Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"Hey, His Highness is wise and powerful, that's for sure, but I'm curious, so I'll ask."

Ergou smiled honestly and stretched out his hand to scratch his head.

"After you go back, you immediately rent a prosperous place facing the street. His Highness plans to open a restaurant!"

Ning Fan smiled.

Hearing that Ning Fan was going to open a restaurant, Ergou had no objection and just whispered: "Your Highness, do you plan to sell shrimps in the restaurant?"

"You don't think it tastes good?"

Ning Fan glanced at Ergou.

The most ferocious meal at noon was Ergou, who ate at least three kilograms of miscellaneous shrimps alone.

At this time, hearing Ning Fan mention the shrimps, Ergou started to salivate again.

"It's delicious! It's so delicious! I'm afraid the business will be too busy then!"

Ergou wiped his saliva, his eyes showing excitement.

Just do what you say, Ning Fan can rest assured of Ergou's execution ability.

In the afternoon of the second day, Ning Fan was studying the Four Treasures of the Study given by Emperor Tian'an, when two dogs rushed in from outside.

He didn't watch the road well, tripped over the threshold, stumbled and knelt down in front of Ning Fan.

"Ergou, what are you doing?"

Ning Fan was amused in his heart and pretended to be surprised.

"Your Highness, please inquire about the restaurant. The owner of Wangyue Tower just plans to sell the shop. We can buy it ready-made!"

Ergou said excitedly.

Hearing what Ergou said, Ning Fan didn't show too much joy, but said calmly: "You get up first."

"Your Highness, the business at Wangyue Tower has been very good. Why are you unhappy?"

Ergou observed his words and noticed that Ning Fan didn't seem to be too concerned about it.

"Then let me ask you, if it's so profitable, why does the boss want to transfer the shop out?"

Ning Fan asked calmly.

After hearing what Ning Fan said, Ergou finally knew what was going on.

He explained with a strange look: "Your Highness, Wang Sanchun, the owner of Wangyue Tower, is a shrewd man, but he can't bear to have a prodigal son! His son is a bad gambler, the Ghost King Changsheng, and is famous in Anjing. He secretly picked up the title deed of the restaurant. Mortgage, lost everything.”

Now, Ning Fan finally understood.

"Is the rent expensive?"

Ning Fan is only worried about this.

"It's not expensive, five thousand taels a year."

Ergou nodded.

Hearing what Ergou said, Ning Fan knew that the opportunity had come. Without hesitation, he directly asked Ergou to sign the lease contract on his behalf.

Since it's a restaurant, everything must be ready-made, so I can finally save a lot of money.

There is no need to hire a cook, the chef in the mansion can be used.

Just do what you said. While Ergou was away, Ning Fan called the cook and started teaching him how to cook the shrimps.

"Your Highness, how did you learn to cook? I started learning to cook from my father when I was twelve years old, but my skill is still not as good as even one of your fingers!"

After the cook ate the small shrimps cooked by Ning Fan, he was so shocked that he couldn't hold the spoon steady.

“Delicious, so delicious!”

The cook never thought that small shrimps could be so delicious.

Because in the minds of Dakang people, small shrimps are just thrown away and no one has ever eaten them.

"Study hard. After you master it, you will go to Wangyue Tower to be the chef! From now on, you will no longer be a slave. I will pay you monthly!"

Ning Fan said with a smile.

The cook's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.

When he was sure that what Ning Fan said was true, the cook knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Ning Fan's back.

You don’t have to be a domestic slave and you still have money?

This is something he never dared to dream of...

It has to be said that Ergou's ability to do things is still very strong, which also makes Ning Fan very satisfied.

Before the official opening of Wangyue Tower, Ning Fan had been busy these days, visiting the markets and asking about the prices of small shrimps.

After visiting and investigating, Ning Fan learned that the price of this item was simply scraps, and almost no one wanted it.

It was even heard that Ning Fan wanted to buy a large amount of small shrimps. Many fishermen thought that Ning Fan had something wrong with his brain.

However, after Ning Fan paid the deposit, these fish restaurants also agreed to supply Wangyuelou.

Next came the matter of purchasing a large amount of spices. Ning Fan still had a lot of money in his hand, so he also purchased a lot of spices at one time.

"Your Highness, the opening will be tomorrow. How do you think we can make it more lively?"

Ergou came to ask for instructions.

"Be a low-key person and do things in a high-profile manner! You don't need to make any announcements when you open the business, but you have to place running water mats along the street. I want to treat guests to dinner for free!"

Ning Fan had already planned that he would use this method to directly gain fame.

If we want to make the shrimp business bigger, stronger and more distinctive, we must cultivate the habit of eating shrimp!

At least, let people know that this thing is edible first!

Free trial, this is what Ning Fan came up with.

No one is willing to try it if you pay for it, but there are definitely people who are willing to eat it for free.

"Your Highness, do you really want it to be free? Our money doesn't come from the strong wind..."

Ergou looked reluctant to give up.

"Er Gou, open up the situation! Those who do business must first make a name for themselves!"

Ning Fan started to enlighten.

"By the way, send a copy of the small shrimps I made to Xiao Mansion!"

Ning Fan ordered.

These days, Ning Fan had no excuse to go to Xiao Lingxi, and suddenly felt that the distance between him and Xiao Lingxi had been widened again.

"okay!"

Ergou didn't refuse, took the food box prepared by Ning Fan and went out.

"Your Highness is going to open a restaurant?"

Xiaoyu was also surprised when she heard Ergou say this.

"Yes, our Highness is an excellent cook. The business of the restaurant will definitely be booming, and he will make a lot of money, which is just around the corner!"

Ergou looked certain.

"A prince doesn't care about military and national affairs, but he just opens some restaurant! Tsk tsk!"

Xiaoyu shrugged, said nothing, twisted her waist and went back.

Looking at Xiaoyu's back, Ergou wrinkled his nose and muttered with a dissatisfied look on his face: "What's wrong with opening a restaurant? How can a little girl like you, your highness, be able to think clearly about the abilities of my highness?"

……

"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, wants to open a restaurant?"

Xiao Lingxi was reading the letter sent from the front line at this time. When she heard Xiaoyu say this, her face showed a bit of surprise.

"Yes, I heard it from the slave named Ergou!"

Xiaoyu curled her lips and said: "Miss, this Sixth Prince is not doing his job properly. A prince wants to engage in a lowly job!"

"Xiaoyu, don't say that. The sixth prince is a very talented person."

Xiao Lingxi looked a little tired, but there was also a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

The man she admires is a man with big ambitions and poetry, not a man who only knows how to cook.

But soon, Xiao Lingxi shook her head again, spat secretly, and said to herself: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and you and him haven't had anything to do yet, so why bother interfering with other people's ideas?"

The master and the servant had their own thoughts and were in a low mood.

Xiaoyu opened the box and muttered: "Miss, there is no way that I will let you marry someone like the Sixth Prince! If he comes to give you something in the future, I will stop it for you!"

Xiao Lingxi was about to speak when she saw Xiaoyu opening the lid of the food box. A refreshing fragrance made the two of them stunned.

The master and servant looked at each other with disbelief on their faces.

What is it that smells so good?
