Prince of Tang Dynasty

Empress Changsun naturally told Li Shimin about Li Yu's opening of a roast duck restaurant.This time, Li Shimin did not object.However, I can't help but find it funny to hear that my youngest son is worrying about money for getting married and having children in the future.

"Guanyin Maid, you said he is only so young that he wants to get married and have children?" Li Shimin was very curious how the youngest son would think of this aspect, "He is hairy, and he wants to get married and have children before he grows up."

"Xiao Yu'er said he was planning for a rainy day." Empress Changsun raised her lips and chuckled, "However, the hunger marketing he mentioned is a very good idea."

"Thanks to him coming up with it." Li Shimin also felt that his youngest son's hunger marketing is very good, "Where do you think his little head has so many weird ideas?" If Li Yu was on the scene, he would definitely correct him. Words, he is obviously a whimsical idea.

"Xiaoyu has always been a ghostly spirit. Look at the things he makes that have never been seen before." This year, Li Yu always made weird things. Empress Changsun was surprised from the beginning. Accept it calmly.

Li Shimin said, "Yes."

"He wants to open a shop this time, so let him do it." Empress Zhangsun was very supportive of her youngest son's opening a shop, after all, it's not a bad thing.Besides, the princes and princesses have opened their own shops in private.

"I'll just see how far his roast duck restaurant can go."

Since Empress Changsun said she would support her youngest son in opening a shop, she naturally kept her word and sent someone to do it right away.

Empress Changsun came forward and found the shop soon.This shop is located next door to the most tea house in Dongshi. This shop was originally a rouge and gouache shop, but something urgent happened to the shopkeeper's family, so he stopped renting it.

The location of this store is very good, with a lot of traffic every day.After the shopkeeper of rouge and gouache stopped renting, many people came to rent this shop, and the asking price was higher than the other. When Jingzhao County was about to rent it to a silk shopkeeper, when they learned that the empress wanted to rent it, they immediately rented it to Empress Empress.

Li Yu learned that Empress Changsun had helped him find a shop, so he immediately started to design the shop.This shop has two floors, Li Yu felt that it was too "wasteful" to only sell roast duck, so he decided to turn the shop into a small restaurant.

He decided to change the Carp Roast Duck Restaurant into a Carp Small Restaurant, which sells other dishes besides roast duck, but the daily dishes are limited like the roast duck.

After hearing the youngest son's new idea, Empress Changsun thought it was very good, so she let the youngest son do it.

Li Yu planned to turn his small restaurant into the kind of expensive private restaurant in later generations, so the decoration of his small restaurant had to be high-end.

In order to make his small restaurant grand and classy, ​​Li Yu went out of his way to ask Yu Shinan for a letter.

Yu Shinan is a famous calligrapher, if his small restaurant has Yu Shinan's calligraphy, the grade will instantly rise.

Naturally, Yu Shinan would not refuse Li Yu's request for writing.He not only wrote a few words for Li Yu, but also drew a landscape painting for Li Yu.

This landscape painting was hung by Li Yu in the most conspicuous place in the lobby on the first floor of the small restaurant. Guests can see the majestic landscape painting as soon as they enter.

In addition to calligraphy and painting, Li Yu also brazenly asked for a lot of expensive ornaments from Empress Changsun and Li Shimin, and used them as a facade.

In addition to personally designing the decoration of the small restaurant, Li Yu also personally trained the shop assistants.Since he wants to turn the Carp Restaurant into an expensive private restaurant, the service must keep up.

Not only that, Li Yu also designed clothes for the guys in the store, that is, work clothes.Clothes for the guys are made of good fabrics that look expensive and beautiful.

The overalls designed by Li Yu are light blue, with vivid carp embroidered on them.Also, the piping of the dress is white, and rippling water patterns are embroidered on the piping.This outfit is not only beautiful, but also fairy-like.

If it wasn't for fear of being too abrupt, Li Yu really wanted to make out the tuxedo.

The cooks, shopkeepers, shopkeepers, etc. in the store were all arranged by Empress Changsun, so there was no need for Li Yu to worry.Li Yu only needs to be the boss behind the scenes, and he doesn't have to worry about the rest.

It took Li Yu a month to design and decorate the small restaurant and train the staff.At the end of April, the Carp Restaurant officially opened.

