Mrs. Luo Jialuo had two sons, and the servants were called the eldest master and the second master. The eldest lord married his wife Wen and had an only son, Luo Liufang. The second master married his wife Liu and had an only son, Luo Changhuan.

Later, when he went to business, he encountered an accident, and the eldest and second masters died one after another, and the Wen and Liu families left behind are the current eldest and second ladies.

After the death of her husband, the second wife, who was the daughter of a businessman, took over most of the family business of the Luo family with the help of the old lady, and became the most famous Mrs. Liu in the business field. And the eldest lady was heartbroken, and walked into the family temple to chant and pray for blessings all year round, ignoring the world.

It is rare for outsiders to see the eldest lady, and it is difficult for the eldest young master, who is his only son, to see. The eldest young master has been resentful of his mother for many years, and it is not a secret in the Luo family. That's why he spoke coldly to the eldest lady that night.

Knowing about the two of them, no matter how gentle the eldest lady was, no one dared to persuade the eldest young master to let go of his knot.

Although I have a good impression of the eldest lady, I don't dare to disobey the young master's orders, and I treat her as an elder.

But even if I am wishful thinking, I am afraid that the eldest lady will not know. Because someone saw her enter the family temple again this morning, and according to the past practice, she will not come out for a long time.

I don't know if I can see the eldest lady again before I leave the Luo family.

Leaving this matter aside, Miss Jinxian's Xian Liuju has been open for seven days, and her signature dish is quite well received. And my tooth lingering incense was closed five days ago.

I felt uncomfortable for a while, and I mustered up the courage to go to my partner to discuss what to do. But he was busy, and he couldn't see anyone for three days. I got up early today to ask for a meeting, and finally met the eldest young master.

"Young Master."

The eldest young master didn't squint, "Hmm." ”

I had long been accustomed to his indifference, so I bent down and begged, "Young master, save my shop and teach me to do business." ”

Not only to save the store, but also to learn to do business.

I don't have much time to support myself to go on a journey, and I have no relatives to rely on, only the eldest young master can teach me how to get out of the current predicament.

He didn't say yes, so I kept bending over.

"Where did you get your face, let me teach you?" The eldest young master shifted his gaze from the ledger to me and asked.

I replied, "I do have no face, but I have a little ingenuity and hard-working ability to beat and scold." ”

Having said this, I am a little ashamed of myself, but it is indeed a fact, and it is also what the eldest young master values me.

The first two times he wanted to teach me things in the business field, I didn't know the goods. Now the precipice is reined in, hoping to make amends.

The eldest young master didn't speak for a long time, and his face was straight, looking at me.

After a long time, he said: "Jin Lan, you are indeed very smart, and you also know how to speculate on people's hearts. ”

He lifted my face, "But you're missing some of the things that matter now. If you come first and ask for advice, I will teach. Coming back now is just a reminder of how ignorant you used to be. And I hate people who don't know how to lift the lift. ”

I bit my lip, "Young Master, don't you just like my ignorance?" ”

The eldest young master's face changed.

"I don't know how to lift, this time I offended and dared to come to me next time, I was obviously afraid to die, but I dared to take risks for the sake of interests. With a subordinate like me, the young master should like it very much. ”

The hand pinching my chin couldn't help but exert force, and I inhaled in pain.

The young master's eyes flashed, and he smiled slowly, "You are very bold, I admit that you are right." But people like you can use it when you are young, and when you learn the real skills, it will be dangerous. ”

"Young master, rest assured," I said, "I prefer to avoid harm rather than profit." Moreover, there is no one in Nanjiang City who can benefit more than you give me. ”

What I need now is a strategic vision, and in this regard, the eldest young master is an expert. If he is willing to teach, I am willing to spend the rest of my time learning, and ......

"And, while I don't know much more about your plans, I'm a strong candidate for you to make it happen."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have trained me three times or twice, openly and secretly.

The hand that was pinching my chin was getting harder and harder, and I was a little worried about whether it would be broken.

At this time, the young master let go of his hand and said, "You have succeeded." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced that I had succeeded in convincing him.

"What do you think about your shop?" Talking about business, the young master asked me.

I smiled wryly, "I've thought about it, but I haven't come up with anything useful. It's just that if I change my teeth and open another store, I won't be reconciled. ”

In the past, the young master should have scolded me for being stupid when he heard this, but now that he is willing to teach me, he shows a lot of patience.

He looked at me, "I asked you what you saw that day in Xianliuju, do you think of it now?" ”

I shook my head in confusion, and what I could see was said that day.

"Actually, what I want you to see, you've already seen it," the young master explained, "Although the recipes you have developed are delicious, they are all small dishes. In the area where Xianliu lived, most of the people who came and went were workers, and the price and taste were enough, so there were many customers. But because of this, wealthy families rarely interact. ”

"The area where Yaliuxiang is located is in the middle of the city, and it is a place where wealthy families often go for recreation. Those side dishes may stop them for a while because of the taste, but after tasting and eating enough, they will go to eat other places. So if you want to save the tooth fragrance, you also need some big dishes. ”

I suddenly realized, but after thinking about it, I said, "But every restaurant has a delicious dish of sea food in the mountains." The taste is good, and the categories are complete, which is really difficult to innovate. ”

"So what we want to do next is a big dish that is different from the delicacies of the mountains and the sea." The eldest young master said bluntly.

