Chapter 174 The Brave Wins
Is this directed at Huo Yuchen?
No way? Lin Pianran and Huo Yuchen had just returned to the capital yesterday, and Gu Xiangsi, a girl in the boudoir, had already heard about it immediately?
Isn’t this reaction speed amazing?
Could it be that she has been sending people to monitor every move of the Prince's Mansion?
How dare she?
Is this a rhythm of seeking death?
Or did she get the information from other channels?
Come to think of it, this is entirely possible. After all, the news of Huo Yuchen's return to Beijing was completely public, and nothing was deliberately concealed.
But the fact that she followed Huo Yuchen to distribute porridge outside the city, showing her kind side, made people think more.
Lin Pianran never believed in coincidences. She believed that it was a long-planned plan by someone.
Gu Xiangsi did this not only for the sake of fame, but also for show, or maybe she wanted to take the opportunity to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Thinking that someone was secretly eyeing Huo Yuchen, Lin Pianran felt a little upset and very uncomfortable.
She called Wang, the manager of the grain shop, and got straight to the point, saying bluntly, "I handed the shop over to you because I trusted you so much, but you've run it terribly. Now I'm giving you a chance to make amends."
"Go to Jingzhao Prefecture now and sue Lin Chumo for embezzling my money. Bring along the confessions of Shuangbai and Nanny Ming. You must find a way to recover all the money that the Lin family has embezzled..."
"Otherwise, I will hand you over to the authorities and have you spend the rest of your life in prison..."
After Manager Wang kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy, he took the order and left.
Lin Pianran said to Huanxue again, "From now on, all the shops under my name will be managed by you. If you have any questions, just come and ask me."
"You'll naturally be in charge of the grain store as well. The warehouse is still full of grain, so sell it all at half price..."
"Miss...with such a low price, won't we lose money? Food is so precious these days!"
"Even if you are kindhearted and want to help the victims, there is no need to lower the price so much, right?"
Lin Pianran patted Huanxue's head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will only make money, not lose money. Just go for it boldly. If you do it well, I will reward you handsomely!"
"By the way, if anyone asks who owns the grain, just say it's the owner of Yufulou."
"If you're shorthanded, ask the owner of Yu Fu Lou to send someone over for you. If you encounter any problems, you can ask him to find a solution for you."
"Yes, Miss." Huanxue also took the order and left.
By doing this, Lin Pianran was helping Huo Yuchen gain a higher reputation in the capital, and at the same time, she could suppress Gu Xiangsi's arrogance.
After Jingyu finished the report, he kept staring at his young lady. He saw that her face was extremely calm, and there was nothing different from usual, but he still felt a sense of relief in his heart.
She just vaguely felt that her young lady was a little angry.
But she didn't dare ask more questions, for fear that she might say something wrong and make the problem even more out of control.
It will only backfire.
After lunch, Lin Pianran went into her own room without anyone serving her.
The door remained tightly closed, and inside, it was so silent that not even the slightest sound could be heard. The stillness was so tranquil that it made people feel puzzled.
Jingyu quietly approached the door, pressed his ear against it, and listened for a long time, but heard no sound.
Jing Yu, who was waiting outside, was so anxious that his mouth was almost blistered.
She could only ask the secret guard to quietly report the young lady's abnormal behavior to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
It was not until dinner time had passed that Lin Pianran opened the door and came out. She asked someone to call Chen Mubai, Huanxue, Tianzhu and Lu Jianmin over.
Chen Mubai has always been in charge of the management of all shops in the Prince's Mansion.
After the four entered the room, they saw Lin Pianran taking out several recipes and some jewelry design drawings.
Lin Pianran handed the things to Shen Mubai first, and asked with a smile on her face, "Take a look at these recipes and design drawings, what do you think?"
Chen Mubai took a look, his face full of joy. "These recipes are very detailed, really great! But we may not be able to find all the spices that the young lady mentioned!"
“If the seasoning doesn’t meet the requirements, the taste will be hard to meet expectations…”
Lin Pianran thought about it and realized that she had not considered this issue carefully before.
But there are seeds in her space, and she can find a way to grow them, so this problem can be easily solved.
Lin Pianran opened a small box beside the bed, which contained seeds of star anise, pepper and bay leaves. She gave some of them to Chen Mubai.
After thinking about it, I found some seeds of chili peppers, green peppers, coriander and tomatoes and gave them to him.
"Find a piece of fertile land and a few experienced growers. Find a way to grow all of these spices and vegetables. I'll write you the detailed planting methods tomorrow!"
"Keep this matter confidential for the time being and don't let it spread."
"Yes, yes, Miss, I will do as you tell me." Shen Mubai's tone was very excited.
Thinking about the high-yield sweet potatoes in the space, that is a good thing, and I can find a suitable time to plant them. It will benefit the people of the entire Qin Dynasty and solve the people's thermal insulation problem.
However, you can't take out too many things at once, as it will always arouse suspicion.
Take it step by step. You can't become fat in one bite.
When Shen Mubai saw the methods of making bread and cakes, he felt that this must be a big business opportunity, and his face was full of excitement.
"Miss, I will have someone research the preparation methods of these two foods tomorrow."
"Okay, from now on you will be in charge of the businesses in the Prince's Mansion, and Huanxue will be in charge of the businesses under my name. Once the research is complete, both shops can start selling at the same time..."
“Okay, okay…”
Shen Mubai's voice rose several degrees in joy.
Lin Pianran added, "As for those jewelry, you can make samples in the next few days and send them over so I can help you check them."
"In the beginning, we will process in small batches. Once everyone likes and approves our products, we will increase the batch size..."
After giving all the instructions, he sent the four people away.
Lin Pianran then began to ask people to prepare dinner.
During dinner, Jingyu kept observing his young lady's expression, hoping to find some clues from it.
However, Lin Pianran ate with gusto, and there was no sign of anything unusual on her face.
