Chapter 448: An incomprehensible layout
Chapter 448 An incomprehensible layout
Concubine Yue Gui was also surprised by Wu Enrong's words, she never thought that he had just arrived in Luyan Port, and knew more about the Zhao family than she knew.
While he was in astonishment, Wu Enrong's endless complaints rang loudly in his ears again:
"Brother-in-law is a gentry and the richest man in the country. Even many dignitaries in Jingling City would bow down and make friends with you. Although they live in a lowly family of merchants, they are also highly respected people. Now they are willing to degenerate and are willing to be accepted by you." Driven by a village woman, it is really laughable and generous, and it is an insult to the dignity of the merchant leader."
"The prefect is too serious."
Concubine Yue Guifei couldn't listen to Wu Enrong's ruthless words.
How can this pair of Uncle Lang be so incompatible when they meet now?
She really couldn't figure it out.
But Zhao Guangyuan is her confidant after all, she can't just sit and watch being pushed out by Wu Enrong.
At this time, we still have to try our best to stabilize the old man.
After thinking about it for a while, she thought about it and said: "Prefect Wu probably underestimated Princess Pingning, she is not an ordinary village woman, she has something special to be respected by the old man, and what's more... What the old man said is reasonable, now that King Pingning is in charge of Pingning Prefecture, we should bow our heads when we should, why bother to hurt our peace because of such an unappreciated family like the Qi family."
After a pause, she looked at Zhao Guangyuan with a smile again: "I agree with the old grandpa's way of retreating to advance. As for the Qi family, they have indeed done a lot of evil things over the years. The lord and the old mistress have a lot of favors, but the law is merciless, and those who should be punished must be punished."
As he spoke, he glanced at the wooden box in front of him again, and said lightly: "I am ashamed to accept the Beijing Zhongtian property shop entrusted by the grandpa."
Afraid that the uncle and uncle would quarrel again, she hurriedly signaled to the palace servants beside her: "This palace has brought a lot of jade wine from the palace for the old grandpa, and the prefect and brother-in-law Ling have not seen each other for many years, right? Let's not talk about other things, just sit down and have a good drink and talk."
Concubine Yue Gui opened her mouth, and Zhao Guangyuan and Wu Enrong didn't dare to argue any more, they put on a superficial amicability and bowed their hands to each other, which was regarded as agreeing to Concubine Yue Gui's proposal.
After that, Zhao Guangyuan ordered the family to prepare a family banquet.
After the banquet was ready to start, the hall returned to a lifeless situation. Concubine Yue saw that Zhao Guangyuan was deliberately alienating herself. It seemed that she was going to break her promise to the old mistress Zheng of the Qi family yesterday.
I don't know what method the woman of the Chu family used to make the old fox willing to be driven by her.
I am a respected imperial concubine anyway, why not as good as a village woman?
This banquet ended in unhappiness.
Concubine Yue Gui led the palace people and Wu Enrong out of the Zhao Mansion resentfully.
Looking at Wu Enrong who was still depressed, Concubine Yue Gui laughed and joked: "Why should the prefect be angry with a woman who has passed away for many years, and the old grandpa is now lonely and helpless. It is only natural to want to find a caring person."
"The concubine taught me a lesson very well."
Wu Enrong just smiled indifferently: "I have heard about this Princess Pingning for a long time, but I want to see her face."
Since the tax case, the woman's reputation has spread throughout the states.
I originally wanted to make friends and call her to the county to be a judge, but this woman was so ungrateful that she refused directly.
Now that I have come to Luyan Port, if I don’t go to see this woman’s three heads and six arms, I’m afraid it will be a waste of my trip.
Concubine Yue Gui saw that Wu Enrong was very jealous of the Chu family woman, presumably because of his dead sister.
It's understandable, the eldest sister died for giving birth to the Zhao family, and the only blood left was murdered by the old grandpa's heir.
Now that Xiao Langjun has just passed away, the old man is looking for another new love, which is unbearable for anyone.
Looking at Wu Enrong with a deep smile, Concubine Yue raised the corners of her lips slightly, and walked slowly towards the carriage: "Just in time, it has been a few days since the most filial uncle of King Ping Ning passed away, I should go to worship , why don’t the prefect go there with me.”
"My minister complies."
After Wu Enrong finished answering, he and Concubine Yue got into their respective carriages, and drove towards Chongrenfang in the west of the city.
Chu Nanzhi was busy with Qinghe Fang, and took Sang Kun and Sang Qi brothers and sisters to check the preparations in various parts of the restaurant.
Now except for the fresh vegetables, the rest of the dry goods, drinks and the like have all been prepared.
With a good mother like Liu Yun helping to take care of everything, and with the help of Li Ce's wife, Sang Kun and housekeeper Zhao, she doesn't need to worry too much about everything.
As long as the things she ordered are basically completed smoothly.
Chu Nanzhi is very satisfied with the supply channels of various dishes and the training of service personnel.
According to the model of a modern restaurant, she specially asked an artist to draw the pattern of the dishes and made a recipe for the convenience of diners to order.
As for the reward activities after the opening of the restaurant, she plans to link up with the construction of the mansion in Jushengfang, and launch a series of snacks to be sent to Jushengfang for the passers-by who went to throw stones to fill the pit, so as to build up the reputation of the restaurant .
After checking the layout of Qinghefang, I went to Jushengfang to check it again.
Two days have passed, and most of the garbage in the workshop has been cleaned up.
What I told Sang Qi before, let her plant small flags in the sunken potholes, and the leased merchants came to set up roadside stalls, and there was an imminent need to prepare.
She pointed to several spacious places near the courtyard wall of Qinghefang and told Sang Kun:
"Starting tomorrow, you will let the artisans of the Zhao family build simple sheds everywhere, and then go to the city to attract the best snack shops to these shops at high prices, and let them set up a branch here, one Within a month, each store will give them the same reward and support as the total price of the snacks delivered on that day."
"Ah, master, it's fine for those merchants to come in rent-free, but instead give them high wages, and the snacks they give to passers-by are paid by the master. If you want to reward and support these merchants, then Wouldn't it be a lot of money to spend in vain?"
Sang Qi was very worried.
She has never seen such a business, how much money will be wasted in this month.
"You don't have to worry about this, just follow my orders immediately."
Chu Nanzhi replied without thinking.
My own investment strategy told them that even the siblings would not be able to understand.
Although a lot of money is needed right now, when Qinghefang and Jushengfang become prosperous, they will be able to attract a lot of traffic. At that time, not to mention these invited merchants, who do you want to rent the rest of the shops to? I don't have to look at my mood anymore.
She is not afraid that the money will not be recovered.
Although Sang Kun can't see through the master's mind now, her layout has always had her own reason.
He doesn't need to ask too much, he just needs to put things in place according to her instructions.
Taking ten thousand steps back, the money was taken out of her hands anyway, and as long as I did my best, I wouldn't take any risks.
So I kept everything in mind one by one, and then accompanied her back to Qinghefang.
Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Nanzhi asked Sang Qi to call Liu Yun, mother and daughter, and the group got into the carriage and drove back home slowly.
Happy fairies, happy holidays!
Not to mention, I'm going to lick a lollipop that costs 50 cents a piece. Don't be too envious, the life of the rich is so high-profile.
