The Cang family is an imperial merchant.

It mainly deals in silk and satin and leather jacket fabrics, and it has just obtained the qualifications to gain a firm foothold in Capital City in the past two years, and its foundation is not too stable.

Cang Monan is the second son of the Cang family's eldest son. This time, he will board the ship at the pier in Funing County. He will also inspect the cloth line in the Jiangnan area that is cooperating with the Cang family.Chunbu was transported back to Beijing.

As a result, on the way back to Beijing, met Chen Nianguan and his party, and they formed an indissoluble bond.

Master Cang saw that the goods had been brought back to be stored in the warehouse, and his good grandson hadn't come back yet. When the steward said that it was for a group of friends he met on the ship, he was wondering what kind of friend he was, and he wanted to make the good grandson not even report to his family first.An, such a warm welcome?Then saw Cang Monan coming back excitedly.

"Grandfather! The grandson is back."

"I know you've come back early! Why did you come home at this time?"

Cang Monan told Master Cang about meeting Chen Nianguan and his party on the road, emphatically mentioning the identities of Zhang Erlang and Zeng Si, and came to Beijing specially for the spring examination next year.

Master Cang was also a little bit excited at the time, but he was much calmer than Cang Monan.

"Okay, okay, it sounds like they will be able to go to high school next year!"

"Grandfather and grandson just want to form a good relationship. It would be good if Mr. Zhang Ergong and Mr. Zeng Si can go to high school, but if they can't, grandson can also get to know more scholars through them, and grandson can watch their facesUncommon, it won’t be so, all of them will fail, right?” Cang Monan smiled, “As long as one of them can get high school and sell our Cang family some face in the future, then I won’t do it today.It’s in vain to run this trip.”

"It's good to have such an idea! If they have a great fortune, our Cang family has known them in a small way, it's better than in the future when they get promoted and want to make friends, but they can't curry favor if they want to." Master Cang nodded., "It is necessary to plant good fortune as early as possible. Anyway, our Cang family does not lack that kind of money, what is lacking is contacts, and the management of these contacts can take years to accumulate."

"I just listened to my grandfather and placed them in the house on Xianggui Street."

Cang Monan didn't say that it was about renting with Chen Nianguan, and he didn't dare to say that it was a moment of joy. He was dizzy thinking about having the opportunity to eat delicious food in the future, and was surprised by Zhang Er and Zeng Si's identities.for.

Thinking of the seafood delicacies eaten on the boat, Cang Monan quickly took out the jar of scallop sauce and asked the steward to use this sauce as a dipping sauce when serving the dishes today.

During the dinner, he also specially recommended it to Master Cang, saying that it was the fresh sauce made by Zhang Er's new wife and children.

Master Cang tasted the scallop sauce, and his face changed slightly. Hearing what his grandson said, he smiled coldly, "This Zhang Zi's vision is not very good, and he chose such an ignorant woman."

Cang Monan didn't know why.

"This sauce is obviously from the Chen family, how can you change the jar and say that you made it yourself?" Master Cang shook his head.

Earlier, a peddler known by Mr. Cang snapped up a batch of scallop sauce from somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River. As an old friend of the peddler for many years, he got a jar. It tasted very delicious. I don’t know who made it.It said "Chenjia Yaozhu Sauce", so I went to ask an old friend.

Because the batch of scallop sauce was small in quantity and had a unique flavor, it was sold out as soon as it was shipped back. My old friend was afraid that someone would compete with me for the huge market of Capital City after learning about the channel of this scallop sauce, so he laughed and said nothing.

Master Cang is in the cloth business, so he will make achievements, and he doesn't want to make a living in another line of business. He just asks one more question, and if he doesn't say anything, he will give up.

Now, when I tasted the Yaozhu sauce from Chen's family, but said it was made by Zhang Erxin's wife, I naturally thought that Zhang Erxin's daughter-in-law used other family's sauce as her own, and Master Cang was deeply ashamed.

Cang Monan was taken aback, thinking of Mrs. Chen's handicraft that she had tasted on the way back to Beijing, and then thinking of Mrs. Chen's surname Chen, the Chen family?So he coughed dryly, "Grandfather, Zhang Er's bride is surnamed Chen."

Master Cang was stunned. His surname is Chen?

Could it be that the Chen family really made the scallop sauce?

If she knows how to do it, she can ask my good grandson to please her and buy a few more jars of scallop sauce!