As soon as the small carp restaurant opened, it created a huge sensation in Dongshi.All the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty had eaten roast duck, and they had all bought roast duck from Li Yu's place.Now that Dongshi has opened a small restaurant that specializes in selling roast duck and other foods, these ministers will of course patronize the business.

On the first day it opened, the business of Carp Small Restaurant was very hot. Not only were the upper and lower floors full of people, there were also people waiting in line at the door.

Because it was the first day of opening, Carp Restaurant made an exception to provide [-] roast ducks, and also made an exception to entertain guests with [-] tables.Three days later, the carp restaurant returned to normal, selling only [-] roast ducks a day and only serving [-] tables of guests.

Cheng Yaojing and the others were very dissatisfied with the regulations of the Carp Restaurant, and went to Li Yu to argue.Li Yu said that he did not open the Carp Restaurant, and it was useless for them to find him.

Cheng Goblin and the others naturally didn't believe Li Yu's words.Although the shopkeeper of the carp restaurant is from the eldest grandson's family, they all know in their hearts that the real boss behind the scenes is Li Yu.

No matter what Cheng Fairy and the others said, Li Yu insisted that he was not the owner of the Carp Restaurant, which made Cheng Fairy and the others helpless.

Seeing that roast duck is so popular, the shopkeepers of Zuixianju naturally wanted their cook to make roast duck. Unfortunately, the roast duck cooked by their cook couldn't compare with the roast duck of Carp Restaurant.Because of the roast duck, Zuixianju's business was robbed by the carp restaurant a lot.

Li Yu learned that Zui Xianju was pirating his roast duck, but failed, but this did not reassure him.He is going to open a restaurant in the future and fight Zui Xianju in the ring, so he has to find out who the boss behind Zui Xianju is.

Li Yu was a little surprised to learn from Prince Li Chengqian that the behind-the-scenes owner of Zuixianju was the Cui family, but at the same time he felt it made sense.

It is said that Zuixianju has been in operation for decades and has been standing in Chang'an City. There must be powerful forces behind it, otherwise it would not be so prosperous.Li Yu had long guessed that the behind-the-scenes boss of Zuixianju was a family, he guessed it was one of the four families of Cui, Wang, Zheng and Lu.Or, it was a partnership between these four companies.

I learned from Li Chengqian that many shops in the East Market and West Market belong to aristocratic families, and even many houses in Chang'an City belong to aristocratic families.It is no exaggeration to say that the family's business covers all aspects.

After Li Yu learned about it, he thought to himself that it's no wonder that Comrade Li couldn't move the aristocratic family. This move would affect the whole body.Although the power of the aristocratic family was somewhat beyond Li Yu's surprise, it was not unacceptable, after all, there was a saying that a family of iron strikes, an emperor of flowing water.The four families like Cui Wang and Zheng Lu have stood firm for hundreds of years and have gone through one dynasty after another unharmed. Their power can be imagined.

The owner behind the Zuixianju is the Cui family, A Niang and the others should know, otherwise A Niang would not let someone from the Changsun family come forward to be the shopkeeper of the small carp restaurant.

Wait, the owner of Zuixianju is the Cui family. A Niang and Aye support him to open the carp restaurant. Could it be that they want the carp restaurant to kill Zuixianju?

It was really guessed by Li Yu. Empress Changsun learned about hunger marketing and his small carp restaurant management model from him, and felt that his small carp restaurant would definitely replace Zuixianju in time.

Li Yu didn't bother to think about it anymore, so he just became a hands-off boss, and didn't bother to take care of the small carp restaurant.This month, he was busy with the small carp restaurant, so he didn't look for pigs.Now that the Carp Restaurant is on the right track, he doesn't need to manage it, so he can go find his pig.When he finds the pig and finds out the various ways to eat the pork, then the business of the carp restaurant will be improved to a higher level.

Besides the pigs, Li Yu was also busy collecting tea.Because he was busy with the small carp restaurant, he forgot to collect the tea before Qingming Festival.Tea before Qingming is the best drink, he actually missed it, really...

The tea Li Yu most wanted to harvest was of course Longjing tea from Hangzhou, but at this time there was no Longjing tea.He had to find a way to send people to Hangzhou to find Longjing tea.

The search for Longjing tea has been put aside, he is now going to collect fresh tea leaves and make them into loose tea.He really can't stand the current way of drinking tea, it's really too bad to drink.

Fortunately, there are farmers growing tea in the countryside outside Chang'an City, although it is not a good tea.

