A female military doctor traveled through time and was forced to love by a cruel prince
Chapter 30 Restaurant
He clasped his hands together and greeted the two aunts: "I greet the two aunts. I wonder what business you have in coming here?"
Aunt Wan smiled and said, "The Prime Minister asked us to see the dowry of the mistress's eldest sister. How much is there in the restaurant?"
Manager Jiang was a little confused: "Isn't this restaurant the mistress's dowry? Aren't the things inside the restaurant also the dowry?"
Aunt Qin stepped forward and added, “That’s what I mean. There were a few small things on the mistress’ dowry list that were not found.
The Prime Minister asked us to come and see if my uncle has brought it.
We have a list of missing items here, and I hope Manager Jiang will take a look at it with us.
We can also go back and report to the Prime Minister."
Shopkeeper Jiang used to only recognize Chen's family and was particularly disgusted with Su Cheng. His arrival squeezed him out.
The key point is that the restaurant that he and his father had been running was ruined, so he had no good feelings towards anyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He said coldly: "You can take a look, but you can't take anything."
The two aunts really had nothing to say.
In the past, these servants treated them with great respect.
But ever since the Su family kidnapped the princess, the Prime Minister's Mansion has become extremely notorious.
Look at the person in front of you, he looks very much like the master.
The two of them had no choice but to agree and followed Manager Jiang around upstairs and downstairs.
After this round, the two concubines looked at each other.
They really couldn't have imagined that the restaurant, which was once so glorious and prosperous, could become so shabby in just one year.
There is absolutely no trace of the past.
There was not a single valuable item left in the restaurant.
Aunt Qin asked in surprise: "Why has this restaurant become like this?
Although the business is not open, it shouldn’t be like this, how do you do things?”
Shopkeeper Jiang was not satisfied with her words and asked, "How did it become like this?
Go ask Su, his brother took away all the valuable furnishings in the restaurant and withdrew all the silver on the counter.
The restaurant now has no money to buy ingredients, and no one knows where he has gone. The only people left now are the people who used to follow the mistress, and they haven't even received any wages.
Did you find what you were looking for? There is nothing here.
Aunt Wan was a little suspicious of the room that had just been locked, and asked, "Why is that room locked and not allowed to be seen?"
"Why? I don't know why either. Go ask Su Cheng."
He would not let them into that room.
As mentioned earlier, Shopkeeper Jiang is the old general's man.
His father had always followed the general and was an excellent cook.
So I have been helping the old general run this restaurant.
Shopkeeper Jiang grew up here and learned cooking and management from his father.
Until his father was old and frail, he took over the restaurant and continued the glory of his father's era.
One can imagine how he feels about this restaurant.
But ever since Su was married to the prime minister, the family has been named Su.
The Su family wanted to interfere in everything, and later when the mistress disappeared, she reached out her hand directly.
And the good days of the restaurant are over.
The two concubines got nothing, so they sat in the private room drinking tea and asking Manager Jiang all sorts of questions.
Aunt Wan asked him, "You said that your place is clean and there is nothing here.
Where did these treasures go?"
Shopkeeper Jiang filled their tea cups and said, "Where? The largest pawnshop, Zhengguang. Our mistress's family has many treasures.
As for how she got there, you can go back and ask Su, it must have been her brother who did it."
Aunt Wan continued, "I heard that Su Cheng is also missing. He must have run away with his sister. It seems he has done a lot of bad things."
Aunt Qin took a sip of tea and said, "I told you, these two siblings are not good people, they are both losers."
She then said to Shopkeeper Jiang: “This restaurant is now returned to the princess, and she will be the boss from now on.
Let's see if our princess can revive this restaurant."
Shopkeeper Jiang said, “I’ve heard about that, but I just don’t know if the young princess will put in the effort in the restaurant.
It’s not just about putting in the effort, but also about spending money.”
Aunt Wan smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. The last thing the princess lacks right now is money.
Just think about it, our mistress's dowry has now been returned to the princess. How much silver is that? About five thousand taels.
Besides, would the prince have less money? You all saw it.
This time, Su overestimated her own capabilities and kidnapped the princess. Our Prince Zhan was so anxious that he almost turned the city of Chang'an upside down, which shows how much he cares about the princess.
So, just relax and prepare well, the princess will take over.
When the time comes, you can discuss with her and get this restaurant back on track.
Think about how prosperous this place was in the past. All the important people in the city would gather here. Now, it is really different from the past.”
"Yes." Aunt Qin took over the conversation: "This restaurant can't be like this.
Our princess and shopkeeper Jiang must make it glorious again.
Back in the day, when Manager Jiang’s father and you were in charge of this business, this place was a great honor in our Prime Minister’s Mansion.
Which of the princes, generals and ministers didn't frequent the palace? Our master would receive many reservations during his breaks in the palace.
There are 365 days in a year, and there are few days for rest.
It's a great time like today, but there's no one here. I've never seen that before."
After hearing what they said, Shopkeeper Jiang felt hopeful.
His eyes lit up: "According to what you said, the restaurant will reopen soon?
That's great, I've been looking forward to this day, as long as the princess is willing to invest money, I guarantee that the restaurant will make a profit."
Aunt Wan said discouragedly: "Profits will definitely be made.
As long as you operate according to the previous model, it will have nothing to do with our Prime Minister's family.
But it’s nice to see it open again.”
These two, the Su family used to control all matters big and small in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
They have nothing to do with it at all. They can't have a say and can't have babies.
Every time the prime minister went to their courtyard, he would be punished afterwards, either by having his monthly salary deducted or by being slapped in the face.
So even though this restaurant has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, the two of them are still happy.
During this period, Su's whereabouts were unknown, and the prime minister no longer cared about family affairs.
The mansion has been able to run smoothly these days thanks to the two of them, so they are still a little proud.
At this time, Shopkeeper Jiang had already found some old notebooks and was flipping through them, leaving the two of them drinking tea.
The two of them were busy preparing to go back to Prime Minister Xiao's residence to report.
But just as they went downstairs, Aunt Qin saw a man sneaking into the restaurant.
She immediately grabbed Aunt Wan, and the two of them peeked through the gap in the stairs. The man ran directly into the VIP room on the first floor.
Aunt Qin looked at Aunt Wan in confusion: "Why do I feel like he is alone?"
Aunt Wan also saw the man clearly. The two looked at each other, opened their mouths wide, and said the same name at the same time.