"It turned out to be an imperial merchant!"

In the house on Xianggui Street, Chen Nianguan changed into a gentleman's suit after washing up, and planned to follow Tao Bo to buy a new quilt.

Although there are cotton quilts in the wing room, they are all old ones. Chen Nianguan is not used to using used bedding, so he plans to buy new ones.

No wonder he can afford a house in Capital City and is so generous to accept a yearly rent of one hundred taels of silver!

Definitely a great merchant!Maybe can learn from him in the future and learn about the restaurant market in Capital City.

After Zhang Erlang finished washing and changing his clothes, he walked out of the screen, Chen Nianguan looked up and smiled.

Zhang Erlang looked at his clothes, and then at his wife's, and couldn't help but smile and pulled Chen Nianguan into his arms.

Because Chen Nianguan wanted to sew winter clothes for Mr. Liu, when Mrs. Liu bought cloth, Chen Nianguan specifically told Mrs. Liu that she would also make a few sets for Zhang Erlang, with exactly the same style and color as her, and when she went out like that, then they are close people at first glance!

In fact, it is a couple outfit!

"Naughty!" Zhang Erlang started to eat meat after he got married, and only stayed in Funing County for a few days to taste the sweetness. After ten days on the boat, the two couples lived in separate cabins - the cabin was small, the bed was small,The wife disliked that it was uncomfortable for the two of them to live together.

Besides, he lived in several cabins connected with everyone, and the partition between the cabins was extremely thin. He just wanted to consider the impact, so he endured it.

It is good to eat and live well on the way, and he has no complaints!

Now that he finally arrived in Beijing, the two of them were alone, and his thoughts came up.

It's just that he came up to her face and kissed her, and put her earlobe in his mouth. Outside, Si Ya called out: "Boss? We're going to see the big capital, can you go?"

Zhang Erlang was instantly paralyzed, and put his head on Chen Nianguan's shoulder.

Chen Nianguan burst out laughing, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "When I buy back the quilt, I'll let you eat enough tonight?"

Zhang Erlang was so ashamed that blood dripped from his ears, he couldn't help reaching out and pinching his wife's cheek, he didn't understand how his wife could be so calm about everything!

Let him marry her as soon as possible, eat in public on the passenger ship, and feed himself shrimp in the public, too.

However, such a lady saves a lot of effort to figure out her thoughts, and getting along with her is very easy!

Moreover, he just likes such a frank, sweet and pretty lady.

Zhang Erlang looked at the faint red marks on the face of the lady, and stretched out his hand to caress gently.

"Does it hurt?"

Chen Nianguan shook his head, "Go quickly, or you won't be able to get covered before dark, and you won't have a place to sleep."

Zhang Erlang took her hand and walked out quickly.

Capital City is much colder than Funing County.

Fortunately, everyone had already prepared, and put on the thick jackets and winter clothes in their bags.

I have a place to live, but haven't bought some daily necessities. Chen Nianguan divided the people into several groups, and seized the time to do things separately:

She, Zhang Erlang, Si Ya, Liu Yun, Zeng Si and the others are naturally going to buy cotton quilts,

Liu Feng and Xiao You followed Tao Bo to buy oil, salt, rice noodles and vegetables,

Liu Xiong and Liu Shi followed a handyman to buy firewood and charcoal,

Liu Qing, Grandpa Duan, and Qi Mu, who hadn't recovered from seasickness, were the housekeeper.

The three groups left Xianggui Street. Chen Nianwan saw a horse-drawn carriage shop at the entrance of the alley, so he rented two donkey carts and one carriage. Zeng Si rented one himself, and Tao Bo, who was familiar with the boundaries,, The handyman led them to part ways.

Cotton quilts are used immediately. Of course, it is impossible to sew the cloth after returning home, so I can only buy ready-made ones.Except for Zeng Si, no one else asked for anything, so Chen Nianguan just figured it out.

After buying more than ten sets of quilts and spending more than 20 taels of silver at the checkout, Little Darling of Chen Nianguan felt pain.

I just arrived in Capital City, and haven't been here for a day. Not counting the rent, spent almost fifty taels. The cost is too much. If things go on like this, can't afford it!

Fortunately, A Niang had the foresight to prepare winter clothes for them all in advance, otherwise buying winter clothes at this moment would be a big expense.

