Chapter 289 Do a good job, you are indispensable for the year-end dividend
A group of people followed Lu Jingshu to the south of the city. The restaurant that Lu Jingshu said opened in the best location on Chengnan Street, and the letter was written in four characters on the water side. At this time, there was a long queue at the entrance of the restaurant.
Lu Jingshu was dumbfounded for a moment: "This... how do we get in!" Could it be that we have to declare our identity and go through the back door?
Shen Mingjiao glanced at the well-decorated restaurant, and said, "As long as you have money."
Lu Jingshu's eyes lit up: "What the princess means is that you can add money to jump in the queue!"
Shen Mingjiao: "...That's right!" She pointed to the three mother and child in the front row, and glanced at Haitang.
Haitang understood, stepped forward, took out five silver coins from her purse, and said something to the woman with the child,
The woman glanced at the silver in Haitang's hand, a little displeased, Haitang took out another five coins from her purse.
The woman was obviously overjoyed when she saw this, she stuffed the number plate into Haitang's hand, took the money and dragged the child away without hesitation.
Lu Jingshu was dumbfounded: "It's okay!" She was a little puzzled:
"The woman waited in line for such a long time, and she agreed for a tael of silver!" If she must be killed, she would not be happy.
A group of people walked forward, Shen Mingjiao asked her back: "Then if it was you, why would someone give you five hundred taels of silver?"
Lu Jingshu nodded without thinking: "Of course I do, five hundred taels can buy a lot of things." After speaking, she realized,
Shen Mingjiao explained as she walked: "People at the bottom can only earn fifty coins a day when they go to the wharf to work as coolies. One tael of silver can be enough for an ordinary family to live for two or three months. Just now, the woman was wearing a fine cotton padded coat and had a silver root stuck in her head. The hairpin is obviously from a wealthy family with some spare money."
At this time, the people in front of the line go in, and it's their turn. The spacious lobby was crowded with people, Xiao Er took the number plate and led the group to a table in the corner separated by a screen.
A group of people went to get food, Lu Jingshu looked at the customers coming and going, and said casually: "If this store is opened in the east of the city where rich and powerful people gather, the business will definitely be better."
Fuguang, who had been silent for a long time, rarely spoke: "No, most of the people living in the south of the city are small rich families or merchants. They have spare money but not much, so they want to take advantage of it. And the real rich people, they and When it comes to food, people often pay attention to the taste and color, but not money. Unless they work **** the ingredients and make it into a high-end restaurant."
She looked at the small stove and grill set up on the table, and said in admiration: "The owner of this store is a smart person. He can not only come up with such a novel method, but also find the right location."
Shen Mingjiao looked at the unfamiliar decoration in the lobby, and knew without thinking that this must be Su Qing's idea again. After all, the name "On the water side" is too inconsistent with the names of restaurants and restaurants nowadays, so she casually asked the waiter who helped fuel the fire: "Is your boss's surname Ye?"
Xiao Er raised his head in surprise: "Madam, how do you know?" Then he straightened his back proudly: "Madam is right, our host is the Ye family, the richest businessman in Jiangnan..."
The waiter wanted to continue talking, but the store was too busy, so he was quickly called away by the customers.
Lu Jingshu picked up a bun and took a bite, then frowned, perhaps because she was expecting too much before, but now she really tried it, and she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
"It's so unpalatable!"
Shen Mingjiao was not surprised, she took a string of tofu and put it on the iron rack, turning it back and forth to roast. "Doing so much food at the same time, I don't know how refined it will be?"
Haitang stuffed a steamed stuffed bun into her mouth, and said vaguely, "It's delicious!"
She laughed and ordered the huge pile of food on the table: "Whether we can get back our money today depends on you, Haitang?"
Hearing the words, Haitang patted her belly proudly: "Don't worry, girl, I promise to complete the task! I am the most edible girl in our ten miles and eight towns." Her tone was quite proud.
Watching the little girl eat a piece of pie that was bigger than her face in a few mouthfuls, Shen Ming was silent for a while, and choked out a sentence: "...it's pretty good, it's a blessing to be able to eat it!"
At this time, a man sitting on the other side of the screen moved his ears. He talked to his companion on the table, then stood up and walked over with his head slightly lowered. Seeing Shen Mingjiao sitting in the middle, he subconsciously wanted to salute.
Looking at the noise around her, she immediately realized that she only lowered her head and called out to Madam.
Shen Mingjiao looked up when she heard the sound, and saw that it was Feng Wansheng. I haven't seen him for a few days, Feng Wansheng seems to be a different person, because of his natural appearance, although he still looks a little wretched when looking at people with a pair of three white eyes, his speech and behavior are less serious than before.
She nodded with a smile, and asked casually, "Come here for dinner?"
Feng Wansheng swallowed nervously: "Yes! Together with a few friends from the past..."
Seeing her looking over with a smile in her eyes, Feng Wansheng rubbed his palms nervously, murmuring not knowing what to say.
Shen Mingjiao looked at him speechlessly: "Seeing that you are usually very courageous, why are you so afraid of me every time you see me?"
Feng Wansheng lowered his head and smiled coyly: "...No, no!"
Anyone can hear the guilt in his tone, can you not feel guilty? When Shen Mingjiao and Feng Lisheng were just married, there were a lot of fan stories in the market based on Su Wang and the princes.
And he followed suit and wrote a lot, all of which were written by Hei Shen Mingjiao without exception.
Now that he is working under Princess Su, it is needless to mention his guilt and embarrassment.
He hesitated for a while, and only choked out a sentence: "...Last month's account book has been sent to the palace. Madam, do you think there is something wrong?"
Shen Mingjiao brushed some sauce on the baked tofu, and praised sincerely: "No problem, you did a good job."
Seeing Feng Wansheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, Shen Mingjiao earnestly encouraged him: "Work hard, you will be indispensable for the dividend at the end of the year."
This matter started more than two months ago, when Feng Lisheng had just left, she always felt a little uncomfortable in doing things, so she wanted to find some story books to pass the time.
However, the book is too old, and she feels that she has read most of the same type of book on the market.
Perhaps it was too busy during that time, so she had an idea,
Someone called Feng Wansheng, and planned to open a bookstore selling story books.
It is not difficult to find a shop. There are many under the name of Su Wangfu, but the difficulty is to find a group of authors who are good at writing scripts and can innovate.
Coincidentally, Feng Wansheng happened to know several people of this type. Shen Mingjiao asked him to go back and ask anyone who is interested to write a story outline and the beginning, no matter what the subject matter is, if she likes it, she will be paid one tael a month, and the other books will be sold for fifty-five cents .
As a result, she diverted her thinking and asked people to release the news. Within a few days, Feng Wansheng, who was in charge of the matter, received many submissions. There are even some articles written extremely well, no less than those famous travel notes.
