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

"How is the business at Wangyue Tower lately?"

Ning Fan actually remembered that he still had a restaurant.

"It's not as popular as it was at the beginning, but business is still booming! But Your Highness, should we update the menu? Our guests are tired of eating crayfish all the time!"

Ergou then said angrily: "Now many restaurants have begun to imitate us and sell crayfish! And the price is lower than ours..."

Ning Fan's original intention of opening a restaurant was actually to supplement his family's income.

However, the popularity of crayfish in the later period far exceeded Ning Fan's expectations. These days, Ning Fan can be said to be making a lot of money.

Not only that, a large number of crayfish that no one wanted were turned into treasure by Ning Na, setting up an industrial chain in disguise.

Nowadays, many people around Kyoto specialize in catching crayfish. Not only that, restaurants imitating Mochizuki Tower and selling crayfish have also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

It is true that business is difficult, but in Ning Fan, there seems to be no problem that cannot be solved.

"What did Du Yuesheng do there?"

Ning Fan picked up the tea cup and took a shallow sip.

When Du Yuesheng was mentioned, Ning Fan found that both dogs' eyes lit up.

"Your Highness, you have a really good eye for people! This Du Yuesheng not only manages the business in an orderly manner, but also gives the entire restaurant a completely new look! The most important thing is that it has a good reputation. The lobsters that cannot be sold out every day are given away for free. Those poor people."

"Now, half of Kyoto knows that Wangyue Tower is your property, and they all know that you are kind-hearted to the poor."

Ergou said excitedly.

Ning Fan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Du Yuesheng knew how to build momentum. He was indeed a talent.

For Ning Fan, who lives in the later generations, he deeply understands the importance of public opinion. He had a bad reputation before, and it will take a process to turn it around.

Especially for the bottom-level bosses, who have little information, they need information distribution centers like teahouses and restaurants to spread some new information.

"Tell Du Yuesheng later that every seven days from now on, we will introduce a new dish that no one has ever tasted."

In fact, Ning Fan already had a plan in mind. There are so many delicacies in the future, and just carrying one or two items can make people wow.

However, to maintain the heat, don't serve too much of this dish at one time. The right way is to keep the water flowing slowly.

"Your Highness, where did you learn this new dish?"

Ergou looked confused.

"Of course I'm here to teach you. You don't need to worry about it. Go to bed early."

Ning Fan waved his hand.

Ergou did not leave, he hesitated, and then whispered: "Your Highness, there are rumors outside recently that the great talent Tan Zhong has arrived in Anjing!"

"Tan Zhong?"

Ning Fan was startled. The great talent Tan Zhong was not a refined egoist like Bai Wenyuan, nor was he a person seeking fame and fame. He was a real great talent.

Ning Fan has also read some of Tan Zhong's poems, which are no less exquisite than Tang poetry and Song lyrics.

Tan Zhong enjoys a high reputation in today's Dakang. He is a truly great talent. Not only does he have a huge influence in the literary world, but even in the political core of Dakang, Tan Zhong's words are very weighty.

"That's Tan Zhong. He came to Anjing this time. It is said that he wants to meet with the Holy Emperor and state some new suggestions."

"Your Highness, Tan Zhong is still very influential. Why don't you take this opportunity to meet Master Tan!"

Ergou suggested.

Ning Fan nodded, he also felt that Ergou's suggestion was necessary.

If he can be recognized by Tan Zhong, his reputation in the government and the public will be completely reversed. Even if he is supported by Tan Zhong, he will be supported by more than half of the scholars in Dakang!

"Ergou, you did a good job."

Ning Fan couldn't help but praise Ergou.

Hearing Ning Fan's praise, Er Gou showed a shy expression on his face: "Your Highness, you just need to know that Er Gou is sincerely doing your best."

Ning Fan was about to sleep when he heard the sound of two dogs running downstairs.

It was getting late, and the moonlight outside the window was bright and clear.

"Brother Dog! Someone from the Xiao family is here."

I vaguely heard someone calling Ergou, and heard the word Xiao family, so I put on my clothes and walked downstairs.

After a while, Ergou came in with a letter.

Seeing that Ning Fan had gone downstairs, Ergou handed the letter in his hand to Ning Fan: "Your Highness, it's Miss Xiao's letter! Sending the letter so late may not be related to Master Ning Zhong's literary conference tomorrow!"

Ning Fan opened the letter, and there was still a faint fragrance on the paper. Looking at Juanxiu's small words, Ning Fan sighed that Ergou, a dog-headed military advisor, was really extraordinary.

Sure enough, Xiao Lingxi's letter was to inform Ning Fan about Tan Zhong's arrival in Beijing, and she also repeatedly warned Ning Fan that he must find an opportunity to pay a visit to Tan Zhong tomorrow, and it would be best to attract Tan Zhong's attention.

"Er Gou, if you weren't a eunuch, you would be more than capable of being a dog-headed military advisor!"

Ning Fan sincerely praised him.

Ergou was accustomed to being praised, and with a flash of his eyes he said: "Your Highness, it seems that Miss Xiao has already started making plans for you before you even come here! This General Xiao will sooner or later be Your Highness's biggest supporter!"

When Ergou said this, Ning Fan was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

She took Xiao Lingxi's letter and looked over it over and over. A person's words can reflect a person's characteristics.

Xiao Lingxi's words reveal a kind of feminine gentleness, determination and wisdom.

Thinking about tomorrow's events, Ning Fan began to search for some stories about Tan Zhong in his memory.

Ning Fan believes that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. If he wants to attract Tan Zhong's attention or even favor, he must do what he likes.

Tan Zhong, whose surname is Tan Zhong and whose nickname is Wenyuan, can write poems at the age of seven and write prose at the age of nine. He is a veritable genius.

Such a character is almost invulnerable.

There is no shortage of gold, silver, and jewelry. It is almost impossible to impress Tan Zhong with your courtesy.

In Ning Fan's opinion, it is really difficult to win Tan Zhong's favor.

However, since ancient times, literati have had a good reputation. If you can find a way to praise it, I believe it shouldn't be too difficult.

After thinking about it, Ning Fan made a mental draft and then fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Ning Fan finished washing and dressing and went out on Feiying.

Tan Zhong was giving lectures at Taixue, discussing some knowledge in person and answering some questions.

Along the way, Ning Fan saw many literati with pilgrim expressions, planning to go and visit Tan Zhong. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Tan Zhong was indeed extraordinary, and he was a god-like existence in the hearts of scholars all over the world.

Tan Zhong is unwilling to be an official. If such a person enters the official career, it will definitely be cheating.

I am afraid that there are many literary fans in the current dynasty, and there are even more officials in the world who came from Tan Zhong's family!

Ning Fan is the prince, so he can enter without an invitation.

However, many people on the road saw Ning Fan and were whispering.
