[Comprehensive] A small goal

The result of returning home after playing until the ugly time was that she slept until almost noon the next day before waking up.

When she woke up, she still felt strange, why couldn't she even remember when she returned to the room?

When I asked the maids while washing, the maids also said that they were not very clear, because they were all asleep at that time, and they didn't hear anything.

Lin Shiyin: "..."

Forget it, it doesn't matter anyway, it's probably because of sleepiness.

After letting go and playing for a while, she returned to the preparations for the opening of the new shop.

During this period, Zhuge Shenhou also sent over the plaque he personally inscribed. His old man's handwriting was steady and majestic, and his strokes showed the strength of his predecessors, which was just right for Lin Shiyin.

After getting it, she personally sent the plaque to East Cross Street, and directed the shop assistants to hang it up.

"Hey, hey, go up a little bit!" Lin Shiyin backed up as she said, thinking to step back a little to see the effect, but she backed up too quickly, and bumped into someone passing behind with a bang.

"Sorry, sorry!" She hurriedly turned her head, and was stunned when she raised her eyes, "Hey, Ji Shaoxia."

Ji Bingyan was also a little surprised. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the swordsman in black clothes who was standing at the door of this shop had already walked quickly, raised her eyebrows and said, "Miss Lin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Xue happened to cross the street and stood beside Lin Shiyin, and asked her in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Lin Shiyin pursed her lips and waved at him: "It's okay, I accidentally bumped into this young hero."

After finishing speaking, she turned to Ji Bingyan again, and seeing him looking thoughtfully at the plaque she had just asked someone to hang up, she couldn't help but advertise to herself: "It will open on the first day of next month, if Ji Shaoxia is free, you might as well come try?"

Ji Bingyan actually remembered that Zhuge Shenhou personally inscribed the inscription on this restaurant specializing in hot pot that he had heard in the tavern. Now that she knows that the owner is her, she is surprised and feels reasonable at the same time.

But even so, he still doesn't think much of what Lin Shiyin did.

Hot pots are sold in taverns big and small in Bianliang. How confident is she that she can squeeze out those taverns with a history of at least a dozen years or more than a hundred years?

So at this moment, when he heard Lin Shiyin say that, although he responded with a smile, he was quite indifferent in his heart.

Lin Shiyin didn't say a few words to him, and continued to direct the hotpot restaurant's waiters, while Leng Xue was still looking at him, his eyes were clearly calm, but Ji Bingyan felt uncomfortable.

He hooked the corners of his lips, ignored it, and went straight back to the inn.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the first day of February, everything is ready and only the east wind is owed.

Lin Shiyin got up early in the morning with the enthusiasm to start a new business, dressed more solemnly than when going out to the night market, and after confirming that it was correct, she took Uncle Xiang to East Cross Street together.

After all, the momentum has been built for such a long time, and the people in the capital who love to watch the excitement are naturally full of expectations for this hot pot restaurant. There are people waiting around the door early in the morning, and when the door is really opened, the crowds rush in even more instantly. Filled up more than half of the lobby.

The trained guys not only moved quickly enough, but also spoke quickly, quickly explaining the difference between this restaurant and ordinary taverns to the curious and puzzled guests——

"The bottom of the pot is no less important than the sauce."

"Things boiled in clear water do not lose their original taste, but if you eat too much, it will be bland."

"Our hot pot is seasoned with cornel and peppercorns, and guests can choose the degree of spiciness by themselves."

……

So it didn't take long for the hall to rise in patches of heat, filled with various delicious smells.

Lin Shiyin stood on the second floor and looked down, the smile on her face never stopped: "I just said there's no problem."

Uncle Xiang nodded repeatedly in approval: "Yes, yes, Miss Biao is clear."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shiyin noticed that the man standing at the gate welcomed three more guests, her eyes lit up immediately, and she turned around and ordered: "Go and invite those three guests upstairs."

The workman on the second floor looked in the direction of her finger and hurriedly took his orders.

