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

On the Yanyue Terrace of Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, there is a coldly lit lantern in front of the courtyard. Although it is getting closer to early summer, the cool evening breeze at night still makes people not feel shivering all over.

In the silhouette on the study window, two people are sitting facing each other, one is sitting upright, the other seems to be eating something with his head bowed.

Wei Changgong poured him a cup of hot tea, looking at Xiao Yuanjing who was eating jerky in front of him, his eyes were extraordinarily gentle: "This is made during the daytime in Fleeting Years, there are more, and you will bring some when you go back later."

Xiao Yuan nodded, seeing that he had eaten half a plate of jerky, and now he was almost done eating. He drank water from a water glass and looked up at Wei Changgong: "His jerky is also very good. Eat it, and teach me some other day."

Wei Changgong responded, and then asked: "You are still looking for me tonight, do you miss me?"

Xiao Yuanjing smiled, got up quickly and sat next to Wei Changgong, and kissed him on the face; "Well, I just miss you."

Wei Changgong nodded and smiled slightly, his cheeks were a little hot: "Seriously, what happened to you?"

Xiao Yuan nodded his head, suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "It's like this. When we priced the menu of the hot pot restaurant, we aimed at some people with middle and high incomes, but we ignored this group of people who don't make a lot of money. So I was thinking, is there any way to make hot pot available to everyone."

Wei Changgong was puzzled: "What are you going to do?"

Xiao Yuanjing thought for a while, and said seriously to Shangwei Changgong's eyes: "Do you know that hot pot can cook other tricks, such as... skewers?"

Wei Changgong was puzzled, and turned slightly to Xiao Yuanjing: "Chuan Chuan?"

Xiao Yuan nodded his head: "Look, the hot pot in our store is one table for one person, and it's all done after eating, but if it's a chat on the street, it's not necessarily so. I remember when I was a child, the school There are people setting up a stall at the door, and apart from miscellaneous gadgets, stickers and toys, the most important thing is food."

Wei Changgong: "For example?"

Xiao Yuanjing: "Skewers, and barbecue! Because the overall economic conditions at that time were not high, and there were three potato chips on a skewer, which cost a dime. I used to think that the taste was delicious, but no matter how I did it later , I can’t even taste that taste.”

Wei Changgong licked his lips: "So you plan to sell skewers?"

Xiao Yuanjing nodded again and again: "That's right, the hot pot in our store is aimed at people with decent incomes, so they will definitely not go to eat the public skewered hot pot on the street, so, I plan to prepare it tomorrow, We will hold a trial operation the day after tomorrow, prepare two stalls first, and buy them in crowded places. As for the price, vegetarian ones cost one penny, and meat ones cost three pennies. "

Wei Changgong nodded and thought: "Then how do you want to go after this?"

Xiao Yuanjing: "I think if the response is good, we will start public leasing. There are not many, and we will prepare five franchisees. I will provide the base material, sales technology and pricing. These five qualified franchisees will come every morning. I collect base materials from the store, and after work is over at night, they will pay me. The commission I ask is [-]% of their income for the day. For example, they can earn [-] yuan a day, and I charge [-] yuan, earning [-]. Wen, I accept five Wen."

Wei Changgong looked at Xiao Yuanjing in disbelief: "Aren't you afraid that they will make false reports? Or in order not to pay you, you have been using the materials you provided to make money?"

Xiao Yuanjing smiled triumphantly: "Don't be afraid of this, every day whoever receives the bottom material in my store will ask them to leave their name, or put a fingerprint on them, and I will make it clear in advance that the bottom material is only for one day, if it exceeds If it is still used for a day, I will not be responsible if someone eats the base and feels uncomfortable, or if something happens."

Wei Changgong carefully looked at Xiao Yuanjing's appearance: "Actually, you have other ideas, don't you?"

Xiao Yuanjing suppressed a smile: "It's almost summer, I want to try a barbecue stall, but... I just want to run the hotpot restaurant well and earn some money, by the way, Ah Qian, come here It’s been a long time, have you heard of anyone with better talent and learning? You know, I already have this younger brother, and I have to arrange for the follow-up.”

Wei Changgong looked at him, and said for a long time: "Jing'er, I think His Majesty wants you to be the crown prince, and letting you open a shop now is just to take care of your heart, fearing that once the little prince is born, he will move to establish a crown prince." mind."

Xiao Yuanjing didn't understand: "So what, at worst, I'll be in the job for two years, and I'll let my younger brother do it. Anyway, I'm not the emperor, so I can change it."

"Jing'er," Chief Wei called respectfully, "If you become the crown prince, we won't be able to be together."

Xiao Yuanjing looked directly at him: "What do you mean?"

Wei Changgong lowered his eyes and said: "Ever since His Majesty got angry for Qi Guohou that day, I knew that he had high hopes for you. If you are an ordinary person, it's fine, but you just like men, and you like it if you like it, but you are a prince. According to His Majesty, you will never be allowed to be with me."

The smile on Xiao Yuanjing's face gradually cooled down: "So, you want to separate from me?"

Wei Changgong bit his lower lip lightly, even breathing tremblingly: "Never, I will never separate from you, but I can't think of a way to get the best of both worlds."

Xiao Yuanjing: "Since you want to be with me, don't think about anything else. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and you can always find a way. The big deal is that I don't want to be the prince."

