Go ahead and hear what business he can work with. ”Meng Jiaojiao only thought about it for a while and decided to go to Dongsheng Restaurant tomorrow, without Yang Qiu'e's persuasion.Originally, Yang Qiu'e still wanted to persuade her, thinking that she would scruple to refuse because the other party was a man, but she didn't have time to say what she wanted to persuade."
Okay, let's see what he has in mind, it just so happens that I've been quite idle lately."
According to the promised hour, I came to Dongsheng Restaurant, and as soon as I got off the carriage at the door, I saw Cui Mingyao's little servant Luhe."
Little Lu He greets Mrs.
Zhao and Miss Yang, please come in the two, my lord is already waiting for the two of you in the private room upstairs."
It is very normal for merchants like the Cui family and the Liao family to want to be friendly with Zhao Chonglin, the merchants have money but no power position, Zhao Chonglin is a newcomer in the officialdom, although there are young adults as the backstage but they have no foundation, it is most appropriate for them to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses.At the beginning, Meng Jiaojiao didn't understand this truth, and only thought that business could be done without violating the law and morality, and she didn't pressure herself to do more.It was Yang Qiu'e who broke the key to this with her, and only then did she understand that there were still so many twists and turns.When I saw Cui Mingyao at that moment, I had to distinguish carefully, I couldn't do business, and I definitely couldn't make trouble for Zhao Chonglin.When he saw Cui Mingyao, he didn't directly mention cooperation, but introduced them to the signature dishes of the restaurant, and the conversation was not like a gesture of asking for cooperation, but as casual as an old friend who had known each other for many years.It was his posture that made Meng Jiaojiao and Yang Qiu'e slowly relax, not thinking about cooperation or not, and tasting and eating with their hearts.Yu eats Meng Jiaojiao does not have multiple appetites, and so does Zhao Chonglin, in contrast, Zhao Chonglin can be said to be not a picky eater, he eats whatever he wants, he feels fragrant when he eats, and he can eat more when he has a good appetite.As the January period approaches, Meng Jiaojiao will always think of Zhao Chonglin inadvertently like this, and she really misses him."
I have a light taste, but when I came to the southwest, I found that I also love the spicy taste of pepper, and there is nothing I am not used to eating.If you have the opportunity, you must invite the two of you to try Yangzhou's dishes, crystal meat and lion's head are must-eat famous dishes.We have a variety of ways to eat aquatic products, so we can ensure that you will not get tired of eating any matter how you go. ”Cui Mingyao is worthy of being a businessman, and he is provoking the topic throughout the dinner, which will not make people think that he is frivolous and will not make the situation look embarrassing.Most of the time, Yang Qiu'e is talking to him, and when Meng Jiaojiao is interested, she will also pick up a few words.After the five flavors of the dish, Cui Mingyao got to the point, "Today, Cui took the liberty to invite the two of you to come here because there is a business that I want to invite the two of you to work together."
Cui is interested in buying and selling teahouses and restaurants, and wants to bring Yangzhou cuisine to the boundary of Fucheng, but he has no idea ability.I heard that Miss Yang had the ability and means to have connections, so she asked the two for cooperation with a shy face. ”He was talking about Yang Qiu'e, but his eyes were between the two.Cui is an authentic businessman, since the age of sixteen he went out to walk all over the world, likes to make friends, love to see strange and lively, and is also keen on local customs.If the two of them are interested, Cui also has a bold idea, which is to form a caravan to walk everywhere, by land and water.I first went here from Yangzhou to pilot, what do you think?
”When he was in Yunyan County, he didn't dare to think about it, but when he met him again in Fucheng, he got up and asked people to find out about them, especially Meng Jiaojiao and his wife.If he can pass on the river, he can save a lot of trouble, and he naturally has a way to get to Yangzhou.When he has a cooperative relationship with them, it will be more convenient for him to get to know Meng Jiaojiao again.The incense she made is so similar, and after more than ten years, she finally has a clue, and she has to catch everything."
The Biluochun of Dongsheng Restaurant is also very famous, I'll go and let people prepare."
Cui Mingyao deliberately avoided leaving time for the two to discuss, and he was not in a hurry to ask for their answers.Even if they refused this time, he would think of another way.After the door was closed, Meng Jiaojiao and Yang Qiu'e glanced at each other, and neither of them was in a hurry to speak, but continued to eat slowly and methodically.It wasn't until Cui Mingyao pushed the door in again, and after tasting the tea, Meng Jiaojiao said: "Give Master Cui an answer in five days, is it okay?"