Uncle Xiang was puzzled: "Miss Biao knows those three young masters?"

When Lin Shiyin heard this, the smile on her face deepened, she nodded and said, "We have met a few times."

The three of Chu Liuxiang and the others simply wanted to come in to watch the excitement, but they never expected to be greeted respectfully as soon as they entered, and said, "My master invites three of you."

Hu Tiehua was the first to look up, so he was also the first to see Lin Shiyin, and immediately grinned at the people, and at the same time pulled his two companions together, and quickly walked up to the second floor.

Lin Shiyin could tell that they were very interested in the hot pot he had improved, and thinking of the future status of these three people in the world, even if they didn't have a good relationship, it would be good to have a good relationship.

"Miss Lin, catch the head coldly." Chu Liuxiang took the initiative to greet them, and looked at Uncle Xiang curiously, "This is—?"

"It's my housekeeper." She squinted her eyes and replied.

"So that's how it is." He was stunned.

While they were talking, many of the guests sitting in the lobby below had already eaten the hot sliced ​​mutton, and exclamations came from time to time, which made the atmosphere of the whole room even hotter.

Lin Shiyin also took advantage of the situation and invited the three of them to the first private room on the second floor, and told the staff to treat them well.

As for herself, in order to get a satisfactory taste, she had eaten enough hot pot before the opening. Of course she didn't want to continue at this moment. After staying in the store for half an hour, she went home with Uncle Xiang.

The master and the servant sat together in the carriage, and Uncle Xiang was filled with emotion: "It's true that the people depend on food."

Lin Shiyin hummed: "That's right, so don't worry about it."

This wave is absolutely guaranteed to make money!

And her next goal is to open enough chain stores after earning enough money to become the No. [-] hot pot brand in Song Dynasty!

Ah, when I really think about it, I feel that life is full of hope.

However, life is always full of ups and downs, and she was so happy because of the rising turnover. Within two days, Zhuge Shenhou came to the door in person to find his little apprentice back.

What he said made sense: "With Miss Lin's current status and skill, she probably won't need him."

Lin Shiyin: "..."

Uh, can she say it's useful?

It's so useful, whether it's a training partner or a meal companion, Leng Xue is a perfect partner, not to mention that he is also good-looking!

But she couldn't say this directly to Zhuge Shenhou, after all, not only did she rely on his old man to do business, but she also had no reason to be cold-blooded.

So in the end, she could only solemnly thank Shenhou Mansion for taking care of her.

Of course I also thank Leng-Blood alone.

The words of thanks are actually very simple, but they are also very sincere.

She said: "These days have been hard and cold."

Looking at her serious gaze coldly, he opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.It's just that when he left Li Yuan, he couldn't help but look back.

He didn't expect that Lin Shiyin was still standing at the gate of Li Yuan. When the two looked at each other, he was stunned, but she pursed her lips and smiled at him, just like every time she came to him to practice kung fu. .

Because of this turning around, on the way back, he obviously felt that Zhuge Shenhou looked him inquiringly several times, but for some reason, he didn't ask any questions that would make him unable to answer. His next mission told him.

Compared to the previous task that was extremely leisurely, this task just sounds like it must be extremely difficult and dangerous, but he nodded without moving an eyelid.

Zhuge Shenhou was not surprised by this, he just said: "I believe in you."

As for Li Yuan, Lin Shiyin was not used to it in the first few days.

She didn't feel that Leng-Blood had any special sense of presence beside her before, but after he left, the contrast immediately came out.

Even when he occasionally looked up at the unsprouted tree he used to sit on, he felt so bare and desolate.

Why hasn't spring come yet...

This kind of unaccustomed made her not even pay much attention to the increasing turnover of the hot pot restaurant, which fell for several days in a row.

However, no one in the entire Li Garden noticed her downturn. Everyone focused on the hot pot restaurant that attracted people all over the capital when it just opened. When he came back, he directly praised her to the sky.

