The various kinship relationships in the capital are complicated. For example, Sheng Qi can call Meng Yiqiu his cousin.
Sheng Qi was detained by his grandfather to study at home and had not been allowed to go out for a long time. When the two came to his house, Grandpa Sheng did not intend to let them go. He also wanted to teach Meng Yiqiu a lesson, saying, "If you don't work hard when you are young, you will regret it when you are old."
As a result, when they met, Mr. Sheng's legs went weak and he almost knelt down: "County Lady?"
Tang Shiyue was also stunned.
This person is the unlucky guy called "Naughty Boy" Tang Shiyue, who was punished by Emperor Ming Yan to write an instruction manual for essential oils.
If she had known that he was Sheng Qi's grandfather, she would have been more lenient with him! At least she wouldn't have embarrassed him in person!
Tang Shiyue had no choice but to smile and say, "I am a junior, Lord Sheng, please don't be polite. I am here to play with Sheng Qi. Is he here?"
Does Mr. Sheng dare to say he is not here? He is afraid that the emperor will issue an order to his grandson.
He immediately asked someone to call Sheng Qi out. When Sheng Qi saw Tang Shiyue, he immediately shouted, "Ayue!"
He immediately started talking: "Why are you here! I don't even know! Why are you with Cousin Meng? Ayue, we are such good friends, why did you go to find Cousin Meng first... Oh, right, I remember, Cousin Meng and you were vaccinated together, you two are friends in need! Okay, I forgive you! You haven't told me whether you were scared or not! Ah ah ah, you don't know! I felt it was very thrilling when I heard it. It's great that you're in Chang'an. Do you want to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? I'll take you to see him. His Highness must want to see you too..."
...
...
Tang Shiyue: “…”
She and Meng Yiqiu looked at each other.
Suddenly I felt that asking Sheng Qi to come out might not be a good idea.
This guy, asking and answering his own questions, talking to himself, can be as noisy as ten people... Will they be killed by his noise?
But they still went out together.
Then Tang Shiyue told the story about the calligraphy copybook again, and these two people...neither of them got the point at all.
Sheng Qi said, "Hahaha, no wonder my grandfather didn't call me when I came out! I was so nervous! Then Ayue must come to play with me more often! I'm going bald from studying!"
Meng Yiqiu said: "It's okay, Mr. Sheng cares about his reputation the most, he won't tell anyone about this!"
Tang Shiyue: “……???”
All right, so Tang Shiyue said happily: "Then let's go play!"
These two people are local experts. They know where is fun, where is delicious, and where is good to learn... With them leading the way, especially with Sheng Qi, the smart perpetual motion tour guide, Tang Shiyue became familiar with Chang'an City in just a few days.
At the same time, because of Meng Yiqiu, a walking machine for picking up girls, Tang Pan An's name also spread quickly.
A few people who knew the inside story knew that this person was Lady Enfu herself, but they told others that he was Tang Shiyue's brother.
From time to time, I would meet Meng Ershao’s girlfriend fans.
Tang Shiyue's face has been retouched, and now he looks like a handsome and free-spirited young man. He uses the skills of a movie queen to attract fans, and he is very good at secretly grabbing fans.
Young Master Meng not only did not care, but also looked quite happy, discussing with her from time to time, "I think you should have finished saying that sentence just now, and then opened the fan, so that you would appear more relaxed and calm."
Yeah, Tang Shiyue thinks so too.
It was too early to open the fan... That's why she said that Young Master Meng used all his cleverness to flirt with girls, right?
At noon, I went to a restaurant opened by the Meng family for lunch.
After the Meng family became rich, they wanted to expand into other fields from time to time, but they were not doing well. For example, the cosmetics business was not very popular, not to mention the catering business, which was simply "deserted and sparsely populated."
As Meng Yiqiu led them upstairs, he said, "I don't know why. The chef was hired at a high price, but he never serves customers. If I hadn't come here often when I have nothing to do, no one would come. My eldest brother is planning to sell it off."
So, it’s just like when celebrities open stores in later generations, relying entirely on fan economy?
Tang Shiyue didn't have high hopes, but she didn't expect it to taste so good. The dessert after the meal was also delicious.
It tastes so good, why doesn't anyone come?
Tang Shiyue turned around and understood, and said with a smile: "I now believe that you, the Meng family, really don't know how to run a restaurant business. Such a Feng Shui treasure land, such a good chef, you have ruined it like this."
Meng Yiqiu was used to being scolded by her, so he didn't mind at all. He even poured her a cup of tea and said, "Please give me some advice, Brother Pan An."
"Hmm!" Tang Shiyue took the tea and drank it seriously: "In fact, if you didn't come here so often, the business here might be better."
Meng Yiqiu was puzzled: "Why?"
Tang Shiyue said: "Didn't you see that this is actually a place where scholars gather..."
"Ah!" Meng Yiqiu slammed the table: "They are jealous of me! Humph!"
Tang Shiyue: “…”
She could only say, "That may be the reason, but there are many women here, and scholars value their reputation, so they have to avoid suspicion."
Meng Yiqiu said "oh" and Sheng Qi wanted to speak.
If the pocket of words were opened, she wouldn't even be able to squeeze in.
Tang Shiyue quickly pointed her finger at him and said, "If you want to do good business, it's very simple. Just three steps. The first step is to change the name to a more feminine one and decorate the room in a more feminine way. The second step is to make some medicinal cakes that are good for the health of the elderly. The third step is to replace the windows with cicada wing gauze."
Meng Yiqiu was puzzled: "Why?"
"It's very simple," Tang Shiyue said, "You have to be targeted when doing catering. Don't try to cover everything, but choose the right user group."
"The dishes cooked by this chef are light and delicate, and the pastries are even more amazing. They are suitable for women. This is the first reason. Secondly, although there are many students here, they all cook in the same style. No matter how elegant they are, they will become indecent when they are gathered together. It is better to do something that others do not do."
"So making some minor changes to the decoration and making it exclusively for women is the most labor-saving and effective method."
"Regarding the second step. You said you come here often, but have you ever thought that nowadays, even if a girl likes you, Meng Erlang, she can't talk about you openly, so she is embarrassed to come here often. And maybe some people just like the food here, but they are afraid that others will say they go here for Meng Erlang, so they are embarrassed to come. So, you have to give them a reason... What reason is better than bringing cakes to the elderly?"
To put it bluntly, there has to be a fig leaf!
She continued, "As for the third step, you can see."
She stood up and told them to look outside, then changed to another room with a window on the east side and told them to look outside again: "Do you understand?"
Sheng Qi suddenly realized: "Ah! I understand..."
She quickly pointed at him again... In order to prevent him from talking endlessly, she threatened him that she would not look for him if he didn't obey. So now Sheng Qi was like a puppet. When she pointed at him, he couldn't hold it in and dared not speak. It was very funny.
"So, do you understand?" Tang Shiyue said with a smile, "You can quietly see a lot of scholars here. If a woman brings her daughter to a blind date, this is the best place to choose. Over time, the scholars will know that there are people watching here, and they will double their performance. This is a win-win situation."