After the quilt was put into the carriage and returned to Xianggui Street, Zeng Si explained that he had to buy a carriage, and Chen Nianguan's eyes lit up, that's right, everyone has come to Capital City, and he has to live for at least a yearHalf a year, travel by yourself, don't you have to follow the Capital City people and use a horse-drawn carriage?

Although there is a carriage and horse shop not far from Xianggui Street, which is convenient to rent, but the daily rent is not a small expense. For example, now, she has to pay for a carriage and two donkey carts.The cost is a total of one and a half taels, and it will cost almost three hundred taels in half a year. It's better to buy horses and donkeys with money!

Everyone went to see the stables, and found that there were four stables for four livestock. After Chen Nianguan, Zhang Er and Zeng Si combined, it was decided that Zeng Si would be responsible for buying a carriage, and she would be responsible for buying a carriage.A donkey cart, one for traveling, and one for carrying goods at home!

After the other two groups of people who went out to purchase came back, Chen Nianguan called everyone to have a small meeting on Capital City's big plans.

There are many people, and the division of labor between individuals is reasonable.

Needless to say, Zhang Er and Zeng Si, their mission is to study, so Daohe continued to follow Zhang Er, and Zeng Si's own people took care of themselves, but they had to pay money for the monthly expenses, waiting for Chen NianguanAfter understanding the price of Capital City, ask Zeng Si to collect it.

Then Qimu will be in charge of the house. Tell him about the big and small things in the house, and the welcome and delivery. Chen Nianguan will give him a sum of money every month.it is good,

As for the kitchen, Liu Yun is naturally in charge first, after all, her cooking skills are the best, Liu Xiong and Liu Shi assisted in the purchase,

Two idlers, ah, no, I am responsible for Liu Qing and Liu Feng who came to Capital City to practice, so Grandpa Duan, please be idle too!

Chen Nianguan himself, of course, had to prepare for the grand opening of the store, and Xiao You and Si Ya, who were guards, had to follow up when he was away from home.

As for Tao Bo and the two servants, one of the servants can show her a way and drive a car by the way.

Well, in this way, the manpower is basically allocated.

Chen Nianguan was about to get people dismissed, so Zeng Si coughed and asked, "Naturally, I'm not afraid that no one will do the rough work." That's natural, most of the people brought here are gentlemen, and they won't be troubled by moving around.

"Can you wash and mend?"

Chen Nianguan helped the forehead.

That's right, still have to find mother-in-law and embroidered lady!

It's the first time to be a housekeeper, and I'm not skilled in business!

"If my master can trust me, I can find someone I know well." Tao Bo saw that the ladies who came to live here were all very young and kind, so he dared to speak.

"Okay, then leave this matter to Tao Bo."

In the end, Tao Bo introduced Mrs. Liu and her daughter-in-law to do the washing and mending together. Later, Zeng Si also bought two servants to add fragrance to his red sleeves and do some light chores.That's another story.

Chen Nianguan was very excited about going to buy a carriage tomorrow.

BMW!

She has been looking forward to it for a long time.

She still remembered that the starting price of a horse-drawn carriage in Funing County was thirty taels. She didn't know how much a horse-drawn carriage in Capital City cost, and she had to buy another donkey cart.

Hey, the cost of living in Capital City is really high, but if you come here, naturally you have to keep up with the people in Capital City!

Since I am already a million-dollar rich woman, I still have to loosen my hand when it is time to loosen it. For necessities, I have to buy the best.

Thinking happily, Chen Nianguan took off the inner layer of a small coat he brought with him, and took out twenty hundred-yuan banknotes from it.

Well, all the money and silver of the million-dollar rich woman were brought to Capital City, and they were hidden separately in the carry-on bag. As for where they are hidden, it is of course confidential.

I want to buy a car tomorrow, so can get some of it out first!

After stroking the two thousand taels of silver, he took out a charcoal pencil and the raw-edged paper that bound the book, and started to keep accounts.

When she came here, she basically saved all the money she could get her hands on, and the total amounted to less than 30,000 taels. She planned to use 20,000 to 20,000 taels to buy a shop, and set aside 1,000 taels for restaurant reconstruction and custom-made cooking utensils and the like., In addition, reserve 1,000 taels as a reserve fund, leaving only 4,500 taels and some odds.

