Chapter 715: Preparing for the Chrysanthemum Banquet
"By the way, speaking of it, I remember that one year during the Lantern Festival, I went out with the young master." Liu Xiniang, who was caught in happy memories, had a sweet look on her face, "That's because I have been in the capital for so long, The only time I went out with the young master alone."
"The atmosphere at that time was really crowded, but it was lively."
"The Lantern Festival?"
Liu Xiniang's original intention was just to talk about her own experience, but she said it unintentionally and listened intentionally. Gu Chunzhu, who has been thinking about how to increase the passenger flow of this commercial street recently, immediately became interested.
"Yeah, the annual Lantern Festival is the busiest time in the capital." Gu Chunzhu said regretfully, "Unfortunately, for the convenience of management, the official family holds the annual Lantern Festival in a fixed place, on the busiest and most spacious street. Even if I want to attract the flow of people from the Lantern Festival, I can’t do it.”
Gu Chunzhu sighed slightly, Luo Xinlan saw that Liu Xiniang was a little puzzled, and hurriedly explained, "Xiniang, you don't know, this whole commercial street is opened by Chunzhu."
"In the beginning, there was only that restaurant, but these shops and embroidery workshops were slowly opened later." Luo Xinlan looked at Gu Chunzhu with her tender and understanding eyes in distress, "But after opening, although there is that restaurant. but overall, there are still very few people walking on this street.”
"Chunzhu has been worrying about this for the past two days." Luo Xinlan actually felt anxious when she saw Gu Chunzhu running here recently. Can do it in a hurry, but can't help much.
"Sister-in-law is right." Gu Chunzhu rubbed his forehead with a headache, but he didn't hide it. He raised his head and said, "I've been really worried about this recently."
"Xiaoxi, do you have any good ideas?" Gu Chunzhu remembered that she had given good advice when she was selling purses in the past, and stared at Liu Xiniang who was thinking with some anticipation.
"Naturally, the Lantern Festival can't be done, so it's better to think about it a bit simpler and follow suit first." Liu Xiniang raised her eyes and saw a chrysanthemum in full bloom outside the door, her eyes lit up, " Sister, why don't you use this!"
"I remember that I was in my sister's house. I only saw a few fresh varieties that I have never seen before, and I liked it very much."
Liu Xiniang's eyes flashed with excitement, "It might not work for someone else, but my sister can definitely do it."
Gu Chunzhu seemed to be awakened by her, understood what she meant, and quietly listened to what she continued.
"My sister knows a lot of people, and has the rewards from the palace. You can have a chrysanthemum feast. You don't need any expensive chrysanthemums, as long as the chrysanthemums have a large number and style."
Liu Xiniang said the thoughts in her mind, "Sister can release the news in advance, and then put chrysanthemums on the whole street, and then create a larger and fixed place separately, put more, put new and strange Varieties in the most visible places.”
Gu Chunzhu listened with relish, and couldn't help but talk about his own ideas, "Yes, you can also prepare some small gifts for all the people who come, so that not only the people who come will receive benefits, but also the street will be better. Advertise it."
After Luo Xinlan and Yingzi, who had been listening attentively by the side, clapped their hands and applauded, they all agreed with this idea.
Gu Chunzhu was thinking of finding someone to call Wang Kun, and he just came.
"Steward Wang, you came just in time." Gu Chunzhu pointed to the chair next to him and asked him to sit down.
"Find a piece of paper and write down what I said next." Gu Chunzhu took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, clarified the thoughts just now, and explained it to Wang Kun in detail.
"Steward Wang, go to the warehouse to pay silver taels. You must buy more chrysanthemums to know. Whether it can be done depends on the variety and quantity of chrysanthemums." After Gu Chunzhu instructed, he turned to Liu Xiniang and said, "Xiaoxi, this time You are really my think tank, and when this is done, I will give you a cut."
"Sister is being polite, I have accepted the kindness, I really don't need it." Liu Xiniang was flattered and unwilling to accept it.
"Xiaoxi, you can take it. The money you share is your private money at that time. Even if you don't think about it for yourself, you have to think about it for Sister Zhen." Gu Chunzhu's words came to her heart, and she finally No longer refused, nodded in agreement.
Gu Chunzhu and the others chatted together for a while. In the afternoon, when the sun was about to go down, she and Liu Xiniang took the car back to the General's Mansion.
Gu Chunzhu was sitting in the carriage taking a nap, and when he heard a slight rustling sound from the quiet carriage, he couldn't help but open his eyes and saw Liu Xiniang stroking her abdomen a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong, Xiaoxi, where are you uncomfortable?" Gu Chunzhu asked in an uncomfortable manner seeing her frown slightly.
"It's okay. I think it's going to change." Liu Xiniang raised her head and pursed her lips, "This is the little problem I suffered when I gave birth to Sister Zhen. When the weather turns bad, my belly feels a little uncomfortable."
"Is that so?" Gu Chunzhu immediately understood after listening to her words. He raised his head and lifted the curtain of the car again, and saw that there were indeed large black clouds in the sky.
Back at the General's Mansion, Gu Chunzhu immediately set up the fruit wood rack, and let the kitchen cook a fragrant fruit wood roast duck.
The fruit wood roast duck was successfully released, and Gu Chunzhu didn't care about anything, so he first asked the servant in the house to wrap one up, let him send it to Panfu Mountain, and let him give a message to the food expert Hu Fei.
"Go, tell the genius doctor, I'm going to make something delicious tonight, and let him, Brother Hu, definitely come over."
The servant at home took the life, immediately put the fruit wood roast duck in his pocket, and hurried out.
Liu Xiniang walked up and asked in confusion, "Sister, what are you asking the doctor for?"
"Didn't you say you're uncomfortable? I'll let him show it to you." Gu Chunzhu turned back and smiled lightly, and then asked the cook at home to tear up the remaining fruit wood roast duck and place it on a plate.
"This is my craft, you can try it." Gu Chunzhu said, picked up two pieces, handed one to Liu Xiniang, ate one by herself, and arranged to send the rest to Mrs. Su and other places.
Although Gu Chunzhu was eating hot and fragrant roast duck, he was not idle at all, and asked the cook to handle the ingredients for paper-wrapped fish for her.
The clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, mixed with the darkness of the night, almost indistinguishable.
Before the torrential rain fell, just as Gu Chunzhu thought, foodie Hu Fei rushed over overnight when he heard that there was something delicious.
"Why are you looking for me again?" Hu Fei said seriously, his mouth reminiscent of the fruit wood roast duck he had just eaten, and his nose did not forget to secretly smell what delicious food was waiting for him.
"Can you smell the smell of paper-wrapped fish?" Gu Chunzhu knew what she was talking about now, and Hu Fei didn't have the heart to listen, so he simply did what he liked, "What is more important than making you happy."