I was stunned, I couldn't figure out what could be more delicious than the delicacies of the mountains and the sea.

"Do you like to drink medicine?" The eldest young master suddenly asked a strange question.

Thinking of the black medicine that Lu Yuan brought every day, I couldn't help frowning and shaking my head. It's weird to like that thing.

"I don't like it either," said the eldest young master, "but that thing is good for the body, so I have to drink it." ”

I didn't understand his intentions, so I had to say, "The young master is right. ”

"Do you remember the medicinal wine sent by Luo Changhuan?"

I nodded, and a little inspiration popped into my head, "You mean, imitation medicinal wine to make medicinal food?" ”

The origin of the world's medicinal diet is that some people say that the royal family dignitaries take medicine into the dishes. This is also limited to high-ranking officials and nobles, and there are not many people who know medical science, and if they get the medicine wrong, it is easy to kill people, so no one dares to tinker with this kind of thing at will.

The young master said: "The rich and noble families in Nanjiang City have been drinking all year round, and their bodies are lacking. However, drugs are always unpopular, and they do not think about taking medicine until they get sick. How to prevent the disease before it occurs is our ability. ”

If there is something that is not unpalatable and can maintain the body, no matter how expensive it is, some people are willing to eat it. It's just that it's not easy, at least for me, it's a bit whimsical.

"Young master, I don't know how to heal." I'll be honest.

If you don't understand medical science, you shouldn't touch the medicine, otherwise it will harm others.

"I know," the young master said angrily, "which herbs are suitable for the dish and how to match them, you don't have to worry about these." You just need to develop the flavor so that the medicinal diet can be eaten. ”

"What does the young master mean......" I hesitated, "you dispense the medicine yourself?" ”

The Luo family's business includes medicinal herbs and a medical hall, and medical books can also be found in the study. But being well-read does not mean that you are familiar with medical science, but if a well-read person is replaced by a young master, he can be familiar with medical science, I think it is a matter of course.

Besides, after a long illness, the young master is no stranger to medicine.

"The knowledge is shallow, and I don't dare to use medicine." The eldest young master denied it, saying, "I know a few famous doctors, and it is enough to ask for a few prescriptions for health preservation." ”

I was dumbfounded, and I laughed spontaneously. Probably because I have heard too many rumors about his god, I have subconsciously put everything on him, and I shouldn't.

"I'll be blessed to send you a few prescriptions in two days, you can study it, make it into a medicinal meal, and I'll taste it." The young master will arrange the follow-up things properly, and I just need to do it.

"Jin Lan understands." I said yes, thought about it, and said, "I wonder if the young master has any medical books now?" ”

"What do you want to do?" He wondered.

If you have made up your mind to make a medicinal diet, the prescription is the key. But there is always a risk that the recipe taken from someone else will be leaked. And if someone has a heart to do it, I can't find it. I simply took advantage of this time to read some medical books, not to be proficient in all medical theories, but to know a little bit about it, so that I could figure it out by myself.

I said my thoughts in exchange for the affirmation of the eldest young master.

"Come with me to the study."

The young master's study is a more mysterious place than his bedroom, and I have never entered it so far. He reads and writes on weekdays, either on the table in the bedroom, or asks Youfu to move the table and chairs outside, and treats the study as nothing.

But the study is by no means simple, and the few times he stays in the study, he closes the door and thanks, and even the blessings and bonuses can't follow up, which is strangely tight.

Now that he's allowed me to go into the study, I'll have to take a good look at it.

When you enter the study, you will see a dazzling array of books on the shelves, with a musty smell, which is an alternative bookish fragrance. The most striking thing is the calligraphy and painting on the wall.

Judging from the few things I have seen, they are all from the hands of the eldest young master.

The paintings are lined up, all of them are pictures of ladies, and most of them do not draw facial features. One of the few that has painted facial features, and I only know one, is Miss Jinxian. I don't know another young woman in a green dress with a slight smile and a woman in white with black hair like a waterfall.

The strange thing is that these paintings are all mentioned, and after a brief sweep, the word "Siqing" is on every painting.

"What's wrong?" The young master brought two books and asked.

“…… It's nothing. If asked, he wouldn't answer.

The young master squinted at the calligraphy and paintings, and suddenly smiled clearly, "Curious about the people in the paintings?" ”

What's wrong with him today, and he took the initiative to solve my doubts?

He took down the paintings with facial features, "This one in red is Jinxian." The one in white is Hui Niang. Tsing Yi's is Qing'er. ”

When I heard the word "Qing'er", I looked at it again and again in surprise.

The second young master said that after Qing'er disappeared, the eldest young master seemed to be fine. But how to explain this lifelike painting?

I was surprised by more than one thing, the eldest young master rolled up these paintings and handed them to me with two books in a row, "It's all for you." ”

"Huh? Isn't that what you drew with care? ”

"So what?" He asked me, looking indifferent, as if these carefully made paintings were waste paper.

I smiled dryly and took Miss Jinxian's picture, "Why don't you give it to Miss Jinxian?" ”

I don't want to accept these people's paintings, especially Miss Jinxian's.

The eldest young master snorted lightly, "If you don't like it, then take it and burn it." ”

I was dumbfounded and took the paintings along with the book.
