Chapter 365 Dinner

Soon, the news that the Royal Barbecue Restaurant had added new delicacies spread throughout the capital.

Princes, ministers, merchants, wealthy families, and well-off people all rushed to eat.

Xia Miaoyuan's 30 stores were packed from the moment they opened, and customers were reluctant to leave even after closing time.

However, a problem arose.

The first batch of trial planting by King Jin was limited in quantity after all, and could not be eaten like this.

But it would take another two or three months to wait for the next batch of harvest.

There was no other way, so Xia Miaoyuan had to implement a limited mode.

Customers who came to the store to consume every day had to make an appointment three days in advance. Each new dish was limited to 20 servings per day, per store, and per day.

Xia Miaoyuan even deliberately raised the price of the dishes, but the popularity remained unabated.

This day happened to be a holiday, so there was no need to go to school.

Xia Miaoyuan was in Kunning Palace, flipping through a thick stack of account books.

The Queen sat beside her, helping her.

"Hahahaha! I'm rich!" Xia Miaoyuan laughed so hard that she couldn't stop.

"Look, mother, I'm rich! I'm rich!" She held the account book in front of the Queen.

The Queen took a look and saw that the income of a single store had reached several thousand taels of silver.

"It's so high!" The Queen was stunned.

"Yes, yes! It's simply a record high!" Xia Miaoyuan laughed so hard that she couldn't stop. "

Then this month, the net income of these 30 stores will probably reach more than 2 million taels, so the net profit will reach more than 1 million taels!" The Queen was shocked when she calculated this number.

"My God, Miao'er, you are so young, but you have already become a rich man!"

Xia Miaoyuan raised her head proudly: "When I settle the accounts at the end of the month, I will send this money to father, so that he can fill the national treasury." The queen

embraced Xia Miaoyuan with satisfaction: "Our Miao'er is such a good child. So much money is donated to the national treasury, Miao'er, are you willing to do so?"

Xia Miaoyuan looked at the queen seriously, "Why not? Daxia has been fighting troops in the northern border for nearly three years, and military expenses have been spent like water. Now is the time when the national treasury is empty."

"If I help fill the national treasury, my father won't be so worried."

The queen couldn't help but feel sore in her eyes when she listened to her daughter's baby voice but her words about her country.

"Miao'er, you are worthy of being the princess of Daxia."

The queen calmed down and comforted her, "Miao'er, since Zhu Qi came to the Ministry of Revenue, the situation of the national treasury has improved a lot."

"Zhu Qi has come up with a lot of good ideas to help the court make money this year. As long as we get through this period, our Daxia's national treasury will be full again."

"Miao'er, you don't have to worry too much."

Hearing the queen mention Zhu Qi, Xia Miaoyuan's eyes lit up.

[Yes, there is another Zhu Qi. I have forgotten about him. ]

"Mother, has Zhu Qi become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue now?"

The queen smiled and said, "Yes. It is rare for him to become a minister at such a young age."

"I heard from your father that Zhu Qi is like a treasure in the Ministry of Revenue now. As long as it is his ideas and his thoughts, everyone in the Ministry of Revenue attaches great importance to them."

[That's great! That's great!] Xia Miaoyuan was overjoyed.

[The business genius in the book has joined the Ministry of Revenue. It would be strange if the Ministry of Revenue didn't take off!]

Xia Miaoyuan didn't dare to show that he was too interested in Zhu Qi. After cheering in his heart, he pretended to look down at the account book.

"By the way, mother, today is a day off. Why don't we call my eldest brother and second brother to go to my store to eat delicious food!"

"The Tenth Uncle doesn't have much food in stock. It is estimated that the store will be gone in more than ten days."

"By then, a good cook cannot cook without rice. My store will have to stop selling new products and wait for the next batch of potatoes, corn and tomatoes to be harvested."

The queen pondered for a moment: "Actually, mother also wants to go, but today, mother has a lot of chores to deal with, so she really can't go."

"Why don't you call your brothers and classmates to have some fun?"

Xia Miaoyuan pouted: "Humph, my father is busy today and has no time to accompany me, and my mother is also busy!"

The queen held Xia Miaoyuan in her arms and kissed him lovingly: "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"

Xia Miaoyuan complained a few more times, knowing that he couldn't make trouble, so he ran away to take care of it.

Before long, several eunuchs ran around to deliver messages to the princes.

In addition to the princes in the palace, Xia Miaoyuan also sent people out of the palace to deliver messages to the crown prince, the second prince, Xiao Wanyin, Yan Ruoxi, Wei Mingyuan and others.

Finally, except for the crown prince who couldn't come due to something, everyone else was able to come. Xia Miaoyuan, together with the third, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth princes, got on the carriage and rushed to her largest barbecue restaurant.

When they arrived at the barbecue restaurant, the second prince, Xiao Wanyin, Yan Ruoxi, Wei Mingyuan and others had already arrived. Their house was closer to the barbecue restaurant.

Xia Miaoyuan, like a little adult, asked the shopkeeper to arrange everyone in the most luxurious private room upstairs.

She also prepared a table of delicious food for everyone to enjoy.

In addition to those new delicacies, Xia Miaoyuan also asked the shopkeeper to bring two small charcoal stoves to the private room and brought a lot of marinated raw meat.

In this way, they can barbecue by themselves in the private room.

Except for the second and third princes who were a little older, the rest of the people at this table were still children. Moreover, they were all of the same generation and classmates in the main hall, so the atmosphere was very relaxed.

Everyone was laughing and enjoying the food, and everyone was smiling.

Even Yan Ruoxi, who was usually dignified and steady, relaxed a lot.

"I didn't expect that one day I would be able to rely on Xiaojiu!" The third prince raised his wine glass and said with emotion.

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that Xiaojiu had opened 30 stores in the three years since I left Daxia!" The second prince was also very emotional.

[Don't you guys look at who I am! I'm a fairy from the 21st century! Opening a chain restaurant is a piece of cake! ]

Xia Miaoyuan was so happy listening to everyone's flattery, but she couldn't show it on her face, so she deliberately said: "Actually, I'm just a child. I used to rely on my second brother. When my second brother is not around, it's the prince who helps me."

However, only Yan Ruoxi and Wei Mingyuan believed what Xia Miaoyuan said. Others had already heard her crazy joy in her heart, and they all rolled their eyes at her secretly.

This meal lasted from noon to noon, and everyone was still not satisfied.

At this time, the door of the private room rang, and the knock was quite urgent.

"Who is it?" asked the second prince.
