Soon, the news that the Royal Barbecue Restaurant had added new delicacies spread throughout the capital.
Princes, ministers, wealthy merchants, and well-off common people all rushed to eat.
Xia Miaoyuan's 30 stores are packed from the moment they open every day, and customers are reluctant to leave even after closing time.
However, here comes the problem.
After all, the first batch that King Jin tried to plant was limited in quantity and could not withstand being eaten like this.
But it will take another two or three months to wait for the next harvest.
There was no other choice, Xia Miaoyuan had to go into limited mode.
Customers who come to the store every day must make a reservation three days in advance. Each new dish is limited to 20 servings per day in each store.
Xia Miaoyuan even raised the price of the dishes, but the popularity remained unabated.
This day happened to be a day off, so I didn't have to go to school.
Xia Miaoyuan was in Kunning Palace, flipping through a thick stack of account books.
The queen sat beside her and helped her.
"Hahahaha! I'm rich!" Xia Miaoyuan laughed so hard that he couldn't stop.
"Look, mother, I'm rich! I'm rich!" She held the account book in front of the queen.
When the queen took a look, she found that the income of a single store had reached several thousand taels of silver.
"It's so high!" The queen was stunned.
"Yes, yes! It's a record high!" Xia Miaoyuan couldn't stop smiling.
"Then this month, the net income of these thirty stores will probably reach more than two million taels, and the net profit will reach more than one million taels!" The queen was shocked when she calculated this number.
"Oh my god, Miao'er, you're so young, and you've already become a rich man!"
Xia Miaoyuan raised his head proudly and said, "When I have settled the accounts at the end of the month, I will send this silver to my father so that he can replenish the national treasury."
The Queen embraced Xia Miaoyuan with relief and said, "Our Miao'er is such a good child. Would you be willing to donate all this silver to the national treasury?"
Xia Miaoyuan looked at the Queen solemnly, "Why wouldn't you be willing to do that? Great Xia has been engaged in military operations in the northern border for nearly three years, and military expenses have been spent like water. Now the treasury is empty."
"If I help my father fill the treasury, he won't be so troubled."
The queen couldn't help but feel sad when she heard her daughter's baby voice saying that she cared about her country.
"Miao'er, you are truly worthy of being the princess of Daxia."
The Queen calmed down and said comfortingly, "Miao'er, since Zhu Qi came to the Ministry of Revenue, the situation of the national treasury has improved a lot."
"Zhu Qi has come up with a lot of good ideas to help the court make money this year. As long as we can get through this period, our Great Xia treasury will be full again."
"Miao'er, you don't have to worry too much."
When Xia Miaoyuan heard the Queen mention Zhu Qi, his eyes lit up.
[Yes, there's also Zhu Qi. I'd completely forgotten about him.]
"Mother, has Zhu Qi become the Minister of Revenue now?"
The Queen smiled and said, "Yes. It's rare for him to become an assistant minister at such a young age."
"I heard from your father that Zhu Qi is like a treasure in the Ministry of Revenue. As long as his ideas and thoughts are taken seriously, everyone in the Ministry of Revenue takes them very seriously."
“That’s great! That’s great!” Xia Miaoyuan was overjoyed.
[The business genius in the book joined the Ministry of Revenue. It would be strange if the Ministry of Revenue didn't take off!]
Xia Miaoyuan didn't dare show that he was too interested in Zhu Qi on the surface. After cheering in his heart, he pretended to look down at the account book.
"Oh, right, mother, today is a day off. Why don't we call my eldest and second brothers and go to my restaurant to eat something delicious?"
"Uncle Tenth Emperor's stock of ingredients is running low. I estimate that the store will be sold out in ten days or so."
"By then, my shop will have to stop selling new products and wait for the next batch of potatoes, corn and tomatoes to be harvested."
The Queen pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, Mother would like to go as well, but today, Mother has a lot of things to deal with, so she really can't go."
"Why don't you call your brothers and classmates and have some fun together."
Xia Miaoyuan curled her lips: "Humph, my father is busy today and has no time to accompany me, and my mother is also not available!"
The Queen held Xia Miaoyuan in her arms and kissed her lovingly: "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"
Xia Miaoyuan complained a few more times, but knowing that he couldn't act unreasonably, he ran away to take care of it.
Soon, several young eunuchs ran off to deliver messages to the princes.
In addition to several princes in the palace, Xia Miaoyuan also sent people out of the palace to deliver messages to the crown prince, the second prince, Xiao Wanyin, Yan Ruoxi, Wei Mingyuan and others.
In the end, except for the crown prince who could not come due to something, everyone else was able to come. Xia Miaoyuan and the third, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth princes got on the carriage and galloped towards their largest barbecue restaurant.
When they arrived at the barbecue restaurant, the Second Prince, Xiao Wanyin, Yan Ruoxi, and Wei Mingyuan had already arrived. Their house was closer to the barbecue restaurant.
Xia Miaoyuan acted like a little adult and asked the shopkeeper to arrange everyone in the most luxurious private room upstairs.
She also prepared a table full of delicious food for everyone to enjoy.
In addition to those new delicacies, Xia Miaoyuan also asked the shopkeeper to bring two small charcoal stoves to the private room and brought a lot of marinated raw meat.
In this way, they can grill the meat themselves in the private room.
Except for the second and third princes who were a little older, the rest of the people at this table were still children. Moreover, they were all of the same generation and classmates in the main hall, so the atmosphere was very relaxed.
Everyone was chatting and laughing while enjoying the food, and everyone had a smile on their face.
Even Yan Ruoxi, who is usually dignified and calm, relaxed a lot.
"I never thought that one day I would be able to rely on Xiaojiu!" The third prince raised his glass and said with emotion.
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that after three years since I left Daxia, Xiaojiu has already opened thirty stores!" The second prince was also very emotional.
[Don't you see who I am? I'm a fairy from the 21st century! Opening a restaurant chain is a piece of cake!]
Xia Miaoyuan was so happy listening to everyone's flattery, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he just said deliberately: "Actually, I'm just a child. I used to rely on my second brother. When my second brother is not around, it's the prince who helps me."
However, only Yan Ruoxi and Wei Mingyuan believed what Xia Miaoyuan said. The others had already heard her rejoicing in her heart and were secretly rolling their eyes at her.
The meal lasted from noon to noon, and everyone was still not satisfied.
Just then, the door of the private room rang, and the knock was quite urgent.
"Who?" asked the second prince.
