Chapter 98

The same is true for fennel fritters.

Either it is too thick or too thin, or it is too hard, or it is too soft, or too much or too little fennel is added. After more than ten times of trial and error, Zhao Linger is satisfied.

In the past two days, Zhang Da has been tossing so much that he feels sick when he sees the frying pan.

It was also the first time Mrs. Su had seen Zhao Linger's business attitude. With such dedication and strictness, it was no wonder that she was able to make a business, and she admired her a little.

Su Yining finally returned from the capital.

It took four days to go and bring it back, but Zhao Linger felt as if he had gone for ten days and half a month.

Su Yi Ning gained a lot from this trip.

Not only did he bring back the hydrangea that Zhao Linger wanted, but also potatoes, parsley, sausages, taro, dried kelp, dried beans, and two big bags of red peppers.

Looking at the goods piled up all over the room, Zhao Linger was very happy. With these treasures, he is not afraid that the guests will not come.

After several days of preparation, most of the menu of Bahai Hot Pot Restaurant has been updated. Green vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, and radish that were not sold well before have been combined into a vegetable platter, and various fungi have also been combined into Mushroom platter, plus various dried goods that Su Yi Ning brought back.

Although there are many people who are greedy for cheap, there are also customers who don't care about money but only taste.

With the update of the menu, the reputation of Bahai Hot Pot Restaurant's variety of dishes and good service quality has also spread in Yunzhou.

Although the unit price of Bahai Hot Pot Restaurant is more expensive than that of Baxian, more famous people choose to eat at Bahai Hot Pot Restaurant.

However, since the [-]% discount at Baxian Hot Pot Restaurant, due to the decrease in profits, the portions of the dishes have become less and less, and the quality of the dishes has also declined. Customers are reluctant to go back after eating a few times.

Watching the customers of Bahai Hot Pot Restaurant return to the situation where they had to queue up to get food, Shopkeeper Wang knew in his heart that they had won this battle!
Mrs. Su is also very concerned about the business of the store. Ever since she delivered fried food to Zhao Linger last time, she has realized that it is not so easy to do business.The restaurant that Zhao Linger finally opened can't be said to be gone, so during this period of time, she has to go to the hot pot restaurant to inspect the situation.

Seeing more and more customers in the store, she felt a sense of accomplishment and pride in her heart, and of course she cared more and more for Zhao Linger like a relative.

In a blink of an eye, it has arrived in March of Yangchun.

The pain on Zhao Linger's back disappeared a lot, but she still couldn't exert force on her calf.

Su Yi Ning prepared a wheelchair for her, and when the weather was good, she let Ah Zhen push it out to bask in the sun.

Master Su has nothing to do at home during this period of time. There are many flowers planted in the yard, including poppies, purple gold flowers, pansies, azaleas, peonies, Clivia, and peach blossoms, pear blossoms, Cherry blossoms, rapeseed flowers, etc., the yard is full of red willows and green flowers, which is a thriving scene.

"Oh, these flowers are so beautiful! The garden is fragrant." Zhao Ling'er couldn't help breathing the fresh air.

"Yes, there are so many flowers in our garden, and the garden is so big, not to mention the number one in Yunzhou, at least it can be ranked in the top three! Other big families have been setting up gardens these days, but the old lady doesn't allow it. Otherwise, outsiders can also see our flowers!" Ah Zhen said regretfully.

"Let the garden go?" Zhao Ling'er repeated, and asked, "What is the garden?"

Ah Zhen said: "Every March [-]rd, the big families in the city will open their gardens for outsiders to enjoy. For example, Wang Baosheng Garden and Hu Xianyi Garden are famous private gardens in our Yunzhou City. They are open at this time of year. How many days!"

"Oh!" Zhao Linger nodded, and asked again: "Is the open garden free?"

Ah Zhen nodded, and said: "Of course! Those who can build gardens are rich families, so they probably don't care about the money."

Haha.

Zhao Linger suddenly thought of a good idea, but it had to be approved by his father and mother.

Zhao Linger said: "Hurry up and push me to see Madam."

Mrs. Su is watering the flowers with Mr. Su. Although Mr. Su has lost some salary now, he spends a lot more time with Mrs. Su, so the two are more affectionate.

"Father, mother."

Seeing Zhao Ling'er, Madam Su stood up and said with a smile, "How is it? The flowers in our garden are blooming well, right?"

Zhao Linger smiled and said: "Yes, I saw a lot of flowers along the way! They are colorful and smell delicious."

Madam Su bent down to sprinkle water again, with an uncontrollable smile on her face.

Zhao Ling'er took the opportunity to say: "Father, mother, don't we have garden activities on March [-]rd? Do you want to open our garden for outsiders to see?"

Madam Su's complexion changed, and she said: "What do you want outsiders to see? The flowers that have been cultivated with great difficulty will be destroyed by me if they step on them."

Zhao Ling'er said: "Oh, we can take care of these flowers in advance and clear a way. Besides, our flowers bloom so well, if we don't let more people see, how can we show the craftsmanship of you and dad? Let them also judge, look at our Yunzhou, whose garden is better? It must be ours!"

"That's for sure!" Mrs. Su said proudly.

"Then... shall we open the garden tomorrow?" Zhao Linger took the opportunity to ask tentatively.

Mrs. Su thought for a while, shook her head, and said, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, my good flowers are trampled by them. I don't agree."

Zhao Ling'er said: "Mother, I didn't open the garden for anything else, but for your own good!"

"Why is it for my own good?" Mrs. Su asked puzzled.

Zhao Linger said: "Didn't you invest 5000 taels of silver in the hot pot restaurant some time ago? You see that you haven't paid it back, and I feel very uncomfortable. But the store can't get out so much money now. Am I thinking of taking advantage of it?" Open a garden to earn some money so I can pay you back!"

"Nonsense! It's free to open a garden, how can you make money?" Mrs. Su didn't believe Zhao Linger's words.

Zhao Ling'er smiled slyly, and said: "Don't worry about this, you can leave the money-making to me. I promise, you can earn back the 5000 taels after opening it for a month. As long as you agree to open our garden."

Mrs. Su hesitated, 5000 taels is not a small amount, and the master will not go to the yamen anymore, so earn as much as you can, and save it for future generations to enjoy, she said: "Okay, if it is open, it will be open, but it is not allowed." You trampled my flowers! Also, don’t go to our backyard, don’t disturb our life!”

Zhao Linger smiled and said, "Don't worry!"

With Mrs. Su's affirmation, Zhao Ling'er hurriedly ordered Ah Zhen to find Zhou You.

Zhao Ling'er told Su Yining and Zhou You about her plan, both of them felt that this was very fresh and would definitely attract tourists, so they split up.

Early the next morning, the garden of the Su Mansion was opened to the public.
