In spring, the grass by the river is blooming, and the flowers are blooming on the water.

Qingyang Mansion is located in the southwest, the climate is humid all year round, and the city is full of flowers outside the city.

Bai Cheng returned to the Xuangui Hall early in the morning, and was called to the main hall, had a secret conversation with Zhang Daoren, went out of the main hall, and went to Lu Jianshan to congratulate him non-stop.

In the main hall, Bai Cheng thought about it, and finally made an agreement with Zhang Daoren, three days later, Zhang Daoren found a reason to transfer the disciples around Lu Jianshan, and then the Qingji Daoren took the opportunity to eradicate Lu Jianshan.

The reason why it is so agreed is because of the Heaven and Earth Forbidden Talisman mentioned by Zhang Daoren, which is not a small temptation to Baicheng.

Whether it was because of Xiaowan's matter or Uncle Zhou's entrustment, Bai Cheng had a reason to kill Lu Jianshan, but he had no plan to deal with Lu Jianshan at present, so he knew that Zhang Dao had a ghost in his heart, he still agreed.

While he was walking on the road, Bai Cheng suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Isn't this Eleven Lang?

Bai Cheng felt familiar when he heard this voice, and turned his head to look, not far behind him, Cui Bofang, the boss of the Cui family, was standing in front of a restaurant, looking at himself with a smile on his face, as if he had seen the God of Wealth.

Bai Cheng smiled, stepped forward and said, "It turned out to be Brother Cui, I don't know how Big Brother had time to come out?"

Cui Bofang saw Bai Cheng coming, grabbed Bai Cheng's arm and said: "The eldest brother is doing the accounting room in this restaurant, but it has always been rare to see brothers, today it is rare for brothers to pass by here, the eldest brother calls for a few dishes, you and I have a drink!"

After speaking, Cui Bofang pulled Bai Cheng into the restaurant and shouted at the guy: "Qian San, go and let Master Zhang fry a few specialty dishes, and let Master Liu stew a pot of matsutake stewed rice!"

Bai Cheng saw Cui Bofang so enthusiastic, and was secretly curious in his heart, although he and Cui Bofang did not have much contact, he knew that this person was a person who did not like to talk, and he didn't have a few words with the Cui couple at home on weekdays, but he didn't know why he changed his temperament today.

Bai Cheng didn't know that a few days ago, Cui Boyuan went out and said that he was going to be the altar master, but although the altar owner didn't make it, he brought back thousands of taels of snowflake silver, which shocked the whole family.

Cui Bofang and Cui Boyuan grew up together since childhood, knowing that his brother had no ability, and he was afraid that the money would come from the wrong way, so he asked the Cui couple how the brother made a fortune, and the Cui couple couldn't say why, they only said that they had made a deal with Baicheng and made a lot of money, and they were on the right path, so he didn't have to worry.

Cui Bofang is a man, and when he saw that there was no problem with the way the silver came, he didn't take this matter to heart, but the first two **** suddenly encountered an important matter and urgently needed a large sum of silver, but he was unwilling to open his mouth to Cui Boyuan, so he took a large amount of silver for nothing, so he went to inquire about Baicheng's whereabouts, and wanted to do business with Baicheng, but he happened to meet Baicheng at the door today.

This restaurant is called Jufu Building, there are two floors up and down, the lower floor is the lobby, there are more than a dozen tables, bustling and crowded with a lot of people, the upper floor is all private rooms, with green bamboo fences, the first floor is divided into four or five small rooms, but it is a lot quieter.

Cui Bofang pulled Bai Cheng to a small room by the window, made a pot of tea himself, and chatted.

Soon after sitting down, Xiao Er served the meal, and a few stir-fried vegetables were returned, but a pot of matsutake stewed rice was made of both color and taste, and the building was full of fragrance.

Bai Cheng tasted it, only felt that his lips and teeth were fragrant, and said with a smile: "This little brother has eaten a lot of matsutake stewed rice, and the taste is so delicious, it is the first time I have eaten it." ”

Cui Bofang also tasted it and said: "This is a fresh matsutake mushroom after the rain, after the mountain people collect it, they don't stop, send it to the store overnight, and then cook it by Master Liu's skillful hands, so it has such a taste." To be honest, this stewed rice was only sold to a few distinguished customers who often came, but if the guests did not come, the owner would eat it by himself, and even I was the first time to eat it. ”

Bai Cheng smiled: "Then it's time to bother the eldest brother today." ”

Cui Bofang waved his hand and said: "What is the cost of not bothering, the owner is not here for the past two days, and he entrusted me to be in charge of the restaurant, which is also a matter of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." ”

Bai Cheng arched his hand and said, "Then I want to congratulate the eldest brother on his ascension." ”

Cui Bofang smiled bitterly and said: "What kind of promotion is this, it's just a temporary help, seeing my brother today, it's really difficult for my eldest brother to ask my brother for help." ”

Bai Cheng is said: "Brother Cui has something to say." ”

Cui Bofang blushed and whispered: "The owner of this restaurant is surnamed Wu, and there is an only daughter named Xiurong, eldest brother, I grew up with her since childhood, and I admire her very much, and the beauty girl also has some affection for me, so a few days ago, I asked the matchmaker to ask for marriage, and Wu did not refuse." ”

Bai Cheng smiled, "That's a good thing." ”

