Chapter 502 Preparing to Open a Hot Pot Restaurant
Sheng Zhen got out of the car and was surprised to see the birthday cakes in the hands of several people.
"This is so beautiful, how can you bear to eat it?"
Zheng Sisi laughed: "I'll eat it eventually."
Rose asked: "Princess, how should I put this?"
Zheng Sisi thought for a moment and said, "Put one on the low table. Sheng Zhen and I can each hold one. It's fine to put them on our legs when we sit down."
Lily: "Princess, let Rose and I carry it!"
"No, you guys sit outside. The wind will blow the cake out of shape and it won't look good."
Zheng Sisi and Sheng Zhen got into the car, put the cloth bag in the corner, put the smallest cake on the low table, and then each of them sat down holding one layer.
"Let's go. It's getting late. What else do you have to do when you get back?"
"Okay, Princess." The three of them sat on the shaft of the carriage, and Master Ye drove the carriage towards the Duke's Mansion.
Inside the carriage, Zheng Sisi put the two layers of cake into the space after making sure that the few people would not come in. Only a fool would keep holding them. Sheng Zhen smiled.
"You haven't had breakfast yet. Are you hungry?" Zheng Sisi asked after seeing Sheng Zhen waiting for so long.
"It's okay, I can have breakfast when I get back."
Zheng Sisi flipped her hand and took out two packaged sandwiches. Sheng Zhen took them skillfully, tore open the package, and handed them to Zheng Sisi.
Zheng Sisi took a bite and found it soft and smooth. She hadn't eaten it for a long time. Sheng Zhen also took a bite. This was his first time eating this sandwich and he found it very delicious.
"We can also make this and sell it! It's delicious!"
"Well, we can study it and talk about it when we have time. The weather has turned cooler recently, which is the best time to eat hot pot. We have to prepare the hot pot restaurant first."
When Sheng Zhen heard that they could open a hot pot restaurant, he looked at Zheng Sisi with bright eyes. He still has not forgotten the memory of eating hot pot.
"Okay, I'll tell them about it later. They should all be very excited. After all, the taste of hot pot is really unforgettable."
It was already seven o'clock when they returned to the Duke's Mansion. The yard was already busy. Seeing Zheng Sisi and others carrying cakes in, they were all attracted by the beautiful cakes and saluted everyone. Zheng Sisi was afraid that the surprise would be gone if the servants told others about it.
"Everyone keep it a secret, no one should discuss it, otherwise there will be no surprise!"
Everyone nodded blankly, but they were itching to discuss such an important topic. They were afraid they would not be able to hold it in.
They sent the cake to Zheng Sisi's yard, but they were afraid that it would be accidentally damaged if placed in the front yard. After everyone left, Zheng Sisi put the cake back into the space, which was the safest option.
As time went by, guests who were related to the mansion by marriage began to arrive. Old Duke Zheng was in charge of the men's guest area, while Old Madam Zheng was in the women's guest area waiting for people to come. Several uncles and aunts were also at the door of the mansion to entertain them.
Zheng Sisi and several other young ladies' task will be to entertain the noble ladies of the same age.
The eldest cousin and her husband's family were the first to arrive. She had married the eldest son of the Earl's Mansion a few years ago, and the two were in love with each other. Duke Zheng and his wife originally wanted to stop them, but when they saw their granddaughter's firm attitude, they had to give up.
My cousin married down, but she has lived a relatively happy life in the past few years. Her husband kept his promise and did not take a concubine or a maid. She also worked hard and now has a son and a daughter.
The women in the room surrounded Old Madam Zheng and said auspicious words, making her laugh out loud.
"Come quickly, Sisi, come and meet your cousin." Madam Zheng waved to Zheng Sisi, who walked over obediently: "Hello, cousin!"
Then he knelt down and greeted everyone before being pulled by Madam Zheng to sit down beside her.
Madam Zheng introduced everyone to her one by one. The Earl's Mansion was surnamed Liu, and all the young people stood up and saluted Zheng Sisi. Madam Liu said, "Princess Anping is very considerate. I have wanted to come to thank Princess Anping for a long time, but we didn't go because she was busy."
Everyone was puzzled, and Madam Zheng was also puzzled: "Why do you want to find Sisi?"
Madam Liu smiled and explained, "Does my mother-in-law still remember the story of Journey to the West?"
Madam Zheng said with a smile, "Of course I remember. I have listened to it many times. I can recite it by heart, but I can still recite a few paragraphs."
"Haha! My mother-in-law has a good memory. It was Princess Anping who gave our shop the printing rights for storybooks, allowing us to make a lot of money with Princess Anping."
"There is such a thing?" Old Madam Zheng was also surprised. She knew that the book was published, but she had never asked who they were working with. In her opinion, they could handle it by themselves, but they let outsiders do it.
"My dear grandmother, it turns out that Wenyuan Pavilion belongs to your family. Shopkeeper Liu never mentioned this to me. If I had known, I would have given you a bigger discount."
