Chapter 255 The second purpose
Chapter 255 The second purpose
"I understand. Miss, your consideration makes sense." Qian Laiye pondered for a while and began to list the help he could provide to the Lin siblings.
"I will arrange for a few honest and responsible clerks to go to the Piaomiao Pavilion managed by Miss Jinxiu, and I will also have people pay more attention to the situation there on weekdays."
"Master Lin Cheng is going to take the imperial examination. I can collect some questions from previous imperial examinations and published imperial examination essays, which should be able to provide him with some help."
"If Miss Wuyou writes a storybook, I can't help her. After all, all the storybooks on the market are similar. If Miss Wuyou reads too many of them, it might have a negative impact on her creation."
Lin Chuyi smiled and shook his head at Qian Laiye after hearing this. "I know you have good intentions, but there is really no need to do this. I asked Lin Jinxiu to start with Piao Miao Pavilion just to use the momentum of Piao Miao Pavilion to avoid some unnecessary troubles. I don't intend to consider everything for her in other aspects."
"I can protect her temporarily, but I can't protect her forever. The reputation of Piaomiao Pavilion can solve a lot of problems invisibly. She needs to face the rest of the troubles by herself. No matter what the final result is, it is always experience for her personally."
"When she opens her own shop in the future, she will face more troubles. Knowing that people are treacherous in advance will be beneficial to her future development. So, you can arrange the affairs of Piao Miao Pavilion as you wish. You don't need to give her any special care just because she is my eldest sister."
"Lin Cheng has just started his studies and has not yet laid a solid foundation. He has not even touched the edge of the Tongsheng exam. Preparing imperial examination questions and model essays for him now is like asking someone who has just started learning arithmetic to read the argumentation process of the world's difficult problems. Not only will he not understand it, but it will also easily leave him with psychological pressure. Therefore, it is too early to prepare these things now. It will not be too late to prepare these things when he becomes a scholar on his own."
"Your analysis of Lin Wuyou's problem is correct. Reading too many formulaic works will indeed affect her creation. Perhaps she can find the reasons why these works are popular and apply them to her own works to make them sell well, but if this continues for a long time, it will only continue to consume the spiritual energy of her works, and eventually they will be lost in the crowd. I can't let her waste her talent like this."
"So, I don't have any special arrangements for them at the moment. What they need to do now is to study and accumulate knowledge step by step. I won't put too much pressure on them. And you already have a lot of things to deal with, so there's no need to add to your burden. Just follow the rules."
"Okay, I get it. Everything at the factory and the branch is going on in an orderly manner. This is the current progress of each aspect. Please take a look, young lady."
The help that Qian Laiye proposed did not require much effort for him, but since Lin Chuyi had clearly stated that he did not need it, he naturally would not force it. After agreeing to it, he took out several progress documents and gave them to Lin Chuyi for review.
Lin Chuyi waved his hand and refused. "I won't look at it. You guys can discuss this matter among yourselves. My main purpose of coming to Lanzhou this time is not to see the progress of industrial development. You find what I want first. Once this matter is finalized, I will leave."
"Oh, okay." Qian Lai was also very straightforward. Seeing that Lin Chuyi didn't want it, he put the document down directly, took out a locked cabinet with the key, and took out a locked box from the cabinet. After the box was opened, the neatly arranged house deeds and land deeds were revealed.
Qian Lai also took out the house deeds and spread them out on the table, motioning Lin Chuyi to choose by herself, "Girl, at present, all the house deeds and land deeds that we don't have any specific use for are here. You can find any shop or house of any size you need here."
When Lin Chuyi saw Qian Lai, he also took out a stack of property deeds that were thicker than his fingers, and was a little surprised, "You've already bought so much? Old Qian, you're really good."
Qian Lai stroked his mustache proudly, "It's not too bad. The main reason is that you gave me enough money, and there was a major reshuffle in the Lanzhou officialdom. After many stores were confiscated, they began to be sold. I took advantage of the low price and bought more. Even if Yipin Guo and Jiangxinfang can't be used, other industries can. In order to prevent people from seeing the connection, I specially recorded these industries under different people's names."
"If you need it, just take more. I will arrange for people to gradually transfer all these properties to your name so that you can use them at any time."
When Lin Chuyi heard Qian Laiye say this, she remembered the troubles she had when buying the house. She felt a headache and shook her head at Qian Laiye.
"I'll just pick a few. If I pick more, they won't be useful. Don't bother two people with one thing. You can help me with the change of household registration later, and then arrange for a reliable person to deliver these things to Yuan Qizi."
"Row."
Lin Chuyi picked out the one that suited her best from a row of house deeds and land deeds. After handing them over to Qian Laiye, Lin Chuyi told Qian Laiye the current address of Yuan Qizi and her general plans for the future. Then she said goodbye to Qian Laiye and began to carry out the second purpose of her visit to Lanzhou City.
Lin Chuyi spent a month walking through the streets and alleys of Lanzhou City, eating at restaurants and stalls of all sizes in Lanzhou City. If she met an owner who caught her eye, she would quietly leave behind the improved recipes of the dishes he had eaten.
When the store owner saw the recipe left by Lin Chuyi, although he was puzzled, he still asked the chef he hired or himself to prepare the ingredients in the improved recipe and try to make it according to the steps written in the improved recipe. As a result, the dishes they made tasted much better than the dishes they made before.
In this day and age, recipes can be treated as heirlooms. Most of the recipes in restaurants and hotels are passed down from generation to generation. When it comes to improving secret recipes, all the stores tacitly keep silent about it.
But it didn't take long before people discovered that the dishes made by many shops were better than before. Someone spread the news that a certain restaurant had got the improved recipe first, and gradually, other shops could no longer hide the fact that they had got the improved recipes.
But no matter how the news spread, no one knew which expert left the improved recipe.
For a time, rumors spread throughout Lanzhou City, and two versions were the most widely circulated.
