[Qing] Tuan's favorite gluttonous little prince

Sure enough, as Kangxi expected, as soon as he arrived at Kunning Palace, the queen greeted him warmly, greeted him warmly, and brought tea and water himself.

Kangxi took her shoulder-beating hand for him, "Minmin, if you have something to say, just say it, it's strange...infiltrating."

"Ahem," Xiu Min's ears turned slightly red, in fact, she couldn't do such a flattering thing, "Okay."

She took out a contract, which was a contract for the investment and dividends of the Yinqi milk tea shop. It stated that Kangxi would get 500% of the dividends of the milk tea shop as long as he invested [-] taels.

Kangxi raised his eyebrows, "Is there such a good thing?"

Could it be that the milk tea shop can already foresee a future of losing money?

Seeing his expression of "Are you trying to trick me?", Xiu Min funnyly took out another contract, which was signed by the fourth elder brother Yinfeng on behalf of Yin Qi and Er Niang, the profit sharing contract of sour plum soup.

Kangxi took it and read it quickly, "Why show me this?"

It said that Yinqi provided the prescription, and he could share [-]% of Chang Hai's subsequent sales of sour plum soup.

But it is impossible for him to do business for Qi Er like Chang Hai did.

"Don't worry," Xiu Min took out another ledger, "This is a separate ledger for sour plum soup."

Kangxi took the account book, opened the cover, and his expression became surprised.

It's not that I saw the contents of the account books, but I found out that the account books of Chang Hai's family had already used the tables and Arabic numerals model promoted by the empress in the harem and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

This form has to be viewed from left to right. Kangxi used it very hard at first, but after reading it for more than half a year, I realized its benefits.

The data is clear, concise and efficient.

He browsed quickly, only to think that the business of this sour plum soup is really good in summer. Although the business was affected a few days after the earthquake, on the third and fourth days, the sales volume doubled compared to before.

Before the earthquake, tens of thousands of bowls of sour plum soup could always be sold every day, and even more after that.

Chang Hai of Chicken Thieves divided the sour plum soup into three grades according to the grade of ingredients, including five grades, twenty grades and fifty grades.

The best-selling ones were twenty cents, followed by fifty cents, and the worst-selling ones were five cents a bowl.

Kangxi couldn't help being surprised: "Why is the cheapest sour plum soup sold the least?"

Is it because everyone in the capital is already rich, beyond what he understands?

Xiu Min said, "Who told you to read that? It asked you to read the final summary table."

"Ah?" Kangxi scrolled to the end, and saw that Yinqi had shared a net profit of more than 2000 taels in just one month of June, and couldn't help but click his tongue.

He looked through the cost, sales, selling price, profit and other data before, and the abacus in his heart was rattling, and soon he came to the result: Sure enough, the average daily net profit was around 200 taels.

Yinqi only came up with a prescription in May, and has he been lying down and collecting money for the past three months?

Kangxi couldn't help wondering, if things go on like this, within a few years, Qi Er will be richer than him?

Kangxi looked at the deed that the queen gave him at the beginning, and asked suspiciously: "I can get 500% of the bonus as long as I pay [-] taels?"

Xiu Min: "Well, what does the Emperor think?"

500 taels, it's definitely not that Yinqi can't get it out. If you want to lure him into the group, don't you just want all kinds of convenience and benefits from him.

Kangxi looked at her with a half-smile, "I thought it was too little."

Xiu Min pretended not to understand, "The emperor wants to give more money, of course it would be best."

"I mean..."

"Ama Khan, Qi Er invites you to eat this!"

Yin Qi ran into the house bouncing around, followed by milk tea with a tray, put down a bowl of bird's nest on the small table next to Kangxi, and then backed away.

"Is this for me to eat?"

"It's Qi Er's gift to you!"

Kangxi: "..."

This is too stingy, there is still a [-]% bonus for the sweetness given by the queen.What is a bowl of bird's nest?The ingredients are still provided by the palace.

However, thinking that it was Qi Er who cooked it himself, he raised a lot of expectations.

The weather is getting cooler today, and the autumn wind is bleak. This bowl of bird's nest is steaming hot, and the soup is crystal clear. Red dates and wolfberries are dotted in it, which makes people feel very appetizing.

Smell it, it is also sweet and tangy, sweet to the heart.

Kangxi smiled and picked up the soup bowl, took a spoonful, blew on it and put it into his mouth.

