In fact, there are several shops in her private property, and the income is better than that of "Guilinju", but there is only one restaurant in "Guilinju". It is the most suitable for her to manage now. Pinshu.com ()
The Great Wu Dynasty did not pay attention to honors and no business, and the mistresses of the various prefectures did not have a few shops that made money in their hands.
Even the empress of the dynasty had her secret shop in Shengjing City, but everyone knew it well and no one said it in the open.
If the mistresses of each family can take care of the property in their hands, it is also a manifestation of their ability.
After all, no matter whether it is everyone or a small family, they have to spend money, right
There are also a few shops in Jing'anbo's official account, but they are all in the hands of the eldest wife, Mrs. Zou, so it is difficult for Mrs. He to come. Besides, she also knew some of the details, those shops usually don't have much surplus, it's not easy for the Zou family to be in charge.
So, the old lady thought about it all night before deciding to choose a shop in her private property for the third daughter-in-law to practice.
When Chu Lian got married, let alone a shop, she didn't even have a dowry property, and Mrs. He also knew about her situation.
Although Guilinju is a time-honored brand for decades, it has never been well-known in Shengjing City. It was fine in the early years, and there was a slight surplus every month. According to the division, Guilinju still has the advantage of having a large number of people in Dongshi, at least there will be no shortage of guests. However, after Dongshi changed places, Guilinju's generation became residential houses, and there was no flow of people, and Guilinju's dishes were mediocre, and people gradually lost interest in them.
In recent years, it has been running a monthly deficit. There were originally five waiters in Lin Ju, but now only one is left. Nowadays, if there are three or two guests a day, it is enough to burn incense.
The reason why Mrs. He still let people manage Guilinju is only because of the special affection for it. After all, Guilinju is the dowry of Mrs. Madam, and it was handed over to her by Mrs. Madam’s mother. Well, back then, the name of your restaurant was chosen by the old lady's mother herself.
It has been more than ten years since the mother of the old lady passed away, and Guilinju, a time-honored brand, has become a spiritual sustenance for the old man.
Mrs. He nodded, "Grandmother sees that you have nothing to do at home all day, so I will find something for you to do. You won't blame grandma!"
Chu Lian's eyes widened slightly, "Grandmother wants me to take care of Lin Ju?"
Mrs. He smiled, "This restaurant is my dowry, and it's not doing well now. Third daughter-in-law, if you can revitalize it, grandma will give this restaurant to you. The Linju brand can only be used for restaurant business.”
Isn't this drowsiness coming, someone handed the pillow
She was just looking for a way to make money these few days, and the old matriarch was about to give her a restaurant to run. Chu Lian in the past didn't have such good luck.
In the original book, Chu Lian first obtained the power of the family, and then when the old lady was seriously ill, he obtained several private shops in the old lady's hands through alternative means.
"This is..." Is this true? She is so happy!
But before Chu Lian finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mrs. He.
Mrs. He made a serious face on purpose, "But what, grandma gave it to you, you just keep it, like Dalang and others want it, but grandma doesn't give it to you! Even if the management is not good, grandma doesn't blame you, left and right the restaurant is now It doesn’t make any money either, it’s nothing worse than it is now.”
The old lady misunderstood what Chu Lian meant, and Chu Lian also knew that now was not a good time to explain. The little face blushed a little more because of the joy, and one couldn't help reaching out to pinch it to see if it was as smooth and soft as imagined.
Needless to say, Mrs. He really did this.
Chu Lian was a little embarrassed by being pinched, and called out "grandmother" delicately, after all, she was not at the age of a teenage girl in her heart.
Here, the grandparents and grandchildren get along harmoniously, and Mammy Liu came in with a smile and reported that the grandma brought the two young ladies.
Chu Lian glanced at the ledger and then at Mrs. He, the light in her eyes was clearly mixed with expectation.
Mrs. He smiled, "You are weird, well, when your sister-in-law comes, I will tell her."
After hearing what the old lady said, Chu Lian felt relieved.
Although we can't tell from the original text what this Zou's mind is, but she is Wei Fengzi's close friend after all, and Wei Fengzi is unusual.
In the original text, Mrs. Zou was injured early because of Chu Lian's design, and she couldn't even get out of bed. No conflict of interest.
Regardless of Zou's character, Chu Lian didn't want to affect the balance of sisters-in-law and make Zou hold grudges against her because the old lady gave her an ordinary restaurant.
Now that her husband is no longer by her side, she doesn't want to make an enemy for herself in the inner house, what a difficult life that will be!
Sure enough, Mrs. Zou frowned slightly when she heard that Chu Lian had been here for a while when she entered Qingwei Hall.
She took her two daughters into the flower hall calmly, and when Mrs. Zou saluted, Chu Lian got up and returned the salute with a smile.
Afterwards, Mrs. He opened up and told Chu Lian about running the restaurant. Zou, who was a little nervous, felt relieved after hearing Mrs. He speak so openly to her. .
She has a little understanding of several shops owned by the old lady.
