36. Trial operation, very hot
Shu Niang was extremely surprised: "Miss Qiao bought a street?" ”
Jorya makes no secret of her ambitions.
"Yes, this street will be the most prosperous commercial street in Qiongzhou Mansion in the future!"
Shu Niang had long known that Miss Qiao was different from ordinary women, but she didn't expect that Miss Qiao's dedication was not inferior to that of men, and she couldn't help but be happy.
"Then I will congratulate Miss Qiao in advance on everything she wants."
Joerya's eyes rolled: "Actually, I still want to dabble in women's makeup." I don't know much about the makeup and face that are popular on the market today, and I will have to ask Shu Niang for advice then. ”
Shu Niang smiled and said: "You are here, I am not good at business, and there is nothing I don't understand about fashionable makeup and rouge powder." ”
Qiao Erya praised her wit, Shu Niang is really a mobile encyclopedia. According to her previous professional inertia, even if she quits the circle, she will pay attention to the current popular makeup and cosmetics, isn't this the female star who became a beauty blogger after retiring from the circle!
She kept an eye on the decoration of the store, the floor of the store was made of concrete, and if it weren't for the aesthetics, she would have wanted to replace all the doors and windows.
However, the decoration of the store itself is good, it has only been open for a few years, and the whole house has a new look after replacing the furniture, as long as the glass cabinet is fine.
Shu Niang also saw the glass cabinet: "Is this crystal?" ”
In ancient times, transparent things were called crystals.
Joel Yale explained: "This thing is called glass, which is more transparent than glass. ”
Shu Niang has seen many celebrities and nobles, and knows that glass is a luxury, even a tribute. Many families have workshops for firing glass, but none of them can be fired successfully.
Legend has it that Baozhu Pavilion started by relying on colored glass, and offered His Majesty a piece of exquisite colored glass, and was named the imperial merchant. However, since then, the Jewel Pavilion has never fired a second piece of glaze, but has instead launched a glazed orb.
In the years when she was a smash hit, many people gave her glass beads, and she saved a small box.
Shu Niang thought more: "Then isn't this more precious than glass?" ”
If Miss Qiao knew how to make glass, King An would be recalled to the capital at any time.
King An's demotion is so light, as long as he makes some achievements and beats the other princes in the capital, His Majesty will retract the holy decree sooner or later. Even if His Majesty does not want to, the ministers of the DPRK and China will strongly recommend it.
Qiao Erya thought of the glass orb, she deliberately said: "Glass is not valuable in our hometown, and it can be seen everywhere in every house. In a few days, the windows of the palace will be replaced with glass windows, and Shu Niang's reading in the house will be as bright as day. ”
Shu Niang found a blind spot: "So, isn't the glass worthless?" ”
Qiao Erya hinted to Shu Niang: "Yes, I didn't expect Liuli to sell at a high price in you." In particular, the glass beads of the Baozhu Pavilion are children's toys in our hometown. ”
Shu Niang quickly understood that Miss Qiao was reminding herself: "Thank you, Miss Qiao, I have stocked up on a box of glass beads, and I will tell you the truth, I am still going to keep them as a dowry." ”
She has no father or mother, and the dowry can only be prepared by herself. I thought that a box of glass orbs could have some face in the dowry, but fortunately I got to know Miss Qiao.
Qiao Erya thought of what happened to Shu Niang, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Since we are friends in the boudoir, I will help you add makeup to your dowry, and I will ensure that you will marry beautifully." ”
She has not had a deep friendship since she was a child, but she has two friends in high school, and her relationship has faded since she went to college. After going to college, she thought that she could get along harmoniously with her roommates, but who knew that the dormitory environment was comparable to a palace fighting drama, and the intrigue was no less than that of Zhen Huan.
Joerya is a northerner, and she doesn't like this kind of speech and has to take a detour to understand what they mean, so the roommate relationship is also a nodding friend.
Shu Niang is very much in line with her appetite in terms of personality and three views, and the most important thing is to be sincere. The pure ancients were much easier to understand than her college roommates.
Shu Niang smiled and joked with her: "Then I look forward to your prosperous business and give me a big gift." ”
Qiao Erya patted her chest and promised: "Don't worry, you will definitely make all the women in the world envy you." ”
Shu Niang was moved when she heard this. Zhong Lang always mentioned that Miss Qiao was the future princess and asked her to be good friends with Miss Qiao, but she was unwilling to involve sisterhood in terms of men and interests.
In her eyes, Miss Qiao is innocent, simple and cute, and she is very comfortable with her. If he has a sister, he must be a character like Miss Qiao. Even if Miss Qiao is not the future master of the harem, she is willing to be a close friend of her.
