It's winter now, and hot pot not only tastes delicious, but also tastes steaming hot, which is simply addictive.
There is also the Shaodaozi liquor. If you drink it in one gulp, the hotness will burn from your throat to your belly, making your blood boil.
The most gratifying thing is that when you are drunk, you can sing and dance with the girls, which makes the Manchus and Mongolians happy.
For several days in a row, Xiangyun Restaurant was full every day, and many people came late and were unable to get a seat. At this point, the reputation of Xiangyun Restaurant spread throughout Shengjing, and even many dignitaries rushed to have a taste.
Sylvia probably didn't expect that the business would be so booming, but now she felt a little regretful. She should have made the restaurant bigger.
Although she is only twelve years old, she has now become a veritable proprietress of Xiangyun Restaurant, which surprises many people.
But Sylvia Lin doesn’t care about other people’s opinions. Although she is only twelve years old, she has a slender figure and a beautiful face. The areas that should be developed have begun to take shape. When you stand there, although she is young, she has a boss lady look. style.
"Master, we now have tens of thousands of taels of silver. It would be a pity if we didn't use it to do something."
In the study, Sylvia Lin made a pot of hot tea for Lin Pingan, then sat down and said.
Lin Ping'an glanced at Sylvia Lin with great approval, and asked with a hint of examination:
"Miss Yun Shu is indeed a born businesswoman. In your opinion, what should we do?"
Sylvia Lin seemed to have already planned it, and said without thinking:
"Let's not touch the fine salt. After all, this kind of business is controlled by the government, and we might get sued. I think chicken essence can be a try."
Speaking of this, she frowned slightly and said with a hint of disdain:
"But the Tatars are all barbarians, and they don't have very high requirements for food taste. If this chicken essence is sold in the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely sell very well, but it is hard to say in Shengjing City."
Lin Ping'an nodded, deeply agreeing with Sylvia Lin's statement.
It is said that wild boars cannot eat fine bran. Shengjing is not as good as Beijing. It is far away from Beijing in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Therefore, chicken essence is not a necessary thing, and it is not certain whether it will be easy to sell.
"Since fine salt doesn't work, and chicken essence doesn't work either, what are your plans?"
Lin Pingan asked.
Sylvia Lin smiled and said:
"My Ye family is the most famous cloth merchant in Guangning City, so I want to engage in the cloth business."
Sylvia said very confidently: "Many people in Shengjing City have money, but many cloths are difficult for them to buy. We might as well sell cloths from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and we will definitely make a lot of profits."
Seeing Sylvia Lin's eagerness to try, Lin Ping'an couldn't help but curiously asked:
"Miss Yun Shu, you are only twelve years old. Have you already been exposed to your Ye family's cloth business at a very young age?"
Sylvia Lin rolled his eyes at him and said: "The young master is only twelve years old, hasn't he also made hot pot and Shaodaozi wine?"
I am a time traveler... Lin Ping'an was choked, scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "What you said seems to make some sense."
"That's natural."
Sylvia puffed up her chest and said: "I have listened to my father and brothers talking about business since I was a child, and I usually pay more attention to it. Naturally, I am very familiar with this cloth business. As long as the goods on the road are safe, this business will never be worse than our hot pot." , but it’s safe?”
Speaking of this, Sylvia frowned slightly and stopped.
Hearing this, Lin Ping'an shook his head and said directly: "I can't guarantee the safety along the way. If the goods are picked up by others, then we will lose everything."
This issue also made Sylvia a little embarrassed. Nowadays, wars between the Ming Dynasty and Hou Jin Dynasty are frequent, and there are also many bandits in the Ming Dynasty. The journey to Jiangsu and Zhejiang is long, and no one can guarantee the safety of the goods.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and said quietly: "It seems that I didn't think carefully."
"It doesn't matter, we will return to Daming sooner or later, and it won't be too late to revive your cloth business by then."
Lin Ping'an comforted him and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms.
"Give it to you!"
As he spoke, he handed the small porcelain bottle to Sylvia Lin.