In the next second, his complexion changed dramatically, no matter how elegant he was, he couldn't help spitting what was in his mouth back into the bowl, yue~

Kangxi poohed several times.

Seeing this, Xiu Min hurriedly called for someone to bring him some tea to rinse his mouth, and then asked: "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Seeing that Kangxi was speechless, he asked Yinqi again: "What are you doing?"

Yin Qi tilted his head innocently, "Emiang, didn't you say that you want to 'sweet death' Khan Ama?"

Xiumin: "???"

Xiu Min: "..."

"The 'sweetness' that Er Niang said refers to benefits!"

At this moment, Xiu Min felt very sympathetic to Kangxi who kept gargling, "Haven't you apologized to you Khan Ama?"

Seeing Khan Ama's reaction, Yinqi already knew that the 'sweetness' was wrong, "Khan Ama, I'm sorry, Qi'er was wrong."

Kangxi drank two cups of strong tea, and it took him a while to recover. Looking at Yinqi, he really didn't know what to say for a while.

Xiu Min changed the subject, "Your Majesty, why don't you give me another [-]% profit?"

"Emiang?!" Yin Qi stared at Emiang with displeasure, he already knew what [-]% profit meant, one plus one equals two, and he was so unwilling to give away so much before the opening of the business.

But Xiu Min winked at him quietly, and said: "However, now that the lotus flowers in Shichahai have bloomed, there are fewer tourists, and the weather is getting cooler. Drinks are not as good as other foods that can be taken away. Maybe the [-]% profit is not much."

Kangxi: "So?"

Xiu Min: "So the emperor can also choose, no matter how much the profit is every month, he will get a bonus of 500 taels."

Kangxi pondered for a while, and then asked: "Why can sour plum soup sell more than 1 bowls, and how do others pack it?"

"Your Majesty, the Zhenpinxuan is close to Zhengyang Gate, at the junction of the inner city and the outer city. The traffic is already high. In addition to the products sold in the store, Chang Hai also asked the staff to carry the burden and walk around under the banner of Zhenpinxuan. They are sold on the street."

Guys beat each other with copper bowls, yelled and hawked, some people called home, some people drank from the guys' bowls on the street, and when the bowls accumulated to a certain amount, the guys went to wash them.

Kangxi was puzzled: "Can't milk tea shops do this?"

Yin Qi hurriedly replied: "No, Qi'er's restaurant must be upscale, at least mid-to-high-end food."

In fact, this is the requirement of the God of Cooking Assistance System for the future God of Cooking: you can’t walk around the streets to yell, but to be a legend that the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.

In the past, the recipe was given to others, and the system didn't care about it, but if the Master of Cooking trainee opens a store in person, he can't lower his status, otherwise, his training qualification will be cancelled.

"Forced?" Kangxi couldn't understand.

"It's just that the style should be high." Xiu Min explained with a smile.

Kangxi looked at Yinqi speechlessly. Although he had never done business before, he also knew that if the customer group and the bottom line of spending were set too high, it would depend on whether the rich and the rich would buy it or not?

"You have to do this?" Kangxi worried for him.

In fact, he didn't want Yinqi to be hit by failure when he tried to start his own business for the first time.

Yinqi is very firm: "Yes!"

"Do you need Khan Ama to write an inscription for you, and to praise you in court?"

"No, no, don't!" Yin Qilian waved his hands, his small eyes were clearly full of disgust!

Kangxi: "..."

He was really pessimistic, and even thought that charging Qi Er 500 taels a month might really accelerate the closure of the milk tea shop.

"Nahhan Ama, as long as the dividend is [-]%, it doesn't matter the profit or loss."

"No no no, Khan Ama, you want 500 taels!"

"Are you so confident?!" Kangxi really couldn't laugh or cry because of his ignorance.

"That's how confident I am!"

"Then buy it now, 1000 taels!"

Kangxi is not worried about speeding up the closure of the milk tea shop, it is better to close down as soon as possible, let the child take care of it, and it is better to do business when he grows up.

Now that he is so ignorant and confident that he doesn't need his protection, he will not be eaten by others until the time comes.

Yin Qi pursed his lips and thought for a long time before humming with his back crossed: "Okay, 1000 taels is 1000 taels! Er Niang helps Qi'er draft the contract again."

After Kangxi signed the contract, he was already thinking, if Qi Er's business fails, how can he comfort him?

