During dinner, Luo Tianhe would glance at Luo Lingwei from time to time, but throughout the meal, no one said a word, appearing extremely awkward.
After dinner, Luo Lingwei brought Little Green and Little White out of the dining room. After returning to her room, Luo Lingwei took out the account book that Little Blue had brought with her and began to check her income.
It had to be said that although Nightingale had forcefully changed her way of doing business, the person he had chosen was also very reliable. At this time, Luo Lingwei's slightly hot pot restaurant had already become a household name in the Xuan Dynasty. Because she had made so much money, even if she multiplied the monthly wages of all the workers, she still had at least one or two hundred thousand silver taels every year.
And Luo Lingwei, who had already made up her mind to help Yen Lianhe pave the way for politics, used this money to build bridges and mend roads in the name of the palace, and to give alms to the poor. Over time, the Guang Ling King's reputation among the commoners grew higher and higher, to the point where he was about to surpass the current emperor. During this time, there were also people who wanted to follow the previous six or three years' practice, but Luo Lingwei used her world's ”transparent kitchen” concept in her own hotpot restaurant. As for the daily ingredients, Luo Lingwei also let the kitchen try them out before using them in front of the common people.
Many delicious dishes were cheap, and ordinary people could afford to eat them. As for the wealthy merchants, she bought the very high-end Han Chinese cuisines and the high-end dishes in Western cuisine through the extremely low value of life, handing them over to the manager of the local store.
In just three short years, with the help of Ye Lianhe, Luo Lingwei had successfully become the number one female entrepreneur of the Xuan Dynasty. Meanwhile, Nightingale had also benefited from Luo Lingwei's ”national chain store” and spread her informants throughout the country.
Just as Luo Lingwei was checking the bill, the sound of dull footsteps came from outside the door.
Knock, knock, knock. A series of knocks sounded from outside the door.
”Viv, dad is going hunting with the emperor tomorrow. Are you going?” Luo Tianhe's voice was dry, seemingly embarrassed.
”No, I have no time.” Luo Lingwei replied without raising her head. After a long time, a heavy sigh came from outside the door, followed by Luo Tianhe's footsteps getting further and further away.
Luo Lingwei knew that Luo Tianhe wanted to meet her father and daughter, but Luo Lingwei didn't think so. Firstly, she was just a transcender and was not familiar with this original owner's father. If they were to interact for a long period of time, it would inevitably create new problems. Right now, Luo Lingwei just wanted to do her best as an imperial concubine.
Second, the Luo Lingwei of this world had been left alone since childhood. Although she was a noble young miss, her status in the family was not even comparable to that of a servant girl. Since he was young, no one had cared about him. So, like a wild child, he climbed up trees to dig out bird nests, and went down the river to find crabs. Although she was a girl, she had the character of a fool. And because of this, she had become black and fat, completely without the appearance of a woman.
