"What are you doing so nervous? Why? You can't be a couple, and you can't even make friends?" Wen Jianzhou jokingly, but his eyes were always observing Jiang Hexi's expression.
Jiang Hexi couldn't see his teasing at all and said angrily: "I'm afraid of embarrassment. I don't know how to get along with him now."
"What else can it be? Isn't it better to be the same as before? Just pretend that nothing has happened." Wen Jianzhou couldn't help but speak when he thought of Huo Jingchen's dull temperament.
"Well, I understand, let's go quickly." Jiang Hexi felt a strong gaze, nodded perfunctorily, and then pulled Li Lanhua, who had been silent, into the carriage.
Huo Jingchen stared at Wen Jianzhou who was walking over with a smile on his lips expressionlessly, opened his mouth, but still lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Wen Jianzhou, who grew up with him since childhood, suddenly saw his entanglement, sighed helplessly, and explained patiently: "It's okay, I'm just talking about some small things with Xi'er, let's go."
Huo Jingchen nodded silently, then turned his back on his horse and prepared to leave.
Li Lanhua in the carriage looked at Jiang Hexi with a silence, and tightened the handkerchief in her hand.
"If you have anything, just say it. You are not afraid of being so entangled." Jiang Hexi looked at her look that she obviously wanted to ask but didn't dare to speak, and smiled.
"Girl, does General Huo really have any thoughts on you?" Li Lanhua stammered for a long time before saying.
Hearing this, Chen Shuanzi, who was driving outside the carriage, couldn't help but prick his ears, looking at listening with a scrupulous look.
Only Jiang Hexi's faint voice sounded: "That's right, but that was the past. Now we are ordinary friends. You keep this matter tight and don't tell others."
"Especially you, Shuanzi, even Chen Gui is not allowed to say anything!" Jiang Hexi knocked on the carriage and warned.
Chen Shuanzi was shocked and hurriedly said: "Miss, don't worry, girl, I will definitely bring this into the coffin and no one will tell you!"
When Jiang Hexi heard this vow, he was angry and funny, but he didn't say anything, so he was accused of it.
After spending time with Jiang Hexi, Li Lanhua also understood her personality and changed the topic: "Girl, if the anger is getting colder today, should we speed up our knitting workshop and make more goods, so we can sell it in winter.
go out."
Jiang Hexi pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Wen and I have agreed to open a knitting workshop in Beijing. I originally thought I would recruit workers there directly, but I am not familiar with the place, so it is better to transport goods from Jingzhou first."
"Tell them and let them be mentally prepared. If time allows, they can process, but the quality must be guaranteed." Jiang Hexi woke up.
"Okay, then I'll tell them then." Li Lanhua responded obediently.
"Also, the family members of the winery workers will come in a while, and some people may also work in the knitting workshop. You can prepare it first."
"You don't need to take everyone in. You must choose good character. It doesn't matter if you are stupid. You don't have to be embarrassed to reject them for my sake. You are the shopkeeper, so you have to pick up the style of the shopkeeper."
Li Lanhua focused her attention and earnestly promised: "Miss, don't worry, girl, I won't be bullied anymore. Besides, Sister Lotus is there, and no one in the knitting workshop dares to bully me."
Jiang Hexi touched Li Lanhua's head lovingly and said with a smile: "That's good, Lanhua is becoming more and more stable now, and she really looks like a shopkeeper."
"That's not, girl, you don't know. Sister Lanhua will order me now. Brother Tieniu is not here. Sister Lanhua will let me run errands if you have anything to do." Chen Shuanzi outside the carriage took the opportunity to complain, unable to help but curl his lips.
"That's because your sister Lanhua wants to exercise you. You are so young and can't do anything at the winery. Now you run more errands, maybe you'll do better than what you Tieniu Brother in the future." Jiang Hexi smoothed out.
Chen Shuanzi scratched his head embarrassedly and said dryly: "I know Sister Lanhua is for my own good. Brother Gui said that too. I didn't blame Sister Lanhua."
"We know that Shuanzi is the most honest." Jiang Hexi blinked playfully at Li Lanhua, whose face was slightly red, and spoke in a special voice.
Hearing this, Chen Shuanzi smiled with his lips pursed and his eyes were bright.
After more than half an hour of travel, the group finally arrived at the new restaurant in the mansion.
Jiang Hexi jumped off the carriage without any hesitation, looked at the magnificent and grand new restaurant in front of him with a smile, and looked at the black nanmu plaque of "Chunjiang Restaurant" with a sharp dragon and a floating cloud above, and nodded with satisfaction.
.
Huo Jingchen, who was beside him, with embarrassment, retracted his hands that had just reached out, and opened his eyes as if he was calm.
"Okay, let's go in and take a look!" Wen Jianzhou couldn't see his depressed look, shook the goose bumps on his arm, and shouted deliberately.
Jiang Hexi didn't pay attention to this either. He nodded with a clever smile and strode in.
