After Xiang Fei left, Xiangru went to the study to do things, after drawing all kinds of charts she had to draw every day, and took a medical book to sit down and study it carefully, Gui 'Hua' hurriedly came in to report, "Girl, the lord of Shuhou Jiarui sent a girl to talk to you. ”

"Please." Xiangru put the book back on the shelf, tidied up the desk and her appearance, and waited for the osmanthus 'flower' to lead the distinguished guest into the 'door'.

Since she returned to Beijing last year to meet these expensive customers, the frequency of the two sides has plummeted, and this year after the opening of the store has not been a single contact, the front store and the backyard but all the guests who come to the restaurant are ordinary civilians, today the lord of Rui suddenly sent someone to the 'door', Xiangru is really a little apprehensive in her heart.

Xiangru put her desk away, 'touched' and 'touched' her hair to smooth the folds of her clothes, and it didn't take long to hear footsteps and talking from the living room outside.

Gui 'Hua' pushed open the 'door' of the study and brought in a fifteen or sixteen-year-old round-faced girl, who was the standard dress of a first-class girl in Shuhou Mansion, but it was not the girl she had seen in front of the Rui County Lord before.

Sure enough, Gui 'Hua' and Xiangru were introduced, "Girl, this is the Chun'er girl who is close to the lord of Ruijun." ”

Xiangru immediately stepped out of the desk and saluted in front of Miss Chun, "He Xiangru please Lord Rui, Miss Chun is good." ”

"Miss He is polite, I don't dare to be." Chun'er responded to Xiangru's gift on behalf of her own lady, and then returned the gift to Xiangru herself, with a calm demeanor and quite educated.

"Tsubaki girl, please be seated." Xiangru led the other party to the relaxation area at the other end of the study to sit down.

The host and guest sat down, Erni brought the tea tray and served tea, and then retreated with the osmanthus 'flower' and closed the 'door' of the room, not daring to disturb the conversation inside.

"Miss Tsubaki has worked hard all the way, let's take a sip of tea and rest first, we are not in a hurry to speak."

Chun'er thanked her and moistened her throat with a teacup.

"Miss Tsubaki looked at her eyes, newly promoted?" Always say hello before you get down to business.

Chun'er smiled and said, "Yes, the former sisters are old, and they have been married one after another in the past few years, and I have only been with the county lord for more than a year, so I dare not say how good the service is, I just want to do it seriously and dare not have it." ”

"Miss Tsubaki is polite, since the county lord Rui sent the girl over today, the girl must be a cronie in the county lord's heart, I don't know if the county lord Rui has something important to look for me?"

"That's right, our county lord wants to do business with the girl." Tsubaki smiled and threw down a big bomb.

"Huh?" Xiangru was surprised and very incomprehensible, "Forgive me for being rude, how could I have such an idea?" ”

Chun'er smiled even deeper, "The girl has known my county lord for many years, do you remember how old my county lord is this year?" ”

Xiangru didn't have time to ask, and thought for a while, "I remember that Lord Rui is only two or three years older than Young Master Rui, and he is about twelve or thirteen years old this year, and he is still a child." ”

"Yes, I still look like a child this year, not to mention next year, and when I get to the year after tomorrow, I will be of marriageable age."

"Ah, it's really like flowing water, just thinking that Lord Rui is still young, but I didn't expect that she is about to get married. The Hou Ye and the eldest princess must have been very reluctant. ”

"Naturally, I was reluctant, so at the beginning of this year, I allocated a big Zhuangzi with dozens of acres of land to the county lord as one of her dowries."

"Hehe, it turns out that the county lord is now a big landowner. So, this business is related to the crops produced by Zhuangzi? At this point, Xiangru also knows what the business is.

"Yes, it turns out that when this Zhuangzi was still under the name of Hou Ye, the crops produced had their own set of treatment methods, in addition to a part for their own use, some were also given away. Now that it is under the name of the lord of Rui, how to deal with it must be considered by the lord of Rui at his own discretion, which is also a necessary lesson to train her to be a qualified housewife in the future. This year's harvest in Zhuangzi was good, and the county lord kept a part of it for the mansion according to the custom, sent a part to her relatives and friends, and distributed some to the villagers for the New Year, and there was still some left in his hand. The county lord knows that Miss He has opened a pastry shop and uses a lot of ingredients every day, so I wonder if he is willing to do business with our county lord? ”

Xiangru thought about it for a while, "Don't hide it from Miss Tsubaki, I have signed a contract with someone for the ingredients used in these two shops every day, and there is a special person to supply them with quality and quantity, if the county lord has not many crops left, I may be able to consider buying them, but if there are too many, I am afraid that I will not be able to do anything." ”

"What Miss He said is very true, we also know this, as long as you open a restaurant in the capital, who hasn't heard of Xiang Fei's fresh food?" Chun'er smiled knowingly, disapproving, "Our county lord does not provide these ordinary ingredients, but butter 'milk' oil, our county lord has always been obsessed with the 'milk' flavored dim sum made by the girl, and always says that it would be good if the two shops under your name could sell such dim sum, and she would buy some every few days for the chef in the house to steal the teacher." ”

Xiangru was stunned, stunned for a moment, and suddenly clapped her hands and laughed, "So that's the case, the county lord has a good mind, I've always been worried that I can't buy good butter 'milk' oil on the market, and Xiang Fei can't 'get' it, otherwise my pastry business should be able to do better, and I have a lot of this kind of dim sum recipe." ”

"Yes, our county lord also said the same, after all, butter 'milk' oil is a foreign Yi people's eating habits, our native people do not take this as the staple food, only large families will raise some cattle and sheep in their own Zhuangzi, 'get' a little 'milk' for themselves to occasionally change the taste, the market can not buy good quality finished products should be."

