Chapter 84: The Golden Abacus

"This is ......" Xiao Jiuyue looked at these letters, most of which were addressed to Mrs. Xiao.

"These are all your father, your grandfather's protΓ©gΓ©s, although they are not in Shengjing, but if there is something, they can still be asked to help."

Old Madam Xiao introduced one by one: "This is the envoy of Hongdu, Song De'an, Emperor Jing's first year, with an upright personality, offended many people, it was your grandfather who helped, these years, there is no friendship on weekdays, but if there is really something, he will never sit idly by." ”

"And this." Old Madam Xiao pointed to the second letter and said, "Ji Wei, I followed your father in my early years, and later transferred to various places, and now I am a Tongzhi in Meicheng. ”

Xiao Jiuyue wrote it down carefully, she knew that her grandmother was afraid that today's events would recur, so she deliberately explained these things to her, and her eyes fell on the next letter, the big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, free and elegant.

"Rong Xun, Tanhualang the year before last, the emperor intended to let him be a princess, but he refused in a daze, it was your father who went around and saved his life, and now, when he is a county in Xunzhou, Xunzhou is remote, if it weren't for the princess's affairs, he would never be just a small county now."

Old Madam Xiao's eyes fell into recollection: "Rong Xun, I have seen it once, the breeze is bright and the moon is clear, he is a decent person, I heard your father say that he is more bitter than the people in this county." ”

"It's hard to be a clean official, and it's hard to deal with a little ghost." Xiao Jiuyue understood at once, such as Song De'an, who had a upright personality, so he was trusted by the emperor and became the envoy of Hongdu.

For example, Ji Wei may not be as beautiful as Jingguan, but he is definitely not the kind of corrupt person.

For example, Rong Xun, Tanhualang should have entered the Hanlin Academy, and it was impossible to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future, but Rong Xun was relegated to Xunzhou as a small county because he was unwilling to be Princess Shang.

Xunzhou is located in the lower reaches of the Zhangjiang River, not to mention the remoteness, the perennial water rises, and it is a barren land.

"That's right." Old Madam Xiao looked at her and said, "You may not be able to use it, but you know more, and you know it in your heart." ”

"Thank you, grandmother." Xiao Jiuyue took these fluttering letters, and only felt like a thousand gold.

"Silly." Old Madam Xiao's eyes were crooked when she looked at her, and she sighed: "Yue'er, you don't have to work hard to do this, let alone deal with these complicated relationships outside. ”

"Grandmother, I'm having a good time, I'm happy." Xiao Jiuyue pursed her lips and smiled: "The business of the candy shop is very good, and the silver divided this month can be divided into at least one thousand taels!" ”

Don't look at the price of dim sum is not expensive, but the profit is high, and after the sales follow, the silver will be more!

"You."

When Old Madam Xiao heard this, she felt even more distressed, how could Xiao Jiuyue in the past be happy because of a thousand taels of silver?

I have to say, this is a beautiful misunderstanding.

Leaving from Old Madam Xiao, Xiao Jiuyue gathered the cloak on her body, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, which was as big as a disk, and muttered, "Is it going to snow again?" ”

After the beginning of winter last year, there have been three heavy snowfalls, and today the wind is blowing and cutting faces.

"Who knows, but Hongdu is much better than Shengjing." Lianxin replied: "At this time in Shengjing, the snow has fallen countless times, and it was freezing that day, and I didn't even want to go out." ”

Compared with Shengjing, Lianxin still likes Hongdu more.

"That's right." Xiao Jiuyue pursed her lips and smiled, returned to the courtyard, and saw that the lights were still on in the main courtyard of the East Wing, and the beauty lady hadn't slept yet?

"Yue'er, you're back." As soon as Su Shi saw Xiao Jiuyue, he immediately walked out, Xiao Jiuyue walked into the house quickly, and pushed Su Shi in: "It's cold outside, mother, you have so few clothes, don't catch a cold!" ”

"It's okay, I heard that someone died in the candy shop, are you okay?" Su Shi asked anxiously, Su Shi had been inquiring about the news, and the more she inquired, the more uneasy she became, until Xiao Jiuyue sent someone back to report the news, saying that it was safe and that she was going to the county for dinner.

Su Shi was worried that she would encounter injustice on the way back, until Xiao Jiuyue came back and went to the main courtyard of Old Madam Xiao, and Su Shi stewed brown sugar ginger jujube tea on the stove.

"Here, warm up." After Su Shi asked, he handed her a heart-warming brown sugar ginger jujube tea.

"It's just that something happened to the Fang family, and it has nothing to do with the candy shop." Xiao Jiuyue explained simply, skipping some thrilling things, such as the miserable death of the maid, and the fact that the maid who was finally pulled out as a scapegoat hit the tree and disappeared, Xiao Jiuyue didn't mention a word.

The steaming brown sugar ginger jujube tea, the spicy ginger, and the sweetness of the brown sugar dispelled the chill in her heart, and said: "The first month will start school, and tomorrow, I am going to let Mr. Jin send Jiayuan and Jiacheng to school." ”

Su Shi originally wanted to ask, but after listening to Xiao Jiuyue's words, he was immediately diverted and said, "This day is about to change the sky, this ......"

"Mother, when I go to school in winter, even if it snows, I have to go, now the coldest time has passed, and now it is early spring, they go out to take a carriage, and they can study at ease when they arrive at the college."

Xiao Jiuyue reminded: "Jiayuan is a man, it's cold, don't be afraid, my mother prepared a hand warmer for them, and they can't freeze. ”

"Well, I'll prepare now." Su Shi started to get busy again, Xiao Jiuyue grabbed her hand and said, "Ming'er's things, I have them ready, you sleep first today, and come back tomorrow." ”

Xiao Jiuyue sent Su Shi back to the inner room to rest, then went back to the room, took off her cloak, the charcoal fire in the room was warm, and she asked, "What did the shopkeeper tell you?" ”

Eating in the restaurant today, Xiao Jiuyue deliberately did not go to see the shopkeeper Zeng.

Lianxin poured hot tea for her and replied: "The shopkeeper Zeng said that he wanted to see Miss and talk about cooperation." ”

"Cooperation?" Xiao Jiuyue understood, this is to be the No. 1 restaurant in Hongdu?

"Yes, I see, the shopkeeper Zeng is in a very good mood." Lianxin continued: "I chatted a few words with the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper should have won the praise of the owner, and he also got a golden abacus, which is very good. ”

"It seems that last year, with these dishes, I made a lot of money." Xiao Jiuyue warmed her hands and said, "Grinding ink." ”

"Miss, it's so late this day, still writing?" Lianxin said on her lips, but she didn't stop in her hands, skillfully grinding ink and laying paper for Xiao Jiuyue.

"Isn't it time yet?" Xiao Jiuyue picked up the pen and began to write again, about how to make Fengchun Lou the first restaurant in Hongdu, this is difficult to say, it is not difficult to say, it is not difficult to say, now, the most important thing is to find dishes that can make the restaurant out of the circle!

Xiao Jiuyue has been in the past six months, even if the shopkeeper has not mentioned cooperation, she has been making plans, and she is also thinking about how to build Hongdu Restaurant into the first restaurant.

She has also prepared several sets of various marketing plans in later generations, but the main signature dish is unforgettable, and when it comes to this dish, it reminds me of Hongdu Restaurant, which is really difficult to pick!
