Chapter 141: The opening of the restaurant branch is auspicious
Ming Lanying looked at the backs of Hebai and Shan Zhao gradually moving away, and had a complicated feeling of worrying about her mother.
Mama Cai persuaded softly, "Princess, it's windy, go in." ”
Zhao Lao's crutches nodded to the ground, "Okay, what is there to see when everyone is far away, now you are the only one in the palace to support you, and taking care of yourself is the most important thing." ”
Ming Lanying sighed, "After all, they are going to the battlefield, and they are not going to play......
Zhao Lao looked back at the huge palace, and now only Ming Lanying and Ning Er, the two masters, were left.
"It's important to keep your home."
Seeing that she was still worried about Hebai and the others, Zhao Lao quipped: "I don't know if this war will last until the Chinese New Year, aren't you afraid that Ye Jielu will bring someone back from the battlefield when the time comes?" ”
Ming Lanying was stunned, "Who did you bring back?" Comrades-in-arms? ”
Zhao Lao blew his beard and glared and knocked on the floor with his cane, "Woman! After such a long war, various means have emerged on the battlefield, and offering women is the most popular, so you are not afraid that he will bring back a woman? Prettier than you, gentler than you, and know how to serve men better than you. ”
Ming Lanying sneered, "So what? Of course, let the cubs pick their skins first, and then take Ning'er away, take away half of the palace's property, and make room for their fairy couples! ”
Let's not say that this is a hypothesis, even if it is a real Ming Lan Ying, it will do this.
finally fell in love and turned out to be blind, and she had to vent her anger.
Ming Lanying's words were murderous, and Zhao Lao's hand on crutches shook, not doubting at all that she would really do this.
Ming Lanying smiled and patted Zhao Lao, "Okay, Zhao Lao!" I know it's useless to worry about them, it's important to live the days in front of you, don't worry, the most important thing at the moment is to take care of the winter and summer fetus, I'm still waiting for my goddaughter and godson to wrap red envelopes! ”
Ming Lanying Zhao Lao shook his head helplessly, almost forgetting that this girl was different from the previous one and had her own unique opinions.
But when it comes to winter and summer, Zhao Lao is worried.
The winter and summer fetus was not easy to stabilize, and Ming Lanying did not let her go out at will, but the weather has cooled down suddenly recently, and she caught a cold without paying attention.
Aunt Meng has stayed at the Meng family to take care of Dongxia for the past few days, and the two maids who stayed by Dongxia's side to serve during the day pleaded guiltily, and Ming Lanying took Ning'er to see her once.
Dongxia also smiled and quipped, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm just pregnant, and I don't need so many people to serve me, and those who don't know think I'm pregnant with a lucky treasure!" Take them back. ”
Ning Er said with a straight face: "What is in Sister Dongxia's belly is Fubao!" ”
Ming Lanying nodded solemnly in agreement, and said to Dong Xia with a smile in her eyebrows.
"It's not easy for you to be pregnant, who will help you with the things at home when they leave? Do you want to trouble Aunt Meng all the time? ”
Dong Xia shook her head, Ming Lanying knew that with her temperament, she didn't want to cause trouble to anyone.
Ming Lanying touched her little face that was a little sweaty, and her little face turned pale after a bowl of soup and medicine.
Even if the wind chill is not so severe, she is already fragile when she is pregnant, and her face is still not good-looking.
"You can raise the baby with peace of mind, don't think about the rest, two more people will serve, and Aunt Meng and you will be more relaxed."
Dongxia nodded, her body was weak and she took medicine, she couldn't hold back her sleepiness without saying a word, Ming Lanying carefully helped her lie down, and waited for her to breathe steadily before taking Ning'er back.
Aunt Meng happened to come over with a bowl of chicken soup and rice porridge, and when she saw her close the door lightly, she asked in a soft voice, "Sleeping?" ”
Ming Lanying nodded and pointed outside, "Let's go back first, Aunt Meng has taken care of it." ”
Aunt Meng smiled and waved her hand, handed the porridge in her hand to the maid to warm it, and sent Ming Lanying and her mother out.
Ming Lanying asked, "Is Aunt Meng still used to these two days?" Is the maid still handy? ”
Meng Huaisu is the only remaining bloodline of Aunt Meng's sister's family, and Aunt Meng only hopes that he and Dongxia can live in peace.
Dongxia is not in good health but still stubbornly wants to keep this child, Aunt Meng is distressed and moved, she doesn't even care about her own son, and takes care of Dongxia herself.
Ming Langtao could only shake his head helplessly, and occasionally went back to Meng's house with Meng Huaisu for a meal.
"What's not used to it, it's much better than my previous life, I like it very much."
Aunt Meng has spent most of her life planning in the desperate Ming family in the capital, and she has lived an unhurried and leisurely life here, accompanied by her son and nephew, and now she has a little grandson, and she is very happy.
