Fengminglou is the most famous restaurant in Jiangnan, without a doubt.
It has branches all over Jiangnan, and is known for its luxurious decorations and exquisite dishes, as well as famous wines, famous teas, and high-quality services, making it a benchmark in the industry and a favorite of the upper class.
Children of various aristocratic families, wealthy businessmen, and dignitaries all like to gather in this building for banquets and receptions.
The top floor is a private residence. Xu Guangchen slowly put down his brush, picked up the teacup, and shook it gently.
The servant beside him bent over and whispered, "Baiyanlou sent a clerk to Wuyi Mountain to buy fragrant mushrooms ten days ago. This thing has the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and gathers the essence of the sun and the moon. Its nutritional value is comparable to that of Ganoderma lucidum and deer antler, but the price is very cheap."
"If Baiyanlou gets it, it will definitely make the business pick up after publicity. Although it will not threaten our Fengminglou, it can at least continue to survive."
Xu Guangchen narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I was wondering how the son-in-law of the Zhao family dared to be so arrogant. It turns out that he has found another way! It's a pity that he was one step behind and was guessed by the owner."
The servant said: "In recent years, the net profit of Baiyanlou is only about 8,000 taels per year, which can barely support the expenses of the Xue family."
"After our Fengminglou opened, their profit in the last month was only 400 taels, which is almost impossible to survive."
"But after estimation, with this kind of mushroom, their net profit may reach 10,000 taels of silver per year."
Xu Guangchen snorted: "If there is really 10,000 taels of silver, they really don't have to marry their daughter as a concubine."
At this point, he said in a deep voice: "I gave you six full days, you can't just do this?"
The servant hurriedly said: "The servant I have sent people out of the city, and found the guy who bought the mushrooms at the post station late last night, and snatched the mushrooms away. "
"At the same time, I spent 40 taels of silver to bribe the chef of Baiyanlou and learned the cooking techniques of mushrooms. "
"At this moment, the mushrooms have been sent to the back kitchen of our Fengminglou."
Hearing this, Xu Guangchen laughed out loud: "Hahahaha! Good! Tomorrow is my engagement banquet with Xue Ningyue, I will cook this dish for them!"
Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, and said in a low voice: "By the way, I received news that there will be a big party from Lin'an Prefecture tomorrow. The important people are coming to Yunzhou, and maybe we will hold a banquet here. You ask the kitchen to prepare mushrooms and serve them a delicious dish. "
"If this matter is done well, it can be regarded as the best of both worlds. The Xu family is taken down, and the important people in Lin'an Prefecture are also properly entertained."
The servant hurriedly said: "I understand!"
Xu Guangchen said: "Go and get a hundred taels of silver, as a reward for you."
The servant was overjoyed and knelt down directly, saying loudly: "Thank you, sir!"
...
Zhou Yuan first exchanged the silver notes and sent them to his father-in-law, and met with Lord Wang Ang. He was very calm about the armor.
"This matter will be investigated thoroughly. I will tell you a piece of news. The governor and the captain will arrive tomorrow. My Jinyiwei has dispatched 600 cavalrymen, which is enough to suppress all rebellions!"
He laughed and whispered, "Fortunately, Lord Zhao reminded me that this piece of meat is too big for me to eat, otherwise I would be in danger."
"If this case is solved, I will be the first in the Jinyiwei. Brother Zhou, your kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and I will never forget it."
Zhou Yuan hurriedly said, "Brother Wang, you are too polite. You have earned your future, so I will also benefit from it."
Wang Ang waved his hand and said, "No more words. I am a rough man and I can't talk. I will remember it in my heart."
He hurried to do things, and Zhou Yuan was absent-minded. He got on the carriage directly and rushed to Baihua Pavilion.
Baihua Pavilion is not open during the day, that is, Zhou Yuan was able to visit with Cai Ni's name card.
Cai Ni was very surprised by Zhou Yuan's sudden arrival. It was noon, so she quickly asked the kitchen to prepare the dishes and invited Zhou Yuan to eat.
"Sir, what have you been busy with these days? Why don't you come to see Cai Ni?"
The courtesan looked a little aggrieved, pouting slightly, with a resentful look in her eyes.
Zhou Yuan smiled slowly and said, "I'm busy with Xue Ningyue's affairs, but there will be a result soon, maybe tomorrow."