People are vain, and Lin Shiyin's mood improved a lot after being praised like this, so she cheered up and went to East Cross Street a few more times.

During the period, she also met Chu Liuxiang and the three of them, and got a few sincere compliments, especially Hu Tiehua, who said that she had never eaten such a delicious hot pot, and wished she could eat it every meal!

Lin Shiyin was amused by him and laughed out loud, and said kindly: "As long as Hu Shaoxia is not too tired, I will definitely welcome you to come every day."

Half a month later, the business of this hot pot restaurant has surpassed all the established restaurants in the capital.

Coinciding with the Jinshi examination, there are also many literati and inkmen who come here to drink and cook together. Some of them became very popular because of eating too happily, and wrote many poems with the theme of "fishing".

Of course, Lin Shiyin would not refuse this opportunity of free publicity. In order to make them praise more sincerely, she also made a rule of giving discounts to students rushing to take the exam.

Of course, the discount rate must still be within the profit range.

After such a month, she has gone straight back to the pre-opening decoration and workmanship. If she speaks out, she may make her colleagues jump into the river with envy!

Ji Bingyan, who lives in the inn next door and can see how crowded the hot pot restaurant is every day, finally admitted that he really underestimated Lin Shiyin.

This girl is a character, no wonder Su Mengzhen is so optimistic about her.

"But having said that, Miss Lin is already good enough, how else can you help her?" Hu Tiehua was curious, "And you can only help in secret, it's too difficult!"

"She really doesn't need me for business in Beijing." Ji Bingyan smiled, "But with her appetite, it will only take a year or two to get the business going. You can wait and see when the time comes."

It is true that the Shenhou Mansion is powerful, but it has also made many enemies.

It's one thing in the capital, but it's another thing in some places where the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

He didn't believe that with Lin Shiyin's brains and appetite, she could not help but wander around the Central Plains.

As for things like cooperation, of course, it is only when it is time to give charcoal that it shows its beauty.

·

It is mid-March when spring really comes.

Lin Shiyin was originally worried that the business of hot pot restaurants would deteriorate after the weather warmed up, but she still underestimated the instinctive yearning of human beings for delicious food, and she was really not moved by other external things.

But she didn't expect to kill her, but this hot pot restaurant actually alarmed the emperor.

The matter has to start with those students who rushed to take the exam. The Jinshi exam in this dynasty was set at the turn of spring and summer. Sigh the bustling Tokyo.However, this year, they have changed their routine, and they all praise others for their hot pot, and even compare each other who can boast more vividly.

The emperor was always a lover of romance, and after the news spread to the palace, he was very curious about this "Lao", how delicious it must be to make these future pillars of the country so respectful?

Out of curiosity, he directly found an opportunity to leave the palace.

Of course he didn't use the emperor's ostentation, or he didn't like that kind of ostentation, this time he came out of the palace to this hot pot restaurant, so he simply pretended to be a student rushing for the exam.

It can be cheaper, can't it?

The accompanying eunuchs were all "...", but they couldn't stop him.

Lin Shiyin happened to be sorting out the running water and subdivisions of this period in the store at the time, and after finishing sorting out, she heard the clerk talk about another scholar coming, who was so impressed by our hot pot that she not only became very poetic, but also started painting on the spot. A little curious, I went to the front hall to have a look.

When she arrived in the front hall, the emperor had almost finished painting.

Taking a closer look, I saw that the picture is very delicate, and the brush strokes are even more beautiful and delicate. Even as a layman in painting, she has to praise in her heart that the painting is really good.

Glancing at the two entourages behind him, who could be said to be highly skilled in martial arts, Lin Shiyin immediately understood that this guest must have come from an extraordinary background.

But no matter how big her brain is, at this moment she never thought that this person is the emperor.

Until he finished painting and started writing poems.

Lin Shiyin: "..."

This thin gold body is like printing, which student who is rushing for the exam will have the courage to learn it!

It’s okay not to write!As soon as he wrote it, he instantly exposed the true identity of this uncle!
