Yin Jian went to the mountains to chop firewood. Lian was greeting guests at home, and Wu was the only one who came to call. The two of them quickly followed Wu back home.
"Wu Ma, who is here?"
"Go back to the girl, it's Shopkeeper Niu who's here, but he also brought a young man here, and Shopkeeper Niu said he's their boss."
Su Yu understood as soon as she heard that it must be Mr. Bai, the boss of Taihe Building, who was back, but what she didn't expect was that Mr. Bai would come to her door in person.
As soon as the father and daughter entered the courtyard, they saw a young man dressed in white sitting on a stool, while Mrs. Lian was sitting next to the young man in white. They didn't know what they were saying at this moment, Ms. Lian was smiling happily.
Su Yu was surprised. My mother was a bit introverted. She basically only said hello to guests at home, but now she was having a pleasant chat with this young man Bai.
It was the father and daughter who were first discovered by Shopkeeper Niu who was sitting nearby.
"My boss, Master Su and Miss Su are back."
Just now, the young man in white clothes had his back to the father and daughter. Su Yu did not see his appearance clearly. Now the young man in white clothes turned around and looked over, and Su Yu saw his appearance clearly. He was a handsome young man, and for some reason Yes, Su Yu felt like she had seen her somewhere.
Bai Yan saw the father and daughter standing at the door. The dark-faced man looked honest, while the girl next to him had a beautiful face and an aura in her eyes, which made people feel happy.
Bai Yan quickly stood up from the chair.
"Master Su, Miss Su."
"Let me introduce to you two, this is the young master of our Taihe Building."
"It turns out to be Mr. Bai. I heard from Shopkeeper Niu that you have gone on a long trip, and I don't think you will come back until the end of the year. I was also thinking of visiting my house during the Chinese New Year, but I didn't expect that Mr. Bai came first."
"Originally I didn't come back until the end of the year, but things over there were going smoothly, so I came back early. I heard Shopkeeper Niu mention Miss Su many times in my letters, and I wanted to meet her for a long time. When I met today, Miss Su was indeed the same as me. Different.”
As they spoke, they sat in the courtyard again.
"Master Bai is chatting with Yu'er, and I'll go to the kitchen to have a look. Master Bai will have lunch at home today."
"Madam said so, how could Bai have any reason not to keep it?"
Mrs. Lian happily took Mrs. Wu to work in the kitchen. She knew her own craftsmanship, so she was just helping out, and Mrs. Wu had to do the cooking.
Su Lao Er was accompanying him, mostly chatting with Shopkeeper Niu. Looking at the two people who were talking enthusiastically, Su Lao Er became more and more pleased with Mr. Bai. Although he was not very old, he looked similar to Brother Sheng, but he had His ability and status are not low, and he doesn't have the arrogance to look down on others at all.
While Bai Yan was talking to Su Yu, he did not neglect Su Lao Er who was standing aside. He would occasionally ask a few questions about farming matters. These were things Su Lao Er knew and was good at, so he could still say a few words.
Su Yu felt that Mr. Bai in front of him was worthy of being a businessman. As long as it was about business, Mr. Bai in front of him could understand everything at once and draw inferences. The more the two of them chatted, the more they became more speculative. It felt like they had met so late. .
"Miss Su, the business of your farm shop is really good. Have you ever thought about opening a few more branches in Dazhou?"
"You also know the situation of my family. We should talk about this later."
The main thing is that Su Yu feels that she is still young and her brother is unable to make up his mind. If something happens in the business, she can't just go wherever she wants like Bai Yan in front of her. She would be more passive, and it would be better to hang out for two years first, at least until she is seventeen or eighteen years old, and others will no longer regard her as a yellow-haired girl.
Listening to the tone of Su Yu's words, Bai Yan knew that she had given it some thought. Considering Su Yu's age, Bai Yan could understand. It would be fine to wait for another year or two. As for intervening in the business of Su's farm shop, Bai Yan has never thought about this. He has made a lot of money just from roast duck toothbrushes. He also sees what Miss Su does. He is afraid that the business will not be successful in the future. He is much younger than him, and he is not short of money. Bai Yan feels that his conscience will be uneasy if he picks the fruits of the Su family.
"There are many rich families in Kyoto City. Miss Su can make more bacon. Yesterday, the steward of Prince An's Mansion came to your shop and bought a lot of bacon. It was already spread in the city when I left the city. , the business in your shop will only be better today."
As soon as Bai Yan mentioned the steward of Prince An's Mansion, Su Yu thought that the steward who spent a lot of money yesterday must be the steward of Prince An's Mansion. Su Yu had also heard about King An for a long time. He was the younger brother of Emperor Anqing. Since his eldest brother was the emperor and his mother was the Queen Mother, it could be said that as long as King An did not rebel, he would be rich and worry-free in his life. Politically, he was mediocre, but he was very good at eating, drinking and having fun. He wanted to eat the best, and he came up with new tricks every year when it came to playing. King An was now in his thirties, but he still had a lot of fun.
I heard that Prince An was the trendsetter of Kyoto City. As long as something popular in Prince An's Palace would become popular in Kyoto city in a short time, Su Yu would never have thought that the manager who came yesterday was actually from Prince An's Palace.
I thought of what the steward asked yesterday when he entered the shop.
"If my guess is correct, the steward of Prince An's Mansion was introduced by Mr. Bai."
"That's not entirely true. King An once ate the preserved meat you made in our building and thought it was delicious, so I mentioned it and said that your family wanted to open a shop in Kyoto City."
"Anyway, I accept your favor, and I still have two favors, which I will treat as a meeting gift for you."
Su was not stingy when someone was so generous in helping her with business. She asked Yin Jian to go to her room to get pen and ink. After thinking about it, he wrote two recipes on the paper.
Bai Yan suddenly felt his eyes light up as he held the prescription. It was such a beautiful hairpin in small regular script. When he looked at the prescription, he could tell that the ingredients used were extremely complex and exquisite, and the food he made was not much different.
The two of them went back and forth, but Bai Yan was not polite and accepted it generously.
"Yu'er, let Mr. Bai come over for dinner."
The two of them were still chatting, and time passed too quickly. They actually chatted for more than an hour.
At the dinner table, the three members of the Su family sat at the same table as the shopkeeper Bai Yanniu. The kitchen was small, so the food was placed in the yard. Fortunately, it was sunny today and it didn't feel cold.
Thinking of the wine she brewed, her parents brought her several jars when they came from Yujiacun.
"Yin Jian, go to my room and get a jar of wine."
"Yes, girl."
Bai Yan, who was sitting next to him, suddenly became interested when he listened to the wine.
"Did the wine Miss Su mentioned come from the Western Regions?"
"Master Bai, try it then and see if it's different from the wine you usually drink."
Yin Jian brought a small jar of wine over and poured a glass for everyone at the table.
"Mr. Bai, let's have a drink."
Su Laoer held the wine glass and drank all the wine in one gulp. Bai Yan first held the glass to his nose and smelled it, then took a sip, and finally drank all the wine in the glass.
"What do you think, Mr. Bai?"
