Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

The Queen didn't want to listen to Concubine Shu at all.

There are so many things going on in the palace, she doesn't want to get involved in palace fighting, she just wants to handle the affairs of the harem.

When Concubine Shu said that the pearl given to her by the Emperor was as big as an egg, the Queen interrupted her.

"The Emperor loves me, so I should be happy. But I am busy with other things, so I will not go to enjoy the flowers with you. If you feel bored, you can ask other concubines to accompany you."

Concubine Shu: "..."

At this time, someone came quickly.

It was the nanny in the Queen's palace.

The nanny stood outside the garden, looking at the queen, hesitant to speak.

The Queen did not wait for Concubine Shu to speak and walked away.

Concubine Shu: "..."

*

"What's wrong?" the queen asked slowly.

The nanny raised her hand, and several palace maids immediately retreated, following the two of them from a distance.

The nanny looked around again and saw that there was no one else, so she spoke: "Today, someone in Beijing spread rumors about the milk tea shop, saying that the food there was not clean and that people died from eating it."

The queen's expression was stern, and she spoke in a hurry: "What's the situation now? Has anything happened? What are the people's reactions?"

The nanny had a strange expression on her face. "Now it has been resolved, and nothing has happened. But it was resolved by Concubine Shu."

The queen was stunned. "Shufei?"

The nanny organized her words: "The Concubine Shu bought something in the store yesterday, and was awarded a plaque today. The plaque arrived not long after the rumor appeared. The people thought that the Concubine Shu would eat good food, so the rumor was broken on its own."

Queen: “…”

This was the first time that Mammy had seen such a thing, so she didn’t know how to comment on it.

The Queen also felt mixed emotions and decided that next time the Concubine showed off, she would listen a little longer.

*

At this time, in the Imperial Garden, the phoenix eyes narrowed slightly in the direction where the Empress Shufei left.

The queen always acted like she didn't care about the emperor's rewards, but in her opinion, it was all fake.

Who in this palace does not desire the emperor's favor? The queen is old and ugly, and cannot get the emperor's favor, so she pretends that she doesn't care.

"Your Highness, Xiao Pingzi is back." The nanny beside Concubine Shu suddenly asked, "Should we ask him to come over and answer?"

Concubine Shu didn't even blink, "Let him come over."

After a while, a young eunuch came running over and saluted the concubine. The young eunuch said, "Your Majesty, the plaque has been granted. The people in the store are very grateful and immediately hung the plaque in the shop."

A smile spread across Concubine Shu's lips. "My reward is something they would love to have. Okay, you can go down now."

The eunuch agreed and bowed to leave the imperial garden. Before leaving, he suddenly thought of the rumor about the milk tea shop, but he had already left, and was afraid of making Concubine Shu angry if he went back and told her again, so he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

In the Imperial Garden, Concubine Shu admired the flowers for a while, and finally, she pursed her lips, "In a few days, arrange for someone to go to that store to buy some things. Remember to buy more of everything, especially the fried chicken that your majesty and Xiaojiu like to eat."

The nanny quickly responded.

outside the palace.

Because Concubine Shu bestowed the plaque, not only did the rumors disappear, but there were also more customers in the store than in the previous few days.

There was no place to sit in the lobby, and the several small private rooms on the second floor were all occupied, so the customers lined up outside the store.

Many ordinary people also came over and wanted to buy some to try.

In the kitchen of the milk tea shop, the guys wished they could grow eight arms and eight legs.

In the end, it was the shopkeeper who calmed them down.

"No matter how anxious you are, we won't be able to make our products if it's not ready in time. For example, if you fry the chicken before the time is right, do you dare to sell it? So don't be anxious, stay calm and take your time."

After hearing this, everyone finally calmed down.

The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and walked outside.

Although he had the plaque bestowed by Concubine Shu, money was a powerful force and the business in the store was so good. There would definitely be other people doing bad things in secret in the future. He had to be careful, especially at night.

same moment.

Jifu.

Ji Shuo ran a long way to find the people who helped him with his work, and now he was gasping for breath from exhaustion.

A maid came in from outside and offered a cup of tea, "Master, please have some tea."

Ji Shuo glanced at the pretty maid, took the tea and took a few gulps.

After catching his breath, he asked, "Where's the Madam?"

The maid said softly, "Madam has gone out to buy something."

Ji Shuo paused, then put down the teacup, reached out and pulled the maid into his arms.

"My wife is not here, how about you keep me company?"

The maid blushed with shame, and pushed Ji Shuo's chest in a half-hearted way, "What if Madam... Madam finds out..."

"So what if she finds out? No one in the Shangshu Mansion will make decisions for her. Don't think I don't know that you were sent by my mother-in-law to monitor her."

Unexpectedly, he knew everything. The maid gave up struggling and gave Ji Shuo a shy smile.

*

Outside the door, the former second lady of the Huang family, now Mrs. Ji, listened to the noise in the house and left with a blank expression.

She always knew that she was just a pawn.

Once upon a time, she accepted her fate.

But recently she changed her mind and felt that she could not accept her fate.

People like Ji Shuo will most likely be thrown into prison and beheaded in the future, and she doesn't want to die with him.

After looking at the things in her hand, Mrs. Ji left quietly.

*

On Li Yu's side, after she and Mr. Xiang left in a carriage, the carriage drove to an inconspicuous alley in the outer city.

While there was no one around, she jumped out of the car, separated from Mr. Xiang, and turned back to the hot pot restaurant.

The store doesn't need her at all now. The helpers are eager to work and Nanny Tian is reliable, so she can just let go.

So, after staying in the hot pot restaurant for half an hour, she turned to the barbecue restaurant.

Mrs. Yan manages the barbecue restaurant well and business is booming. Whenever customers want barbecue, they come to her.

In fact, five or six barbecue restaurants have opened in Beijing in the past few months, but none of them has affected her.

Because her dips and sauces taste first-rate and cater to the general public, imitators are not as authentic as hers.

*

In the afternoon, Li Yu received a letter from Mr. Xiang, who said that he had found out who spread the rumors.

Looking at Ji Shuo's name on the paper, Li Yu felt that he understood the reason.

She had heard about Ji Shuo's affairs recently. Since he got close to Minister Huang, he was very proud of himself.

This sudden opening of a milk tea shop should be to help Minister Huang.

Because Huang Shangshu owns a teahouse, tea and milk tea are competing products to some extent.

*

Li Yu burned the letter.

Since Minister Huang wants to open a milk tea shop, then we should give him a taste of his own medicine. Anyway, that tea house is an ordinary person's business to the outside world.

However, she doesn't need to take any action to deal with Minister Huang, the prince will make the arrangements.

Watching the paper turn into ashes, Li Yu clapped his hands and sat back behind the counter to rest.

The milk tea shop is on the right track, and next I will look at the private restaurant.

According to the progress Mr. Xiang mentioned, the private restaurant will be open by the end of the month.

I don’t know how the chefs of the several private restaurants remaining in Beijing are doing.
