Luo Xi set up a "military order" in front of Mrs. Liang, and earned thousands of gold and silver in three years, and wanted to use the title of imperial merchant as his dowry.

Neither of these things is easy.

The only thing that makes her feel a little confident is that Jiayuan, the hunter, is no longer there, and she doesn't have to make some money with a golden finger like before, and she is timid.

entrusted Qiqi to Uncle Liang for the night, she locked herself in the room all day, eating and drinking was sent by a girl, she just buried her head in the case, and worked hard to write-

After putting pen to paper and listing all the ideas she could think of to make money, she finally decided to open three themed restaurants.

She is familiar with Shudi spicy dishes, and the Shancheng hot pot restaurant must first be opened, and then she wants to imitate the Qinhuai River and open a restaurant with the theme of painting boats, specializing in making some Huaiyang dishes with light taste and paying attention to the food environment.

If you still have the energy left, you can build a garden restaurant that sells Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, specializing in undertaking red and white ceremonies and high-class family banquets of famous families.

With the three phased goals in place, the next step is to plan the start-up plan.

The shop, the initial investment funds, the bottom of the ingredient pot, and the man's account room must be considered in a plan.

There was a draft in the abdomen, and Luo Shi asked someone to invite Sanniang to come to the house, wanting to discuss this matter with her.

When she said goodbye to Sanniang, she was dressed in a goose yellow brocade shirt, with a brown tail skirt, a jade ribbon ring pressing the skirt, a little pink on her face, and a delicate hairpin ring on her sideburns, which looked dignified and noble.

After patrolling up and down, I couldn't find the appearance of a peasant woman again.

"Sanniang, it's really different, it's more graceful and noble than your wife!"

Luo Shi was very emotional, happily pulled her to sit down, reached out and took out the teapot in the pot, and poured a cup of tea for her.

Sanniang couldn't stand the praise of Luo, her face was red, she used her hand to block it, and smiled warmly:

"What kind of background I have, you don't know, I don't want to take these to talk about me - doing business in the capital, I only look at my body at first sight, I am weak in my heart, I can only wear gold and silver, smear some fat powder, and don't let people look down on it"

"I'm not scratching you, I'm really good-looking, it's tacky to wear gold and silver, you're just right like this, you won't be underestimated, and you won't show off"

Luo astringent skirt sat on the embroidered pier, smiling gently.

Sanniang warmed the cup in her hand, and when she heard her say this, her heart was at ease, but thinking of Luo Shi's current situation, she couldn't help but sigh:

"How have you been? I've been living in Liang Mansion like this, and I went to Mao'er Hutong several times to inquire about the news, and I asked Miss Liang Yu to send her back, and she only said that everything is okay with you, and you don't have to worry about it."

"Liang Yu is this kind of character, there is nothing else, besides, I am very good, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, playing with Qiqi, where are there more leisurely days?"

Sanniang shook her head:

"I'll be afraid of what you eat and drink? I'm asking you about your life's events! ”

Luo Xi blinked, and clearly told Sanniang about the military order in front of Mrs. Liang, which made Sanniang surprised, and said in a low voice:

"Heaven, thousands of gold and silver, the title of imperial merchant? Are you really ready to take the position of the Liang family's wife? ”

When the words came out, Sanniang felt that something was wrong, pursed her lips and added: "I didn't mean that, I just think, why do you bother to set such a difficult threshold for yourself?" What if it doesn't happen after three years? At that time, I'm afraid that she will not give you the title of concubine again......"

Luo sneered:

"I didn't think about it, if I didn't do it - I knocked Uncle Liang unconscious with a stick, put him in a sack, and stole him out of the capital overnight."

Sanniang knew her jokes, and shook her head helplessly, knowing that Luo was stubborn, and she would never turn back on what she decided.

After thinking about it, she took out a small seal in her arms and handed it to Luo Shi:

"That being the case, then this is for you, although I don't have the confidence to become an emperor in three years, but I can still give it a try with the promise of thousands of dollars."

This seal is the seal of all the business dealings of the lady, just like the official seal of the present world is a thing, the meaning of Sanniang is to return the lady to Luo Shi.