In the Hall of Yiyuan, Li Yu was discussing with Empress Changsun about his going out of the palace.

Empress Changsun just woke up, not in good spirits.Today, Empress Changsun is not yet three months pregnant, and her fetal appearance is not stable. In addition, she is a bit older. During this period of time, her spirit is not very good, and she is often tired and lethargic.

"What are you doing out of the palace?"

"Aniang, I'm going out of the palace to play." Li Yu was afraid that Empress Changsun would not agree, so he hurriedly quoted what Empress Changsun said more than a month ago, "Aniang, you said, after my body recuperates for a period of time, I will agree to it." I'm going out to play."

Empress Changsun didn't expect her youngest son to remember these words, "It's fine to go out to play, but you have to pay attention to your body and don't get sick like last time."

Li Yu had an obedient face: "Don't worry, Ma'am, I will pay attention, and I will never let myself get sick."

"I agreed."

"Thank you, Aunt."

"Tell me, Aye."

"I'm going to tell Aye now." After Li Yu finished speaking, he hurried to the Ganlu Hall.

Li Shimin was discussing political affairs with Fang Xuanling and the others, so it was not good for Li Yu to go in and disturb him.

"Eunuch Feng, how long will Aye and the others have to talk?" Li Yu thought about going to look for pigs outside Chang'an City in the afternoon.

"Depending on the situation, it will take a long time to discuss." Feng Yong said, "His Royal Highness, if you have something to tell everyone, I can help you pass it on."

Li Yu thought for a while and said, "Then tell Aye for me that I'm out of the palace to play."

"The servant must tell everyone."

"Thank you then. I'm going to find Brother Nine." Li Zhi hadn't finished school yet, and when Li Yu left, Li Zhi was reading aloud.

Li Yu tiptoed on the window and watched, when suddenly his shoulder was lightly patted, he turned his head and saw an old man with gray hair, he quickly stood up and gave a junior salute, "Mr. Xiao."

This person is Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu returned a salute, and then asked kindly: "Is His Highness King Rui here to look for His Highness King Jin?"

Li Yu raised his head and smiled cutely at Xiao Yu: "Yeah, I'm here to look for my ninth brother." For such a respectable old man like Xiao Yu, Li Yu respected him very much.

"His Royal Highness Jin will leave school in a while, would His Royal Highness Rui want to have a cup of tea in the old minister's room?" Xiao Yu stroked his beard and smiled kindly, "There are still snacks in the old minister's room."

Hearing the word "Dim Sum", Li Yu's eyes lit up obviously, but he hesitated in his heart: "Will I disturb you, Mr. Xiao?"

Xiao Yu smiled gently and kindly: "No."

Li Yu nodded and said very politely: "Then I will trouble you."

"It's my honor not to bother you."

Li Yu followed Xiao Yu to his house, to be precise, it was his office.

As soon as he walked into Xiao Yu's office, he saw books everywhere.Xiao Yu's office is only three or four square meters, but the walls are surrounded by bookshelves, and the shelves are full of books.Li Yu glanced casually, and found that there were many miscellaneous books on the bookshelf, including "The Analects of Confucius", "University", and travel notes and manuscripts.

"His Royal Highness, please sit down."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao." Li Yu sat down on the couch by the window, with his back straight and his posture straight.

"His Royal Highness, please use." Xiao Yu brought two plates of snacks and a glass of warm water to Li Yu, "I heard His Majesty said that you don't like tea, so I poured you a glass of warm water."

Li Yu didn't expect Xiao Yu to be so careful, and said flatteredly: "Mr. Xiao, you have a heart."

"His Royal Highness, please use some dim sum."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao." While eating his snacks, Li Yu pondered in his heart, how could Xiao Yu be in the "primary school", was he dismissed from office and demoted to teach in the "primary school"?

It was not the first time Xiao Yu saw Li Yu, but the number of times he saw Li Yu was not many, at most three or four times, each time King Rui gave him a different impression.However, seeing King Rui's complexion a few times before was not very good, and people couldn't help but feel sorry for him when they saw him.When I saw King Rui this time, his complexion and spirit were good, and people couldn't help but love him.

"His Royal Highness, how is your health?"

"Mr. Xiao, I'm in good health and I'm fine." Li Yu grinned at Xiao Yu, "Thank you for your concern."

"That's good." Seeing that Li Yu ate the snack residue on the corner of his mouth, Xiao Yu reached out to help Li Yu wipe it off.