Cai Ni blinked and said, "What arrangements did you make, can you tell me?"
Zhou Yuan said, "It's boring to tell you, just pay attention to Fengming Tower tomorrow."
There was a table full of good wine and food, and Zhou Yuan was hungry, so he talked while eating.
"The business of Baihua Pavilion has been getting better and better recently, and the maids are very happy, all thanks to you."
Cai Ni was eating at the same table with Zhou Yuan for the first time, and she was shy and happy. She kept picking up food and pouring wine for Zhou Yuan, just like a good wife.
Zhou Yuan felt very comfortable being served, and chuckled: "Cai Ni, you should eat something too, don't just pick food for me."
Cai Ni said: "I can serve you well."Love-mindedness is terrible. Be careful that someone will say you are a marriage donkey.
However, according to the personality of the girl in front of him, anyone who dares to scold her like this will probably draw his sword directly.
Zhou Yuan suddenly said: "Cai Ni, I want to ask you something."
"Sir, please tell me."
Zhou Yuan said: "Where did the armor go? What are you going to do?"
Cai Ni's face suddenly changed, and her chopsticks fell on the table.
Then, she smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Sir, you never ask Cai Ni about her life experience. Why do you want to make it clear today? Aren't you afraid that Cai Ni will hurt you cruelly?"
Zhou Yuan said: "If you give an order, the masters of Baihua Pavilion will come out together. I will definitely not be able to walk out alive."
"But Cai Ni, I believe you."
He stared at Cai Ni's eyes with a burning gaze and said affectionately: "I believe you will not hurt me. If I make a mistake, there is no point in living, and I will die. "
Of course, this kind of talk is a lie, just to coax the little girl.
To steal the armor, you need to pay a very huge price, arrange countless people, and kill more than ten lives...
With so much hard work, there must be a very important and clear mission.
The other party will never make trouble at this moment and must kill Zhou Yuan. This is Zhou Yuan's confidence.
Otherwise, he will come to nothing. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Facing swords, the farther away the better.
But Cai Ni was extremely moved, her eyes were red, and she said foolishly: "Don't worry, sir, Cai Ni will never harm you."
"It's just that the specific plan is handled by Master, and Cai Ni is not aware of it, so I can't tell you."
Zhou Yuan drank a glass of wine and whispered: "You don't believe me."
"No!"
Cai Ni hurriedly sat next to Zhou Yuan, grabbed his hand, and said excitedly: "Sir, I don't disbelieve you, but I don't know. ”
She was afraid that Zhou Yuan would be dissatisfied with this, so she hugged Zhou Yuan in a hurry and said, "Cai Ni has lived a hard life since she was a child. Apart from Master, only Young Master treats me sincerely. How can I not believe Young Master?"
"I swear I will never know, otherwise I will be punished by heaven, struck by five thunders, and never be able to live..."
Zhou Yuan immediately covered her mouth and chuckled, "No need to swear, I can feel your heartbeat and I will know."
He held Cai Ni in his arms and pressed her heart. The amazing size and touch surprised Zhou Yuan and he couldn't let go.
"Young Master...you..."
Cai Ni's face was flushed, her eyes were blurred, she lay softly in his arms, exhaling like orchids, saying, "Young Master...you are a bad person..."
Zhou Yuan said, "I can feel it. Cai Ni is indeed a good person and didn't lie to me."
Cai Ni said, "Young Master clearly wants to be a pervert and deliberately take advantage of Cai Ni. "
Zhou Yuan said: "Do you like it?"
Cai Ni blushed, lowered her head, and said in a lingering and delicate voice: "I like... I like it..."
Zhou Yuan laughed and said: "Okay, let's eat. I have to go to Fengming Tower in the afternoon. The shopkeeper there said that he will receive several important guests from Lin'an Prefecture tomorrow, and asked me to give some ideas on how to entertain them."
Cai Ni was shocked at first, and then her eyes turned red and tears welled up.
She hugged Zhou Yuan, stroked his cheeks with both hands, and choked up: "My lord, my lord, Cai Ni is just a prostitute, it's not worth your life to treat me well."
"Cai Ni pretended not to hear everything just now, please don't say anything more, my lord."
Zhou Yuan sighed, shook his head and said: "Pour me a glass of wine."
Cai Ni wiped her tears and quickly poured Zhou Yuan a glass of wine.
