By the time Ye Yao's rain and dew period is over, it will be five days later.
He didn't know how he got here these five days, like a small boat floating in the sea, rising and falling with the waves.
Finally sober,? Xiao Mingce waited on him to eat and drink, and after a while he didn't know what Xixi was.
The rainy and dew period is very cool, but it is too time-consuming, five full days!Ye Yao felt as if he had been completely reborn, his back was sore and his legs were cramping, and he urgently needed to rest.
Seeing Xiao Mingce looking refreshed again, looking like a spring breeze, Ye Yao felt incredible!
This guy has worked so hard to "irrigate" for five days, isn't it worth it?Why is he spread out on the bed like a puddle of mud!
It really is not the same between people.
Ye Yao pushed away the handsome face beside him who was about to laugh out creases, and said in a weak voice, "Stop laughing,? You almost have crow's feet from laughing."
"What are crow's feet?" Xiao Mingce asked curiously, the smile on his face didn't diminish at all.
Ye Yao rolled his eyes at him, "I'm thirsty, please pour me a glass of water."
It is becoming more and more convenient for the princess to command the prince.
Xiao Mingce was always responsive to Ye Yao's requests, not to mention that after the bond was completely formed, he smelled the Dikun Xinyin embedded in his letter, and felt extremely satisfied. With an "oh", he immediately got up and poured water for him.
On the day of Ye Yao's rain and dew period, the news reached the palace. The palace naturally knew about the end of the rain and dew period.
The concubine Xian, who hadn't been out of the palace for many years, came to see him in Prince An's mansion in person, and brought him a gift from the queen mother, a jade Guanyin Guanyin.
Sending Avalokitesvara is made of transparent material, so you can tell it is a high-quality jade at a glance.It's just that the whole family went to battle, just to give birth, Ye Yao couldn't help but have a headache.
Sending off the concubine Xian, Xiao Mingce looked at the Avalokitesvara on the table, looked at Ye Yao, "You don't like it, why don't you put it in the warehouse?"
Ye Yao snorted nasally, "Before the concubine mother left, she specially ordered Guanyin to be placed in the room. It's the elder's wish. If it's in the room, just put it in the room."
Ye Yaoxin said, I am an atheist, so I don't believe in this.
Afterwards, General Ye's family also came, the deal was done, Ye Yao had formed a contract with Xiao Mingce, no matter how unhappy Liu Jinglan was, he could only accept the fact.
During the period of Ye Yao's rain and dew, the decoration of the hot pot restaurant did not fail. Under the supervision of Ye Lingshuang, the decoration masters did not stop for five days. In about five days, the decoration of the shop will be completed.
And Ye Lingshuang also improved the casting technology of the hot pot, and installed the standard of making mandarin duck pots that Ye Yao said. It is estimated that 50 hot pots can be produced before the store is renovated.
When Ye Yao was able to go to the ground, two days later, he lay on the bed for a week. He felt that he was going to be useless. After he was alive and kicking, the first thing he did was to go to the hot pot restaurant he had been thinking about to supervise the work.
The store has two floors. There are 20 tables in the lobby downstairs and 15 tables in the upstairs. It is not too big. It is just a test of the water. If it is good, then start to open a branch immediately.
Square tables and benches, hanging some calligraphy paintings for decoration, and installing lighting lamps. Private rooms are divided into ordinary rooms and private rooms. The ordinary rooms are simply furnished, while the private rooms are divided into two areas, separated by a screen in the middle.
After another three days, the decoration of the hot pot restaurant was finally completed, and Ye Lingshuang brought all the hot pots to the shop, and asked a feng shui master to calculate the date, and it was scheduled to open in five days.
They have five days to advertise the opening.
Ye Yao and Ye Lingshuang talked about how to do publicity before, find an artist to draw a picture book, find a literati to write soft articles, first invite a group of people to taste the taste of hot pot in advance, the bottom of the pot is free three days before the opening, and the dishes are [-]% off, etc.
