Yi Yi was conflicted. After all, he had been through thick and thin with Yi Liu and never expected that he had another identity.
"Master...Yi Liu's place..."
Murong Jin's lips curled up. "Don't worry, I trust him."
Seeing the serious expression on his face, Yi Yi naturally trusted his master and replied, "Yes."
Since his master had said so, he stopped overthinking.
He must have his own reasons.
The next morning.
Juyuelou.
Ling Qiao'er has been busy with the opening of the business for the past two days. Today is the first day of business. "Old Zhang, why hasn't the Prince returned yet?"
"His Highness is busy, so we servants naturally don't know what he's busy with. But, Miss Qiao'er, what are you planning to do today?"
"Let's see if any guests come to eat today."
After all, it's hard to say whether the people here will accept this kind of slightly spicy food like boiled chicken or hot pot.
The restaurant combines hot pot and Sichuan-style boiled chicken, and has over a dozen trained chefs who make authentic and delicious food.
"Yes, there will definitely be people who come to eat. Don't worry, Miss Qiao'er, I can vouch for it. People from Dacheng all like spicy and stimulating food."
Ling Qiao'er chuckled. "The price is normal, but I don't know if others can accept it."
Bo Bo Chicken: vegetarian skewers cost half a coin each, while meat skewers cost one coin each.
For hot pot, a vegetarian hot pot costs fifteen coins, while a meat hot pot with meat is twenty coins...
The price list is ready; let's see what the client thinks.
Ling Qiao'er leaned on the second-floor railing, looking down at the lobby. It was morning, around 6 a.m., and no one had entered the store yet.
When a figure appeared, Ling Qiao'er looked over and saw An Kesen, whom she had met once before.
Commander An is Emperor Junlan's biggest lackey.
No, what is this person doing here?
Looking for trouble?
As soon as An Kesen entered, he saw the woman by the railing on the second floor. "Boss, give me a serving of Bo Bo Chicken, and bring me a hot pot later too."
"For Bo Bo Chicken, it depends on what the customers want to eat. Here is the price list, and the same goes for hot pot."
After glancing at the menu, An Kesen found the prices to be very reasonable. He ordered both vegetarian and meat dishes and then looked at the hot pot, which offered both clear broth and spicy options, as well as vegetarian and meat dishes.
So he ordered one of each.
Ling Qiao'er looked at him sitting below, waiting to eat, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Oh wow.
I'm not here to cause trouble.
Since they are guests, we should treat them well.
However, since he's Di Junlan's lackey, wouldn't he know where Brother A Jin is?
She hadn't seen Brother Jin for a long time.
Her brother, the regent.
An Kesen waved, and the waiter next to him came over. "What's wrong, sir?"
Ankesen looked up at the people upstairs and said, "Call your boss over here. I have a question for her."
Ling Qiao'er listened to the waiter's description and asked, "Are you calling me?"
"Yes, boss, that guy doesn't look like someone to mess with."
Ling Qiao'er scoffed, "Just wait."
After sitting down opposite Ankerson, he asked, "Commander An, what brings you here?"
Ankesen looked at the woman who wasn't afraid of him, especially her demeanor and behavior, which were generous and cheerful.
"I just wanted to ask the owner, is it okay to eat this every day?"
Ling Qiao'er looked at him and said, "That's strange. Didn't that person tell you that this is something you should only eat occasionally? But our ingredients are all fresh, so you can eat it whenever you want."
"That's good." The "that" most likely refers to His Majesty.
"By the way, the Regent is currently at the recruit training camp. Isn't he coming to check on the shops?"
Ling Qiao'er looked at him, "Oh? Brother said I'll take responsibility."
An Kesen: "..." Fine, they have powerful backers, they're pretty tough.
People started coming in one after another. The first thing they ordered was some vegetarian dishes like Bo Bo Chicken, not a lot.
After eating, we started ordering more portions.
Ling Qiao'er looked at the growing crowd and a smile appeared on her face.
Money's coming! Money's coming!
Ankesen naturally didn't miss the little expression on the person in front of him. Was he that happy?
However, it tastes really good.
"I heard from the housekeeper that you made this?"
Ling Qiao'er's smile vanished immediately. "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to say that if you come out with any new products in the store, remember to let me know so I can come and support you."
"A new product? Most likely this store won't release it anymore. At most, they'll release a new hot pot."
She wants to open a milk tea shop right across the street, and also build a cold storage room. On hot days, drinking some iced milk tea would be so refreshing!
I just don't know how to set up this ice storage.
"By the way, Commander An, I'd like to ask, how did you acquire the ice storage?"
Ankesen looked at her and said, "Oh, the imperial court has a special department in charge of this, called the Ice Administration. In the past, during the winter, they would arrange for people to prepare and store ice."
There's now a department that specializes in making ice... You can ask the specialists for general information; there's one by the Regent's side, you can ask him.
Upon hearing this, Ling Qiao'er exclaimed, "Great!" So there are still departments that specialize in making ice, which means it's stored in icehouses, unlike modern people who have refrigerators...
Training camp.
"I'm so tired, Your Excellency, I can't take it anymore."
"I'm so tired, I feel like my body has been hollowed out."
"No, why does His Majesty look so relaxed?"
Li Mingzhong: "His Majesty has no objections, yet you're all complaining?"
"Three more days, hang in there."
