074 Your Birthday Gift
Xiao Ling'er secretly stuck out her tongue, picked up the wine jug on the side and poured some wine into Mei Cheng'an's cup, "Well, this is Sister Shishi's own home-brewed medicinal wine, drink some in moderation to ward off the cold, and it is also suitable for you." ”
She said, hesitating for a moment and pouring a little more into her glass.
She is not particularly good at drinking, but she is not drunk with a glass, she can still drink a little, and they all say that it is best to talk about business at the wine table. This time, she didn't have big chips in her hands, so she had to use everything she could.
Mei Chengan may not have expected her to bring in a pot of wine, hooked the corner of her lips lightly, raised the wine glass and took a sip, "The aroma of the wine is very pure, not bad." ”
It's not bad again, Xiao Ling'er has always felt that the wine here is spicier than theirs, but the mellow fragrance is quite mellow, I can't imagine that although Mei Cheng'an was born with a golden key, he should be used to the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and he is still quite picky about this food.
She was a little embarrassed, and took a sip of her wine glass. Hiss...... Mu Shishi's wine here was spicier than the one she had tasted in Anding Village before, and she felt a little hot on her face just one sip.
"Mei Chengan, thank you, I really can't think of anything I can give you, you said that you have to have a little friendship, and after thinking about it, I just want to cook you a meal. It's just that I'm really not too good at it, and it doesn't taste good. But I didn't expect you to dislike it. ”
"It's a gift, it's a friendship, it's the first time you cooked, you deliberately learned cooking, and you took care of my body to make medicinal food, which is rare." Mei Cheng'an's amount of wine seems to be much better, a glass of wine has shallow a glass, and the expression on his face has not changed much.
Xiao Ling'er presented him another full glass, I don't know why, she looked at Mei Cheng'an today as if it was very different, her face was rarely less cold and angry, and it seemed that there were still some traces of warmth.
Warmth, these two words are indeed very inconsistent with Mei Cheng'an, but they really suddenly burst into Xiao Ling'er's head at that moment.
Probably because, she never imagined that one day she would eat and drink with Mei Chengan face to face and drink very calmly.
Xiao Ling'er's eyebrows raised slightly, "It turns out that you also know that this is called medicinal food, it is really more difficult to make than ordinary dishes, but the benefits to people are much better than ordinary food." Although it cannot be said that eating will cure the disease, but eating in moderation for a long time can indeed make the body much better. ”
"I know." Mei Chengan nodded, "The third brother didn't like bitterness since he was a child, and sometimes he was sick and didn't want to take medicine, so he asked the doctor to prescribe some medicinal diets, so that he could eat a little." ”
Third brother?
Xiao Ling'er knew that Mei Cheng'an's relationship with the second young master Mei Yongxin had never been very good, and the third brother he said should be the third young master of the Mei family, I heard that he was much younger than Mei Cheng'an and Mei Yongxin, and Xiao Ling'er hadn't seen it.
When the topic came to this, Xiao Ling'er was also a little interested, dragging her chair and sitting much closer in the direction of Mei Cheng'an, and her tone was also raised.
"Eh, that Mei Cheng'an, you say...... How about I open a shop like Medicinal Diet? ”
"Your cooking skills, I'm afraid you won't be able to get on the table." Mei Chengan finally told the truth.
Xiao Ling'er waved her hand, "Of course I didn't do it, I will definitely invite a cook when the time comes." But I looked, there is no such shop in Tang County, if you open one, maybe it's not bad. ”
"So this banquet set up today also has a different purpose."
Mei Cheng'an immediately heard her thoughts and raised his wine glass.
When it came to this, Xiao Ling'er naturally didn't hide it, she simply raised her wine glass and closed her eyes.
Wine is indeed a good thing sometimes, after a glass of wine, Xiao Ling'er felt that she was a lot more courageous, and she moved closer to Mei Cheng'an, and raised her hand, "You say so, it's not impossible." But this purpose is not bad. You see, there is no medicinal food shop in Tang County until now, if we open the first one, wouldn't it set a precedent, there will be a lot of people curious to come, and it is different from ordinary restaurants, the effect of medicinal food can replace some medicinal materials, and it can strengthen the body and regulate the body, for a rich and noble family like you, there should be a lot of attraction. ”
"There's some truth to that." Although Mei Chengan said this, his face did not change in the slightest, "However, we? Listen to what you mean, this medicinal diet is going to pull me along? ”
Mei Chengan then sipped the wine in the cup and looked at Xiao Ling'er in front of him.
