For a restaurant of this size, the dishes have such complex flavors that it is possible for them to be prepared without a chef.
It was indeed beyond Emperor Jing's imagination.
Seeing Emperor Jing's surprised expression, Fang Zhengyi had no choice but to explain: "Your Majesty, this matter is far from as simple as you imagined."
"In fact, your best option is to ask the prince in person. The restaurant has been popular in the market since its inception, and it is all managed by him personally. I don't know many details. I suggest you go to the vicinity of the restaurant and take a look."
"Your Majesty, there are too many people near the restaurant. Although there are many guards accompanying us, there are too many people and too many eyes...I am worried that there will be trouble."
Before Emperor Jing spoke, Guo Tianyang became anxious.
He knew what kind of people were doing outside. The spies from the East Factory said that they would be squeezed and unable to move when they went to buy something.
It’s not that I’m afraid that someone will assassinate Your Majesty. The safety of the capital is still unquestionable.
But I’m afraid that blind thing will come up and crash into me, which would be really fatal.
Fang Zheng said, "Your Majesty, what Eunuch Guo said does make sense. It's a little unsafe there. In addition, your royal face is printed on the banknotes. Although there aren't many people with 100 taels of silver, it's still possible to be recognized. It would be bad if it caused a riot."
"Why don't we find a restaurant a little further away and bring the prince here? What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Emperor Jing nodded and said, "That's great, let's do it."
......
With a safe plan in mind, Fang Zhengyi immediately arranged for the Jinyiwei to secretly escort Emperor Jing and others to where the prince was.
We sat down in a restaurant about two or three hundred meters away on the same street as the chicken.
Looking out the window, you can see many people queuing up to buy fast food.
The area below was blocked.
What is even more embarrassing is that from time to time you can hear loud shouts coming one after another.
“Encounter in Taoyuan and enjoy delicious food!”
Fang Zhengyi went to call for help, and Emperor Jing was sitting alone in his seat with a numb look on his face.
The world is bad!
It was embarrassing enough to hear this slogan in the palace yesterday, but now I have a whole new experience.
How can the people be so shameless!
While waiting, the restaurant owner brought a few plates of side dishes to Emperor Jing's table with an eager look on his face.
Emperor Jing glanced at him and said, "I...I haven't ordered the dishes yet."
The restaurant owner smiled even more brightly: "Dear guest, these are free side dishes. They are free. All guests who dine in our restaurant will be given a few free side dishes like these."
"And I think you look very kind... You look like the God of Wealth!"
He really didn't lie.
The first time he saw Emperor Jing, the shopkeeper felt that he was very familiar. After thinking carefully, he remembered that he looked like the emperor printed on the silver notes of Jingxing Money House.
But saying "like the emperor" directly was too scary...so he turned around and said "God of Wealth".
God of Wealth?
Emperor Jing burst out laughing.
This is the first time someone has described him like this.
Emperor Jing looked down again and said calmly, "Boss, business is not going well right now."
The shopkeeper's face fell: "Sir, I can tell at a glance that you are a discerning person. I won't hide it from you, the restaurant across the street has taken away a lot of my business... Alas."
"Actually, I'm telling you, there's something wrong with the Keen Chicken restaurant across the street!" the shopkeeper said with a sly look, "It's not a proper restaurant. Look at the decoration of the house. It doesn't look like a proper place to eat. And the name of this restaurant... Keen Chicken, how vulgar!"
"It's nothing like our restaurant, which has a grand decoration and a name that I paid a lot of money to hire a scholar to come up with."
"Oh? What's your name? I didn't notice it when I came here." Emperor Jing asked with a smile.
"Junshuang Restaurant!" the shopkeeper said with his chest puffed out proudly, but then his face fell and he started complaining about the chicken he was eating.
He whispered mysteriously, "You see, it's quite popular across the street, right? But I'm telling you, their food is not clean! Recently, many people have had stomach problems and are running around in the streets! ... And they only have a few dishes, unlike our famous chef who has dozens of dishes to choose from!"
"They are only having fun now, but sooner or later they will get into trouble... Humph!"
The shopkeeper became emotional and started chattering non-stop. Emperor Jing didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
The good news is that the prince’s business has been so successful beyond expectations that it has begun to arouse hatred among his peers. If he is not envied, he is a mediocre person.
What worries me is that he competes with the people for profits the first time he does business himself, and forces other restaurants out of business. It would be really unpleasant if it gets out.
Just as the shopkeeper was complaining, Fang Zhengyi led Li Yuanzhao upstairs.
Li Yuanzhao was holding a few hamburgers in his hands.
He sat down in front of Emperor Jing, glanced at the shopkeeper who was staring at him eagerly, and then said cheerfully: "Dad, the hamburger is freshly made, it's still hot, try it!"
The shopkeeper's expression instantly turned cold.
Hamburger! ?
So you also...
He gave Emperor Jing a fierce look and took away the free side dish....
Emperor Jing didn't take it seriously and picked up the hamburger and took two bites.
My eyes suddenly lit up!
This hot one tastes much better than the cold one yesterday.
As soon as you bite it, the juice spreads in your mouth, especially the sauce, which is extremely fragrant.
Seeing Li Yuanzhao's face as if he was seeking credit, Emperor Jing's expression returned to calm.
He said in a deep voice: "Li Yuanzhao, without my permission, you opened a restaurant privately to compete with the people for profits! Is this what you did?"
"You're almost crowding out all the restaurants around here, right? Don't you forget who you are?"
