Song Qiu's eyebrows moved and he asked the old lady.
This Chen family was indeed the Chen family she knew.
The Chen family is also a favorite in Fucheng.
When Song Qiu asked about the Chen family, a woman next to him also continued what the old woman said and started chattering.
"This ordinary family would have to fight to divide the property of three melons and two dates, let alone the Chen family. The Chen family is also a big merchant in Fucheng and has a lot of money! Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen are both direct descendants.
, it’s just that one is born from the first child, and the other is born from the step-sibling, not from the same belly. How can they be brothers and sisters? That’s all superficial. When it comes to family wealth, it’s like fighting cocks.
!”
"Mr. Chen broke his leg a few days ago. Even after he was cured, he was still a lame. No, within two days, the eldest son of Mr. Chen had a fight with someone in the brothel over the top card.
I accidentally broke my hand, and if I say it’s okay, it’s not necessarily true!”
"Over the years, there have been a lot of petty quarrels, but we just didn't talk about it in a big way, but who among us Fucheng people doesn't know the dirty things inside?
Master Chen's son married the daughter of Xian Fulai's boss, and then Master Chen married his eldest daughter to the son of the Luo family's weaving workshop.
Here, Mr. Chen has opened a doubanjiang workshop, and over there, Mr. Chen has opened a red oil workshop. Doesn’t Fangji also sell these two kinds? I heard that that is the most authentic one, from
Panshizhen Songji's business will naturally not get better.
I heard that the two brothers of the Chen family are just trying to hold back their energy. It depends on who can do the business well and make more money, then who will Mr. Chen pass on the big business to?
No, Mr. Chen Er fell in love with Yuanwai Su. He had to marry his 28-year-old daughter to Yuanwai Su, an old man who could be his own father. Wasn't it just to find a strong backer so that he could be with his eldest brother?
Let's fight! It's a pity that Mr. Chen has no daughter, and his two sons are married. If he wants to learn this skill, he probably won't be able to do it."
Seeing how this woman talks about the Chen family without any hiccups, you can tell that the Chen family is really famous in the city and everyone knows about it.
It was because Panshi Town was far away and she didn't ask specifically about it at first, so she didn't know.
After listening to the woman's words, Song Qiu thought that the Chen family had no further action. He guessed that it was the Chen family brothers who were fighting fiercely. If you don't let me, I won't let you. No one wants to let anyone get this recipe first.
.
If these two people were united, I'm afraid they would have attacked her long ago.
They were restraining each other, and Fang Jie was helping behind the scenes, so the fire didn't burn her.
Fortunately, she chose to cooperate with Fang Hui at that time, otherwise, without Fang Hui's help, her business would have been in big trouble long ago.
Naturally, if Fang Jie wants to profit from it, he will not allow anyone else to sell these two things.
As long as she maintains her cooperation with Fang Jie, she doesn't need to worry too much about these trivial matters.
You should be careful, but you can also free up your hands to do other things without having to worry about it all the time.
She is quite satisfied with this partner.
After the sedan chair was blown all the way, the street started to flow smoothly. Song Qiu smiled and said goodbye to the two people who were still chatting lively, and the carriage continued to move forward.
Two-quarters of an hour later, we crossed the Qingque Bridge and entered the more prosperous Fucheng.
Fucheng is larger than both Dongling counties, and the criss-crossing streets and alleys are dazzling. People who come back for the first time will really not be able to figure out the direction if they don't ask for directions.
It was already noon, and the group of people were all hungry. There were many restaurants in the market passing by, and the aromas filled the air, making them even hungrier.
Walking straight along Fujiang Street, at an intersection, you can see a grand restaurant with three floors and six bays at a glance.
Here is Xianfu Lai, the largest restaurant in Fucheng.
The relationship with Xian Fulai started as early as last year when she first opened the inn. Since then, Xian Fulai has taken care of a lot of business for her, and this year it was a big deal.
Song Qiu had known the name of Xianfu Lai for a long time, but he had never been there. After finally coming to Fucheng this time, he naturally wanted to go to Xianfu Lai to see it.
I heard that Xian Fulai does not sit in the lobby, but eats in a separate private room. The food is good, so a casual table costs no less than ten taels of silver.
Song Qiu still doesn't care about ten taels of silver. Last year, when she couldn't make ends meet, she and Lihua almost had to eat the five taels of silver a table at Jingweizhai.
Now that she has money, wouldn't it be a pity that she hasn't seen the largest restaurant in Fucheng after walking through it?
The guests who come to Xianfu Lai for dinner are all rich or noble. Like Song Qiu, the three little girls who look like the masters walking in the front are only dressed in ordinary cotton silk, and they are no match for the maids from other families who come with the masters.
Woolen cloth.
Then there were a bunch of servants following behind, so they followed him, but this servant followed him into the private room and sat down to eat at the same table as the master. The restaurant waiter didn't know what to say.
The servants from other families who came to serve him would either wait outside or enter the private room and stand aside to serve the dishes.
Song Qiu seemed unaware, and quickly ordered a table of dishes after the waiter announced the names of the dishes.
Although she has money, she should not waste it if she doesn't want to waste it. This private room also has to be reckoned with money. It costs a penny more to open an extra room.
There were twelve of them, and the table was big enough to fit them all.
As for the rule that masters and servants cannot share the same table, why are you talking about so many rules when you are away from home?
She didn't care, but the Tao brothers and others felt very warm in their hearts. With such a good master, their boss, if they didn't work hard and down-to-earth, they would really be sorry for their boss's generosity.
The dishes came quickly, and the middle dish was a pot of boiled fish. The soup was bright red in color and rich in fragrance.
Song Qiu took some fish fillets and tasted them, and nodded secretly. With the bean paste and dried chili peppers, Xianfulai's boiled fish tasted no worse than hers.
Otherwise, he is the chef of a big restaurant. His cooking skills are naturally not something he can just build.
In addition to the dishes that require bean paste and dried chili peppers, there is also a stewed squab, which I heard is Xian Fulai's specialty soup. The taste is so fresh that Song Qiu drank a bowl more.
Before there were bean paste and dried chili, Xian Fulai was already a famous restaurant. It's just that with these, the dishes are richer and the icing on the cake.
So fortunately, she only pursues the service store. If she really works hard to open restaurants in prosperous areas, she may not be able to do it as well as these old-style restaurants. Everyone has their own characteristics.
Otherwise, how could we gain a foothold?
Almost everyone in the group had huge appetites, and there was not much left from the dishes on the table.
I didn’t drink, so the final bill was almost ten taels of silver.
Manager Qi, who was in charge of handling business with her, was not here, and the shopkeeper did not know Song Qiu. Song Qiu did not introduce himself as a family member, and settled the bill without missing a penny.
The waiter who had previously entertained them looked at them and murmured in his heart. He thought they were eating a king's meal. For ten taels of silver, he didn't even blink. It was obvious that he was from a wealthy family. Even the rules of master and servant eating at the same table were not very particular.
.
However, there is a secret feeling of envy in my heart. Why?