Ama who is as good as he is, returning the money he got from him will definitely make him happy.

The deed was in triplicate, Kangxi and Yinqi signed it, and the witness queen signed it, and then stamped each person's seal, and kept one copy for each person.Yinqi didn't have a seal, so he pressed his fingerprints.

But he was not satisfied, "Emiang, can you make a seal for Qi Er? Qi Er wants to carve a small statue of Taotie, and use the most precious precious jade to carve it."

With such a loud tone, Xiu Min couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling.

"Glutton?" Kangxi was puzzled. "Glutton is a vicious beast with an ugly appearance. It is said that it is so gluttonous that it eats its own body. It is not a good omen because of its insatiable greed. Why not carve an auspicious beast Pixiu?"

"Khan, Ah, Ma!"

Yin Qi put his hands on his hips and grumbled, looking very angry, "You are not allowed to slander Taotie!"

"Pfft~ slander?" Kangxi was poked at the point of laughter by his righteous indignation, and asked with a smile, "Are you talking about how I slandered it?"

Yinqi: "Don't laugh, this is very, very..."

Yinqi couldn't think of an adjective, Kangxi kindly helped him add, "Serious?"

Yin Qi frowned, "What kind of tree is Yan Shu? Oh, don't change the subject! This question is very serious!"

"Okay, serious." Kangxi poked Qi'er's chubby belly, suppressing a smile.After being kicked by the queen, he restrained his expression.

Yin Qi raised his chin, very arrogant: "Gluttony is the cutest beast in the world, it loves the most high-end food, beauties, and beautiful things. If it really eats its own body, how will it survive?"

Xiu Min felt that his righteous words were adorable, and she echoed with a smile: "Yes, are you a fool to say that it ate your own ancients?"

After finishing speaking, feeling wrong, she coughed and said to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, this concubine is talking about the ancients who misled future generations by nonsense, not about you."

Kangxi: "..."

You might as well not explain.

Yinqi went on to say: "It's not that Taotie is insatiable, it's just that he eats a lot, and he also has a habit of collecting and hoarding..."

Yinqi talked eloquently, and Xiaobai reminded: [Host, enough is enough, you can't say more, the emperor and empress are smart people, if you say anything else, you will be exposed. ]

So Yinqi took a deep breath, and under the curious gazes of Han Ama and Er Niang, he concluded: "In short, Taotie is cute! It looks good! It's good to be invincible!"

"All right, all right," Kangxi stopped teasing him when he saw his more serious appearance, "Just say what you say."

"That's about the same." Yin Qi's tone was very arrogant.

Xiu Min: "You like Taotie so much, I'll let craftsmen build it later."

Yinqi: "Do craftsmen know what Taotie looks like?"

The queen thought for a while and told him: "On the big cauldron used for sacrifices in the main hall of Kunning Palace, there are gluttonous patterns."

"Qi'er, go and have a look!" Yin Qi said, and ran away.

The empress looked at his lively back and smiled helplessly.

"This kid is too noisy."

"Yeah, you can talk too much, and the concubine is overwhelmed by him asking a hundred thousand why all day long."

Kangxi put away the contract, and finally remembered a question he had at the beginning, "By the way, Minmin, tell me why the cheapest sour plum soup is the worst seller?"

"There are two reasons. One is that the sour plum soup made with the cheapest medicinal materials can be easily imitated. Zhenpinxuan sells it for five yuan, while the imitation hawker sells it for three yuan and two yuan. The taste is not far behind. , ordinary people naturally choose cheap ones to buy.”

"Secondly," Xiu Min's eyes flashed a hint of cunning, "Because there are many 'big families' with swollen faces and fat people in the capital, even if the five-cent and twenty-cent sour plum soup tastes the same , and they don't allow themselves to drink the 'lowest' kind."

Kangxi was startled, "There are many such people?"

Xiu Min: "Your Majesty, you'll know just by looking at the data."

Kangxi looked through the account books again, and he was not so sure about Yinqi's business failure in his heart.

"Wow..." Yin Qi ran back crying.

"what happened?"

Yinqi hadn't cried much for a long time, Xiumin greeted him nervously, afraid that he might have fallen somewhere?

Kugai has tears and doesn't flick them lightly, but he hasn't reached the sad point!Yinqi didn't want to cry, but...

"That gluttonous pattern is really ugly!"

