Chapter 61: Dried Apricots
Seeing that Shen Qiaoshen drank not a drop of the medicine, Lily of the Valley immediately stuffed a small plate of dried apricots in her hand into her arms, then took the medicine bowl casually and put it back on the table.
Shen Qiaoshen picked up a dried apricot and put it in his mouth, and the sweet and sour taste instantly swept through the entire taste buds, gradually suppressing the bitter taste of Fang Cai.
After the taste of cinnamon soup in his mouth completely dissipated, Shen Qiaoshen took a sip of hot tea, and then ate a dried apricot.
However, I found that after the sweet and sour taste of the dried apricots had just passed, there was still a faint medicinal fragrance.
Unlike the bitter taste of the cinnamon soup just now, it is an indescribable taste.
Even if Shen Qiaoshen's previous and current lives were combined, he could be regarded as a doctor after a long illness, and he could more or less distinguish some superficial basic medicinal materials.
But the aroma of medicinal herbs in this dried apricot, no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't fully identify it.
"Lily of the valley, where did you buy this dried apricot, the taste is so unique." Shen Qiaoshen asked.
Lily of the valley looked at the preserved apricots in Shen Qiaoshen's hand, and smiled embarrassedly: "Let the fourth girl laugh, I made this dried apricots myself." ”
Shen Qiaoshen's eyes widened in surprise, but he heard Lily of the Valley continue: "I'll tell you the truth, when I was young, I saw that there were some medical books at home, and I flipped through them at random in my spare time. After a long time, I also came up with some recipes by myself, and usually made some snacks and snacks. ”
Shen Qiaoshen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there any selling in the store?" ”
Lily of the valley looked dazed, shook her head and said: "No, it's just casual play, Daddy has never liked sweets, so on weekdays, only me and Baizhu eat." ”
Shen Qiao Shen hooked the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and he had a plan in his heart.
In the previous life, drunk Jiangyue was in the hands of Xiao Li, and it was still the best restaurant in the capital, and it was the favorite place for those high-ranking officials and magnates in Beijing.
As we all know, Qinglou and wine shops are the places where news circulates the most, and if you grasp these two places, you can understand the dynamics of the magnates in the capital.
Whether Xiao Li has a Qinlou Chu Pavilion under his subordinates, this Shen Qiaoshen is not clear.
But she knew that in her previous life, most of the reason why Xiao Li was able to silently make most of the court support him was that he secretly had evidence that could make those court officials obey him when others didn't know about it.
Shen Qiaoshen also overheard that in Zuijiangyue, Xiao Li even arranged a special person to record the news and intelligence of the magnates of various provinces.
I have to say that this gave Shen Qiaoshen a lot of inspiration.
What Xiao Li can do, Shen Qiaoshen can naturally do.
Zui Jiangyue must become the best restaurant in Beijing.
She had to let those dignitaries come here willingly, so that she could get the news she wanted from them.
……
In his previous life, Shen Qiaoshen only knew how to chase after Xiao Li, and he didn't understand anything else, such as family and political affairs.
So in the end, she found that she could only be reduced to a pawn and ended up in death.
God opened her eyes, she had a chance to live again, and she was determined to correct this mistake.
Only by taking the situation in her own hands at all times can she protect the Shen family and the people she wants to protect.
This time, let her be the chess player.
……
On the other hand, drunk Jiangyue in his previous life also brought Xiao Li great wealth.
It is precisely with these continuous profits that Xiao Li was able to recruit troops and win over courtiers.
Now that the three princes have suddenly lost power, Xiao Li no longer has a shield to put on the bright side.
If he doesn't want to expose his ambitions too soon, then he will have to find another way.
If he loses the cash cow of Zui Jiangyue again, presumably Xiao Li will definitely not be reconciled.
But so what, Drunk Jiangyue is now her Shen Qiaoshen.
With her in this life, Xiao Li didn't even want to stretch out his hand to Zuijiangyue again.
…………
What's more, Shen Qiaoshen wants to continue to be a big drunken Jiang Yue, and he also has a mind.
In addition to being able to obtain detailed sources of information, Zui Jiangyue is currently the only place in her hands that can bring financial benefits.
Although the Shen family has generations of meritorious achievements, the Shen Mansion has never been a place that likes extravagance and extravagance.
Especially Shen Yanyan, because he has been leading troops all the year round, he has no gray income that is often found among officials in Beijing.
The Shen family is also the home of Zhong Ming Dingshi, and Mrs. Shen and the Lin family are also from everyone.
A room full of biological blood and blood, something like doing something like doing something on the accounts of the mansion is absolutely impossible to happen in the Shen family's big house.
Therefore, every account income and expenditure of the Shen family is clearly written and unambiguous.
For a large family, this is extremely rare.
But in Shen Qiaoshen's view, this is both a good thing and a bad thing.
The advantage is that it is as big as every reward from the imperial court, and the booty brought back by Shen Yanyan every year, to the personal exchanges between various prefectures, and the income and loss of his own shop and field.
These are all clearly documented.
It not only shows the integrity of the Shen family externally, but also makes it easier to manage the accounts and the errands of the managers at all levels internally.
But because of this, it is also easier for people with different intentions to take advantage of the loopholes.
After all, the clearer the accounts are remembered, the more conducive it is for some people to understand the wealth of the Shen Mansion.
Shen Mansion looks like it is full of flowers at the moment, and it is stable.
But no one can say what will happen in the future.
If something happens suddenly, it will only be a matter of time before the building collapses.
At that time, the wealth accumulated by the Shen family for generations will be easily obtained by others because of the rules and regulations of this record.
Shen Qiaoshen has long understood this.
Therefore, she must leave a way back for the Shen family.
In case he needs it.
For Shen Qiaoshen, only one drunken Jiangyue is, of course, far from enough.
Eggs can't just be put in the same basket, which is what she learned from Xiao Li.
But according to the current situation, she can only make Zui Jiangyue an unshakable existence in Beijing first, and then she can think about anything else.
After all, with enough money to be around, it can also become a kind of capital.
……
At present, although Zui Jiangyue's business is booming, most of it is because of the change in the business model that she and Ji Qingyuan came up with, which made people have the idea of hunting for curiosity.
But this is not a long-term solution after all, such a change, they do, others can naturally follow suit.
After a long time, there is no novelty.
After all, Zui Jiangyue is still a restaurant, and the taste is the first.
The most important thing now is to work food and drink.
But if you eat too many traditional meals, they will all be the same.
If you want to make some achievements, you have to find another way.
If you want to do it, you have to make the best and most unique one.
……
Originally, these days, Shen Qiaoshen was also thinking about how to make a fuss about the dishes.
But she had no intention of tasting the dried apricots made by lily of the valley, which made her suddenly enlightened and had some new ideas.
Shen Qiao pondered that he must find an opportunity to discuss it with Mr. Ji today.
After all, the three princes suddenly fell yesterday, and Xiao Li and the others were caught off guard.
If you can't make a statute as soon as possible, when Xiao Li relaxes, according to Shen Qiaoshen's understanding of him, I'm afraid that Zui Jiangyue will become Xiao Li's first target.