Publicity does not require Ye Yao to show his face. The Ye family and Xiao Mingce have already done it for him. Anyway, with the connections of the Ye family alone, three days before the opening, the seats are always full from morning till night.
Of course, Ye Yao's goal is not to earn money from acquaintances, the most important thing is taste, but it is also important to have a good start, but he did not refuse Ye Lingshuang's proposal to invite acquaintances.
As for other things to prepare, such as dishes, Ye Yao has already come up with a menu, but at present there are only 60 varieties of meat and vegetables, which is more than the styles of ordinary restaurants.
As for the chef, when Ye Yao was in Biezhuang, he told Master Li the method of making hot pot in detail. The most important thing for hot pot is the bottom soup and bottom ingredients. It can be delivered elsewhere.Fang has been learning soup cooking skills from Master Li these days. She has the basics and learned very quickly. Ye Yao plans to let her come to the hot pot restaurant as a post chef, but at the beginning, Master Li is still in charge of the hot pot restaurant. If she is able to take charge on her own, I will completely leave it to her.
As for the service staff, Ye Lingshuang said that she could help recruit people, and Ye Yao was also happy to take it easy. As for the front desk account manager, according to Ye Lingshuang, it was related to money, and they had to be trusted.Ye Yao said he believed her, but she still insisted on letting them find it by themselves. Ye Yao had no choice but to ask Xiao Mingce to find one, and he transferred an accountant from another shop.
The hot pot restaurant is under the name of Ye Lingshuang, and she has been doing publicity all the time, claiming that this way of eating is something she occasionally ate at a farm when she went out to do business. Also try something new.
On the day of the opening, Ye Yao came to the hot pot restaurant early in the morning, returned to the palace after going down to court, changed into casual clothes, and hurried over here.
In fact, they didn't have anything to do, just join in the fun.
When the ribbon was cutting, Ye Yao and Xiao Mingce stayed in the private room upstairs together, watching Ye Lingshuang downstairs facing the people joining in the fun at the door, unrestrained and natural, dignified and generous, looking like a strong woman.
Ye Yao suddenly remembered what Liu Jinglan said, Taoist Yihe calculated the Nine Heavens Phoenix fate for Ye Lingshuang, to be honest, his second sister really has the ability to be a queen.
It was obviously an ancient time where men were superior to women, but under the background of the business genius father, he still has no less demeanor.
After the ribbon-cutting downstairs, the sound of firecrackers passed, the two returned to the table again, Ye Yao took a sip of tea and sighed: "I am the boss behind the scenes, but I let the second sister do everything, I feel so sorry."
"She helped you not to make you feel sorry." Xiao Mingce also poured himself a cup of tea, "She must have seen the business opportunities behind it, so she is so interested. You also want to open a store in Liangdu. Her The purpose is more than that. But if you want to open branches in multiple places, you need a merchant like the Liu family to come, and the first store will be under her name, and it will be more convenient for her to open branches later."
"I mentioned to her about opening a branch, but I don't know how the test will turn out. It's too early to say that," Ye Yao said.
"Don't think so much, you'll know the result in a few days." Xiao Mingce softened his hair, "But I have confidence in you."
After Ye Lingshuang finished cutting the ribbons, she also came up.
When I entered the private room, I saw two people, you and me, cleared my throat and coughed, and saw Ye Yao looked over, and said: "There are more visitors than I expected, and the first batch will be opened soon, father later." Dad and I want to come over, please entertain me, I will meet some acquaintances."
"Second sister, you are too polite, father and father come over, just let them come in directly." Ye Yao replied.
Ye Lingshuang said a few more words before rushing downstairs. Father and father arrived in time before the banquet. The four of them ordered mandarin duck pot, which was more satisfying than clear soup pot.