"It's just that winter and summer are too hard, and she will be a little sleepy when she is pregnant, but she is not very stable when she sleeps, and she will wake up at the slightest movement, Zhao Lao also adjusted the prescription of the tranquilizer, but the effect is very small."
Ming Lanying frowned slightly, "I'll ask someone to find some good medicine to make up for her." ”
Ming Lanying doesn't know how to make up for pregnant women, anyway, it is useful to find good medicine and good ingredients, Aunt Meng smiled.
"How can there be medicine every day to replenish the body, medicine is only an auxiliary role, the focus is to take care of the body in winter and summer."
"Yes, yes, I'll go back and let someone slaughter a few good chickens and ducks, and stew a medicinal meal with the collected natural treasures and send them over."
Aunt Meng patted her hand, "The princess has a heart, what is there that Tao'er, a useless prefect, can do, just let him help." ”
Ming Lanying grinned, "Aunt Meng, don't worry, the prefect's usefulness is great!" ”
Ming Lanying is right, the prefect here is indeed of great use.
Some of the procedures and certificates for the opening of a large restaurant branch, even if you have connections, you have to spend a lot of money to get the qualification to open the store as soon as possible.
But Ming Lanying is not only the princess of Yanbei, but also backed by the power of the king of Yanbei, and Ming Langtao is also their person in the official mansion.
It only takes one sentence to let the prefect handle it himself.
Ming Lanying looked at the material certificate in her hand that had been completed in just two days, and sighed softly.
muttered, "This power is indeed a good thing......
Mama Cai coughed lightly, "Princess, please pay attention to your words, you are not suitable to say this kind of thing." ”
Ming Lanying smiled, put away the proof and waved her big hand, "Go!" Check out if our cash cow is ready. ”
The restaurant branch is about to open, and the shopkeeper Li has been running diligently recently, from the utensils to the manpower arrangement, carefully and carefully, and with extreme care.
When Ming Lanying went over with the supporting materials, the shopkeeper Li happened to be there, and when he saw the materials that had been completed in just two days, he excitedly made a big salute to Ming Lanying.
"If it weren't for the support of the princess, this matter would have taken a small amount of effort, thanks to the princess!"
Ming Lanying smiled and waved her hand, "Shopkeeper Li is serious, has the auspicious day been set?" ”
"It's set, it's at the end of the month, it's just in time."
"That's good." Ming Lanying glanced at the twenty guards outside the restaurant, "These guards stay in this town, and when the time comes, they will be busy for fear that someone will take advantage of the loopholes and smash the field, so it is more reassuring to have them." ”
Shopkeeper Li nodded again and again, "The princess is thoughtful, and when the time comes, she will have to order people from the original store." ”
The news of the opening of the branch has been spread in the form of a small flyer, which also has a discount coupon printed with a watermark in a special ink to attract customers.
The writing is also easy to understand in large characters, and anyone who knows a little braille can understand it.
I have to say that Shopkeeper Li is a businessman, Ming Lanying just proposed to distribute promotional leaflets, Shopkeeper Li immediately thought of a limited promotion of promotional coupons, and with the double blessing, the reputation of the restaurant branch has reached a higher level.
Although it shows that Lanying only accounts for 20% of the total profits of the restaurant industry, it is also a large amount.
Thinking of the grand occasion when the branch opened, Shopkeeper Li and Ming Lanying both showed a deep smile, and the two of them squinted and smiled, inexplicably revealing a hideous profiteer's atmosphere.
Mama Cai watched from the sidelines, only feeling that these two people did not look like serious businessmen, and sighed helplessly.
After the decoration of the restaurant is completed, waiting for the opening, the plaque is hung on the door, and the couplets on both sides are covered with a huge red satin satin, and they are also covered with red cloth, waiting for the opening day to be removed by the shopkeeper Li himself, which means that the official opening is auspicious.
The craftsman of Ming Lanying custom-made a huge colored happy door, which she also learned from the steward Wang in the front yard, a pattern that is also used to attract customers.
A frame made of bamboo poles and wire, with an entrance in the middle for guests to enter and exit, and colorful rags and flowers wrapped around the frame look very festive.
Ming Lanying thought about it, the Huanmen was all there, and the flower baskets were also put together, and she drew a sketch and asked the gardeners in the house to make a large flower basket half a person high.
Ming Lanying was afraid that she would draw too sloppily and the gardener couldn't understand it, so she made a special comparison to explain it for a long time, and the gardener's immediately understood and confident packing ticket definitely satisfied her.
Seven days later, when the finished product was made, everyone in the palace was amazed, and it was also unexpected by Ming Lanying.
Nearly a man tall, the bottom is a bamboo base, the gaps are decorated with vines and leaves, and the flowers on top are trimmed into a circular arc, like competing flower balls.
The gardener made six in a row, and six large flower baskets were placed there, and the visual effect was full.
Ming Lanying applauded happily, "Well done!" Reward! Reward two months of monthly silver! ”
"But where did the palace get so many flowers?"
