"The mutton is delicious, fresh but not sour, the fish fillets are also very delicious, and the duck intestines are so chewy and crispy..."
Xu Ziwen commented while eating, so beautiful that his eyes narrowed.
Although Xu Zilan couldn't stand her brother's useless appearance, the hot pot was really delicious. Jiang Miao poured her a cup of peach juice and a cup of sour plum soup, with watermelon on the side. If she ate too much meat, she could eat some fruit to relieve her tiredness.
, Xu Zilan was full before she knew it.
"Fortunately, we are far away. If I eat so much every day, I will become a fat man sooner or later."
Since there was no one else in the box, she slumped down on the chair, leaving all her previous noble demeanor behind.
"Sister Lan is joking. I eat these every day and I don't gain weight."
Jiang Miao blanched a slice of potato. The newly ripe potato was very fresh, fragrant and crispy when dipped in seasoning. Jiang Miao ate two slices in a row before putting down her chopsticks.
"Hey, I wish I were like you. No matter how much I eat, I won't gain weight..."
Xu Zilan looked at Jiang Miao with envy. She didn't know how this little lady looked. She had big breasts and a slim waist, with a face the size of a palm. No matter how much she ate, she only gained weight in the right places. She was almost jealous.
"Hey, if sister is afraid of getting fat, I will make you a weight-loss meal, which will be just as delicious."
Most young ladies in ancient times stayed close to home. They not only exercised a lot but also ate light snacks, so most of them were slim. However, they also extended a sinful hand and promoted delicious food to the whole country.
Most of these delicacies are heavy and spicy, delicious and appetizing. If the little lady is used to her food and only eats without exercising, she will easily gain weight. When the time comes, she will take the opportunity to launch a weight loss business, which will kill two birds with one stone.
.
Jiang Miao secretly praised herself, but she didn't expect that she still had the potential to be a profiteer.
"You!"
Xu Zilan was amused by her and nodded her forehead. What would happen if Jiang Miao had such a pure and kind temperament and no one would protect her, especially now that Shen Yanqing's outstanding political achievements have attracted the attention of others, and Jiang Miao's safety is also threatened.
"I'm just here to eat, and I haven't asked you if your injury is serious?"
When Xu Zilan heard that she had been splashed with hot oil, her face turned pale and she almost fainted. Later, Jiang Miao wrote a letter telling her that it was nothing serious.
ointment, I'm afraid Jiang Miao won't get good treatment.
"Thank you to Sister Lan for your concern. My injuries have completely healed. You see, the scars have faded."
The woman's wrists are white and delicate, and the newly grown skin is light pink and does not look out of place. After applying the ointment for half a month, it will probably all disappear.
"That's good. Has the murderer been caught?"
Xu Zilan held her hand and asked with a solemn expression. She didn't know who was so crazy that she could think of such a way to harm her.
"The woman who poured hot oil on her committed suicide. The murderer behind her was not caught...but she also received some punishment."
The Xu family brothers and sisters were not outsiders. Jiang Miao told them everything about Sun Hao's plot to murder her, as well as Shen Yanqing's treatment of Sun Hao.
"It's actually related to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Is this coming for Mr. Shen, or for you?"
Xu Zilan heard that Sun Hao had some connection with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her heart tightened. Although Shen Yanqing had some abilities, his official position was low after all, and Prime Minister Liu was so powerful that there was no need to use such despicable methods to deal with a minor official.
"Could it be Liu Ruyan?"
Xu Zilan suddenly had an idea and thought of a candidate. When they were in the capital, Liu Ruyan had made things difficult for Jiang Miao in every possible way and hated her to the core. This method was more like what she did.
Jiang Miao also thought about Xu Zilan's guess that the noble girl from the aristocratic family in the original book and the heroine she met were completely two people, and she seemed to have a strong hatred for herself.
"No matter who it is, the murderer will always reveal his clues. I will act more cautiously in the future."
Jiang Miao patted Xu Zilan's hand to comfort her. She was not a simple and innocent fool. If someone harmed her, she would retaliate in kind.
"Then what plans do you and Master Shen have?"
Jiang Miao's eyes were a little colder, "The situation is special now. The emperor has not summoned the husband to the capital yet, and we cannot go to the capital at will. But sooner or later we will go to the capital. By then, if it is really her who did it Hands and feet, then my husband and I won’t be polite either!”
"As long as you know what's going on, if you need help, just tell me and my brother!"
"good."
The two were talking.
Xu Ziwen, who was next to him, clicked his tongue and said, "Zilan, don't worry about Mrs. Shen. Master Shen is here! Anyone who dares to offend him will definitely not end well!"
Xu Ziwen couldn't help feeling cold when he thought that Shen Yanqing actually had one of Sun Hao's hands cut off.
After that, he lowered his head and just focused on eating. His stomach was full after eating, and he was still a little unsatisfied when looking at the remaining dishes on the table.
