"I heard that you invited the Xue family as partners and opened another Jinglanlou. It's a good idea and you have a good business sense."
"This capital is very big, so it's not impossible to open one more."
In an instant, Xie Xueqing understood what the Queen Mother meant.
She bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Her Majesty the Queen Mother. Xueqing knows and will definitely not let you down."
Seeing how smart she was, the Queen Mother ate the meat in the bowl in small bites and felt even more satisfied with her.
Yan Jin shook her head and looked at the two of them.
After thinking about it, he picked up a piece of lotus root slices and put it into the empress dowager's bowl.
"Eat this! Jin'er loves it."
The Queen Mother took a bite and her eyes lit up slightly.
Not bad, not bad. The dish that I thought was a bit hard before has now become extremely delicious.
It tastes soft and sticky, and has the fragrance of lotus root slices.
Xie Xueqing is indeed a clever person, and the food he makes is getting better and better. In the future, Jinglan Tower will surely be spread all over the world.
The Queen Mother ate extra much today.
When the hot pot was taken away, the Queen Mother felt a little bloated.
This was something she had never experienced before.
Yan Jin noticed that the Queen Mother was feeling a little uncomfortable, so she took the initiative to step forward and hold her hand.
She said in a baby voice, "Grandma Queen Mother, let's go for a walk in the Imperial Garden!"
"Jin'er has learned to recite ancient poems recently and wants to recite them to grandma."
Faced with Yan Jin's coquettish behavior, the Queen Mother naturally couldn't resist.
When I get older, I like children.
Especially well-behaved children like it even more.
The Queen Mother did not refuse and followed Yan Jin to the Imperial Garden.
During this period, Yan Jin would ask the Queen Mother about everything he saw.
An ordinary person would probably feel annoyed by Yan Jin's chattering baby voice, but the empress dowager didn't feel that at all.
She is old and lives alone.
Normally the Crown Prince and other princes were very serious and not close to her, so it was inevitable that they felt a little lonely.
Now Yan Jin's chattering questions just soothed the loneliness in her heart.
It filled the void and emotions that my grandson had felt before, when he was not close to me.
After finishing her tour of the Imperial Garden, the Queen Mother was surprised to find that she had walked a long way without realizing it. Not only that, the bloating she had just felt disappeared and she felt a lot more relaxed.
Looking down at Yan Jin, she found that the little girl was sweating profusely. Seeing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but pick her up and kiss her on the face.
He praised sincerely, "Your mother is smart, and so are you."
"Grandma just happened to have a set of extremely high-quality jade bracelets here, which would be perfect for you."
In the carriage.
After Yan Jin and Xie Xueqing were sent out of the palace, each of the mother and daughter was wearing a purple bracelet on their hands. Just by observing with the naked eye, one could tell that the bracelet was not an ordinary item.
Xie Xueqing looked at the bracelet on her hand, thinking back on everything that happened today, and felt as if everything was a dream.
The bracelet was bestowed personally by the Empress Dowager, which was extremely difficult to obtain.
After all, the last time the Queen Mother gave a reward was three years ago.
"You are truly a mother's treasure!"
Xie Xueqing couldn't help but pick up her daughter and kiss her again and again.
She must have done a lot of good things in her previous life to give birth to such an outstanding daughter in this life.
Faced with her mother's praise, Yan Jin's heart was filled with pride.
[That's right, she's my mother's baby! Not just a baby in the literal sense.]
A month later, Xie Xueqing had corrected all the areas where the hotpot needed improvement, and now the taste is perfect. Anyone who has eaten it can't help but applaud.
It is precisely because of this that everyone is looking forward to Xie Xueqing launching the hot pot as soon as possible.
Only in this way can they eat it every day.
Under everyone's urging, Xie Xueqing finally selected the date and chose to serve the new dishes on the day of the winter solstice.
She had already prepared the stove and other items and equipped every table in Jinglan Tower.
After she released the news, it instantly attracted most of the people in the capital.
Early morning of the winter solstice.
Xie Xueqing hasn't gone back yet.
In order to ensure that everyone can eat and drink well tomorrow, she stayed here overtime to prepare the food and watched everyone adjust the stove.
When everything was ready, Xie Xueqing's face was already full of fatigue.
During this period, she kept an eye on it every day, fearing that something might go wrong.
The servants of Jinglan Tower were both looking forward to and afraid of being tired, but when they thought of the bonuses they would receive after tomorrow's meeting, their hearts suddenly became excited.
Nothing is more important than money.
As long as they are paid enough money, they can hold out for three nights, let alone one.
In addition, Xie Xueqing was very generous to them on a daily basis, so they worked even harder.
Xie Xueqing packed up simply and planned to go back home to change clothes before coming over to greet the guests.
However, the moment she opened the door, she was stunned.
The streets that were supposed to be empty were now crowded with people.
All of them were looking at the door expectantly. When they saw Xie Xueqing coming out, they couldn't wait to ask, "Is the door open yet?"
"Can we go in and eat?"
"It's so cold outside, I can't even imagine how happy I would be if I could just have a bite of hot pot..."
By this time, the weather had turned cold.
Just by speaking, Xie Xueqing could see white mist coming out of his mouth.
Judging from the number of people queuing, some of them must have been waiting for a long time.
