Chapter 256 Departure to Baocheng County
Chapter 256 Departure to Baocheng County
After dinner, Aunt Zhang and Mrs. Wen worked for a while before they finished making two sets of clothes for Lin Jingyou.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Lin Jingyou got on the carriage, ready to set off for Qinghe County first, and then ride from Qinghe County to Baocheng County.
Shen Wanning sat with him in the carriage. This time they planned to stay in the county town for one night and then go to discuss franchising with the major bosses tomorrow.
Of course, it was also to send Lin Jingyou off.
Lin Jingcheng was driving the carriage in front, and neither of them dared to speak too loudly.
Along the way, Lin Jingyou held Shen Wanning's hand tightly and said, "Oh, I really want to take you to Baocheng County. Since we've been together, we've been apart for a long time. I don't know when I can marry you."
"Didn't the emperor say that? I'll wait for you to return to Beijing to report on your work in three years." Shen Wanning said nonchalantly.
"If it weren't for the emperor's joke, I would have proposed to you. There are still three years left, which is so long. How can I get through it?" Lin Jingyou sighed.
"In the next three years, I will visit my third brother from time to time. Now I have learned to ride a horse. Whenever I miss my third brother, I can get there in half a day by riding a horse. It's very fast." Shen Wanning continued.
Lin Jingyou picked up Shen Wanning and gently placed her on his lap. "You must remember to come see me that night. Don't just focus on business and forget about me."
"No, I miss you all the time. If you're on leave, you can come back and visit us from time to time, or write to us."
"Well, then you must be good, and the most important thing is to pay attention to safety. Third brother doesn't object to you doing business, but the premise is that you must protect yourself. The business world is like a battlefield, and some unscrupulous businessmen may use shady tricks, so Wan Ning must be careful." Lin Jingyou instructed.
"Don't worry, Third Brother, I know. If something really happens, I will ask Brother He for help." Shen Wanning responded.
"Why don't you come to Baocheng County and open a milk tea shop! If you encounter any problems, I can help you." Lin Jingyou gently pressed his forehead against Shen Wanning's forehead, his tone full of reluctance.
"Once the business here stabilizes, I will definitely go to Baocheng County to open a shop. Third brother, wait for me, it will be here soon." Shen Wanning comforted.
The two of them lingered in the carriage for a while and soon arrived at the county town.
When she got off the carriage, not only was Shen Wanning's face red, but her mouth was too, as if her lips were painted with rouge.
Lin Jingcheng saw through it but didn't say anything. He just took the two of them to the house in the county town and brought Lin Jingyou's horse from the backyard.
"Third brother, have a safe trip. Second brother and the family will come to see you if they have time. You must be a good official and don't let your family down. Now that our family is rich, you can't lose yourself." Lin Jingcheng patted Lin Jingyou on the shoulder and advised.
"Second brother, do you think I am that kind of person? I can't even spend all my salary, so how could I do such corrupt and illegal things?" Lin Jingyou smiled and patted his arm.
"Go!" Lin Jingcheng sighed and said.
Lin Jingyou lifted his robe and immediately mounted his horse. Shen Wanning waved at him and said, "Third brother, take care. We will come to see you soon."
Lin Jingyou nodded at her, took a last reluctant look at her, and rode away.
After seeing Lin Jingyou off, Lin Jingcheng drove the carriage to the shop. Shen Wanning went with him, but she didn't go to the shop. Instead, she got off the carriage on the street.
She had promised to treat her netizens to a banquet before. Since she had nothing to do this afternoon, she could go to the restaurant and order a table of food and wine.
After thinking about it, she went to the shop and bought a veil hat and a cheap set of clothes to change into.
Finally, wearing a veil hat, he entered a restaurant.
"Waiter, I need a private room." Shen Wanning said in a deliberately hoarse voice.
"Okay, how many guests are there?" the waiter asked with a nod and a bow.
"One." Shen Wanning replied in a cold voice.
The waiter was stunned for a moment, but thinking that there were few customers in the restaurant, it would be okay to give her a private room.
So, the waiter led Shen Wanning into a private room. After Shen Wanning sat down, the waiter asked, "Excuse me, sir, what dishes would you like?"
Shen Wanning thought for a moment and said, "Just serve one portion of all the dishes in your restaurant!"
"What? Sir, we have a total of thirty-eight dishes in our restaurant. Are you sure?" The waiter looked at Shen Wanning in shock.
Shen Wanning nodded. "Don't worry, I have the money to pay. I just want to try the food in your restaurant. I have a distinguished guest coming to visit in a few days, so I want to try the dishes in various restaurants first."
After saying that, Shen Wanning took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
The waiter took a look at the silver, put on a smile and said, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment, we will serve the food right away. The table here is too small, I don't think it will fit, I will go move another table for you."
After a while, the waiter brought a table and started serving the dishes one after another.
When the tenth dish was delivered, the waiter saw that the food on the table was untouched and reminded, "Sir, if you don't eat these dishes now, they will get cold and become unpalatable."
Shen Wanning smiled and said, "It's okay. Wait for you to serve all the dishes first. I can make a comparison while tasting them."
The waiter thought to himself, this guest is really strange, but he didn't say anything more.
By the time all 38 dishes were served, they had already filled up two large tables.
"Hey, waiter, how much is the total?" Shen Wanning asked.
The waiter replied, "The total is twenty-four taels and six cents."
Shen Wanning nodded and took out two ten-liang silver ingots and one five-liang silver ingot and handed them to the waiter. "Here is a total of twenty-five liang. No need to change. The rest is your hard work fee."
The waiter was very happy. He walked out with the silver ingot in his hand. After he left, he did not forget to close the door for her. "Sir, please enjoy your meal. If you need anything, please call me."
"Well, I don't like being disturbed when I'm eating. If you don't have my permission, don't come in and disturb me while I'm eating." Shen Wanning said.
"Okay, I'll guard the door and don't let anyone in." After saying that, the waiter closed the door and left.
As soon as the waiter left, Shen Wanning immediately took out some takeout boxes from the express station and packed the dishes into the boxes.
If there are more dishes, divide them into several takeaway boxes.
When I finally finished packing, I counted and found there were over 60 takeout boxes. Now I can treat my fellow netizens to a feast.
It’s a pity that there are too many netizens and I can’t let all of them have a taste.
From the moment the dishes were served, netizens in the live broadcast room kept saying “wow”.
Yunfu: I thought the dishes cooked in ancient times were not very good, but I didn’t expect the presentation to be so exquisite!