”"Okay, then Cui is waiting for the good news of the two."
Sitting in the carriage home, Meng Jiaojiao discussed with Yang Qiu'e, "Check the details of this person first." ”On the morning of the second day, Lu He sent a deed to Zhao's house, which clearly stated the route of the trading house, which was divided into two lines: water and land.There is also the expenditure and profit sharing of the cooperation between the two sides, which is very carefully written, and it can be seen that a lot of thought has been put into it.Yang Qiu'e has always been thoughtful, "The more he is like this, the more rigorous we become, I have already asked people to go back to Yunyan County to investigate, and I will not relax here." ”Two days later, the people who went to Yunyan County to investigate did not come back, but received a letter from Meng Xiaohe.first said that she was married, and when she got married in the autumn, she invited Meng Jiaojiao and her husband to go back to eat wine.said some private words, and a little secret of getting along with her fiancé, and finally said that Meng Yunyun came back a few days ago, and she was already pregnant for four months, and she showed off in the village that she was well married and enjoyed happiness in her husband's family, but she didn't see her husband come back with her.After replying to Meng Xiaohe, Meng Jiaojiao estimated the feasibility of the firm with Yang Qiu'e, and when the investigator came back, Cui Mingyao only lived in Yunyan County for more than half a month, and he was there to play.I didn't live in Fucheng for long, but I arrived in Fucheng in March last year, during which he traveled around the county as he said.In the past few days, I have been focusing on this matter, completely forgetting that it has passed the time when Zhao Chonglin should come back.It was still Zhao Chongliang who muttered, "The second brother said that he would return in a month, but he hasn't returned for thirty-two days today." ”Meng Jiaojiao suddenly remembered this important matter, and after being stunned, she couldn't help but start worrying.Yang Qiu'e saw that her expression was not good, so she first glared at Zhao Chongliang, who was talking nonsense, and then said in a relaxed tone, "It's normal to go in and out for three or five days, but it's a month, but in fact, this time can't be set at all, and there are more than half a month and a month."
It's only been a day, what's the panic, maybe tomorrow will arrive, and it may be another half a month to come back. ”Meng Jiaojiao suddenly remembered that Zhao Chonglin did say it for at least a month.I didn't think about it, and the next moment I heard Wang Quanxi's surprised voice, "The master is back!"
”Zhao Chongliang was the first to rush out, "Brother!
”The man ran in the doorway and suddenly stopped, as if he was frozen by something."
Brother, who is she?"
Zhao Chongliang looked at his brother in disbelief, and then looked at the beautiful woman standing with his brother.The woman was dressed in satin and was glamorous, and looking at the weak willow Fufeng, she was definitely not a subordinate, but like a woman that his brother was provoking outside.Zhao Chonglin wanted to hit him with his younger brother's questioning eyes, but for the sake of him running out to pick him up, he just pushed him to the side."
Where's your sister-in-law?""
Sister-in-law is at home."
After saying that, Zhao Chongliang regretted it, and quickly grabbed the second brother's arm.said eagerly, "Brother, sister-in-law is at home, you first make it clear who this woman is, what are you bringing her back for?"
”Meng Jiaojiao and Yang Qiu'e were stunned when they heard this sentence as soon as they arrived in the courtyard.It was Yang Qiu'e who glared at Zhao Chonglin first, and walked quickly to the door to see the woman Zhao Chongliang said.At first glance, she also looked at Zhao Chonglin in disappointment, "Second brother?
”"Xianggong is back, hard work, right?
Have you eaten?
I'll ask someone to fetch water to wash the dust of Xianggong. ”In a few breaths, many speculations popped up in Meng Jiaojiao's mind, and in the end, they were all suppressed by her, and she didn't look out of the door, only looked at the man."
Baby, Lao Tzu is back, come and let Lao Tzu hug me."
Zhao Chonglin walked towards the little daughter-in-law who had been thinking about him for a month, and opened his arms to hold the person into his arms.As he approached, Meng Jiaojiao took a step to the side and staggered his arm.Looking at him, he asked lightly, "Xianggong must be tired when he just came back, should he eat first or wash and bathe first?"
”Yang Qiu'e and Zhao Chongliang were not as calm as her, Zhao Chongliang guarded the door and did not let women in, Yang Qiu'e chased after Meng Jiaojiao and questioned."
Zhao Chonglin, first tell me who that woman is?"
As soon as Yang Qiu'e's words fell, a weak and delicate voice came from the door."
Sister-in-law, don't let me misunderstand Brother Zhao, I and Brother Zhao are not the kind of relationship you think."
