Those things about the fourth master and his descendant Fujin

"From a small point of view, fourth master, you can buy some land to grow chili peppers." Li An said with deliberation.

"Buy land?" If you say you don't have business acumen, in Yinzhen's mind, buying and hoarding land is the work of a rich landlord, so what does it have to do with him.

Yinzhen knocked on the table unconsciously with his fingers, his head was running fast, and said, "Peppers can be grown anywhere, we just can seize the opportunity. This year it became popular, and many people will follow suit in the coming year. When the time comes, buy so many peppers." Aren't many lands deserted?"

"What the fourth master is thinking about is, but I think you can buy the wasteland around the capital. The current emperor is a good emperor who is rare in a thousand years. Under his rule, the Qing Dynasty will only become stronger and stronger. When the time comes, the capital will be There will be more and more people in the land, more and more rich, more people, the capital is not enough to live in, so it will naturally expand outward, when the land price rises, those people want to buy the land in your hands, you can sell it if you want, and if you don’t want to sell it If you keep yourself to build a garden to live in, or open up wasteland and let the tenant farmers plant it, you won’t be able to pay back anyway.”

Li An's words made Yinzhen's eyes brighten. As a reborn person, he knew that this was true. The urban construction of Beijing City is slowly developing, and the city of Beijing will only become bigger and bigger. A few days ago, Kangxi asked him to bring ink Yan went to the outskirts of Beijing to inspect the land in order to build a mansion for his brothers, Zhuangzi.

"Master, think about it again." Although he had made up his mind, Yin Zhen refused to admit it.

Li An answered yes and said nothing more.

"You go down first, don't forget to make a few dishes with chili, let Huang Ama try it too."

Li An should be, bowed and retreated.

After Li An left, Yinzhen hurried to look for Moyan. Judging from Li An's words today, it seemed that he had already stood by his side, and tied up the God of Wealth without much effort. Yinzhen was very happy A rare warmth exudes from top to bottom.

Hearing Yinzhen finish the conversation with Li An just now, Mo Yan said coldly, "You bought the land now, so when Huang Ama plots Zhuangzi for your brothers in the future, wouldn't he have to buy the land from you?"

Yinzhen shook his head and said, "There are a lot of wasteland in the suburbs, why bother to fight with Huang Ama, just avoid it, besides, I don't have so much money in my hands, so I can buy all those lands in the suburbs."

"It's up to you." After a pause, Mo Yan said again, "The silver is not enough, I still have 2 taels here."

"Let's talk about it, if it's really not possible, ask Huang Ama for it." Yinzhen was a little embarrassed. At first, he had the idea of ​​using Mo Yan as a dowry, but now that he thinks about it, he really shouldn't!So unmanly!

Yinzhen roughly drew out the floor plan of Beijing when he died in his previous life, and considered which piece of land he wanted to buy. At the same time, he also calculated the money in his hand. It has only been a few months since the rebuilding of the diner house, and the monthly profit can be as high as 1000. Two, there is no way, he is oriented towards low-to-medium consumption for ordinary people, and he requires high quality and low price. It is not bad to make a profit of 1000 taels a month.

Yinzhen tore up the drawings and went to find Kangxi.

Knowing that Yinzhen wants to buy land, Kangxi looked at Yinzhen again and again, and Yinzhen hurriedly explained his plan about chili peppers, so that Kangxi would not misunderstand anything.

"Is this chili really edible? Is it as good as you said?" Kangxi raised his eyebrows, somewhat disbelieving.

"Of course, if you give me ten more courages, I won't dare to lie to Huang Ama. I have already told Li An that you can have a meal made with chili at noon today."

Kangxi nodded noncommittally, and changed the subject to Yinzhen, "Fourth brother, why are you suddenly obsessed with doing business and making money?"

"Is there any harm in having too much money?" Yinzhen asked Kangxi back.

Kangxi choked for a moment. Of course, the more money the better, as the king of a country, especially the emperor who lived a hard life, Kangxi naturally understood how important money was.Thinking back when he conquered Wu Sangui, the military expenses were not enough, and Xiaozhuang led the women in the harem to donate silver and jewelry to cover military expenses. Looking back now, I still feel full of sadness.

"Okay, you can go ahead." Kangxi waved his hand, not wanting to ask, and then called Li Dequan to get the silver for Yinzhen. Tong Jia's dowry is very considerable, and Kangxi directly raised 20 taels to Yinzhen, so that He let go.

In fact, the land near the outskirts of Beijing has been divided up by the Eight Banners. If Yinzhen wants to buy unowned wasteland, he can only cross these lands and go far away. To cultivate.

While buying land, Yinzhen ordered people to go south to buy peppers and seeds in several provinces in the south. There are not many peppers in the capital, and not everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery of red peppers. In the future, diners will introduce peppers Meals, the daily consumption of chili will definitely not be less, and some should be reserved for Kangxi, who can’t eat alone, and some should be given to brothers and ministers who have made good friends, so that these nobles can understand the benefits of chili, and then they are willing to spend money to eat. eat.

Yinzhen's life was busy and fulfilling, and it was Kangxi's birthday in a blink of an eye. Kangxi lived comfortably in Changchun Garden, and he didn't want to go back to the palace, so he stayed in Changchun Garden to hold a banquet to celebrate.

Yinxiang, who hadn't seen him for a month, came, and what he gave to Kangxi was his own handwriting. The little elder brother has no money and no ability, so he can do it when he wants it.

Seeing Yinzhen, Yinxiang was very happy and followed Yinzhen every step of the way. Yinzhen smiled and asked Li An to make boiled fish for Yinxiang. Holding the chopsticks, he kept stuffing it into his mouth, his lips were hot and red, and he kept shouting that it was delicious.

