In addition to the daily beauty lemonade, eating grilled fish and oysters with a spoonful of natural lemon juice is even more delicious!

Thinking that he had eaten all kinds of dishes with lemons as the main ingredient and condiments before, He Xiaoqiao couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and smirked for a while about the bright future after owning lemons, and then sat down and began to read Jiang Fenghao's 'family letter'.

The content of the letter was not as much as the last time, only a piece of letter paper and a few short lines, He Xiaoqiao glanced at it, it was nothing more than telling her to take good care of herself in the cold weather, wait for him to go back, and buy whatever he wants. Then he also mentioned that there was a Liao steward watching the gambling house, so that if she was tired of playing, she would boldly and confidently do what she liked.

At the end of the letter that made her stranger, there was a strange request, that is, let her sit in the Changning Palace, let all the secret guards and subordinates come to pay her New Year's greetings, and everyone had to give a red envelope, and the money would be taken from the account office in the mansion. How much to give is for He Xiaoqiao to watch by himself.

He Xiaoqiao remembered the big scene he had seen when he first arrived at the palace, and couldn't help but shudder, all the subordinates plus the courtyard guards and secret guards, there were hundreds of people!

If she really wants to send red envelopes one by one, then she still has to give them to her hand cramps?

"Uncle Liu, has there been a precedent in our house for personally giving out red envelopes to everyone before?"

"Personally give out red envelopes to everyone?" Liu slashed his sword, thinking to himself what kind of rule is this? However, since He Xiaoqiao asked so, it must have been mentioned in Jiang Fenghao's letter, and since he didn't know what he was going to do, he had to respond vaguely, "There should be." ”

"......" He Xiaoqiao took a deep breath and mourned for three seconds for his injured hands, which could never escape the injury.

Although he didn't know how stupid his behavior was, He Xiaoqiao finally became a real housewife under the identity of Jiang Fenghao's fiancée.

Liu Yidao was very sympathetic and made people hurry up to wrap hundreds of red envelopes of two taels of silver, and He Xiaoqiao's job was to sit on the main seat in the hall and wait for the hundreds of people in the house to line up to pay New Year's greetings to him, and then mechanically send out the red envelopes one by one.

At the end of the day, not only were my hands shaking so much that I couldn't hold anything at all, but my face was even smiling.

The only time to be happy is that since the red envelopes were sent out, the eyes of those subordinates who looked at her seemed to have respected and loved her a lot, He Xiaoqiao could only comfort herself, sure enough, money can make ghosts grind, and if you pay, you will gain.

But one day later, when He Xiaoqiao learned that this request was a cheap act that Jiang Fenghao wanted to come out to tease her when he was bored - he was kicked out of bed, and for several days he could only shrink in the study aggrievedly, 'I can't return to the house', and 'I don't have a lady to hug'.

Of course, that's all for later, so let's not mention it for now.

After distributing the red envelopes, on the night of the first day of the new year, the palace sent someone to send New Year's gifts and various rewards, He Xiaoqiao, the invisible princess, was not easy to come forward, so everything was still arranged by Liu Yidao with full authority, and even the return gift was given back according to the explanation mentioned in Jiang Fenghao's letter.

He Xiaoqiao didn't know what exactly was given, the only thing she knew was ...... There's a whole bunch of valuable stuff in the storeroom again!

Princess Jinghe was detained in the palace by the Queen Mother, and there were several old and mature grandmothers watching, and there was no way to sneak out, but she was still very righteous enough to secretly send her a lot of interesting gadgets.

He Xiaoqiao raised his eyebrows when he received the gift, and turned around in the warehouse for half a circle, really didn't know what to send back, and finally had a flash of inspiration, and personally cooked a basket of doughnuts and asked someone to send them to the palace.

The freshly baked doughnuts were pressed into rings, and the fried golden bread was covered with a layer of white icing, and He Xiaoqiao also sprinkled some sugar osmanthus and raisins on it in order to look good.

So after trying the taste of the doughnut, the reincarnated white head of the ant once again had a liking - this was with Jinghe, she ate it on the day she received He Xiaoqiao's return gift, and it is said that the queen mother and queen who had a taste also liked it very much.

Seeing that they all liked it, He Xiaoqiao's hanging heart let go.

After the first day of the new year, the second day of the new year is the time for the little daughters-in-law to return to their parents' homes.

He Xiaoqiao is not married yet, and he has been alone since he passed through, so naturally he doesn't have to go back to his mother's house, and he can't go back to his mother's house.

Even if she really wanted to go back to Rainbow Village to see her lakeside bamboo house and take a vacation to miss the leisurely life of the green mountains and green waters before, but without Jiang Fenghao leading the way, it was obvious that this matter was not too reliable to implement.

Therefore, in addition to eating and sleeping on the second day of the Lunar New Year, He Xiaoqiao's life is to bite the doughnut and play mahjong to win and lose money, and drink milk tea and watch others play mahjong and win and lose money.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the gambling house reopened, He Xiaoqiao went over there and gave red envelopes to the guys in the store, watching them diligently introduce the use of playing cards to each fat sheep who looked like they were rich, and nodded with satisfaction.

Even if the response to the playing cards was not very good at first, He Xiaoqiao was not in a hurry, after all, it always takes time for others to accept a new thing.

What's more, before there were no playing cards, the gambling house was also profitable, and the size of the gambling and Tianbao pai gow were very profitable, as long as there were these popular gambling equipment, there would rarely be a loss, plus there was a smiling and welcoming Liao steward - as Jiang Fenghao said in the letter, she didn't have to worry about half a snack at all, as long as she leisurely waited for the end of the month to count the money and count the cramps.

