Chapter 204 Qingyunfang Area
Jiang Ci looked at the street they had entered and saw large houses on both sides, all of which were majestic and imposing.
Grabbing Lin Jingsheng's arm, "Where are you taking us?"
"Don't worry, Aci, the accommodation they arrange for us won't be too outrageous."
Lin Jingsheng searched the only memory of this place in his mind and told Jiang Ci, "This is Chongyun Street. The road to the north is Chonghua Street, and the road further north is the Imperial Palace."
"Then can we go to the palace and take a look?"
"There is a large open space in front of the palace. We can only pass by on the road in front of that large open space."
"Then let's go over there and take a look when we have time."
Jiang porcelain is very rare. I have seen many pictures of the Forbidden City in the past. Now I want to take a look from a distance to see what the real imperial palace looks like. I don’t know if it is very different from the Forbidden City.
The carriage slowly stopped, "We have arrived."
"We're here, come down and take a look."
The house here is not as big and expensive as the one over there. At this time, the door opened from the inside, revealing a neatly dressed middle-aged man.
"General Ji."
"No need to be polite. These two are the masters of this courtyard these days. Please serve them well."
"Yes."
"Don't feel uncomfortable. There aren't many servants in here. They are all the original servants in this courtyard."
"Thank you, General Ji."
"Then you should correct it. I will call Ting'er to have lunch with me at Fang Yaxuan tomorrow at noon."
"it is good."
"Hello, my two masters. My name is Liu He and I am the butler here. You can tell me anything you need."
"Butler Liu, I'm going to trouble you these few days."
"No trouble, it's what I should do."
They followed Butler Liu into the yard, which was a two-story yard that was not very big but not small either.
Liu He introduced the people in the courtyard to them. "There are four servants, three maids, and two newly transferred cooks in this courtyard. If the two masters don't like to have people around them, they can be sent to the outer courtyard."
They entered the main bedroom, and Liu He did not come in to introduce them. He took Wu Jin to his residence.
Jiang Ci looked around. The room was so big, as big as two of their bedrooms, and the furniture inside was very exquisite.
"Asheng, it's so beautiful here."
There was a knock on the door. "Master, I have brought the things in the carriage to you. Do you want to put them in the bedroom?"
Jiang Ci quickly opened the door and said, "Just leave it here."
"The kitchen over there is still cooking. Does the master have any instructions?"
"Cook some dishes that are often eaten in Beijing, but don't make too much."
When they sat down at the dining table, they saw four dishes and a soup on the table. They looked very good and the presentation was pleasing to the eye.
The taste is proportional to the appearance, it is delicious.
The next day they went to Fang Yaxuan. From the moment they entered the door to the moment they sat down in the private room, Jiang Ci truly felt the magnificence of this place.
"Brother Ci, you are here!"
Wen Yuting was very happy to see Jiang Ci, he really regarded Jiang Ci as a friend.
His first impression of Jiang Ci was indeed accurate. Through the correspondence between him and Jiang Ci, he felt like he had found a close friend.
"I came a few days early and planned to go shopping in the capital."
"Sure, I'd go with you guys if I were free, but I'm a bit busy these days."
"Just waiting to see your wedding."
Jiang Ci feels that eating here is the ultimate enjoyment for both vision and taste buds.
Each dish is exquisite and beautiful, without too many seasonings to modify the taste, which further highlights the freshness of the ingredients themselves.
Since the food was served, Jiang Ci didn't say much and focused entirely on eating.
It is also because of the environment that I feel so relaxed.
Lin Jingsheng looked at Jiang Ci who was still eating, "Ah Ci, don't eat so much."
Jiang Ci stopped chewing for a moment and looked at Lin Jingsheng in disbelief, actually complaining that he ate too much.
"I'm saying don't overeat. It makes you feel uncomfortable."
Jiang Ci glanced at Lin Jingsheng and said, "That's pretty good."
Jiang Ci turned around, picking up the unfinished food in the bowl with chopsticks, and saw Wen Yuting looking at her with a smile on her face.
Jiang Ci felt uncomfortable with this look, "Why are you...looking at me like that?"
"It just depends on how good your relationship is."
This made Jiang Ci feel embarrassed, "Not bad."
"The food at Fang Yaxuan is really good. You can come here often during your stay in Beijing to try other dishes you haven't eaten before."
"it is good."
After dinner, they followed Wen Yuting to Sifangyuan to see how the toothbrush, soap and bamboo bags were selling.
From seeing the plaque of Sifangyuan to walking around inside, Jiang Ci thought to himself that this grocery store was even more upscale than the restaurant in their town. This was the world of the rich.
Different types of toothbrushes were sorted and placed in wooden baskets, as were the soaps. There were also several empty boxes with soap labels on them.
The bamboo bags are placed next to it, on shelves like those in modern supermarkets.
It seems like a special Qingyunfang area has been opened here.
Wen Yuting looked at the empty boxes and said to Jiang Ci, "This month's soap has been sold out. We sold it in fixed quantities every day for the first half of the month. If we didn't sell it in fixed quantities, it would have been sold out on the first day."
Because these things were shipped from Jiangci, Wen Yuting paid special attention to them and watched the sales of these things at Sifangyuan for a few days.
"In 20 days or so, the first batch of soaps will be ready. They are apricot blossom scented soaps. There will be more soaps of other scents this year than last year, but we have to wait a month or two."
"Don't worry about producing too much. The capital can fully consume it."
"Okay, new things are new and sell faster, and they will stabilize after a while."
When they came out of Sifangyuan, Jiang Ci saw the two horses with silky fur again, and she couldn't take her eyes off the horses.
The two horses are tall and mighty, with every hair shining in the sun. Their raised heads reveal a sense of majesty in their eyes, and their muscle lines are smooth and natural, full of power.
The horse's hooves made crisp sounds on the ground.
Wen Yuting, who was leading the horse, also noticed the way Jiang Ci looked at the horse.
"Want to come over and touch it?"
Jiang Ci came back to her senses and blinked, "Is it okay?"
"Of course, it's a very well behaved boy." Wen Yuting patted the horse's head, and the smooth mane on its head trembled.
The horse was indeed very well behaved and let Jiang Ci touch it. He touched the mane on its head and then the shiny fur on its back.
It feels really good to hold, and the muscles beneath its fur are so powerful that you can tell at a glance that it has a lot of explosive power. It's a very powerful horse.
Seeing how much Jiang Ci likes horses, Ji Chen said, "Lin Jingsheng, you can take Brother Ci to the horse farm over at the western suburbs to play. The people working there are all familiar brothers. I don't even need to send someone to tell them. They will warmly welcome you in when you go there."
"Okay, let's go tomorrow."
