Pushing Yuan Jin deep under a locust tree, Yan Mingzhu let Liu Xiang watch while she went to the kitchen to get some snacks.
Before going, he gave Lin Sangzhi a look, and Lin Sangzhi immediately understood and followed.
"Second cousin's physical condition has improved a lot. Recently, you can accompany him to practice walking. However, each practice should not last more than half an hour. His injuries are not fully healed, so don't rush it."
While talking, they had already arrived in the kitchen. Yan Mingzhu took some pastries and said: "If second cousin's leg is to be completely cured, it will take ten square keel bones. I may not be here for a few days. If the second cousin's leg is completely cured, I will be gone."
When my cousin asks about it, just tell me that I am traveling far away and will be back soon."
Lin Sangzhi took the plate and looked into Yan Mingzhu's eyes, "Master, is there any danger? If there is danger in taking the Shifang Dragon Bone, I'd better leave it to my subordinates."
Although Lin Sangzhi reacts slowly, it is precisely because of her clear mind that she can see through people's hearts at a glance.
She sensed from Yan Mingzhu's words and deeds that what Yan Mingzhu was doing this time was dangerous, so she deliberately avoided Yuan Jinshen and called her to the kitchen to give her instructions.
Yan Mingzhu smiled and patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, I will come back safely. You just need to take good care of your second cousin."
"By the way, Master, there are two people wandering outside the drug store these days, but they have never come in once. Do you need your subordinates to deal with them?"
Lin Sangzhi's martial arts skills are extremely high. No matter how well the opponent hides himself, as long as he is breathing, he will be discovered by her.
Yan Mingzhu pondered for a moment, if he was someone with evil intentions, he would definitely come in to test the truth, but the two people outside had never come in, so they shouldn't be enemies.
Since they are not enemies, then why are these two people lingering in front of the drug store?
"If there is no hostility, you only need to drive people away without taking their lives."
Lin Sangzhi lowered his head slightly, "Yes, Master."
At noon, Yan Mingzhu stayed in the shop to eat and took out the kimchi she had brought.
"Second cousin, this jar of kimchi is hand-pickled by my second aunt. You can try it."
When Yuan Jin heard that the kimchi was made by his mother, he immediately took some and put it into his mouth, chewing in silence, but his eyes gradually began to turn red.
Yan Mingzhu tilted her head and asked him: "Second cousin, is it delicious?"
"It's very delicious. It's great that my mother is thinking about making kimchi, which means she was not crushed by the news of her father's death."
Although Yan Mingzhu always said that Mrs. Yuan and the others were doing well, Yuan Jinshen was still worried.
Today, after tasting the kimchi made by Mrs. Yuan Er himself, his anxious heart was temporarily at peace.
"Second aunt and the others have made it through, so second cousin, you have to take good care of your injuries and get well quickly so that you can help the Yuan family reverse the case, right?"
Yuan Jin looked deeply at Yan Mingzhu and smiled, "Don't worry, Zhuzhu, unless I die, I will never be defeated."
The bloody feud has not yet been avenged, and the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason has not been washed away. How could he willingly degenerate and let the chief culprits who harmed the Yuan family be satisfied?
After confirming that Yuan Jinshen was in good mental condition, Yan Mingzhu left after lunch.
She did not return to the Hou Mansion immediately, but went to Ruyi Zhai.
"Excuse me, is the shopkeeper of your shop here? I am from Ming Yuexuan on Dongjie Street. I came to discuss some matters with your shopkeeper."
As soon as the clerk heard about Ming Yuexuan, he immediately welcomed Yan Mingzhu in politely. After all, Ming Yuexuan's business has been booming recently, and who in the imperial capital doesn't know about it?
Soon, the shopkeeper of Ruyizhai came and said, "Young lady is from Ming Yuexuan? What's the important thing for us to come to Ruyizhai?"
"I want to come here to discuss cooperation with you. As the shopkeeper, you also know that Ming Yuexuan is a teahouse. When the guests listen to books in the building, they will order some snacks to satisfy their cravings.
I bought some snacks at Ruyizhai a few days ago and found that the taste was very good, so I was wondering if I could establish a long-term cooperation with your store."
The shopkeeper didn't answer immediately, but gave the waiter a look, and the waiter immediately stepped back with understanding.
"The girl said she wants to cooperate with our Ruyizhai, so what benefits will this cooperation bring to our shop?"
During the conversation, a woman came over with tea, made a cup of tea for Yan Mingzhu, and looked her up and down with her peripheral vision.
"The shopkeeper also knows that I am not responsible for it. Looking at this imperial capital now, if we talk about which tea house has the best business, it is definitely Ming Yuexuan. There is an endless stream of customers coming and going every day.
The demand for dim sum is naturally very high. If we can reach a cooperation, Ruyizhai's daily profit can at least quadruple. This is a sure-profit deal. What do you think of the shopkeeper?"
The shopkeeper glanced at the woman standing aside with his peripheral vision, and then said: "Since the girl has come to our Ruyizhai, she knows that the snacks in our shop are the best in the entire imperial capital.
Before you, many shops came to us and wanted to cooperate with us, but they were all rejected by us. The conditions you proposed, girl, are no different from those shops that were rejected by us, so I'm sorry..."
Before she finished speaking, Yan Mingzhu continued: "If I'm not wrong, those shops that are looking for cooperation just want Ruyizhai's dim sum, put their own labels on it, and then sell it, right?
But we, Ming Yuexuan, are different. If your restaurant is willing to cooperate, we will have a special space, label it with Ruyizhai, and among all the dim sum, Ruyizhai is the most recommended. Moreover, among the guests who come to our teahouse, there are many
A young official and a noble person."
Yan Mingzhu paused and said, "His Royal Highness King Dingbei once visited your restaurant and praised the storytelling in our teahouse for being very exciting. He also designated that only Ming Yuexuan can tell the story of the female general and the God of War Prince.
Moreover, people like Mr. Zhuang and the second son of the Ming family are regular customers of our teahouse. If they eat Ruyizhai's dim sum in the teahouse, they think it tastes very good. There are many mouths in this high-end mansion.
If they want to repurchase after eating, wouldn’t it be possible to promote Ruyizhai’s business?”
The shopkeeper was persuaded by Yan Mingzhu, because the conditions she mentioned were indeed better than others and were very beneficial to Ruyizhai.
But when he looked at the woman beside him, she slowly shook her head.
Although the shopkeeper was a little confused, he still looked apologetic and said, "Girl, I'm really sorry. Our Ruyizhai has no intention of cooperating with other shops at the moment. You'd better please come back."
"Does your store not want to cooperate with other stores, or is it simply unwilling to cooperate with Ming Yuexuan, Miss Lin?"
Miss Lin's voice instantly silenced the surrounding area.
Lin Huihui, who had been keeping her head down, slowly raised her head and no longer hid it, "How did Miss Yan San recognize me?"
