Chapter 44: Three Points
Hua Qingyan made a pot of chrysanthemum tea and returned to the hall again, the two children got a satisfactory answer and had already gone to play in the yard, and Jin Nanshu found a chair to sit down without entertaining.
The chair was prepared by Hua Qingyan for fear that the two children would fall, so it was a little small, and a petite woman like Hua Qingyan and Bi'er could barely sit down, but like Jin Nanshu, she couldn't see it when she sat on it. But the tall Jin Nanshu sat on it instead of feeling aggrieved, but was very chic and free, as if sitting on a chaise longue, his posture was elegant and graceful.
Hua Qingyan looked at his appearance, which was really incompatible with his humble house.
Hua Qingyan handed over a cup of tea: "Please drink tea." β
Jin Nanshu waved his hand unceremoniously, but instead of showing any dissatisfaction and disgust for the black ceramic cup, he showed a strong interest in the tea with light yellow and green flowers and white chrysanthemums. The constant fragrance from the tip of his nose made him eagerly take a sip of his cup. He smacked his lips, reminiscing about the cool and sweet mouth, and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea, sure enough, you still have a lot of good things here, and the Ruiwang Mansion in Yongjing is not as attractive to me as you!" β
Hua Qingyan knew that there was an exaggeration in this, what kind of place was Rui Wang's Mansion, everyone knew that there were countless treasures in it, and she didn't dare to compare it with such an existence. But she is not presumptuous, she has a lot of things in her mind that are not well known to the world. However, Hua Qingyan knows most about flowers and things related to them, such as the characteristics of flowers, flower tea and all foods and drinks that can be integrated with flowers. This specialty hobby perfectly echoes her surname.
However, these Hua Qingyan would not tell Jin Nanshu that she did not understand the purpose of Jin Nanshu's trip. After all, Qi Yu had only come a few days ago, and it was not yet time to harvest cauliflowers, Hua Qingyan didn't think that such a big Guanlanju would only collect cauliflowers from his own place.
Jin Nanshu finished drinking the tea in the cup and added another cup to himself, and then said leisurely: "The dishes that can be made by cauliflower seem to be simpler, and some restaurants have also launched this dish." Jin Nanshu paused, and then smiled amoryly, "I naturally believe that it wasn't Miss Qingyan who leaked the recipe, it's only because those chefs are too smart." β
Jin Nanshu stopped talking, tilted his head to look at Hua Qingyan, although his words were vague, but they were easy to understand, as long as he was not a fool, he could understand the meaning.
But Hua Qingyan just didn't understand, blinking and staring at him ignorantly. The two looked at each other for a long time, looking at Hua Qingyan who was pretending to be stupid, Jin Nanshu suddenly burst out laughing. The delicate eyebrows and eyes were curved because they were too brilliant, and those bright eyes shone with an indispensable brilliance. His already vivid expression was as bright as the sun. Hua Qingyan inexplicably felt like it was in the middle of summer, and the sun-loving flowers were blooming at that moment.
It wasn't until Jin Nanshu stopped laughing that Hua Qingyan came back to her senses, she was actually stunned by Jin Nanshu's beauty! She picked up the cup and tried to hide her slightly hot face because of this recognition, and saw Jin Nanshu take out two pieces of paper from his sleeve and put them on the table, pushing them in front of Hua Qingyan, "Look at this." He waited expectantly for her reaction.
Hua Qingyan took a look at it, it was a contract in duplicate, and it was written - three points of the profits from Guanlanju's future business belonged to Hua Qingyan!
There is not only the engraved seal of Jin Nanshu on it, but also another unique seal. The seal is so small that it's easy to overlook if you don't look closely. The seal is an auspicious cloud, and there is a simple word "ink" on it, and the seal is also ink-colored, which makes people feel a little surprised and calm. There is still a blank space in the lower right corner, which seems to be waiting for its owner to sign off on it with immediate effect.
However, a trace of anger gradually appeared on Hua Qingyan's face!
