Hearing that it is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, presumably the official rank must not be low, Lin Xia was immediately impressed by the boy in front of him, and encouraged: "I didn't expect that my younger brother is now a waiter by the prince's side, and he will marry a wife and a bachelor's daughter, it seems that this official luck is good, keep up the good work." ”

Lei Biao took a sip of the tea on the table, and said casually, "Officialdom is like a battlefield, be careful." ”

Lin Chengzu smiled faintly, "Thank you brother-in-law for reminding me." ”

Lin Xia looked disdainful, "It's good that officialdom is like a battlefield, but I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm afraid of pig-like teammates, I can remember that my brother is the capital where you live with a large family." ”

Speaking of his family, Lin Chengzu's face turned pale, he didn't know the temperament of his family, but because he was a junior, he was always difficult to say anything, only reminded them to be cautious in their words and deeds, and not to cause trouble.

Lin Chengzu pulled out a wry smile, "Fortunately, the third brother is now living in the county, the fourth brother is with his father and mother, and the fourth brother has nothing else except being lustful and loving to go to the land of fireworks." ”

Lin Xia's two eyebrows frowned slightly, "Why did Lin Chengzong move to the county seat?" Willing to give up the bustling life in the capital? ”

"I don't know this, it is said that the third sister-in-law's mother's family bought a shop over there, but the mother's family was lost because of a fire, so the third sister-in-law took over the shop, urging the third brother to move to the county seat and run the shop, but it will be the New Year in two months, and my father asked them to go back to the capital for the New Year."

Lin Xia nodded lightly, not paying attention to this matter, but Lei Biao's frowning eyebrows did not disperse for a long time.

"Don't talk about these family things, don't waste my intention to bring my brother-in-law and sister here, Juxian Pavilion is the largest restaurant in Beijing, this taste is excellent, please invite my brother-in-law and sister to come to taste the taste of Beijing food." Lin Chengzu swept away the gloom just now and hurriedly introduced.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the private room, "Guest officer, the food you ordered is ready, but do you want to serve it?" ”

Lin Chengzu responded, "Let's go." ”

When the words fell, the door of the private room was gently pushed open, and a few small two people held trays and put the dishes on the countertop one by one, and wanted to retreat after the dishes were served.

Lin Chengzu saw that there was one more dish, so he hurriedly stopped Xiao Er, "I didn't order this dish, but it's wrong?" ”

Xiao Er said respectfully, "Guest officer, no, this dish is specially served by our young prince of Juxian Pavilion for the guests of this room." ”

"Young son of Juxian Pavilion?" Lin Chengzu swept through the corresponding characters in his mind, and suddenly the appearance of a handsome boy appeared, only frowning slightly, and said: "I have no intersection with Young Master He Mu, why did I give away such an expensive dish for free for no reason?" ”

"Hahaha, Lin Gongzi, don't be sentimental."

A voice suddenly sounded in the air, and following the voice, he looked at the handsome young man who was very proud, saw him bow slightly, and saluted them, "Boss Lei and the proprietress of Yalinju, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Lin Chengzu was a little stunned, he didn't expect that He Mu, the young son of the largest restaurant in the capital, would know Lei Biao and Lin Xia.

Lin Xia only rolled his eyes, he met the old woman of the Du family yesterday, and today he met an acquaintance who had met him in Yaohai City, it seemed that this capital was not very big, and he said angrily: "Gongzi He, this Juxian Pavilion of your family really occupies a small place in the capital." "That's how He Mu introduced it when he first introduced, just a quote.

When He Mu returned to Beijing, he had secretly sent someone to investigate Lei Biao's identity, but there were always people who hindered the investigation and even killed the people he sent. When he learned that Lei Biao and Lin Xia had arrived in the capital, he had been thinking about whether to send a post, but he didn't expect Lei Biao and Lin Xia to send it to the door by themselves.

He Mu didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said enthusiastically: "Today's table of dishes should be regarded as me washing the dust for Boss Lei and Mrs. Lei, and also making amends for saying a few offensive words when I was in Yaohai City that day, please don't take it to heart." ”

Lei Biao and Lin Xia are not grudges, not to mention that this He Mu is still the young son of Juxian Pavilion, and Juxian Pavilion has more or less connections with the palace, and more is better than less.

Lin Xia said casually, "Okay, bring all the most expensive and best of your Juxian Pavilion, and you can't finish eating and packing!" ”

He Mu's facial expression suddenly froze, he took a deep breath and called to Xiao Er next to him with a smile, "Okay, give it to Boss Lei, Mrs. Lei." ”

Lin Chengzu had not recovered from his surprise, and He Mu also sat down beside Lin Chengzu shamelessly, and explained the ins and outs of his acquaintance with Lei Biao Lin Xia for him, and after understanding the situation, Lin Chengzu had to smile helplessly.

"It's winter this season, will Yalinju also sell a batch of fresh vegetables this winter?" He Mu asked with interest.

Lei Biao was silent, after all, Lin Xia was managing these things, only to see Lin Xia hook his lips and smile deeply: "Gongzi He wants to buy it?" ”

Hearing Lin Xia say this, He Mu's eyes lit up, it is definitely a very rare thing to be able to eat fresh vegetables in winter, whether it is to give gifts to dignitaries and nobles, or to transport them to the back kitchen to make expensive dishes, he can make a lot of money, and he can also win some dignitaries.

