There were not many dishes on the table, but when Su Jin saw the five or six dishes on the table, he immediately felt something extraordinary, and staring at a few dishes couldn't keep his eyes open.

Xiao Sui'er, who was standing by the side, almost went crazy, and the young master showed a kind of rustic surprise at the few ordinary dishes on the table, and he was afraid that he would be despised by the master and servant of the Yan family again; thinking of this, she Taking a sneak peek at Yan Biyun's master and servant's face, Miss Yan looked playful, and she couldn't see any special emotions, but Xiao Xian'er's face was a kind of complete contempt.

Xiao Sui'er hated so much in her heart, she turned her eyes wide and thought of countermeasures to save face, but Su Jin said in a slightly trembling voice: "Miss Yan, sorry for my shallow knowledge, these dishes seem to be hard to come by."

Yan Biyun smiled and said, "What's so difficult about home-cooked vegetarian dishes?"

Su Jin shook her head slightly and said, "Miss Yan, is this the next one? I'm not a person who doesn't care about food. Although this dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes is a home-cooked dish, it seems ordinary, but it's the evening of spring. When the tomatoes are planted and mature, it is midsummer and golden autumn, and the tomatoes can only be eaten after a few months, which shows the preciousness of this dish, and Ms. Yan must have spent a lot of effort to cultivate it."

Yan Biyun smiled and said, "Young master Su has sharp eyes, and my kindness was not in vain. I thought that if the young master would disdain these ordinary dishes."

Su Jin held up his chopsticks and reached for the plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, took a piece and chewed it in his mouth, closed his eyes to taste the taste: "It's sweet and sour, fragrant and delicious, and delicious."

Seeing Yan Biyun's joyful appearance, Su Jin felt great hatred: Paralyzed, future generations will soon get tired of eating this stuff. The school cafeteria will always be scrambled eggs with tomatoes and two or three free flies. I never thought that after thousands of years, I still have to eat this stuff. stuff.

"Thank you, Young Master, for your compliment, but it's obviously a little pumpkin, why do you call him a tomato?" Yan Biyun tilted his head and said.

Su Jin said: "Well... look at its shape, it is similar to the red persimmons that bear fruit in autumn in the west courtyard of my house, so I gave it a new name by the way."

Yan Biyun raised his eyebrows and said, "Young Master Su is an elegant and careful person, it seems that he likes eating this little gourd very much."

Su Jin nodded and said: "Of course, of course, this thing is anti-aging, anti-cancer, and tastes delicious, so I naturally like it."

Yan Biyun smiled and said, "If it tastes good, eat more."

Su Jin swallowed the scrambled eggs with a large chopsticks of tomatoes in tears.

So far, Su Jin is satisfied with everything except the out-of-season vegetables that Yan Biyun used to show off, which made Su Jin feel a little depressed; Vegetables that are out of season, apart from tomatoes, can bring back Su Jin’s nightmare memories of the canteens of later generations. Stir-fried lettuce, stir-fried big white radish, stir-fried small yellow sprouts, except for a pot of unknown soup floating on top of it. Apart from some oil flowers, the whole banquet is a vegetarian meal meeting with a large collection of off-season vegetables.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with these dishes?" Yan Biyun asked softly.

Su Jin took a sip of 'bitter wine' with a piece of big radish and said: "I am very satisfied, I can't express my satisfaction in words; these dishes are too precious, Miss Yan should not use him to entertain me, I am so flattered."

Yan Biyun covered her mouth with slender hands and said, "That's not true. You are treating me today. These are my favorite dishes. I didn't expect you to like them too. That would be the best."

Su Jin rolled his eyes and muttered softly, "This is not my style."

"what?"

"It's nothing, I mean, it's really good food."

"Oh, it's a pity that there are not many produced, otherwise I can give you some."

Su Jin hurriedly waved his hand and said: "That's unnecessary, if I want to eat, I can come with Miss Feng Louxun, and Miss will not refuse if I think about it!"

This sentence seemed to show that the relationship between the two was extraordinary, and several people in the hall were a little embarrassed for a while.

Xiao Sui'er looked at the dark ground outside the hall with bulging eyes and twisted her neck, her eyes were changing and she was thinking of something.

Xiao Xianer stared at Su Jin viciously, her cheeks puffed up and then held back, apparently gnashing her teeth.

Yan Bi Yunzhuang's fair face was slightly flushed, he bowed his head speechless, holding a thin piece of lettuce in his small hand, tossing it over and over again.

Su Jin heartlessly stuffed a lot of yellow buds into his mouth, chewing them.

Candles danced, the room was full of fragrance, and the warm breeze occasionally passed through the hall, blowing the candles to this side, making the shadows of everyone in the hall tossed and tangled together.

"By the way, Mr. Su hasn't told Biyun the truth about selling clothes at a loss today." Yan Biyun asked softly, breaking the silence.

Su Jin coughed and wiped the non-existent oil stains around her mouth with a wet towel, and said, "I told Miss Yan just now that if you want to take it, you must first give it to you. The next thing is an old saying: from thrift to extravagance , It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality."

