Sure enough, He Zhuo was playing with Xiao Zhenbao in the small garden when they ran into the Ninth Prince again.
Yinzhen clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and said, "Younger brother greets elder sister-in-law."
He Zhuo: "So, have you got any leads?"
Yin Tang: "My younger brother looked around that street and thought it would be more suitable to open a teahouse or a restaurant."
There are five cloth shops on that street, two of which sell ready-made clothes; five jewelry shops; three antique and ornament shops; two embroidery shops; and two bookstores, one of which mainly sells writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.
Besides our own pastry shop, there are two other pastry shops, each with its own specialties. In addition to ours, there are four other restaurants: two large, one small, and one similar to ours. There are also three shops selling snacks and dried fruit, and one tea shop with two tea rooms for customers.
It hasn't even officially started yet, and they're already calling us "our family." Historically, it's said that Ninth Master associated with all sorts of people from all walks of life, which is quite true.
He Zhuo nodded in agreement, his eyes filled with appreciation, and explained everything about the shop.
He Zhuo also knew that the Ninth Prince's inspection trip was not just about looking at these things. He stayed there every day and must have also been observing who came to buy what items, and so on.
He Zhuo: "Sister-in-law understands. Here's the thing: you can do whatever you want, and I won't interfere."
"If you're determined to open a restaurant, your sister-in-law has a winery that can supply you with wine. It's pretty good. She's currently supplying wine to 'Liu's Restaurant.' You've also had some of your sister-in-law's fruit wine before. If you open a restaurant, your sister-in-law can provide you with 1,000 jin of fruit wine, 100 jin of osmanthus wine, and 100 jin of peach blossom wine every year."
"If you open a teahouse, I can provide 80 jin of flower tea here, jasmine and rose. I can also give you an address. The tea canisters that I used to give away were all made there. The price is quite reasonable."
In addition, my sister-in-law previously gave Consort Yi's honey, which is much better than ordinary honey, and can provide you with 800 catties a year.
Ninth Prince Yinzhen was moved to tears and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Thank you, sister-in-law. However, the problem of manpower for me has not yet been solved. I need people to do everything, but I am still young and have no one to accompany me."
She blushed slightly as she spoke, a little shy.
He Zhuo covered his mouth and laughed: "You really are something else, sitting right next to a gold mine and not knowing who you are. You are the son of Consort Yi. Who is Consort Yi? Consort Yi is one of the four consorts, the powerful consort."
Yinzhen suddenly realized and slapped his forehead: "That's right, I am Mother's own son, so I only need two people. Mother will take care of it for me."
Now that things were settled, it was time to put them into practice. Yinzhen stood up and cupped his hands to Hezhuo, saying, "Sister-in-law, once I've made some money, I'll give you a big red envelope. Please also prepare the fruit wine and flower tea you just mentioned, as I'm planning to open a restaurant."
"Alright, if you want to open a restaurant, I have some dim sum recipes here, they're from the Huaiyang region, like soup dumplings and xiaolongbao. You can take these recipes, consider it your investment as my sister-in-law."
Yinzhen beamed with joy: "Sister-in-law has already invested. Everyone else thinks my brother is just fooling around, but only sister-in-law believes in him."
He Zhuo: "Go and get busy, but don't forget your studies, or you'll be in trouble with Father."
He Zhuo noticed that the Ninth Prince was in a hurry to go to Yikun Palace to find Consort Yi, so he didn't keep him any longer.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye. Lady Liu went to take up her post with her husband, Lord Liu, and Yinzhen's restaurant opened. Due to a shortage of funds, it was only simply painted. Lady Liu left the tables and chairs in the restaurant, and the doors and windows did not need to be repaired for the time being. They chose an auspicious day to open the restaurant.
No one could have imagined that the lucrative "Yunkelai" would later start from these three small shops.
