On the ground floor of the restaurant, in a spacious and bright secret room. Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning were discussing in a low voice around the drawings. Suddenly, Fang Yuan's ears twitched slightly, and in the next moment, he had already ducked to the door of the secret room, looking alert.
Qu Qingning was about to make a move when the door to the secret room was slowly pushed open. Su Li, wearing black night clothes, walked in calmly. When she saw Fang Yuan beside the door, she hesitated, as if she was slightly frightened. .
Seeing Su Li, Fang Yuan looked slightly relieved and said, "Why didn't you say anything when you came here? How did you get down here?"
"Don't forget who drew the drawings."
Su Li chuckled, sat at the table and asked, "How are you progressing these days?"
Qu Qingning chuckled, came over and said, "Su Li, we are not lazy. You see, the secret room on the underground floor has been built, and even half of the first floor has been built. It has only been seven days, so the speed is not bad, right?"
Su Li nodded slightly, "I was quite surprised when I came here. I didn't expect that the underground floor has been built. In this case, you can start transporting the things from the other courtyard. By the way, how much silver do you still have on hand?"
When Qu Qingning heard this, he immediately felt aggrieved and said: "Su Li, you said you wanted to build the store as quickly as possible, so Fang Yuan and I discussed it and hired double the number of helpers. The cost was naturally higher. This is just the completion of the store. One floor cost a total of fifty thousand taels!”
"Don't worry. I will leave the remaining 200,000 taels to you. Open the shop as soon as possible so that our silver taels will not be like water without a source. It will be gone after use."
Su Li took out the remaining banknotes without blinking. Qu Qingning put it away and couldn't help but secretly marveled. Su Li was so courageous. Isn't she afraid of business failure
"Have you decided on the name of the restaurant?"
Fang Yuan, who had been listening quietly, suddenly asked. The store was about to be built, and it was all Su Li's money, so Su Li naturally had to give it a name.
"I've thought about it a long time ago. The hearty dripping is called 'Linliju'." Su Li smiled with his eyebrows crooked, and a faint light flashed across his eyes when he said this.
Fang Yuan was slightly startled and nodded silently.
Dripping... Ling Li
The atmosphere suddenly became a little dull. Seeing this, Qu Qingning immediately changed the subject and said, "By the way, Su Li, what about those craftsmen? Since you built the underground secret room, naturally you can't let people know about it, but those craftsmen have seen the drawings, so Isn’t it a useless effort?”
Su Li smiled when he heard this, took out a white porcelain bottle and placed it on the stone table.
"When the time comes, let all the craftsmen eat it, no matter what method is used."
Fang Yuan's face darkened, and Qu Qingning's expression immediately changed, pointing to the bottle on the table, "Is this...Isn't this inappropriate? Those people..."
Su Li smiled brightly, opened the bottle, and shook it, "What do you think this is, intestinal poison? If we really poison them all to death, do I still need to open this store?"
Qu Qingning was dumbfounded and scratched his head in embarrassment, "I got it wrong, so what's in it?"
"Let them forget something. The more they eat, the more they forget. You have to watch the dosage when you give it. It is best to control the memory within two months, you know?"
Su Li warned her carefully, and Qu Qingning couldn't help but marvel in her heart, why Su Li had all kinds of weird things there. Even the Southern Border Kingdom, which was famous for its weird and weird ways of poisoning insects, was not as interesting as Su Li's poison.
"Where did she learn the poison technique from? Fang Yuan, can you recognize it?"
After Su Li left, Qu Qingning couldn't help but ask. Fang Yuan shook his head, "If it was a poison technique that everyone knew, how could there be so many magical secrets? Since Su Li didn't tell us, we can't ask."
Qu Qingning rubbed his chin and immediately smiled, "It's so fun to follow Su Li!"
Fang Yuan glanced at him expressionlessly, then looked at Fang Ling who was busy in the secret room, and his eyes softened.
Back at the inn, Su Li carefully checked the signs of the house to make sure no one had been there.
Then she sat down with peace of mind and started the day's practice. Although there was no pill to assist her, her physique was extremely suitable for Guigu Mingjing. She had already practiced Guigu Mingjing to the seventh level quietly, and her training speed was very fast. It was more than twice as fast as it was at the fifth level.
From Dasu Town to Qinghe County, there were constant turmoil, but her cultivation was steadily improving. She had reached the peak of the first level of innateness, and was only a hair away from reaching the second level of innateness.
Such speed was something Su Li had never expected. The skills and personal experiences she practiced in this life were much better than those in her previous life. She didn't know how far the complete Guigu Mingjing could take her.
A night of silence.
The next morning, Su Li got up early and went downstairs to have breakfast, and then walked towards the embroidery shop that had just opened.
There were countless people coming to the embroidery workshop to place embroidery orders every day. The door was open and no one was turned away. Su Li didn't show anyone's identity and easily slipped in.
The moment Su Li disappeared at the gate of the embroidery workshop, Yan Hongxiu and maid Huan'er, whose faces were tightly wrapped, also appeared in front of the door.
"Miss, how did you escape? Don't you have a literature class today?"
Yan Hongxiu was peeking by the door. When she heard Huan'er's words, she immediately said impatiently: "Oh! I saw that old man Ning had dark circles under his eyes, so I gave him some medicine and asked him to have a good sleep! Stop talking. , hurry in. I’m still waiting to see the show!”
Yan Hongxiu's dress is really conspicuous, and if you look carefully, you can still recognize Yan Hongxiu's company. The guard at the embroidery workshop was laughing so hard that his face turned red. He pretended not to see Yan Hongxiu and let her walk in.
Su Li walked into the Xiufang lobby and was immediately drowned by the tide of noise.
As far as the eye can see, there are merchants holding banknotes and orders, crowding in front of the table where the embroidery orders are accepted, and pushing forward desperately.
