[Qing] Tuan's favorite gluttonous little prince

The first Kitchen God School opened in the suburbs of Beijing. When recruiting apprentices on the first day, tens of thousands of people came from the capital alone.

Yinqi Weifu personally became the 'interviewer', just one scan by the chef, and everyone's primary panel was displayed above everyone's head.

As a glutton, Yinqi looked down on all sentient beings, and with just a glance, he found out all the people with a talent value above 50.

There are only a dozen people.

Yinqi asked his followers to find out all these people, recruit them directly, exempt tuition fees, and enter the special training class, where they will be taught by Master Qi and Qiuqiu.

He didn't care about the remaining thousand apprentices, and only let the people below try their skills.

Although the talents of apprentices recruited in the end may vary, he never denies those who are willing to work hard to make up for their shortcomings, and the stupid birds fly first.

The Cooking God School opened smoothly.

What the queen didn't expect was that Yinqi became unpopular in the 'blind date market' because of this.

Obviously, the wives of the aristocratic families who claim to be noble all feel that Yin Qi's move is too out of place.

Xiu Min smiled at the perfunctory wives and said nothing, anyway, she and the emperor are not in a hurry now.

But will hold grudges.

Those who dare to look down on her family, Qi'er, will not even think about marrying the royal family in the future.

In the winter of the same year, Yinqi opened the first Taotie hot pot restaurant in Beijing.

Yinqi's first rule for the hot pot restaurant is to uphold his consistent principles: "Limited sales, three hundred pots a day, eat or not eat as you like."

The guys raised their arms with joy and shouted: "Master is wise!"

It is sold in limited quantities, it will be closed when sold out, and the rest of the time can be used to learn art. They really follow a good master.

On the opening day of the hot pot restaurant, the fragrance of the ten miles, the delicacy of the fairy delicacy was passed on from word of mouth among the people, and the business was booming day by day.

Although all the officials of the court dared not join the fifth elder brother Yinqi again, they all shook their heads in unison when talking about this matter in private: not doing their job properly, and losing their dignity!

It's just that they gradually discovered that whenever they pass by Taotie hotpot restaurant, they can see at least hundreds of people queuing up outside the restaurant.

This winter, eating hot pot has become the most fashionable activity in the capital. When chatting with people on weekdays, if you have never eaten hot pot at Taotie Hot Pot Restaurant, you will be praised twice and highly praised.

Even the gourmet column of the "Beijing Weekly" often publishes articles about hot pot tasting by great Confucians.

Some officials who originally scoffed at the opening of the fifth elder brother's shop were moved by the people around them. In the severe winter, they also wanted to taste one or two quietly.

Unexpectedly, due to too many people queuing up, the trip could not be made for a while.

Want to take advantage of your privileged status to jump in line or make an appointment?

I'm sorry, but the status of the host family is more noble. Everyone vaguely heard that the emperor intends to directly confer the status of a county king on the fifth elder brother.

The future king of the county, the most favored prince in front of the emperor, he set the rules to give no privileges or not, and everyone had to line up obediently.

Seeing the hot pot restaurant business booming, there are many hot pot restaurants in the capital following the trend. However, the taste of those restaurants cannot be compared with the gluttonous hot pot restaurants. Basically, they are short-lived and quickly closed down. At a low price to attract customers.

Many people can't get in line for the Taotie hot pot restaurant, and try the new restaurant only after the next best thing, but they are only disappointed.

It wasn't until the Queen's Thousand Autumn Festival this year that many officials had the famous gluttonous hot pot in the capital at the birthday banquet.

At the banquet, the spicy and spicy golden red hot pot completely conquered everyone's taste buds.

The hot pot scalded all kinds of tender and smooth meat slices, crisp and spicy vegetables, all of which were sweating profusely, and the mouth was full of hustle, and I couldn't bear to stop.

Cool!Just one word.

After that day, no one questioned the fifth elder brother's opening of the hot pot restaurant anymore, and even thought of the gluttonous restaurant, everyone secretly thought in their hearts, fortunately, fifth elder brother, otherwise how would they have the opportunity to eat this in this life? as delicious?

In the past, they were narrow-minded.

But what makes their faces full of enthusiasm is that after the Qianqiu Festival, they still can't eat gluttonous hot pot, and the children are crying!

When will the branch open?I want to be able to eat a hot pot every day...

Mingzhu is a very business-minded person, he wanted to cooperate with Yinqi very early on, but he offended Yinqi when he was a child.Over the years, I went to talk to Yinqi several times about opening branches of 'Xianpinju' and Taotielou, but the other party refused.

This time, he saw Yinqi's future plans from the Cooking God School and the hot pot restaurant, and felt that the opportunity had come.

Facing Mingzhu, who came to discuss cooperation in private for the nth time, Yin Qi really let go: "I do have the idea of ​​opening a branch, and open the branch throughout the Qing Dynasty. I can't do this with my strength, and I really need to find someone Collaborate with skill.”

