Taught cooking for an afternoon.
At dusk.
A servant came from the Lu family.
A hundred strings of cash were sent.
Zhao Hao was very happy to see the money.
I ate two more bowls of rice for dinner.
The next morning.
He continued to lead Lao Zhong and others to sell tofu.
In recent days, tofu has become more and more famous and has spread to every corner of the capital.
The scale has also stabilized, and we can earn a steady three strings of money every day.
Including the one hundred strings of cash sent by Lu Huairen, he now had one hundred and twenty strings of cash in his hands.
No matter which shop Princess Yongning negotiated for him in East City, the rent and decoration would be enough.
I don’t know whether Princess Yongning is reliable.
Don't let yourself wait too long!
After selling the tofu, he was walking back home when he saw the maid Xiao Tao from yesterday. Zhao Hao was immediately delighted.
"Sister Xiaotao, did the princess ask you to come to me?"
Although Zhao Hao is tall and strong, he is only seventeen years old and imitates Xiaotao in every way.
Xiao Tao hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhao, please don't call me that. Xiao Tao can't stand it."
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "I'm seventeen years old, so I think it's right to call you sister."
Xiao Tao blushed: "You are still older, Xiao Tao is just sixteen this year."
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, it turns out to be Sister Xiaotao."
Xiao Tao said in panic: "Sir, you should just call me Xiao Tao."
Zhao Hao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Sister Xiaotao, don't worry about it."
Xiao Tao didn't want to dwell on this topic with him, so she quickly said, "Sir, the princess is still waiting, let's go over there quickly."
Zhao Hao and Xiao Tao got on the carriage, and the carriage slowly headed towards East City.
It’s still the same teahouse, and the same private room.
Today, Princess Yongning wore a light blue dress with a veil covering her face.
Her face was vaguely visible under the veil, adding a sense of mystery.
Zhao Hao came in and bowed to the other party respectfully as always.
"Zhao Hao meets Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Princess Yongning no longer had the indifference and disgust from yesterday on her face, and her eyes even seemed a little vague and evasive.
"No need to be so polite, just sit down and talk."
Zhao Hao is not that casual.
He understood it in his heart.
Her Royal Highness the Princess had a slightly different impression of him just because of the poem she read yesterday.
But this change is still fragile and is definitely not the time to act rashly.
He said respectfully, "Your Highness, Zhao Hao should stand and answer in front of you."
Princess Yongning didn't say anything, but it was obvious from her eyes that she was quite satisfied with Zhao Hao's performance.
"Zhao Hao, I heard that you are looking for a shop to open a restaurant?"
Yesterday he took Lao Zhong with him and toured the entire East City. If Princess Yongning wanted to know, it was naturally quite easy.
Zhao Hao nodded: "Yes, I have been preparing for this recently, but I just haven't found a suitable store."
Princess Yongning asked softly, "Why do you have such an idea? Does the Internal History agree?"
Although the Zhao family did not have deep roots, Zhao Wenxiang was, after all, the Internal History, a true important official of the dynasty.
In this kind of family, reputation is extremely important and they are extremely averse to doing business.
Even though Zhao Hao had always been arrogant and domineering and caused troubles, and had a terrible reputation, that was just because he had shortcomings in his actions.
Even if others say something, they will just make a few comments and won't criticize too much.
But once you start doing business, it’s completely different.
Doing business is truly a lowly and menial occupation, and the status of the people there is even lower than that of the women in brothels and pleasure boats.
He is the only son of the Zhao family. If he did this, it would be a blow to the reputation of the entire Zhao family.
Zhao Hao cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I haven't discussed this matter with my family yet, but I am confident that I can convince them."
Princess Yongning said, "Since we haven't discussed it yet, I think you'd better give up this idea."
Zhao Hao was puzzled: "May I ask, Your Highness, why is this happening?"
Princess Yongning said, "You haven't discussed this with Lord Zhao. If I help you find a shop now, Lord Zhao will inevitably complain."
Zhao Hao's eyes moved. Could it be that this girl doesn't want to help?
At this time, Princess Yongning continued, "This is only the first reason. The second reason is that you have extraordinary talent. I think that serving as an official in the court is the right path for you."
Oh, so that's what it is.
Zhao Hao smiled slightly: "Your Highness, you don't know that I am not interested in being an official, nor do I have much ambition to make progress. I just want to live a peaceful and happy life, which is my greatest wish."
"So being an official in the court is not suitable for me. Opening a restaurant to earn money to support my family is the most suitable."
Princess Yongning was surprised when she heard this. Her beautiful eyes flickered as she asked, "How could you have such an idea at such a young age?"
People of this age should be full of longing for the future, striving to be the best, pursuing fame and fortune, and being the best people.
But Zhao Hao was unwilling to even serve as an official in the court. He just wanted to live a happy life without illness or disaster.
It's incredible.
Zhao Hao cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, if possible, please help me."
Princess Yongning sighed, obviously disappointed.
"Zhao Hao, you may not know that it is very difficult to make money running a restaurant."
"You and your people saw roughly what happened here yesterday. Those restaurants are not doing much business. Most of them are even having trouble breaking even."
But Zhao Hao didn't care at all.
"Your Highness, the restaurant I want to open is different from others and will definitely make money, so please fulfill your promise yesterday and help me find a suitable storefront."
Seeing that Zhao Hao was adamant and insisted on opening this restaurant, Princess Yongning's temper flared up again and she was so angry that her teeth were itching.
"How can you be so ungrateful? Can I lie to you?"
"Your Highness has misunderstood. I know your good intentions very well, but I am very confident in opening a restaurant and have already thought about it carefully, so I hope your Highness will help me."
Princess Yongning glared at him angrily.
"Humph, I don't want to meddle in your business. Since you don't know how to appreciate kindness and are determined to open a restaurant, I will keep my word."
"Xiao Tao, go get the pen, ink and paper, and write the contract immediately."
Xiaotao agreed and hurried out.
Zhao Hao was immediately surprised and asked, "Has Your Highness already found a shop?"
Princess Yongning said with a cold face, "Isn't it enough for you to rent this teahouse?"
Zhao Hao's eyes widened instantly: "What?"
He couldn't help but be surprised, because this teahouse was really great.
There are four floors in total, with enough space.
The location is also excellent.
Located in the middle of the entire East City, near the main intersection, it couldn't be better.
I don't know which idiot opened a shabby teahouse here.
I'm afraid I'll lose everything I own.
Princess Yongning said, "This teahouse is my property, but it has been losing money. Since you want to find a shop, I will rent it to you."
Zhao Hao: “…”
As if I didn't say anything, okay?
