Chapter 444: Acting in a Play
Su Qingyan smiled lightly, "Yes, I hope this one in my stomach can be like him." ”
"Definitely."
Yihuan served her to wash up properly, and said, "The sky is clear today, is Concubine Su going out for a walk?" ”
"Well, I've been out for so long, and I don't know what the situation is in the Chamber of Commerce, since I've come back, of course I have to go and see it."
"Slave maid to accompany Concubine Su?"
"No, you take good care of Yi'an in the house, and Xie Ying will accompany me over."
Su Qingyan straightened his clothes and called Xie Ying out of the mansion together.
The two of them sat in the carriage and looked at the familiar street market, and they were in a good mood.
"Although the border market is also very lively, it still can't catch up with the prosperity of Kyoto City in our main beam." Xie Ying sighed.
"yes, when I came back, I felt that the air smelled much better."
"The meaning of the homeland is different for many people." Otherwise, there are so many people in foreign lands who have to hold their breath before dying and rush back to the place where they grew up to be buried, which is the truth of returning to the roots.
About half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the seafood restaurant.
Su Qingyan was helped down by Xie Ying, and when he looked at it, he found that there were many fewer diners inside than before.
"In the letters sent by the shopkeeper Guo before, he always said that everything was fine, so I don't have to worry, but now it seems that this is probably not the case."
Xie Ying nodded, "My subordinates will accompany you in." ”
"Hmm."
The two stepped into the seafood restaurant, and the busy shopkeeper Guo saw them, his eyes lit up, and he immediately greeted them, "Qingyan, you're finally back." ”
"Big brother seems to have gone down a lot, and it's been a hard time."
"It's not hard, it's all as it should be, you go upstairs first and wait for a while, and I'll come over after I'm done with what I'm doing."
"Okay."
Su Qingyan is now pregnant, and she really can't smell the strong smell of seafood, and she always feels a little sick to her stomach.
She went upstairs to sit down, and before she could wait, Shopkeeper Guo came over with tea and pastries.
"Qingyan, what happened in the palace yesterday has been spread all over the world, big brother should congratulate you."
"There's nothing to congratulate, my position as Concubine Su almost made Tianhui and the emperor tear their faces, it's really not worth it."
"Where, the eldest brother knows that you don't care about these false names, but you have been with Xiaoyaosu for so long, and you still don't even have a name, how can this work."
Su Qingyan sighed, "I understand what the eldest brother meant, now everything is a foregone conclusion, there is nothing to say." ”
"This is a good thing, you should be happy, and Yao Guogong also recognizes you as a righteous daughter, so your identity is a lot more noble."
"No matter what identity I become, I will always be the sister of my eldest brother."
Shopkeeper Guo laughed, and was quite moved in his heart, "Big brother knows that you miss the old love, just don't talk about this, eat some pastries to cushion your stomach."
Su Qingyan picked up a small bite and asked about business, "Big brother, when I first came, I found that there were a lot fewer diners in the seafood restaurant than before, is there something going on in the restaurant?" ”
"Alas, during the time you left, no new dishes have been introduced, and the weather was cold before, the weather at sea was unpredictable, and the fishing team only dared to fish in the shallow sea, and the things sent were relatively simple, and the diners got tired of eating too much."
"Didn't I develop a lot of new snacks before I left?"
"It's the same as seafood, you can eat it once or twice, and it's not special after a long time." The magnates of Kyoto City are very picky, and they are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it is difficult to put ordinary things in their eyes.
As for those ordinary people, it is not bad to be able to come to the restaurant to spend two or three times a month, after all, they still have to save money to live, how can they squander it at will.
"Now that the weather has warmed up, the fishing team will soon be able to go to the deeper seas, and when the time comes, more seafood will be transported back, and our special seafood pot will still be able to attract a lot of traffic."
"I hope so." Shopkeeper Guo frowned, and it seemed that he was very worried about the future business.
Su Qingyan asked, "Big brother, in addition to our seafood restaurant, how is the business of the other shops in the Chamber of Commerce?" ”
"It's not bad, especially the medicinal food workshop, when the weather is cold, many people pay attention to health preservation, and the new medicinal food will be sold out every day."
Su Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Fortunately, the other shops are quite stable, and if they all enter a cold period of business like a seafood restaurant, then she will be busy.
"Big brother, you don't have to feel anxious, since I'm back, I will definitely find a way to restore business to normal."
"Well, I believe you." No one dares to question Qingyan's talent in business, and with her in charge, the seafood restaurant will definitely be able to return to its former prosperity.
The restaurant business is not something that can be changed overnight, it needs to be a protracted battle.
Su Qingyan sat in the private room for a while, and took Xie Ying back to Su Mansion first.
She needed to come up with a perfect strategy that would attract customers without having to change the business model too much.
"Concubine Su, you can be regarded as back!" Yihuan who stayed in the yard was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
"What's wrong?"
"The front hall is crowded with many powerful ministers' daughters, all of whom are here to congratulate you, just the congratulatory gifts are almost piled up into a small mountain, and the slaves and maids really don't know what to do."
Su Qingyan pursed his lips.
In the past, there were so many people in the Su Mansion that they couldn't even see the shadow of a person, but now that group of people got the news and came faster than anyone else.
"Concubine Su, why don't you go to the front hall, or outsiders should slander you for not knowing how to be polite."
"Naturally, I'm going."
Su Qingyan has always hated false greetings, but the things on the scene still have to be dealt with, after all, her every move now represents Lu Tianhui's face.
She changed into her modest clothes and went to the main hall with a smile.
The women and nobles who had been waiting for a long time saw her coming, and they knelt down and saluted, "See Concubine Su." ”
"Don't be formal, get up."
The women all looked at Su Qingyan with smiles on their faces, although most of them were wall grasses that tended to be inflammatory, but there were also some who had a little friendship with her before, and these noble ladies hoped that she would have a good life.
"Concubine Su's name will be written into the royal family tree in the near future, and she was recognized as a righteous daughter by Yao Guo last night, which is really a double happiness."
"What's more, Concubine Su is still pregnant with Su Ye's heir in her belly, it should be three joys."
The words of praise were one after another, and Su Qingyan listened patiently for a while, basically patting on the back.
"I have received all the congratulations from ladies and ladies, thank you for coming in person, and when I am free in some time, I will set up a banquet and invite everyone to come for a small gathering, which is lively and lively."
"Concubine Su is too polite."
Everyone flattered enthusiastically, and even took out specially prepared congratulatory gifts, wanting to please Su Qingyan.
"Concubine Su, this is a statue of Guanyin that I specially asked the craftsman to make of pure gold, I hope to bless the child in your womb to be born safely and securely, and to be rich and prosperous in the future."
Who in Kyoto doesn't know that Su Qingyan is a money skewer?
Compared with sending some calligraphy and paintings, it is still gold and silver things that are more pleasing to her.
But it was too ugly to send the silver directly, so she made it into this special style, so she couldn't refuse. Su Qingyan, who was sitting on the mahogany chair, was almost blinded by the golden Guanyin, "I thank Mrs. for the child's thoughts." ”