"What's this?"
Sylvia Lin took the porcelain bottle and asked in surprise.
"This is the perfume I made."
As Lin Pingan said this, he motioned to Sylvia Lin to open the cork of the bottle.
perfume?
What is this?
Sylvia Lin was curious, stretched out his fingers and pulled out the cork of the bottle, and immediately smelled an elegant aroma in his nose.
“Smells so good!”
Sylvia Lin praised, put the porcelain bottle to his nose, took a deep breath, and then showed a trace of intoxication on his face.
"Sprinkle a few drops of this perfume on your clothes or skin, and the fragrance will last for a long time."
Lin Pingan explained and asked: "What do you think about selling this thing?"
Sylvia Lin waved the bottle in the air, then sniffed and sniffed carefully, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, he nodded repeatedly and said:
"Tatars like beef and mutton the most, so they usually have an unpleasant smell."
At this point, she frowned, with a look of disgust on her face, and then continued:
"Even those women must have this smell on their bodies. If they use this perfume, it will be able to cover up the unpleasant smell on their bodies, so I think this will be a big seller."
"Yes, Miss Yun Shu really has a good sense. I also think this thing will be easy to sell."
Lin Ping'an gave Ye Yunshu a thumbs up.
Sylvia Lin smiled sweetly, thought for a while and asked:
"Master, are these scents just the same thing?"
Lin Pingan shook his head and said: "This fragrance is extracted from the fragrance of flowers. Different flowers have different smells, so the fragrance of perfume will also be different, such as rose fragrance, gardenia fragrance, etc."
Upon hearing this, Sylvia Lin opened his eyes wide, looked at Lin Ping'an and asked, "Master, did you make all of these yourself?"
"Then there is still a holiday?"
Lin Ping'an smiled. He purified some alcohol during the brewing process, then mashed the dried flower petals and soaked them, and finally made a simple perfume.
For a modern man like him, this is actually nothing, but in Sylvia Lin's eyes, Lin Ping'an's image is simply astonishing.
Seeing Sylvia Lin's surprised expression, Lin Ping'an said calmly: "This is actually nothing. To me, young master, it is simply a trivial matter."
Sylvia Lin completely accepted Lin Pingan's naked pretense. After all, in her eyes, Lin Pingan's image had become extremely tall.
"Master, does this perfume have a name?"
Sylvia Lin asked, holding the porcelain bottle in his hand, looking like he couldn't put it down.
Lin Ping'an thought for a while and said with a smile: "Let's call her Yun Shu."
"Yun Shu?"
Sylvia Lin murmured in his mouth, and a bright red color suddenly appeared on his face.
.
Men in Shengjing love to drink, especially hard liquor.
Lin Ping'an's Shaodaozi wine was very strong, and almost all the men drinking in the restaurant were not drunk.
But men who drank alcohol were more likely to be irritable, especially the Manchus and Mongols in Shengjing City. These people not only danced but also fought when they were happy.
Often, guests at two tables who don't know each other start to fight for no apparent reason.
And not only do they use their hands, but sometimes they also use knives.
As a little girl, Sylvia Lin had never seen such a battle. She, the boss's wife, was so frightened that she turned pale and shivered every time, so she had to drag Lin Ping'an to stay with her every night.
In this regard, Lin Ping'an was also a little helpless. If the guests wanted to fight, he really had nothing to do.
Fortunately, most of these guests have deposited money in advance, and the damaged items only need to be deducted from the deposited silver. If they encounter those who do not have deposited money in advance, they can only ask them to compensate according to the price.
This job is usually done by Zhao Shenghe and Liu Cheng. These two young men have eaten well and slept well in the past few months. They have grown tall and thick, and they are not afraid of drunk customers.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng and Liu Cheng looked at the restaurant with wary faces. Now they have experience and know when things are most likely to happen. It is often when the guests are drunk and start singing and dancing.
A big man stood up. He staggered, but he did not go towards the stage. Instead, he stared directly at Sylvia Lin with a pair of red eyes.