Luo Shi immediately pushed it back, and said:

"I don't want it, when the lady is in my hands, it's just a small shop with decent business, only in your hands, it has become a big business in Kyushu chain, you are the lady of the owner, it has nothing to do with me"

"What does it matter, I just eat and drink with a mouth, sleep a foot at the table, and use all that money? I saved all the money for Brother Zao'er to marry a wife, and I am the one who really doesn't care if I am not the owner's wife."

What Sanniang said was not against her will, when she took over this shop, firstly, she took care of Luo Shi, so that those loyal workshop guys would not lose their jobs, and secondly, she really needed money to raise He Zao well, and save the money to marry a daughter-in-law and study and scientific research in the future.

Over the years, this money has already been saved enough, and He Zao has grown up a lot, listening to the family letter written by Niu Qian in Tongzhou, the boy has been enlightened and apprenticed, and he has gone to study in the hall.

At this point, Luo Shi asked about He Zao's current situation, and Sanniang's face was full of love and pride:

"He naturally thinks that I am my mother, how can he remember the swaddling thing, he is smart by nature, well-behaved and caring, there is no stinky problem on my father and mother, I have been with Niu for a long time and have no children, at this age, I naturally don't plan to have another child, let's raise Brother Zao to grow up, and enjoy his blessings when I am old."

When Luo Shi heard this, she was relieved, firstly, to thank Sanniang, and secondly, to explain to Grandpa He's spirit in the sky.

Regardless of whether Brother Zao is Grandpa He's grandson or not, the friendship he loved in the past does not want this child to go the wrong way, or be lonely.

"Brother Zao wants to take the road of official career, money is indispensable, I have my own way to make money, can't you believe me?"

Luo Shi took Sanniang's hand, asked her to take the seal back, pursed her lips and smiled:

"Besides, my money bag is empty now, I really want to bother to do business, and I have to ask you to settle a sum of money."

"What you say, if you want to borrow or not, just take as much as you want!"

"It's not much, it doesn't cost a lot of money, I plan to open a spicy pot shop, the store is decorated, no antique ornaments, red lacquered wooden pillars, just want a simple taste of a mountain city, naturally save money"

Sanniang knew that this spicy pot used to be made and eaten in Tongzhou, when the family was troublesome, and there were many friends and friends, just waiting for a table of spicy pot when it was cold, fragrant and spicy, and very sweaty.

"Your idea is not wrong, but you don't have to bother looking for a shop, I have bought a few shops along the street in the capital, and I plan to open a lady's shop, and now I need to use it first!"

"Then I won't be presumptuous—and masons, carpenters, and so on, and you have to keep an eye on them."

"Leave these to me, I know the best master in the capital, what other people can't do, he can do it, buddy or something, if you don't have a favorite, you can also dial it from my place first, some of you know the roots, you can rest assured!"

Sanniang took care of everything, and took the affairs of the spicy pot restaurant as her own business, because she was in a hurry, she couldn't sit still, and she had to help do it immediately.

Luo Shi thanked him again and again, and after sending Sanniang away, he went to work.

*

The place selected by Sanniang is in Wangpu in the east of the city, the location is very good, although there is no restaurant on the side, but the two meat shops and small restaurants that are served in the four seasons abound.

They are basically the same, except for the occasional few signature dishes, nothing else special.

Sanniang was very efficient, and the next day, the craftsman arrived early, and according to the meaning of Luo Shi, he almost demolished the shop and rebuilt it-

With the appearance of the stilted building of the mountain city, the two-storey small building is hung up from the flat bottom, and a scene is piled up with rockery stones outside, and a canal is dug to lead to the well in the backyard, and the principle of siphoning is used to create a scenery of mountain streams and flowing water, which is exquisite and does not lose the atmosphere.

The spicy pot shop has not yet opened, and this setting alone has already attracted people, and some of them are interested, and they will ask in a hurry:

'Whose business is this, and what is it selling?' ’

Ross had given the words to the craftsman, or when she was there, she would always patiently explain:

"It is a pot of spicy vegetables, eat with a copper pot of shabu-shabu, fragrant and spicy, sweating all over the body, the most suitable for friends to meet, a family to get together, save the stove fire, more affordable than a small rice shop, and eat more"

In addition, the lady's snack shop has a unified caliber, and only says to the outside world: This mountain city spicy pot is a food shop that is divided by itself, and the spicy seeds and hot sauce in it are all originally supplied by the lady's workshop.