Ordinary embroidery is not valuable, but high-quality embroidery produced by embroidery workshops, or works embroidered by top embroiderers, cannot help but sell well in China. If it can be shipped to other countries, it can often be sold at high or even sky-high prices!
Therefore, the business of the embroidery workshop is always full every day, and this situation in the hall will continue from the morning until the workshop is closed every day.
Su Li took one look and stopped paying attention. He turned around and called a steward, showing the nameplate of a top embroiderer. The steward's face immediately changed slightly, and he led Su Li to the back hall.
Entering the back hall of Xiufang, the noise faded away and became smaller and smaller.
By the time the steward took her to the embroidery room, the sound had completely disappeared and was replaced by silence.
"Sir, I'm sorry that I don't recognize the embroidery master of which room you are. Can you tell me? I can lead the way."
The person in charge who brought Su Li over was already middle-aged. He thought Su Li was too young to be true, but he didn't dare to go beyond that. The nameplate of a top embroiderer couldn't be faked. Even if she got the nameplate of an adult in her family, he wouldn't do it. will block. The top embroidery master has a respected position in the embroidery workshop, and there is no way he can be offended by a small official matter.
"I don't know where my embroidery room is."
When Su Li said this, the steward secretly said, "In that case, why don't you go to the central hall and wait for your elders to come over? That is the master's living room. It just so happens that the new master will come to inspect today. If you are lucky, miss, We still get to meet each other."
Su Li raised her eyebrows slightly, but said without breaking the point, "Then let's go to the central hall."
The manager immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. If this young lady acted unreasonably, it would be really difficult for him to handle her.
Walking from the back hall to the middle hall, Su Li and the two met many embroidery masters rushing past with embroidery boards in their hands. Many of them pointed at Su Li, obviously curious.
Su Li's expression remained unchanged. The manager was secretly surprised at her young age and calm temperament. At the same time, he was also more and more curious about which top embroiderer she was. The name of the embroiderer was on the back of the nameplate. He just saw it. On the surface, he didn't dare to let Su Li turn over and show him.
"Miss, the nave has arrived."
The steward stopped and pointed to an open room in the backyard wall. Su Li looked over and immediately saw many familiar people. The corner of her mouth curled up slightly, and she stepped in without waiting for the steward to continue leading the way.
When the steward saw the people in the room, his expression immediately changed and he secretly thought something was wrong. But when he thought of Su Li's identity, he still followed him in.
Jin Ruolan was approaching Yan Hongshou, who had a depressed look on her face, when suddenly there was the sound of footsteps in her ears. She turned around and saw the person clearly, her expression immediately changed, "Why are you here? Who asked you to come in? !”
Immediately afterwards, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, and her gaze fell on the steward who was following Su Li. Her angrily voice instantly penetrated the ceiling of the central hall, "Gao Dahai, you are so brave! She is not from the embroidery workshop at all. How dare you bring an outsider in!"
When Gao Dahai heard this, he immediately panicked. He knew Jin Ruolan. She was the daughter of the Jin family. She was unruly and moody. If he fell into the hands of this woman, he would definitely end up miserable.
"me… "
Gao Dahai didn't say anything, so Su Li took a step forward and said with a smile: "Jin Ruolan, I haven't seen you for a day. Your arrogance has skyrocketed. It seems that you didn't take my words to heart at all."
Jin Ruolan smiled coldly when she heard this, "Su Li, what do you think this place is? It's not your Nuan Pavilion, but the embroidery workshop in Qinghe County. If you just break in openly like this, you may be arrested by the government and put in jail. Suffer all the punishment!”
Before Jin Ruolan finished speaking, Yan Hongxiu laughed out loud from behind, "Jin Ruolan, you are really proud of yourself. I'm not from the embroidery workshop, so why don't you punish me?"
Jin Ruolan's expression froze, and she turned around to see Yan Hongxiu with a dangerous smile on her face. She immediately regained her friendly expression, "Hongxiu... Miss! Who dares to arrest you and go to jail in Qinghe City, even if it means having the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard." Su Li is just a commoner, how can he compare with you?"
After saying that, Jin Ruolan turned around and her face suddenly became fierce, "Gao Dahai, what are you doing standing still? Why don't you go and report to the official!"
"ah?"
Gao Dahai was stunned, looking at Su Li tasting the tender meat without suffering any pain, he hesitated for a long time without moving.
When Jin Ruolan saw his reaction, she was about to go crazy, "Bring me someone here! Are you cowards afraid to arrest a pariah who broke into the embroidery workshop?"
As soon as he finished speaking, many stewards who were watching his words rushed out and wanted to catch Su Li. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yan Hongxiu immediately stood up and shouted, "Stop it!"
The weight of the county governor's daughter was naturally more important than that of Jin Ruolan, so the group of stewards immediately stopped and stood aside.
Jin Ruolan was stunned and couldn't figure out why Yan Hongxiu wanted to stop her. Didn't she hate Su Li riding on her head
At this time, Su Li finally moved. She took one step forward, gradually approached Jin Ruolan, and kissed her with her red lips.
"Jin Ruolan, you are reporting to officials one by one and punishing each one. Is it possible that you run this embroidery workshop? Are you not afraid that the owner of the embroidery workshop will have any objections if you override others?"
Jin Ruolan laughed immediately after hearing this and said sarcastically: "Who do you think you are? You can let the workshop owner speak for you? Besides, I also think about the embroidery workshop. Even if the workshop owner knows it, he will praise me, 'Well done' '!"
"No, no, no, if the boss knew, he would never say that."
Su Li shook her head and laughed. She didn't know when she had arrived in the room, and sat in the position of the owner under Jin Ruolan's horrified eyes.