"Isn't that just right?!" Mingzhu slapped her thigh, "My brother has money, shops and people everywhere, you have recipes and cooks, isn't this a 'match made in heaven'?"

Officials are not allowed to do business, and his Nalan family is certainly not Mingzhu himself.

Yinqi laughed and said, "But I'm afraid that civil and military officials will come to join me again."

Mingzhu coughed twice guiltily.

At the beginning, there were people who participated in the fifth prince, and he also secretly contributed to the flames - as long as it could add trouble to the prince, he would be happy to see it succeed.

"Fifth elder brother was joking, now all the officials are full of praise for your gluttonous hot pot!" Mingzhu said.

"Really? I don't believe it." Yinqi smiled.

Mingzhu choked.

Yinqi said again: "I still don't feel at ease about cooperating with Master Mingzhu's clan brother, unless..."

Mingzhu: "Say it!"

Yinqi: "Unless Ama Khan agrees, this matter will be handled by the omnipotent Master Mingzhu himself."

Mingzhu subconsciously wanted to say, how is this possible? !

But seeing the expression of the 12-year-old fifth elder brother who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he paused and thought carefully: "Please let me think about it..."

Although the imperial court ordered that officials be prohibited from doing business... But what if this is not just about doing business?

He once heard the emperor talking and laughing with Suo'etu, and the fifth elder brother told the emperor that his ambition was to spread the food culture of the Qing Dynasty to the whole world...

After a few days of interviews between the two.

Mingzhu handed over a brochure in the court hall, talking about the promotion of food culture with gorgeous words and brilliant writing skills, and the benefits of food culture exchanges between the North and the South.

All the officials are confused: Food culture promotion?What the hell? !

Haven't heard anything lately? !

After seeing the interested expression of Long Live God on the dragon seat, everyone thought again: Master Mingzhu deserves to be my "Kaleidoscope", the sense of smell is much more sensitive than ordinary people!

Convinced!

But then, when Master Mingzhu recommended himself as the "Food Culture Promotion Envoy" and was willing to use the gluttonous hot pot restaurant as an attempt to promote the hot pot food culture in the Qing Dynasty, everyone was dumbfounded again.

What the hell?Turning around and bragging for a long time, just to tell the Lord Long Live that he wants to open a hot pot restaurant with the fifth elder brother? ? ?

This move can be described as shocking the ruling and opposition parties!

It has long been heard that the masters of the entire palace are obsessed with delicious food. Now, is this all brought out in the open through the mouth of Master Mingzhu?

But when everyone thought about it, and looked at the expression of Long Live Lord, many people turned around again:

Good guy, if you can snatch the opportunity to cooperate with the fifth prince to open a store, as well as the court's help... such a good thing, how can Mingzhu get it alone? !

Many people are not calm.

Suo'etu was the first to stand up and express his disapproval: "I would like to tell the Lord Long Live, Mr. Mingzhu, who is as gentle as the wind and the moon, is not suitable for handling such mundane matters. I am willing to share the worries of the Lord Long Live."

Immediately afterwards, more court officials stood up and said in unison: "I am willing to share the worries of the emperor!"

Kangxi watched everyone scrambling for the first place with great interest, pointed out a dozen of them, and said slowly: "I remember, you said before that the fifth elder brother is a dignified prince, how can he be reduced to a cook?"

The dozen or so people were terrified and embarrassed. They never expected that after such a long time, the emperor would remember it clearly, "I'm stupid!"

One of them was quite astute: "How can a dignified prince be reduced to a cook? Therefore, the humble ministers are willing to do the hard work of opening a hot pot restaurant."

Kangxi sneered, thinking well, those who dared to play Qi Er before had no chance.

Asked again: "All the ministers and workers think that 'food promotion' is feasible?"

All the ministers chattered and said, "Your Majesty, food is the most important thing for the people, so I think it is feasible!"

The prince has been watching silently, and finally convinced, Qier is really good at opening a hot pot branch so...beautiful!

All officials wanted the job of 'promotion envoy'.

Some of them are for money, some are for power, and some even just want to be able to get convenience, get prescriptions, and eat authentic spicy hot pot at home!

Kangxi pondered for a moment, but said that the fifth elder brother had to decide who to entrust this job to.

Yinqi was naturally prepared for this situation.

In the early morning of the next day, Kangxi posed a question for him to the officials: "Zhang San bought a chicken for 110 Wen, and sold it to Li Si for 120 Wen. Wen sold it to Wang Wu and asked: How much did Zhang San earn?"

At the same time, Yinti, Yinchan, Yinreng, and Yinzhi also got this question.

Everyone has been doing arithmetic since elementary school, and quickly figured out the answer, almost saying in unison: "I earned twenty coins!"

"Hey..." Yin Qi sighed leisurely, looked at the group of brothers, "It seems that you all have no business sense."

Brothers: "???"

What's wrong?