Taking advantage of the fact that it has just been the Chinese New Year, everyone has some small money in their pockets, He Xiaoqiao explained to Steward Liao, and set aside three VIP areas to entertain those who have too much money to spend and want to pursue excitement.

The first-level VIP room is naturally the Huxin Pavilion in the inner courtyard that was renovated before, and it is the only one, quiet and warm, with good scenery and no one will disturb it, and it completely retains privacy. It is only available to customers who have paid 30,000 taels in advance and wagered more than 10,000 taels, and the identification is a one-centimeter-thick brass card engraved with the word 'A'.

The second-level VIP area is in the first two courtyards behind the gambling house, there are a total of five private rooms, only for the guests who prepay 1,500 taels and accumulate bets of more than 3,000 taels, and the VIP card is also made of brass, but it is smaller than the first-level VIP, and the back is engraved with 'B'.

The last three-level VIP area is on the second floor of the gambling house, with a total of six private rooms, which are only for guests who have paid 1,000 taels in advance and bet more than 800 taels.

Each lounge can have a dedicated dealer, and all drinks, snacks and fruits are free, and the VIP card can also be upgraded.

Of course, some crazy gamblers may also gamble on things other than money, such as a certain body part such as hands, feet, fingers, or property deeds, etc., and even some of the bigger ones will gamble on their own heads.

In order to avoid the gambling house being involved in murder cases, He Xiaoqiao also made provisions.

The gambling house can provide venues and gambling equipment to both parties, you can gamble anything, the gambling house will not interfere, but before the gambling is opened, both parties must sign and seal the exemption contract, to ensure that in the casino only about winning or losing, to fight and kill or set fire to other people's houses can only be carried out outside the gambling house, and must not have any involvement with the gambling house.

Steward Liao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't stop nodding his head, first signing the exemption contract, and he could indeed avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles in the future.

After solving the above two problems, He Xiaoqiao put forward another problem that must be solved, that is, how to calculate the amount of bets placed by each person.

Since the VIP level is based on the bet limit, a registration must be done to confirm whether these guests are eligible to enjoy the superior service in the lounge.

In addition, some small notes should be made so that every customer who has spent money in the casino can get a note representing the corresponding amount at the front desk and exchange it at the bar for different kinds of drinks and snacks.

Of course, the slip of paper must be stamped with the seal of the gambling house to prevent counterfeiting, and the note after redeeming the drink and snacks must be taken back and destroyed to avoid being recycled by the well-intentioned.

Speaking of drinks and snacks, Steward Liao also raised his own question, "Do we have to buy these foods from outside, or should we go outside and ask a reliable cook to come back and make them ourselves?" ”

He Xiaoqiao thought for a moment, "You should pay special attention to your diet to avoid any problems." If you can, it's best to find two reliable cooks, and let them supervise each other by the way, so that no one can take advantage of the loophole and cause some trouble. ”

Steward Liao nodded yes, and was once again impressed by He Xiaoqiao's delicate thoughts.

"There is another thing," He Xiaoqiao thought about it, and still told Steward Liao about his desire to recruit some female guys, "...... Since there is a VIP room, it is natural to have the treatment that VIPs should have, in addition to free drinks and snacks, if there is a beautiful female guy serving tea and water, the guests should also feel that the money is more worth it, what do you think, Steward Liao? ”

She didn't believe that any man could resist this trick.

She doesn't plan to compete for business with Qinglou, but looking at modern casinos, there are a few pleasing and beautiful girls around her when she plays cards, which can definitely stimulate men's desire to be handsome, and it is definitely more generous to spend money.

Steward Liao lowered his head and groaned for a moment before frowning and said, "This idea is feasible, but where are we going to find the female guys who volunteer to work here?" ”

If you want to wander around the men's pile every day, which serious girl is willing to do it?

"That's the problem," He Xiaoqiao stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, with a calculation in his eyes, "Those yellow flower girls will definitely not succeed, I have no intention of discrediting others." So I wondered if I could go to the Qinglou to redeem a few girls back, sign the contract, and let them eat and live in the gambling house. After a pause, He Xiaoqiao continued, "The redeemed silver will be offset by the monthly money due to their monthly work, and when they finish paying off the silver, let them consider whether to stay or choose to leave." ”

The girls living in the Qinglou rarely have a reputation problem, and they have experience in getting along with men no matter what, so they shouldn't be too resistant to sharing a room with men.

Besides, just do the simplest work of serving tea and water with a smile on your face, and you don't need to sell your body, so it shouldn't be too difficult to think about it, right?

"That's a good idea!" Steward Liao nodded, and added, "It's just that if you want to stay, you must sign a death deed." ”

"I think so too, it's really safer to sign a death deed." He Xiaoqiao echoed, shook off the fan and fanned it lightly.

Although the idea of the gambling house recruiting female partners is a bit shocking, but the sophisticated steward Liao still quickly accepted it calmly, and even He Xiaoqiao's request to be interviewed before he can take up the post calmly listened to it, and said that he would send someone to Zhilan Street to ask if he was free to see if any girl in the Qinglou was interested in jumping ship to work in the gambling house.

"Then please ask Steward Liao to pay more attention to this matter."

Sure enough, it was convenient for someone under his hand to help him do things, and He Xiaoqiao almost wanted to pat Steward Liao's shoulder and praise him well.
