11 Open a store
Today's weather seems to be a joke on Lan Meng, the heavy rain is like beads like broken threads, constantly falling, and the rainwater flowing down from the roof of the house collects into streams on the street.
The two busy figures walked around the wet street frequently, and finally stopped in front of a simple inn.
"Miss, this is the last inn in the capital."
"Well, let's go inside!"
Lan Meng and the others walked all the inns in the capital, but they didn't find Cheng Cai's family, and the clothes and dresses on their bodies were wet from the rain. Seeing that there was only one inn left in the capital, the hopes she had had been wiped out by the previous disappointments.
As soon as Lan Meng and the others stepped into the inn, they saw Xiao Ling, Xiao Ding was playing on the stairs and jumping grid, she happily ran straight over: "Xiao Ling! ”
"Pretty sister!" Xiao Ling shouted excitedly when she saw Lan Meng.
Lan Meng happily hugged her and kissed her on the cheek: "Do you miss your sister?" ”
"Yes!" Xiao Ling giggled.
"Girl, you're here." Xiao Ding pulled Cheng Cai and his wife out.
"Brother Cheng, sister-in-law Axiu." Lan Meng greeted politely.
"Girl, come in and sit down!" Cheng Cai, a big man, looked a little restrained in the face of a rich lady like Lan Meng.
"Hmm." Lan Meng followed them to the guest room, looked at the five people living in a guest room, and asked uncomfortably: "The money I gave you, in addition to eating, should be enough to open two guest rooms." ”
"Girl, although it is a little crowded to live like this, it is already a great gift to us. Without your help, our whole family wouldn't have survived. I've already discussed with Ah Xiu, and we'll start going out tomorrow to find a job, so that we can settle a place to live, and we can slowly save money to pay you back. Cheng Cai said gratefully.
After listening to Cheng, Lan Meng finished speaking, and then remembered the purpose of coming out today. She took out two hundred taels of silver tickets from her pocket, handed them to Cheng Cai, and said seriously: "Don't go out to look for a job, it just so happens that I want to open a store, so you can help me work." ”
"This-" Cheng Cai was stunned with the silver ticket.
"That's right, I don't know the place in the capital, and my identity is not convenient to show up, so I used this money to rent a shop for you. The shop doesn't have to be too big, look for the kind that can live in people. In this way, I can do business, and your family will have a place to live, killing two birds with one stone. ”
"Thank you, girl, my Cheng Cai family will definitely make cows and horses for you." Cheng Cai knelt down excitedly.
"Brother Cheng, don't be like this, the man has gold under his knees, if you kneel to me like this, I will lose my life." Lan Meng hurriedly helped Cheng Cai up.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself to you. My name is Ziyi, and her name is Ling'er. ”
Lan Meng used her modern name back, because she was now a princess and a princess, and she was afraid that saying it would scare them. Besides, sooner or later, she will have to come out of the palace, and it will be impossible to live as a blue dream at that time.
Ling'er looked at the princess puzzled, why did the princess lie, why did she lie about her name. She was about to open her mouth to ask for an explanation, but Lan Meng kicked her with her foot and motioned for her to keep quiet. After receiving the princess's warning, Ling'er stood aside in silence.
"Miss Ziyi, don't worry, the matter of finding a shop is on me." Cheng Cai patted his chest and promised.
After a few days of traveling, Cheng finally found a suitable shop at the end of the downtown street. Although the façade of the shop is not large, it has a small backyard with three wings and a separate kitchen. This is already a luxurious residence for Cheng Cai's family.
In order to tidy up the shop, Lan Meng was busy running at both ends all day long. However, no matter how busy she was, she would return to the palace on time every afternoon to prepare dinner for Litian. Because she was afraid that she would be unhappy with the sky, she issued a grounding order again.
After half a month of hard work, the store of Blue Dream opened in full swing. Lan Meng has no ambitions for a grand cause, she feels that she is just a little woman, as long as she can survive in this country safely, and at the same time can help Cheng Cai's family have a place to eat and live, she will be content.
Lan Meng considered the situation of funds and manpower, and she finally chose to open a small noodle restaurant. In addition to the usual way of eating, her noodles are also infused with modern hot and sour noodles, jajanjangmyeon, and pasta. It is served with dumplings, fried chicken wings, french fries, teppanyaki snacks and finally stewed soup. In general, there are all that the noodle shop should have, and there are also those that should not be. Blue Dream also gave it a domineering signboard: If there is a kind, you will come!
On the second day of the opening of the Blue Dream shop, Litian got up as usual and summoned the maidservant to come and dress and wash. But I didn't expect it to be Blue Dream who walked in.
"Lord Wang, you are up. I feel that as a princess, I deserve to come and serve you. Lan Meng said as he helped him get dressed.
"Oh, why didn't this king know when the princess knew her identity so well?" Li Tian looked at Lan Meng, who was busy helping him dress, and his heart was happy.
"I heard that there is a noodle restaurant in the capital that says "you can come if there is a kind", and this shop is so angry, I want you to accompany me to the kicking restaurant. Lan Meng said in an unconvinced tone.
When Litian heard the words "I miss you", he was so happy that he had long forgotten that he was going to court today, and hurriedly agreed: "Okay, this king will accompany you!" ”
Although the façade of this noodle restaurant is not large, the layout of the store is quite warm. It may be because the store is newly opened, the location of the shop is not conspicuous, and there are not too many customers. Litian followed Lan Meng into the store, and sat down at a table near the corner.
"Guest, what do you want to eat?" Cheng Cai stepped forward to ask.
The day before, Lan Meng explained to him, saying that she would bring a distinguished guest over tomorrow, and then he would pretend not to know her, and specially explained that he would prepare more ingredients today. Cheng Cai was originally an honest man who kept to himself, and he only did what Lan Meng ordered, and never asked.
"Just take a portion of everything." Lan Meng said with a grin.
After a while, a table full of delicacies was placed in front of the two of them, and Litian couldn't help frowning: "Are you sure, we can finish eating these?" ”
"If you can't finish eating, you can pack it, come and try it." After Lan Meng finished speaking, he picked up a dumpling and put it in Litian's mouth.
Litian enjoyed Lan Meng's feeding, and after every bite, he said that it was delicious, which made Lan Meng's heart sweet.
"Lord Wang, since the food in this shop is so delicious, let's pack twenty servings of each and bring it back, and distribute it to the people in the palace to eat, so that they can also try it, okay?" Lan Meng stared coquettishly at the sky.
"Are you sure twenty of each?" Litian looked at Lan Meng suspiciously.
"Well, as long as you are willing to agree, I will accompany you tonight." Lan Meng's face was serious.
"Good! The king answered. "Litian has long been irrational.
