Lin Zheng opened his mouth to ask for advice, while Xiang Bei looked at the knife on the table with a dissatisfied expression.

"It was my rudeness. Lin Zheng laughed and put the knife behind him.

Xiang Bei told him: "I think so, the general serves the country, and the princess doesn't want to see the general embarrassed and lose face." The general could have gone and consulted with the princess to share the quota provided by the outside meal. Of course, this has to pay a certain benefit, but as long as the general gives it reasonably, he is willing to come to the princess. ”

"Then what should I give? It's just that I'm afraid the princess is not short of money, right?"

"The princess has sent someone to the street, wanting to buy a restaurant and hang up her own signboard. But I'm afraid that what can be bought is just a small restaurant, and the big restaurant will not sell it, and the general can provide some support to the princess in this matter. Send some other people to help the princess open the restaurant. I know that the general doesn't want to have another competitor, and it's going to be difficult to do so. But please think about it, even if you don't help now, the princess's restaurant will only operate later, and it will be a matter of time before it opens. After all, the weight of the princess is not comparable to many people in the royal family. ”

Lin Zheng pondered for a while, and finally nodded: "What Mr. said is that I have a restaurant in the west of the city that has not yet started business. If the princess wants, I can give it to the princess. In addition, personnel were dispatched from my Lin Fulou to help the princess improve the operation of the restaurant. But the chef doesn't provide it, unless the princess can teach all the ways to make dumplings. Rather than just having us attached to a spot, we prefer to do it ourselves. ”

"The method of making dumplings will naturally be handed over to you, and the cooperation must be sincere, and the princess will not object if you want to come. The dumplings are still made by you, our Xiangfu has been making this thing for the past few days, and we are almost unable to eat serious meals, and we don't want to do it anymore. But about the restaurant, does the general really want to send it?" Xiang Bei wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Lin Zheng said yes, he just wanted to send it. As he said, the princess has a noble status, and ordinary people are not qualified to send something to the princess. And more importantly, although the countries seem to be calm now, they always have a sense of imminent storm. He is a military general, whether he can make achievements in the battle or not, it is still the royal family who has the final say, and the weight of the princess's speech in front of the king is not low.

Xiang Bei praised: "The general is clear, your identity is a military general, and the restaurant is secondary." ”

"Then Mr. Lao will pass the word. ”

"Don't worry, the general is so sincere, the princess will definitely agree. As soon as the princess returns, I will consult with her immediately. The general should be prepared first. ”

"That's all up to Mr. ”

"You're welcome, it's a matter of duty. If nothing else, I'll take my leave, and my friend is still waiting in the private room downstairs. ”

"Sir, please, if you need anything, tell the waiter. Sir, the people in the house, all of them are free of charge in the future. ”

"Thank you for the generosity of the general and take his leave. ”

"Sir, please. ”

Xiang Bei left the room and went back to eat with Chu Jingtian. Chu Jingtian asked him what he had been talking about with Lin Zheng, for so long?

"Let's talk about the princess opening a restaurant, your uncle will eat quickly, let's go back and have something to do." ”

"You go up for a long time, I'm full, let's go. ”

Chu Jingtian put on a mask, and the two left Lin Fulou. As soon as he returned home, Xiang Bei instructed Xia Hua to find Xiao Jiu back, and there was no need to buy a shop anymore, this money could be saved. At the same time, tell the kitchen that there is no need to make dumplings anymore, and the yard is full of this thing, and it looks big.

Xiang Bei is really annoyed, the dumplings are delicious, but you can't eat them all day.

Today's matter is over, Chu Pity looked happy when he came back with Xiao Li, and he was still humming a little song in his mouth.

Xiang Bei was fiddling with the moon flower in the yard, seeing her like this, he asked her what's wrong, happy to be like this?

Chu regretfully shook a scroll of drawing paper in his hand: "Today I will compose a poem, do you want to read it?"

"Take a look. ”

Chu took pity and opened the scroll, and inside was the poem with the title of the painting painted by Xiang Bei in the palace. Xiang Bei asked if she made this poem?

"Hahaha, old Xiang, you continue to pretend" Chu took pity and handed the scroll to Xia Hua, asked her to take it and frame it, and stretched out his hand to put it on Xiang Bei's shoulder: "Is your brother's poem considered a pat on my ass?"

Xiang Bei said that it didn't count, he did it from the bottom of his heart, and it was all sincere praise.

"One look at the city, and then the country. Born with extraordinary jade, pity provokes pity. This boast is too fierce, and I am a little embarrassed myself. Your dude just wrote me on the wall with such a swagger, I have to say, well done. ”

Princess Xie praised. ”

"Don't worry, I'll give you another chance to play. I feel like the walls of your house are empty. You can go and paint my portraits, and there will be a few more poems like this. If you want to come to this house, it should be flourishing. ”

Hearing such a request, Xiang Bei was stunned on the spot: "Princess, just spare me." You treat me as illiterate, I didn't paint the painting, I didn't write the poem. It's someone in the palace who has a crush on you and has done these little actions, which has nothing to do with me. ”

"Hey, look scare you. Don't worry, I'll amuse you. It's good to keep the talent and take it slowly, and surprise me from time to time. Chu said pitifully, looking around: "Where are the dumplings in the yard?"

"I wrapped up the snow and kept it as a gift. The princess gave a list, and we sent them one by one. ”

"What about eating outside the winter banquet in the palace?"

"I was about to talk to the princess, I saw Lin Zheng today. ”

Xiang Bei pulled Chu into the house and told her in detail about his conversation with Lin Zheng.

Chu was a little dissatisfied after hearing this: "Old Xiang, how did you do it, your brain is in water, why did your work change again after a while." We are in competition with Lin Fulou, why are you still cooperating with him. Don't be greedy for temporary gain. ”

"Princess, listen to me, competition does not hinder cooperation. I think the fat man is right, you have to leave professional things to professional people to do. In cooperation with Lin Fu Lou, our restaurant will soon be on the right track. If we do it ourselves, I am afraid that we will take a lot of unjust roads. And the restaurant is not important, you and I should not be distracted too much for the sake of the restaurant. Therefore, in cooperation with Lin Fulou, there is almost no need to do a little research on your own, Lin Fulou is the most mature restaurant in the country. ”

"That's all. ”

"What's more, Lin Zhengnai is a Tianwu general. It is not appropriate to be at odds with a general at this time. As for competition, as long as our wine and food are brilliant enough, are we afraid that we will not be able to compete with him in the future? And we don't suffer either. Eating outside the winter banquet is an advertisement, and cooperating with Lin Fulou is also an advertisement. This time, we worked with Lin Fulou to provide outside food for the winter banquet, giving consumers the feeling that our new restaurant is of the same grade as Lin Fulou. It's easy to attract initial consumers, and it's beneficial. ”

After listening to Xiang Bei's words, Chu felt reasonable: "Then listen to you, send Uncle Bo to Lin Fulou and teach them to make dumplings." To talk about specific cooperation with Dongxue, we just need to count the money. The chairman of the board of directors is only in charge of counting money, no matter what you do so much, you don't need to tell me about this kind of thing in the future. ”

Chu pity suddenly came to the bright again.

Xiang Bei asked who should the dumplings that had been wrapped be given to?

Chu took pity and said that the officials in the palace should give one each.

Xiang Bei disagreed: "If you think this is good, give it to our hired person." When the time comes, we will send it to them together with the winter cover, so that they can take it home and taste it, which proves that we are a very good welfare unit. ”

"Okay, then give it to them, the princess is supposed to cherish her subordinates. ”

"I don't pay my salary until I love it. "Xiang Bei is fine, just talk about this.
