"What's the idea?" Lin Dai turned his head and looked at her expectantly.

"Takeout!" Du Mei said confidently.

In her dream, she saw the takeaway ordered by Du Mei, and she sat at home and tinkered with it on her mobile phone, and the food would be automatically delivered to the door.

"What? What is an outside...... Sell? Lin Dai couldn't understand her words, for fear that something would go wrong with his ears, so he asked suspiciously.

"That's it...... It is to deliver the meals cooked in the restaurant to people's homes to eat. Du Mei thought for a moment and explained simply.

"On weekdays, there are occasionally small servants from high-ranking families who come out to buy outside food, and the owner means that we have to specialize in this business?" Lin Dai was smart enough to understand what Du Mei meant, and immediately asked again.

"Well, but it's not, so be it, Ming'er will wait for Murong Xi to come, and I'll discuss it with him again." Du Mei had too many thoughts in her mind at this time, and she couldn't figure it out for a while, she thought that Murong Xi had a lot of ideas and a wide range of roads, maybe she could help.

In the evening, except for the young man in gorgeous clothes who came to eat again, the entire restaurant was empty, and there were no other guests.

After the only guest left, the cooks cooked a few vegetarian dishes to eat by themselves, and everyone sat around, because the business was not good, the atmosphere was a little heavy, and everyone just ate and did not speak.

"It's rare, it's better to come early, it's better to come by chance!" Murong Xi opened the curtain and walked in with a smile.

"Why are you here?" Du Mei asked with some confusion.

"Come over and eat." Murong Xi was also not polite, took the dishes and chopsticks handed over by Lin Dai, and took the stewed eggplant in oil to eat.

"Why are you eating so early today?" The door curtain moved again, and this time it was Chu Lin who came in.

"Let's go cook a few dishes again." The cooks confessed and hurriedly withdrew all the food they had eaten to the kitchen.

Murong Xi is used to frolicking with them, and he just eats a little with them, but Chu Lin is the prince, don't say that he has a habit of cleanliness at this time, and he generally doesn't eat with others, even the cooks don't dare to let him eat the rest of these dishes.

"You've just arrived, and I have something to tell you." Du Mei said and went up to the third floor private room. When the wind blew at night, the three of them sat with the window open, which was cooler than the day.

"As you can see, my business here is simply beyond our means." Du Mei poured a cup of herbal tea for each of them and sighed.

"It's a scorching summer day, people are afraid of heat, their appetite is not good, and all businesses are sluggish, even the same is true of the Drunken Immortal Building, and the newly opened Xiangmanlou of the Seven Kings is even less interested." Chu Lin folded his hands and said lightly.

"How can Xiang Manlou compare with Mei Ji? But if the diners don't come at this time, even the Yaochi fairy food can't do it. Although Murong Xi was not convinced, there was nothing he could do about the current predicament.

"If the diners don't come, I can deliver the dishes to the door, I have a way to do it today, you can listen to it." Du Mei sat down with sparkling eyes and said.

"I want to hear about it." Chu Lin stroked the lotus pattern on the cup, and the herbal tea was icy, which made people calm the heat.

Chu Lin glanced at Du Mei, the brilliance in her eyes was like thousands of stars shining brightly, which made him unable to control the tenderness and heartbeat in his eyes.

Du Mei was only focused on business, and slowly said what she was thinking, to be precise, it was just a possibility, and she didn't know if it would work.

"I think it's a good idea, you can try it, why don't you send a table of noodles to the Humble Garden first?" Murong Xi said with a smile.

"If you want to quickly promote one thing in Gangneung City, you still have to be a high-ranking official

Start at home, Ming'er, I'll let Shaohuai arrange it. Chu Lin picked up the herbal tea and took a sip.

"If it is vigorously promoted by the tabloids in the capital, Mei Ji is afraid that it will become popular again!" Murong Xi nodded approvingly.

"These are not the main things, the most important thing is that if the takeaway can really be done in the future, who will pass on the news of ordering takeout to me, if I wait for the various prefectures to send a small servant to order, the meal will be only one or two hours, Mei Ji will not be busy in the kitchen, and then my idea will inevitably be plagiarized by other stores, and I can't eat the business myself, and others will rob it." Du Mei frowned and said.

"If you want to let the store spread people, it will take time and work, not to mention, labor and labor alone is a big expense, but I am afraid that it will not be able to make money." Chu Lin frowned and shook his head.

"I want people, I have a lot, the little beggars who sell newspapers are all over the city, they know everything about the houses and courtyards in the city, who is generous, who is stingy, and they are even clearer, they used to beg every day, and they are half full, and now they sell me newspapers, one person is ten yuan a day, and everyone is rushing to do it, if you give them three or five yuan to run an errand and send a letter, then they are more happy." Murong Xi cocked Erlang's legs and said very smugly.

"That's a good idea!" Du Mei leaned on the table and said happily.

"Wouldn't it be better for my carrier pigeons, with only a handful of corn a day?" Chu Lin couldn't help but joke with a smile.

"That's okay, why don't you do both?" Murong Xi raised his eyebrows, his peach blossom eyes flying.

"Forget about the carrier pigeon, it was trained in the Beijing patrol camp to deliver war reports, and it was used to do business for the restaurant, it was too laborious, but I was afraid that the King of Shu would arrest you again." Du Mei shook his head in rejection.

