Finally, Jiang Yunzhu negotiated a deal with Boss Luo. She would go to his house to prepare a banquet for him. The ingredients for the banquet would be provided by Boss Luo, who would give her two large cellars of ice. In addition, if there was anything new and interesting that his fleet brought back, he would sell it to Jiang Yunzhu first.
The second point is actually very flexible. The main point is that according to Boss Luo's description, the ice in the two large cellars is as big as Jiang Yunzhu's attic. The two large cellars are very valuable.
The key point is that ice is almost exclusively in the hands of wealthy people, and you may not be able to buy it even if you have money.
Jiang Yunzhu was very satisfied with this, and Boss Luo also solved a big problem in his mind and felt much more relaxed.
The two agreed that the banquet would be held five days later.
Jiang Yunzhu originally wanted to rely on word of mouth to slowly build up the reputation of the Shiguang Restaurant, but since she had the opportunity to make a name for herself in advance, she didn't intend to miss it. Moreover, since she had received benefits from Boss Luo, she should have done her best, so she immediately thought about the banquet, aiming to make a splash.
It was already dark, and Jiang Yunzhu sat at a small table, writing in deep thought.
At this time, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng knocked on the door and entered.
The restaurant was open, and unless they were working on a case very late, they would come to Jiang Yunzhu's place for a meal. Of course, they didn't want to bother her all the time, Xue Jing already had 70% of her skills, so it was the same when eating what he cooked.
"Xue Jing is waiting for you." Jiang Yunzhu smiled when she saw the two of them. The restaurant had no business these two days, and Xue Jing saw Jiang Yunzhu's new dishes and wanted to learn them, but was afraid of wasting ingredients, so he was anxiously hoping that someone would come to eat.
The arrival of Shen Fengming and the other man did not solve his urgent problem.
Yang Sheng laughed. Why did he feel like they were not here to eat for free, but rather to be used as experimental subjects
But it doesn’t matter, as long as there’s something to eat.
The three of them chatted briefly, then Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng went out to the dining room to eat, while Jiang Yunzhu continued to think about preparing the banquet.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door again.
"Come in." Jiang Yunzhu said without raising her head.
Shen Fengming entered the room.
His footsteps were steady. Jiang Yunzhu quickly recognized that it was him coming in and looked up at him.
When she raised her head, her eyebrows slightly raised, revealing her slender white neck, which matched her watery eyes and bright red lips, making Shen Fengming dazed for a moment.
"Still busy?" he asked.
"Well. If you are tired, go back and rest early." Jiang Yunzhu said.
Shen Fengming sat opposite her.
This is the private room that Jiang Yunzhu renovated for herself. There is a Luohan bed against the east wall and a small square table in the middle. Jiang Yunzhu sits here to write and can look up to see the night sky outside.
At night, the stars are twinkling, which is very beautiful and makes people feel peaceful.
Shen Fengming sat opposite the small table. His tall figure blocked some of the starry sky, but his eyes were brighter than the broken stars.
"I'll just sit for a while." Shen Fengming said. Jiang Yunzhu was busy, and he was busy too. This was a rare time for him to see her.
"Okay." Jiang Yunzhu was thinking of the key point, so she agreed and lowered her head again.
Shen Fengming looked at her. Her delicate skin appeared very soft under the warm yellow light. Just sitting there, she was as graceful and beautiful as a summer lotus swaying in the water.
Jiang Yunzhu could feel Shen Fengming looking at her. At first, she felt a little upset, but when she immersed herself in her own world, she forgot everything around her.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally figured it out. She looked up and thought Shen Fengming had left, but she saw him leaning against the corner of the small table, seemingly asleep.
"Shen..." Jiang Yunzhu wanted to call him, but stopped. He must be tired too!
She quietly put away her things, stood up, and stretched.
She looked at Shen Fengming again. He was wearing a black official uniform. It seemed that he had come directly to her after leaving the Qilin Guard. This official uniform was a unique costume of the Qilin Guard. There were dark patterns embroidered on the chest and shoulders, which were a fierce and mighty Qilin pattern with bared fangs and claws.
He wore a wide belt around his waist, had no sword, had straight eyebrows, and a face with sharp angles and beautiful lines as if carved.
At this moment, he had his eyes closed, and his aura seemed to be suppressed, but people did not dare to look at him directly.
Jiang Yunzhu looked at him in a daze. Her room was decorated softly, but he was like a ferocious beast, breaking in and lurking here.
The night wind is still a little chilly.
Jiang Yunzhu came back to her senses, took a thin blanket from the side and wanted to cover Shen Fengming with it.
Because he was leaning against the bed, she had to half-kneel on the bed to cover him with the blanket.
In this way, she was closer to him and could clearly see his long overlapping eyelashes, his high nose bridge, and his red lips.
Wrapped in a blanket, he seemed less cold and even a little handsome, which made Jiang Yunzhu unable to take her eyes away.
At this moment, Shen Fengming opened his eyes and the two looked at each other.
Jiang Yunzhu blushed and quickly stepped back, saying, "It's a bit cold at night, I think..."
But one hand was wrapped around her waist, making it impossible for her to retreat.
"Lord Shen." Jiang Yunzhu's waist was a sensitive area. Being pinched by a strong hand made her heart beat fast. Her voice was short and soft.
The hand did not let her go, but instead pinched her waist tightly as if to punish her. With a little force, she fell onto a flexible chest.
"Lord Shen?" Shen Fengming asked in a low voice.