Printing is not yet developed enough, and the menus are all handwritten in italics calligraphy, which is beautiful and neat, and can be used as a calligraphy collection in modern times.This menu is not a tick-off menu, there is a number in front of each dish, just tell the waiter the number when ordering, and he will write it down on a paper and send it to the back kitchen.
After Ye Yao finished ordering what she wanted to eat, she handed the menu to Liu Jinglan: "What else would daddy want to eat?"
Liu Jinglan took it and glanced at the menu, then shook her head, "Your order is enough."
Ye Yao asked Xiao Mingce and General Ye again, and they also said that he could just order.
Xiao Er wrote down the dish number and went down. The four of them waited for the hot pot to be served, chatting without saying a word.
Liu Jinglan glanced at Ye Yao, thought for a while and asked him: "How is Ah Yao feeling these days?"
Ye Yao was puzzled by the question, and exchanged a look with Xiao Mingce, "It's pretty good, it tastes good."
"That's good." Liu Jinglan nodded, "Di Kun has a very high chance of getting pregnant for the first time. You should pay more attention in the next month. If you feel uncomfortable, you must remember to consult a doctor."
Ye Yao twitched the corners of his mouth, unable to get rid of the child even after eating.
"Thank you dad for reminding me, I will pay attention to A Yao's body." Xiao Mingce answered for him.
This topic didn't last long. Xiao Er brought a hot pot upstairs, followed by the waiter who served the dishes. The first day was well prepared, and the speed of serving the hot pot was quite fast.
General Ye taught his three children not to eat or sleep since they were young, so he naturally set an example. After the hot pot was served, Liu Jinglan talked less, and Ye Yao was happy and peaceful, enjoying the hot pot happily.
After eating for a while, there was a sudden noise downstairs.
Ye Yao was puzzled, wouldn't you encounter kickers on the first day of opening?
When Xiao Mingce was about to go down to have a look, he found that the noise was getting closer and closer, and someone knocked on the door of his private room.
Looking at Xiao Mingce, Ye Yao said, "Please come in."
Outside the door was Ye Lingshuang, followed by a man, that man was Xiao Mingsun, the king of Chu, because Master Li was the royal cook given to An Wang's mansion by the emperor, he came to the mansion for dinner once or twice, Ye Yao didn't know him very well.
"Fifth brother!" When Xiao Mingsun saw Xiao Mingce, he passed Ye Lingshuang and entered the private room, looking at the hot pot and dishes on the table, and swallowed his saliva as if he had met a great savior.
Xiao Mingce frowned: "What are you doing here? You were the one who was arguing downstairs just now?"
"Ben Wang heard that there is a new restaurant opened in Liangdu East City. The food is very fresh, so I came to see it. I didn't expect to come one step later. The hall and private rooms are full. I want them to make room for me. They refused, so I quarreled with them." Xiao Mingxuan seemed to have just seen General Ye and his wife, "Miss Ye said that you and the fifth sister-in-law were also here, so I wanted to join the table. It turned out that General Ye and Mrs. Yes, that king is quite abrupt."
"Shame on you, sit down quickly." Everyone is here, Xiao Mingce will not drive them away, and he also knows that the old seven is not bad by nature, he just likes to eat with one bite.
"Okay!" Xiao Mingxuan readily agreed.
More people means more bowls and more pairs of chopsticks. You can always add more food if you don’t have enough food. However, if there are more foodies, the table will be much more lively.
I heard Xiao Mingxuan talking while eating alone.
"How do you make this? Why does it taste like shrimp?" He said the shrimp was slippery, and just as Ye Yao was about to answer him, he picked up another fish ball and asked how it was made.
"What kind of meat is this? It's so tender and smooth to eat." It's actually marinated meat slices.
"I didn't expect vegetables to be so delicious just by blanching them in soup. Who discovered this way of eating! You're so talented!"
Ye Yao didn't eat much after a meal of hot pot, his ears were almost hearing cocoons, Xiao Mingsun really had a soft spot for food, no wonder the throne didn't arouse his interest.
