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

"Your Highness, in my opinion, it is better not to send anything to Miss Xiao in the future!"

After Ergou came back, he felt a little gloomy.

"why?"

Ning Fan put down the pen in his hand and looked at Ergou with curiosity.

Under the lamp, the master and servant sat opposite each other, just like the master and servant of the Xiao family in another space.

"I think that girl Xiaoyu seems to be a little ignorant. We gave her master food, but she felt that His Highness was not doing his job properly!"

Ergou said with some anger.

"Haha, I'm not even angry yet. Are you anxious now?"

Ning Fan wasn't angry either.

He could actually guess this result.

After all, Xiao Lingxi really looked down on a man who could only cook and study soap and sugar all day long.

In her heart, she was probably looking forward to a man as manipulative as General Xiao!

"Your Highness, why are you doing this? You don't have to be so humble when you like someone! You can write poetry, you can make money, and you have great ambitions!"

"Why don't you tell Miss Xiao directly?"

Ergou looked puzzled.

Ning Fan looked at Ergou with strange eyes and said nothing.

In the end, he looked at Ergou and said, "Your Highness, what's going on?"

"If you were a man, I would tell you!"

Ning Fan chuckled.

Ergou: "..."

Wangyue Tower opened as scheduled. Ning Fan sat on the second floor near the window, holding a folding fan.

"Your Highness, it's almost noon, why aren't there any guests?"

The two dogs looked anxious.

Ning Fan, on the other hand, was very calm: "Everyone who eats must eat at noon. If you are not hungry before noon, do you know how to eat?"

"Hey, too."

Although Ergou agreed, there was still a bit of anxiety on his face.

At noon, diners finally came to eat, but when asked about the small shrimps they were selling, they immediately shook their heads and turned away.

"Your Highness, I think we should be eclectic. We also want to sell ordinary dishes!"

Ergou was heartbroken when he saw several groups of guests leaving.

"If we want to do business, we must make specialties. Others have diversified dishes, but we only sell small shrimps!"

"This little shrimp turns waste into treasure. It can not only save food, but also make money from the mouths of dignitaries. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

Ning Fan smiled.

"Ergou, go, set the table, bring the small shrimps, tell everyone, eat open, eat for free!"

Ning Fan closed the folding fan with a swish sound and gave instructions to Ergou.

Pots of freshly cooked small shrimps, full of aroma, were placed hot on the tables along the street.

The tangy aroma soon aroused the greed of hungry passers-by.

Soon, a large group of people gathered downstairs at Wangyue. Everyone looked at the little miscellaneous shrimp curiously, with doubts on their faces.

"This is the first time I've heard that this kind of thing can be eaten!"

"Exactly, what's the difference between this and eating bugs?"

"Eh, so disgusting!"

……

The onlookers around said they would rather die than eat.

Ning Fan was not angry, so he asked Ergou and others to stand on the street and take the lead in eating.

Seeing Ergou and others eating with gusto, I finally got brave enough to hold back.

"Man, give me one to try."

A big man with a beard took a gulp of saliva and walked forward.

"One? You look down on Wangyue Tower too much. We are opening today and all the guests are here. Each person will get a plate!"

Ergou said generously.

The bearded man ate one cautiously. After eating, his expression suddenly changed.

"My mother, it's so delicious!"

The bearded man couldn't stop after eating one, and put one after another into his mouth.

The onlookers were finally tempted no longer, and several people came forward again.

Soon, more and more people started trying it.

When all sixteen large pots of several hundred kilograms of miscellaneous shrimps were eaten, Ning Fan knew that the deal was done!

"Young and old gentlemen, see you tonight at Wangyue Tower, little Zaxia!"

Ergou stood at the door and held his hands toward everyone.

"Shopkeeper, I'll reserve two tables!"

"I'll reserve three tables!"

"I I I..."

……

The white money began to collect, and the two dogs were so happy that their mouths were crooked.

After being busy until the afternoon, I walked up to the second floor sweating profusely.

"Your Highness, why do you always predict the future?"

As soon as Ergou came up, he looked at Ning Fan with admiration on his face.

"How many tables tonight?"

Ning Fan was not surprised at all.

"Table seventy!"

Ergou revealed an astonishing number.

Ning Fan calculated in his mind that at present, the price of small shrimps is based on the table. One table requires about five kilograms of small shrimps, and each table costs about thirty taels.

In addition, at least 350 kilograms of small miscellaneous shrimps are needed as raw materials in one night!

"In the next few days, prepare between 500 and 700 jins every day!"

Ning Fan ordered Ergou.

"I'll do it right now!"

Ergou went downstairs in a hurry.

Looking at Ergou's back, Ning Fan secretly calculated the details of this transaction in his heart.

The three farms actually delivered close to 300 kilograms of small shrimps in one day. In addition, Ergou only needed to go to the market and buy another 400 kilograms at a very low price.

After excluding costs and expenses, Ning Fan calculated that there must be at least 3,000 taels of net profit every day!

This profit is already amazing.

And Ning Fan judged that with the popularity of small shrimps, sales will continue to increase after Anjing people accept this new ingredient.

By that time, although costs will rise, it should not be a problem to stabilize profits at 10,000 taels per day!

This profit is already amazing in today's Dakang.

The profits were completely in line with Ning Fan's expectations. It was more than enough to support the family with the money earned from opening the restaurant!

In the next few days, Ning Fan will sit in the restaurant when he has nothing to do, but most of the time, Ning Fan will be working on the yard.

He will move to a new mansion soon, and this old mansion will be idle soon. Ning Fan plans to renovate this place. It will be a good laboratory for his next step.

As a time traveler, Ning Fan has a lot of scientific and technological knowledge from later generations in his mind, but there is still a long way to go before the knowledge in his mind can be turned into reality and applied to this era.

After all, although many technologies of later generations may seem simple, they require corresponding tools to implement them.

Since this house is going to be abandoned, it might as well be transformed into a research laboratory.

A foundry, that's essential.

Many things require blacksmithing skills. Ning Fan plans to recruit a few full-time blacksmiths to design and build things according to his own ideas now that he has spare money.

According to Ning Fan's current thinking, he must at least make a gun for self-defense!

Life is the most precious, it only happens once, everything is lost after death!

Therefore, to compete for hegemony in this era, Ning Fan's first requirement for himself is to survive as safely as possible! If you carry a gun with you, you can deal with an assassin immediately.