The florist scratched his hair crampedly, "The flower farmer who sends flowers and plants on weekdays just had a batch of goods rejected by someone, and the princess was just about to make a flower basket and use a large number of flowers, and there were not many copper plates to collect on her own initiative." ”
After the gardener finished speaking, Wang Changying's brows were furrowed, obviously dissatisfied with him doing things on his own initiative, and the gardener hurriedly knelt down in a panic and saluted.
"The little one knows his mistakes, he doesn't dare anymore, please punish the princess."
Ming Lanying waved her hand indifferently, "Anyway, there are not a few copper plates, forget it this time, next time you must discuss it with the Wang steward in the front yard first." Although it is a trivial matter, it must also be in accordance with the rules, and there is no reason for you to make this money, so it is appropriate to come out of the palace, and I will go to the king's steward to make a reimbursement later. ”
The gardener breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed twice. "Yes, yes, the little one understands, thank you princess!"
"Get up, get up, there is a reward for doing a good job, Changying."
Wang Changying lowered his eyebrows, "The small one is here." ”
"I am very satisfied with his flower basket, and I remember to reward him with two months' wages."
"Yes."
The subordinates in the front yard are all under Wang Changying's control, and Ming Lanying's praise and reprimand are all pointed, but he won't.
Good people are made by the masters, and as the right and left hands of the masters, they naturally have to strictly discipline them in places that the masters can't take into account, so as to prevent the people below from thinking that they shouldn't have because the masters are too good at talking.
Even if the flower basket is made, the next day is the end of the month when the restaurant is lively, early in the morning, Ming Lanying took Ning'er and Cai Mama, and a few maids to watch the excitement in the teahouse room opposite the restaurant.
In front of the restaurant, there are Ming Lanying's customized huanmen and flower baskets, and the novel style has also attracted many people.
There is a vacant piece of land in front of the door, and the atmosphere group invited by Ming Lanying to beat the gong and drum joy is playing hard, and it is not yet time to open the door, and the atmosphere group warms up first.
With the blessing of the previous leaflets and coupons, and the eye-catching joy and beautiful big flower baskets, as well as the lively atmosphere group, hundreds of people have gathered in front of the restaurant branch.
There is a lively scene of thousands of empty alleys.
A few shopkeepers in the branch held up the wooden signs in line and organized the scene with their voices, there were many people but they would not be chaotic.
Shopkeeper Li arranged the original store, and specially ran over from the original store to help the town, and now looking at so many people outside the door, he is rarely a little nervous.
Seeing the smiling Ming Lanying on the second floor of the teahouse opposite through the gap, I immediately had courage in my heart.
He has his back to Princess Yanbei, what is he afraid of! It's all white silver!
When the auspicious time came, the atmosphere group was finally able to rest for a long time.
Shopkeeper Li, dressed in a jujube red cardigan, came out with a smile and said two auspicious words, and then stretched out his arm and lifted it hard.
The big red satin on the plaque and the red cloth on the couplets on both sides of the door were removed together, and the door behind the shopkeeper Li also opened.
The shopkeeper and the bookkeeper are ready to go, and the chef and assistant chef in the back kitchen have already raised the hot pot, prepared a sufficient amount of semi-finished dishes, and pricked up their ears to listen to the movement outside.
Shopkeeper Li smiled and raised his hand, "Everyone, please!" ”
Under the greeting of the shopkeeper in advance, hundreds of people sat down in an orderly manner to ask for food and order, and after a while, the big restaurant sounded the voice of the shopkeeper singing the name of the dish.
The kitchen assistant chef wrote down various dishes for the first time, and the chefs in a row made movements one after another, and the aroma was overflowing after a while.
There was already a long queue in front of the branch, and the manpower was even tighter than expected, as soon as Ming Lanying raised her hand, Mama Cai immediately ordered a few people brought behind her to help.
Ming Lanying looked at the lively and busy branch with a smile, budgeting for today's income in her heart, and the smile on the corner of her mouth never went down.
Ning Er watched it for a while, and only realized the truth that his mother was so powerful.
In his thinking, there is no distinction between high and low, high and low, only the difference between good and bad achievements.
There are scholars who serve the country and the people, and there are also corrupt officials.
Business, there are good businessmen who seek benefits for the country, and there are profiteers who do not make profits.
In Ning'er's eyes, his mother-in-law is a good businessman, because his mother-in-law makes money to buy food and medicinal materials, and send them to the front-line soldiers to defend the country, so that they can eat well, and even if they are injured, they will have enough medicinal materials to treat them.
Ning Er shook her feet slightly, but when she thought that she was a calm little adult, she slowly stopped moving.
If Ming Lanying knew that in the eyes of her son, she was so great, she would probably be able to blush on the spot.
She simply likes to make more money, and sending things to the front line is just profitable.
She's not a bad person.
Well!
