The next day when I came down from the upper study room, I saw Zhang Debiao and two warriors waiting far away. When he saw me, he waved desperately, and when I went over, he said in a low voice, "Brother, the shop is ready." I didn't understand for a while, and asked "What shop?" Zhang Debiao said in surprise, "Why did you forget, you asked to find restaurants and casino shops." I suddenly remembered that I wanted him to help find a shop for a tavern. Pay him to open a casino.He hurriedly said, "Go, show me."

When we left the palace gate, there were five or six warriors waiting outside the palace. Zhang Debiao said, "These brothers are all willing to come out with us, and there are more than 20 other brothers who don't want to stay in the palace anymore." " I said happily: "That's great, there are so many people, so we must find a way to make money for you brothers." All the warriors greeted me one after another, and I waved my hands and said: "You brothers, you don't need to be too polite, we will make money in the future." We're brothers, everyone can make money together." Everyone cheered.

Zhang Debiao and I were surrounded by a group of warriors, and we were very imposing. After a while, we came to a three-story building. Zhang Debiao said: "This is it." Pointing to the tall building, he said: "This shop is for brothers. The one across the street This small shop is for our brothers to open a casino." I glanced at the small shop opposite, and wondered: "How can such a small shop be a casino?" Zhang Debiao laughed and said, "Don't look at the small shop, there is a good shop behind it." It’s a big yard with dozens of rooms, it’s perfect for a casino.” I looked around and found that this street should be regarded as a commercial street. There is a constant flow of people and cars on the road, and there are many shops on both sides of the street. Why are they willing to offer us two shops?" Zhang Debiao and a group of warriors laughed, and Zhang Debiao said: "Our brothers have found a lot of shops, and these two happened to be suitable and close to each other. The shopkeepers are all from other places. People in Beijing have no background in business. We talked to their owners several times, but at first they were unwilling, so dozens of us brothers went to their shop to practice every day, but they still obediently handed over the shop."

After speaking, he asked mysteriously: "How much do you guess the total cost of these two shops?" As soon as I heard it, I knew that this kid scared people a lot, and it must not be expensive, so I said deliberately: "I'm afraid it won't be expensive." It’s cheap.” Zhang Debiao was full of pride, stretched out a finger, and said, “7000 taels, a total of 7000 taels between the two!” I was shocked, two shops of such a size only cost 7000 taels, and seeing this silly boy pointing out a finger, I thought it would cost at least 1 taels. 5000 taels, isn't this the same as picking up in vain?Seeing my surprised expression, Zhang Debiao couldn't control it anymore, laughed wildly, and said: "How about it, brother is good at things." I hurriedly said: "It's too good, I really have you. What's wrong." Zhang Debiao said: "Look at you, of course, the sooner the better." I took out all the bank notes in my pocket, about [-] taels, and handed them to Zhang Debiao, saying: "So today Then put the shop down, and for the extra silver taels, you can find someone to clean up the shop, especially the tavern, it must be tidied up, and you can’t find another one in the capital." Zhang Debiao patted his chest and said: "Brother Don't worry, we will clean up according to the style of the prince's family, and we guarantee that it will be the only one in the capital, and we will never spend more money." I knew that he was going to play tricks on others again, so I said: "The money that should be spent is still to be paid. If it’s not enough, just ask me, brother, I still have some.” Then he said: “I’m working in the palace, it’s not convenient to come forward, so I’ll leave everything to my brother.”

After bidding farewell to Zhang Debiao and others, I went back to the palace. Now that the shop has been established, it's time to catch the imperial chef.When we arrived at the imperial dining room, Li Fugui had already been reported by a young eunuch, and Li Fugui led several eunuchs in charge and ran over bent over and said, "Eunuch Gui is auspicious." Turning his eyes to look at my face, he carefully asked, "Eunuch Gui, don't you know what happened before?" In a few days, the food cooked by all the cooks suits your old man’s taste?” I snorted, noncommittal, glanced at everyone, and said: “Which group is on duty today?” Li Fugui said: “Return to my father, I will be on duty today. It’s another batch of cooks, and the cooks from that day will be on duty tomorrow.” I thought for a while, and said: “The cooks today still follow the old rules, and deliver the dishes to me at the second watch. The cook will not be on duty tomorrow, and will be replaced by the imperial chef who has not participated in the assessment. After all the cooks have cooked, I will send them out together." Li Fugui promised again and again, and when I finished speaking, he said with embarrassment: "The servant must follow the rules of the father-in-law. I mean to do it, but... yesterday a maid came from the Queen Mother, saying that the Queen Mother is not feeling well recently, and she wants to come to our imperial dining room every day to supervise the meals for the Queen Mother. I am worried that if we conduct this assessment, it will affect The energy of the cooks, if the maid goes back and complains, I'm afraid..."

I was startled when I heard this, and was about to ask a question when I suddenly heard a woman's voice from behind: "Call me the person in charge of your imperial dining room." .The person who came was Miss Yuqing who was locked up by the Queen Mother.

I exclaimed in surprise: "Sister Qing!" When Yuyan saw me, her face flushed immediately, she turned sideways suddenly, lowered her head, and wrung a handkerchief with both hands.Li Fugui murmured in a low voice at the side: "The other day it was Miss Qing who came to our place to see the father-in-law, and said that she wanted to discuss with the father-in-law about the Queen Mother's meal. We dare not neglect, but we couldn't find the father-in-law anywhere. Miss Qing is still angry at us." I ignored him, went straight to Yuqing, and said, "Sister Qing, why are you here?"

Yuqing looked at me, blinked her eyes, raised her head and said, "Why can't I come, the Empress Dowager wants me to watch your imperial dining room, so that you won't be lazy when cooking for her old lady." Li Fugui said aside: "That's right How do you say, how dare we neglect the Queen Mother's meal, Miss Qing, you have a lot of adults, but please don't say anything to the Queen Mother." Yuqing glanced at him and said: "What can I say to the Queen Mother, how can I get you Control." Then he said to me: "Xiao Guizi, the queen mother ordered me to study the recent meals of the queen mother with you, and come out with me." I responded and said to Li Fugui: "You go to work, remember to serve the dishes before the second watch Come to my table." Li Fugui replied: "The servant must satisfy the father-in-law." Pointing to Yuqing, he whispered to me: "This grandma is hard to serve, father-in-law should be careful." I smiled and followed Yuqing out.

Yuqing walked ahead without saying a word, walking fast.I could hardly keep up. I ran all the way, but found that the direction I was walking was towards the direction where I lived, and I muttered in my heart.Not long after, Yuqing really took me to my residence, stood by the door, bowed her head but didn't say a word.

I took out the copper key and went up to open the door, and smiled at her, "Come in." Yuqing blushed, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, giggled, and said, "I don't dare to enter the house of your pervert." go in."

Li Fugui laughed wildly and said, "We didn't get into Sanjiang, but our father-in-law still got on the new book list on the front page. From today on, the jokes continue to coax everyone into buying tickets. Our father-in-law said, if it weren't for the full support of everyone, how could it be possible?" Today, I specially asked the Sa family to bow to the men."