Wei Changgong looked into Xiao Yuanjing's eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment. He always felt a little sorry for him, if he had put up with it at that time, or rejected him directly.Maybe it won't be so troublesome now.

But he loves Xiao Yuanjing, he selfishly wants to take him as his own, engrave his own mark, and then tell the whole world.

But now, he flinched from this step of announcing to the whole world that he could give up everything he had and take Xiao Yuanjing away, and he was sure that Xiao Yuanjing would follow him without hesitation.

It's just that at that time, the two of them were not so legitimate, and they always felt that they were sneaking.

Xiao Yuanjing looked sideways at Wei Changgong, supported his shoulder and kissed his lips, biting his red lips as if punishing him, until the smell of blood spread in his mouth, Xiao Yuanjing let go, glared at him:

"You don't regret it anymore."

Wei Changgong shook his head: "I haven't."

Xiao Yuanjing: "Then why are you looking at me with that expression?"

Wei Changgong: "Because I was thinking, if I give up, you will definitely ignore me in this life, and if I want to take you away, you will definitely follow me."

Xiao Yuanjing: "Of course."

Wei Changgong reached out to wipe the blood stains from his lips, looked straight at Xiao Yuanjing and said, "One day, I will let you follow me in a legitimate way."

Xiao Yuanjing: "Wait for you."

Wei Changgong stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, quickly called the waiter to bring hot water, and waited for Xiao Yuanjing to wash up. Tonight, he would not let Xiao Yuanjing return no matter what, he had to hug him He sleeps at ease.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yuanjing naturally woke up from Wei Changgong's bed and went directly to the Yamen. When he returned to the hot pot restaurant, Wei Changgong was already waiting in his office.

After discussing with Wei Changgong last night, Xiao Yuanjing felt that this matter could be put on the agenda.

So I prepared a deeper one, melted the hot pot base with broth, and then asked people to prepare five or six hundred thin bamboo sticks, and asked the master in the kitchen to work together to thread all the prepared vegetables into the bamboo sticks. sign on.

Potato poems, three slices of thin lotus root, and a series of vegetables such as fungus, about two hundred roots.

Then let Lidong and Li Changting set up a stove and set up a stool in a crowded place not far away, like those selling roadside noodles, and watch the fire cook the hot pot soup base. Gradually let the whole aroma permeate the whole street.

There was a stool next to the pot, and there was a basket of vegetables, and Lidong and Li Changting went there to wait for the guests to come.

Xiao Yuanjing and Wei Changgong were drinking tea in the hotpot restaurant, the shopkeeper looked at Xiao Yuanjing and said:

"Your Highness, Brother Lidong and Young Master Li, can they be sold for money?"

Xiao Yuanjing glanced at him: "Should be ok, there is no one in the store at noon today, just waiting for the good news from Lidong and the others."

The shopkeeper smiled, and then looked at the accounts of the two days behind the counter.

Ever since Xiao Yuanjing was able to pick and pull abacus beads, the shopkeeper has been more careful in checking the accounts, for fear that Xiao Yuanjing will find out what went wrong and deduct his wages.

He looked at Xiao Yuanjing who was very talkative, polite at all times, smiling, and very easy-going, but in fact, Xiao Yuanjing was meticulous in his work. Out of account, in account, all calculated in his mind.

So this shopkeeper can't be sloppy at all.

But after a while, I heard Lidong's cheering voice coming from outside the store, I heard the sound before I entered the door, and turned around with Xiao Yuanjing, just in time to see Lidong running back happily holding a money bag:

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's sold out! It's all sold out! A string of pennies, many people came to buy it, and it was sold out in a while. Mr. Li asked if there was any more, and asked me to bring some more to sell."

The corners of Lidong's eyes and brows were filled with joy and admiration for Xiao Yuanjing. He felt that Xiao Yuanjing's proposal was simply too good. He had never seen so many people crowding around, and they all bought a lot. Let's go, it's better than the business in this hot pot restaurant.

Xiao Yuanjing and Wei Changgong looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, it's a good business, not bad, Aqian, why don't you do me a favor and wear some more?"

Wei Changgong nodded and smiled slightly, got up and walked to the back kitchen with Xiao Yuanjing.

But after a while, this Lidong once again took the dressed vegetables and went to the place where the skewers were sold.

Xiao Yuanjing and Wei Changgong stood at the door, looking at Lidong's leaving back, Xiao Yuanjing said: "I think I should monopolize the management."

Wei Changgong: "As long as the quality can be guaranteed, it's fine."

Xiao Yuanjing pondered: "When I enter the palace tomorrow, I will ask Chen'er to write me a signboard, hot pot skewers, one price for vegetarian dishes, two prices for meat dishes, and the price will be clearly marked."

Wei Changgong looked at him sideways and couldn't help nodding: "I think it's feasible."

Xiao Yuanjing chuckled, and began to think about how to write the franchisee's contract. Now that Lidong and the others are taking the lead, it is not difficult to come here to attract the franchisee.

Just as Xiao Yuanjing was thinking about it, he suddenly saw more and more people gathered at Lidong's side, and he didn't know who was yelling to beat someone, so Xiao Yuanjing felt that something was wrong, and ran over directly with Wei Changgong.
