Yan Qingge was dressed in thick clothes and lay in front of the desk in a daze.

"Sister Qingge." Yan Xiuyu called Yan Qingge softly, pulling her distracted thoughts back.

"Oh, Brother Yu, what's wrong?" Yan Qingge raised his long eyelashes in response.

Yan Xiuyu said: "In the past few days, Shui Ying has been asking me when the White Deer Academy will have winter vacation, if you are free, write a letter to her, and say that you are back." ”

Yan Qingge snorted, they are now in the study, it is very convenient to write a letter, she pulled a piece of paper, dipped the pen in ink, and wrote a letter after a while, because Zhongwangfu and Lejia are in the inner city, it is easy to walk, so she immediately asked the servant to send it.

The next morning, Yan Qingge was still sleeping, so Ruyi woke her up and said, "Miss, Miss Shui is coming to you." ”

Yan Qingge was stunned and asked Xiang Ruyi: "Did I oversleep?" ”

Ruyi shook his head and said, "No!" It was Miss Water who came too early. ”

Yan Qingge felt a little strange, in the past in Bailu Academy, Shui Ying was the one who could sleep the most, and she lived a loose life like a fairy, why did she come so early today, it didn't look like her style.

She got up and washed up in a hurry, because Shui Ying was not an outsider, so in order to save time, she didn't deliberately dress up, and simply went out to meet Shui Ying.

In the past six months, Shui Ying's father and brother have returned home, and she doesn't have to study in the academy, it stands to reason that the meat on her body should be raised, but not only is she not fat, but she is getting thinner and thinner.

But she looks very energetic like this, plus her simple clothes and tight high bun, although they are all the clothes and hair styles of girls who have not been out of the cabinet, but they are a little different in subtleties, compared to ordinary girls, look a little more crisp beauty.

Shui Ying's eyes lit up when she saw Yan Qingge, she stepped forward in a few steps and said, "Sister Qingge doesn't seem to have changed much in the past six months!" ”

Yan Qingge grinned and said, "Sister Shuiying, you have become quite a lot, and you look so capable at first glance." How's the shops you owned? I was still in the academy when it opened, but I didn't even make it to the show. ”

Shui Ying heard her mention those shops, and covered her heart exaggeratedly: "Don't say it!" Those shops are about to lose their lives, and now they are supported by the money in my family's books, and they will lose a day's capital if they open the door for a day, and they can't close them, I really feel bad when I see it. ”

Yan Qingge was puzzled: "How can this be?" ”

Before she was reborn, she was in charge of housekeeping in the Xinguo Mansion, and her family opened more than 20 shops at most, at most some seasonal shops would have worse business in the off-season, but they didn't lose money.

According to the wealth and power of the Shui family, the shop she found for Shui Ying must be in a good place with a lot of people, and the shopkeeper she found is estimated to be experienced, with the name of the Zhongwang Mansion, and she usually doesn't dare to have any long-sighted ruffians to pick quarrels and provoke trouble. With so many convenient conditions, it can still make business poor, which is surprising.

Hearing Yan Qingge ask, Shui Ying frowned: "I don't know what's going on." Just like the restaurant I opened, there were seven on one street, and when other people's houses had dinner, there were a lot of people, but my house was very deserted. The same is true of the silk and tea house I opened. ”

Yan Qingge knew that there must be something wrong here, so he comforted her and said, "Maybe your house is newly opened, and it will be fine after a while." ”

Shui Ying shook her head: "Don't coax me, I'm not a child." She sighed deeply: "I've been getting up early and greedy for darkness in the past few months, and I've thought of countless ways, but all of them are useless!" Once, when a guest finally came to the restaurant for dinner, I secretly asked someone to put a golden bean in the Yangchun noodles he ordered. As a result, the man ate too fast and swallowed the golden bean, and in the end I could only watch him go to see Langzhong, who prescribed him croton and told him to drink a bottle of sesame oil, and he pulled it out for three days before pulling the golden bean out. ”

Yan Qingge listened to her tell this story seriously, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hey, you're still laughing at me, people are obviously very sad, okay!" Shui Ying's eyes widened: "I regret it to death, why do you want to open a store." ”

Yan Qingge laughed for a while and said, "If you can trust me, take me to your shop and have a look, and I'll help you see why others don't like to come to the door." ”

Shui Ying heard it and said happily: "Really? Then let's go together. ”

She is too sharp now, she will do whatever she wants, and she will immediately pull Yan Qingge into the carriage and leave.

Yan Qingge said helplessly: "Wait for me to change my clothes, how can I go out with this." ”

Because the brazier is burning at home, it is very warm, so when Yan Qingge came to see Shui Ying, he only wore a thin padded jacket and a long skirt that dragged the floor, but after going out, it was freezing and freezing, and if he wore this again, he would definitely get sick from the cold.

Yan Qingge went back to the house to change into warm coats and put on a fur cloak before leaving with Shui Ying.

Shui Ying took Yan Qingge to the restaurant.

From a distance, Yan Qingge saw two tall and strong men standing at the door of the Shui family's restaurant, their standing posture was only found by standard soldiers, and he could feel that they were all evil without getting closer.