He asked this question almost close to Jiang Yunzhu's ear, and his voice, with his breath, entered Jiang Yunzhu's ears, and she felt a suffocating smell in her ears. Well, she decided not to call him that next time.
No, it was because he came to see her in official uniform. When she saw him, she didn't want to call him Lord Shen.
Thinking of this, she pushed him away with her hands and looked up at him.
Her hand touched his chest and she could feel it beating strongly, which made her body soften again.
"I won't call you Lord Shen anymore. Let me go." Jiang Yunzhu said.
Her waist was only slightly wider than his hand, and it seemed that it would break if he pinched it. Shen Fengming really didn't dare to use force, but he didn't want to let go. There is something that seems to be addictive.
In fact, he wanted to use more force.
He let go of her a little and looked down at her.
The two were so close that they could feel each other's breath.
Jiang Yunzhu felt her heart was beating too fast and her breathing was not smooth. "Let me go." She whispered, her voice filled with coquettishness that she herself was not aware of.
Feeling the hand on her waist getting tighter, Jiang Yunzhu glared at him. What on earth did he want
Shen Fengming's lips moved closer to hers, but he did not continue.
Jiang Yunzhu was suddenly enlightened. He seemed to be really waiting for her to kiss him. It seemed like it was the same last time.
Shen Fengming really wanted Jiang Yunzhu to be close to him and know her feelings.
The two confronted each other for a while, and in the end Jiang Yunzhu did not kiss him.
After seeing Shen Fengming off, Jiang Yunzhu returned to the room and wiped her face with a cold towel. She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling tired, so she quickly washed up and went to bed.
When Yang Sheng returned home, Mrs. Yang gave him a rare good look and said, "I went to that restaurant."
"How is it?" Yang Sheng asked.
"It's delicious." But it's too far away. She wanted to go there to eat in the evening, but she felt that time was a bit tight. Thinking of this, Mrs. Yang glared at Yang Sheng. He came back so late, he wouldn't go to that restaurant to eat, right
Eat by yourself, don’t you remember me
Yang Sheng was found out and felt embarrassed. The Zhenfu Division was not close to the restaurant.
"Brother, it's delicious." The young man next to Madam Yang exclaimed.
"I want to eat." The little girl next to the boy said with a pout.
Seeing the greedy look on the brother and sister's faces, Yang Sheng smiled and touched their heads, "You can go eat tomorrow."
"I also met the owner of the restaurant." Mrs. Yang suddenly said.
Yang Sheng became alert, "Oh?"
Madam Yang carefully observed his reaction and said, "That girl is really nice. If we could invite her to our house..."
Yang Sheng was depressed and didn't need to think about it anymore.
Seeing his reaction, Mrs. Yang felt that she might have been overthinking.
When Shen Fengming returned to the Shen Mansion, it was already very late. The housekeeper said that Princess Danyang and Academician Shen had already gone to bed, so he went straight back to his own residence, washed up, and went to bed.
In fact, Princess Danyang and Scholar Shen did not sleep at all. How could they sleep if Shen Fengming did not come back
But in the inner room, one was reading a book and the other was checking the accounts.
After a while, a maid came to report that the young master had returned home.
The two of them then packed up their things and lay down.
After a sweet sleep, Jiang Yunzhu woke up the next day feeling refreshed. After washing up and having breakfast, she went to find Boss Luo and told him about her arrangements for the banquet.
As soon as Boss Luo heard this, he knew that Jiang Yunzhu had put her heart into it, and he couldn't help but nod repeatedly.
"By the way, Mr. Luo, your fleet often travels back and forth overseas. Can you bring back any interesting things? Maybe we can use them in the banquet." Jiang Yunzhu suggested.
Boss Luo thought about it and took Jiang Yunzhu to one of his warehouses, where there were all kinds of exquisite tableware with very Western styles.
"How about these tableware?" Boss Luo pointed at the tableware and asked. Most of these tableware were made of silver, shining and very gorgeous. He liked them very much. He also thought about using these tableware to entertain Boss Bai and others.
Jiang Yunzhu... was silent. These tablewares were very beautiful, but it would look awkward to put them on a Chinese table. Unless she prepared a Western meal, she was afraid that people would not be able to accept it.
Boss Luo coughed awkwardly. Actually, he felt it was not a good idea, so he had not used these tableware.
"Are there any ingredients or anything?" Jiang Yunzhu asked.
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait for the fleet to come back to get the seafood. The nearest trip may take half a month." Boss Luo said.
It's probably too late, Jiang Yunzhu felt very regretful. At this moment, she glanced and saw something, so she reached out and picked it up.
"What is this?" Jiang Yunzhu asked.
"This is the main item sold in my fleet, the glass cup." Boss Luo explained.
A colored glaze cup is actually a glass cup. The glass-firing technology in the Xia Dynasty was already very advanced. Boss Luo made further innovations. He asked the craftsmen to integrate the glass-firing technology of some overseas countries, and fired better glass cups according to their preferences, and then sold them to them. They were very popular in those countries.
This is also the reason why he became one of the wealthy businessmen in Beijing so quickly.
He was very proud of the glass.
Jiang Yunzhu looked at the glasses and an idea came to her mind. Her dishes should be fine for the banquet in a few days, but the wine... The twenty-year-old pear blossom wine prepared by Boss Luo was good, but not outstanding enough.
Now, with this glass, it can be refreshing!
The author has something to say:
The glass cup is based on the Ming Dynasty, which really sold glass cups overseas.