Well, when went out just now, inquired with Tao Bo, and after Liu Feng and the two beasts came back, also asked about the prices. As long as the life is not too extravagant, there are about twenty of them, thirty taels a monthShould be more than enough.

The problem is that they are newcomers and don’t understand anything, so they will naturally spend a lot of money in many ways, and they meet new people in Capital City, and they don’t know how much they will spend on human relations!

Hey, the livelihood of such a big family is on my shoulders, so heavy!

When Chen Nianguan was planning the use of money and silver, Zhang Erlang came in, sat beside her and took a look: "Is there enough money and silver?"

Chen Nianguan raised his eyes and glanced at him, ah, by the way, there is also this master Juren!

Going out to socialize among people, reciting poems and composing right, it also costs a lot of money, right?

Chen Nianguan thought for a while, and handed him five hundred taels of silver bills: "This is your expense. Don't be too stingy to meet some great Confucian masters."

"No need." Zhang Erlang transferred the five hundred taels back to Chen Nianguan, "Didn't you already give me all my share and profits? That's enough for me to spend."

That's right, before leaving, considering that Zhang Er's identity was different from the past, she returned all the money he had temporarily kept in her hand to the original owner. Zhang Erlang knew that studying in Capital City would definitely cost a lot, so he didn't refuse.All accepted.

Chen Nianguan then reached out and put away the five hundred taels.

Zhang Erlang saw that she was still counting the money and silver, so he stretched out his hand and swept the money and the account book aside, and put his wife in his arms, "Did you forget what you said today?"

"What did I say?"

"Tell me, let me eat enough tonight." Zhang Erlang held her face up and whispered in her ear.

Chen Nianguan's face burned instantly.

It's the same words that I said, how come it's so embarrassing when I hear him say it out of my mouth!

"Then, I have to wait until I clear the money for buying the horse tomorrow."

"You like horses?" Zhang Erlang kissed the lady's neck lightly.

"Well, riding a horse is so majestic!"

"It doesn't matter tomorrow, I'll let you ride a horse tonight!"

When Chen Nianguan was brought into the tent, his heart was broken, and this second one became more and more emboldened by himself!

The next day, when everyone wanted to find out where the horse market in Capital City was, Cang Monan came over again.

Hearing that they want to buy horses, suggested going to the horse farm in the western suburbs of Capital City, where there are more good horses to choose from.

Chen Nianwan and the others followed good example, except Liu Yun and the two beasts who stayed to look after the house, Qi Mu and Grandpa Duan who stayed behind to watch the house, everyone else went to the horse farm with great interest, the carriage brought by Cang Mo Nan was not enough for people,As a result, left Xianggui Street and rented two more carriages.

No wonder went to the chariot and horse shop twice, and the shop was full of customers. This business seems to be quite lucrative!

Yep, it cost another tael to rent a car!

Cang Monan, Zhang Erlang, and Liu Qing were in a car, Chen Nianguan, Liu Feng, Si Ya, and Xiao You were in a car, Zeng Si and his entourage were in a car, and the other staff were in a car, and they drove all the way to the western suburbs.go.

When they arrived at the horse farm, a guy came to lead the way to the place where the vehicles were parked, and then took valuables and got out of the car, asked the steward who was in charge of the horse carriage to ask for a sign, and then entered the horse farm.

As soon as Chen Nianguan entered the horse farm, he was amazed. It really deserves to be a place for raising horses. No matter in the previous life or this life, the horse farm is very vast.

Chen Nianguan, who went to the Happy Valley to watch the horse races, saw clearly at a glance that this place not only breeds and sells horses, but also races them.

The huge racecourse was full of people, and several fine horses were galloping with their heads held high, and the ladies and gentlemen in the stands were very noisy.

Of course, Chen Nianguan and the others kept in mind that they were here to buy horses, they didn't go to the other side of the racecourse, they followed Cang Monan and went back, only Zeng Si looked at the horse farm cheering in the distance, quite interested, but sawEveryone in front didn't intend to take a look, so they followed the crowd.

The steward of the horse farm heard that they came to buy horses, so he took them to the stable.

BMW!

Chen Nianguan looked at the horses sticking their heads out of the stable to eat the bean hay in the manger, with sparkling eyes.

The horses sold by the racecourse are naturally the best. The manes on the necks of each horse are well groomed and shiny. In Chen Nianguan's eyes, they are simply handsome men.

When he heard the prices of these BMWs, Chen Nianguan's eyes dimmed a little.