This wine is indeed a little spicy, and the stamina is also great, this girl should not be very good at drinking, only two glasses of wine in her stomach, and her face has become a little ruddy. It's a pity that she herself is unconscious, and her fighting spirit is high, "Hehe, Mei Cheng'an, there's no way, Sister Shishi and I want to open the shop on South Street, but the shops on South Street are expensive and few, and it must be stressful to rely on the two of us to open it." But you are different, you are the young master of the Mei family, and three or four of the ten shops on South Street must be yours. I took a look, the two on the street are also yours, they were originally in the pharmacy business, but it should be too close to Baicaotang, and the business is not prosperous, and I think I also want to transfer or switch to other ideas. Mei Cheng'an, why don't you think about it and prescribe medicinal food with us? ”
Originally, Xiao Ling'er didn't plan to pull Mei Chengan into the business of her and Sister Shishi's medicinal food shop, but after looking around the South Street shop, it was the best way to feel less pressure. What's more, the prestige of the Mei family in the treatment of diseases is there, and if this medicinal diet can be linked to the Mei family, it can also be more convincing.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it's just to find a backer for yourself.
It's a pity that this backer is not so easy to take, Mei Chengan listened, and he didn't show any interest in his expression, but he raised his eyebrows slightly, "The Mei family's joining is indeed very beneficial to your medicinal food shop, but for me, I don't see any benefit in joining." ”
"How so?" Xiao Ling'er snapped her fingers, "You think, anyway, your pharmacy is also going to transfer to other businesses, instead of renting it out to others, it is better to lower the price to us, I will treat it as if you have also joined the shares, and when you make money, you will definitely give you dividends." ”
"Stake?"
Mei Cheng'an repeated, Xiao Ling'er immediately waved her hand, she was really drunk too much, and everything came out, "It's a partnership to do business, when the time comes, count you as a share, and you will do the same when we make money, anyway, it's all business, why not cooperate with us?" ”
"Opening a shop is not as simple as you think." Mei Cheng'an naturally thinks much more than Xiao Ling'er, "Not to mention the shop, when this medicinal diet is opened, all aspects must be taken care of, the cook is extremely important, and this medicinal diet recipe must also be checked by a special doctor." What's more, the medicinal food shop is indeed the first one, not as much competition as other restaurants, but how can you ensure that this first one will definitely meet the taste of Tang County people, and it will definitely attract them to frequent it. If you can't do these two things, let alone make money in the future, I'm afraid it will be easy to cause trouble. ”
"The medicinal recipe is simple." Xiao Ling'er pursed her lips, "Sister Shishi has a bunch of them, when the time comes, I will find a cook to teach some medicinal recipes, Sister Shishi will supervise, nothing will happen." As for the taste...... Ahem. ”
Xiao Ling'er said, the wine glass she had just lifted was a little jerky, and she choked on a sip of wine and coughed several times.
Mei Chengan stopped her wine glass, "If you don't know how to drink, drink less, this wine is very strong." ”
It's a pity that Xiao Ling'er's wine strength has already risen, and the wine that she originally thought was very spicy has actually become delicious, and she can't help but raise her head and take a glass of it.
This is good, and his face is even more rosy.
Mei Chengan frowned and glanced at Wen Yan on the side, "Go and borrow a bowl of hangover soup in the back kitchen." ”
"Yes, young master." Wen Yan looked at Xiao Ling'er, and knew that she was afraid that she would not be able to drink alcohol because of the amount of alcohol, so she hurriedly responded and retreated.
Xiao Ling'er frowned, "Mei Cheng'an, I didn't drink too much, you see, I can still talk to you about business." ”
Mei Chengan hooked the corners of his lips and softened his expression a little, and he didn't refute, but said: "I know, but I didn't expect that you came to me today because of the shop, I thought it was because of your birthday." ”
"My birthday?"
"At the beginning of next month, your birthday is approaching, can you forget?"
"Huh? Oh, really. Xiao Ling'er shook her head and thought about it hard, as if it was indeed her birthday next month.
Where did she think so much, in her previous life, she rarely celebrated her birthday. This body was not hers, at this time last year, she just came over, and she ran into the matter of selling her body, and when she arrived in Anding Village, she thought that she could quickly earn some money to feed and wear, so she naturally put it on hold, so that this year passed.
didn't expect that she forgot about her birthday, but Mei Chengan actually remembered.
"Ahem...... I've never been a birthday, but if you want to say that, it's okay, then Mei Cheng'an, since you mentioned it, if it's a birthday, you have to give a birthday gift or something, otherwise...... Shop? ”
If it was time to change her sobriety, Xiao Ling'er would never say this, but after a few glasses of wine, those words came out around the corner, and even coquettishness was used.
Mei Chengan chuckled, but he didn't even seem to eat this set, "I will give it as a birthday gift, but I have other preparations." ”
As he spoke, he brought a small box from the side, which he had brought with Wen Yan when he came in, just waiting for Xiao Ling'er to come over and open it.
He gently placed it on the table in front of Xiao Ling'er.
"For me?"
"Your birthday gift should have been given on your birthday, but it's hard to say whether you will be free that day, since you met today, you will send it in advance."