Qiao Erya took Shu Niang to dine in the store: "Can you eat spicy?" ”
Shu Niang nodded reservedly: "Acceptable." ”
The Ning Dynasty is open to the people, women don't have to cover their faces when they go out, as long as they are not afraid of being criticized, they can go shopping side by side with men, and they can even openly show their love. In terms of dressing, full-breasted skirts are popular in Beijing, revealing slender necks and collarbones, and women wear them elegantly. Women in backward areas like this almost all wear waist-length skirts, and other than that, they are no different from the capital.
The two of them were dine-in in the store, and Shu Niang was still looking forward to the food in Miss Qiao's store.
She has eaten a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, except for the imperial food in the palace, there is no folk food that she has not eaten.
There was a fragrance from the back kitchen, and Qiao Erya could smell the aroma of grilled fish, and the chef of the palace helped her train a good cook.
The grilled fish was quickly served, and the barbecue ordered by Jorya was served in turn.
Grilled vegetables, oysters, prawns, grilled fish, and more were all on the table.
Shu Niang had no way to get off the chopsticks: "I don't know which one to eat first." ”
Jorja recommends: "The grilled eggplant tastes good, and the eggplant is very tender at this time. ”
It is also in the tropical region of Qiongzhou that vegetables can be eaten all year round.
The vegetables in her shop are all collected from the surrounding villages, and she has signed an agreement with the village to supply her with fresh vegetables every day.
Shu Niang has eaten all kinds of eggplant methods, but it is the first time to eat roasted eggplant, which is completely different from the previous way of eating, and she can't even eat this roasted eggplant.
"The grilled fish is our signature shopkeeper, and the fish is freshly slaughtered. Farmers who live near the sea don't like to eat fish because they smell fishy, but we have a special way to handle it. ”
"As for oysters, there is a saying that oysters are a woman's beauty salon and a man's gas station, Shu Niang can bring back a few for Zhong Gongzi to taste."
Shu Niang was puzzled: "The beauty salon is a place where women become beautiful, what is a gas station?" ”
Joerya smiled evilly: "The gas station is to make people lively and powerful." ”
Shu Niang didn't seem to understand, and then she didn't know what to think of, and her face flushed: "Then I'll pack ten for Zhong Lang." ”
Fine beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of the two of them eating, and the beauty was particularly attractive even if she sweated.
But at this time, it is not for the beauty to be attracted to the store, but to be greedy for the fragrance.
The reason why Qiao Erya bought this shop is because it is close to the wharf, and those men who stay on the ship all the year round have eaten a lot of delicacies, and they are tired of eating several shops in Qiongzhou Mansion.
The weather is fine today, which is suitable for going to sea. The ship had just docked in the morning, and the men on the boat wanted to eat a cake to pass the lunch, but there was an unusually tempting fragrance from the dock, which was slightly spicy, and the people with good noses sneezed several times.
Everyone looked at each other: "This is the fragrance from the dock?" ”
"No, there are only a few restaurants in Qiongzhou Mansion, and I'm about to vomit."
"Look at it, go to the dock and have a look, smell it and don't charge money."
The words are not rough, a few rough old men got off the boat, and found that not only the people on their boat smelled the attractive fragrance, but also the people from several boats next door came down.
Everyone coincidentally slowed down, in case it was the dock which one cooked, so it was easy to say that they had to order soup to soak rice, and spend money to buy it.
Qiao Erya and Shu Niang were full of food, and when they walked to the door, they found a group of men walking back and forth menacingly.
She hurriedly beckoned Shu Niang to get into the carriage.
Shu Niang pulled her arm: "Miss Qiao, come up too." ”
Joerya pushed her into the carriage: "I have to ask what is the matter, this is my shop, they are obviously coming for me." ”
She thought of all kinds of malicious competition for a moment, being smashed in the store, etc., and she didn't know who she had offended.
When a group of big men saw Qiao Erya, they first made a nondescript gesture: "This girl, just now we smelled a fragrance on the boat, and I heard that it was wafting from you, I don't know if you can share some of our soup base." ”
Joerya was stunned for a few seconds, and said that what about smashing the field?
The shopkeeper quickly reacted: "A few guest officials are in a hurry, isn't it, our small shop will open tomorrow, and the taste just now is indeed from our store's signature grilled fish." ”
A big man with a scruffy beard widened his eyes: "What's the matter, grilled fish?" ”
Giorya knew that the ancient people had a general perception of fish, mainly because they didn't know how to make fish, and eating it in their mouths was like eating wood residue.
Shu Niang in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief, this group of people is not just looking for fault. She considered moving out of her identity as a last resort, and as long as they heard of her former name, they would give her a thin face.