Yinzhen touched his little head, and said, "You can't eat too much if you like it, because if you eat too much, you will get angry."

"I didn't say I would eat it every day." Yinxiang blinked his big bright eyes, and said, "I'll eat it once every two days, fourth brother, when I leave tomorrow, put your peppers in a sack for me. "

Mo Yan laughed softly, "Okay, don't talk about a sack, a car is fine."

"Restraint, it's not good for children to eat too much." Yinzhen rubbed the melon seeds on Yinxiang's head again, and said, "This chili is still a rare thing, and fourth brother doesn't have much here. I'll give you a few catties later."

Everyone used it for viewing. Yinzhen searched the capital for several days before he found two sacks. The peppers were less than he imagined. Yinzhen had to stop the experiments of the diners and chefs. Let's talk about it when the people who bought it from the south come back.

At Kangxi's birthday banquet, Li An showed off his unique skills by making a "Dragon Traveling Nine Heavens", kneading a lifelike flying dragon out of dough. Bean sprouts were pasted on the surface of the flying dragon, which looked radiant under the candlelight. Very beautiful and delicate.The idea of ​​his dish comes from "The Little Master of China". In "Little Master of China", the phoenix appears. What he cooks is a real dragon. It's really like shuttling through the white clouds, vividly.

When this dish was served, many people were stunned. Kangxi held the chopsticks and was reluctant to do it. It was so exquisite, like a work of art, he was really willing to destroy it.

This dish is ingenious, stunning in shape, simple in ingredients, and delicious in taste. Kangxi was full of praise. He was so happy that he rewarded Li An with 500 taels of silver for the first time, encouraging him to innovate more and make better and more exquisite meals. .

This Longyou Nine Heavens made Li An famous, and within a few days, all the nobles in the capital knew that there was another chef in the Imperial Dining Room, who was rewarded by Kangxi.

Li An became famous, but Yinzhen was not very happy. He was afraid that Kangxi would leave Li An in the imperial dining room with his mouth, and he would cry somewhere.

"Why are you so pushy!" Yinzhen slandered, wondering if a low profile is king!

Kangxi remembered Yinzhen's heartbroken expression when he called Li An over. He hadn't reached the point of competing with his son for the cook, and there were already enough chefs in the Imperial Dining Room, and Li An was no exception.

After Kangxi's birthday, the time came to mid-May, the weather became hot, and Kangxi couldn't sit still in the capital again, and wanted to go for a tour outside the Great Wall.Kangxi definitely has the qualifications to come on an instant trip. With one thought, he went back to the palace and made some preparations. He led a mighty army out of the capital, but Yinzhen couldn't follow him, so he stayed in the capital.

When Kangxi left, the whole palace became quite silent due to the lack of a master. Kangxi took away both the elder brother and the prince, and Yinzhen couldn't follow the prince to do business, so he went back to his study and taught Yinxiang every day. Cultivate and cultivate relationship with Moyan, go out of the palace from time to time to wander around, check the account books of diners' residences, and take a look at the newly bought land, living a very leisurely life.

Kangxi went on a tour outside the Great Wall, and Li An returned to the restaurant.One day, Yinzhen came back from outside the palace, carrying a food box in his hand, which contained a small plate of honey cake and a plate of egg rolls.

After Li An went back, he was promoted from a vegetable cutter to a chef in charge. Yinzhen also specially sent two servants to serve him. This is a private dish made by him, and he also added a few sweets. The egg roll and honey cake are the most popular among them. They taste good and the price is low. Not only ordinary people buy them, but also many dignitaries send people Go shopping, sweets, no matter in modern times or in the Qing Dynasty 300 years ago, have always been the favorites of women and children, and it is difficult to think of business.

Yinzhen brought the egg rolls and honey cakes from the food box to the table, and greeted Moyan to eat. Moyan put down the book in his hand, and got up from the couch. Seeing this, Yinzhen said casually, "Since you like reading, how about reading?" Can I get you a small study in the main courtyard?"

Mo Yan was taken aback, small study?In his previous life, only Nian Shi had this kind of treatment.

"Forget it, I just took a casual look." Mo Yan shook her head, rejecting Yin Zhen's kindness.

Yinzhen's eyes dimmed, alas, rebirth with memories, how difficult it is to reunite with a broken mirror, the King of Hades really gave him a difficult problem.

At this moment, there was a servant girl outside the door reporting that Mrs. Li had come and asked to see Mo Yan.

Mrs. Li is thinking about needlework recently. When she was in the boudoir, she mainly studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, four books and five classics, and her needlework was so-so, far behind other women in this era.Since the style of a talented woman in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can't get through, Li Shi plans to change the route, take a gentle and virtuous style, and make a pullover for Yinzhen and embroider a purse or something, which is also very good.

The main purpose of Li's visit this time is to ask Moyan about Yinzhen's height and size, and she plans to make a Xia Shan for Yinzhen.Of course, she also deliberately waited until Yinzhen came back to come here, so she could just take a look.

Mo Yan never made things difficult for Li Shi, she let Li Shi in.

After Mrs. Li came in, she saluted Moyan and Yinzhen, stood up with her head slightly lowered and her hands tied together, and explained the purpose of her visit in a soft voice. Moyan smiled when she heard the words, glanced at Yinzhen meaningfully, and then ordered people to go Get Lee's size.

While waiting, Mo Yan asked Li Shi to sit down, "Li Gege, this is the snack that my master brought back from outside the palace, you should try it too."

Li Shi wished to get closer to Yinzhen, she thanked her and sat down, when she saw the two plates of desserts on the table, she opened her mouth in surprise, this, this is something for later generations ah!
