Chapter 573 Sorry to bother you (1 update)

Since Tianxia Diyilou opened in Gusu City, it has immediately been sought after by the world.

No matter whether they are children of noble families, wealthy merchants, or scholars, they all want to go to Tianxia Diyilou to see it.

Tianxia Diyilou’s famous dishes, songs and dances, and even storytellers are all famous, and its unique dishes are the most sought after.

Other restaurants’ offerings are unparalleled, rare, and unique may be an exaggeration, but the dishes of Tianxia Diyilou are truly worthy of such a title.

After all, the ingredients are also unprecedented.

In this way, Tianxia Diyilou has been thriving with customers, making a lot of money every day, making many noble families and merchants jealous.

Therefore, when the young prince proposed to exchange rice for the unparalleled potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, although the price was ridiculously high, everyone rushed to buy them. After

all, the raw materials are limited. If they are all exchanged, they will really be gone.

And those wealthy merchants who emptied their stored grain in order to exchange for potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes will naturally do their best to make these ingredients play a tenfold, a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold role. There

can't be only one No. 1 restaurant in the world in Gusu City, right?

And those merchants who don't want to run into the fifth prince directly transported the ingredients to the wine houses in other cities. Jiangnan is not only Gusu, there are also Hangzhou, Yangzhou, and Jinling.

Not long after, even in Shandong, there were various dishes made of corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

The price was naturally ridiculously high.

It can be said that this dish could be the annual income of an ordinary family.

The boss was so happy when he looked at the account.

However, he was only happy for a few days. He heard about the corn porridge provided by the porridge stall to the disaster victims. The corn porridge they drank was made of the pine nut corn that cost 15 taels of silver in the restaurant.

The news spread throughout Shandong Prefecture in a short time as if it had wings.

Upon hearing this, the guests of the restaurant were immediately furious. The dishes they spent so much money on were actually on the tables of those lowly people!

They were willing to spend so much money to eat something unique and one-of-a-kind!

Now even the disaster victims can eat it. Even the suckers would not be willing to spend so much money to eat in the restaurant! It

's too shameful!

If this gets out, how can they face the world when a young master of a noble family eats the same food as the common people?

The business of the restaurant has really plummeted. With the money, it would be better to go to the Glass Pavilion and buy some exquisite and beautiful crystal ornaments, which can better show their status.

Seeing that the business in the restaurant is getting worse and worse, the corn that was bought at a high price has not been sold much. It has not even recovered the original business of the restaurant. The boss is almost desperate!

However, the boss looked at the potatoes that were the size of an adult man's fist and still had a little hope in his heart. If the corn can't be sold, then change it to something else that can attract customers.

The boss wanted to regroup, and the chef also put in all his effort to prepare eight new dishes, hoping to attract those children from wealthy families to come again.

However, no one was interested.

The boss was puzzled. His reputation should not be so bad, so he immediately asked the waiter to go out and inquire.

You don’t know until you ask, and you will be shocked when you ask.

Something strange has happened at the porridge stall again!

Today they not only have corn porridge, but also boiled potatoes!

The boss almost fainted when he heard it.

What is going on? Is the government crazy?

Even if it is disaster relief, it is not necessary to feed these disaster victims such expensive food!

If the ingredients he spent a lot of money to get are all on the tables of these disaster victims, then he doesn’t need to open this restaurant!

His restaurant was a business for the nobles, but no one of noble birth would be willing to eat the same food as the ordinary poor people.

Corn and potatoes appeared in the porridge stalls of the disaster victims, and sweet potatoes were naturally not saved.

Facts proved that the owner of this restaurant was quite smart. Within two days, the porridge stalls really had sweet potato porridge.

The owner's last hope was gone.

The owner didn't want to sit and wait for death, so he immediately went to the porridge stalls and found the officials in charge of distributing porridge.

"Sir, I am the boss of Fulai Restaurant. I am willing to exchange rice for potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes here so that the victims don't have to drink porridge every day and can eat more."

The person in charge of the porridge stall here is also a student of the Imperial College. "Of course you can, but we have a lot of food reserves here. How much rice can you exchange? If the quantity is too small, then there is no need."

When the boss of the restaurant heard that there was a lot of food in stock, he didn't think much of it. After all, these ingredients had been exchanged once with the aristocratic families in Gusu, and the quantity exchanged that time was not small. How much could be left?

This small official must be ignorant and think that such a small amount is already a lot.

However, when the owner of the restaurant actually saw the bags of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn stored in the granary, he was dumbfounded.

This was really a lot.

The student smiled in a friendly manner, "There are five more granaries like this in the city."

The owner of the restaurant looked ashen. He originally wanted to exchange these ingredients directly and then sell them slowly, so that these high-quality ingredients would not enter the tables of ordinary people.

And he had so much inventory, so he could sell them slowly, which was also a very good deal, and it would definitely be a long-term business!

However, looking at the full granary in front of him, his fantasy was completely shattered.

With so many ingredients, he couldn't get them back even if he went bankrupt!

The owner of the restaurant looked pale, it was over, all over.

He had absolutely no hope of turning things around.

The restaurant owner was in a state of despair, and he spoke without thinking, "We obviously have rice, why do you want to feed those disaster victims these expensive ingredients? How can they eat the same thing as those children of wealthy families? You are really wasting the natural resources!"

The student immediately became unhappy and his face darkened, "What do you mean by that?"

"These are all food. They are new grains that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has cultivated for a year in order to ensure that all the people in the world can have enough to eat!"

"These are no different from rice. They are all food, and they can fill your stomach. They can be made into more than just delicious dishes."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that these grains will be as common as rice in the future. They will be served on everyone's table and will be the main food for everyone's daily meals." As

soon as these words came out, no matter how discouraged the restaurant owner was, the disaster victims who were queuing up to receive the rice porridge all knelt down and shouted "Long live the Crown Prince ".

The voices were loud and powerful, and they resounded through the sky.