How could the world misunderstand him so much, he and his predecessors were born out of a sense of nature, to balance the various spirits of the human world, they are so good, but human beings are so ugly!

Kangxi couldn't figure out where he was crying, and asked, "Is this...frightened to cry by Taotie's ugliness?"

Khan Ama was slandering Taotie again, Yinqi was furious: "You still say, still say?!"

Xiu Min glared at Kangxi disapprovingly, then turned to Yinqi and said, "Okay, calm down, you Khan Ama teased you, that's not the Taotie pattern."

"Huh? Really?"

"Really." Xiu Min explained seriously, "That's actually the side profile of two symmetrical dragons, if you don't believe me, let's go and have a look."

Kangxi raised his eyebrows, and muttered: "A deer is a horse?"

"No, Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, go and see with my concubine."

Xiumin is not lying.

The first time there was a record of the "Taotie Bronze Ding", it was the ancients' own speculation based on the patterns of the unearthed cultural relics.

However, later archaeologists speculated that the so-called "taotie" pattern on the bronze tripod was most likely a combination of two dragons based on the totem worship of the ancients and the similar dragon patterns in ancient books.

As pointed out by Xiu Minyi, the more Kangxi looked at it, the more he felt that the lines looked like two dragons, especially the so-called 'gluttonous nose', which was actually a thin strip protruding from top to bottom, more like a dividing line than a nose.

Kangxi couldn't help asking: "What does the real Taotie look like?" He even wanted to ask, could Taotie also be imagined?

Yin Qi categorically said: "It's just cute!"

Kangxi swallowed the question, this kind of question was not important to him, he decided not to be serious with Yinqi, he said what he said.

When Kangxi returned to Qianqing Palace, Xiu Min asked Yinqi: "Qi Er has seen Taotie?"

Xiaobai alarmed: [The host, said that you have never seen it, only the image. ]

Xiaobai's alarm beeped, and Yinqi didn't fight her, just followed suit.

Fortunately, Er Niang didn't ask any further questions, but only said: "Then Qi'er draws the gluttonous gluttony himself, and Er Niang asks the craftsman to create a seal for you."

"Okay, thank you, mother-in-law!"

……

It is even more convenient for Yinqi to go out of the palace to open a milk tea shop after successfully winning Khan Ama's joining.

The next day, he brought milk tea and applied to leave the palace to train the shop assistants.

Kangxi was very worried about his safety, "Can't you let the pot of tea and pears around you go?"

"It's milk tea and fragrant pears!" Yin Qi corrected, and explained: "Today, Qi Er will go and see for herself, and let the milk tea go later."

He didn't want to be so tired, he was still a child.

"Okay." Kangxi sent two guards with the strongest martial arts around him, and asked them to bring a small team of hidden guards to protect Yinqi.

The [-] guys in the milk tea shop were all bound by Yin Qi to the God of Cooking training system. He wrote down the first [-] main tasks on paper and asked them to complete them in strict order. Many even wrote down the methods in great detail.

But unfortunately, only the seven guys did it in order. Some skipped tasks, some were perfunctory, and some were not in order.

Yinqi came to the store and regretfully told the eight disobedient ones, "In my store, there is no need for slaves who deceive others."

With that said, let someone take them to Zhuangzi.

Those eight people were horrified and regretful, so how could they be found out for such surreptitious stealing and cheating?The person behind this little master is so powerful that he can't be provoked, really can't be provoked!

Standing next to the little master were two tall and strong men, holding their contracts of sale. These men did not dare to be presumptuous, and lowered their posture to sincerely beg for mercy.

It's not that Yinqi doesn't give the opportunity, "It's still the one hundred tasks. If someone can complete each task three times in strict order within ten days, I can still get you back."

Do it three times to prevent someone from failing once.These people went to Zhuangzi, needed to work, and had to do three missions within ten days. The time was bound to be very tight. Yinqi wanted to be so strict and select people who sincerely repented and passed the cooking skills.

"Thank you master for your kindness, thank you master for your kindness!" The eight people were grateful and were taken away by the steward.

Although the remaining seven people stayed, they were inexplicably in awe of the little master.

Yinqi introduced milk tea to them, "This is your master. Before opening the store, she will guide you in making drinks, snacks and cakes. After that, I will come to personally assess you. Only those who pass the skills can work in the store."

"Thank you, master! Thank you, master, for teaching!" The seven people knelt down and saluted the two of them.

