peasant young lady

Chapter 293
When Cheng Xia heard Shang Luo's question, she couldn't help shifting her eyes away from Dahua. She almost forgot what she had just asked Shang Luo, and after thinking about it for a while, she suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, I want to ask you. You are not interested in opening a restaurant with me."

Just as Shang Luo took a sip of tea, he nearly choked, coughed a few times before smiling and said, "Do you think I'm a businessman?"

Cheng Xia nodded seriously, "I think so."

"Then you really missed it." Shang Luo said dumbfounded.

Cheng Xia curled her lips, "Why are you so unconfident about yourself? You have the good genes of the shopkeeper and Aunt Han, so you must be good at doing business."

"Are you joking?" Shang Luo really didn't know whether Cheng Xia was really praising or sarcastic, "You still mentioned them, they were arguing to open a restaurant, and in the end they almost lost even the pharmacy. Seeing that Cheng Xia wanted to argue a few words, Shang Luo quickly waved his hand, "Don't mention the Medicinal Food Shop. The fact that the Medicinal Food Shop can be opened and opened so prosperously is because of your good idea. If you really let the two of them mess around, I promise Now they should drink the northwest wind in Chong'an County."

"Are you really your own son?" Cheng Xia was stunned, "Do you ever comment on your parents like that?"

"I'm telling the truth. I'm really not good at doing business. You don't need to look for me." Shang Luo knew his own situation very clearly.

Cheng Xia wanted to laugh when she heard what Shang Luo said, but she still insisted, "I want to open a restaurant with you, but you don't have to worry about everything in the restaurant, and you don't need to worry about the business, you just need to hang on the title of honor , Leave everything else to me, and I'll give you [-]% of the dividend, how about it?"

"Hey," Shang Luo couldn't help laughing, "Is there such a good thing in this world? Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Cheng Xia glared at him, "Why are you so smart?" You spoke so directly.

"The key is that the other party is you. You are so smart. If I can't keep up with you, I will easily suffer."

Cheng Xiaquan thought he was praising himself, "Well, I really need you to do something, just one point, oh no, two points, the first point is that you are responsible for protecting our restaurant."

Shang Luo nodded, and looked at Cheng Xia with admiration. He understood that when doing business in the capital, especially if you want to make the business bigger, it is easy to collapse without someone to rely on.Bao Buqi, one day the people who come to eat in the restaurant will be dignitaries or princely children, if they cause trouble sincerely, it will be very difficult for the restaurant to stay open.He was not surprised that Cheng Xia could think of this. In his mother's words, Cheng Xia's brain has always been good, and he can always think clearly about all possible problems before doing anything.

However, he was curious about one thing, "If you want to find a protective umbrella, isn't your husband more suitable than me?" It is just a lecturer from the Imperial Academy of the fourth rank, but it is not as powerful as Shaochen after all.

Cheng Xia waved his hand, "There's a saying, it's best not to do business with people close to you, the closer you are, the easier it is to turn against each other. If he finds something unpleasant here, he wants to give pointers, and if he feels uncomfortable there, he needs to correct it. I'd be crazy."

Seeing her exaggerated appearance, Shang Luo suddenly laughed, "Then you and Miss Yun are not close relatives?"

"We are different. She listens to me in everything, and there will be no differences between us." Cheng Xia said confidently.

"It's really yours, okay, I've accepted your request," Shang Luo smiled, "Is there anything else?"

Cheng Xia sat up straight in an instant, and said solemnly, "Didn't I just buy a manor? I need to build a greenhouse for fifteen acres of land in the manor, can you do it?"

"Is it a greenhouse that allows plants to grow normally in winter?" Shangluo asked suspiciously, "I just heard about it."

"That's what you said. I want to plant something in it." Cheng Xia originally wanted to do it by herself, but she didn't have so much time and energy. If Shang Luo knew this, let him tell him to get it done, so she could concentrate on it Study how to open a hot pot restaurant.

Shang Luo thought for a while, patted his chest and responded, "Leave this matter to me. When the time comes, you only need to give me the seeds you need to plant, and I will send someone to do it for you."

Cheng Xia patted the table happily, "You are so happy, I suddenly feel that the [-]% for you is a bit low."

"Well," Shang Luo nodded solemnly, "it's a bit low."

Saying that, the two looked at each other, and immediately laughed.Cheng Xia suddenly felt that Shangluo was very suitable to be a friend, and he was a very worry-free friend.

"What are you laughing at?" Dahua walked up to Cheng Xia, carefully fiddled with her clothes a few times, and then sat down.

Cheng Xia looked at Da Hua's makeup up close, and thought it was very seductive, "It's so beautiful."

Dahua smiled shyly, pointed to Weiyun behind her and said, "It's Miss Weiyun's handiness."

Weiyun looked at Cheng Xia carefully, and suddenly said, "Madam Shao, if you have time, you can let me try it, and I promise you will be much more beautiful than you are now."

Cheng Xia smiled instantly, "That's good, let's wait until lunch." Cheng Xia looked outside the door to look at the sky, "It's already lunch time, do you want to go out to eat, or what?"

Shang Luo thought for a while and said, "Miss Yun said what kind of hot pot restaurant you want to open, and Du Zhong also said that your hot pot is amazing. I don't know if I have this kind of food today. I can taste one or two."

