When Qiu Ji was sent back to Yun Pavilion, Yao Si was a little anxious and said goodbye to Qiu Ji and his servants. When he arrived at the kitchen, Lan Xin was sweating profusely. Noon was the busiest time in Guiyun Pavilion. Lan Xin had been helping Yan in the kitchen.

Yao Si shouted "Lan Xin" and waved his hand to call the person to his side. The kitchen was too noisy, so Lan Xin followed Yao Si to the backyard.

Yao Si then said, "Go and get Qiwa over, I want him to do something for me." She took out five taels of silver from her sleeve and said, "Take Qiwa and his friends for a meal first, and come after you have enough. Just wait for me in the alley at the back door of Guiyun Pavilion."

Seeing that Yao Si was serious and did not dare to be careless, Lan Xin nodded and promised immediately.

"You go to the front door to find a carriage, don't waste time." Yao Si reminded him, and then went to the back door first. Last month, his family just bought a carriage, which was also for the convenience of the family's travel.

The coachman was chatting with people on the roadside at the back door. Yao Si shouted. When he turned around, he saw that he was a girl dressed in a man. He knew that he was the second girl from the boss. He was studying at Yangshan Academy. The coachman thought that this scholar, no matter whether it was a man or a woman, was indeed very elegant.

He hurriedly smiled and went forward and said, "Li Si has seen the second girl. Is the second girl going to go out by carriage?"

Yao Si nodded, "Go to Wuji Restaurant on Sajin Street."

The carriage Gulu Gulu soon arrived at Wuji Restaurant on Sajin Street. This was the second time Yao Si came to Wuji Restaurant. Calculated the time, the last time he came here was almost half a year ago. Lin Dao, the fourth housekeeper of the Wu family, only met once when Guiyun Pavilion opened, and he has never had any contact since then.

Yao Si stood at the door and looked at her empty-handed, and felt that she was too anxious. At least she should have to twist some things to come to the door, but time was limited and she had to go back to the academy tomorrow. She didn't care about these small details and immediately entered the gate of Wuji Restaurant.

Wuji Restaurant was noisy and almost full, comparable to Guiyun Pavilion, but at least it was three-story building, much larger than Guiyun Pavilion. Yao Si walked towards the counter and looked around at the layout of Wuji Restaurant.

It was not Lin Dao who checked the bill. Yao Si also knew that he would only show up occasionally. If he was not lucky, she would have to ask Wu Shiwei for help.

"Shopkeeper, I am Yao Si, a student of Yangshan Academy. I want to meet you four managers. If you have any questions, please inform me." She slipped out of her sleeve a ingot of silver that had been prepared long ago.

The shopkeeper obviously had heard of Yao Si's big name. He looked at it carefully, but his attitude was respectful. He smiled and waved his hand to reject Yao Si's money. Yao Si was about to invite him again, but he had already changed a waiter and asked the waiter to go upstairs to inform him.

Yao Si quickly thanked him, waited for a while, and the waiter came down and asked, "Please go upstairs, girl."

Yao Si followed the waiter to the third floor, walked along the corridor to the eastmost room, and knocked on the door: "Manager Lin, the person has arrived."

Lin Dao said "Come in" from inside, and the waiter pushed the door open, and Yao Si stepped in, but the waiter did not close the door and left directly.

"Miss Yao hasn't been to this Wuji Restaurant for a long time. Guiyun Pavilion's business is booming now. I'm afraid that it won't be able to catch up with my Wuji Restaurant," Lin Dao said with a smile.

Yao Si smiled slightly: "Manager Lin is so humble, I don't know what to say. Guiyun Pavilion will only be open for four or five months. If you can catch up easily, I'm afraid the Yao family will be rich long ago."

"Hahaha...Miss Yao is very funny." Lin Dao handed Yao Si a cup of tea before asking again: "Miss Yao is not going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. Is there a place for Lin to help this time?"