"Yes." He Mu said bluntly.

"Didn't you want to buy us a recipe for out-of-season vegetables?" Lin Xia's face was full of smiles, inducing He Mu into his trap.

He Mu squinted his eyes slightly, sensing a hint of strangeness from Lin Xia's words, and said cautiously: "Could it be that Mrs. Lei has changed her mind?" ”

In the confrontation between the words, Lei Biao and Lin Chengzu tacitly agreed that they did not say anything, and the two knew that Lin Xia must have played some ghost idea again, but they could not hinder Lin Xia's small plan.

"Not bad." Lin Xia had a meaningful smile on his face, took a sip of the tea on the table, and said slowly: "Out-of-season vegetables have indeed caused quite a stir, and even become a hot potato, I originally thought that Juxian Pavilion was just a small restaurant that learned the news in advance, but now it seems that if I cooperate with you, I can share some attention." ”

He Mu looked at Lin Xia vigilantly, "This out-of-season vegetable was come up with by Mrs. Lei?" As he spoke, He Mu glanced at Lei Biao, and saw that he raised his hand and rubbed Xiao Xu'er's head, urging Xiao Chen'er to eat the rice obediently, not taking their conversation to heart at all, as if he was an outsider.

Lin Xia shrugged his shoulders and said with a relaxed face, "Not bad." ”

He Mu completely put away his contempt for Lin Xia at this time, he had never taken Lin Xia to heart before, after all, he was just a vulgar woman from the countryside, even if he knew that Lei Biao's identity was not simple, he had changed his opinion of Lei Biao, but he did not have Lin Xia.

But today, his view was completely wrong.

"How does Madame Ray want to sell it?" He Mu quickly switched to the mode of a businessman and began to make careful calculations.

Lin Xia went straight to the point and said bluntly: "If I sell you the recipe for out-of-season vegetables, no problem, but I have a request, after the recipe is sold to you, Yalinju can still continue to grow." ”

He Mu thought for a moment and asked, "How many acres of vegetables do you Yalinju plan to plant?" ”

"For the time being, about ten acres, if the scale of Yalinju expands in the future, the demand for vegetables will increase, and the vegetables planted will also expand to keep up with the demand and supply." Lin Xia replied.

He Mu's eyes rolled around, "Yes." But you have to make sure that you don't leak the recipe, otherwise you will have to compensate us according to the number of people who leaked. ”

Lin Xia rolled his eyes directly, thinking that this person's calculation was quite fine, "It should be so, now Gongzi He can tell me what kind of price he plans to make." ”

Before He Mu spoke, Lin Xia kindly reminded: "By the way, this recipe for out-of-season vegetables may also be suitable for growing fruits, flowers, and even grains. So, Master He, you have to think clearly before you speak. ”

He Mu choked and sighed in frustration. Profiteer, profiteer, no chance to exploit loopholes is left to him, and compared with her, his methods are still weak.

At this moment, He Mu's estimation of Lin Xia in his heart was also a lot heavier, and after thinking about it for a long time, "One hundred thousand taels of silver, how about it?" "Doing business is originally about bargaining, and He Mu said this price, which can be regarded as a temptation.

Lin Xia shook his head slightly, "One hundred thousand taels? He Gongzi, is this your sincerity? It seems that you have not seen the huge wealth brought by out-of-season vegetables, you must know that in addition to our Yalinju, in the future, there will only be Juxian Pavilion to provide fresh vegetables, or grain, flowers, fruits, and so on. ”

"Then ask Mrs. Ray to make an offer." He Mu said bluntly.

Lin Xia didn't bother to be polite to He Mu, and said bluntly: "One price, two hundred thousand taels." ”

Lin Chengzu, who was present, took a sharp breath, he also heard that Yalinju produced a fresh vegetable in the past year, but he didn't expect that this recipe alone could be sold at such a high price. If he takes the official road of honesty and integrity, he will probably not have as much as 200,000 taels of silver in his life.

"One hundred and fifty thousand."

"Two hundred thousand."

"170,000."

"190,000."

"One hundred and eighty thousand."

Lin Xia thought about it for a while, the 180,000 taels of silver was enough for her to open a luxurious restaurant in the capital, and it was a five-star business.

only said slowly: "Deal." ”

He Mu shook his head helplessly, and said weakly, "Okay, it's just that it's getting late now, and tomorrow morning I will go to the silver number to withdraw the silver ticket, and then visit the Lei Mansion." ”

Lin Chengzu still looked at them with a surprised expression, and he didn't recover from the 180,000 taels of silver that had just been sold. And Lei Biao only glanced sideways at Lin Xia, casting an encouraging look.

"Let someone get the four treasures of the study first, and we will draw up a contract now. After signing the contract, tomorrow He Gongzi will send the money, and then take us to your Juxian Pavilion farmland, I can guide you on the spot if you build a vegetable greenhouse, will plant out-of-season vegetables to tell you in detail, if you don't understand something, you can ask on the spot, of course, if you need me to write it down, no problem, but you have to pay attention to keeping. ”

He Mu nodded again and again, "Mrs. Lei is very thoughtful, so it's settled." ”

After He Mu and Lin Xia agreed on the terms, they wrote them down one by one, carefully considered them, and copied two copies after making sure that there were no loopholes, and formally negotiated them.