She didn't know what Jin Nanshu meant, but she also understood the truth that there is no free lunch in the world! You must know that Guanlanju is not only a store in Chaoyang Town, even if the combined profit of the entire Daqi branch is only 30% of it, it is also an astronomical amount, and the silver pile up is definitely comparable to the mountain peak behind her yard! Sending so much silver to himself for no reason, if there is no cat greasy in it, Hua Qingyan will definitely not believe it!
But Hua Qingyan is now, to put it mildly, she is an orphan girl, and to put it badly, she is a fugitive who will lose her life at any time, and the only thing that can be used by Jin Nanshu is the novel recipes in his head. But this is not enough to make Jin Nanshu spend such a large price. So what did Jin Nanshu want to send so much silver to her?
Hua Qingyan sank her face, the secret of space was naturally impossible. But to say that in addition to Fang Zi, the only thing she can handle now is this face! Thinking of this, the anger on Hua Qingyan's face was even worse!
Hua Qingyan pushed the contract back with a gloomy face, stared at Jin Nanshu with wide eyes, and said in a cold tone: "Jin Nanshu, although I am poor and poor, I have not lost my dignity and backbone. If you want to use these three percent to imprison me, then bother you with where you are going back and forth now, and leave without stopping! β
Jin Nanshu was a little dumbfounded, he completely guessed Hua Qingyan's reaction. According to his thoughts, Hua Qingyan should be ecstatic, but he didn't expect it to be so fierce, and he refused with righteous words, and let him get out!
Hua Qingyan's cheeks were flushed with anger, her peach blossom eyes were wide open, and there seemed to be a scorching fire inside. Because of the detachment from the Hua family's hard work and conscious recuperation, the body bones are also plump, and the skin has changed from a lack of nutrients yellow back to the original white, delicate and smooth. Although she was wearing Hu Baizhi's old clothes, she was also eighty percent new, and there were a few peony flowers embroidered at the collar, which made the flowers even more beautiful.
Jin Nanshu's heart moved, and he seemed to understand why Hua Qingyan reacted like this. Ordinary people can't resist such beauty!
However, Jin Nanshu is not a hypocrite who takes advantage of the danger of others and tries to occupy the beauty, he coughed lightly, straightened his face and said: "Miss Qingyan is afraid that she will misunderstand someone Jin, my three-percent profit is not as dirty as Miss Qingyan thinks." He smiled faintly, still with suspicious eyes at Shanghua Qingyan, "This Sanchengli wants to tie Miss Qingyan and Guanlanju together, Jin wants to get more new dishes from the girl, and can't think of a better way to impress and repay the girl, so he can only make this decision to let the girl see Jin Mou's sincerity, but I didn't expect to cause such a misunderstanding." β
Jin Nanshu's tone was sincere, and Hua Qingyan couldn't see any different colors on his face. Only then did she realize that she was thinking too much about herself and making herself amorous. Although she didn't know if Jin Nanshu was a righteous gentleman, she also felt that Jin Nanshu should not be judged so arbitrarily, and Jin Nanshu's reasons were too reasonable, but they were exaggerated.
After figuring it out, Hua Qingyan smiled awkwardly and wanted to apologize to Jin Nanshu, but felt that the apology was a little pale at this time.
Jin Nanshu is a person who is good at observing words and feelings, and is very empathetic, so he took the initiative to avoid the topic, and only said: "Girl, think about it, this is a business that is sure to make money without losing money." β
Hua Qingyan was a little moved, but after thinking about it carefully, she shook her head and said, "It's too much, I can't accept it." And I can't come up with that many recipes. β
All she knows are home-cooked dishes, and it's just those over and over again, but it's just a change of side dishes, as the so-called change of soup does not change medicine, and the chefs of Guanlanju will definitely be able to study it if they give some time. And compared to cooking, she is actually better at dim sum. But she already has a plan in mind for dim sum, so she doesn't plan to sell the dim sum recipe.
It's just that so much silver really makes her greedy, and just when Jin Nanshu sighed in disappointment, Hua Qingyan suddenly got up and took the pen and ink from the room and added a few words to the contract. Jin Nanshu looked at her actions in surprise, and then smiled clearly, feeling a little more good for Hua Qingyan in his heart.
