Chapter 125 Absurd Ideas
"I have someone here, just lead the way." Xiao Jiuyue curled her lips slightly, looked at Chu Ang and said, "Although it doesn't look like a formal escort agency, but in the future, we will go back to Lingnan several times a year. The journey will be arduous, so the money we earn will naturally not be less."
Chu Ang's eyes rolled, and he began to calculate in his mind that with his own pace, he could reach Lingnan in more than a month. If he was lucky, he could take a carriage and go to Lingnan in less than a month.
If you earn twenty taels of silver per trip and make three or five trips a year, wouldn't you be able to earn nearly one hundred taels of silver a year?
Oh my god, he has never seen so much silver in his life!
Chu Ang immediately stood up and bowed respectfully towards Xiao Jiuyue, saying, "Miss Xiao, if you don't mind, I'm willing to work for you!" Following the generous Miss Xiao is better than following the previous coach. At least he doesn't have to be schemed against by his companions!
He didn't want to marry the coach's daughter. She was so mean and he didn't want to be the one being punched in the face.
"Okay, you go back and have a good rest first. I'll come to see you when I have news later." Xiao Jiuyue asked people to send Qu Qingshu and Chu Ang away, and then he thought seriously about who should go with Chu Ang.
Chu Ang used to work for an escort agency and had seen the world. If she could be paired with a few people who were skilled in martial arts and who were brave and careful, would she be able to deliver things to Lingnan without any obstacles in the future?
Xiao Jiuyue took a sip of strong tea, which refreshed her mind. It seemed as if her mind had become clearer. She said, "Jin Wen, you should follow Chu Ang secretly for the next few days. Don't alarm him. Just see what he is doing."
The affairs of Lingnan concern the Xiao family, and she cannot be in any danger.
"Yes." Jin Wen responded and went out immediately.
"Let's go see Lianxin." Xiao Jiuyue went to see Lianxin on purpose. Lianxin was changing the dressing at the time. When she saw Xiao Jiuyue coming, she said, "Miss, changing the dressing doesn't look good."
"It's okay, take a look." Xiao Jiuyue was worried that Lianxin's leg would not recover well. After removing the bandage, he saw Lianxin's swollen and blue-black feet. Even without asking, Xiao Jiuyue could feel how much pain Lianxin must have been in at that time.
"Miss, it doesn't hurt at all now, it just looks scary." Lian Xin tried hard to smile, pretending that she didn't feel any pain at all, which made Xiao Jiuyue feel even more distressed. She said, "Alright, if it hurts, just tell me, and I won't laugh at you."
"That's right." Luo Kui squatted beside her and encouraged her, "Lianxin, when you're better, let's go practice piano together with the young lady!"
"Yeah." During the days that Lianxin was recuperating from her leg, she was looking forward to returning to serve Xiao Jiuyue.
"Oh, Miss." Lian Xin didn't dare to look at Mother Yu as she changed her dressing. She suddenly remembered He Lian and said, "Miss, Miss He Lian has been taking care of me these past few days. I discovered that she is particularly good at making tongcao flowers."
"The paper flowers she made are so beautiful!" Lianxin pointed to the pink velvet flowers in her hair and said, "Miss, look, this is what she made!"
Xiao Jiuyue looked over. The plum blossoms made of paper-cut flowers looked incredibly lifelike. She stepped forward, examined them carefully, and asked, "Did He Lian make this herself? How did you get the color?"
Tongcao flowers, the everlasting flowers on fingertips, she had only seen them in books before, and had never seen flowers made of Tongcao flowers with her own eyes.
"I saw her make it myself." Lian Xin touched the plum blossoms in her hair and said, "The color should be dyed like the fabric. Anyway, I saw that He Lian's hands are very skillful, and the flowers she made are really beautiful. There are many finished flowers in her room, and each one is beautiful!"
"Where is He Lian?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
Lianxin: "Something happened at the He family today, so He Lian went back. She should be back in the evening." These days, she couldn't walk, and it was thanks to He Lian that she stayed with her. Otherwise, she would have cried all by herself!
"Let her come to see me in the evening." After Xiao Jiuyue finished speaking, she told Lianxin to take good care of her injuries and went out. She deliberately went to take a look at the fields where the seedlings were planted. All the fields of the Xiao family were planted according to her method, with a more moderate spacing.
The villagers planted the seedlings more densely, as if they could all be squeezed together. Xiao Jiuyue's eyes sank slightly. When she harvested the yield this year, the villagers would probably rush to learn how to farm from her!
After the spring sowing was completed, the weather gradually became hotter, and Xiao Jiuyue went to Fengchunlou with a small bag of sea intestine rice noodles.
"Miss Xiao." Zeng Qing was particularly excited when he saw Xiao Jiuyue, "Miss Xiao, please go upstairs."
"It seems that Manager Zeng's business is good recently." Xiao Jiuyue looked around casually. It was not even dinner time yet, but Fengchunlou was already full.
"Thanks to Miss Xiao!" Zeng Qing smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. This time he saw his master, the Third Prince, with his own eyes and received praise from the Third Prince. Zeng Qing is now even more motivated!
He must make the Fengchun Restaurant in Hongdu a success, so that his master's efforts will not be in vain.
"I brought three dishes this time. Fengchunlou hasn't had any new dishes in a while. Even if the dishes are delicious, people will get tired of them." Xiao Jiuyue wrote down the cooking methods and cooking times for the three dishes in detail. She handed them over and asked, "How is the renovation of the restaurant in the capital city going?"
"Everything was renovated according to Miss Xiao's drawings, and the master is very satisfied." After Zeng finished speaking, Xiao Jiuyue asked perceptively, "Is your master from Hongdu Prefecture? No, if he was, you wouldn't have taken so long to question him."
"No, no, no, the master is not from the capital." Zeng Qing repeatedly shook his head in denial. He said, "The master happened to be passing by Hongdu and took a look. He was very satisfied. He also praised Miss Xiao and said that I am lucky to meet someone as smart as Miss Xiao."
"A shopkeeper who can help his master make money is a good shopkeeper." Xiao Jiuyue narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Zeng Qing and asked casually: "Did a third master come to the restaurant for dinner a few days ago?"
Third Master?
Zeng Qing subconsciously thought of the Third Prince. He asked uncertainly, "What's the surname of the Third Master that Miss Xiao mentioned? There are so many customers in the restaurant every day. I, I can't tell who the Third Master is!"
Xiao Jiuyue just felt that the thought in her mind was too absurd. How could she think that the Third Prince was the master of Manager Zeng?
His Highness the Third Prince is a prince, so how could he own a small restaurant in Lancang County?
"Indeed, Shopkeeper Zeng receives so many guests every day that he might not be able to tell them apart." Xiao Jiuyue chuckled and stated her purpose for today: "Today, add half a spoonful of this powder to every dish!"
"What is this?" Zeng Qing asked curiously, but he didn't have to hear a result, so he immediately asked someone to do it.
"By the way, have another stir-fried cabbage and add half a spoonful of this powder." Xiao Jiuyue reminded. When the four dishes came up, Zeng Qing saw that they were similar to the previous dishes, but with half a spoonful of powder added, and he didn't know what they tasted like.
Zeng Qing first tasted the stir-fried cabbage. As soon as he took a bite, he found that the cabbage stir-fried today was more fresh and sweet.
