Chapter 216 Ignore
Ji Zhisui thought that he could add a lot of things to his own small treasury this time.
Ji Baozhu, who was hiding nearby and eavesdropping, also heard Pei Yian's words about the engagement. Ji Baozhu felt that the matter had become mysterious.
Watching the two of them walking away hand in hand, especially Pei Yian with a smile on his face and his eyes full of clarity, all of which he directed at his half-sister, she felt jealous for some reason.
She and Pei Yian were somewhat acquainted. He was always taciturn and serious, and he would remain calm even in the face of a catastrophe. At that time, she even wondered if men really had emotions?
But now she had seen it all, he would smile, and also look affectionate...
This man was clearly... clearly her fiancé from the beginning! She only now felt as if something of hers had been taken away from her.
Lord Ji noticed Ji Baozhu and watched the couple leave with a dazed look in his eyes, making his already sullen face even uglier.
"Ji Baozhu, I'm warning you, don't have any inappropriate thoughts!"
It would be bad enough if a concubine's daughter did something bad, but if a legitimate daughter was involved, Lord Ji would probably want to vomit blood.
Looking at his daughter who had agreed to his request, Lord Ji's eyes were filled with worry. Baozhu was not someone who would stay content with what she had to do, so he had to confine her to house arrest for a while.
Don't let one mess be solved only to have another one pop up.
It's really frustrating. I am Pei Yian's father-in-law, but the other party's attitude is as if I am his subordinate.
But Lord Ji couldn't resist, because everyone knew that the Duke of Zhenguo was a favorite of the new emperor.
Baozhu is not young anymore, so the marriage naturally cannot be delayed any further.
He knew that his daughter was ambitious and had been satisfied with the marriage proposal from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion at first, but then that incident happened, and Baozhu was close to the Fourth Prince at that time.
One was a young prince about to be exiled, the other a prince who might ascend to a high position. Even a fool could tell which one they would choose. He was also happy to see it happen.
But who would have thought that things are unpredictable. In the end, the Pei family was vindicated and the sixth prince became the new emperor.
As for letting Baozhu enter the palace, it might not be appropriate. Baozhu was close to the Fourth Prince before, and their Marquis Weiyuan was once a supporter of the Fourth Prince, which undoubtedly blocked this path.
He is now behaving like a coward and dares not cause any trouble.
With the indenture, Ji Zhisui took Nanny Luo out of the Marquis's Mansion and took her to the Duke's Mansion.
Ji Zhisui originally wanted to let Nanny Luo enjoy her retirement, but she was a restless person and had to do some work to feel at ease. So Ji Zhisui asked someone to come to Baiwei Restaurant to help.
After these days of hard work, Ji Zhisui’s Baiwei Restaurant is now open!
The restaurant had no roots in the capital, so in order to attract customers after its opening, she offered discounts, and customers could also get small gifts when they shopped in the store.
This operation grasped the psychology of many people, and Baiwei Restaurant soon became crowded with people.
Some people looked at the restaurant and couldn't help but talk to their friends around them.
"Last year when I was doing business, I passed by a small county. There was a restaurant with discounted prices and the food there was delicious." Speaking of this, he still feels a little nostalgic!
"What good food can there be in restaurants in small places? You are exaggerating." The friends around him did not believe it. When it comes to delicious food, Beijing has the most.
There are food from almost every place. It’s just a small restaurant, so it’s not that exaggerated.
Although Baiwei Restaurant is well-known in the Lingnan region, it is still some distance away from the capital.
"I'm not lying. If you eat it, you'll fall in love with it." The man retorted unconvinced.
"Okay, okay, then let's go see what this new store has to offer." The partner had no intention of continuing to argue with his friend.
But when they entered, the man looked at the menu with a slight distraction. Many of the dishes on it were ones he had eaten at Baiwei Restaurant.
This made him feel a little doubtful. Was this really just a coincidence?
The companion was shocked when he saw his friend ordered a whole table of dishes at once. He quickly stopped him and said, "Hey man, there are only two of us. We really can't eat that much."
"It's okay! I can do it!" He had to try all these things today.
Seeing his friend so determined, his friend was helpless. When those delicious dishes were placed on the table, he was truly amazed.
It tasted so good that the two of them could probably finish it.
The person who ordered the dish was obviously more excited. Yes! This is the taste!
This was the taste he had at Baiwei Restaurant at that time. He didn't expect that the other party would open a store in Beijing.
How wonderful! He can come here often in the future!
After Pei Liu and others learned that his wife had opened a restaurant in the capital, they all actively went to the restaurant for dinner.
They were curious in the first place, especially after seeing Pei Liu and Pei Twelve come back. They found that the two of them had gained a lot of weight. They could guess with their fingers how comfortable they were living.
Now that the lady has opened a shop, how can they not go and support her?
The secret guards of the Pei family had a hearty meal in the box and felt extremely relaxed.
Today is the first day of the restaurant's opening. Ji Zhisui is going to help in the kitchen, but the Pei family is also worried and helps out in the front.
Especially Pei Yian, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked at the account book seriously, as if he was handling some important official business.
Who would have thought that the man in front of him who was looking at the account book carefully was actually the famous Duke of Zhenguo!
When calculating the income that night, Ji Zhisui was prepared for the fact that prices in the capital were higher, customer flow was more expensive, and the restaurant was also large, but when she actually saw the amount on the account book, she was still a little surprised.
According to the account book, Baiwei Restaurant's income today is two hundred taels of silver.
Even after deducting expenses and salaries for helpers, there would be at least more than one hundred taels of silver.
The income on this day was a world of difference compared to that of Qizhou County.
No wonder everyone likes to come to Beijing to do business!
At the rate of one hundred taels a day, how much would that be in a month?
Ji Zhisui naturally did not forget to share his joy with the Pei family, and everyone was smiling because of this.
This good mood lasted until bedtime. Ji Zhisui held the account book all night and was unwilling to let go, looking at the amount recorded on it from time to time.
If she continued like this, it would only take a few months to earn ten thousand taels of silver. She also owned several shops, one of which sold long-term storage ingredients such as sausages, and another one where she planned to make food that the girls there liked, such as milk tea and desserts.
