Chapter 127 Chili pepper?
After all, the situation is very tense right now, and if you are not careful, you may end up losing money.
So Lin Ruqian was often lectured by Shen Xuelan because of this matter, for fear that he would cause trouble and get himself into trouble.
However, Lin Baoer appreciated his approach. Successful transactions are risky, and there will be rewards only if there are risks. It all depends on how you do it.
After Lin Ruqian bought it, he went to Jingzhao Prefecture and said that he would demolish Xianle Pavilion. He asked Jingzhao Yin to write a document for him and stamp it to make it public.
In fact, it is not appropriate to touch a newly sealed building. However, Lin Ruqian not only has connections with the Lin family, but also with the Sun family, the Wei family, and the Chu family. Not only that, if he still can't get through, he can even ask Rong and the princess for help.
With so many connections, it would only take a few minutes to demolish Xianle Pavilion.
But demolition is demolition, and if you want to operate it, you still have to wait until the three-month sealing period is over, otherwise it would be a disregard for the law and contempt for the emperor's power.
So Lin Ruqian was not idle. After demolishing Xianle Pavilion, he immediately called people to build a new pavilion.
And named it Shuiqing Tower.
Three months later, Shuiqing Tower arrived as scheduled. Looking at the extremely ancient and simple pavilion in front of her, Lin Baoer was dazed.
Lin Ruqian turned the first floor into a teahouse, with a large area in the middle where a stage for opera was set up. The second floor was divided into many compartments, each selling different things, including jewelry, satin, rouge, powder, books, etc. The third floor was a quiet space for those who needed a quiet place.
Not only that, the teahouse on the first floor also provides takeout for various snacks, which are mainly connected to Shenghuai Restaurant. Any food and snacks sold by Shenghuai Restaurant can be delivered to Shuiqinglou for free. Of course
, these are all Lin Baoer's ideas. She imitated the suggestions given to Lin Ruqian by modern shopping malls. There will be some deviations, but generally speaking, they are quite similar.
Originally, Lin Baoer wanted Lin Ruqian to build a few more floors, and it would be best if there was a play area or a snack area. Unfortunately, Lin Ruqian told her that the building could not be built so high for the time being.
As for why, he did not explain, and Lin Baoer just regarded it as an ancient rule and did not mention it again.
And there is another problem, that is, three months is too short. They can only finish the current appearance after some processing and addition. Any more can only be considered later.
Lin Baoer has long been eyeing the land behind Shuiqing Building. There is a pond behind Shuiqing Building. The pond occupies a large area, one-third of the area of Shuiqing Building, and there is also a piece of land behind the pond.
After Shuiqinglou was stable, Lin Baoer decided to persuade Lin Ruqian to buy the land as well, forming a circle around the pond, and making it all Shuiqinglou's land.
In this way, more things can be done, and in the long run, a commercial district will definitely be formed with Shuiqinglou as the center.
Lin Baoer thought so happily, with a smile on her face.
When it was the first time to open, they also found a shopkeeper, and did not use the name of the Lin family. Therefore, except for those dignitaries who knew about it, ordinary people only knew that a new "teahouse" had opened.
On the third floor of Shuiqinglou, Sun Zice came here on a rare day of relaxation, sat aside and drank tea, and glanced at Wei Zhixu beside him.
Wei Zhixu shook Chu Jingchen's hand and handed her a piece of cake with a smile, "Sister Chu, this snack is not bad, would you like to try it?"
Chu Jingchen took it, took a bite slowly, and nodded with a smile to show her approval.
Lin Ruqian was busy asking the servants of Shuiqinglou to bring up the food, while pushing open the door of the private room, "Princess, please come this way."
Song Qingqing raised her eyes and scanned everywhere, and finally fixed on Lin Mobai who was helping Lin Baoer peel shrimps. After a pause, she nodded modestly and walked in.
"Princess."
Everyone in the private room stood up.
Song Qingqing waved her hands and smiled, "Today we are celebrating the opening of Shuiqinglou, so there is no need to be polite."
Lin Baoer glanced at her, swallowed the shrimp meat, and walked over with a smile, "Sister Princess~"
Song Qingqing touched her head with a smile in her eyes, and sighed, "It's been a long time since we last met, and little Baoer has grown up so much."
Lin Baoer smiled obediently, then took Song Qingqing's hand and sat down near Lin Mobai. When she left, she deliberately winked at Lin Mobai.
Lin Mobai's body stiffened for a moment, and he chose to turn his head away and no longer look at her.
"When will Sister Jinyi come?" Lin Baoer stood at the door, looking anxiously.
Ying Jinyi is about the same age as Lin Ruqian, but she is one or two years younger than him, and not much older than Lin Baoer, so Lin Baoer likes to play with her very much and can talk about anything.
As for the others, they are like her sisters, so she doesn't dare to be too presumptuous.
"Fourth sister!"
Speak of the devil, Ying Jinyi came over like a gust of wind, holding a gift in her hand.
"Sister Jinyi!" Lin Baoer was surprised.
Ying Jinyi touched her head and looked at Lin Ruqian mysteriously, "Look what good things I brought for you!"
She said that without caring about the occasion, she opened the box directly.
After seeing what was in the box, Lin Baoer's eyes widened suddenly.
Chili!
Bright red, long, with a small bunch on the top, it looks exactly like a chili pepper.
Lin Ruqian poked his head over, wondering, "Chili pepper?"
Ying Jinyi was surprised, "Brother Ruqian, do you know?"
Lin Ruqian nodded, "It's something that was offered as tribute not long ago. It tastes spicy and will easily cause a burning sensation in the mouth if you eat too much. It's quite novel."
"I heard that it's a seasoning like salt, wine, sauce, and vinegar, and is used in food."
Lin Baoer thought to herself: !!!
"Third brother, why have you never told me this?!" Lin Baoer was shocked.
Lin Ruqian tilted his head, "Although chili peppers are tribute, they are mainly used in food ingredients and the quantity is not small, so the emperor gave some to each official. When my father and elder brother brought them back, you were not at home, so I tasted it."
"It tastes a bit similar to Sichuan pepper and ginger. People in the mansion don't like it very much, so they put it away."
"It turns out that you already had it, brother Ruqian." Ying Jinyi was disappointed, "I thought it was some new thing."
"But I like this taste very much. When I'm at home, I ask the chef to put some chili peppers in the dishes. The taste is very unique."
Ying Jinyi became lively again, as if he was recalling the taste. "So I thought that since you run a restaurant, you might need this stuff, so I brought some here."
"But my father didn't bring much back. Now, apart from what's left at home, these are all I have."
