Chapter 173 Seafood Feast
Qin Hao gave her a funny look and said, "The shopkeeper came to tell me that it was the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion who brought it up. At that time, my uncle was puzzled for a while!"
When did my niece learn how to cook? Did my sister mistreat her? Thinking about it, it was impossible. Given my sister's doting nature, it was already good enough that she didn't treat her like a fragile doll. How could she let her cook?
"Then you finally agreed to Qingqing's request----" Mu Qingqing raised her eyebrows. Isn't this a slap in the face?
"Hahaha, you are my uncle's good niece! Who else should my uncle favor if not you?"
Qin Hao's generous and cheerful personality suited Mu Qingqing's taste very well. Mu Qingqing took out the deed of Zui Xiang Lou and returned the rest: "Uncle, Qingqing will accept the Zui Xiang Lou shop. Please take back the rest. Qingqing doesn't have so much time to manage them."
Looking at the other deeds stuffed into his hands, Qin Hao's cheerful face darkened: "Qingqing, you don't need to take care of these shops. You just need to collect the silver every month."
"That's even worse! Uncle, Qingqing has her own business to take care of - it's a very big business!" Mu Qingqing said to Qin Hao mischievously.
Qin Hao's eyes flashed: "Okay! Who made my niece so capable and visionary that she looked down on this small shop! Oh...
Qin Hao was secretly distressed...
"But----" Mu Qingqing sat down next to Qin Hao and held his arm, "If uncle feels really bad about it, just give me a store in a worse location, one that has been losing money or an empty store."
I was just worried about not being able to find a lottery ticket sales point! Now I feel sleepy and someone sends me a pillow. If I don’t accept it, they will be unhappy!
It goes without saying that Qin Hao didn't understand. Even Qin Yao didn't understand: "Qingqing, what's the point of having a store like this?"
You already know it's a loss-making store, why did you take it over?! Act like a saint? Even a saint wouldn't do this! Child.
"It's like this. Didn't my daughter just make an agreement with the Emperor to open a welfare lottery shop? A lottery shop like this only has a storefront and doesn't need much decoration. A table and a few chairs will do the job. The reason why my daughter wants a shop that runs from front to back is that she plans to use the space in the back as a banker next year. Now, she'll put some tables and chairs, ginger sugar water, and hot tea there for peddlers and civilians to rest and relax." Mu Qingqing explained everything clearly.
Listening to this, the patriotic Prime Minister Mu's eyes were filled with tears: My daughter is so good! She always keeps up with me and thinks about the lives of the people...
Mu Qingqing: You're overthinking it. I just think it's a waste to leave it empty. Why not increase its popularity? It won't cost much anyway!
"Oh, I see! Qingqing is awesome!" Qin Hao praised generously, "It seems that my uncle really has a store that fits the description you mentioned. It's just that the location is a bit remote, almost at the end of the alley."
"Good wine needs no bush! This welfare lottery is originally aimed at ordinary people, so it's better to be in a remote location!" Mu Qingqing said confidently.
"Qingqing, your uncle's business has been expanding in recent years, and he has ventured into four countries. You just said something about doing a very big business. If you have any questions, you can consult your uncle." Qin Yao gave her some ideas.
"Yes! Tell your uncle, what big business does our Qingqing do? Your uncle can show off to your two good-for-nothing cousins when you go back." Qin Hao thought that the big business that Mu Qingqing was talking about was just a joke of the little girl. How could he have imagined that the little girl not only cooperated with the emperor of a country, but also took in a rich man as her subordinate who was similar to him.
"How about this, Qingqing, prepare a few delicious dishes tonight, and bring a few bottles of good wine for your uncle to taste, and we can talk while we eat at the table." Prime Minister Mu spoke from the side and made the decision directly.
"Pa!" Qin Yao's face was slightly annoyed, and she patted Prime Minister Mu's not-so-thick shoulder, "You! You only know how to torment your precious daughter!"
"Mom, it's okay! I'm happy!" Mu Qingqing stood up and greeted Qin Hao: "Uncle, please sit down for a while. I'll prepare some dishes you haven't eaten before. By the way, uncle, do you have any dietary restrictions?"
Qin Hao has traveled all over the country for many years. What delicious food has he not eaten?! Now Mu Qingqing also aroused his greed, "As long as Qingqing makes it, uncle will eat it!"
Look at this art of speaking, there is not a single element of flattery at all.
Qin Yao took Nanny Qin to the side hall and instructed Nanny Qin beside her: "Nanny, ask Zhubao and Tongbao to clean up here and set up the meal later. Qingqing will prepare the dishes. Ask Jinbao to wait outside the kitchen and come over to report when they are ready."
"Madam, I will go down and arrange it right away." Nanny Qin took Sibao and began to prepare the utensils for dinner.
Mu Qingqing thought that her uncle was a wealthy man who had been abroad after all, and ordinary home-cooked meals would definitely not impress him.
Got it, let’s give him a pure seafood feast!
If you want to do it, do it!
Mu Qingqing placed an order directly with Ali Jiujiu: "Little Jiujiu, my sister's uncle is here. He is very rich. Please prepare a top-notch seafood feast for me later! For sashimi, I'll order a set of foie gras from Country F, salmon and elephant trunk mussels. You can order the other seafood as you wish."
Ali Jiujiu: How many people is it?
Mu Qingqing thought for a while: enough for ten people!
This is the first time I've met my uncle. I don't know how strong he is. What if he's a big eater? Seafood doesn't make you feel full...
Qin Hao: Niece, you are right! Don’t look at me as skinny and as if I can’t eat much. Actually, my uncle’s appetite is…
Half an hour later, Jinbao came running over to report that the young lady had sent someone to bring the dishes to the side hall.
"Is my niece ready so quickly?" Qin Hao asked Prime Minister Mu in surprise.
Prime Minister Mu thought that they would have hotpot again tonight. Since all the ingredients were raw, it would be very convenient to prepare them.
So he nodded and said proudly, "That's right, my Qingqing is very efficient! The same goes for cooking, big brother will have a good time later."
"You talk as if you don't have the good fortune to enjoy the food!" Qin Yao glanced at him from the side.
Now the Prime Minister's taste has been spoiled by Mu Qingqing, and several chefs in the family have been working hard to practice their cooking skills recently!
On the large round pearwood table in the side hall, there were several large plates of exquisitely presented dishes.
There were also a few plates on the small square table next to it (the table was too small and the plates were too big to fit).
Qin Hao was a well-informed man, and when he saw the dishes on the table - to be honest, he didn't recognize any of them.
I only know that it should be a creature from the sea, but these things with shells - can they be eaten?
It smells quite nice, but will I get diarrhea if I eat it?
After all, once when we were out at sea, we had eaten all the food in the cabin. In the end, we could only eat the ugly fish with shells that had just been caught from the sea. The taste was stinky and fishy. After eating it, I had diarrhea for two days, and my calves were cramping from the diarrhea...
Oh, don’t think about it, the past is too painful to recall…
Now when I see the ugly thing with a shell (crab) on the table, my legs feel a little weak: there’s nothing I can do, it’s just a conditioned reflex.
If I say I don’t want to eat now, I wonder if it’s too late?
