After crossing, I became the most powerful cub in the palace

After the hot pot restaurant opened, Xun Ruobai was originally tied to Xiao Yuanjing to take care of it, and the operation of the hot pot restaurant was gradually on track. In addition, the store's accounting room, shopkeeper's waiting room were all available, so Xiao Yuanjing usually Just sitting in the shop and going to the back kitchen to direct the chefs to cook the bottom of the pot, it is not as busy as the few days when it was newly opened.

In addition to the recent incident of Chunwei, many students preparing for the exam came to the capital, and Chunwei once every three years, it would be even better if they could enter the top three.

Therefore, the period of spring every year is the most lively time in the capital, and it is also the time when the business of the major inns in the capital is the best.

And all the major casinos in the capital began to use these candidates to make profits, paying ten to one hundred, which attracted countless people to bet and buy one of the candidates to win the first place.

As the period of spring approached, the time of martial law in the capital was also brought forward. The gates of the inner city were closed every night from Hai hour, and anyone who exceeded that time could only stay in the outer city.

In this hot pot restaurant, there is still a table of customers who have not left, Xiao Yuanjing is not in a hurry, just sits in the office set up for him on the second floor, just in time to see the whole hot pot restaurant, and those few have not finished their meal Yes, Xiao Yuanjing didn't need to listen carefully to know that he was a court official.

Since the opening of his hot pot restaurant, because the price is moderate, many people have come to try something new, but most of them are beyond the reach of ordinary people. It is possible that one meal can cost the family a month's expenses.

The ones who came the most were almost some ministers in the court, whether it was flattery or taking care of business for the sake of the emperor.

Anyway, you can see them here five out of ten days, and when Xiao Yuanjing cooked the bottom of the pot, he specially added spiciness according to the local people's taste, so that people who know spicy food can't stand it. On the contrary, it was well received.

Li Dong went downstairs to Xiao Yuanjing's office, saw Xiao Yuanjing was crossing his legs on the table, and couldn't help approaching: "Your Highness, it's almost Xu time, Your Highness might as well go back to the mansion first, wait a while This place is closed, and the slave will take the account back to the mansion for your Highness to check."

Xiao Yuanjing flipped through the accounts in his hand, and wrote and drew on the paper from time to time. At this time, he especially hoped to have a computer for him to use, because such calculations were too laborious.

Li Dong said again: "Your Highness, this is not acceptable, why not use an abacus to calculate."

Xiao Yuanjing quickly raised his head and looked at him: "Do you know how to use an abacus?"

Lidong smiled: "Abacus, I learned it when I was young, and I haven't forgotten it yet."

Xiao Yuanjing nodded quickly, and ordered Lidong to come to the abacus. While reporting the number to Lidong, he watched his fingers quickly pick and pull the beads of the abacus, and almost forgot where he said it.

Counting here, the guests at the last table in the store are almost eaten. After they all finished eating, they turned around and looked at Xiao Yuanjing who was busy. He saluted and said:

"Your Highness, we are leaving now."

Xiao Yuanjing nodded and said with a smile: "If you think the things in the store are good, you may come here more often in the future."

After a few people saluted Xiao Yuanjing again, they checked out and left the hotpot restaurant. Lidong also calculated the turnover for the day. Xiao Yuanjing looked at the long list and couldn't help being silent for a while.

Lidong was a little scared: "Your Highness, do you not earn much?"

Xiao Yuanjing looked up at him and said, "Lidong, teach me how to do abacus."

Lidong was a little surprised: "What does Your Highness learn from this?"

Xiao Yuanjing: "You can earn your own living."

Lidong thought for a while, and quickly nodded in response, but when the two of them were packing up the books and abacus, the chef in charge of the back kitchen ran out in a panic:

"Master, Mr. Xie, something is wrong."

Xiao Yuanjing froze for a moment: "Why panic, what happened?"

