Chapter 124 The Emperor's Favored Concubine is Heartbroken (20)

After Shen Qingjiao took two steps forward, Huo Haochu immediately became extremely panicked.

He even turned his head slightly and looked away, not daring to look directly at the charming woman in front of him.

Shen Qingjiao burst out laughing. Huo Haochu looked embarrassed and it was obvious that he didn't want to communicate with her, but he had to obey because of the agreement.

She couldn't help but admire her own foresight and felt a little proud.

If she had not made an agreement with Huo Haochu yesterday, Huo Haochu would have already fled and would not have stopped to listen to her.

Looking at Huo Haochu's rosy and tempting ears, Shen Qingjiao couldn't hide the smile on her face and spoke slowly.

"I have something I would like to ask the general for help. Since this matter is serious, please come to Yongshou Palace so that I can discuss it with you in detail."

Listening to the gentle voice coming from his ears, Huo Haochu's heart became hotter.

But thinking of the agreement between them, he had nowhere to escape, so he had to resign himself to his fate and nodded, following the footsteps of the woman in front of him, and gritted his teeth as he stepped into Yongshou Palace.

Shen Qingjiao signaled Zhu Ling and Xiao Zhongzi to close the palace gates to prevent others from peeping.

When Huo Haochu entered the courtyard, the intoxicating aroma of food wafted into his nose.

He subconsciously looked for the source of the fragrance.

Soon he discovered that there was a table full of delicious dishes on the stone table not far away, and those dishes were his favorites!

Realizing this, Huo Haochu's heart trembled violently.

"General, please take a seat," Shen Qingjiao raised her hand and made a gesture of invitation, "General, there is no need to be so reserved. This time, I do have an important matter to ask of you."

Hearing this, Huo Haochu couldn't help but feel curious and looked at Shen Qingjiao intently.

Shen Qingjiao smiled slightly, "General, you can eat while listening, it won't delay anything, don't let the food get cold."

Huo Haochu then started to eat.

Shen Qingjiao called Zhu Ling and whispered a few instructions to her.

Then, Zhu Ling took out two small boxes and handed them to Shen Qingjiao. Shen Qingjiao opened one of the small boxes in front of Huo Haochu, and there was a stack of silver bills inside.

Huo Haochu didn't say anything, but just stared at her quietly, as if waiting for her explanation.

Shen Qingjiao smiled calmly, "I would like to ask the general for help to open a restaurant in a prosperous area of ​​the capital to sell wine and food. These banknotes are the capital needed to open the business."

Looking at the calm expression of the woman opposite him, Huo Haochu's voice was a little hoarse, "There are so many people in the palace, why did the queen only look for me?"

The corners of Shen Qingjiao's mouth curled up slightly, and her smile became more beautiful.

"Because the general manages his Yulin Army very well, with strict military discipline and appropriate rewards and punishments, it can be seen that the general has outstanding management skills, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Listening to the generous words of praise from the woman in front of him, Huo Haochu felt a sweet feeling in his heart.

It turned out that she had a pretty good impression of herself.

Before, he was worried that she would despise him for being just a military commander and vulgar.

Shen Qingjiao took out all the banknotes from the small box and handed them to Huo Haochu.

This was the operating fund she had asked for from Ye Junchen before entering the palace.

I don't feel bad at all when spending the money, even if the restaurant makes a loss.

Unexpectedly, Huo Haochu did not reach out to take the banknote.

He looked at Shen Qingjiao hesitantly, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he finally spoke.

"May I ask what is the purpose of running a restaurant, Your Majesty? In my humble opinion, Your Majesty has no worries about food and clothing in the palace, and is deeply loved by His Majesty, so there is really no need to worry about money."

Shen Qingjiao didn't expect that he would dig into the matter.

She opened the restaurant to earn enough money to facilitate her future plans and complete the system tasks. This matter must not be told to Huo Haochu.

After thinking for a while, Shen Qingjiao found an excuse, "I hope that everyone in the world can taste delicious food."

Huo Haochu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is it that simple?"

Facing the man's doubts, Shen Qingjiao smiled nonchalantly, "What else does the general think?"

Huo Haochu was stunned.

His man's intuition told him that Concubine Rou was not telling the truth.

He thought for a moment. No matter what Roupin's purpose was, running a restaurant was not a bad thing. He nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Shen Qingjiao smiled sweetly, her smile was like the pink peach blossoms quietly blooming on the branches, making people feel numb easily.

Huo Haochu's heart was beating rapidly.

He quickly looked away, trying to calm his surging emotions.

Then, Shen Qingjiao picked up another box.

After opening the lid, there is a plywood inside, divided into two compartments, each containing a thick stack of paper strips.

"The left side is the seasoning recipe, and the right side is the tips and precautions for cooking dishes. Among them, the most important is the seasoning recipe."

"Please rent a secret place, and arrange for a trusted person to prepare the seasoning. Send your trusted people to deliver the seasoning to the restaurant kitchen as needed."

Without waiting for Huo Haochu to ask, Shen Qingjiao took the initiative to explain the purpose of doing so.

"Even if the chef is poached by a fellow chef with a high salary in the future, I don't have to worry about others learning to make the special dishes of my restaurant."

Huo Haochu looked at Shen Qingjiao in surprise.

I didn't expect that a woman from the harem would have such foresight in running a restaurant. It's not an exaggeration to praise her as "far-sighted".

He couldn't help but feel a little more respect in his heart, and nodded slightly, saying, "I will follow your majesty's orders."

Shen Qingjiao asked Zhu Ling to bring a pen and paper. "I will not let the general make any effort for this. I will sign a cooperation contract with the general. If the restaurant has a surplus, 30% will go to the general. How do you do it?"

Huo Haochu refused without hesitation, "My Lady, 30% is too much."

Shen Qingjiao thought for a moment and said, "Then let's not talk about this for now. When the restaurant makes money, we can discuss the profit sharing?"

Huo Haochu nodded, "Okay. Also, may I ask what name your Majesty plans to give the restaurant?"

Shen Qingjiao pondered for a moment and said, "How about calling it Zuixianlou? It is said that even immortals would stop by here, so it is a place where immortal spirits come from the east and guests are everywhere."

As she spoke, she covered her mouth and laughed softly, her voice charming.

"I have even thought of a slogan for the waiter to attract customers. It is: Please come to Zuixianlou for dinner. Here we have delicious food that only gods can enjoy. You will definitely be satisfied!"

Staring straight at Shen Qingjiao's charming and sparkling eyes like a crescent moon, Huo Haochu was a little stunned. He was dazed for a moment, with his mind filled with the enchantress's every frown and smile.

Seeing Huo Haochu's unfocused eyes, Shen Qingjiao was a little amused and waved in front of him, trying to call back his attention, "Excuse me, General, are you listening to me?"

The delicate scent of peach blossoms lingered around his nose again. Huo Haochu finally realized his distraction. He lowered his eyes and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

Shen Qingjiao didn't care and reiterated that the restaurant was named "Zuixianlou", and then repeated the slogan that the waiter used to attract customers.

"I think it's very good."

Huo Haochu was convinced that he had underestimated Concubine Rou.

I thought she only knew some tricks to seduce men, but I never expected that she would have such insights in business.

With the man's recognition, Shen Qingjiao gained more confidence.

She handed the small box containing the recipes and banknotes to Huo Haochu and said, "General, please take care of this matter."

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. I will do my best." Huo Haochu said in a firm and decisive tone.

A gentleman will die for his friend. She recognizes his ability, so he should do his best and live up to her expectations.
