Master of Rebirth

A few days later, when the drawing was finished, Wang Qi invited Pozi Ma and showed her the drawing, hoping to hear her opinion.

"Master, my old lady can't read much, so I can't understand what you drew." Mrs. Ma said embarrassedly.

Wang Qi said: "It doesn't matter, you just choose the one you like."

Then Mrs. Ma looked at the patterns carefully.

"Grandma, what do you think of this?" Zhao Aman showed Mrs. Ma a picture of Sui Han's three friends.

Mrs. Ma shook her head, and said to Wang Qi: "Master, from the old woman's point of view, these should be liked by scholars. There are not many officials and eunuchs in our Pingyao County, and most of the wealthy households are ordinary people. What's more, those who like to eat The snacks are all ladies and children in the boudoir. Although the four gentlemen and the three friends Suihan are fresh and refined, they may not like them."

Wang Qi paused while drinking tea, and said in her heart: "This old woman is really insightful."

"There are still some here, Granny Ma, please take a look." Wang Qi smiled.

The drafts brought over this time are in the style of both refined and popular tastes. Mrs. Ma looked at it for a long time before picking out one from the middle and said, "I think this one is pretty good."

Zhao Aman put his head up curiously, wanting to see the drawing that grandma had chosen.I saw the words "Linglongzhai" written in lower case on it, and framed it with a simple flower vine around it. A few small flowers bloomed on the flower vine, some in full bloom, some in bud, Simple and refined.

Wang Qi made a decision immediately, "That's all. Wang Sheng, you can send the drawing to Gubaozhai."

In this life, Wang Qi hasn't had any contact with Taohuawu yet. Fortunately, Dong Jue's eldest brother, Dong Chen, has acquaintances there. With them, it is easy to do things and the price is fair.

"Okay." Wang Sheng took the picture and went down to work.

Wang Qi looked at Mrs. Ma and said, "Grandma, it will take some time for the gift box to be printed. In the next few days, you can guide Chang'an and Changshun well. After the gift box is delivered, you will be busy."

Mrs. Ma quickly said, "Yes."

Not to be outdone, Zhao Ahman also said: "My lord, I also want to help grandma."

Wang Qi glanced at him and said with a smile: "You take good care of the study and read your books well."

"Listen to the young master, just study hard." Mrs. Ma didn't want Zhao Aman to get involved in the kitchen, so she hurriedly agreed.

While the entire Dongyuan was in full swing, Wang Long was not idle either.

"You said elder brother has been busy making dim sum in Dongyuan recently?" Wang Long almost didn't laugh out loud, "Even if I'm not good at reading, I still know the truth of a gentleman staying away from the kitchen. Wang Qi claims to be the number one talented person in Pingyao County. But if you go to the kitchen to tinker with things, aren't you afraid of making people laugh?"

Jin Bao flattered him, "That's right, the young master has been so obsessed with dim sum recently, he even went to the poor kiln in the west to pick up a poor old woman, and specially made dim sum for him."

"It's really poor." Wang Long snorted coldly, "Don't you have a cleanliness habit? A poor old woman is not afraid of getting sick from eating things."

Jin Bao said: "Although the young master is tight-lipped, the younger one has also heard some rumors. The young master seems to want to open a dim sum shop to sell dim sum."

"Selling dim sum?" Wang Long was instantly amused, and he looked up at the sky outside: "Did brother's head get pinched by the door? It's going to be hot this day, so selling dim sum at this time, isn't it just looking for trouble for yourself?" .”

Seeing that the master was happy, Jin Bao followed suit and said: "Who said it wasn't? From my humble point of view, the second master is really worrying too much."

"Father suspects that Wang Qi is trying to meddle in the family's business in vain, and there will definitely be some small moves recently, and even the idea of ​​using the military's 300 million taels of silver. Now it seems that it is really too much to worry about." Wang Long sneered.

Jin Bao tentatively asked, "Do you want to continue monitoring them, little one?"

Wang Long waved his hand, and said cheerfully, "No need, I really hope that my brother's dim sum shop can be opened, and then there will be jokes."

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the gift box had already arrived.

The design of this gift box is very simple and elegant, only the logo of Linglongzhai is printed in the center of the top of the box, without any other decorations, it is eye-catching but not too conspicuous.There are petal-shaped compartments inside the box, which can hold several different snacks. Not only does it look good, but the number of snacks will not be too much.Wang Qi was very satisfied.

"Young master, only a hundred of this kind of gift boxes were made, and the others are printed on oiled paper with trademarks. The small ones are afraid that the gift boxes will not be enough." Wang Sheng said worriedly after counting the gift boxes.

With the pen in Wang Qi's hand, she said with a smile: "If all the snacks are packed in gift boxes, you will die if you lose."

"Since this is the case, why is the young master bothering to make gift boxes?" Wang Sheng was puzzled.

Wang Qi turned to ask, "Is there any news from Dong Jue?"

Wang Shengdao: "I have already sent people over. Mr. Dong said that Mrs. Dong will hold a lotus appreciation party in Dong's other courtyard in three days, and invite the ladies and wives in the county to enjoy the lotus and enjoy the cool. Our old lady and the second young lady also received Here comes the invitation."

Nodding, Wang Qi said: "You should write down two things first. Let Granny Ma and the others make [-] boxes and send them to Gubaozhai, and tell Dong Jue that all customers who come to his shop to buy things will be given to them for free. A box of dim sum. Send another [-] boxes to Dong Jue the day after tomorrow, and ask him to send it to the other courtyard of Dong’s family, so that the wives and ladies can taste it. Let Dong Jue be stricter, and if anyone asks, just say it’s from Linglongzhai, and don’t reveal it These snacks are delivered from us."