Xiao Yuanjing went down the stairs while talking, and the chef hurriedly said: "I lost something in the kitchen just now, and I poured the leftovers from the guests at the previous table into a wooden basin as usual. I felt a little uncomfortable, so I asked Master Liu to help look at it, but in the end, Master Liu just went out and poured out the bucket of swill, and the things in the wooden basin disappeared."

Xiao Yuanjing frowned slightly, and looked at Lidong in blank dismay.

It's not good to steal anything, stealing the leftovers from the guests...

Could it be that some people have no money to eat, and then steal other people's leftovers to taste?

No matter what Xiao Yuanjing thought, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately said: "It's okay, just throw it away, you should pack up and rest, I'll go back home first."

Seeing that Xiao Yuanjing was so indifferent, the chef in charge of the kitchen was relieved a lot.

Originally, he thought that this hot pot was delicious because he used some secret, and he was afraid that someone else would steal it, but seeing Xiao Yuanjing's appearance, he thought it should not be so, so after watching Xiao Yuanjing leave, He also went back to the back kitchen.

Perhaps because the weather is getting warmer, the number of pedestrians on this street has not decreased, but there are still many vendors setting up stalls.

Xiao Yuanjing abandoned the carriage and decided to walk back to the mansion, Lidong followed behind Xiao Yuanjing holding the account book: "Your Highness, why hasn't the little prince come to see you these two days?"

Xiao Yuanjing said helplessly: "He said he had some business of his own, and he didn't know what he was busy with. Since the opening day, he has been acting strangely, as if he was hiding something from me."

Lidong thought about it: "Actually, the little prince is very kind to you, His Highness. He is afraid that there will not be many customers for the new opening, so he specially brought people to join him."

Xiao Yuanjing looked at him incredulously: "Didn't you dislike him before?"

Lidong was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "I thought he would be a bad guy at the time, but he is the son of Prince Zhenbei, it's different."

Xiao Yuanjing smiled, looked up at the stars in the sky and smiled: "After these two days are over, I will go find him, I really miss him."

Lidong looked at his master thinking about his lover, and suddenly felt that he was a bit redundant, but what can he do, when they are together, they are blind...

Lidong suddenly felt that his thoughts were a little dangerous, his master wanted a lover?

Lover?

How could he have thought of this word!terrible……

Lidong quickly shook his head, and trotted all the way to keep up with Xiao Yuanjing's footsteps.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Yuanjing was curled up in the warm bed and was dreaming sweet dreams. Wei Changgong was dressed in white gauze, his chest was half covered, his hair was blown loose by the wind. He lay on his side on the bed and looked towards Xiao Yuan. Yuan Jing hooked his fingers.

Xiao Yuanjing went over and hugged him in a strange way, and was just about to embrace him and kiss him when he was woken up.

He looked at the pillow in his arms, recalled the previous dream, and always felt that the one who disturbed the dream was a bad guy.

So Xiao Yuanjing threw the pillow aside angrily, got up and walked towards the door, opened the door, while the two people in the courtyard were still arguing, Xiao Yuanjing said dissatisfied:

"What's the noise, you're sleeping."

The two people who were arguing quickly looked back at the disheveled Xiao Yuanjing in surprise, and bowed their heads in silence.

Xiao Yuanjing gathered his clothes and stepped out of the bedroom door: "What's the noise, what happened?"

Lidong raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Yuanjing, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, something happened to the hotpot restaurant."

Xiao Yuanjing was taken aback, and hurried back to his room to change and wash, then followed Lidong and the shopkeeper who came to invite him, and headed towards the hot pot restaurant together.

The shopkeeper also hurriedly explained the ins and outs of the matter to him clearly.

In the morning, the shopkeeper just went to the hot pot restaurant to open the door, preparing for a new day of business. Who would have thought that not long after the door opened, two well-dressed men came to their hot pot restaurant with a dying man on their backs to ask for an explanation. .