Cui Bofang sighed and said: "Although Wu Yuanwai did not refuse, but asked me for a dowry of two hundred taels of silver, this money is really not available to the eldest brother, but he also knows that I really have no money, so he said that he has something to go out for more than ten days, during which the restaurant is temporarily handed over to me to manage, and all the silver earned is mine, if he can make up enough two hundred taels after he comes back, he will give me Xiu Rong, if not, alas"

Cui Bofang picked up the tea, took a sip of water and said: "Big brother, I have been doing the accounting office for a long time, and the business in the restaurant cannot be said to be well understood, but I also know how to earn two hundred taels of silver in ten days." ”

After listening to Cui Bofang's remarks, Bai Cheng took out a silver ticket from his arms and slapped it on the table, chuckled and said, "Such a trivial matter, big brother doesn't have to worry." There are some silver taels here, although the eldest brother uses them, if they are not enough, they want the younger brother to ask for them. ”

Cui Bofang looked down and saw that it was a silver ticket of five hundred taels and hurriedly said: "At this time, I must not, I am looking for my brother because I heard that my brother is good at business, so I am looking for a brother to partner in business, how can I take your money for nothing?"

Bai Cheng smiled: "This money is not for the eldest brother to take for nothing. ”

Cui Bofang hurriedly said: "Brother, don't hesitate to talk about any conditions." ”

Bai Cheng took a look at the layout of the restaurant and said: "According to the younger brother, although this Jufu Building is not as good as Xianyun Building in the local area, it is also a first-class restaurant, so the younger brother speculates that Wu Yuanwai is not embarrassed by the big brother for money, and you say that he only has one daughter, the matter is even more obvious, Wu Yuanwai actually looks at the eldest brother well, is a reliable person, and has the heart to marry his daughter to the eldest brother." ”

Cui Bofang was shocked and said: "Then why is he?"

Bai Cheng stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Although Wu Yuanwai knows that the eldest brother has a good character, but he doesn't know how the eldest brother is able to run a restaurant, this restaurant is his hard work, if it is entrusted to a non-person, wouldn't it be a pity, so I want to try the eldest brother's ability to run it, two hundred taels of silver is just an excuse." ”

Cui Bofang was stunned for a while, then his expression suddenly changed, and he said: "I thought it would be really impossible, so I cheekily went to the second brother to borrow some silver taels, according to Shiyi Lang, I am afraid that the borrowed silver will not help, and Shiyi Lang will help the eldest brother!"

Bai Cheng said: "Big brother, don't worry, according to the younger brother, this matter is easy." ”

Cui Bofang hurriedly got up, bowed deeply to Bai Cheng and said, "Please also ask my brother to teach me." ”

Bai Cheng smiled and said: "There are many ways to do this, if there is enough time, we can use membership points, special dishes, advertising, development of cuisine, small gifts, etc., but now there is not much time, we have to find a simple and easy way." ”

In Bai Cheng's previous life, the earth was commercially developed, and it was not comparable to this place, and he could kill with a few moves, so there were many ways to say casually.

Bai Cheng paused, and then said, "I don't know if the eldest brother has eaten slush?"

Cui Bofang said: "The eldest brother went to the north once with the owner when he was young, but he tasted it once. ”

Bai Cheng asked, "What does Big Brother think it tastes like?"

Cui Bofang said: "The taste is extremely sweet, and the aftertaste is endless. ”

Bai Cheng then asked, "Does the eldest brother eat it in the winter, or in the summer?"

Cui Bofang said: "It was winter that day, and it is said that the snow cellar of the princely house in the capital can be eaten in summer, where can small people like us go to eat snow in summer?"

Bai Cheng said with a smile: "If there is slush for sale now, what does the eldest brother think of the sales?"

Cui Bofang said: "Eleven Lang is not joking, if there is slush for sale, it will naturally be crowded, but now that it is almost Qingming, how can there be snow to make slush?"

Bai Cheng said: "The younger brother has a way, and the eldest brother listens to it." ”

The so-called slush, in the previous life of Baicheng, there was an easy-to-understand name, called ice cream, most people thought that this thing was only available in modern times, in fact, in the Tang Dynasty, some people have found that saltpeter dissolved in water will absorb heat, so that it can make ice, plus some juice and milk, it is made of ice cream today, and it is not much different.

It's just that after Baicheng traveled to this life, he found that no one here would use saltpeter to make ice, and a few summers ago, when he was hungry, he went to the pharmacy to buy some saltpeter, and made ice cream by himself, plus rock sugar and milk, and already had the taste of some Nestle milk cake.

Bai Cheng told Cui Bofang about the production method one by one, and Cui Bofang was dumbfounded when he heard it, and asked, "Can this matter really work?"

Bai Cheng said: "Big brother try it, you will know, these five hundred taels of silver tickets are the capital of the eldest brother, and you and my brother will share the money if you make money." ”

Cui Bofang was suspicious, accepted the silver ticket, and prepared to go out to buy saltpeter.

Bai Cheng saw that he was in a hurry to go out, and casually joked: "The eldest brother is so anxious, but he wants to be a son-in-law, I don't know where your father-in-law went, be careful that his old man is secretly staring at the eldest brother, and he has to say that the eldest brother is unstable." ”

Cui Bofang said while going downstairs: "That's not it, it is said that the Xuanfu envoy of the imperial court will go to Hongni Pass to comfort the army in ten days, and General Zhou will invite my host to Hongni Pass to preside over the banquet dishes." ”

Bai Cheng was stunned, was the Xuanfu envoy of the Secret Dao Imperial Court also ten days later, how could it be the same time as the patrol envoy of Huang Tiandao?
