Geng Xingchen and Jiang Xuefu, who had watched the whole process, after the princess arrived, they were only prepared to salute with everyone at the beginning. After being exempted from the ceremony, the two of them hid in a corner with a tacit understanding.
Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Wang just paid it back and did not force her daughter. She knew that with her daughter's communication skills, pushing forward would probably have the opposite effect.
Geng Xingchen's mother, Mrs. Jiang, had always asked Geng Xingchen to lead the two princesses to the embroidered shoe area to choose embroidered shoes.
But Geng Xingchen only pulled Jiang Xuefu to watch the fun and refused to move. Jiang made her anxious and said, "Mom, let's go together." Jiang took a step back. She didn't dare to go.
If the wife of the prince and the third wife of the Yongqing Marquis were here and accompanied by them, she might have dared to come forward, but because of Miss Meng Liu, after the two princesses arrived, they also left one after another. .
Now that the two princesses have left, Mrs. Jiang feels a little regretful that their sister Chen did not seize such a good opportunity. The sixth princess also said that she would invite Sister Shuang to play in the palace. If Sister Chen can follow, If we go to the palace together and win the favor of the princess or some empress, the marriage in the Yongqing Marquis Mansion will be a little more secure.
The two princesses left, and the clothes in the shop were sold out. The few remaining guests also left one after another. Even Princess Shanning also left, and before leaving, she also brought the Ruan family and the Jiang family together. He took them away, saying that he was taking them back to his uncle's house.
Jiang Xuefu was very happy today. She was so busy today. Sister Shuang still remembered that she had said that she would give her and her mother clothes. Just now they went in to try them on while the dressing room was empty.
Her mother is satisfied, and she is even more satisfied.
I never felt like I still looked good.
"Mrs. Li, I'm really in trouble for you today."
Zhu Yan saw Mrs. Li coming and hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Li.
"Fortunately, I lived up to my trust!"
Mrs. Li smiled gently, "It's getting late now, and I have to go back. If there are any suitable clothes styles in the future, you have to inform me."
"That's natural, we're still waiting for you to help us grow eyes!"
"Then I'll wait. Go back and say hello to the old lady for me. Just tell her that I'll go and say hello to her in a few days."
Zhu Yan responded repeatedly.
After sending away the last group of customers, only Geng Xingshuang, Zhu Yan, Geng Xingchen, Jiang Xuefu and Xu Lianyang, who had gone back to the hospital for medical treatment and returned after seeing a doctor, were left in the store.
Zhu Yan knew Xu Lianyang and Geng Xingchen, but this was the first time she met Jiang Xuefu. However, she had heard about Jiang Xuefu from Geng Xingshuang before, and knew that she was the one who saved Geng Xingshuang who almost fell into the water.
"The elders were worried that we would be uncomfortable, so they had already gone back. Finally, when we got this opportunity, Sister Shuang and I discussed that we should go to Ruyi Building for lunch together. Their private room is quite well decorated, and there are several You can see the Luxun River, and their roast chicken tastes very good, so I’ve already made a reservation.”
I have already calculated the profit for this morning in just half a volume. After excluding materials such as fabrics and embroidery threads, as well as wages paid to garment makers and embroiderers, and then subtracting rent and other expenses, I have made a net profit of more than one hundred taels today.
Of course, this was the opening day, and many customers came to support them. There will definitely be no such income in the future, but as long as you can earn ten or twenty taels a day, you will have an income of several hundred taels in a month. Such Geng Xingshuang I feel very good.
Today is a good start, so it’s time to celebrate.
Logically speaking, Zhu Yan should keep Zhu Ni, but Zhu Yan really didn't want to get along with her cousin, so she didn't ask to keep her. As for her other friends, they were either rich or noble. Even if they were willing, they would not be allowed to stay. The mother may not be willing to leave her daughter to eat out.
Even many people don't understand that with Zhu Yan's family background, even if she wants to do business, she can just open a shop at home. Why would she open a shop with a girl from a down-and-out uncle's family? She wants to find a partner and a suitable choice. There are many, such as my own daughter.
But what they don't understand is that just because Zhu Yan has enough family background and enlightened parents, she has the right to make her own choices. Naturally, she wants to be with the friend she thinks is the best friend and the most suitable friend. She doesn't have to After considering so much, it doesn’t matter if you fail.
"Boy, I found that not only does your Ruyilou's roasted chicken taste much better now, many dishes, such as this fish fillet in sour soup, although the name is still the same as before, the taste is much better than before. This is your family's new secret recipe , or is there a new cook?”
Since the dining room and dishes had been reserved in advance, the dishes were served quickly as soon as they sat down.
After just a few bites, Zhu Yan discovered something surprising. The last time she came to eat, the dishes she ordered were different from today's. She only thought their roast chicken tasted better, but she didn't expect to make a new discovery today.
The waiter was amused and said with a smile: "Our shopkeeper found a cook from somewhere two months ago. Although he is young, he is really good at what he does. He can cook better than...Master Bai." Be nice.”
When talking about Master Bai, the waiter deliberately kept his business down, as if he was afraid of being overheard.
Jiang Xuefu said: "What are you afraid of? Your kitchen is not downstairs. It's so far away and no one in the kitchen can hear it."
Zhu Yan also said: "Just say it, we won't tell that Master Bai. What other dishes does your new master be good at?"
This was not the first time that the waiter encountered such a problem. He first listed a few dishes and saw that although these girls were well-dressed and seemed to be from a high background, they spoke very kindly and now they have passed. When the restaurant was busiest, he was not in a hurry to leave, and sighed: "It's okay for you guys. Originally, we had to answer whatever the guests asked. But if the guests always only order the dishes cooked by Master Tao, Master Bai will know how to do it." It shows Master Tao’s face. Speaking of which, Master Bai is the old master of Ruyilou after all. He has worked here for more than 20 years, so even the owner has to show some respect."
Xu Lianyang suddenly asked: "Is your new Master Tao a girl?"
When she asked this, Zhu Yan, Geng Xingshuang, Geng Xingchen and Jiang Xuefu were surprised. Although women usually cook in ordinary households, there are very few women who cook in restaurants, let alone She is a girl, even if she becomes a married woman, there are only a handful of them.
Unless it's a small restaurant with only a few tables opened by one's own family, both the host and the hostess can cook.
Everyone looked at the waiter, who nodded and said: "No, Master Tao is just fifteen years old this year. I heard that she started cooking when she was seven years old. At the beginning, she only knew some ordinary farm dishes. Because her family was poor, she It was rare to even eat meat, let alone make a big dish. By chance, I met a cook. The cook thought that Master Tao was well-behaved and talented, so he passed on his lifelong knowledge to her.
She learned good cooking skills. In order to improve the conditions at home, she came to Ruyilou to cook. I heard that before she came to Ruyilou, she had been to many restaurants, but those restaurants said they did not need women to cook. Our storekeeper happened to be When we met, we invited her to come to our place and try cooking a few dishes. Unexpectedly, she not only knew how to cook, but also cooked better than Master Bai. The shopkeeper waved her hand and let her stay. "