ββThirty percent of the monthly income of Guanlanju in Chaoyang Town belongs to Hua Qingyan, and it is permanently valid.
This woman is bright and moving, smart and cunning, but pure and good-natured, not arrogant or impatient, not like the canaries raised by the so-called family in Yongjing. And faintly has a bearing similar to that person, so Jin Nanshu had to sigh in his heart, sure enough, they are all behind the door!
After getting the contract signed by Hua Qingyan and getting a new recipe, Jin Nanshu was finally satisfied. He, a busy man, still has a lot to deal with, and more importantly, he sends the recipe back to Yongjing to someone. So he got up and said goodbye to Hua Qingyan.
Hua Qingyan didn't leave him behind, and sent people to the gate of the courtyard, but when Jin Nanshu got into the carriage, he suddenly asked, "Jin Nanshu, do you know the father of the two children?" β
"The child's father?" Jin Nanshu looked back at Hua Qingyan suspiciously, "Shouldn't I ask you about this?" That's your father-in-law. β
Hua Qingyan didn't expect to get such an answer, and the original expectation in her heart turned into loss in an instant. But she remembered the conversation between Jin Nanshu and the two children and Jin Nanshu's eyes looking at them, and asked unwillingly: "In that case, why do you say that to the children?" β
Jin Nanshu leaned against the wall of the car, opened the folding fan and shook it in a chic manner, and said: "It's always good to let the child down, sometimes it's appropriate to lie, you will find that our Daqi is full of hope." β
Looking at Jin Nanshu's natural expression, Hua Qingyan twitched the corners of her lips helplessly. Although she wondered why Jin Nanshu spoke inconsistently, she had already concluded in her heart at this moment that this Jin Nanshu knew her brother, and as for why he didn't tell the truth, it must be because this matter was very important, and she didn't want to get into trouble for herself. Then Jin Nanshu, who was in Guanlan Ju before, specially informed her of her name, and took special care of her in terms of money, all of which were explained.
Hua Qingyan was full of gratitude to Jin Nanshu for knowing that it was her trouble, and for helping her, so she smiled, her eyes were full of sincere gratitude, but she made up her mind in her heart that she would have less contact with Jin Nanshu in the future and try not to affect him.
Looking at Hua Qingyan, who was smiling like a flower, Jin Nanshu actually felt that he had some heart palpitations. It is said that the four beauties of Yongjing are as beautiful as fairies, and they are amazingly gorgeous, but Jin Nanshu feels that those are nothing at the moment, and this flower is really stunning! It's just that this Hua Qingyan is not well known because she rarely goes out and has a marriage contract since she was a child.
Even if this flower is just a light smile, it is like a peach blossom blooming on the branch, so beautiful that it is suffocating!
Jin Nanshu inexplicably wanted to take Hua Qingyan to Yongjing to let the big guy take a good look! But if you really take her to Yongjing, with the current situation, I'm afraid that she will be in the mouth of a tiger!
Jin Nanshu accepted this absurd thought, stared at Hua Qingyan with his eyes, and said with a smile: "But seriously, Jin has never seen Miss Qingyan's husband so many times, it won't really be missing, or he won't be able to come back, right?" If the girl wants to find another one, such as me, Jin will definitely consider taking a look! Saying that, she raised her eyebrows at Hua Qingyan and blinked, her eyes were like silk, and she had a variety of charms.
But he was answered with a slamming of the door.
Jin Nanshu looked at the already closed courtyard gate, thinking of Hua Qingyan's fleeting angry face, he couldn't help laughing a few times before jumping into the car and urging the guards to leave.
When passing by Hua Qingyan's two acres of wasteland, Jin Nanshu suddenly lifted the curtain of the car and glanced out, but he didn't expect to meet a pair of sharp and ancient eyes. Jin Nanshu was stunned, his eyes fell on the man's face, and the hideous scar that ran through the entire face broke into his eyes without warning. The two looked at each other for a moment, Jin Nanshu chuckled to himself, lowered the car curtain, and said as if talking to himself: "It seems that the feng shui of this mountain village is good, and it is not easy to look at one of them." β