Every horse here, the one with the lowest price is one hundred and fifty taels.

One hundred and fifty taels.

It's super expensive. In her budget, sixty taels is already the top.

Because when bought a donkey cart in Funing County, asked about the price of horses, but the starting price was 32 taels. Could it be that the horses in Capital City are also special?

After chatting with the steward for a few words, realized that these horses were only used for riding, not for pulling carts.

Generally, the horses that pull carts in the folk are eliminated or are ordinary horses specially used for carrying loads, so they are much cheaper.

When Cang Monan heard that they were going to buy horses, he thought it was to equip the two young masters with mounts, so he brought them to the horse farm in the western suburbs.

Ok!

Chen Nianwan had no choice but to give up his plan to buy a horse, but seeing that the gentlemen who came with him were all very interested in horses. In the end, except for the cash-strapped Liu Qing and Liu Feng, Zhang Erlang and Liu Feng did not buy horses.Zeng Si all took a fancy to one horse.

Thinking of the identities of these two people, heard that scholars also have to practice riding and archery. In addition, Zhang Erlang didn't need her to pay for the horses he bought, so Chen Nianguan just let it go.

After calculating the space in the stable, he asked the steward if he had any ordinary horses suitable for pulling carts.

Hmm, she, Chen Nianguan, puts practicality first. What she needs????? It's not some fancy horse, it's just good to be able to travel.

Then the steward recommended an old horse, which cost one hundred taels.

"It's just an old horse, one hundred taels is too expensive, isn't it?"

"Don't look at him as an old horse, but he has a strong physique. Feel his waist and look at his hooves, but he can run better than ordinary horses."

"That's an old horse, too."

"Ms. Chen, you don't know. This is a war horse that has been on the battlefield to kill the enemy. If it hadn't been injured, it wouldn't have been sent to our racecourse."

"That's an old horse, too."

...

The steward felt that he had nothing to say to Chen Nianguan, so he shifted his gaze to a group of gentlemen, and all the gentlemen turned around and pretended not to see them.

"Ah, you said it is a war horse. Horses on the battlefield must have been injured more times than ordinary horses, and it was injured and retired, so this is still an old horse with injuries."

The steward was speechless and scratched his head, "Then, Mrs. Chen, what do you mean?"

"We bought this old horse and the two horses just now, so it must be cheaper, right?" Chen Nianguan said.

The steward looked at the two horses picked by the two gentlemen just now, one was one hundred and eighty taels, and the other was one hundred and sixty taels.

"So, for four hundred taels, we bought all three horses."

Chen Nianguan's calculations are loud.

In this way, she could buy a horse for sixty taels, which was within her budget.

"That's right." Zhang Erlang supported his wife, "If it's four hundred taels, we'll sign the bill and buy it right away."

Seeing Zeng Si, the steward also nodded, reluctantly agreed, and then recommended saddle bridles to them, and also recommended carriage bridles to Chen Nianguan, and of course, charged another sum of money.

Then Chen Nianguan found out, yes, it cost an extra twenty taels of silver.

Well, seeing that the carriage is really strong and spacious, the workmanship is also considered excellent, and it can be used with an old horse, saving her from finding a carpenter to build it again, so she doesn't care too much.

When the group left the racecourse, there were two more horses and a carriage.

Zhang Erlang and Zeng Si didn't take the carriage anymore, they rode back directly. Of course, Chen Nianguan took his own carriage. Liu Feng thought that he could drive the horse if he could drive the donkey, so he wanted to ride the horse excitedly.

An old horse is also a horse, and driving a horse is also riding a horse!

I didn't think about it, just got on it and fell off after taking two steps, so had to call Zeng Si's guard to come over to drive the car.

Sitting back in the rented carriage by himself, Cang Monan looked at him and smiled.

With the means of transportation, everyone was very happy. After returning to the city, they did not go directly to Xianggui Street. They first walked around the outer city for a week under the guidance of the guide Cang Monan, and then found a restaurant for dinner.

Chen Nianguan said this is fine.

She originally wanted to spend a few days to get familiar with the restaurants and restaurants in Capital City and find out.

The restaurant they came to is called Lingyun Pavilion, which is also one of the well-known restaurants in Capital City. Cang Monan booked a private room, and the group sat in.

When Xiao Er came in to report the menu, Chen Nianguan guessed from the name of the dish that this should be a restaurant specializing in Shandong cuisine.