Qiao Erya smiled and explained: "Our fish has been processed several times, the meat is tender, and there will be absolutely no fishy smell, if you don't believe it, you can order a try, we don't charge money if it's not delicious." ”
"We also have grilled vegetables and all kinds of seafood, and our main focus is on fresh ingredients, so you can make sure you will never forget it."
Giorya laughed with small dimples, and several young men were stunned.
A middle-aged man patted the case: "Let's order a fish, and the store's signature dish will have a copy." Little girl, we have ugly things ahead, don't pay if it's not delicious! ”
The shopkeeper is a little anxious, these men are not easy to mess with, what if they deliberately eat the overlord meal.
Jorya just smiled: "Of course, I won't let you spend money in vain." She cast a look at the shopkeeper and motioned for the other party to steady.
As for daring to eat the overlord meal, her killer weapon hasn't been taken out yet.
Before going out, Xiao Jinyou assigned one of his secret guards to her, and if the situation was not right, he would take action.
If you want to eat overlord food, don't even think about leaving the store!
Qiao Erya's guess of business competition has become an early opening, but generally there will be a pre-opening before the opening of the store, so it is regarded as a good fortune in advance.
On this street, Joerya only bought the right side, and many of the shops on the left were open, and the shopkeeper and his men looked at each other frequently.
They were more anxious than the men on the ship, but they didn't open today, so they couldn't bear to come.
The boss of Jixiangbu Village was full of anxiety: "How is it?" Have you heard what you are eating? ”
The guy swallowed: "Barbecue, I heard grilled eggplant, grilled lamb skewers, grilled pork belly, and grilled oysters and grilled fish." ”
The boss pinched his chin: "Barbecue? Isn't that what the Hu people eat? ”
The guy hurriedly explained: "It's different, the taste of grilled fish is particularly domineering, and I still smell of grilled fish in my nose now." Those men said that they didn't pay for the food, and I saw that they wanted to bury their heads in their plates. ”
The guy looked at the boss and expected the boss to go for a meal and bring him some leftover fish.
The boss was skeptical: "Is it really so delicious?" He was trying to see the business, but he was blocked by a horse-drawn carriage.
In the end, I didn't resist the temptation: "That's it, I'll take a look, and I'll know how it tastes after eating it." ”
As soon as he went out, he met the owner of the bookstore next door.
The two smiled awkwardly: "What a coincidence, are you also going to have a look?" ”
"Together?"
"Together!"
When they walked in, they found that it was the carriage of King An's Mansion, and it was too late to go back, so they could only enter the store hard.
The two bosses ordered a grilled fish, ready to spend money.
By the time the grilled fish was served, they were no different from the guests at the next table, eager to put their heads on the plate.
When they returned to the store after eating and drinking, the boss felt weak when he saw the salivating eyes of the guys.
"What, I didn't eat grilled fish, I smelled it, and I didn't dare to try it."
The guy pouted quietly, the spices on the corners of the boss's mouth were not wiped clean, and the smell of grilled fish was all over his body.
The boss also felt that he was not kind: "In this way, you go to the store to eat a roasted eggplant, and the money will be counted in my account." ”
The guy suddenly smiled: "Thank you, boss!" The owner is so atmospheric! ”
Shu Niang listened to the steady stream of guests entering the store in the carriage, and couldn't help but be happy for Miss Qiao.
It will only open tomorrow, and if you attract so many customers with one meal today, business will definitely be prosperous tomorrow.
After a few words of greeting, Qiao Erya knew that business competition was probably gone.
There are a few restaurants in Qiongzhou Mansion, and the taste is decent, and these boatmen only go ashore to eat when they are tired of eating cakes.
They are in the business of pinning their heads to the waistband of their trousers, don't look at the proximity of Qiongzhou to the land, and if you are unlucky, you will encounter pirates.
There is nowhere to spend the wages saved, and maybe one day the people die and the money is not spent.
It's a pity that the Qiongzhou Mansion is not angry, and there is no place to spend money, so they can only buy it and drink on the boat if they want to drink.
Finally talking about this, Jorya warmly recommends her own drinks.
"This thing is called cola, which can relieve the spicy taste in the mouth and the greasy taste of the meat that has been eaten, and the taste is refreshing; This is fruit wine, which is made from pineapples, and has a sweet taste. ”
The big man who had just ordered the food shouted: "The wine is still sweet? ”
Qiao Erya simply poured a pot each: "It's not officially open today, and the drinks are free, so you can try it or not." ”
Because it was easy to make trouble when she drank too much alcohol, Jorya only chose fruity beer and cola.
Dahan took the fruit wine: "You little lady is so generous, your taste is unique, and your business will be prosperous." ”
After receiving the free drink, everyone shouted congratulatory words.
Qiao Erya said: "Then there are more good words for you." ”
