With an exclamation, Yang Xuan quickly retracted his hands, and Guan Yunrong also took two steps back, cupping her heart with both hands and lowering her eyes, not even daring to look at Yang Xuan.
The scene suddenly felt awkward, and it took a while for Yang Xuan to find a topic: "Well, I opened a new hot pot restaurant. It's almost noon, let's go eat hot pot."
"Um."
Guan Yunrong nodded obediently. At this time, she felt that her ears were getting hot.
Guan Yunrong followed Yang Xuan all the way out of Hu Cake Shop, and even when getting on the carriage, Guan Yunrong did not hesitate at all.
You know, it is inconvenient for a man and a woman to live together in the same room, and a carriage carriage is such a small place.
The two of them were almost shoulder to shoulder. Yang Xuan could clearly smell the fragrance emanating from Guan Yunrong and said without saying anything else: "Where does your body smell so fragrant?"
When Guan Yunrong heard this, she was even more embarrassed. How could she discuss such a secret topic with a man? But facing Yang Xuan, she still said: "This is the sachet. It contains Atractylodes, Angelica dahurica and Cyperus rotundus."
, mint, citron, and the plum blossoms I picked a few days ago.”
How did Yang Xuan know these taboos? He nodded and said, "No wonder there is a medicinal smell in the fragrance. Why not just put plum blossoms?"
"If you only put plum blossoms in them, they will go bad in a few days."
"Then if we squeeze out the juice from the plum blossoms, can it be kept longer?"
Guan Yunrong was embarrassed for a while. People are already talking about such a secret topic with you. Are you really just talking about this sachet?
"Can you squeeze out juice from plum blossoms?" Guan Yunrong felt helpless.
"Rapeseed can squeeze out oil, so why can't plum blossoms?" Yang Xuan rubbed his chin: "You can give it a try. If you can squeeze out juice, you might be able to start a new business."
Guan Yunrong sighed, this is a guy who doesn't understand the style, they are all riding in the same car, and talking about such an intimate topic, he actually...
She couldn't allow her to think too much. The hotpot restaurant had already arrived. When shopkeeper Zhou saw Guan Yunrong getting off Yang Xuan's carriage, a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Oh my, Miss Guan is here, please come in quickly. It's so far away...
…”
After a series of polite greetings, everyone entered the hot pot restaurant. As soon as the hot pot was served, Guan Yunrong gradually recovered from her shyness.
Because of the holiday, shopkeeper Zhou personally prepared the hot pot, and Guan Yunrong's eyes lit up after eating it.
"As expected of Shopkeeper Zhou, you can prepare such delicious food with just a charcoal stove and a pot of soup."
Shopkeeper Zhou smiled narrowly and said: "This hot pot was invented by Mr. Yang. I just used my hands. Miss Guan wants to praise Mr. Yang, so she doesn't have to make such a big detour."
"Shopkeeper Zhou, why are you making fun of me?"
Guan Yunrong lowered her head shyly.
"Don't tell me, just don't tell me." Shopkeeper Zhou changed the subject: "I heard that there are already several restaurants in the city that have also launched hot pot. Although it is not as spicy as our hot pot, it is still quite flavorful. It seems that
We’re going to have a few more competitors.”
Yang Xuan took a sip of wine and said: "It doesn't matter. I have already said that we need win-win cooperation. If you have money, everyone can make it. After all, you can't make all the money."
"Oh? What do you think Mr. Yang has to say?"
"Join." Yang Xuan said: "After the Chinese New Year, we will visit restaurants that have launched hot pot. As long as they agree, we can provide the hot pot base."
"Good idea." Shopkeeper Zhou's eyes lit up.
Just when they were chatting happily, Prince Chun came down.
"It's Chinese New Year, and you guys are hiding here and running a small stove, making it easy for me to find you. Oh, isn't this Miss Guan?"
Guan Yunrong stood up to greet him, and after a polite conversation, he sat down. His Highness Prince Chun said, "Good news. It has been decided that your brother will join the Yulin Guard, and he will be able to take up his duties after the new year."
Yang Xuan quickly toasted with a glass of wine: "Thank you so much, Brother Lu, for working on this matter on the New Year's Day."
"This has nothing to do with me. It was all handled by Prince Hui. It was just a matter of saying hello." His Royal Highness Prince Chun drank the wine in his glass and said, "Also, I am leaving after the Lantern Festival. The first stop is
It’s Youzhou.”
Guan Yunrong first raised her glass: "Then I wish Mr. Lu a smooth journey and immediate success."
Shopkeeper Zhou also raised a glass of congratulations.
Yang Xuan frowned and pondered for a while: "Leave early and come back early. I guess the days should be about the same. When you set off, I will give you a big gift."
"Oh? I'm looking forward to this great gift from sir."
"But there's chaos over there in Youzhou, so Brother Lu should pay more attention."
"Don't worry, the imperial court will appoint a hundred Yulin Guards to accompany them. Which thief without eyes would dare to take action against the Yulin Guards."
While talking and laughing, the four major shareholders who had a very interesting relationship gathered together and planned their goals for the new year.
In fact, after all is said and done, there is still one thing that cannot be avoided, that is, Yang Xuan plans to open branches with extremely delicious food throughout Dasheng Dynasty.
But one of the most serious problems is freight.
The transportation of materials occupies a huge cost and is also time-consuming and labor-intensive.
There was originally a simple way to produce the secret recipe materials on-site, but in this way, the chance of the secret recipe being leaked would greatly increase.
Not only Yang Xuan, but also the other three shareholders did not agree with this approach.
So after all is said and done, we have to work on horse-drawn carriages in the end. As long as the research on four-wheeled horse-drawn carriages is successful, the transportation speed will be greatly accelerated.
After dinner, Yang Xuan first sent Guan Yunrong to Hexiangji. After being glared at by the old concierge several times, he returned to his eldest brother Yang Xiao's house.
After telling Yang Xiao the good news, Yang Xiao was also overjoyed.
At the beginning, his goal was just to be a head catcher. Unexpectedly, he suddenly became the banner of the Habayashi Guards. It is not an exaggeration to say that he will honor his ancestors.
Immediately, he burned incense in front of his parents' memorial tablets to announce the good news.
"Father, mother, you don't have to worry. Now your two sons have become successful. Xuan'er is now a guest in the prince's palace. The prince thinks highly of him. I have also become an official. I am the seventh-grade official.
, I can still manage fifty people under my command, which is much more glorious than arresting a head. Originally, dad asked me to take care of my brother, but in the end I became a brother taking care of his eldest brother. I am really ashamed of myself..."
That night, Yang Xiao was very drunk.
The pressure he originally faced was all resolved by Yang Xuan, and now he can be considered to have a happy family and a smooth career.
The next day, the second day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Xuan went to Qingliangshan Racecourse early in the morning.
I have said that I will give His Highness Prince Chun a big gift, and I must keep my word. His big gift is actually a carriage for him to travel.
The previous carriages made of bamboo were a bit ugly, too light and easy to roll over, and the bamboo was not strong enough, so Yang Xuan and the craftsmen studied how to solve these two problems.
I came here today to see how these two problems are solved.
