Chapter 356: Using Literary Talent for a Good Cause
After returning from Liu Mansion, it was almost evening, and before Qin Feng left, Yaan arrived at the Qin residence with some people.
Seeing the harmless smile on the other partys face, Qin Feng smiled, Since I promised you earlier, I wont go back on my word. You dont need to come to the Qin Residence to meet me.
Yaan waved her hand, Brother Qin, dont misunderstand. I was just worried that since youre new here, you might not know how to get to the Start Seizing Tower. Thats why I came to guide you.
Qin Feng looked at Wang Xu beside her with a strange expression, Guide me? If it werent for Brother Wangs guidance, you wouldnt even be able to find the entrance to the Qin Residence, right?
This remark hit Yaans sore spot. Her face darkened as she turned around and walked towards the west.
However, Wang Xu stopped her, Young master, the way to the Start Seizing Tower is on the other side.
The situation became a bit awkward for a moment. Anyway, Qin Feng had planned to take his wife and Ningshuang to the Start Seizing Tower to experience something new.
However, for some reason, after leaving the Liu Mansion, the two women seemed a bit distracted, avoiding eye contact and even rejecting the proposal to go to the Start Seizing Tower together.
In their words, they had more important things to attend to.
Could it be cultivation? Qin Feng was confused, but he had no choice but to leave the Qin Mansion with Black Charcoal Head as his guard.
Miss, young master has left, Lan Ningshuang said crisply in the kitchen.
Hmm. With Liu Jianlis strength, she naturally knew that Qin Feng had already left.
They had sent all the servants out of the kitchen to improve their cooking skills.
They couldnt count on that unreliable mother, so when they were at the Liu Mansion, they went to look for Grandma and got the recipe passed down from her ancestors.
It had to be said that Grandmas recipe was worlds away from what their mother had given them.
It not only detailed how to handle vegetables and meat, but also meticulously marked the timing, temperature, and amounts of oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar to be used.
In Lan Ningshuangs heart, her admiration for Granny rose to a new level.
How is the restaurant going? Yaan asked on the way.
I had the people from the Divine Workshop start construction. It should be ready to open in three days at the most. Qin Feng replied, glancing at the brightly lit scenery even though it was already night.
After all, Imperial City was the imperial capital, and even at night, it remained brightly lit.
The pedestrians were moving incessantly and the shouts of the merchants were even louder than during the day.
Yaan nodded and reminded him, The Imperial City is not like Qiyuan City. Its not that easy for your restaurant to become famous here.
Of course I understand that, but dont I still have you? Qin Feng said with a smile.
How do you want me to help you? Yaan asked curiously.
If I remember correctly, the auction at the Gathering Treasure Pavilion will be held soon. Back in Jinyang City, in addition to the Drunken Immortal, I also gave you a spice that enhances taste. Do you remember? Qin Feng asked.
Yaan nodded knowingly, I understand your meaning. I will use my connections to have the Gathering Treasure Pavilion in Imperial City auction your seasoning during the event, and use the opportunity to promote your restaurant.
Thank you for that. Qin Feng said, clasping his hands.
But if I help you like this, whats in it for me? Yaan asked.
With our relationship, discussing benefits seems a bit formal. Besides, you will receive a monthly profit share from the Moonlit Pavilion branch. The more the restaurant earns, the more you will naturally gain. Qin Feng explained.
Haha, were all businessmen. Theres no need for such formalities between us. But in order to help you in the Imperial City through the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, I will need to spend favors and resources. Yaan said.
Isnt it said that women are emotional? Playing the emotional card didnt work, she was truly money minded. Qin Fengs expression stiffened, Then what do you want?
I want an additional five percent of the restaurants monthly profit in the future. Of course, I wont make you suffer. In the later stages, if you continue to open branches in Imperial City, Ill help you with location and promotion.
I can even provide you with manpower and allow you to use the name of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion. How about that? Yaan turned her head and looked at him.
Five percent for this, no matter how you look at it, is definitely profitable.
If you want to gain a foothold in Imperial City, you will definitely have to face all kinds of challenges and obstacles.
The Gathering Treasure Pavilion, with its mysterious background, is the best protection for the restaurant.
However, even though Qin Feng has already accepted this proposal in his heart, he pretends to hesitate and says, Isnt five percent too much? Considering our friendship, how about three percent?
A businessman who doesnt rise in early without profit naturally wants to earn as much as possible.
Yaan thought for a moment. She was very optimistic about the prospects of Qin Feng Restaurant.
After all, the Drunken Immortal and Hot Pot made her eyes light up, even if she had eaten delicacies from all over the world.
As long as this restaurant was well managed, it would definitely be able to compete with the Start Seizing Tower and bring in substantial profits.
Having figured this out, Yaan was about to agree when she noticed Qin Fengs gaze drifting elsewhere.
Following his gaze, she looked in the direction of the brothel.
Orioles and swallows, not to mention the beauty holding a pipa half covering her face, need not be said much. The light curtains, adorned with red sleeves adding fragrance, enhance the charm even more.
Looking at these beautiful women, Qin Feng couldnt help but sigh. The brothels in Imperial City, even the streetwalkers, can compete with the courtesans in Jinyang City.
No wonder the old patron, Mr. Si, who has only visited Imperial City a few times, cant stop praising the courtesans here.
Looking at the scale of the brothels architecture, Qin Fengs eyes were truly opened, and he was quite impressed.
He had read in a book that courtesans were also divided into three, six, and nine ranks.
The best, first, and second rank courtesans usually had names ending in Yuan (courtyard), Guan (hall), or Ge (pavilion), which sounded quite elegant.
Take, for example, the Fragrance Drifting Court not far ahead. The pavilion on the second floor was semi-open, and each room was designed like a courtyard.
Inside, there were charming young ladies either playing the guzheng or blowing the jade flute, and there were even people swinging on swings!
With the swings movement, slender jade legs could be vaguely seen under the pink dresses, captivating the heart.
This was far more clever than those street girls who directly showed their legs!
Qin Feng was intrigued and thought of a poem from his past life, and couldnt help but recite it aloud: Kicking away the autumn, she lazily tidied up her delicate hands, revealing dense flowers on her slender figure. Thin sweat seeped through her light clothes.
Wang Xu, who was also fascinated by the brothel scene, turned around and praised, Brother Qin is truly poetic. This poem speaks to the depths of my heart.
No matter where you are, its just an expression of your feelings. Qin Feng waved his hand.
No wonder Brother Qin, who wrote the poem of timeless beauty in the Hundred Flowers Valley, can effortlessly produce such poetry. However, I hope Brother Qin will use this talent in the right way, dont go astray, Yaan said coldly.
Why did she speak with such a strange tone? Did she take gunpowder? Qin Feng smiled and brought the conversation back on track, By the way, about my proposal just now.
Five percent, no less.
Ugh.
