"Burp~~~"

After eating and drinking.

Cheng Yaojin patted his fat belly and burped several times in succession.

Li Er was so angry that his teeth itched. He glared at Zhuang Zhou and said:

"Zhuang Zhou, please calculate the cost of this meal. How much does it cost?"

Zhuang Zhou smiled and said:

"No need, this meal is on me."

Zhuang Zhou regarded Li Er's words as just a courtesy.

Li Er waved his hand and said righteously:

"That won't do. I'll just eat whatever I want.

Besides, I called these people here, so let's settle the accounts quickly, shall we?"

At this time, Cheng Yaojin burped again and said:

"Your Majesty, I think the dishes at Taibai Restaurant are even better than those made by the imperial chefs in the palace.

Hehe, why don’t Your Majesty just take a seat at Taibai Restaurant!

Your Majesty, it will be more convenient to come and eat when you want to, don’t you think?”

Zhuang Zhou: “…”

Holy crap!

You're a Cheng Yaojin, it's obvious that you want to come here to eat often.

Li Er was delighted and asked with a smile:

"I'm afraid this isn't a good idea!"

Chang Sun Wuji obviously saw through Li Er's thoughts and quickly spoke up:

"I think it's great. In the future, the imperial court can have meals here when receiving foreign envoys.

If Your Majesty feels that the owner of the village is at a disadvantage, why not exempt him from the tax, so that the government can take its share."

Fang Xuanling also agreed with this.

Wei Zheng, on the other hand, did not say anything, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

But at this critical juncture, if you don't say anything, it means you agree!

Li Er pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhuang Zhou and said:

"Zhuang Zhou, what do you say?"

What the hell am I talking about!

Seeing this, Zhuang Zhou had no choice but to agree.

Li Er was already happy:

"Okay then! Yaojin, you have to take better care of Taibai Restaurant from now on and make sure no one causes any trouble."

Cheng Yaojin patted his stomach:

"Hehe! Your Majesty, don't worry!

Anyone who dares to cause trouble in Taibai Restaurant will be torn to pieces by me.”

Li Er enjoyed today's meal very much.

Because Zhuang Zhou finally showed up.

Or rather, it gave him face.

The next thing he did would be much easier.

And it was also very satisfying for the other big guys.

I won’t talk about food and drink.

As for the things related to the Tang Dynasty reform plan proposed by Zhuang Zhou, they are very meaningful.

Especially in terms of increasing agricultural production.

If the food problem can be truly solved, it will be a fundamental issue for the country.

Furthermore, refined salt is enough to increase the fiscal revenue by an unknown amount.

and.

The best part is that this tax can bypass the aristocratic families directly.

When Li Er led several big men away, Zhuang Zhou was simply magnanimous to the end.

I prepared a gift for each boss to take away.

A ten-jin bag of rice, a bottle of Feitian Moutai, and two bottles of Langjiu.

There was also a bottle of beer and a five-pound bag of peanuts.

After seeing him off, Zhuang Zhou returned to the counter and sat down.

Zhao Facai came over:

"Boss, who are they? Why don't they pay for the food? And you're giving them food?"

"Remember, don't charge that charcoal-headed guy any money when he comes to eat in the future!"

"oh!"

Although Zhao Facai didn't quite understand, he guessed that these people were not simple.

"Old Zhao, how much income have you made now?"

"Hey! Boss, we've only been open for seven days and we've already made 800 guan (approximately 100 coins) in revenue. You're truly amazing!"

Zhao Facai said excitedly.

Zhuang Zhou nodded:

"Good job! I'll give everyone a bonus at the end of the month."

at this time.

The restaurant is doing very well:

"Boss, table 3, another plate of fried peanuts!"

"Boss, bring another beer to table 9."

"Boss, table 11, please give me another Farewell My Concubine and another Sweet and Sour Fish."

“…”

Zhao Facai listened and went back to work happily.

Although business is booming.

All you can earn is copper coins.

Speaking of which, the thing Zhuang Zhou has the most of right now is copper coins.

For him, this thing still means the same thing.

Just like game coins, it is not considered money at all.

We have to think of a way to make something good!

Zhuang Zhou was just thinking about it when he heard an old man at table 7 suddenly stand up.

Said excitedly:

“I never thought that I, Kong Yingda, now over sixty, would learn today that there are such delicious dishes in the world.

Wonderful! Wonderful! "

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Zhou's eyes suddenly turned over.

Kong Yingda?

Isn’t this the famous educator from the Sui and Tang Dynasties?

The 32nd generation grandson of Confucius and one of the 18 great scholars in the early Tang Dynasty.

I didn't expect that you would come to Taibai Restaurant for dinner.

Follow closely.

Then I heard a middle-aged man at table 11 slam his hands on the table and say:

“There is such a good wine in the world!

My trip today, Yan Liben, has been worthwhile!

Come on, everyone, don't leave today without getting drunk!"

Oh, wow!

Yan Liben is here too?

This is a famous painter in the early Tang Dynasty!

The famous "Portraits of Eighteen Scholars in the Qin Palace" and "Portraits of Twenty-Four Meritorious Officials in the Lingyan Pavilion" were painted by this guy.

Zhuang Zhou looked over and saw that Yan Liben was probably in his 30s.

He was not tall and was drinking with several people at the same table.

Zhuang Zhou was overjoyed when he saw this.

How many celebrities from the early Tang Dynasty have come to this restaurant?

It seems that opening this restaurant was a good decision.

Zhuang Zhou has built a platform that has attracted a number of bigwigs to come and perform.

no!
