Chapter 516: The Princes Riding the Wind and Waves (8)



Qi Yuan was a little annoyed.

He just frowned and before he could say anything, he was grabbed by Xin Guoguo:

"Let's go, let's go. You can't force a cow to drink water. Let's go to another place."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he sneered: "These days there are really all kinds of strange people."

He didn't say anything unpleasant.

The secrets of a restaurant, apart from those of the accountant, lie in the kitchen.

Not to mention a restaurant that is located in this area and doing such good business.

Even if it is just a small restaurant, few are willing to let just anyone work in the kitchen.

If they are not prepared and something is added to them, they won't be able to notice it for a while.

By the time it was discovered, the restaurant was basically ruined.

Qi Yuan also understood this principle.

He glanced at the shopkeeper and followed his mother out of the restaurant.

"I didn't mean to get angry just now."

He looked at his mother and explained.

"Ahhh, yes, yes, you didn't mean to get angry. Mom just suddenly wanted to pull you."

Qi Yuan: ...

Is he that kind of irritable emperor?!

His eyes involuntarily moved down to look at the hand holding his wrist.

Those hands were well maintained and still looked as fair and delicate as a young girl's.

Qi Yuan slowly raised the corners of his lips.

Since he ascended the throne, the relationship between mother and son has become less close.

Even in daily interactions, most of them are full of seriousness and rules.

But he was only eight years old when he ascended the throne.

He is still a child who longs for his mother's love.

Xin Guoguo didn't notice her eldest son's emotions.

Next, the four of them went to several restaurants but were unsuccessful.

Xin Guoguo had no choice but to lower her requirements.

It’s just a roadside stall.

These days, there are no roadside stalls selling fried rice.

After all, this thing is made of both white rice and eggs, which ordinary people can neither afford nor eat.

Those who can afford it will not eat at street stalls.

Xin Guoguo found a small shop selling wontons and took Cuizhu to discuss borrowing kitchen utensils from the vendor.

He also asked Qi Yuan to take the imperial chef to buy the seasonings and ingredients that would be used later.

By the time Qi Yuan came back, Xin Guoguo had already reached an agreement.

The stall is owned by a middle-aged couple.

The two of them worked hard all day and could only earn less than two hundred coins.

But Xin Guoguo gave him two taels of silver at once.

They also had to be hired to wash dishes and steam rice.

This is equivalent to their income for more than half a month.

Besides, the lady said that the room can only be borrowed for three days at most.

It won't delay their future business.

How could they not agree?!

After the stall was set up, Xin Guoguo let the imperial chef take over.

When everything is ready, the first basket of rice is steamed.

Xin Guoguo took her son to greet passers-by:

"Try it, take a look! Delicious egg fried rice, five cents a bowl. You won't be cheated or fooled!"

This penetrating sound quickly reached the ears of passers-by.

Pairs of eyes subconsciously searched for the source of the sound.

When they found that the place where wontons used to be sold had been occupied by someone else, some people gathered around curiously.

The royal chef has already heated up the oil in the pan and started to fry the first pot of egg fried rice.

The egg liquid and oil sizzle and turn golden yellow.

Without waiting for the egg liquid to solidify, pour the rice in and start stir-frying.

The fragrance hits your nose instantly.

Even though Xin Guoguo had eaten egg fried rice for several days, she couldn't help but sniff when she smelled the fragrance.

"Is this... really five cents?"

Someone swallowed and asked tentatively.

This includes lard, rice, and eggs. The cost alone must be no less than five cents, right?

Xin Guoguo smiled and nodded: "Of course! Do you want to try it? Our family has the skills of a real royal chef!"

Many people were tempted.

Five cents is not a small amount for them, but it is not a large amount either.

Nowadays, when you can buy a bran bun for a penny, this bowl of egg fried rice is really worth the money.

"I'll have a bowl!"

"I'll have a bowl too!"

As soon as someone started, others immediately followed suit.

Soon, the small wonton stall was filled with people.

The original boss and his wife hurriedly greeted everyone and served a bowl of egg fried rice to everyone who sat down.

Even though one pot can produce three bowls, the imperial chef still almost made the bottom of the pot smoke.

His forehead was covered with sweat.

Xin Guoguo waited to collect the money and asked everyone, "How does it taste?"

Looking at the ever-increasing progress of the task, Xin Guoguo's mouth was full of grins.

After working non-stop for more than an hour, the imperial chef's hands were so tired that he could hardly lift them. Xin Guoguo finally heard a pleasant prompt sound.

[Ding! The Gold Finger activation mission has been completed. The Gold Finger trial mission is officially open. Please complete the mission carefully. Maintaining peace in the plane starts with me.]

Xin Guoguo looked at the little rice left and the long line in front of the stall.

He hurried over and said, "Excuse me, everyone. We're out of fried rice today. Please go away."

"Ah? How come it's over? I just heard about it!"

"Yeah, we've been waiting in line for a long time."

Xin Guoguo smiled apologetically: "Sorry, the share we prepared is limited. We are a small business and we really can't afford to lose money."

When everyone heard this, their faces turned red: "That's right, with your family doing business like this, it would be strange if you don't lose money."

After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh.
