Chapter 9: Trouble
Counting, she hasn't eaten spicy crayfish for a long time.
There doesn't seem to be a chili pepper here, it's made with dogwood to make it spicy, and the taste is not spicy enough and fragrant, which makes people unaccustomed to it.
Another day, let the buyers in the restaurant search and search, so that the chef can research and research new dishes.
"Miss, there seems to be a lot of trouble over there, and the tables have been lifted." This is a restaurant under your name, Dong Nuan reminded in a whisper.
"Don't mind, it's the shopkeeper's business, we're just diners who come to eat. Winter is warm, look at how thin you are, eat more vegetables. ”
Helan Xue leisurely sandwiched a piece of sashimi for Dong Nuan: "Taste, the chef's knife skills are very good, and the fish here is very good." Ah~"
Hearing this, Dong Nuan subconsciously opened her mouth, letting Helan Xue taste the joy of feeding.
After realizing what shameful things he had just done in public, Dong Nuan forgot his usual rules and couldn't help but glare at his master, who had sworn allegiance for the rest of his life.
Helan Xue just smiled happily towards Dong Nuan.
It's been a long, long, long time since she's had it so easy like this.
Let the past pass, maybe she really shouldn't let her cousin's death be a shackle for the rest of her life.
He is such a gentle and powerful man, like the evening light among the flowers, like the wind in the mountains, like poetry, like wine, like all good things.
If only she had known that she would be imprisoned because of him. Such a warm teenager would be sad, right?
Lin Shuyao on the side scooped a bowl of soup casually, and after listening to the words of Dong Nuan and Lin Shuying before, he also looked over there with great interest, but he was surprised: "Ah! Fights began. ”
Lin Shuyao exclaimed slightly, and Helan Xue was finally willing to put down the corn juice she was just about to drink, and gave them a look in the direction they were pointing.
I saw a porcelain white saucer with an inky blue orchid bottom turned into a high-speed spinning dart and hit it.
- Suffer!
Regardless of exposing her martial arts, Helan Xue moved her body and blocked in front of Lin Shuyao, who was drinking pork rib soup, and steadily caught the porcelain plate.
"Miss! Are you okay?! ”
"Sister! Are you okay?! ”
Two voices with different contents sounded at the same time, male and female voices were intertwined, but Helan Xue knew which one was warm in winter and which one was Lin Shuying's without distinguishing.
She rolled her eyes, this sister control. I don't want to think that her martial arts are so high, will she let Lin Shuyao have an accident under her nose?
It's those people, Helan Xue is beautiful, it's time for her to teach them how to behave.
She had been quiet for so long that she almost forgot what a murderous person she had been. She was able to become the senior sister and future head of the Flying Feather Sect, not by lip service and intrigues, but by force far superior to others.
Helan Xue put down the porcelain plate that looked like a work of art: "Shuying, take a good look, this is the second lesson for the teacher to teach you!" ”
After speaking, Helan Xueshui danced with her sleeves, hung on the beams of the house, jumped up with her strength, and kicked the two big men who were making trouble in the chest with skill.
The two big men were suddenly stopped by the outside world, and their internal strength was devoured, and they each vomited a mouthful of blood.
At this time, Helan Xue took advantage of her unpreparedness, rolled up her water sleeves, and threw the two big men to the ground:
"Now we can discuss how you plan to compensate the restaurant, and our customers for meals and mental damages."
In the whole competition, Helan Xue did not use internal force, but she taught the two people who had practiced a lesson.
Although Lin Shuying did not speak, his eyes were full of eagerness, and he became more determined about learning martial arts.
But Dong Nuan and Lin Shuyao were a little stunned when they saw Helan Xue make a move for the first time. However, they quickly adjusted, and while the troublemakers lost their mobility, they approached Helan Xue and blocked her behind her, blocking the eyes of others with bad intentions.
Lin Shuying's reaction was a little slower than theirs, but she was very witty and took the feather hat that He Lanxue had picked up to facilitate eating, and then Lin Shuyao put it back on Helan Xue.
After a while, the three of them protected Helan Xue tightly behind them.
Seeing this scene, Helan Xue was amused and moved, and was just about to speak, but there was a crisp applause in the field where she was suppressed.
A red figure flew down from the private room on the second floor, and a male and female face appeared in front of him.