Li Lanhua blessed Huo Jingchen, lowered her head and did not dare to look at his expression. She followed her guiltily as if she had not seen the scene just now.
"Let's go." Huo Jingchen whispered in a low expression on his face.
Huo, Bai and Huo Jingyun looked at each other, and rarely spoke in tacit understanding.
"Look, is this new restaurant more majestic and more exquisite than Lingxian's?" Wen Jianzhou waved his hand like a pointing finger, raised his chin proudly, and looked at Jiang Hexi proudly.
Jiang Hexi looked around the exquisite and atmospheric restaurant carefully, nodded seriously, and said with a rare opportunity: "It is indeed much better than Ling County. Brother Jinghe is worthy of being a noble young man in the capital. This restaurant is so grand!"
As he said that, Jiang Hexi couldn't help but give Wen Jianzhou a thumbs up, his face full of admiration.
Upon hearing this, Wen Jianzhou became more and more proud. He waved his hand as if he was reserved, but said honestly: "Where is, this is what I should do, after all, I taste it better."
"Thank you for your hard work with Brother Jing." Seeing his increasingly proud look, Jiang Hexi said with gratitude.
Wen Jianzhou did not see her hypothesis, but instead the curve of the corners of her mouth gradually rose, and she even shook the fan with ease.
"How are the chefs in the restaurant ready?" Jiang Hexi whispered while visiting.
Wen Jianzhou put away his arrogant expression and said seriously: "Everything is ready. I have transferred Chef Fang and his apprentice from Ling County. There are also new disciples trained by other chefs. The chef is enough."
Jiang Hexi nodded and felt relieved.
"By the way, I'll take you to see my secret weapon!" Wen Jianzhou thought of something and looked at Jiang Hexi inexplicably and smiled.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hexi became interested and followed him up the second floor with some expectations.
"Wen San!" Wen Jianzhou shouted.
A entourage in green underneath immediately walked forward and pulled away the big red cloth that had been hanging in front of the lobby.
I saw a huge platform that was one person tall and exposed, and there was an exquisite screen standing beside the wall.
"This platform is equivalent to the stage in the small courtyard of Ling County. I brought it to the lobby. As soon as the door opened, it immediately attracted a large number of guests." Wen Jianzhou raised his eyebrows at Jiang Hexi.
, smiled and said.
Jiang Hexi looked at learning with a scrupulous and nodded.
Wen Jianzhou continued to speak, "I found that the private room upstairs is the most profitable. I don't set up a private room below. The lobby compartment in Lingxian is beautiful, but the number of guests is less."
"Now there are ordinary tables and chairs in the lobby, just like other restaurants, but there are many small tables on the edge of the second floor, which has the best view of watching the show. I plan to charge one or two more silver per table!"
Wen Jianzhou pointed at a row of tables and chairs and said with great enthusiasm.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hexi looked at him in surprise, but he didn't expect that he would even make money.
"Also, although I can't watch the plays on the second and third floors of the private room, I have trained a group of singers and dancers. As long as the guests need them, they can go directly to the private room to perform."
"Of course, the women in the restaurant are all selling their skills but not selling themselves, don't think too much!" Seeing Jiang Hexi's eyes wide open, Wen Jianzhou suddenly understood that she had misunderstood and explained immediately.
"But the price of this private room on the second and third floor is different. The second floor is only three taels of silver per private room, and the third floor is only five taels of silver per private room. The private room with a single size is naturally ten taels of silver per private room." Wen Jianzhou smiled and said,
Open the mouth.
Jiang Hexi couldn't help but pour cold water on his face and said, "Will anyone be willing to go to the private room if you collect so much money?"
"Of course there is! This Dasheng has now started a business journey with the Western Regions, and Beidi has signed a letter of surrender. Now Jingzhou has gathered a large number of big merchants. They have more money, so how can they care about these silver? I can't do it well.
Kill them a lot.”
"They are the most desirable masters. As long as they are well decorated, they have beautiful women and wine in front of them, and the money is not important."
Wen Jianzhou was very excited when he thought of the white money in the big businessman's pocket.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hexi nodded in a clear way and understood his intention.
"Also, my restaurant is very large, with several yards behind it, and some specially built houses behind it, which can be used for gatherings. If some dignitaries want to hold a banquet, I can rent it to them.
”
"I also dug a lotus pond, and the pavilion inside can be used to attract customers. The nearby viewing building is even more unique, with five floors, which is enough to make the group of local merchants from the Western Regions fascinated.
”
"You are still great!" Jiang Hexi was shocked. Unexpectedly, he turned the restaurant into a high-end club, which was really eye-opening.
Wen Jianzhou waved his hand politely and said reservedly: "It's thanks to Master Zheng. If it weren't for the careful design of him and a group of craftsmen, my restaurant wouldn't be so exquisite."
"But speaking of this, Master Zheng said that you gave him the cement recipe. How about it? You made a lot of money, right?" Wen Jianzhou patted Jiang Hexi's shoulder like a good friend, and whispered his eyes and tried.