"Yes." Wang Sheng hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Master, I don't understand, why are you giving away so many snacks for nothing? Isn't this a waste of money?"

Wang Qi looked at the words she had just finished writing, and said with a smile: "If you are willing to give up, you will get something if you give up. If you don't let them taste some sweetness first, how can they know that these snacks are good? I just want to take advantage of this time. The Lotus Club at home will spread the reputation of Linglongzhai."

Wang Sheng lowered his head and thought for a while, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, the young master wants these ladies and ladies to help us spread our reputation."

"That's right." Wang Qi said: "Mrs. Dong's Lotus Club invites all the family members of the family in our county, and the guests who come and go in and out of Gubaozhai are either rich or expensive. If we can win them over, why should we worry about it?" Business can't be done."

Wang Sheng admired: "The young master is still amazing."

Lowering her head and laughing, Wang Qi said, "Keep an eye on the store, pack it up quickly, and don't miss the opening day."

"Please rest assured, young master, the young one will definitely fulfill his mission." In the past few days, Wang Qi has always entrusted him with many important tasks, and Wang Sheng feels that he has been reused and is very motivated.

Seeing Wang Sheng go out boldly, Wang Qi looked down at the three big characters "Linglongzhai" written by her, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The Linglong of Linglongzhai comes from the poem of Wen Tingyun, a poet of the Tang Dynasty: "Linglong dice are placed on red beans, and you can know if you are in love with each other." Linglong means exquisite and transparent.Wang Qi chose this name for the dim sum shop, which means small and delicate, implying that every piece of dim sum inside is exquisite.

Half a month ago, the word "Linglongzhai" caused a lot of trouble in Pingyao County. At first, it was the ladies and wives of officials and wealthy families, and then even ordinary people heard of it.Everyone knows that Linglongzhai's dim sum is not only beautiful in appearance, but also tastes good.It's a pity that this shop has never been officially opened, and even the owner behind it is confusing, and several versions have been circulated in just a few days.

"Brother Qiongju, you have caused me a lot of trouble." Dong Jue looked at Wang Qi and complained, but there was no trace of trouble on his face, "Since you brought those dim sums over last time, my ancient treasure The doors of the restaurant have been trampled down by the customers. Unfortunately, out of the ten people, nine of them came to buy dim sum. Tell me, a good antique shop of mine has suddenly opened into a dim sum shop. You let me buy dim sum in the future. How can you mess around in the antique world?"

Wang Qi took a sip of herbal tea and said with a smile: "Brother Wushuang, you are so cheap and good-looking. I don't know what you are capable of. Once you enter your store, you will definitely not be able to get out without some blood. So many customers If you come to the door, you probably won't make less money."

The two were silent for a while, and at the same time showed a tacit smile.

"It turns out that my brother underestimated you. At first you told me that you were going to open a dim sum shop, and I thought you were dizzy from the sun outside. If you sell dim sum on a hot day, you are not afraid that if the dim sum cannot be sold, it will be thrown into your hands." "Dong Jue said in admiration: "I didn't expect my brother to come up with such a trick. The store is already famous before it opens. At least in the first two months after opening, you don't have to worry about the dim sum not being sold."

Wang Qi said: "Isn't it thanks to Brother Wushuang's help."

"You two don't need to be polite. Not to mention people outside, even my mother and sister thought I was the real owner of Linglongzhai, and complained that I didn't tell them. Now they are arguing every day for snacks, especially that What "flowers bloom riches and honor", they have to think about it several times a day, it can be described as dreaming. Brother Qiongju, you are also a thief. Last time at the Lotus Festival, the gift box you gave It’s big, but there are only a few dim sum in it. Everyone didn’t eat to their heart’s content, can’t you think about it? As a result, a group of ladies and wives pestered my mother to ask where Linglongzhai is.”

After laughing cheerfully for a while, Dong Jue said very seriously: "Seriously, when will your shop open? Now everyone's appetite is under your control. If you don't open now, when will it be. "

Wang Qidao: "The shop is almost ready, and it will open in a few days. At that time, I will need brother Wushuang to help me show up."

"Don't worry about that, the brother's place will definitely be bustling, and let the whole Pingyao County know." Dong Jue promised, patted his chest.

In the past few days, the brothers of the Dong family have helped a lot. Wang Qi cupped her hands and said, "If it weren't for the blessing of Brother Wushuang, my store would not have opened so smoothly. From now on, the Dong family will not eat dim sum, and Linglongzhai will not eat it." cash register."

"It's all business, brother, I'm not someone who takes advantage, so it's fine if you don't accept money." Dong Jue waved his hand generously, and then said: "However, Brother Qiongju, can you give me a few boxes of flowers to bloom for wealth first?" As soon as the urgent need is solved, I am almost driven crazy by my sister recently."

Although Wang Qi has never met Dong Jue's sister, she knows about her.There is only such a daughter in the Dong family, who has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and she is regarded as a treasure in the palm of her hand.I heard that she has already left the court, but she is often taken back to her mother's house to live in.Dong Jue has nothing to do with this sister, and it's normal.

Wang Qi smiled and said: "Okay, I will send someone to deliver two boxes of snacks in the afternoon, which will solve your urgent need."

"It's only two boxes, isn't it a little less?" Dong Jue joked.

Wang Qi said, "I'll give you another ten boxes on the opening day."

"That's about the same." Dong Jue said with satisfaction.