Among them, the most profitable one is a fried tea shop, roughly estimated to earn two or three hundred taels a month, and the worst shop is this "Guilinju". It has been in a loss-making business for many years, and Zou has never understood it. Guilinju doesn't make money, so why doesn't the old matriarch sell the restaurant and sell another restaurant in a densely populated area.
It was just a restaurant that was losing money, and the old matriarch told her bluntly again, but Mrs. Zou didn't care anymore, and even had a much better impression of Chu Lian.
"Daughter-in-law, you have been housekeeper for many years, and the shop in your hand is well-run. If you have nothing to do, please give advice to the third daughter-in-law."
Zou smiled sincerely this time, "As long as the third brother and sister don't dislike me, they can come to my yard anytime."
"Then I would like to thank my sister-in-law first!"
Seeing the two sisters-in-law getting along happily, Mrs. He felt at ease, she looked at the two great-granddaughters again, opened her hands and said, "Sister An, Sister Lin, come to Grandma quickly, let Grandma, take a good look."
Mrs. He lovingly touched the heads of the two little great-granddaughters, but felt a little regretful in her heart. Now that Sister An is six years old, she has not yet been able to embrace a great-grandson. Thinking of this, Yu Guang went to Chu Lian The flat belly took a look.
Ever since Chu Lian came to this Great Wu Dynasty inexplicably, he has been very sensitive to other people's eyes and various smells.
When he found that the old lady was looking at his stomach, his whole body froze, and his whole body was not well.
She had forgotten that in the eyes of Mrs. He, she had a "spring|night" with He Sanlang...
The daughter of the Chu family has a reputation for being good at giving birth. Maybe in the eyes of Mrs. He, she has a good physique that "can be hit with a single shot"...
Chu Lian twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, she was still pregnant, she was clearly still a baby.
It would be scary if she was really pregnant!
Bringing the ledger, Chu Lian went back to his Songtao Garden with Mrs. Zou to make half a cup of tea at Madam Jing'an's.
She has a lot of things to do today, and she needs to make some snacks as a return gift to Mrs. Yang and other wives yesterday, and she also needs to take time to practice calligraphy.
I'm about to run a restaurant, so I can't even read traditional Chinese characters. For the rest of the time, he had to look at Gui Linju's account book.
After going back and putting away the ledger, Chu Lian took Xi Yan and Jing Yan to the small kitchen. The ingredients for birthday peaches were ready, and Chu Lian saw that there were still a lot of red beans left in the small kitchen. When he had an idea, he remembered the old Beijing dim sum "Jingba Pieces".
This is a kind of northern-style dim sum with a long history and a wide variety. When Chu Lian went to Beijing to play, she learned it from an old woman in a courtyard. I lived here for half a month.
Jing Ba Pieces can be divided into big and small Jing Ba Pieces and thin Ba Pieces. The reason why they are called Ba Pieces is that the fillings of each dim sum are different. There are eight pieces in total and eight shapes. It is the best made by Chu Lian so far. Complicated dim sum, but the ingredients used in Jingba are ordinary, even in the Dawu Dynasty with backward food culture, these eight kinds of fillings can be assembled.
Chu Lian instructed Xiyan to pound red bean paste, Jingyan washed the green plums and raisins, and mixed the dough himself.
When the dessert was ready, Xi Yan and Jing Yan stared blankly.
Chu Lian took the small and exquisite oval lace bamboo basket that she had prepared earlier from Nanny Gui who was standing on the corridor outside the kitchen.
Walking to the table, he smiled and said to Xiyan Jingyan: "You guys look after it, I will only do the plate once, and I will leave the rest to you."
Because there are seven or eight families to send to, Chu Lian made a lot of dim sum this time. Chu Lian carefully arranged the dim sum in the shape of kidneys, drummers or bats in the bamboo basket, and finally took a freshly picked half-opened flower. Peony, sprinkle a little water on the petals and put it in the empty place at the foot of the bamboo basket.
In this way, the eight pieces of Beijing are complete.
I saw snacks of various flavors regularly piled up in delicate bamboo baskets. They were already pretty, but they were all crispy snacks made of flour fillings. The color was unavoidably single, but it was paired with a gorgeous red peony , It is instantly eye-catching, especially in such a hot summer, it seems that this snack will have a layer of elegant and light floral fragrance, which makes people want to eat more.
Jing Yan swallowed hard with his eyes wide open, and murmured: "Third...Third grandma, so beautiful! Such a snack, slave... Numaid can't bear to eat it."
Chu Lian smiled and glared at her, "Remember, put the rest on the plate like this, there are still a lot left, after the plate is finished, you can take some to taste together."
When Xi Yan and Jing Yan heard that they still had their share, they all smiled.
The dim sum used as a thank-you gift was sent to Chu Lian after being plated, and Chu Lian selected a brocade box of a moderate size, spread black velvet inside, put the bamboo basket in it, and tied the brocade box. The ladies' jewelry from each mansion was packed in a wooden box of suitable size, handed over to the housekeeper, and a clever boy was sent to each mansion, and he explained that the box contained snacks, so don't eat it overnight.