Luo Shi also erected a wooden sign in the lady's shop to advertise.

She said to Sanniang that as long as the guests buy spicy dishes at the snack shop, they will give a coupon for a spicy pot, and use this coupon to eat the pot and send a crystal shrimp dumpling.

After going back and forth, the brand of Shancheng spicy pot finally played some.

After four busy months, the spicy pot restaurant opened.

The landscape scenery outside the store, the murmuring stream, the sound of the water, the characteristic stilted building rises from the ground, the bamboo decoration outside should be dry, and the red string of lanterns fluttering in the wind, becoming the most eye-catching shop on this street.

Go inside, Xiaoxuan counts, the location is elegant and clean, the Nanmu Eight Immortal Table is distributed in the lobby, and there are several chairs in Tannan, and the furnishings are elegant.

This hour is already wrong, but there are still many guests in the hall who eat pots, the copper pot on the table is boiling with water, one side of the red and spicy soup base, the other side of the big bone broth, whether you eat spicy or not, you can eat ironing freely.

It's almost late autumn, and the autumn is high and cool, so it's time to eat nourishing pots.

Regardless of the spicy soup base, the clear soup pot is astringent, and it pays attention to the four seasons of the climate, this day needs to nourish the yin and moisten the throat, replenish the middle and benefit the qi, she stewed the yam with the pigeon, and added some wolfberries.

As for shabu-shabu, because in the capital, it is not a small place to compare, and good things can be found on the market.

Not to mention all kinds of vegetables, bean melon, water chestnut lotus root, are supplied at four o'clock, all kinds of saltwater, freshwater fish, turtle, shrimp and crab, there is no shortage on the market, oil chicken, fat duck, how many are there.

Therefore, the dishes are rich and fresh, although the price of mutton and pork is not cheap, but the amount is fresh enough, and the cuts are thick, which makes people feel satisfied with a bite.

When eating spicy seeds, the most indispensable thing is big herbal tea.

This herbal tea, which is sold on the street for a penny and a bowl of copper coins, has become the best-selling drink in the spicy pot shop.

In addition to herbal tea to relieve spiciness, Rashi also launched an ice bowl.

Take walnut kernels, lotus roots, water chestnut meat, lotus seeds, etc., mixed with fresh milk and crushed ice in it, which is cool and refreshing, which can not only coax noisy children, but also quickly relieve spiciness.

It's just that it can be sold in the fall, but in the winter, I'm afraid it won't be.

On the second floor, there were two or three private rooms, the windows were pasted with green cold cloths, and the doors were hung with bamboo curtains.

The cottage hangs the curtains, divides the Cao and eats, and is quiet and relaxed, which is most suitable for guests who have friends to gather and do not like to be disturbed.

The three guys who run up and down the hall, a shopkeeper on the counter, and most of the guys in the back kitchen help to load the dishes and shabu-shabu, and there are also masters who turn the spoon-

Mainly stir-fry the bottom of the pot, and sometimes there are one or two small dishes, all of which are transferred by Sanniang, signed a long contract, and the spicy dishes they learned are also those things that were handed over to Sanniang in the past.

The business of the spicy pot in the mountain city is booming, and Luo Shi is helping before and after, and his forehead is full of sweat.

Outside, there was another table of private room reservations, but she remembered what Uncle Liang said last night:

He went to the palace to order during the day, and in the evening, he would pull a vote for the ministers to come to the party, and asked Luo Shi to leave a private room first.

"I'm sorry it's fully booked!"

Luo Shi wiped the oil in her hands, greeted her with a smile, and planned to explain it to the scheduled guests, but when she saw the visitor, she was still stunned for a moment:

"Jiangzhou?"

Jiangzhou was dressed in a green bamboo-colored robe, followed by several scholars on the left and right, all of them were straight square scarves, and the literary quality was polite, he saw that Luo Xi was coming in person, and smiled and arched his hand:

"Congratulations on the opening, look forward to a prosperous business, congratulations"