Probably because Cang Monan left the impression that they like to eat fish food because of eating seafood on the way to Beijing. The dishes that Cang Monan ordered as a kindness of the landlord are all fish: Cao Liu fish fillets, braised prawns,Mullet egg soup, of course, is also indispensable to sea cucumbers with green onions.

Chen Nianguan would not tell the truth.

As long as there is something delicious.

Then take chopsticks to taste, the fish fillet is tender and smooth, delicious, the shrimp meat is sweet and salty, the meat is firm and juicy, the fish soup egg is white, refreshing and smooth, as for the sea cucumber with green onion, it is naturally rich in fragrance, fresh and tender.

Served with stewed radish with sauce and delicious sauce, Mushu meat with suitable thickness and so on, Chen Nianguan couldn't help but think to himself, the dishes made by any restaurant in Capital City are so delicious.Now, if you want to seriously open a restaurant and get a place in it, I'm afraid it's not as easy as you think.

So pretended to be chatting and talked to Cang Monan about the famous restaurants in Capital City.

Then realized that this Lingyun Pavilion is actually out of ten in Capital City.

As for the top-ranked restaurants in Capital City, Yueman Building is of course, followed by Yufenglou, followed by Jixiangju, followed by the four top-ranked restaurants, six top-three restaurants, and other small restaurants after that.

Hearing the name of Yueman Building from Cangmo Nankou, Chen Nianguan was suddenly happy.

She has dealt with this Yueman Building before, and she still maintains a cooperative relationship. Every month, sooner or later, she can receive the profit share of Chenjia Hor Fun. By the way, Yueman Building should still sell her family’sPho too!

It's been a long time since I've seen the owner Shi Er. I'm going to Yueman Building. Will I be able to meet him?

They are old acquaintances, and they can be regarded as her connections. Since they came to Capital City, socializing is also a must. Shi Erdong's family is an insider in the restaurant industry.

Immediately Chen Nianguan decided to go to Yueman Building for a sip and meet Shi Cunqi by the way.

After drinking and eating, thanked Cang Monan, and the group went back to Xianggui Street.

Well, the horse is bought back, but someone still needs to take care of it!

Wash the horse, feed the horse, and other chores.

I asked the two handymen if they would serve the horses, and they both shook their heads and said no, and no one in the family understood this. At this time, it was time for Tao Bo to play his role again. He recommended a man in the carriage and horse workshop.The young man who used to be a groom.

Chen Nianguan saw that he was speaking clearly and logically, so he decided to stay for a three-month trial before talking, and if he couldn't find another person.

The matter was settled.

Because the groom is familiar with carts and horses, Chen Nianguan originally planned to buy a donkey cart to buy a load, so he asked Liu Xiong and Liu Shi to follow a donkey cart and come back to make up for their failure to raise it.Regrets about the racecourse.

After spending twenty taels of silver to buy it back, on the second day after coming to Capital City, bought all the transportation tools at once.

Looking at the empty stable yesterday, three horses and one donkey lived in today, Chen Nianguan expressed his satisfaction.

She is now considered a real upper-class person, not only owning her own BMW, but also equipped with a truck!

Not bad.

After all, they came to Capital City to study. Neither Zhang Erlang nor Zeng Si dared to forget their main jobs. Afraid of wasting precious time before the Jinshi examination, they took the recommendation letter from Master Fan Shan to find Meilu Academy the next day.

Chen Nianguan just remembered that he also had a letter of recommendation in his hand, which was given to her by Mrs. Lin from Prefecture City.

She originally thought that Zhang Erlang would go to the Imperial College when he arrived in Capital City.

After all, Imperial College is a government school and the highest school. heard that it has the best teachers. Who would not want to go?

But Fan Shanchang is his teacher, since he recommended Zhang Erlang and Zeng Si to Meilu Academy, he can only follow the teacher's wishes.

Chen Nianguan didn't find out the letter of recommendation, and gave up his plan to visit Mr. Lin.

Today she wants to go to Yueman Building, by the way, she also wants to go to Peng Dong's Chenjia Hor Noodle shop.

Before leaving Funing County, she originally wanted to say hello to Mr. Peng's family, come to Capital City, and help him see how the Chenjia Pho Shop is doing. After all, she is one of the partners!

As a result, during that time, Mr. Peng's family went out to visit friends, and Chen Nianguan didn't see each other.