Yan Biyun frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized: "I see, what Mr. Su means is that these people who have bought good clothes may not want to wear linen shoes again."

Su Jin smiled and said: "As long as conditions permit, [-]% of them must be repeat customers of my Suji, who can afford to live in a tall house, how many people are willing to stay in thatched huts and be despised by others, and how many people can afford delicacies from mountains and seas? In the end, would you rather pickle the pancake? This is one of the weaknesses in human nature."

Yan Biyun was suddenly in awe of Su Jin. As an experienced businessman, he took over the family business for five years. He has seen countless merchants, but none of them can analyze customers from the heart like Su Jin; Thinking about it, she was also like this, if she could afford to wear silk and satin, why would she go to buy clothes again?

"Mr. Su's plan is clever, and Biyun is willing to bow down, but there are still two points to be resolved, otherwise it may be difficult to fulfill your long-cherished wish."

Su Jin laughed and said: "Miss Yan's worries are nothing more than cost and customer's choice. Are you afraid that I'll be busy making wedding clothes for others?"

Yan Biyun said: "Exactly, based on the cost of each satin shirt, Su Ji will not have the current discount in the later period, so purchasing power will become a problem; there is also the effect of your tossing It will be shared by the Tang family, the Liu family and the Huang family, and there are four or five small merchants also dealing in high-end fabrics, wouldn’t it be cheaper for them?”

Su Jin picked up a glass of wine, raised his neck and drank it, and said with a smile: "I just want them to follow up. If they don't follow up, how can I use my hands and feet? These things are too complicated, and I won't be able to tell for a while. Ms. Yan will wait and see."

Yan Biyun smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I'm afraid you're talking too much and too deeply, and Biyun won't be able to understand."

Su Jin waved his hand and said, "Miss Yan made fun of me. In fact, I'm not sure. I'm just a fledgling. I really can't bear to see my Su Ji gradually decline. I don't want to become a beggar! I don't know the result of all this trouble; Miss Yan Being in charge of Hefenglou alone, and running a restaurant so luxuriously and prosperously, is just in line with the saying 'Who says women are inferior to men'."

Yan Biyun was so happy that she almost shed tears. She has supported her family business for five years and suffered a lot of gossip. Underneath the appearance is a strong heart, and Su Jin clarified her psychological state in one sentence, "Who says women are inferior to men?" Yes, Yan Biyun is the only thing criticized by others is her daughter's body.

With Su Jin's approval, Ms. Yan's affection for Su Jin doubled. At the same time, she also faintly felt threatened. This guy has insight into people's hearts. Who can guarantee that he didn't have insight into the depths of his heart, so he did what he wanted? okay.

Su Jin saw Yan Biyun's expression change from moved to calm to indifferent, even his great ability never thought that his casual words would cause a storm in Yan Biyun's heart, and then force her to suddenly close her heart.

"It's getting late, Mr. Su, please come back, and Biyun thanks you for spending the money today." Yan Biyun said this sentence without thinking, with a cold voice.

The second monk Su Jinzhang couldn't figure it out, so he was deported like this, with nothing in his stomach except some vegetarian dishes, and he didn't know what this woman was thinking?A needle in the bottom of a woman's heart.

But when the master spoke, he couldn't say in a deadpan manner: "Please do me a favor, and put a place for the bowl of rice." He had no choice but to stand up and bid farewell.

Xiao Sui'er and Xiao Xian'er's positions at this time were surprisingly the same, both women had gloating smiles on their faces, they quickly lit up the lanterns, Xiao Xian'er was in front, Su Jin followed her closely, Yan Biyun After Su Jin saw him off, Xiao Sui'er walked last with a lantern; the four of them left the hall door and walked along the path to the hall on the first floor of Hefeng Building.

The flowers and branches on both sides of the path are hidden, although there is no shadow of the moon, but when the lantern is moved, it is a beautiful scene of flowers and branches, with light and shade. Smelling the fresh and pollution-free air with a faint fragrance, Su Jin feels relaxed and happy.

The thin footsteps behind him and the graceful figure thrown by the lantern were on the ground beside him, Su Jin suddenly felt mischievous, and suddenly stopped in his footsteps.

Hearing a coquettish hum of "Aiya", Yan Biyun, who lowered his head thinking about his thoughts, couldn't hold back, and slammed into Su Jin's back. Su Jin could really feel the pair of pills squeezed on his back from round to flat. The silk texture of the clothes made the feeling of touching it even more wonderful. The feeling of two hard red beans sliding on the back made Su Jin's body freeze instantly.

Yan Biyun stuck behind Su Jin like a fool for a few seconds, then suddenly came to his senses, eagerly twisted his body and leaned back, trying to get his closely-contacted body away from Su Jin's back, and when he lost his balance with force, he fell on his back; Su Jin turned around and stretched out his hand With a stroke of her slender waist, the warm and fragrant soft jade fell into her bosom.
