I have never seen such a person, and if the Xiao family is not staying, they have to struggle to go outside. Do you really think that the sea and the sky outside are very good?

She has seen too little of the darkness in this world.

After a sigh of relief, Xiao Jingtang didn't speak all the way, and when he went back to the house, he went straight to the study, found a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and raised his hand to write, when he saw the back of his hand.

"What the hell?"

A lively bow that is tied to the back of his hand in a girlish way.

The gentle smile that followed in said, "How boring is an ordinary bandage?

Glaring at her twice, the second young master picked up the pen angrily and began to write the note, his eyes were full of disgust, but he didn't remove the bow.

I leaned my head over to watch him write, and I was gently surprised to find that this person's handwriting was actually quite beautiful.

"What else can't you do?" couldn't help but sigh, and said gently: "Could it be that you haven't slept for more than 20 years?

After a pause, Xiao Jingtang snorted coldly: "There is a thing called talent. ”

Gentleness: "......"

This iceberg is shameless, and it is really shameless.

After the note was written, Xiao Jingtang stretched out his hand and drew the charge, and then handed it to her: "Keep it yourself." ”

After taking it and looking at it, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, he gently and carefully pressed the handprint, and then carefully put it into his arms.

"By the way, can the slave ask more?" Gentle was a little curious: "The Xiao family has a lot of shops, and they all do business, what else do you buy Haoyue Bay for?"

Glancing at her, Xiao Jingtang said goodbyely: "There is new business to do, you don't need to ask about this." ”

Well, after all, it's a trade secret, so I don't ask too much if I am gentle.

However, a few days later, just as she was cleaning up the house, Lian Sui ran in excitedly, pulled her and said, "Have you heard? The Xiao family opened a barbecue restaurant, which is in Haoyue Bay, and I heard that the taste is excellent, and the fragrance is far away, so that people passing by on the canal can't help but stop and taste it." It seems that the county magistrate has also gone, and the city has been talking about this matter recently!"

Huh? tilted his head and squinted gently: "What did you say he opened?"

"Barbecue farm. "Although I don't like this second young master very much, he is really smart." Originally, there was only one row of shops in Haoyue Bay, and more than a dozen of them sold groceries, and the business was neither salty nor light. He did a good job of lifting the roofs of the dozen or so shops and making a partition from the outside, which was specially used by the nobles to barbecue meat inside. A large open space outside Haoyue Bay is all made of stone stoves, and there are hundreds of tables, which are wide and spacious, and can be eaten by many people at the same time. And the price of the table outside is low, the price of the table inside is high, and the ingredients are better, so the nobles and the common people can go. ”

Isn't this a modern self-service barbecue? Gritting her teeth gently, Xiao Jingtang is stealing her creativity!

Throwing away the sheets in his hand, he gently turned his head and ran towards the main house.

Xiao Jingtang was listening to the housekeeper's report.

"After two days of trial, there are many ships passing by, and there are naturally many guests, and this way of eating is novel, many people in the city also came to barbecue. Coupled with the role of the county magistrate, after just three days of operation, the net profit is eight hundred and two. Steward Xiao said: "However, some nobles feel novel at first, but in the end they inevitably feel a little tired, and the old slave has asked people to add two maids to each table in the noble area to help roast." ”

"You're in order. Xiao Jingtang bowed: "Have you found a supply channel for vegetables and meat?"

"I found it, and the most appropriate ones to try it out are the pork of Butcher Zhang's house and a vegetable garden surnamed Li. The butler said: "But the butcher seems to be doing other work, and his son is helping to sell the pork, but it is the same as before, the person is kind, and the meat is not bad." ”

"There is still a large open space on the other side of the Haoyue Bay embankment, right?" Xiao Jingtang thought for a while: "The internal organs of pigs, cattle and sheep are not valuable, but the boatman can't afford to eat too good meat, anyway, he buys these ingredients together, don't waste the internal organs and blood, build some stoves under the embankment, put pots, water and seasonings, and supply them to the boatmen who come and go at a low price." ”

The internal organs and the like are generally thrown away, and only he can think of it, and he can make another profit.

Steward Xiao bowed his head, and he wrote it down. Just as he was about to say more, the closed door was kicked open.

That's right, the kind that kicks it away.

Steward Xiao was startled, looked back, but saw a gentle and dignified tea, walked in with small lotus steps, and smiled at Xiao Jingtang: "Second young master, drink tea." ”

Looking at her calm appearance, and then at the door that was kicked and shaking, Steward Xiao was a little puzzled.

Could it be that someone else kicked it?

Second Young Master Xiao was used to it, and after taking a sip of tea, he looked up and asked her, "Is there something?"

"I heard that the second young master opened a barbecue restaurant. Gentle and smiling and said, "The slave and maid come to congratulate." ”

Coughing lightly, Xiao Jingtang didn't start, and said "um" with a slight heart.

"Is this the menu?"

Glancing at the things on the table, Gentle picked it up and looked at it.

Steward Xiao opened his mouth, and wanted to say that this can't be seen casually, and it hasn't been announced yet...... But seeing that his young master didn't react, he still chose not to speak.

"That's it?" pouted gently, "Where is there enough to bake?"

In fact, there are more than 20 dishes on the menu, but in the eyes of gentleness, it is simply not attractive.

"Do you know which ones can be baked?" Turning around, Xiao Jingtang's eyes lit up slightly.

"That's easy to say. He smiled gently: "I can still think of fifty kinds of dishes for the nobles, and even more for the people, at least eighty kinds, so that people feel that there are endless good things in your barbecue farm, so that business will be better." ”

"What do you want?" Xiao Jingtang said directly: "Except for silver, everything else is fine." ”

Refuse to give the silver? pouted gently: "Okay, you give me five days off, I want to go back to my mother's house to see." ”

Returning to your mother's house? Xiao Jingtang sneered: "The Du family has severed relations with you, where did you come from?"

Slightly stunned, he lowered his eyes gently.

It's over, a casual lie can be exposed, she just wants to take leave for a few days, and she doesn't know what happened to Pei Fangwu, she can't keep going.

Seeing that she was silent, Xiao was stunned, glanced at the housekeeper next to him with some confusion, and asked with his eyes: Did I say something wrong again?

Steward Xiao nodded, which pot is not opened, which pot is not opened, Liu's family was suspended, and Du's family was demoted, it is true that there is no mother's family, but it is inevitable to hurt people's hearts to say it like this.

“...... Go ahead, you should still be able to find Liu. Coughing lightly, Xiao Jingtang said: "As long as you write out the menu, you can receive your salary for the five days of vacation." ”