But she also received a hundred taels delivered by the shopkeeper of Tao Ran Teahouse on his behalf.

If it can make a profit, it means that there is no problem in operating it?

Then she can rest assured that the shopkeeper doesn't know where the Capital City Chenjia Hor Noodle shop is located. When she comes to Capital City, everyone will be here. If I ask, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it?

Chen Nianguan originally wanted to ask Cang Monan if he knew the Chenjia Pho Shop, but he didn't come over today, so he had to go out by himself to explore the environment first.

So he called Liu Yun.

I heard that Chen Nianguan was going to Yueman Building to eat delicious food. Liu Feng and Liu Qing said that they would also go to taste the delicious food in Capital City, and Liu Xiong and Liu Shi said that they would go to Capital City for a walk, after all.It's rare to come to Capital City, and it's useless to come here if you don't see the scenery of Capital City enough.

So with the carriage in the front and the donkey cart in the back, everyone set off.

When got to the alley, asked the guy at the chariot and horse shop if he knew how to get to Yueman Building. That guy was in the chariot business, and he was familiar with all land and water routes in Capital City, at least in Capital City.Famous places have to be remembered, not to mention the most famous restaurant in Yueman Building Capital City.

Seeing that they came here for two consecutive days to help, also explained the route in detail to them.

Chen Nianguan also listened carefully, took out a small notebook and charcoal, and drew a brief landmark and route while asking. Everyone drove according to the map drawn by Chen Nianguan. Hey, we found it smoothly..

Chen Nianguan expressed his satisfaction.

In her previous life, she was a road idiot, she always couldn't remember the direction, but she learned to be good afterward, and every time she asked for directions, she would always carry a small notebook with her to write down the landmarks and routes, and then follow the landmarks to be sure.

Of course, after having a car later, unless the navigator makes a mistake, it doesn't have to be so troublesome from time to time.

Yuemanlou is a three-story building in the inner city. It stands upright under the sky, with carved railings and jade bricks.

Even the fastidious Master Ming Hai has praise for the Yueman Building.

Hmm, Master Ming Hai?

Chen Nianguan's heart skipped a beat.

Hmm, haven't heard of this name for a long time. It is her savior. It is said that it is also famous in Capital City. It seems that it is worth visiting.

Chen Nianguan silently put Master Ming Hai on the list of the next thigh to meet.

A group of people walked into the magnificent Yueman Building, and a waiter came over to greet them. Chen Nianguan glanced at the hall, it was time for dinner, and it was already full, so they asked for a private room, and the waiter ushered them in.Went to the second floor.

The second floor of Yueman Building is full of private rooms.

Chen Nianguan inquired with the staff on the third floor, only to know that the third floor is also a private room, but the price of the private room on the upper floor is double that of the ?????

Chen Nianguan immediately understood that the second floor is a common private room, and the third floor is probably a place similar to a VIP room.

As for the backyard of Yueman Building, it is also a three-story inn. It seems that this is a large restaurant integrating accommodation and dining!

When the waiter introduced the menu to them, Chen Nianguan inquired about Shi Erdong's shop by the way.

"Second boss? This—maybe I'm afraid you got the wrong person?" The man looked at Chen Nianguan who was wearing the Lang Jun's brocade robe.Junfu, but I heard a lady next to me who also wore Langjun's suit call her cousin, and finally decided to call her lady.

"Our Yueman Building has only one owner, there is no second owner!"

"Yueman Building is no longer named Shi?" Chen Nianguan's first reaction was that Yueman Building changed hands.

"How is it possible? Our boss is the elder of the Shi family."

"Then how do you say that Yueman Building doesn't have a second master? Isn't the second master of your Shi family named Shi Cunqi?"

"Ah!" The man was stunned.

"Huh?" Chen Nianguan was surprised.

"Then..." the guy laughed, and glanced outside, "We haven't seen the second master, I've only heard of Shi Dong's family since I've been here in Yueman Building for so long, not much Shi Dadong's Shi Erdong's house!"

"Oh!" Chen Nianguan nodded without further questioning.

No wonder haven't seen Shi Cunqi for almost a year. Did he stop meddling in the Shi family's restaurant business?

Chen Nianguan didn't think much, and ordered a few dishes, of course, he also ordered a Chenjia Hor Fun.

