Chapter 171 The Third Prince of Yu Country

The capital city was bustling with activity. Yun Li had been wandering around in several shops these days.

Apart from anything else, her Yueyanfang has attracted many merchants from all over the world to visit her these days.

The queue at Mankouxiang Hotpot Restaurant was even more crowded! Some scalpers even got the number early and then sold it to tourists at a high price. For this reason, Yunli added a new queue channel, so tourists from other places and Beijing residents could queue up at the same time.

This method is to prevent scalpers from making money. After all, her goal is to open hot pot restaurants in four countries and turn them into chain operations. She cannot let scalpers ruin their reputation and take this opportunity to let friends from all over the world come and try it.

…

Two men, one white and one black, one tall and one short, holding fans, walked leisurely on the streets of the capital.

The man in white said, "Your Highness, I heard there's a restaurant in the capital called Mankouxiang. The food is delicious, and there's a long line every day! No one who's eaten there has ever praised it. Why don't we go and try it?"

The brown eyes of the man in black looked hazy and indifferent, with a high nose bridge, and a dark black brocade robe with golden patterns. He held a white folding fan in his hand, a golden belt around his waist, and a jade pendant the size of an egg on the back of his black boots.

The whole body exudes an extraordinary temperament, attracting the attention of others wherever he goes.

Then, the man in black asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what it's for?"

"I asked around and heard they said it's a kind of food called hot pot."

The man in black's expression changed slightly, and he asked again: "What's your name?"

"hot pot!"

"Try to get the fastest queue number at all costs!"

"Yes! I obey your command!"

The man in white quickly arrived at the door of the Mankouxiang Hotpot Restaurant. He looked at the crowded room and smelled the strong spicy aroma. He swallowed unconsciously.

He murmured to himself: "It smells so good, it must taste even better!"

I turned around and asked the shopkeeper for the queue number.

"Boss, how long do I have to wait for my number?"

"Sir, your call will be called in about three hours. There is a rest and tea area on the right. You can go in and rest and wait."

The man in black turned around and saw the rest area on the right that the shopkeeper pointed to. It was full of people. He looked at the number in his hand and felt that it would be difficult to eat this meal.

But money makes the world go round, and the thing His Highness has the most is silver.

So he walked into the lounge area, raised the number in his hand and asked

"Who was your first number?"

The people in the room looked at him, then looked at each other, and no one paid any attention to him.

The man in black smiled and continued, "I don't have any other intentions. If there's someone ahead of me in line, I'm willing to pay a large sum of money to buy his number!"

As soon as the words fell, the people in the rest area became agitated. They all thought that this person must be a fool. It was just a meal, and he would get a seat no matter how hard he tried. Why waste his money?

Someone in the crowd asked, "How much are you willing to pay? I'm only three tables away!"

The man in black glanced at everyone and said, "Is there a private room that can get you there the fastest? I'm willing to pay a hundred taels of silver!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at him with incredible eyes, as if he were a fool.

Seeing that no one spoke, the man in black continued, "I'll raise the price to three hundred taels of silver for the fastest ticket in the private room! Do you have any?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone raised his hand and said, "I'm from the main hall, and there are only two tables left until my turn. I'm willing to buy it from you for fifty taels of silver!"

The man in black said, "The private room is preferred. If there is no room, we can ask for the hall room!"

At this time, a man said: "I'm in the private room. I'm the next table. Can you add some?"

The man in black asked, "How much do you want?"

The man stretched out his palm and said, "Five hundred taels, deal!"

The man in black smiled but said nothing, then shook his head: "It's too expensive! Forget it! I don't want it! Let's go to the lobby."

The man hurriedly said, "No, three hundred taels is three hundred taels!"

The man in black paid the money on the spot, took the number plate and turned to walk towards the door.

"Your Highness, it's done!"

"kindness!"

The two waited for a while and were taken to the second-floor wing by the child.

After entering the house, the man in black carefully observed the layout of the hot pot restaurant. The familiar feeling and the familiar place made him feel different.

The man in black in the box said to the man in white: "During the day, go find out who owns this hot pot restaurant."

The man named Bai Tian smiled and said, "Your Highness, there's no need to ask. I've already found out. This hot pot restaurant is owned by Princess Ming Xi of Lan Xi Country. I heard there's another one in Lan Xi Country."

"Oh? A princess from another country is doing so well in business in the capital?"

"Princess Mingxi is engaged to Prince Yu of Yueqi Country, so she's able to gain a foothold in the capital thanks to Prince Yu's residence."

Hearing this, the man in black looked out the window with a flickering gaze.

"Let's check on this Princess Mingxi after dinner."

"Yes! I obey your command!"

…

On the other side, Yunli and Yingtao just passed by the hot pot restaurant from Yueyanfang and decided to come in to take a look. They had dressed up before going out today and were not afraid of being recognized by others.

It can be said that the restaurant is packed with guests, which makes Yunli very happy. After opening for so long, people are still passionate and enthusiastic about hot pot, which shows that it is very much to everyone's taste.

"Master, you are here"

Yun Li raised her eyebrows: "Shopkeeper Qi, how come you always recognize me?"

Shopkeeper Qi whispered, "I didn't recognize her today, but I recognized Miss Cherry. The two moles in her eyebrows were not covered..."

Yun Li glanced at the scholar-like Cherry and was speechless for a moment.

At this time, a waiter hurried over and said to the shopkeeper Qi:

"Boss, a customer in the private room ordered red bean milk ice bean paste, but we don't have it anymore."

Shopkeeper Qi said: "If it's out, tell the customer and ask him to exchange it for something else."

Yun Li said: "Let me do it, it's not difficult, I'll do it."

Shopkeeper Qi hesitated, "Master... this..."

"It's okay, Cherry, you can help Shopkeeper Qi in the front."

"Yes, Master."

Then Yun Li walked to the back kitchen and looked around. Everyone was busy. She used her wide sleeves as a cover and took a bowl of red bean milk ice bean paste from the space supermarket. She poured it into the bowl and garnished it with a mint leaf.

The guys in the shop were all busy, no one was idle, so Yun Li personally carried the bowl of dessert to the private room.

"Sir, this is the red bean milk ice bean paste you ordered. Please enjoy!"

Yunli placed the dessert in front of the man and wanted to leave after saying

The man in black looked at her and said in a deep voice, "Sir, you don't look like a shop assistant?"

Yun Li looked up at the man in black, their eyes met, and they were stunned for a moment.

Then he reacted and said, "Sir, you have good eyesight. I am indeed not a clerk in this store. I am a friend of the owner of this store. I passed by the store and saw that the business was too busy, so I helped out."
