huaigu is a delicate person, and since he received Xiao Mohan's news, he has prepared everything properly.

It didn't take long for the dishes to be presented, and each dish was a special delicacy of the capital, just looking at it made people greedy, but they didn't know how it tasted.

"The Beijing cuisine made by the chefs here is the most authentic, you can taste more, if you like it, I will bring all the chefs here back to the General's Mansion."

As soon as Xiao Mohan's words fell, Shao Huaigu became dissatisfied.

"Even the cook you have to rob me, if you want, the imperial chef in the palace can take it back to the general's mansion, if the chef in my restaurant goes with you, what else will you take out to entertain guests every day?"

Shao Huaigu glanced at Xiao Mohan, and his tone was a little sour, all along, as long as Xiao Mohan came to the capital, no matter what he saw, he would not hesitate to leave, and carefully calculated, from before to now, Xiao Mohan had robbed him of a lot of things.

"Aren't they just a few chefs? Do you feel distressed? ”

Xiao Mohan disagreed, tasted the dish, and asked lightly.

"These cooks have been carefully selected by me, I don't know how much effort it took me, and you are suddenly about to leave me, I naturally feel distressed."

Shao Huaigu looked reluctant, and his originally somewhat weak face was also ruddy, but he was still thin and weak compared to Xiao Mohan.

"The taste of these dishes is really good, but I still prefer the Lianzhou taste."

Seeing this, Qian Qianqian explained with a speech, so that Xiao Mohan had no reason to ask Shao Huaigu for a cook.

Shao Huaigu was a little surprised, and turned his head to Qian Qianqian and cast a grateful look, Qian Qianqian just pursed her lips and smiled, but did not show anything.

"This wine is a new osmanthus wine this year, although it is not as good as the wine treasured in the palace, but it is also a major feature of my restaurant, Miss Qian, you can try it."

Shao Huaigu personally poured Qian Qianqian a glass of wine, and at the same time did not forget Xiao Mohan, the three of them raised their glasses together, and then drank all the wine in the cup one after another.

"This wine is not as sweet as rice wine, and it is not as strong as ordinary osmanthus wine, the entrance is mellow, the aftertaste is full, and the mouth is fragrant, which is really good."

Qian Qianqian put down the wine glass and couldn't help but praise, it was obvious that this osmanthus wine should be secretly made by Shao Huaigu, which was completely different from the ones outside.

"If you like it, I will teach you the craft of winemaking, and in the future, you can make such good wine without leaving home."

Shao Huaigu said very firmly, Qian Qianqian was shocked, naturally she was overjoyed, such a delicious wine, if she learned the method of winemaking, wouldn't it be once and for all.

"Then thank you Shao, Shao ......"

Qian Qianqian was about to give up her hand to thank her, but the words came to her lips, but suddenly stopped, her face gradually became ugly, she covered her chest, leaned over suddenly, and a mouthful of blood suddenly gushed out of her mouth.