"Hey, it would be great if I could eat this hot pot every day. Otherwise, I will ask the emperor to send me to Zhenjiang Mansion as an official. I don't want any important position. I just want to be a master for Brother Shen. As long as I can eat delicious food every day..."
The more he talked about it, the more he thought this idea was wonderful. He never thought that he would not even be able to see the emperor, let alone that the emperor would listen to him and arrange an official position for him.
Xu Zilan looked at him with disgust.
"What a wonderful idea you have. You don't even think about whether you have the ability. All you want to do is eat all day long. Master Shen can't bear to let you be the master."
Xu Zilan mocked her brother for being merciless, which made Xu Ziwen blush with anger. She muttered at the corner of her mouth for a moment but gave up.
"Hmph, if a good man doesn't fight with a woman, Brother Shen will definitely want me anyway!"
Jiang Miao held a cup of sour plum soup and smiled as she watched their bickering. The two of them seemed to be having a cross talk, which was very funny.
"Sister-in-law, you can judge, am I more than enough to serve as Brother Shen's master?"
Although he is a bit greedy, he is not a lazy, ignorant person. He can do well in editing and editing in the Hanlin Academy, but why can't he be a master of Shen Yanqing? Xu Zilan's words really hurt his self-esteem.
Jiang Miao was pulled into the battlefield, and Xu Zilan also looked at her, not allowing her to say good things to Xu Ziwen. Jiang Miao was in a dilemma. In the final analysis, the problem still came from food.
"Xu Langjun must be outstanding in talent and learning if he can pass the Jinshi examination. But being a master would be overkill. It's easy for you to eat delicious food..."
"Oh, sister-in-law, please tell me how easy it is?"
Xu Ziwen was praised by Jiang Miao and his mood immediately improved. He just said, not everyone is as blind as Xu Zilan.
"I plan to open a hot pot restaurant in Beijing, and I just need a partner."
"If Miaoya wants to open a shop, come to me. The business of Xiang Fang we jointly opened is so good, this hot pot restaurant will also be popular."
When Xu Zilan heard that Jiang Miao was going to open another store, she no longer worried about going against Xu Ziwen. She was now very interested in doing business, and the success of Xiangfang gave her a lot of confidence.
"Sister-in-law, you can't be partial. Last time I did business with Zilan, it's my turn this time!"
Xu Ziwen also did his part. The Xu family was naturally interested in business. Although he entered the officialdom, he would still help Xu's father take care of the shop when he had time. Especially Jiang Miao was still in the food business, so he wanted to join.
"Well, I really want to cooperate with Xu Langjun this time."
Jiang Miao nodded slightly, and Xu Zilan tugged on her sleeve.
"Miaoya!"
"Sister Lan, listen to me first..." Jiang Miao patted her hand to comfort her.
"This food business is different from the women's business. It is busier and more tiring, and most of the people who go to restaurants to eat are men. Xu Langjun is in officialdom and has connections. He has a cheerful and generous temperament. When the time comes, he will help us promote it.
The hot pot restaurant will definitely become famous soon, and although Xu Langjun and I jointly opened the restaurant, Sister Lan can become a shareholder, so she doesn’t have to worry about getting dividends every month. This kind of dirty and tiring work will be left to their men.
Go do it!”
Hotpot restaurants are different from Xiangfang. After all, they are in ancient times. Most of the people who eat out are men. Although Jiang Miao wants to change the status quo, it is not something that can be accomplished overnight. She wants to cooperate with Xu Ziwen because of his abilities and connections.
Xu Zilan thought about Jiang Miao's words carefully and felt that it made sense. Just as Jiang Miao said, she could buy shares and get dividends, which would count as her participation.
"Humph, it's an advantage for him."
Although she had agreed in her heart, Xu Zilan never forgot to take advantage and gave her brother a rollicking look. Xu Ziwen was not angry at all. Being scolded was nothing. He was about to open his own shop anyway. Nothing was more embarrassing than this.
People are happy.
Xu Ziwen didn't expect that he would come to have a hot pot meal and move out of the restaurant.
"Then I'll send a message back immediately and ask someone to find a shop first. I need help from my sister-in-law to open the shop."
"Okay, Da Lang is more experienced in this matter. When the time comes, let him keep an eye on the decoration and training work for you. I will provide the hot pot base. You just need to do a good job in the management."
The cooperation proposed by Jiang Miao was similar to a franchise. Although they opened the shop together, the name of the hotpot restaurant was still Jiang Ji. Initially, Jiang Miao was afraid that Xu Ziwen would not be willing to do so. After all, he was the heir to the Xu family, and there was no reason for his own shop to bear someone else's name.
But I didn’t expect Xu Ziwen’s free and easy smile.
"Why would I care? My sister-in-law provided me with the food recipes. This is my sister-in-law's shop. I'm lucky to get a share of the pie. I'm not satisfied with anything."
"Okay, then I wish our business success in advance!"
Jiang Miao raised her glass. She was lucky to meet such sincere friends.
"Okay, I wish our business success and wealth!"
Jiang Miao didn't know it yet, but her business map had just begun.
