Si Jinxing knew that they were tired from the journey, so after accompanying them to eat a nourishing mushroom soup hotpot, she found an excuse to leave the Lan Mansion and let them have a good rest.
Her carriage was packed full at some point.
It seems that some of them are specialties brought from the north, while others were purchased by the housekeeper recently.
Since Si Jinxing came to Longyin, she has never felt the warmth of family affection.
No, it's not just Long Yin. After her grandparents passed away in her previous life, she no longer felt what family and kinship were.
While it was still early, only two o'clock in the afternoon, she asked Bai Xi to turn the carriage around and head straight for Longxing Street.
When she arrived, the restaurant was still packed with guests.
Fang Si stood behind the counter, smiling as he collected cash, handed out membership cards, and recorded the amount of money spent...
Pei Qingzhu was on the second-floor corridor, inspecting every corner and every seat, checking the dining situation, and occasionally chatting with the diners: Are you used to the food? How does it taste?
The restaurant was full of waiters, all wearing masks, taking orders, serving dishes, adding soup, and toppings...
All the guests enjoyed the meal very much, and many of them asked how much the ice jelly cost so that they could take some home for their wives or children.
Pei Qingzhu took the opportunity to advertise the dessert tea restaurant that will open next week.
"Our new store is under preparation and is expected to open within a week. When the time comes, you can enjoy discounts by going to that store with your Yaxu Lao membership card.
This means that if you go there with a silver card that offers a 10% discount, you can also get a 10% discount there. If you go there with a gold card that offers a 20% discount, you can also get a 20% discount there.
In the future, our boss will open other stores and the discounts will be the same!
In addition, the points spent at all stores can be accumulated.
Our boss said this is called a one-card pass, giving all our valued members the greatest discounts and benefits!"
He paused, looked around at everyone, and naturally saw Si Jinxing downstairs. With a smile on his face, he continued:
“The owner has two huge discounts for today’s opening.
The first one is to recharge 500 to apply for a silver card, and get 50 taels of silver for free, so you will have 550 taels in the card.
The second one is to recharge one thousand to apply for a gold card and get one hundred and twenty taels of silver for free, so there will be one thousand one hundred and twenty taels in the card!
You can pay as you go, and you don’t need to carry money with you when you go out. You can come to our restaurant to eat!
However, in order to better serve our valued members, there are only fifteen spots available each month."
The guests were already very satisfied with the novel food in this restaurant. If they came here frequently, it would definitely be more appropriate to apply for a membership card.
So, in just a short while, more than a dozen people went to recharge their silver cards with 500 taels, and a few people went to apply for gold cards with 1,000 taels.
One thousand taels is half a year's salary for a first-rank official like Si Junshan.
It goes without saying that those who can spend money in Longxing Street are all rich people who spend money like water!
Si Jinxing was very satisfied with the business in the store.
She couldn't help but click her tongue. Qi Nanye was truly extraordinary. He just gave away such a good shop like that!
Shopkeeper Fang Si looked at the account book in his hand and glanced at the dozens of silver bills he had just collected in the drawer. He always felt that something was not quite real.
He has been a shopkeeper in Longxing Street for many years, and he has never heard of anyone who can double the cost of decorating a store on the first day of opening!
He admired the young boss's ability so much that he was completely convinced and worshipped him.
Si Jinxing walked towards a private room on the second floor. She had good hearing and had heard Qi Nanling's voice a long time ago.
That girl hasn't left yet?
She pushed the door open and walked in. At a glance, she saw that in addition to He Zhaoyue and Lei Qianyin, there were also the Crown Princess and Princess Heng!
Qi Nanling was taking a few girls to eat mutton slices and enjoying it with relish.
The key point is that she ordered the red oil hot pot without knowing the consequences. The girls ate it so heartily that they sweated profusely!
Si Jinxing hurriedly asked the waiter to replace the hot pot in the room and brought in some iced sour plum soup.
Princess Du Anlan was a gentle and dignified person. When she saw Si Jinxing coming in, she felt a little embarrassed. She quickly wiped her mouth with a tissue and said,
"Auntie Huang, you are here."
Princess Heng, Chen Luochu and Si Jinxing had met several times before, so they greeted her warmly, saying, "Auntie, come quickly, let's eat together!"
As a new mother, she exudes a maternal glow, and her skin is white with a hint of pink, which is really beautiful.
Si Jinxing had just finished eating at Lan's house and didn't dare to eat anymore. She just found a stool and sat down, asking them to continue eating.
The girls were eating and chatting, and they talked about Ye Wan'er.
"I saw her on the street the other day, and she ignored me." Lei Qianyin rolled her eyes, picked up another piece of mutton with her chopsticks, and said:
"I was originally thinking that on her wedding day, I would bring some jewelry to complement her makeup. This is a good idea, and it saves me a lot of money."
Si Jinxing then remembered that in a few days, it would be Ye Wan'er and Qi Nanche's wedding day.
She has been busy with Jirentang and Yaxu Lao recently, and no one has asked about her.
He Zhaoyue, always calm and composed, echoed this, "We used to be good sisters, but I don't know when I offended her."
Du Anlan was not very familiar with Ye Wan'er, but he knew that many men in the capital admired her. He also witnessed what happened on the Mid-Autumn Festival night with his own eyes, so he could not help but look at her with a bit of contempt. He said:
"Perhaps it would be better to have less contact with people like that."
Si Jinxing raised his eyes and glanced at her. Du Anlan was the Crown Princess. If nothing unexpected happened, she would be the Queen in the future. Naturally, there were already several concubines and ladies-in-waiting in the East Palace at this time.
She probably couldn't stand a woman like Ye Wan'er, who had so many men falling for her, right?
Qi Nanling took a sip of sour plum soup and waved his hand:
"Forget it, forget it, let's just treat the past relationship as a thing of the past. I'm happy today and won't mention her.
We haven't even congratulated Ah Xing on the opening of Yaxu Lao yet! Come, let's have a drink together!"
"Auntie, it's fine that you have good medical skills, but how come you can also do business?" Chen Luochu finally finished his meal and asked with admiration:
"Well, I also want to ask, what delicious food is there at the restaurant where Aunt Huang is going?"
"The next store is the one that girls like more. It will be kept secret for now, haha." Si Jinxing said with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard someone arguing downstairs, followed by the sound of dishes falling to the ground.
Hearing the voice, several people in the private room looked at each other.
The boy outside the door also walked in quickly at this time and said:
"Boss, please go check it out! Someone on the first floor said there's something wrong with our ingredients and someone died from eating them!"
When Si Jinxing heard this, his eyes turned cold and he stood up and walked out of the room.
