Qin Zhiyi didn't say much, just said briefly, "You must have asked about it, just to test the other party."

Although both of them have traveled through time, their environments are different, and their current identities are even more different.

Although she was just a restaurant owner, the person opposite her was the emperor's concubine, and she was also a high-ranking concubine.

She had learned about it from Fei Chengsheng before. Although it was not particularly detailed, she also understood that the current emperor's empire was due to more than half of her husband's contribution.

Now the emperor had to rely on her husband but also had taboos. It was difficult to tell whether she and the concubine were friends or foes for a while.

After hearing what she said, Xiao Muyu took her hand and sighed: "The timing and status of your passing through are indeed hard, but you are such a top student... Fortunately, you got through it."

Qin Zhiyi's eyes darkened, it seemed that Concubine Xiao had indeed inquired about her details in private.

She had always abided by her duties and would not offend others unless others offended her, so she just agreed lightly.

Xiao Muyu said again: "I guessed before in the palace that maybe you really are not from this era. Later I heard that you have roast duck and other specialties here, so I thought I must have guessed right."

She paused and said: "Good sister, although I have no worries about food and clothing in the palace, you also know that it is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones. Dozens of women compete for one man's favor, and they are on the edge of a knife every day.

There is no way in life that people like us who have received education in the new era can survive. So I came here just to seek cooperation with you."

"Let me think about it."

Qin Zhiyi did not agree outright, but instead asked about other things: "You are in a high position in the palace, and you were an unpopular little concubine before. If you only rely on the emperor's favor, it is indeed unstable.

"

"So I asked my brother to take the exam for the number one scholar. He did a good job. He passed the exam this year and stayed in the court to work. It also made me proud. Later I plan to give him some guidance and suggest the emperor to reform. When the emperor

With political achievements, he will be reused, and with the support of my mother-in-law, I can be my concubine with peace of mind."

Xiao Muyu didn't hide much, and still held her hand tightly and said: "Good sister, to be honest, I like these dishes you cook. Just hearing the name reminds me of my previous life. It's a pity that I am handicapped.

, I can’t make these delicacies at all. Now that I meet you, I can eat delicious food and make a lot of money at the same time. Of course I want to cooperate with you."

Qin Zhiyi carefully observed the expression on her face and felt that she was not joking. The sincerity on her face even moved her.

"Having your cooperation is indeed a good thing. But this matter cannot be rash. Let me think about it carefully. Give me two days to think about it, and then I will call you."

Xiao Muyu breathed a sigh of relief: "No problem."

After sending Xiao Muyu away, Qin Zhiyi began to think carefully about this matter.

Now that Fei Chengsheng went to train troops for the emperor, she didn't know what the situation was.

The relationship between Emperor Gen Fei and Cheng Sheng is also very subtle. If she agrees to cooperate with Xiao Muyu, the Emperor will definitely know about it.

Once the emperor knew that the two of them were cooperating, she didn't know what consequences it would bring to Fei Chengsheng.

After much thought, Qin Zhiyi decided to ask Aunt Guo.

After listening to her simple narrative, Aunt Guo said earnestly: "It turns out that person is Xiao Guifei. I heard that Xiao Guifei is in the limelight now. If you don't agree to cooperate, I'm afraid you will offend the other party. However, I have always been cautious in dealing with things.

Since you can go to the imperial court... Once you go there, I'm afraid you won't be able to help yourself, so it's okay for you to agree. Who knows if this is another test by the emperor."

That last sentence shocked Qin Zhiyi.

Also, now Fei Chengsheng is already in the capital, and his old subordinates have long been separated by the emperor's excuses, and the military power in their hands no longer exists.

Maybe it was just an excuse for the emperor to recruit him to Beijing for training this time.

As for Concubine Xiao, although she is a time traveler like her, if it is for some kind of benefit... in short, it is necessary to be on guard against others.

"Then I will agree to cooperate with her for the time being."

After making up his mind, Qin Zhiyi began to think about how to cooperate and how to start it in his free time.

When everything was ready, Qin Zhiyi took the initiative to go to the inn to find Xiao Muyu.

When the door opened, Qin Zhiyi said to her, "Kowtow to the noble concubine."

Xiao Muyu hurriedly helped her up: "Why are you so polite when you meet me? Don't be so polite when you see me in the future. Come in and talk."

Qin Zhiyi responded and walked in: "I have already thought about the cooperation you said, and I promise you."

Next, she told Xiao Muyu about opening a hotpot restaurant.

Anyway, if she really wants to open a hotpot restaurant, she can't hide it from Xiao Muyu, who is a time traveler.

So I might as well tell her everything and see if she has any good countermeasures.

Even if there is no good countermeasure, as Xiao Muyu is a favored concubine, cooperating with her is equivalent to having official support, which can avoid unnecessary twists and turns in other aspects.

The two chatted all afternoon and finally settled the matter.

Qin Zhiyi counted on his fingers. Counting all the hot pot restaurants, the whole country would have to open ten.

In terms of restaurants and barbecue restaurants, there are almost a dozen of them.

"Your Majesty, if you open ten stores at once, what should you do if people of this era can't accept this taste?"

Concubine Xiao said: "This problem is not big. What you are worried about is that those dignitaries think that this kind of dish cannot be put on the table. I, the concubine, personally serve as the brand spokesperson. Think about it, in this case, those dignitaries are not

Fighting to eat."

Qin Zhiyi smiled and said, "What you said makes sense."

The two hit it off immediately and started taking action.

All the necessary items for eating hot pot are indispensable. As a royal concubine, she named ten places and immediately sent people to hurry up and rush to the destination to start things.

With the imperial concubine helping to supervise things, things on her side became much less complicated.

After being so busy, another half month has passed. In addition to opening the store, the only thing left is to train a lot of employees.

On her side, she began to prepare barbecue ingredients and secret marinades.

On June 6th, the third brother came back from the capital in a carriage. On the day of his return, the entire Yunyang County people came out to welcome him.

You know, even if it is only second place, it will be famous throughout Yunyang County.

Seeing the third brother getting off the carriage, Qin Zhiyi was filled with emotion in her heart. She had indeed seen the right person.

The first ones to come forward were third sister-in-law Zhang Qiaoniang and her two children.

Zhang Qiaoniang looked at the youngest Qin with red circles in her eyes.

The youngest Qin grabbed Zhang Qiaoniang's hand and wiped away her tears himself.

"Don't cry anymore. Am I back? Come on, let's go to my sister's house first and then talk."