Compared with food, when the emperor is tired and stuck at home, there is no comfort in looking for food everywhere.
After finishing the hot pot, Xiao Mingsun patted his stomach and leaned on the chair, without the air of a prince. Xiao Mingce and Ye Yao sent General Ye and his wife away, and returned to the private room.
Xiao Mingce became angry when he saw him like that, and kicked his calf, "Look at you now, do you still look like a prince?"
Xiao Mingxuan was not annoyed, and his fifth brother didn't kick and hurt him, and immediately propped himself up and sat upright, smirking: "The hot pot is so delicious, I eat a bit too much, doesn't it depend on digestion? Fifth brother, don't be angry. "
Xiao Mingce glanced at him angrily.
It's not just that he ate too much, he dared to bet that if this was a self-service hot pot restaurant, the boss would cry and send him away when he met a customer like him, hoping he wouldn't come next time.
Normally, he would definitely hope that Xiao Mingxuan would patronize his hot pot restaurant, after all, eating a lot is expensive, but today he and his table are completely free!It's not enough to go to the prince's mansion to have a meal, but to come to his hot pot restaurant to have a meal. Those who didn't know thought that the Chu prince's mansion was too poor to open the pot.
It's not that Ye Yao is stingy, it's because they are not familiar with each other.
After the first batch was over, two more batches were opened, and the number of hot pot restaurants gradually decreased. It seemed that the response on the first day was quite good. According to this trend, they could discuss with Ye Lingshuang about opening a branch in a few days.
Liangdu East City will be lively until very late. After all, there is a Dahualou nearby, and people come to eat hot pot at night. The dishes prepared on the opening day of the hot pot restaurant are almost used up, and the closing time is earlier than expected. Ready for tomorrow's meal.
Ye Yao returned to the palace before dinner began.
For the next three days, Ye Yao would go to the hot pot restaurant every day to observe the business situation secretly. After Xiao Mingce went to court, he would go to the restaurant to pick him up after finishing his official business. Everyone only knew that he was a dignitary, but it was not surprising that he belonged to Princess An. many.
The promotions for the first three days ended, and the turnover on the fourth day was less, but the income was about the same. This was all expected, and overall it was even better than expected.
On the fifth day, before Ye Yao went to the hot pot restaurant, Ye Lingshuang came to the palace to look for him.
"Second sister, is something wrong with the hotpot restaurant? I'm going to check it out." Ye Yao asked.
Ye Lingshuang smiled and said, "Everything is going well in the hot pot restaurant, don't worry, I'm here to talk to you about opening a branch."
Ye Yao was surprised: "Is it too early to open a branch now? This store in Liangduli has only been open for five days, and I don't know how it will last."
"I asked the accountant to calculate the income of the past few days. It took only five days to pay back the cost, including the initial decoration investment and hot pot production. Most customers reported that the taste is good and the way of eating is fresh. It is suitable for a family and is also suitable for friends. Party, there are many key dishes, and many new things that they have never eaten, they can’t eat elsewhere.” Ye Lingshuang came to talk about opening a branch, and naturally made sufficient preparations, “In fact, there is nothing except the first day I called Some acquaintances, customers will come spontaneously in the next few days, far exceeding expectations."
"Since the second sister is ready, let's open a branch store, but where will the next store be opened?" Ye Lingshuang would not do business at a loss, Ye Yao said.
"Naturally, it's the Jiangnan District where the Liu Family Villa is located. I'm familiar with it, and the investigation before opening the store can be saved." Ye Lingshuang said.
"Jiangnan District is a rich place. Hot pot restaurants do a good job in Liangdu, and they will definitely do well in Jiangnan District." Ye Yao smiled. You must know that the hot pot in the previous life was from all over the country, and the taste can be adjusted according to each region.