"The two that the stone brought back last time, you can use them, they are not registered." Chu Lin listened to Du Mei's words, as if he had eaten a bowl of ice drink at the moment, and his heart was very happy, his Mei'er could always think about him first.

"I don't use them on weekdays, I will use them to contact you when I am in a hurry, others don't know, and I am too lazy to say the reason when I meet people, and I won't use them in business." Du Mei said tactfully.

She didn't want to cause trouble to Chu Lin, Chu was eyeing him, he suffered a loss that day, but he chose to endure it, and recently opened a restaurant on this street, she must always be cautious and cautious, because, I don't know when, he will pounce on and bite people like a crazy beast.

While the three of them were talking, the guy brought seven or eight dishes on a tray, chatting while eating, and talking about various takeaway matters in more detail, Chu Lin and Murong Xi naturally tried their best to help her.

Du Mei decided to meet those little beggars in person, since he worked for the restaurant, he was Mei Ji's face, and he always had to choose some clever and lively, pleasing looks, and give them haircuts and baths, tailor-made, so decent, that the big families could rest assured that they would be assigned errands.

Early the next morning, taking advantage of the cool morning, Murong Xi came to pick up Du Mei, and the little beggars stayed in the City God Temple at night.

Du Mei deliberately brought a lot of steamed buns and other food, and those little beggars rushed up to the scene and snatched them all at once.

"Do you want to do errands?" Du Mei swept past the thirty or forty children of different sizes in front of him one by one.

"You are the big treasurer of Mei Ji, I know you." A boy of twelve or thirteen years old said boldly.

"yes, will you do the errands?" Du Mei smiled kindly at him.

This kid is good-looking, bold and careful, and Du Mei likes him very much.

"What legs are you going to run? How much can I give? When the boy saw that she was kind, he went away again

Take a closer look and ask.

"If there is a big family who wants to order Mei Ji's dishes, you can come and send me a letter, a family of five cents, send more and more, how about it?" Du Mei smiled, this kid still knows to ask this, it seems that she is really the person she wants.

"Five cents? I want to go! ”

"I want to go too!"

……

When the little beggar heard of such a generous reward, he immediately swarmed over and surrounded Du Mei in the middle.

"You're too young, I'm afraid you won't be able to remember what people say." Du Mei touched the hair of a four or five-year-old female doll and said pityingly.

"Do you want an adult? Uncle Ma is so pitiful, he still has a jujube sister. The girl snorted and asked.

"Uncle Ma? Jujubes? Du Mei chuckled in his heart, it couldn't be Ma Rong who escaped with Du Zao, so coincidentally, he was also in Jiangling City?

"That's right, Sister Zao'er suffered from the heat a few days ago, and Uncle Ma went out early in the morning to ask for medicine." The female doll nodded.

"Can I meet her? I know how to heal. Du Mei's heart beat wildly, but he tried his best to hold back.

Murong Xi saw Du Mei's abnormality and helped to speak: "She is a female doctor, and she can cure any problem." ”

"That's great!" The female doll happily pulled Du Mei up and left.

In a corner of the City God's Temple, a five- or six-month-old baby girl fell asleep on the messy straw, her skinny bones, soft and yellow hair was knotted together, her plain white face was covered with mud, and there was a cinnabar mole under her left eye, which was clearly Du Sanjin's youngest daughter Du Zao!

Du Mei bent down and held her in his hands, pitiful that she was light and airless, almost weightless, and when she reached out and touched her, her forehead was hot, her breath was short, and she was obviously not lightly ill.

"I don't have any medicine now, can I take her back for treatment?" Du Mei hugged the baby girl tightly, no matter how unbearable Xie was, the child was always innocent, since she had met her, she couldn't let her lose her life here.

Du Mei carefully asked for their opinions, these little beggars were wandering from place to place, taking care of each other, and being righteous, if she showed a little expression of recognizing the child, she was afraid that they would snatch Du Zao away and hide it elsewhere, and then it would be even more difficult to find it.

When the little beggars saw Du Mei say this, they suddenly lost their minds, you look at me, I look at you, and no one dared to answer.

"Sister Zao'er has been sick for a few days, and now it's getting worse and worse, and Uncle Ma doesn't know if he can ask for medicine, so I think I'll let the big shopkeeper take it back for treatment, maybe I can pick up a life." The boy from earlier was the first to speak.

He probably had some prestige among the little beggars, and he spoke, and everyone else nodded silently.

"What's your name? Or you come with us. Du Mei intended to use him and wanted to talk to him in detail.

"I don't know what my name is, everyone calls me Brother Li." The boy bowed his head and sullenly kicked a pebble at his feet.

"I'll tell you to leave Xiaoli, let's go." Du Mei hugged Du Zao and turned to leave.

"Aren't you here to run errands?" Xiaoli stood still and asked suspiciously.

The sister in front of her, who was wearing a pleated skirt of azure muslin, had willow eyebrows and almond eyes, a beautiful face, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised to talk to them, unlike those young ladies who saw them like a plague, lest they avoid it, so he suddenly had a little good impression of Du Mei.

"I'm just asking you, would you like to come?" Du Mei smiled and did not answer the rhetorical question.
