Chapter 49 What if the money I borrowed from Yan Jue earlier isn't enough?
Her gaze was so conspicuous that Chen Pingjin felt uncomfortable for a moment.
Shen Pingjin touched her nose and said, "Young Master Qin, is there something you want to say to me?"
Li Qin'er seemed to realize that she was now a man and it wasn't appropriate for her to stare at a young woman like that. She shook her head and said, "No, no, I just feel that the Princess trusts me too much, and I feel a little uncomfortable."
Hearing Li Qin'er's explanation, Shen Pingjin said she could understand. After all, such a novel menu would certainly raise suspicions if an ordinary person saw it.
Shen Pingjin nodded. "So that's how it is. Young Master Qin, rest assured, I always trust those I don't trust and don't use those I don't trust. I'll leave this contract matter to you. It's almost noon now, so why don't we have lunch together and then go to the market to see if there's a good location we can buy?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qin'er nodded quickly, "Okay, okay."
Nian'an and Nian Ning were enjoying their meal when they had no idea that their princess consort, while eavesdropping, had actually discovered a business partner.
Perhaps because the business at Zuixianglou had been so booming lately, the waiter only brought out the meat buns and rice soup after the two had finished their discussion.
Shen Pingjin seemed to have noticed as well. She looked at Nian An and Nian Ning, frowned, and said, "I'll leave these two things to you two. Now, I'm going to go with Young Master Qin to inspect the location."
Upon hearing this, Nian'an and Nianning exclaimed in disbelief, "Your Highness, you, you, you, you... you're just going to leave us here like this?"
Shen Pingjin nodded and said, "Of course. Although it's a pity I didn't have breakfast, it doesn't stop me from going to the morning market on an empty stomach."
Nian An and Nian Ning were a little anxious, "But..."
Shen Pingjin waved her hand impatiently, "You two don't need to worry about me. I will be back at the manor before dark."
Nian An and Nian Ning were taken aback. That wasn't what they wanted to say. They meant that they couldn't finish the meat buns, and besides, going hungry was bad for their health!
Nian'an and Nian Ning wanted to say something more, but at this moment, Li Qin'er, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.
"Your Highness, do you find it too troublesome to have breakfast here?"
Hearing this, Shen Pingjin nodded and said, "That's right."
Li Qin'er breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the waiter beside her, and instructed, "Go and pack up these meat buns, as for these bowls of rice soup..."
Li Qin'er hesitated. So far, she did not have the ability to make plastic in ancient times, so naturally she could not package it in bags like in modern times.
Shen Pingjin asked, somewhat puzzled, "Young Master Qin, what's this package?"
This was the first time she had ever heard of the existence of "packages".
Li Qin'er knew that Shen Pingjin didn't understand these things, so she explained, "Packaging means putting these hot meat buns into a paper bag, but this paper bag has been specially treated by me. It can insulate the heat to a certain extent and also prevent the oil and water inside the meat buns from dripping out."
Shen Pingjin was a little confused, but she was someone who had been reborn once, and she knew that some people were born with such good fortune.
The young master Qin before us might be one of them.
Upon receiving the order, the waiter quickly brought over the oil paper and placed the meat buns inside it.
In fact, oiled paper already existed in Dongyue Kingdom, but most people did not know that oiled paper could be used in this way.
Shen Pingjin took the hot buns and felt incredibly amazed. Her goodwill and trust towards the young master Qin beside her rose to another level.
This rice porridge...
Li Qin'er had no choice but to ask, "Your Highness, we really can't pack up all this rice soup. Why don't we just finish it here before we leave?"
In fact, Shen Pingjin was not in a hurry from the beginning. She was just a little impatient, after all, she was eager to make money.
Since Li Qin'er had spoken, Shen Pingjin was no longer in a hurry. She said, "Alright, since Young Master Qin has spoken, let's finish the rice soup here on the spot."
The rice porridge was placed on the table, and it seemed to have been sitting there for a while. The temperature was just right when it was served, and Shen Pingjin, Nian An, and Nian Ning drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing the stunningly beautiful woman before her behaving so boldly, Li Qin'er calmed herself down a bit.
She glanced at the empty porcelain bowl and said, "Regent's wife, shall we leave now?"
Shen Pingjin took a bite of the meat bun in her hand. "Let's go."
The group swaggered out of the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion. At that moment, Ye Ting, who had been drooling with envy in the shadows, finally couldn't resist and slipped out when he saw the group turn to leave.
The breakfast at Zuixianglou is top-notch. Ye Ting, under Yan Jue's orders, was secretly following and protecting Shen Pingjin. He couldn't contain himself any longer as he smelled the aroma wafting around.
His martial arts skills were superb, so he naturally overheard the entire conversation between Shen Pingjin and the young master Qin. He looked at the waiter not far away and called out:
"Waiter, a basket of xiaolongbao, please!"
"Alright, sir!"
Ye Ting found a seat with satisfaction, completely forgetting his mission, and stayed close to Chen Pingjin.
To be honest, he felt that his master was in some danger because he noticed that the mistress's attitude towards that young master Qin was unusual.
While waiting for the steamed buns, Ye Ting decided that he must report this matter to his master that night!
Meanwhile, Shen Pingjin and his group had already left Zuixianglou.
Shen Pingjin vaguely remembered that in her previous life, this glass pavilion had been opened in two different places.
One is less than ten miles along the street in front of Zuixianglou, and the other is at the main entrance of Donghua Road.
She hadn't paid much attention to these things in her previous life, so she didn't know why the Glass Pavilion had to be moved around so many times.
Li Qin'er really planned to just wander around. In fact, when she first conceived the idea of creating her own brand, she had already decided on the location.
However, land in Kyoto is extremely valuable, and she couldn't afford to take it over without the money. She originally planned to cooperate with Zuixianglou for a while to save up enough money before going there, but now she has latched onto Shen Pingjin's coattails.
For a moment, Li Qin'er hesitated. She said gently, "Your Highness, why don't you come with me? I know a particularly good vacant lot, but..."
Seeing Li Qin'er's hesitant expression, Shen Pingjin asked, "But what?"
Li Qin'er continued, "However, that location is extremely valuable, so it's a bit pricey."
A little pricey?
Shen Pingjin frowned deeply. If it was a little expensive, what would she do if the money she had borrowed from Yan Jue earlier wasn't enough?