"In other words, Lord Rui is willing to provide me with these 'milk' products?" Xiangru was a little excited.

"That's right, I just don't know what Miss He thinks?"

"Miss Tsubaki, don't hang my appetite, I can't ask for it, it's just that this kind of thing is not suitable for storage, it's better to say in cold weather, what is a good way to store it in hot weather?"

"Miss He doesn't have to worry about the problem of storage at all, how can Yiren store butter and 'milk' oil on dog days, we also use this method, we have sealed butter and 'milk' oil in the summer and put it in the cellar to avoid light preservation, a few days ago I opened it to check, and found that the flavor is still the same, without the slightest deterioration."

Xiangru was stunned again, "Could it be that the county lord wanted to do business with me since then?" ”

Chun'er nodded generously unabashedly, "As a qualified housewife in the future, everything must be planned in advance, and the county lord has always liked Miss He, so I can't hide it, the girl was able to get the official guide issued by Jing Zhaoyin when she left the palace, and there was a small favor from the county lord." ”

Xiangru opened her mouth wide in surprise, "I never knew, I just thought it was the eldest princess...... It turns out that there is also the county lord. ”

Chun'er smiled and shook her head, "I don't know the specifics, that's all I know, maybe the old people in the past knew, but now they are no longer by the county lord's side." ”

"In this way, I can't refuse the kindness of the county lord, it is my supreme honor that the county lord is willing to do business with me, although when I was on an errand in the Hou Mansion, I didn't have much contact with the county lord, but the county lord has always had a good impression on me, and I am happy to do business with the county lord." It's a good thing to be able to tie yourself to the same boat as the county lord.

"This is great, the county lord will pick you, because among the people she knows and trusts, there is only the girl you, and even said that when our county lord gave birth to this idea, the only person she thought of to cooperate with was Miss He."

Xiangru was already smiling so much that she couldn't see Hitomi Ren at this time, "So, Miss Tsubaki, are we going to talk about specific terms today?" ”

"Well, where do we start? The Hou Mansion and the Eldest Princess Mansion each have some business outside to make money to cope with the huge expenses of the two mansions, but our county lord really doesn't know anything about business, including us, we don't know anything about business at all. ”

"Indeed, as a qualified housewife in the future, Lord Rui does have to learn the ability to make money make money. Who said that 'female' people make their own money very cheaply. ”

Chun'er curled the corners of her mouth, "It seems that Miss He really heard a lot of ugly words yesterday." ”

"Huh? You know that, too? ”

"Yesterday was such a good day, although our county lord didn't go, but someone else was there. The third son of the Xiang family was too conspicuous in the crowd, and there were many people who knew Miss He. ”

"Oh, it's so fast."

"This kind of gossip has always been very popular." Chun'er obviously thought of the dilemma Xiangru faced yesterday, and there was a little embarrassed smile on her face, "Miss He doesn't have to mind them too much, she will only hide in the family to live under the protection of Miss Jiao, and they will not understand the responsibilities and difficulties of the head of the family at all." ”

"Hehe, that's right, okay, let's stop mentioning them and come back to talk about our business."

"Okay, what do you suggest?"

"First of all, I want to know how much 'milk' you can supply me every day, is the county lord's Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city? This kind of stuff must be fresh, made on the same day, and thrown away overnight. ”

"Yes, just on the outskirts of the city, I heard that Sister-in-law Lu said that it was prepared for her after the county lord was born, and it had been taken care of by the eldest princess, but this year it was officially assigned to the county lord and managed by herself. We can follow Xiangfei's way of doing business, you say what time it will be delivered every day, we will deliver it on time, absolutely ensure freshness. ”

"Very good, in this way, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, from the day after tomorrow, send me a few cans of fresh 'milk' and fresh butter every day, I haven't made this kind of snack for a long time, let me have some time to practice again." I'll just give the finished product to the guests to try, and if the response is good, we'll talk about the details. ”

"Okay, I'll ask the county lord to arrange it when I go back. It's not easy to do business, and there are a lot of things to consider. ”

"The county lord has plenty of time to learn slowly, don't rush, I am happy to help the county lord graduate from the junior class as soon as possible."

"Hehe, Miss He is so funny. But fortunately, what is the girl, for others is really not so relieved, I replace the wine with tea, thank you here first, I wish the future business is prosperous, and the branch will be opened all over the capital. Chun'er picked up the teacup and greeted Xiangru.

"Thanksgiving to the auspicious words." Xiangru also picked up her teacup, and the two cups touched lightly in mid-air, making a crisp and beautiful sound