"No problem," Cheng Xia promised readily, but suddenly found himself in trouble, "Eucommia ate spicy food last time, but the bean paste is not here, so I can only get some clear soup."

"It's all good," Shang Luo said, "As long as there is something to eat, it's just a matter of trying the dishes for the restaurant I participated in."

Cheng Xia shrugged, this Shangluo is quite able to adapt to his status.

Since there is no chili, Cheng Xia wants to make the bottom of the mushroom soup pot.Especially now that it is deep winter, it is inevitable that the body will be a little dry, so it is a good idea to use mushroom soup to dispel the cold and replenish the vitality.

But it takes at least three hours to boil the bottom of the mushroom soup pot, so they don't have to eat lunch at all, and they can eat dinner directly. After thinking about it, Cheng Xia decided to make a hot pot with clear soup pot bottom.

Anyway, the bottom of the clear soup is light and palatable, which is just suitable for their women's beauty.While frying the bottom of the clear soup, Cheng Xia also asked Eucommia to buy ginseng, angelica, medlar, jujube, licorice, astragalus, etc., and boiled the medicinal liquid to add to the original bottom of the pot, making the hot pot more medicinal. value used.

As for hot pot ingredients, beef, mutton, beef liver, hairy tripe, tofu, etc. are all available. Just during the preparation, the aroma has already made the girls salivate. Cheng Xia is full of confidence seeing everyone's eagerness up.

They had a great time eating a meal, and they didn't have enough ingredients to prepare, so they had to add another portion to make them satisfied.Du Zhong ate another round belly, and he kept stuffing it into his mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to make flowers in this plain and ordinary hot pot. This is no better than the chili pepper you made last time." Bad, delicious."

As long as it tastes good, Cheng Xia smiled with satisfaction. Since even a foodie like Eucommia is approved, Cheng Xia is more determined to open a hot pot restaurant.

After eating, Cheng Xia couldn't help sweating all over, took a bath and slept upstairs for a while, when he woke up, he opened the door and came out, and saw Weiyun standing on the railing on the second floor, not knowing where he was. Cheek thinking about something.

Du Zhong and Shang Luo had already left, and the girls were staying in their own rooms, so there was silence for a while.

Hearing the sound of opening the door, Wei Yun couldn't help but come back to her senses, and smiled at Cheng Xia, "Madam Shao is awake?"

"Call me Cheng Xia, Ma'am comes and Madam goes, it sounds awkward." Cheng Xia still doesn't like these false names.

Weiyun didn't say yes or no, just smiled, "It happens that I have time, do you want to put on makeup for you? Although you are stunning enough with light makeup now, I can't help but want to see what you look like with makeup on .”

"Okay," Cheng Xia said happily, who wouldn't want to make themselves more beautiful.

Following Weiyun to her room, it was the first time for Cheng Xia to come in, there was a very large harp standing beside the bed, Cheng Xia was immediately distracted.

"Can you play the harp?"

Wei Yun looked at Cheng Xia's eyelids, considering what kind of makeup to put on, and said with a smile, "This harp is left by my mother, I can only touch the fur."

Cheng Xia knew that she must be modest, but she still found a topic of interest to her, "I can feel it, your mother is a very talented woman."

Wei Yun smiled with satisfaction on her face, "To tell you the truth, my mother used to be a daughter of an official family, but after the family members committed crimes, the whole family was exiled to Yunnan, and then she fell down."

exile?Cheng Xia's eyebrows twitched, each dynasty in the exiled land is different, but the general is the same.There were three main places of exile in each dynasty, the vicinity of the Tianshan Mountains, the three eastern provinces, and Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan. The Ming Dynasty added Yunnan to the previous foundation, and Weiyun didn't lie to her.

"Then you?" Cheng Xia was curious, listening to Weiyun's meaning, when her grandfather's family was defeated, her mother was still a young lady, since they were all exiled in Yunnan, how did Weiyun get here?

Wei Yun smiled, "My mother was rescued on the way to exile, and then I was born."

"Oh," Cheng Xia understood that the person who saved her mother was her father, but seeing that Wei Yun didn't want to say anything, Cheng Xia didn't ask any more questions.

Cheng Xia changed the subject, "You and Eucommia?"

Wei Yun quickly waved his hands, "Mr. Du and I are really not what you think. Mr. Du's mother was my mother's best friend in the boudoir period. They often asked a painter to paint for them for two days. Mr. Du must have seen it later. So one time, Mr. Du accidentally saw my mother here, recognized her at a glance, and went back to tell Mrs. Du. Since then, Mrs. Du has often sent Du Zhong to visit us and clean up some things big trouble."

Mrs. Du's bodhisattva heart is really not covered, "Mrs. Du didn't want you and your mother to leave the brothel?"

Weiyun's face darkened a little, "My mother didn't want it, and Mrs. Du can't help it."

Cheng Xia didn't ask any more questions, just happened that Weiyun had finished her makeup, Cheng Xia was very satisfied, thanked Weiyun and left with Dahua.

It was not yet Shenshi when he returned to Shao's mansion, and Shao Chen hadn't come back with his value, so Cheng Xia planned to come up with a business plan for the hot pot restaurant, so as to open the hot pot restaurant as soon as possible.

As a result, as soon as he entered Shao's mansion, he saw the maid beside Wang Qingwan waiting on the way to Lengcuixuan, and when he saw Cheng Xia coming over, he said directly, "My young lady asked you to go there."
