Chapter 16 The First Steps to Economic Freedom
As soon as Sheng Zhiyao walked into the mansion, she heard someone calling her.
"Zhiyao, are you back?"
"Mother." Sheng Zhiyao ran over quickly.
Qi Xinyue gently pinched her little face: "Where did you go early in the morning? Have you had lunch?"
"No, I just passed by Juxianlou and wanted to go in for dinner, but I found that I had no money." Sheng Zhiyao looked at her mother helplessly.
As a result, Qi Xinyue picked her up with heartache: "It was her mother's negligence. Now let Mei'er go and find Mama Li to get some silver. After spending it, she will find Mama Li to get it."
"Yes, thank you mother." Sheng Zhiyao happily kissed her mother's face.
"Are you hungry? Let's go for a meal."
Sheng Zhiyao nodded happily.
"Zhiyao is back!" Sheng Zhengye stood up happily when he saw his precious daughter coming back.
"Father."
"Come here and have lunch ready."
"Yes, Zhiyao is almost starving to death." Sheng Zhiyao touched her belly, sat next to her father and saw the table full of delicious food, picking up chopsticks and preparing to eat, but she found that her father had not picked up the chopsticks and silently before she could pick up the chopsticks.
Put it back again.
Qi Xinyue saw it but didn't say anything. It seemed that these old marquis taught Zhiyao very well.
"Come on, Zhiyao and eat it quickly. This is the meal your mother cooks for you personally. Try it quickly." Sheng Zhengye picked up a piece of meat for her and put it in a bowl, and Sheng Zhiyao happily started eating it.
"The food my mother cooks is so delicious, and I will eat it often in the future." Sheng Zhiyao did not forget to praise her while eating. Although these dishes are not as delicious as she cooks, they are more hungry than eating without food.
good.
Qi Xinyue couldn't stop hearing her praise and laughed, and hurriedly added a lot of dishes to Zhiyao's bowl.
After lunch, Zhiyao ran back to his yard and told his maids that she wanted to take a nap.
Zhiyao, who had closed the door, was lying on the bed and began to think about how to make money. Although the Hou Mansion was not short of money, she could not rely on her parents and grandfather for the rest of her life.
With a thought, she returned to the villa, sat at the dining table with a can of Coke, thinking about what she could make her first pot of gold.
Finally, she glanced at the corner of the eye and found the Jinhua ham that her grandfather had been put in the cabinet. She quickly took it out and opened the packaging box and carefully cut it down. She picked a few cabbage leaves from the ground in the backyard. An hour later
A fresh and fragrant cabbage soup was out of the pot.
Sheng Zhiyao took the bowl of soup out of the villa and walked towards his grandfather's yard.
She walked into the door and found that the old Marquis was sitting on a chair drinking tea. Butler Li stood beside him and seemed to be talking to him: "Grandpa, try it."
The old marquis put down the tea in his hand, and a salty smell came: "What do you want grandpa to taste?"
"Here, look." Sheng Zhiyao put the soup bowl on the table.
"Cake Soup?" Old Marquis Sheng looked at Sheng Zhiyao in confusion.
"Butler Li, come with two pairs of bowls and spoons, grandpa, please try it first."
Not long after, Butler Li brought the tableware, Sheng Zhiyao served two bowls of soup and gave it to the old Marquis and handed it to Butler Li.
"I have it too?" Butler Li was a little surprised.
"Of course, it's the same as before." As soon as these words came out, Butler Li was stunned.
After that car accident, he and Mr. Sheng traveled to this era together. In addition to the changes in appearance and voice, he was still by the old man. He had long noticed that the old man's granddaughter was different.
In his last life, Li Qiao was a veteran. The old man found out that he was looking for a job in the talent market. The old man glanced at his resume and asked him to be a driver.
After Sheng Zhiyao's parents passed away, they were the only three of them living together in the villa. They had long regarded Li Qiao as their uncle. They would ask Li Qiao to eat together every time they cook. Of course, they would ask him to be with his grandfather whenever they cook new dishes.
"Little White Mouse".
Sheng Zhiyao looked at grandpa and Butler Li drank the soup, and couldn't wait to know their feelings: "How is it? How does it taste?"
"You used my Jinhua ham?" Grandpa guessed what ingredients she used after drinking.
"Yes, anyway, it's better to put it on..."
Mr. Sheng looked at her with a clever look and knew what she had thought: "It's better to open a restaurant, right?"
"How do you know?" Sheng Zhiyao was thinking about how grandpa knew her thoughts, but Butler Li smiled: "Miss, every time you finish cooking at home, you will tell us that if you don't do research in the future, you will open a restaurant and be the boss.
.”
Sheng Zhiyao touched her head and smiled awkwardly: "Haha~ Is that right?"
The old marquis nodded affirmatively: "I won't do research now, do you want to open it?"
"Yes, I didn't bring my money out today, so I was ridiculed by the waiter at the entrance of Juxian Building." Sheng Zhiyao muttered aggrievedly, lowered her head and rubbed the corner of her clothes.
"Haha~ How are you going to implement it?" Grandpa is grandpa. Every time he has some ideas, he will ask Sheng Zhiyao to make a plan.
"Not yet, I'll plan it in the next few days."
"You should know that Jinhua ham is not something that can be made in one go. Without it, this is just an ordinary dish." The old marquis reminded him specially.
"Don't worry about this grandpa, I have a lot of them." Sheng Zhiyao stretched out her hand with a bracelet and shook it. The old marquis instantly understood what she was thinking.
Mr. Sheng had nothing to say, who told his granddaughter that he had a treasure: "Then I wish you success."
"Okay." Sheng Zhiyao felt that the iron should be used while it was hot. This time she left the mansion with confidence, followed by Mei'er and Zhu'er. They planned to go to the street where Juxianlou was first.
When she left before, she found that there was a small restaurant called Qingfenglou opposite Juxianlou. Although it was not as good as Juxianlou's business, there were some customers.
Sheng Zhiyao and the other two walked into the store, and the waiter immediately came to greet him with a smile. He did not treat each other differently because of the simple dress of her three: "Please, please come in!"
Sheng Zhiyao looked up and down at the restaurant specifications and was definitely much worse than Juxianlou, but she was planning to steal Juxianlou's business here to let them know what the real way of hospitality is.
"The waiter gives me one of the signature dishes in your store, just don't have too much to the three of us."
"Okay, three of you sit first, and the younger one will let the kitchen prepare for you immediately." The waiter wiped the table and chairs and asked them to sit down, and walked towards the kitchen.
After a while, the dishes were served. Although Sheng Zhiyao had just eaten at home, maybe because she was still growing, she felt a little hungry again.
"Miss, this dish tastes average. No wonder there are so few customers, but the price is cheaper." Mei'er said to the dish sign hanging behind the counter.
"This way our dishes have a chance of winning."
"That's right, the dishes made by the lady are even better than those in Juxianlou." Zhu'er put down her chopsticks and looked at Mei'er proudly.
"You seem to have eaten the dishes from Juxianlou." Sheng Zhiyao suddenly poured a basin of cold water on Zhu'er, and Zhu'er was speechless: "Let's go, let's find the shopkeeper."
Sheng Zhiyao took the two of them to the counter and looked at the shopkeeper who was settled. The shopkeeper didn't raise his head and called the waiter: "Waiter, let's see which table the customer officers are from, I can calculate the money."
"Wait, I want to do business with you, what do you think?" The shopkeeper raised his head and looked at Sheng Zhiyao, who was not as tall as the counter, and smiled: "Little kid, what business do you want to do with me? I