In this era, culinary skills are the same as medical skills. Generally, they are only passed on to the inside and not to the outside, or even passed on to men and not to women. It is really a great kindness to be able to teach others what you are good at, or to be a slave.

Like the young master Yinqi, he was already like a prince of aristocratic family by exempting everyone from courtesy, which made the milk tea and the guards secretly laugh and admire him from the bottom of their hearts.

After letting the milk tea stay to teach others, Yin Qi went out for a stroll.

There are quite a lot of teahouses here in Shichahai, but they are basically built with pergolas.After the earthquake, more than half of them collapsed and were not rebuilt.

Yinqi came to the place where he was fancy last time to gather the energy of money, and found that the 'gold energy' here is more intense now.

He walked around in a circle, measured the place where he could see the aura of money with his feet, and said to the guard: "Help me draw this piece of land, from now on, it will be mine."

Two guards: "..."

"What's the matter?" Yin Qi saw that guard A and guard B had weird faces, and immediately exerted his thirst for knowledge.

Yinqi couldn't remember their names, so he unilaterally divided them into 'Guard A' and 'Guard B'.

"Fifth elder brother," Guard A whispered, "As early as ten years ago, the emperor forbade the rich and powerful to enclose land."

"What is an enclosure?"

"The enclosure is..." Guard A explained cautiously.

But he didn't know, he answered a question, and there are [-] whys waiting for the two of them.If they answered briefly, they would not be able to answer, and if they answered too detailedly, they would ask more questions.

In the end, both guard A and guard B explained until their throats smoked, and Yin Qi just let out an 'oh' lightly.

"You guys misunderstood. I want my uncle to buy it for me, not occupy it. The owner of this land has already agreed to sell it."

Guard A: "..."

Guard B: "..."

They shouldn't talk too much!

Understood, they will understand in the future, serving the fifth elder brother, silence is golden.

"Now, can you draw the map for me?"

"Follow your orders!"

Yinqi watched them draw a simple map, and was finally satisfied, "Okay, now take me to a fun place."

Guard A: "Fifth Brother, it's getting late, it's time to go back to the palace."

The emperor told him that he would take the fifth elder brother back to the palace after finishing the official business.

Yinqi: "Why?"

As soon as these three words came out, the heads of the two guards grew bigger.

Guard B cleverly said: "Then, can we just go to one place?"

"Okay!" Yin Qi is not greedy, and after playing for another hour, it will be time for him to take a nap or meditate.

As for taking a nap or practicing, it depends on his mood.

The guards took Yinqi to take a boat on the lake, visited the whole Shichahai, bought a lot of food along the way, and did not return to the palace until the end of noon.

The two guards returned to the palace and handed Fifth Prince over to the Queen before they let out a heavy breath.

The two looked at each other and smiled wryly.The errands of protecting the fifth elder brother are really more tiring than their secret missions!

Yin Qi returned to Kunning Palace and went to say hello to Er Niang, and saw Concubine Xi crying in front of Er Niang, who had a speechless expression.

"My mother, what happened to her?"

Yin Qi asked in a low voice, and Xiu Min also told him in a low voice: "Master Wu Ya is also pregnant." Not long after Ji Yi concubine became pregnant.

Yinqi panicked: "Did she do it? Then you don't want to admit it?"

"Puchi..." Xiu Min couldn't hold back, after laughing, she remembered that Concubine Xi was crying, so she quickly held back, "No, don't talk nonsense."

This is Laner's words, have you heard too much?Let Laner write more positive energy suitable for children next time.

"Why is that?"

Xiu Min couldn't say that Concubine Xi came to ask her to 'persuade the emperor to enjoy the rain and dew'?

"If you are concerned, ask yourself."

What Xiu Min thought was that Yin Qi had never liked Concubine Xi, so he should have lost interest for a long time.

But she didn't know, what Yin Qi thought was: After all, there was an 'employment' relationship, and the last time he accompanied Han Ama on tour, he received a large amount of gold and silver from Concubine Xi.

Therefore, Yinqi nodded obediently, "I'll take care of it."

Xiumin: "???"

"Liangliang, what's the matter with you? Didn't you have lunch at noon?"

The queen and concubine Xi were taken aback, what kind of concern is this?

Concubine Xi looked at Yinqi, and saw him asking sincerely: "Otherwise, why are you crying so softly?"

------

'Concern' from the fifth elder brother: Are you not full?Come on, cry louder!