When they arrived, they saw that the two of them had a bald head, not only had no hair, but also had no parts where they should have noses and ears, leaving only a crimson scar.

The other one is nothing special, just missing an ear.

Judging by their appearance, they should have been frozen like this in the Northland.

Those who know will think that although they look terrible, they are loyal to the country and very respectable. But ordinary people come out to eat, where do they understand the story inside, these two strong men are the door, just by their looks, I don't know how many people have been scared away.

After entering the door, Yan Qingge saw that the restaurant inside was decently arranged, and the cleaning was quite clean.

She looked up at the pink sign hanging on the counter where the wine was played, and said, "Can you order any food on it?" ”

"Yes!" Shui Ying nodded and said, "Don't look at the few guests now, but the meat and dishes are complete, and they are all good things from the house." ”

Yan Qingge said to the pink brand: "Is there a cucumber fried pork strip?" ”

Cucumbers are vegetables and fruits that grow in the middle of summer, and now in the cold winter wax moon, they can't be found at all. Who knew that Shui Ying said excitedly: "Yes! Qingge, you really know the goods, where are other restaurants still having such dishes in this season, only my Shui family restaurant can still supply cucumbers. ”

She immediately ordered the kitchen to cook, and in a short time, a plate of steaming cucumber fried pork strips came up. Yan Qingge tasted it, the cucumber was fried, and the color of the meat was not right, it was not as good as the cook in the Zhongwang Mansion, and the taste was average. It seems that the cook inside should also be one of those pro-soldiers.

Shui Ying has the unconditional support of the Shui family, so that she can still sell cucumbers, a rare dish, in the winter, and still open the door every day despite losing money. But is it really necessary to open a restaurant?

Yan Qingge had eaten and said to Shui Ying: "Shui Ying, who is the shopkeeper of this store?" She felt that all these bad ideas were probably from the shopkeeper.

Shui Ying pointed at herself and said, "Me! ”

"You?"

"Yes, I am not only the shopkeeper of the restaurant, but also the shopkeeper of the silk and satin village, and the shopkeeper of the tea house. Anyway, these three stores are very deserted now, and there is nothing to take care of. Shui Ying said to herself.

Yan Qingge was speechless for a while.

She said: "Shui Ying, if it snows very cold, it snows, is what you want to eat cold or hot?" ”

"Needless to say, of course it's hot."

"In the same way, when it's hot in summer, people want to eat cold. In this way, people will take it for granted that what they are used to eating in summer is cold, and if they are used to eating it in winter, they will naturally think that it is hot. I don't think most of the food in your store is out of season, so why would people want to order it? Only most of them are seasonal dishes, and occasionally put one or two out of season, will make people feel fresh. "Yan Qingge is kind and seductive!

"Ahh So that's it! Shui Ying was a little enlightened, and she said excitedly: "It's easy to change the menu, so what else is there?" ”

Yan Qingge said: "Also, the two people at the door are your father's personal soldiers, right?" It's appropriate for them to be soldiers, but I'm afraid it's not okay to welcome guests like this. ”

Shui Ying nodded, she also noticed that something was wrong in this regard, but when she went back to ask her mother and father, they always told her that these were not problems.

Yan Qingge was also wondering why the Shui Ying family would do this. didn't teach her any knowledge of opening a store, so she opened a store in a daze, and it didn't matter if she lost money, she just posted money into it. For Shui Ying, this is fundamentally harmful and not beneficial.

But judging from the performance of King Zhong and Princess Zhong she saw last time, they love Shui Ying very much. Is there really no problem with such a contradictory approach?

The Shui family was able to teach both sons to be talented, even if they pampered their daughters, they would not reach the point of blind pampering, otherwise Shui Ying's character would not be so good.

Sometimes, things that seem absurd actually have their own reasons, but others don't understand them.

Yan Qingge's heart jumped, and he suddenly felt that he had touched some direction - Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong did this, in fact, they didn't want Shui Ying to open a store at all, they must have other very important purposes. In short, they will definitely not harm Shui Ying.

But if she intervenes like this and destroys the plans of Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong, it will be troublesome.

Shui Ying looked at Yan Qingge with great interest, and said to a powerful man standing by the counter, "Bring me a pen and paper." Sister Qingge, what you said makes sense, I never thought about it before, as soon as you said it, I was stunned. ”

Yan Qingge rubbed his temples and hurriedly said, "Don't be in a hurry to remember it first." If I think about it again, I think your previous thinking was good. ”

Shui Ying listened to her praise and asked, "Where is it good?" ”

was asked by Shui Ying like this, Yan Qingge didn't know for a while, and he really didn't know where Shui Ying's failed restaurant with half a bottle of water was good.

But she always had to get her words back.

Yan Qingge opened his mouth and said: "If I think about it carefully, let's just say that selling cucumbers in winter is also feasible." Some people just love to eat something fresh that others don't have. It's just ......" She snorted, and suddenly saw the price written on the pink card, pointed to the price and said, "Your price is too cheap!" ”