Well, Yueman Building is indeed supplying Chenjia hor fun, a piece costs 100 Wen, but it is much more expensive than their authentic hor fun shop.

And the other dishes were not cheap, Chen Nianguan calculated in his heart, this meal cost her almost twenty taels of silver, more than half of their monthly living expenses.

Tut tut!

With ten people like her to help, just the private room on the second floor can earn two hundred taels a day!

While eating rice noodles, Chen Nianwan continued to inquire about the Chenjia rice noodles shop from the waiter, but the assistant shook his head vigorously: "Impossible, impossible, this Chenjia rice noodles, this is the only one in the whole capital city, there is no otherThe cook will cook this dish."

Don’t have a Chen’s Pho shop?

Impossible, if the Peng family wants to open this Chen family noodle shop, they will not lose money, right?Otherwise, where did the one hundred taels she earned come from?

Is it a bad reputation?

"Capital City is so big, maybe you don't know it!"

"Where, I heard from the chef in our shop that this rice noodles, the Chen family sold the secret recipe to our Shi family, and no one else is allowed to do this business."

how is this possible?Chen Nianguan was stunned.

She remembered that she had sold two recipes to Shi Cunqi, one was fish curd, with a non-competition clause that no longer sell the recipes in Yueman Building, including the restaurant where the branch is located, and the other was rice noodles, which also had a similarNon-compete clause.

Neither of the two contracts prevented her from selling the recipes to others, nor did they prohibit her from having the right to carry out two eating businesses, not to mention, prohibiting her Chen family from carrying out the same business in Yueman Building, including the location of the branch.

Otherwise, the Yuemanlou in Funing County sells fish tofu and rice noodles. How can she, Chen Nianguan, continue to make a living in the same place as Yuemanlou in Funing County?

The Chenjia pho shop is branded as "Chenjia pho". When she becomes a partner, she authorizes others to make a living in the name of Chenjia pho, which is equivalent to Chen Nianguan's own business. Where does the power of Yueman Building not allow it?Anyone else do this business?

It can't be that, after the Peng's chef came back to Capital City, he didn't open the Chen's Pho restaurant because Yueman Building didn't allow it?

"Well, someone else wants to open this rice noodle shop, but what about your boss's messing up?"

"How could I, a little buddy, know about Shi Dong's family?" The buddy shook his head.

Chen Nianguan didn't ask any more questions.

After eating, when leaving Yuemanlou, Chen Nianguan lingered, and before going out, he finally met a person who was barely an acquaintance: "The shopkeeper!"

At first glance, the big shopkeeper of Yuemanlou saw a red-faced and white-toothed young gentleman greeting him with a smile, but he couldn't recognize who it was for a while. After Chen Nianwan introduced himself enthusiastically, the big shopkeeper reluctantly brought her along with him.When I went to Funing County with Er Dong's family a year ago, I got in touch with the little lady I met.

"It's you, Miss Chen Si!"

"Hey, I'm married!" Chen Nianguan smiled and told the shopkeeper that his identity was different from the past.

"Oh, Mrs. Chen, I even specially sent someone to Funing County to buy another batch of preserved meat from you!"

It was at this time last year that bought a batch of cured meat from the Chen family in Funing County. After bringing them back, they sold them for a lot of money and captured many diners, so planned to go to the Chen family again this year.

Unexpectedly, after everyone was dispatched, this Mrs. Chen suddenly appeared in Capital City.

Knowing that Chen Nianguan came to Beijing with her because her husband won the title of Juren, and he will participate in the Spring Festival next year, he couldn't help congratulating him.

"By the way, shopkeeper, why didn't you see Shi Erdong's house? I came to Capital City on a rare occasion, and I don't know where to find him if I want to pay a visit!"

Haha, the shopkeeper, laughed dryly, and while sending Chen Nianguan and others out of the restaurant, he talked vaguely about Shi Cunqi.

In the end, he told her the location of Shi Cunqi's house.

"Second Master has left the restaurant business for a long time, and now Yueman Building has nothing to do with Second Master. If you want to see Second Master, you'd better go to his house!" The shopkeeper cupped his hands and bid farewell.

Oh, there is no Shi Erdong's family anymore, only Master Shi Er?

Last year, Shi Cunqi traveled all the way from Capital City to Funing County to cooperate with her in order to enrich Yueman Building's food, why did he suddenly let go of the restaurant business?

What happened?