Li Yu subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked it.

"No more." Xiao Yu had a great-grandson who was about the same age as Li Yu, and when he saw Li Yu, he couldn't help but think of his great-grandson.

Li Yu originally thought that Xiao Yu would inspect his homework, but unexpectedly Xiao Yu would tell him stories.He originally thought that an old pedant like Xiao Yu would be very rigid and serious, but he didn't expect Xiao Yu to tell a very interesting story, and he listened with great interest.

When it was time for primary school, Xiao Yu personally sent Li Yu to find Li Zhi.

"Ninth brother." Li Yu ran over happily when he saw Li Zhi, "Ninth brother, I'm here to pick you up."

"Xiao Yu'er." Seeing Xiao Yu'er coming to pick him up, Li Zhi, the older brother, was very happy.

Besides Li Zhi, there are other princes studying in the "primary school".Li Yu greeted each other one by one.

Li Yu dragged Li Zhi to find Xiao Yu and thanked Xiao Yu.

"Mr. Xiao, have you been in elementary school recently?"

"The old minister will be in elementary school during this time."

"Then can I come to you in the future and continue to listen to your stories?" Mr. Xiao's stories are not only interesting, but also very meaningful, and he likes to listen to them very much.

When Xiao Yu heard Li Yu's words, she was a little surprised, and then smiled kindly: "Yes, the old minister will wait for His Royal Highness Rui Wang at any time."

Li Yu bowed to Xiao Yu to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao." After thanking him, he said again, "My brother Jiu and I will leave first, so we won't bother you."

"Your Highness, walk slowly."

Li Yu waved his hand at Xiao Yu, and then pulled Li Zhi away.

"Little Yu'er, why are you with Mr. Xiao?" In Li Zhi's eyes, Xiao Yu is a very serious old man, and he is very afraid of Xiao Yu.

"I came to pick you up, and then I was seen by Mr. Xiao." Li Yu shook Li Zhi's hand, "Mr. Xiao invited me to his office, invited me to drink water, eat snacks, and tell stories. Listen to me."

"Office?" After hearing Li Yu's words, Li Zhi had a surprised expression on his face, "Mr. Xiao invited you to drink tea and snacks, and also told you stories?"

"The office is where Mr. Xiao handles official business." Li Yu said with a smile, "Yes, Mr. Xiao is very amiable, and the stories he tells are very nice. Let's go and listen to them next time."

"Really, Mr. Xiao looks very serious, just like Mr. Kong?" Li Zhi wondered if the Mr. Xiao he knew was the same person as the Mr. Xiao Yuer said?

"Your Mr. Kong is an old-fashioned old man." The man who taught Li Zhi was Kong Yingda, with a strict and serious personality, and a little pedantic and rigid.Li Yu is most afraid of such people, so every time he sees Kong Yingda, he stays away from him.

Hearing what Li Yu said about Kong Yingda, Li Zhi quickly raised his finger to his mouth: "Shhhh... Xiao Yuer, please keep your voice down, it will be over if Mr. Kong overhears you."

Seeing Li Zhi's frightened appearance, Li Yu couldn't help laughing at him: "Mr. Kong is not here, what are you afraid of?"

Li Zhi took Li Yu's hand and walked a few steps quickly. He was far away from the "elementary school" before he dared to say: "Of course I'm afraid. Mr. Kong is not only serious, but also very fierce. If I make a little mistake, It's not a palm, or it's a punishment for copying the book."

"Is it so cruel?" Li Yu was not afraid of being slapped on the palm, but he was afraid of being punished for writing.

Li Zhi nodded again and again: "It's fierce, you go ask the prince's brother, he was also slapped by Mr. Kong when he was a child." Kong Yingda was also the husband of Prince Li Chengqian when he was a child.

"Uh...you won't wait until I'm studying, and Mr. Kong will teach you, right?"

"It is very possible that Mr. Kong is responsible for teaching the prince."

Li Yu: "..."

Seeing Li Yu's bitter face, Li Zhi quickly comforted him: "Little Yu'er, don't be afraid, you still have two years to go to school."

"You're right, I still have two years." Li Yu thought that after two years, maybe Kong Yingda would no longer be the Pope's son, "Ninth Brother, isn't Mr. Xiao the prime minister? Why is he in your primary school?"

