MTL - On the Day the Scumbag Got Married, I Lay Flat and Became His Sister-in-law-Chapter 165 I'm on my own!
Chapter 165 I have to rely on myself!
"Who said they were going to marry you?" Su Mei glared at Rong Song.
Rong Song smiled coquettishly: "Anyway, the whole capital knows that you are mine. Besides marrying me, who else can you marry?"
"Then can I not get married?" Su Mei couldn't see his arrogance.
Rong Song couldn't stop laughing: "No, I have to marry. If you don't marry, then I won't marry. Meier, don't you think we are a couple made in heaven..."
Xu Yongqian walked further and further away, until he could no longer hear the conversation between the two behind him.
The moment he walked out of the Su residence, he exhaled a foul breath, feeling extremely heavy.
He thought that Su Mei would be moved when she knew that he was going to get married, but who knew that she was with Rong Song long ago, which made his behavior today extremely ridiculous.
Forget it, since Su Mei has followed Rong Song, why should he be obsessed with Su Mei? Anyway, he doesn't like Su Mei either. Originally, she wanted to give them each other a chance, but Su Mei pushed them away by herself, so I can't blame him.
He waved away his thoughts and got into the carriage, but he couldn't help lifting the curtain, watching the gate of the Su residence getting farther and farther away from him...
Rong Song's arrival made Gu Xiyan's trip worthwhile.
She discussed some details with Rong Song, and Rong Song told her the whole plan in detail.
Emperor Cheng De didn't pay much attention to grain production, so that the current grain supply barely maintained a balance between supply and demand. If someone really dared to use grain to make a fuss, it would easily cause a food shortage.
"Not only do we need to open up the grain storehouse as soon as possible, but also reclaim wasteland and plant extensively." Gu Xiyan recalled carefully, but remembered that Mocheng, about 200 miles away from the capital, could make a fuss.
Mocheng, as the name suggests, has been abandoned for many years, the land is barren, and the land is vast and the resources are not abundant. The most worthless land in Dajin is in Mocheng. If grain can be planted in Mocheng, it will definitely bankrupt the conspiracy of Su He and Zhou Xing.
"It is too difficult for the tenants in Mocheng to grow food on a large scale. Mocheng has been drought for many years and cannot grow food. Many tenants are unwilling to do thankless things and change industries." Rong Song thinks this is a good idea. No way.
"It may not be impossible to grow food. As long as we have someone over there to take care of this matter, give all tenants enough money, and sign a contract, many people will return to their old jobs..."
Rong Song vetoed Gu Xiyan's proposal: "No, you gave money, but you couldn't grow food, so didn't all the money go in for nothing?"
This is a loss-making business and cannot be done.
Gu Xiyan said in a deep voice: "As long as you have someone over there to help us take care of this matter, we won't lose money. But I don't have that much cash in hand, and it's too late for me to make money now."
The heavy rain in October also made Mocheng dry for a long time, and she remembered that it also rained intermittently for a month.
Spring plowing in Mocheng will not be a problem in the coming year, and this business will not lose money.
"If you insist, I will definitely be able to find someone trustworthy to do this. Besides, where does the money come from?" Rong Song shook his head and sighed: "Are you sure you want to make it so big?"
Twenty thousand silver is not enough, at least one hundred thousand silver is needed for turnover.
"Do it! I'll figure out a way for the money. You just need to find someone. This matter has to be done before mid-October. Don't talk about it, I'll go find a way to raise money now." Gu Xiyan got up and said.
"Do you know how much silver you need?" Rong Songyang asked.
"Is one hundred thousand taels enough?" Gu Xiyan asked back.
Rong Song fell silent.
All right, he wants to see how she raised one hundred thousand taels in just a few days.
Two chances of 100,000 taels are not enough, but it is definitely Gu Xiyan's ability to raise 100,000 taels under such tight time.
Thinking about it again, if the tenants in Mocheng are really going to be bought by them, and the land can grow food, how much will they earn?
Thinking of this, he is full of energy.
Gu Xiyan is a capable woman, and he thinks she is trustworthy. She is busy raising money, so he will also appoint the steward in Mocheng, and the two will work separately.
If it was impossible, he went to Mocheng himself to take care of this matter.
Gu Xiyan got into the carriage, thinking about how to raise money along the way.
Seeing her solemn expression, Hu Die gave her a suggestion: "Why don't you borrow it from Mr. Zhou. You can tell that Mr. Zhou is not short of money by looking at his demeanor."
Gu Xiyan glanced at her, and replied indifferently: "I borrow money from him when I'm short of money, what is he? He's not a banker, I will find a way myself."
"What do you want between you and me? We're going to get married soon, and what belongs to Mr. Zhou is yours." Hu Die winked at Gu Xiyan.
Gu Xiyan looked firm: "No, I have to rely on myself!"
She can't just go to Zhou Mu when she has a problem, she has to solve the problem by herself, and she must be able to take care of herself and not become Zhou Mu's burden.
That night, Gu Xiyan was still up until midnight, and Qiu Shi felt sorry for her: "Madam, why don't you settle down earlier? Let's continue tomorrow."
"Time is tight, I'll go to bed after I'm done." Gu Xiyan lowered her head and continued writing the menu.
She has the memory of her previous life, and she has been with Zhou Mu for so many years. As an emperor, Zhou Mu had tasted a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas, and she had learned a lot from the sidelines.
There is also the long-lost palace secret cookbook found by Qi Zhiyuan in his previous life, which can play the most critical role.
"I plan to hold an auction for dishes for two consecutive days. They are all dishes that Jixianglou has never had before. The highest price wins." Gu Xiyan told Qiu Shi her plan.
Jixianglou has made great achievements in the past two years, becoming the number one restaurant in Beijing. The diners who come and go to Jixianglou are all distinguished guests from the capital, and the most important thing is money.
In addition, the highest price wins, and the rarest is the most expensive. Even if it is for the sake of face, there will definitely be many diners participating in the auction.
"How many dishes are you planning to shoot on the first day?" Qiu Shi asked.
"It depends on the situation. Try it first, but I don't know if you can get a good price, so the dishes must be novel and the taste must be unique." Gu Xiyan paused, and then said: "By the way, we need to find good food in advance. Toer, to heighten the atmosphere of looting."
Soho played auctions in her previous life, and she also saw Soho looking for babysitters to create an atmosphere of passionate consumption.
Qiu Shi's eyes widened when he heard the words: "Shinuer?"
"Yeah, I don't know who to look for. It's better to have status. Some status in the capital, so that people can't see that it's a nurse..." Gu Xiyan said, her eyes lit up: "I know who to look for .”
"Who is the girl going to find?" Qiu Shi was extremely curious.
"You will know tomorrow." Gu Xiyan's beautiful eyes were bent into a crescent shape.
Who else can I ask, of course, let the girls of the Liu family willingly serve her.
Qiu Shi continued to question, but Gu Xiyan took it easy and wrote about forty dishes and production details. She was so busy that she didn't fall asleep until midnight.
Early the next morning, Gu Xiyan went to Zaohui Hall to greet the old lady.
The four girls of the Liu family put on ugly faces when they saw Gu Xiyan. Although Gu Xiyan didn't have enough sleep time, she was full of energy and energy.
"Grandmother, I want to participate in the food festival held by Jixianglou the day after tomorrow. I heard that there will be food auctions at that time. I am only short of money. Can grandma lend me three thousand taels of silver?" After chatting, Gu Xiyan got to the point.
The old lady's face changed when she heard the words: "Three thousand taels?!"
What kind of dishes cost three thousand taels, and you don’t need so much silver to eat gold?