"I think so too." Ye Lingshuang nodded, "The base ingredients and soup base dishes are all made by you. Even if I open a branch, I will give you a share. This time I came to discuss the share with you."
"This store in Liangdu was created by you, but in the end all the proceeds were mine. How could I have the nerve to ask you for a share of other stores." Ye Yao waved his hand.
"The share is not for you to get for nothing." Ye Lingshuang knew that he would refuse, "Although the hot pot is fresh now, but with these tastes and dishes, you will get tired of it sooner or later. Others see that our hot pot restaurant is doing well. If you can imitate, even if the taste is not as authentic as ours, it will still cause the loss of our customers, and it is up to you to replenish dishes in time and research new tastes.”
It was only then that Ye Yao suddenly realized that Ye Lingshuang was worthy of being the heir trained by the Liu family since she was a child. Now that she thought about the future, it seemed that she was planning to develop the hot pot industry for a long time.
"Second sister is still considerate." Ye Yao sincerely praised, "It's just that I have researched the dishes and tastes and will definitely provide them to you for free. The share is really unnecessary."
Ye Lingshuang shook his head, "The taste and dishes are the most important thing for a hot pot restaurant to last for a long time. A little experience in operation is all it takes, but talents who can research new tastes and new dishes are rare. Don't refuse me any more. There is no way to talk anymore.”
"Okay, then how much do you think is more appropriate?" Ye Lingshuang had said so, and it was not appropriate for Ye Yao to refuse, so he simply pushed the question to him again.
"I'll give you [-]%." Ye Lingshuang said, holding out her index finger.
He didn't know how he got here these five days, like a small boat floating in the sea, rising and falling with the waves.
Finally sober,? Xiao Mingce waited on him to eat and drink, and after a while he didn't know what Xixi was.
The rainy and dew period is very cool, but it is too time-consuming, five full days!Ye Yao felt as if he had been completely reborn, his back was sore and his legs were cramping, and he urgently needed to rest.
Seeing Xiao Mingce looking refreshed again, looking like a spring breeze, Ye Yao felt incredible!
This guy has worked so hard to "irrigate" for five days, isn't it worth it?Why is he spread out on the bed like a puddle of mud!
It really is not the same between people.
Ye Yao pushed away the handsome face beside him who was about to laugh out creases, and said in a weak voice, "Stop laughing,? You almost have crow's feet from laughing."
"What are crow's feet?" Xiao Mingce asked curiously, the smile on his face didn't diminish at all.
Ye Yao rolled his eyes at him, "I'm thirsty, please pour me a glass of water."
It is becoming more and more convenient for the princess to command the prince.
Xiao Mingce was always responsive to Ye Yao's requests, not to mention that after the bond was completely formed, he smelled the Dikun Xinyin embedded in his letter, and felt extremely satisfied. With an "oh", he immediately got up and poured water for him.
On the day of Ye Yao's rain and dew period, the news reached the palace. The palace naturally knew about the end of the rain and dew period.
The concubine Xian, who hadn't been out of the palace for many years, came to see him in Prince An's mansion in person, and brought him a gift from the queen mother, a jade Guanyin Guanyin.
Sending Avalokitesvara is made of transparent material, so you can tell it is a high-quality jade at a glance.It's just that the whole family went to battle, just to give birth, Ye Yao couldn't help but have a headache.

Normally, he would definitely hope that Xiao Mingxuan would patronize his hot pot restaurant, after all, eating a lot is expensive, but today he and his table are completely free!It's not enough to go to the prince's mansion to have a meal, but to come to his hot pot restaurant to have a meal. Those who didn't know thought that the Chu prince's mansion was too poor to open the pot.
It's not that Ye Yao is stingy, it's because they are not familiar with each other.
After the first batch was over, two more batches were opened, and the number of hot pot restaurants gradually decreased. It seemed that the response on the first day was quite good. According to this trend, they could discuss with Ye Lingshuang about opening a branch in a few days.