"Mr. Xiao also came a few days ago. I heard that Mr. Xiao was demoted by his father again."

"Really demoted again?" Li Yu remembered that Xiao Yu was demoted six times in the real history.What Comrade Lao Li is doing, demoting officials for a while, and reinstating other officials for a while.As a result, not long after the official was reinstated, he demoted him again, which seemed like a joke.

Li Zhi nodded again and again: "I heard that's the case."

"Mr. Xiao was relegated to elementary school because he wanted to be a teacher to teach you?"

Li Zhi shook his head lightly: "Mr. Xiao won't teach us."

"Then who should I teach?" In the "elementary school", there are only Brother Nine and Brother Ten, and there are no other people.

"I don't know, I haven't seen who Mr. Xiao teaches in the past few days."

"Since Mr. Xiao doesn't teach students, I will come to him to listen to stories when I have time." Although he only had contact with Xiao Yu for a while, Li Yu liked Xiao Yu very much.He found that Xiao Yu is not only kind and kind, but also very funny and humorous. The most important thing is that Xiao Yu has wisdom, open-mindedness, and transparency that transcend the world. It will benefit a lot from ending with such a person.

"Is Mr. Xiao's story so good?"

"It's more interesting than the story told by Mr. Storyteller. You'll know it after you listen to it."

"Okay, I'll go and listen with you then." Xiao Yu'er said that Mr. Xiao's storytelling is interesting, so it must be interesting. "By the way, why did you pick me up from school today?" Xiao Yu'er had never picked him up from school before.

"Let me borrow you to go out to play. I made an agreement with my mother. I want to go out of the palace for a few days, and my mother agreed." Li Yu said with a smile, "We are going out of the palace now, and then we will go outside Chang'an City to find pig."

"Looking for a pig?" Li Zhi was surprised when he heard this, "Little Yu'er, you really want to find a pig."

Li Yu nodded: "Of course, I didn't have time to look for pigs because of the carp restaurant. Now that I have time, of course I'm going to look for pigs."

"I thought you forgot about it, but I didn't expect you to remember it." For more than a month, Li Zhi saw that Li Yu hadn't mentioned the matter of looking for the pig, so he thought that Xiao Yu'er had stopped looking.

"How can I forget, I want to eat braised pork like crazy." Thinking of braised pork, Li Yu's mouth waters, "We have to find the pig quickly."

"it is good."

"It's getting late, Brother Ninth, let's hurry up." Li Yu dragged Li Zhi and ran around the palace.

When he ran to the gate of the palace, Li Zhi didn't see Jin Yang, so he asked strangely, "Mingda won't go together?"

"The main purpose of going out of the palace this time is to find pigs, so I won't take Mingda with me." Li Yu climbed into the carriage first, and then pulled Li Zhi into the carriage, "Brother Jiu, let's go to the carp restaurant for lunch first, and then go Outside Chang'an City."

"Just the two of us?"

"I'll call Brother Jing and the others."

Two quarters of an hour later, Li Yu and Li Zhi arrived at the Carp Restaurant, and saw that the halls on the first and second floors of the Carp Restaurant were full of people, and there were still many people queuing at the door.

Carp Small Restaurant has boxes, which are divided into four levels, Tian, ​​Di, Xuan, and Huang.The Tianzihao box is naturally the best and most expensive box, and within a few days after the carp restaurant opened, someone booked the Tianzihao box.The box of the local name was also occupied.No one has booked the boxes of the Xuan and Huang fonts yet, but every day someone comes to reserve them temporarily.

Li Yu and the others have a special box, this box does not have any name, it only entertains family members.

Let the buddy go to Changsun's mansion and call Changsun Jing and the others.After a while, Changsun Jing and the others came.

As soon as they saw Li Yu, Changsun Jing and the others couldn't wait to tell him about Cuju practice.They told Li Yu that they practiced Cuju every day for more than a month, not only played Cuju very well, but also memorized the rules by heart.They will no longer break the rules by playing cuju.

Hearing what Changsun Jing and the others said, Li Yu decided to hold a Cuju practice match in these two days, and he personally tested their practice results.If he practiced really well, as Changsun Jing and the others said, then he would organize a Cuju competition.

The author has something to say: Mr. Xiao Yu is online.

Carp: I want to eat braised pork, barbecue, boiled pork slices, pork ribs, pig's trotters, pig's brain...

Li Zhi: ┌(.Д.)┐
