I see that there is a sister paper that says that there are fewer updates.,If you want to see more updates.,Welcome to long comments and smash red envelopes.,Each long comment can crit the author drop a chapter of 3000 words update!)
In fact, there are several shops on her private property, and the income is better than that of "Guilinju", but there is only one restaurant in "Guilinju", since the third daughter-in-law has some talent in eating, then this "Guilinju" is now the most suitable for her to operate.
The Dawu Dynasty does not pay attention to what nobles and nobles do not involve business, and the housewives of various provinces have some means, which one does not have a few shops that make money.
Even the queen of the dynasty, there are shops she secretly opened in Shengjing City, but everyone knows it, and no one says it in the open.
If the housewives can take care of the property in their hands, it is also a manifestation of their ability.
After all, no matter if everyone is small, they have to spend money.
There are also a few shops in the public account of Jing'an Bofu, but they are all in the hands of the daughter-in-law of the big house, Zou, and it is not good for Mrs. He to come. Besides, she also knows some of the details, and there is not much surplus in those shops on weekdays, and it is not easy for the Zou family to be in charge.
So, the old lady thought about it for a night, and then decided to choose a shop in her private property to practice for the third daughter-in-law.
Chu Lian married a shop, not to mention a shop, even if she didn't have a field property to marry, Mrs. He also knew about her situation.
Although it is said that Guilinju is a time-honored brand for decades, but it has not been famous in Shengjing City, it was okay in the early years, and there was a slight surplus every month, but in the past ten years, the East and West City has been reorganized, and the East and West Cities in Shengjing City have been redivided. However, after the East Market changed places, the generation of Guilinju became a private house, and there was no flow of people, and the dishes of Guilinju were already average, and gradually no one cared about it.
In recent years, there has been a deficit every month, and there were originally five running hall guys in Linju, but now there is only one person left. Nowadays, three or two guests burn high incense every day.
The reason why He Lao Taijun still lets people run Gui Lin Ju is just because of the special emotion for it, after all, Gui Lin Ju is Lao Taijun's dowry, and it was handed over to her by Lao Taijun's mother, and the name of your restaurant was given by Lao Taijun's mother herself.
It has been more than ten years since the old lady's mother passed away, and the time-honored brand of Guilinju has become a spiritual sustenance for the elderly.
Mrs. He bowed, "Grandmother sees that you have nothing to do in the house all day, find something for you to do, you won't blame grandmother!"
Chu Lian's eyes widened slightly, "Grandmother wants me to manage Guilin Ju?"
Mrs. He smiled, "This restaurant is my dowry, and now it is not running well, the third daughter-in-law, if you can revitalize it, grandmother will be the master and give this restaurant to you, but there is one point, this brand of Linju can only do restaurant business." ”
Isn't this drowsy coming, someone handing a pillow?
She has just been looking for a way to make money these days, and the old lady is going to give her a restaurant for her to run, and Chu Lian didn't have such good luck in the past.
Chu Lian of the original book first obtained the power of the family, and then when Lao Taijun was seriously ill, he obtained several private property shops in Lao Taijun's hands through alternative methods.
"Is this ...... true?"
However, before Chu Lian finished speaking, he was interrupted by Old Taijun He.
Mrs. He deliberately made a straight face, "But what is it, grandmother gave it to you, you just continue, like Da Lang they want it, grandmother still doesn't give it! Even if it is not well managed, grandmother does not blame you, the restaurant on the left and right is not profitable now, there is nothing worse than now." ”
The old lady misunderstood what Chu Lian meant, and Chu Lian also knew that now was not a good time to explain. The little face was a little blushing because of happiness, and people couldn't help but reach out and pinch it to see if it was as smooth as imagined.
Don't say it, Mrs. He really did it.
Chu Lian was a little embarrassed to be pinched, and called "grandmother" coquettishly, after all, her age in her heart was not the current teenage girl.
Here, the grandparents and grandchildren get along harmoniously, and Mama Liu also came in with a smile to report that the eldest grandmother came with two little young ladies.
Chu Lian glanced at the account book and then at Mrs. He, the light in his eyes was obviously mixed with expectation.
Mrs. He smiled, "You weird, okay, wait for your sister-in-law to come, I'll talk to her." ”
After getting the old lady's words, Chu Lian put his mind at ease.
Although I can't see this Zou family's thoughts from the original text, she is Wei Fengzi's close friend after all, and Wei Fengzi is not ordinary.
In the original text, the Zou family was injured early because of Chu Lian's design, and they couldn't even get out of bed, but now it's different, the Zou family is fine, and they are in charge of the entire Jing'an Bo Mansion, they are daughters-in-law of different houses, and now there is no conflict of interest.
No matter what the Zou family's character is, Chu Lian doesn't want to affect the balance of the concubine because the old lady gave her an ordinary restaurant, so that the Zou family holds a grudge against her.
Now, her husband is no longer around, she doesn't want to make an enemy for herself in the inner house, how difficult it would be to live that day!
Sure enough, the Zou family entered the Qinghui Hall and frowned slightly after hearing that Chu Lian had been here for a while.
She quietly took her two daughters into the flower hall, and when the Zou family saluted, Chu Lian got up and smiled and returned the salute with her.
