Seeing that Shen Qiaochen drank every drop of the medicine, Linglan immediately stuffed the small plate of preserved apricots into her arms, then took the medicine bowl and put it back on the table.

Shen Qiaochen picked up a preserved apricot and put it into his mouth. The sweet and sour taste instantly swept through his entire taste buds, gradually suppressing the bitter taste just now.

After the taste of cinnamon twig soup completely dissipated in her mouth, Shen Qiaochen took a sip of hot tea, and then ate a preserved apricot.

However, I found that after the sweet and sour taste of apricot preserves passed through my mouth, there was still a faint medicinal aroma.

Different from the bitter taste of cinnamon twig soup just now, this is an indescribable taste.

Even if Shen Qiao Shen's past and present lives were combined, he could be regarded as a doctor after a long illness, and he could more or less identify some basic medicinal materials.

But no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't fully identify the medicinal aroma in the apricot preserves.

"Lily of the Valley, where did you buy this preserved apricot? It tastes so unique." Shen Qiaochen asked.

Linglan looked at the preserved apricots in Shen Qiaochen's hand, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I made the fourth girl laugh, I made these preserved apricots myself."

Shen Qiaochen opened her eyes wide in surprise, but heard Linglan continue: "To tell you the truth, when I was young, I saw some medical books at home, and I casually browsed through them in my spare time. As time went by, I also thought about it myself. Come up with some recipes and make some snacks, snacks and the like."

Shen Qiaochen's eyes lit up and she quickly asked: "Is it sold in the store?"

Linglan looked confused and shook her head: "No, I just did it casually for fun. Dad never likes sweets, so on weekdays, only me and Baizhu eat it."

When Shen Qiao heard this, she raised the corner of her mouth and had some thoughts in her heart.

In the previous life, Zui Jiangyue was in the hands of Xiao Li. It was still the best restaurant in the capital and the favorite place for high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital.

As we all know, brothels and wine shops are the places where news circulates the most. If you master these two places, you can know everything about the dynamics of the powerful people in the capital.

Shen Qiaochen didn't know whether Xiao Li had Qin Lou and Chu Guan.

But she knew that the reason why Xiao Li was able to silently get most of the court to support him in his previous life was that he secretly mastered the ability to make those court officials support him when no one else knew about it. obey his evidence.

Shen Qiaochen also overheard that in Zui Jiangyue, Xiao Li even arranged for special people to record the news and information of the powerful people in various governments.

I have to say that this gave Shen Qiaochen a great inspiration.

What Xiao Li can do, Shen Qiaochen can naturally do as well.

Zuijiangyue must become the best restaurant in Beijing.

She wanted those dignitaries to come here willingly, so that she could get the news she wanted from them.

…

In her previous life, Shen Qiaochen only cared about chasing after Xiao Li and didn't know anything about other families or political affairs.

So in the end, she found that she could only be reduced to a chess piece and ended up with her body and her family destroyed.

If God opens her eyes and she has a chance to live again, she will definitely correct this mistake.

Only by keeping the current situation in her own hands can she protect the Shen family and the people she wants to protect.

This time, let her be the one to play chess.

…

On the other hand, Zui Jiangyue also brought huge wealth to Xiao Li in his previous life.

It was precisely with these steady incomes that Xiao Li was able to recruit troops and win over courtiers.

Now that the third prince suddenly lost power, Xiao Li no longer had a shield to put on his face.

If he doesn't want to expose his ambition prematurely, then he can only find another way.

If he loses the money tree that is Zui Jiangyue again, Xiao Li will definitely not be reconciled.

But so what, Zui Jiangyue is now hers, Shen Qiaochen.

With her here in this life, Xiao Li would never even think about reaching out to Zui Jiangyue again.

…………

What's more, Shen Qiaochen wanted to continue to be the drunken Jiangyue, and he had his own thoughts.

In addition to being able to obtain detailed intelligence sources, Zui Jiangyue is currently the only place in her hands that can bring financial benefits.

Although the Shen family has meritorious deeds from generation to generation, the Shen Mansion has never been a place that likes extravagance and extravagance.

Especially Shen Congyan, because he leads troops outside all year round, he does not have any of the gray income that is common among officials in Beijing.

The Shen family is also the family of Zhong Ming Ding Shi, and Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Lin are both from the same family.

The whole house is full of flesh and blood, and things like tampering with the accounts of the mansion are absolutely impossible to happen in the Shen family's big house.

Therefore, every income and expenditure of the Shen family's accounts is written clearly and clearly.

For a big family, this is extremely rare.

But in Shen Qiaochen's view, this is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The advantage is that it ranges from every reward from the court and the trophies brought back by Shen Congyan every year, to the small favors between various governments and the loss of income from his own shop and fields.

These will be recorded clearly.

It not only shows the integrity of the Shen family to the outside world, but also makes it easier to manage the accounts and the errands of managers at all levels internally.

But because of this, it is easier for people with different intentions to take advantage of the loopholes.

After all, the clearer the accounts are remembered, the better it will be for some people to understand the wealth of the Shen family.

The Shen Mansion now seems to be full of flowers and peaceful.

But no one can predict what will happen in the future.

If something unexpected happens suddenly, it will only take a moment for the building to collapse.

By then, the wealth accumulated by the Shen family for generations will be easily accessible to others because of the rules and regulations of this record.

Shen Qiaochen has already understood this deeply.

Therefore, she must leave a way out for the Shen family.

To prepare for future emergencies.

For Shen Qiaochen, having only Zui Jiangyue is certainly not enough.

Eggs can't just be put in the same basket, this is what she learned from Xiao Li.

But according to the current situation, she can only make Zui Jiangyue an unshakable presence in the capital before she can do anything else.

After all, if you have enough money around you, it can also become a kind of capital.

…

Although Zui Jiangyue's business is booming at the moment, it's mostly because of the changes in the business model that she and Ji Qingyuan came up with, which gave people new ideas.

But after all, this is not a long-term solution. If they make such changes, others will naturally follow suit.

As time goes by, it loses its freshness.

After all, Zuijiangyue is still a restaurant, and taste comes first.

The most important thing now is to work hard on the food and wine.

But after eating a lot of traditional meals, they are all pretty much the same.

If you want to make some achievements, you still have to find another way.

Since you want to do something, you have to do it the best and the most unique one.

…

Originally, Shen Qiaochen had been thinking about how to make a fuss about the dishes these days.

But just now she accidentally tasted the preserved apricots made by Lily of the Valley, which suddenly made her enlightened and gave her some new ideas.

Shen Qiao thought to herself that she must find an opportunity to discuss this with Mr. Ji today.

After all, the third prince suddenly fell down yesterday, and Xiao Li and others were caught off guard.

The opportunity must not be missed before it comes again. If we can't make a deal as soon as possible and wait for Xiao Li to calm down, based on Shen Qiaochen's understanding of him, I'm afraid Zui Jiangyue will become Xiao Li's first target.