Liangdu East City will be lively until very late. After all, there is a Dahualou nearby, and people come to eat hot pot at night. The dishes prepared on the opening day of the hot pot restaurant are almost used up, and the closing time is earlier than expected. Ready for tomorrow's meal.
Ye Yao returned to the palace before dinner began.
For the next three days, Ye Yao would go to the hot pot restaurant every day to observe the business situation secretly. After Xiao Mingce went to court, he would go to the restaurant to pick him up after finishing his official business. Everyone only knew that he was a dignitary, but it was not surprising that he belonged to Princess An. many.
The promotions for the first three days ended, and the turnover on the fourth day was less, but the income was about the same. This was all expected, and overall it was even better than expected.
On the fifth day, before Ye Yao went to the hot pot restaurant, Ye Lingshuang came to the palace to look for him.
"Second sister, is something wrong with the hotpot restaurant? I'm going to check it out." Ye Yao asked.
Ye Lingshuang smiled and said, "Everything is going well in the hot pot restaurant, don't worry, I'm here to talk to you about opening a branch."
Ye Yao was surprised: "Is it too early to open a branch now? This store in Liangduli has only been open for five days, and I don't know how it will last."
"I asked the accountant to calculate the income of the past few days. It took only five days to pay back the cost, including the initial decoration investment and hot pot production. Most customers reported that the taste is good and the way of eating is fresh. It is suitable for a family and is also suitable for friends. Party, there are many key dishes, and many new things that they have never eaten, they can’t eat elsewhere.” Ye Lingshuang came to talk about opening a branch, and naturally made sufficient preparations, “In fact, there is nothing except the first day I called Some acquaintances, customers will come spontaneously in the next few days, far exceeding expectations."
"Since the second sister is ready, let's open a branch store, but where will the next store be opened?" Ye Lingshuang would not do business at a loss, Ye Yao said.
"Naturally, it's the Jiangnan District where the Liu Family Villa is located. I'm familiar with it, and the investigation before opening the store can be saved." Ye Lingshuang said.
"Jiangnan District is a rich place. Hot pot restaurants do a good job in Liangdu, and they will definitely do well in Jiangnan District." Ye Yao smiled. You must know that the hot pot in the previous life was from all over the country, and the taste can be adjusted according to each region.
"I think so too." Ye Lingshuang nodded, "The base ingredients and soup base dishes are all made by you. Even if I open a branch, I will give you a share. This time I came to discuss the share with you."
"This store in Liangdu was created by you, but in the end all the proceeds were mine. How could I have the nerve to ask you for a share of other stores." Ye Yao waved his hand.
"The share is not for you to get for nothing." Ye Lingshuang knew that he would refuse, "Although the hot pot is fresh now, but with these tastes and dishes, you will get tired of it sooner or later. Others see that our hot pot restaurant is doing well. If you can imitate, even if the taste is not as authentic as ours, it will still cause the loss of our customers, and it is up to you to replenish dishes in time and research new tastes.”
It was only then that Ye Yao suddenly realized that Ye Lingshuang was worthy of being the heir trained by the Liu family since she was a child. Now that she thought about the future, it seemed that she was planning to develop the hot pot industry for a long time.
"Second sister is still considerate." Ye Yao sincerely praised, "It's just that I have researched the dishes and tastes and will definitely provide them to you for free. The share is really unnecessary."
Ye Lingshuang shook his head, "The taste and dishes are the most important thing for a hot pot restaurant to last for a long time. A little experience in operation is all it takes, but talents who can research new tastes and new dishes are rare. Don't refuse me any more. There is no way to talk anymore.”
"Okay, then how much do you think is more appropriate?" Ye Lingshuang had said so, and it was not appropriate for Ye Yao to refuse, so he simply pushed the question to him again.
"I'll give you [-]%." Ye Lingshuang said, holding out her index finger.