It was said that they had dinner at his place last night, but not long after returning to the inn, they had vomiting and diarrhea, and invited a doctor to come to see them. The doctor said that they had eaten something unclean, and the other two were in good health. It's okay, the remaining one is weak, and she vomited and vented, and it became more and more serious.

Looking at the appearance of that man now, I am afraid that he is about to die.

The two men put the dying man at the door of the store, and began to cry to passers-by, saying that they were students who participated in Chunwei this year, and now they ate unclean things from this store, which made them unable to take the exam. In addition, they sold their family property in order to come to take the exam. If they can't even enter the gate of the Gongyuan now, wouldn't they be sorry for their ancestors.

And they didn't pay attention to the shopkeeper, they only cared about their own crying, the shopkeeper saw that there was nothing he could do, so they made people close the shop door, and he came out from the back door to look for Xiao Yuanjing.

After listening to the shopkeeper's narration, Xiao Yuanjing generally had a solid idea in his mind, and it happened that the carriage of the palace also stopped at the street.

Seeing Xiao Yuanjing get down from the carriage, the crowd of onlookers finally made way for Xiao Yuanjing to see the two crying at the door of the store and the one lying sideways.

"The boss is here."

"I heard that their store is not clean."

"No, it's been a long time since nothing happened."

"He is a relative of the emperor. It's too late to flatter him. Even if something happens, he won't say it."

…………

Xiao Yuanjing faintly heard someone whispering, but he didn't pay attention to it. Instead, he brought Ye Zhen, Li Dong and the shopkeeper to the front of the three people, and looked at them condescendingly:

"what happened?"

Among the two crying people, the slightly thin man looked up at Xiao Yuanjing, his eyes full of resentment: "You still ask us what's going on, don't you know how to read it yourself?"

Another man also said: "The things in your store are not clean. My classmate is almost dead right now because he ate the things in your store."

Xiao Yuanjing responded lightly, and quickly ordered: "Lidong, go and bring me a chair, I'm a little tired."

After receiving the order, Li Dong hurriedly opened the palace door and went in to move a chair, but the skinny man said: "It's really not a business, you are almost dead now, and you can still sit down."

Xiao Yuanjing nodded and smiled, and sat down on the stool brought by Lidong:

"That's right, this is about to kill people, why don't you see people from Jingzhao Yin's mansion?"

Another person said: "You are all officials and officials protecting each other, how can anyone make decisions for us ordinary people?"

Xiao Yuanjing frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking: "Then what do you want to do?"

The thin man said: "Losing money, bury my brother, and the rest will be used as pension expenses for his parents."

Xiao Yuanjing: "How much do you want?"

The two said in unison: "500 taels!"

Xiao Yuanjing seemed to be frightened: "Wow, the lion opened its mouth wide. It costs 500 taels per mouth."

The thin man pointed at Xiao Yuanjing, then lowered his head and wiped his tears: "My brother's life is because your store is gone, and now he just wants you 500 taels for his parents' pension expenses, and you still say that?" , My brother is too wronged, even if he turns into a ghost, he will definitely disturb your shop!"

"Yeah, it's clearly their fault, how can they be so stingy."

"The rich are like this. The richer they are, the less money they have."

"They would rather give money to bribe officials than go the right way."

"He is a relative of the emperor, so be careful."

…………

The discussants in the crowd came one after another, and they stood by the three men together, feeling dissatisfied with Xiao Yuanjing.

Xiao Yuanjing naturally heard it, and immediately said to Lidong: "Since they want 500 taels, then go and get them 500 taels."

Lidong was a little puzzled: "Master, why did you give them money? The food in our store is the cleanest."

Xiao Yuanjing smiled slightly, gave Lidong a wink, nodded and said: "If you are told to go, you can go, don't make people wait, if you come in time, maybe the one who is lying down can still be saved. "

Lidong looked around, then quickly turned and walked into the shop.
