Chapter 149 Gaa gaa gaa
Gu Ziying nodded: "That would be acceptable."
Li Shuchen frowned and said, "Based on this calculation, all the gold on a single golden pomelo tree could be sold for several thousand taels of silver."
That wealthy businessman sold me Sanguozhuang for such a low price; I really got a great deal.
But he went back to his wife's hometown, and I don't know how to repay him.
Gu Ziying: "Perhaps he felt that you were destined to be with him, so he gave it to you, half-selling and half-giving it away. If you are destined to meet again in the future, you may meet again."
Li Shuchen thought for a moment and nodded.
"That's true, I'm still so young, and I have a whole life ahead of me."
Princess Changning: "Li Shuchen, give Sanguozhuang a name. Just calling it Sanguozhuang doesn't sound right."
Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen lowered his head slightly in thought, and after a stick of incense burning (2 minutes and 30 seconds), he said...
"The third orchard will be called 'Morning Glow Orchard,' and the second orchard will be called 'Dawn Orchard.'"
Gu Ziying: "The names are all nice. What does Shu Chen want with me?"
Li Shuchen took out a sheet of paper and said, "I've drafted the menu, take a look."
Gu Ziying took the menu and examined it carefully.
"Hot dishes are fine, as is soup, but among cold dishes, cold enoki mushroom salad is a bit inconvenient."
Princess Changning said upon hearing this, "Enoki mushrooms easily get stuck in your teeth. If they do,..."
Go ahead and pick it; I'm too embarrassed in front of so many young ladies and gentlemen.
If you don't pick at the fruit, it'll be uncomfortable with the food stuck in your teeth, so you won't feel like admiring or buying any.
During the auction, all I could think about was getting home and picking my teeth, so I had no interest in bidding.
This situation significantly impacts the customer experience and is indeed inconvenient.
Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen nodded in deep agreement and said, "Then let's change this dish to... sesame sauce cold noodles."
Princess Changning raised an eyebrow: "Sesame sauce cold noodles? I've never heard of them, and I've also never heard of 'Happy Roast Duck.' Has Shu Chen tried them?"
Li Shuchen chuckled and said, "It's my own idea. I haven't made it yet. Once I've figured it out, I'll definitely invite you to taste it."
Princess Changning was filled with anticipation and said, "Then you'd better hurry up and finish it."
Li Shuchen nodded: "Understood."
Gu Ziying: "Considering the various inconveniences for customers, could Shu Chen prepare two rooms at Zhaohui Fruit Shop for their use?"
Li Shuchen: "Of course, when I took the girls' clothes back to Zhaohui Fruit Manor, I went to pack them up."
Gu Ziying: "Remember to call me along, we can set up the scene together."
Li Shuchen: No problem
Gu Ziying: "So, do you have any further questions?"
Princess Changning: "I didn't."
Li Shuchen: "I have them. Changning, how many people did you send invitations to?"
Princess Changning: "Invitations have been sent to fifty families, and we expect about one hundred people."
Li Shuchen thought for a moment and said, "If each table seats six people, we would need to budget for twenty tables."
Gu Ziying: "Yes"
Princess Changning: "This banquet we are hosting this time should be the largest ever, with the most guests ever invited."
Li Shuchen was shocked upon hearing this. The largest number of people at once?
He couldn't help but ask, "How many people attended your previous banquets?"
Gu Ziying: "Not counting the palace banquet, there were probably around twenty or thirty people."
Li Shuchen nodded: "In that case, this banquet we're hosting is truly grand; we must prepare carefully."
Gu Ziying said, "Of course, this is also my first time organizing such a large-scale banquet."
Princess Changning: "I have already asked my mother to give me more guards so that I can escort the young masters and ladies of various families."
Li Shuchen said earnestly, "Safety must be guaranteed."
Gu Ziying: "Does Shu Chen have anything else to say?"
Li Shuchen: "That's all for now."
Gu Ziying said, "Since there's nothing else, I'll head back. I haven't gone to choose the tableware yet."
Li Shuchen also said, "Alright, I'm going to have a furnace made by craftsman Kong too."
Princess Changning: "I'll go and oversee the guards' training."
Li Shuchen stood up: "Alright, everyone, let's work together for a perfect banquet."
"Good"*2
The three parted ways.
Li Shuchen took out a pen and ink and sketched the specific shape of the roast duck oven on the paper.
After drawing
After carefully putting away the blueprints, I took the grapes to Kong Craftsman's shop.
Li Shuchen entered and said, "Craftsman Kong, are you busy?"
Kong the Craftsman: "Miss Li, what brings you here?"
Li Shuchen took out the blueprints and asked, "I wonder if Craftsman Kong can make this furnace?"
The craftsman, Kong, took the blueprints and examined them closely: "I've made this style of stove before. It's not difficult to make. Miss Li, you can rest assured and leave it to me."
Li Shuchen: "Since Craftsman Kong has already done it, I don't need to say anything more. I need two furnaces. When will they be finished?"
The craftsman, Kong, confidently declared, "Tomorrow, I will send someone to deliver it to the Happiness Inn."
Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen smiled and asked, "If that's the case, then what's the price?"
Craftsman Kong: "Miss Li is a regular customer; ten taels of silver will suffice."
"Many thanks to craftsman Kong"
Li Shuchen paid the money and took the grapes to the South Market to see if there were any ducks for sale.
It has to be plump and juicy.
As she was thinking, she suddenly tripped over something, but luckily she reacted quickly enough to avoid falling.
"quack"
Li Shuchen looked at the duck in front of him, gave him a defiant look, and then quacked again.
"Gaga," you little brat, you can't do it! (lalala)
"Gaga" is such a waste ㄟ(▔,▔)ㄏ
The duck flapped its wings to get away
Li Shuchen couldn't stand it any longer, so he started grabbing the duck with his bare hands, chasing after it while shouting.
"If you've got the guts, don't run away."
With a "quack," the duck drifted away and turned into a small alley.
Li Shuchen followed closely behind, but Grape could no longer catch up.
"Miss, wait for me!"
"Quack quack!" The duck scurried forward, glancing back as it went, its mockery palpable. →_→
Li Shuchen vowed to catch this duck.
"You stinky duck, I'm going to eat you!"
"Gaga!" Go ahead and catch me if you dare! ㄟ(▔,▔)ㄏ
Li Shuchen tried to grab the duck several times, almost succeeding each time, but the duck always managed to slip through her fingers, which was quite strange.
"Gaga," come here! (≧x≦)
The duck makes a sprint
Li Shuchen also ran after the ducks, suddenly crashing into a doorway.
Li Shuchen looked up
The world seemed to stand still.
Two pairs of eyes, one large and one small, stared at him with puzzled expressions. Not only them, but a flock of ducks on the ground were also staring at him.
They were all as still as statues.
At this moment, Li Shuchen was extremely suicidal.
He grinned shyly.
"Excuse me, did you see a duck fly in?"
"Sister, are you talking about Baymax?"
The six- or seven-year-old girl raised the duck in her arms.
Li Shuchen took a closer look; it was it—the duck that wouldn't budge no matter how hard he tried.
Even if this duck turned into roast duck, she would still recognize it, so she replied.
"That's it!"
"Big White is very sensible, do you want to buy Big White, sister?"
The little girl said again
Li Shuchen asked, "How much?"
The little girl looked at the duck in her arms, then at Li Shuchen, and then at her mother.
Finally, he stroked Big White with pity, put it on the ground, and said...
"Sister, it costs 150 copper coins."
The price wasn't high, it was quite cheap, yet Li Shuchen hesitated. He could tell the little girl really liked the duck, so why insist on selling it?