This is a very handsome teenager. The eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, and the elegance is peerless. Although he was born beautiful, he did not misidentify his gender:
"What a great skill, admired in Xia'an, the girl's name?"
"It's good." People are also good-looking.
Helan Xue didn't reply immediately, but praised first.
An Jingmu's identity doesn't look ordinary, she didn't hide her appearance when she came out this time, even if she didn't say it, An Jingmu would definitely be able to find out, and simply reported to her family directly:
"The first time we met, the little girl Helan Mansion's second daughter, Helan Xue."
The feather hat covered Helan Xue's almond eyes and Qiong nose, revealing only fair and tender skin and a cherry lips, adding a lot of mysterious aura to Helan Xue.
An Jingmu remembered the face that he had glimpsed before, and felt that the rumors were misleading:
"I heard that the second daughter of Helan Mansion is talented but cowardly by nature, but it seems that this is not the case."
What cowardly person dares to be so flamboyant in public.
"The rumors have always been three points true and seven points false, how can Gongzi An believe them all?"
Helan Xue's beautiful eyes turned, and her cherry lips hooked.
Sample, dare to provoke her.
Although An Jingmu's martial arts are still average, she will definitely not be able to beat her alone.
But there is still a not weak atmosphere in the box, if the two of them deal with her together, she will have to take care of the three of them.
If you fight like this, the results are really a bit disparity.
"Helan girl, meeting is fate, why don't you go to my private room for a drink?"
The devil is going!
Suddenly I heard a sound of footsteps,
Is it finally out?
The shopkeeper of the restaurant.
"Thank you Gongzi An for your kindness, today, I'm afraid the little girl won't be able to go."
"Miss, please inside." A young man of about twenty-five years old came out and made a gesture of invitation to Helan Xue, presumably recognizing the special waist card.
"In this way, I won't bother much." An Jingmu said regretfully: "I will invite you to dinner next time." ”
"Okay." After speaking, no longer looking at An Jingmu, Helan Xue said to the shopkeeper: "Change the table in the corner with a table of good dishes, and I will go with you." ”
"Yes." After instructing Xiao Er to clean up the mess and serve the food, the young shopkeeper led Helan Xue away.
As for the three of them, they don't worry about them at all. Let's not say that this is Helan Xue's restaurant, and besides, their young lady/master's martial arts are so high, who can bully them?
basement
- I'll go, a wall of night yin beads, how rich this drunken moon building is!
Helan Xue complained wildly in her heart.
That kind of liveliness is not the same as before she didn't wear it, but it is a little less false and disguised.
She's really letting go of the knots in her heart.
"Little master, in Xia Yechen, he is the shopkeeper of the Drunken Moon Building." Yechen knelt down towards Helan Xue, but it did not mean surrender.
"Get up, if I'm not mistaken. The shop that my mother left me is not only making money, but also collecting information. ”
Ye Chen was shocked, the little master was much smarter than he imagined, no wonder the waist card arrived in her hand so quickly, he thought that at least wait until the little master was officially married.
"Yes, in the fifteen years since Madame left, we have not slackened off, and have been sparing no effort to collect intelligence.
"Those silver taels given to the Fang clan are actually less than one-ten-thousandth of what we earned.
"The real money-making business has never been to open a restaurant, but to sell intelligence."
After a pause, Yechen continued:
"The little master's waist card seems to only allow you to enter and leave the mansion freely, but in fact, its other important role is to mobilize assets and make us people obey you."
Parents love their children, and they have far-reaching plans for them.
Helan Xue nodded thoughtfully and said the first request:
"Give me the information you've gathered and the information and materials of our people."
"Yes, little master, the target of you is too obvious with these things, so let our people send them to you later."
Helan Xue thought about it, the secret of the space ring can't be exposed for the time being, so let's follow their way:
"Well, you're more experienced in this kind of thing. How much movable money do we have to date? ”
"Rich rivals the country."
Helan Xue gasped, although the Flying Feather Sect had a lot of property, she had never had so much money in her hands, and she felt a little hot for a while.
But she quickly calmed down, muttered for a while, and expressed her opinion on the development of Zuiyue Tower:
"Good. However, although it looks good now, Zuiyue Lou has been resting on its laurels for too long.
"The business lies in innovation, and our intelligence network in the capital is currently very impressive, but the information control in other remote areas is too backward.
