Chapter 249: Opening! Opening! Opening!
They were staying at Pang's today and were going to go to the inn, but Hongying refused to do so and insisted on taking them along.
So the two of them had no choice but to stay here. Early in the morning, a servant came to ask for the price and happily gave them the menu.
The menu mainly consists of a daily meal, with prices of 20 or 10 taels. The dishes are also different, just like the group buys on Douyin in the past.
Accommodation is free of charge.
However, if you only want accommodation, it will cost one or two taels of silver per night, and you have to order the food separately.
They were busy like this for three days. At the end of the third day, a young man came to the door of the escort agency and said he wanted to settle the money.
They did a good job and Huanxi was generous. In addition to the coin, he also gave him an extra ounce of silver.
"I don't want this. I only take what I deserve."
He pushed the silver ingot back.
"This is a reward, and there's no other meaning. I just feel sorry for you taking care of those half-grown children by yourself."
"Well...thank you very much..."
He turned around and was about to leave, but Huanxi called him.
"Yunchuan, my home is in Dashi Village. If you have any difficulties, come to me. Just ask for Shuxiangju and I will help you."
Yunchuan frowned and asked, "Why do you want to help me?"
"Because I'm kind."
Yunchuan didn't say anything else, just nodded, bowed and walked away.
Huanxi put on a smile and looked at his back as he left.
"Sister, what's with that expression on your face? Why are you smiling like a villain..."
Huanxi turned around and gave her a slap on the face, then immediately started running away with her head in her hands.
"Damn Nier, do I look like a villain?"
"No, no, my sister is the heroine, embodying truth, goodness, and beauty, shining with the brilliance of humanity."
"That's more like it. Send me the guest list later."
"Okay~"
The Pang Mansion had carrier pigeons that went to Dashi Village. Huanxi hired two young doormen to help look after the business and bought the pigeons at a high price. The corner gate of Furong Pavilion was the address where guests would make reservations in the future.
The two little doormen were Zhilu and Shaohong.
This is only temporary. She has gone out to look at a shop today. It doesn't need to be too big, just a transit station. She has already talked to the workers and is renovating it. It will be completed soon.
By then, we will still have to hire a dedicated employee to look after it. It is not okay to always ask the Pang family for help.
After everything was discussed, Huanxi took He Yuanyuan back to Dashi Village.
Everything at Shuxiangju is being prepared in full swing, just in time for the third day of April.
The capital city was also extremely lively at this time. It had been a long time since the third prince passed away, and the capital city had not been so lively for a long time.
"Have you heard? Princess Ronghua was lost when she was young and was only recently found by the Emperor..."
"I've heard it, I've heard it. This isn't new to you. I'm telling you, I heard that Princess Ronghua was given the title of Princess Ronghua because she saved the emperor's life."
"What? Where did you hear that? Why is it different from what I heard?"
"What did you hear?"
"I heard that Princess Ronghua was born to a commoner woman before the emperor ascended the throne..."
"What? No?"
"How could that be? Have you forgotten that when the Emperor was still the Prince of Yong, he wanted to depose his concubine for a woman?"
"Huh? Is there still such a thing?"
"This incident was a huge uproar at the time, and you didn't even know about it?" The person who brought it up acted condescendingly, pretending to know more than others when he was talking about it...
The capital has been buzzing with news lately about the Emperor's newly conferred title, Princess Ronghua. Not only does this Princess Ronghua have a title, she also has a Princess Mansion bestowed upon her by the Emperor himself. It's said that the decor inside is almost as good as that of a Prince's Mansion.
For a while, everyone was wondering where this Ronghua Princess came from...
However, Xu Qingzhao from the Princess's Mansion was dressed in men's clothes, with an expression of uncontrollable joy on his face.
What made her happy was not her new identity, but that she could go home as Xu Qingzhao.
Someone is waiting for her at home, and Princess Ronghua who stayed in the capital is a substitute.
"Hey... Zhao Huanxi also asked me to tell you to be careful when you go home."
A woman dressed as a maid spoke to her with her back straight, without a trace of respect in her eyes.
"Thank you very much."
"Besides, I can only play you here for three months at most, no more."
"I'll be back soon. Thank you for your hard work."
"Hmph, I really don't know why you have to go back. This node is very dangerous. If things go wrong..." She sighed and continued, "You don't know these things, but you'd better come back quickly..."
"it is good."
She couldn't wait any longer, she wanted to go back and see her.
It's been so long, she missed her so much...
Taking advantage of the night, he mounted his horse and disappeared into the darkness.
The maid behind her stomped her feet and turned back to the mansion angrily.
In half a month, we should be able to reach Shang'an Prefecture...
"Everyone, Shuxiangju is opening today. Friends and family, all dishes are 30% off today! Accommodation is free!"
Huanxi got up early in the morning. Yuanzhen combed her hair into an elegant style and inserted some jade hairpins into it. She also put on a green dress, which made her look particularly fresh and refined without losing her elegance.
As the firecrackers outside were set off and the red silk of Shuxiangju was unveiled, everyone was filled with joy.
There are quite a lot of people coming to Shuxiangju today, most of them are from wealthy families in the town, some are just a few good friends, and some come with their families.
Since the courtyards were arranged in an orderly manner, Yuanzhen and Yuanyuan led people to their reserved courtyards in an orderly manner. Everyone was amazed that this place was like a fairyland.
The employees were all wearing uniform work clothes, and they were clean and meticulous. Although it was early April, it was still a bit chilly. I didn't expect that after entering the yard, it would be as warm as summer. Even those who had seen the world nodded in agreement.
Once people enter, the dishes will be served according to the size of the table they have ordered.
"What...what kind of dish is this? Why have I never eaten it before?"
“This is too delicious!”
"Popcorn Chicken! I know that!"
Similar remarks kept happening in the four hospitals. Fortunately, the staff were all trained, and they answered questions meticulously and provided very thoughtful service.
The banquets in the four courtyards lasted until the afternoon when the guests gradually dispersed. Some people came out to digest their food and surprisingly discovered that there were various orchids in this inconspicuous little house.
There were guards at the door, and everyone just visited and then left.
When Shuxiangju quieted down at night, Huanxi was so tired that she almost broke her waist...
There’s nothing I can do. My feet are swollen from standing all day.
Yuanzhen brought hot water. She took off her shoes and socks and soaked in the basin. She immediately felt comfortable.
"Ma'am, is the water temperature right?"
"It's perfect, absolutely perfect... Yuanzhen, do you want to know how much money we earned today?"
"I only know a rough outline... I don't know anything else..."
Huanxi opened the account book and showed her the checked figures.
Yuanzhen has also learned some characters recently, and was also stunned when she saw the numbers above.
"so much?"
"Today's reservations alone have already reached the middle of the month. The reservation fee is five taels of silver, and all four courtyards are full. Guess how much that is?"
"A few hundred taels, right?"
"That doesn't even include the membership cards we sold. They're one hundred taels each, and those with them get a 20% discount on meals. I sold five of them today."
So today's profit is more than seven hundred taels.