Lin Dao was very happy. Yao Si had prepared some words, but now he didn't need to say it. He suddenly felt that he was thinking too much, and then he said bluntly:

"Actually, I just want to inquire about one thing. Wu Ji Restaurant has been open for decades and has a good reputation in Beijing. Many banquets are held here, so I want to ask Manager Lin. How much money can these high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing spend to hold a banquet for guests?"

What's the difficulty? Lin Dao thought Yao Si came just for Guiyun Pavilion. Although Guiyun Pavilion and Wuji Restaurant are competitors, the Wu family's deep-rooted roots are not something that can be compared with Guiyun Pavilion.

He thought for a moment: "If you are a banquet here, you can spend fifty taels of gold, eighty gold at the best, and one hundred and twenty gold at the best." The average level of Wuji Restaurant is comparable to that of the special level in other places, so the starting price is also very high.

Although she had known the price was not low, Yao Si's heart trembled when she heard this number. In other words, these people could eat up half a month's income in Guiyun Pavilion in just one meal. She sighed and asked again: "There should be a banquet at the mansion?"

Lin Dao did not hide it from it, "The house banquets are usually the most flowers for wedding banquets or birthday banquets, and those who can afford to invite me Wu Ji are also valuable. A wedding banquet of thirty tables can cost 300 gold, and birthday banquets are almost the same."

Hearing this number, Yao Si couldn't help but open his mouth, and after a moment he turned into a sigh.

Seeing her look depressed, Lin Dao thought that something was wrong with Guiyun Pavilion, so he chased her again: "What's wrong? Miss Yao asked about this, but who would you hold a banquet for?"

Yao Si looked up again and said, "In the past two months, who have held more than 100 gold coupons?"

"This..." Lin Dao hesitated for a moment. In fact, these things cannot be told to outsiders. However, he knew that Yao Si and the young master of the Wu family were classmates, and the young master of the Wu family had also ordered to take care of them. In addition, Yao Si and Liao Jingzhao also knew each other, and the young master of the Grand Marshal of the Capital had these relationships, so Lin Dao was very polite to Yao Si.

I thought Yao Si came for Guiyun Pavilion, but since she asked this, the real meaning behind this is not simple.

Yao Si saw his hesitation and said earnestly: "Please please help Manager Lin. I will not do anything to harm Wu Ji Restaurant or the Wu family."

Lin Dao thought again, in fact, this is not a secret. If someone wants to inquire, you can also find out outside. Just ask which wealthy families have held banquets in the past two months and who hosted them, you will know that, it just takes some effort.

He asked someone to take the account booklet, and gave Yao Si the names of the wealthy families who were in charge of the seat in nearly two months, including more than ten Beijing officials. Each household spent two or three hundred gold.

Yao Si was extremely grateful, so he copied the list, then stood up and bowed, "Yao Si remembered his great kindness today, but time is too urgent to stay again. I will come and thank you again next month."

"Miss Yao, you are kind." Lin Dao waved his hand, just to provide a list. Even if he didn't say it, he knew that Yao Si had a way to find out, so he asked the waiter to send Yao Si out of Wuji Restaurant again.

After leaving Wuji Restaurant, Yao Si hurried to Guiyun Pavilion. In the alley at the back door, Lan Xin was waiting anxiously. Seeing Yao Si appear, he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted "girl", then pointed to a little beggar who was seven or eight years old behind him and said, "This is the Qiwo."

Yao Si had never seen Qiwa before. Qiwa looked at Yao Si with a smile and bowed awkwardly.

When Yao Si came back, he had already thought about what he wanted to say, and gave Qiwa the same order and gave him another five taels of silver.

Qiwa was even happier with the money. He was a beggar, but he was often taken care of by this lady. He was very grateful and bowed again, "Miss, don't worry, I will definitely do this properly and I can't find you."

The previous few times I asked him for this request. Qiwa was also clever and knew when he would pretend to be deaf and dumb.