"Only by constantly innovating can Zuiyue Building be further developed."
Yechen's opinion on Helan Xue is not serious, after all, the current situation of Zuiyue Tower can be seen by everyone, but the market has become saturated, and it is difficult to make any progress.
He noted the difficulties in implementing the plan:
"That's right, but the relationship between supply and demand has reached a state of equilibrium, and once it is broken, it will fall into a worse situation. It is not an ordinary difficulty to make real reforms. ”
"It's okay, take your time, I'm not in a hurry. It's just that I hope you guys don't keep me waiting too long, I'll be disappointed. ”
Helan Xue waved her hand, signaling Yechen not to be entangled:
"I have a few suggestions here that you can listen to selectively."
As she paced, she recounted the whimsical ideas that came to her mind:
"The Zuiyue Building has a good review, the dishes are novel, and the service level is high, which is an advantage. But people always like the new and hate the old, and I suggest you put more effort into renovating the renovation of Zuiyue Building. It's best to renovate it every few quarters to keep people fresh about the Zuiyue Building.
"The first floor is a place for the masses to eat, you can get some fresh and warm colors, tables and chairs can be carved with some patterns, and you can also add some small cubicles in the corners.
"On the second floor is a separate private room, which is usually a place where the literati are elegant. Here, we can continue to go the high-end route.
"We can have a theme for each private room, for example, with plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, lotus and other high-end plants as the theme, and some potted plants with the effect of purifying the air can also be placed in the corner, so that the room always maintains a fresh and natural state.
"The scenery of Zuiyue Tower is unique, and there is always no shortage of literati and ink writers who like to compose poems and inscriptions. If we are lucky enough to come across a wonderful work, we can buy the owner's calligraphy with silver money, and set aside a wall to hang the wonderful poems of the literati or the paintings of the beautiful shapes and spirits.
"There is also a way to make money, that is, when you meet a literati who wants to improvise poems and paint without paper and pen, the restaurant can charge some silver and provide pen, ink, paper and inkstone, anyway, these people are not bad for money.
"I'll just think of this for the time being, you can do it."
Helan Xue talked eloquently, and the more Yechen listened, the brighter her eyes became, and she wrote it down very seriously.
Firmness didn't know when it replaced the wavering in his eyes, and the original lady wanted them to obey the orders of the little master, and he was angry in his heart.
But today, when I saw that the little master, who was less than fifteen years old, was so assertive, Yechen really recognized Helan Xue.
A private room in the drunken moon building,
"Well, you didn't invite anyone, did you? Are you willing to lose? ”
Gu Yingmo looked at An Jingmu playfully.
"What does it matter? The game has only reached seventy-five rounds, and you've only beaten me by one round. Isn't it just a meal at Zuiyue Tower? Master, I still lose. ”
An Jingmu was humble and polite in front of him again, and unceremoniously argued with Gu Yingmo and said:
"It's not like someone, even this time the tribute Colorful Night Yin Bead has lost."
Gu Yingmo's face was black: This unforgiving goods on his lips will die if he doesn't poke his wounds, right?
Originally, this night yin bead was intended to be given to An Jingmu, but now seeing his triumphant appearance, he was not happy in his heart.
Thinking in his heart, Gu Yingmo didn't notice that his eyes were full of inadvertent tenderness. He wanted to go back, but for some reason, he suddenly fell silent.
Little by little, the atmosphere in the air became awkward, and a strange feeling crept in.
Just now, the two of them made a bet if they could invite Helan Xue over for dinner.
Please come up, An Jingmu wins, this meal Gu Yingmo please; If you don't invite it, it's the opposite.
The current situation is that Gu Yingmo is slightly better.
But now no one cares about this, An Jingmu uncomfortably taps the tiger's mouth with a folding fan, looking graceful:
"Seriously, the second lady of Helan Mansion has never appeared in public, and today you and I met by luck, but we accidentally found out that this girl knows martial arts, and I don't know if it's luck or misfortune."
When will the little prince of Jin'an Wangfu worry about this?
Gu Yingmo knew that this drunkard didn't mean to drink, but he never exposed it, but cooperated:
"That's not exactly. But what does it matter to us? Even if it concerns us, it's just a matter of soldiers coming to block it, and water coming to cover it. ”
