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

"After seeing you for a long journey, I must say goodbye eventually. I am very satisfied with the results of this trip to Beijing."

Next to the Ba Bridge at the west gate of Anjing, Ning Fan and Xiao Lingxi were bidding farewell to Tan Zhong.

This great talent did not say clearly what suggestions he made when he came to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit, but judging from Tan Zhong's expression, he should have achieved the purpose of his visit.

"Teacher, you are going to the northwest on this trip. It is bitterly cold in the north. These are cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold. Please bring them with you."

When leaving, Xiao Lingxi presented her with a handmade cotton coat.

The cotton coat was very delicate, made of lambskin on the outside and filled with mink velvet on the inside. It was a veritable luxury item, and Ning Fan was greedy after seeing it.

Tan Zhong left, wearing the cotton-padded jacket given by Xiao Lingxi and sitting in Ning Fan's carriage.

The two of them stood under the tree until they could no longer see the back of the carriage, and then slowly looked back.

"Sister Ling Xi, am I considered Master Tan's official disciple?"

Ning Fan smiled.

When Xiao Lingxi heard this, she said with emotion: "My mentor chose your nickname personally, which means he agrees with you! As for why he didn't say it clearly, it's probably because your talent is too dazzling!"

"What does that mean? I'm talented, isn't that a good thing?"

Ning Fan was stunned.

He wants to know now Tan Zhong's true attitude.

"Actually, my mentor has already made it clear that he is willing to support you! But he probably won't be able to accept you as his disciple, because he feels that there is nothing left to teach you."

Xiao Lingxi guessed.

Ning Fan nodded. He felt that what Xiao Lingxi said was very apt, and he probably basically restored Tan Zhong's mental journey.

"My mentor is a very pure person. He will not choose sides, but he will definitely spare no effort to support the person he chooses."

Xiao Lingxi looked at Ning Fan and said.

Having received a satisfactory answer, Ning Fan was naturally overjoyed.

The two of them walked along the river embankment until dusk, and then they went home.

On the second day, nothing happened, so I planned to go to the restaurant to have a look.

There is still only one dish on the restaurant's current menu, and that is stir-fried shrimp!

But now the market for stir-fried shrimps has flooded. Continuing to only make stir-fried shrimps will only put the restaurant's reputation in trouble.

Ning Fan still relies on this restaurant to support his family, so he doesn't dare to neglect it at all.

"Greetings to Your Highness!"

There were no customers in the store in the early morning. The shopkeeper, Du Yuesheng, personally helped in the kitchen. When he saw Ning Fan coming in, he threw away the things in his hands and knelt down.

He was just a waiter before, but it was Ning Fan who changed his destiny. In Du Yuesheng's eyes, Ning Fan was a great benefactor.

"You are not a big man, but you are clever. Who asked you to hang my poems in the restaurant?"

Ning Fan asked.

Du Yuesheng was a little unsure whether what he did was right or wrong, because Ning Fan's face was expressionless at the moment, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Your Highness, this servant has become bold..."

Du Yuesheng said cautiously.

Naturally, Ning Fan didn't mean to blame him. He reached out and patted Du Yuesheng's shoulder twice and said, "You did a pretty good job, and you helped me!"

Du Yuesheng was immediately overjoyed when he received Ning Fan's praise.

"Your Highness, are you here today?"

Du Yuesheng asked naturally.

"Has business declined recently?"

Ning Fan smiled.

Du Yuesheng did not show a bitter look, but was very calm: "We can do it, and others can do it, but we do it authentically, and the business is pretty good."

"Let's do this. You guys should work harder, and our store will start selling breakfast in the morning."

Ning Fan put on an apron and planned to teach several cooks how to make pancakes.

The cooks didn't believe it when they heard that instead of selling soy milk, fried dough sticks, or steamed buns for breakfast, they would sell pancakes and fruits.

But when Ning Fan made it step by step, several cooks looked surprised after eating it.

This thing seems simple, but I didn't expect it to taste very unique.

"The biggest advantage of this thing is that it is convenient and fast. You can take it and go, and eat on the go."

Ning Fan explained to several cooks.

Next, Ning Fan taught two dishes: mapo tofu and stir-fried bean sprouts. The fragrant taste made Ergou who was watching on the side salivate.

While Ning Fan was busy, there was a burst of noise outside.

Ning Fan walked out and saw a waiter covering his nose with blood dripping from his fingers.

Surrounded by several guys in the center was a brother and sister in ragged clothes.

He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a dirty face.

The brother held a bone dagger in his hand and protected his sister behind him, staring at the waiters with fierce eyes.

"Catch them and take them to the government! Steal things and beat them!"

Several waiters were not convinced and immediately pounced on him to catch him.

The little boy was extremely agile. He jumped up to attract attention and jumped out of the encirclement.

Several waiters went to catch her, only to find that her sister had gotten under the table, while her brother had jumped on the table and turned somersaults nimbly.

For a moment, there was a lot of chattering in the lobby, and cups and dishes were scattered all over the floor.

Ning Fan had been observing carefully and did not stop him. He found that although the boy was holding a dagger made of bone, he never meant to hurt anyone.

Moreover, the two brothers and sisters seemed to have very methodical movements, and they obviously had great skills in their movements.

Bang!

Du Yuesheng closed the door, and several waiters also reacted and began to block the stairs to the second floor.

Now the two siblings wanted to escape, but there was no way.

"You two, dance as hard as you can! The official will come later, let's see how you still run away."

one of the guys yelled.

In the end, the two brothers and sisters were still outnumbered and were firmly held down by a few guys.

"Let them go."

Ning Fan came out and stopped the next steps of several guys.

When the guys saw it was Ning Fan, they immediately dared not disobey and quickly released the two of them.

"Your Highness, these two little beggars have decided to rob instead of stealing."

Du Yuesheng came over and explained.

Ning Fan nodded: "They didn't steal money, they just took some food, which shows that they are really hungry."

"You two, are you from the northwest?"

Ning Fan looked at the brother and sister, and they seemed to be suffering a lot.

The girl hid behind her brother and looked at Ning Fan with a pair of black bean-like eyes.

The elder brother looked at Ning Fan with stubborn eyes, not timid at all.

“So what if it is, so what if it’s not?”

The boy said very stubbornly.

"Get them some food first."

Ning Fan did not continue to ask because now was not the best time to talk.

The two siblings were obviously very hungry.

Sure enough, when they saw the food, the two siblings immediately pounced on it and started gobbling it up.

A large bowl of food was eaten in the blink of an eye.

After eating and feeling full, the two of them still stuffed buns into their arms.

"No need to take it, you will help me work from now on, and I will give you two food to eat."

Ning Fan said slowly.

The two siblings looked at Ning Fan. They didn't expect such a good thing to happen, and they couldn't believe it for a moment.