Then Mrs. He opened up and told her about running a restaurant for Chu Lian, and the slightly tight-hearted Zou family was relieved after hearing Mrs. He say it to her so openly.
She has a little understanding of the few shops under the old lady's private property.
One of the most profitable is a sencha shop, roughly estimated to be able to earn two or three hundred taels per month, the worst shop is this "Guilinju", a loss-making business for many years, Zou has not quite understood, since Guilinju is not profitable, why doesn't the old lady put the wine out of the real estate, and then in a densely populated place another storefront.
It's just a loss-making restaurant, and the old lady said to her bluntly again, but Zou doesn't care anymore, and even his impression of Chu Lian is much better.
"Dalang's daughter-in-law, you have been a housekeeper for many years, and the shop in your hand is also well-run, so you have nothing to do and point to the third daughter-in-law. ”
Zou smiled sincerely this time, "As long as the third brother and sister don't dislike me, they can come to my yard at any time." ”
"Then I'll thank my sister-in-law first!"
Mrs. He saw that the two concubines were getting along happily, and her heart was also comfortable, her eyes fell on the two great-granddaughters again, and she opened her hand and said, "Sister An, Sister Lin, come to Grandma's side quickly, let Grandma take a good look." ”
Mrs. He touched the heads of the two little great-granddaughters lovingly, but she felt a little regretful in her heart, now that Sister An is six years old, she has not been able to hold a great-grandson, so thinking about it, she looked at Chu Lian's flat little belly.
Since Chu Lian came to this Great Martial Dynasty inexplicably, he has been particularly sensitive to other people's eyes and various tastes.
found that the old lady was glancing at her stomach, and suddenly her whole body stiffened, and the whole person was not good.
She forgot that in the eyes of Mrs. He, she had a "spring night" with He Sanlang......
The daughter of the Chu family has a reputation for being a good child, maybe in the eyes of Mrs. He, she is a good physique that "must be shot at once......
Chu Lian twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, she is still pregnant, she is clearly still a chick now.
It's scary if you're pregnant!
Bringing the account book, and going to Mrs. Jing Anbo with the Zou family to make half a cup of tea, Chu Lian returned to his Songtao Garden.
She has a lot of things to do today, so she has to make some snacks as a return gift to Mrs. Yang and other ladies yesterday, and she has to take time to practice big characters.
I'm about to run a restaurant, and I can't even recognize all the traditional characters. The rest of the time, I have to look at the ledger of this Lin Ju.
went back and put the account book away, and Chu Lian took Xi Yan and Jing Yan to the small kitchen. The materials of Shou Tao were well prepared, Chu Lian saw that there were still many red beans left in the small kitchen, and when he had an idea, he remembered the dim sum "Beijing Eight Pieces" in old Beijing.
This is a kind of northern-style dim sum, with a long history and a wide variety, when Chu Lian went to Beijing to play, he followed an old grandmother in a courtyard to learn, in order to learn this authentic Beijing eight pieces, she deliberately lived in that courtyard for half a month.
The reason why it is called eight pieces is because the filling of each dim sum is different, a total of eight pieces, and there are eight kinds of shapes, which is the most complex dim sum made by Chu Lian so far, but the materials of the eight pieces of Beijing are ordinary, and these eight kinds of fillings can be made even in the backward Dawu Dynasty with food culture.
Chu Lian commanded Xi Yan to pound red bean paste, Jing Yan to wash green plums and raisins, and did it himself.
When the dim sum was ready, Xi Yan and Jing Yan were stunned with wide eyes.
Chu Lian took the small and delicate oval lace bamboo basket she had prepared from Mama Gui, who was standing on the verandah outside the kitchen.
walked to the table, smiled and said to Xiyan Jingyan: "You see, I'll only do it once, and I'll leave it to you below." ”
Because he wanted to send seven or eight houses, Chu Lian made a lot of dim sum this time, only to see Chu Lian carefully arrange the dim sum in the shape of a waist or a drummer or a bat, and finally took a half-opened peony that had just been picked, sprinkled a little water on the petals and put it in an empty place on the bamboo basket.
In this way, the eight pieces of Kyoto are complete.
I saw that various flavors of dim sum were regularly piled up in delicate small bamboo baskets, which were already very good-looking, but they were all crispy dim sums made of flour fillings, and the color was inevitably single, but with a red and gorgeous peony, it instantly made people shine, especially in such a hot summer, as if this dim sum would have a layer of elegant and light floral fragrance, which made people have more desire to eat.
Jing Yanda opened his eyes and swallowed hard, muttering, "Three...... Third grandma, it's so beautiful! Such a snack, slave ...... Slaves and maids are reluctant to eat. ”
Chu Lian glared at her with a smile, "Remember, the rest will be put on the plate like this, and there will be more left, after the plate, you can also take some and taste it together." ”
When Xi Yan Jingyan heard that there was still their share, they all smiled.
The snacks used as thank-you gifts were sent to Chu Lian after they were put on a plate, and Chu Lian chose a brocade box of moderate size, spread black velvet on it, put the bamboo basket in it, and tied the brocade box. The jewelry of the ladies of each province was also packed in a wooden box of suitable size, handed it to the housekeeper, and sent a clever servant to each house, and explained that this brocade box was a snack, and it was not necessary to eat it overnight.
