North Street.

Hong Bin Building.

"Slow down, go a little further to the left, okay, okay..."

"Be careful not to break it! Go a little further to the right."

At the entrance of the building, several workers were stepping on ladders and fixing a large plaque above the three words "Hong Bin Building". On the plaque were written five large characters with gold edges.

The first floor in the world!

Zhu Yuanzhang did not break his promise, and within five days he sent someone to deliver the imperial plaque.

Hu Fei directed carefully, with a happy face.

With this imperial plaque, Hong Bin Tower is destined to be famous throughout history. This time, smoke is really rising from the ancestral grave.

"Master, I see that you care about this plaque very much. Why are you so nervous?"

Pei Jie stood aside, looking at Hu Fei who looked nervous, and finally couldn't help but ask.

“Do you know how much this plaque is worth?”

Hu Fei smiled and looked at the five words above his head.

"Can this plaque still be sold for money?"

Pei Jie asked in surprise.

He originally thought that this was just an ordinary plaque given by a diner with some status, but he didn't expect that the young master would take it so seriously.

"Not only is it valuable, I'm afraid that if I dare to sell it, no one may dare to buy it."

Hu Fei nodded and said seriously.

"ah?"

Pei Jie became even more confused.

"Do you know who the eighth master is who presented the plaque?"

Hu Fei asked slowly.

"I don't know, but he must be on duty in some yamen. Judging from the master's attitude towards him, he seems to be very respectful."

Pei Jie hesitated for a moment and said thoughtfully.

He remembered that the master had taught him a lesson because of the queue problem.

"How many people in this capital do you think can make that old man Hu Weiyong treat him with respect?"

Hu Fei continued to ask.

"like..."

"Could he be His Majesty!?"

Pei Jie thought for a moment, then suddenly said in horror, his expression instantly froze.

"Other than him, who else can make Hu Weiyong and I hug each other?"

A smile appeared on Hu Fei's lips and he nodded.

Pei Jie was completely stunned. He never imagined that the mighty Ming Emperor would come to Hongbin Tower for dinner.

And he actually asked the Ming Emperor to line up according to the rules! Isn’t that asking for death?!

Thinking of this, Pei Jie's face instantly turned pale, and his legs couldn't help but tremble a little.

"Bless yourself. I hope your majesty can forget what happened that day."

Hu Fei looked at Pei Jie, patted his shoulder, sighed and said. After speaking, he glanced at the plaque above his head with satisfaction and walked inside with a smile.

"Master...Master, Master...Master!"

"You have to save your subordinates!"

When Pei Jie heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly followed Hu Fei, almost pleading.

The story of Zhu Yuanzhang's gift of the plaque soon spread among the capital, and everyone in the streets knew about it, which once again made Hong Binlou's business boom.

Of course, this news was released by Hu Fei himself, and he would not miss any publicity opportunity.

...

Hu Fei expected the success of Hongbinlou and Zihaiguo, but he did not expect it to become so popular.

But soon Hu Fei realized that the people who came to Hongbin Building to taste the delicious food and buy the self-heating pot were either noble princes or nobles, or some prominent figures, while the ordinary people living at the bottom could only count on their fingers.

Count because they have no money.

Hu Fei, who discovered this, couldn't help but feel a little guilty, because a large part of the reason why his propaganda was so effective was because of word of mouth among the people living at the bottom.

So Hu Fei once again spent all day in the backyard of Hong Bin Building, vowing to develop a delicacy that everyone could afford and eat, and he would give some feedback to those people.

Half a month later, an instant noodle called Jingshi Xiaomian finally came out, priced at only two yuan.

Once this scene appeared, it once again became famous in the capital, and the front door of Hongbin Tower was once again crowded with people, and finally the figures of ordinary people were seen.

...

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the city has been very lively recently, and it seems to be related to Hong Bin Tower?"

Pang Yuhai looked at Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the dragon couch and asked curiously.

"Hmph, it does happen."

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said slowly.

"What's going on? Has Mr. Hu come up with some new tricks?"

Pang Yuhai asked impatiently.

"That's right, I did despise this Hu Fei before. Maybe it's not just me, but everyone in the capital has despised him."

"He actually thought that the ordinary people in the city could not afford to go to Hongbin Tower or eat Changsheng Guo, and then personally developed a snack called Jingshi Noodles for ordinary people. I was really impressed."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said with emotion.

"Jingshi Xiaomian? It sounds like this is a type of pasta?"

Pang Yuhai couldn't help but ask, the greedy thing in his stomach was aroused again.

"That's right, this noodle is only about the size of two palms. It can be eaten directly, soaked in boiling water or cooked in a pot. It contains spices and can be eaten after adding it."

Zhu Yuanzhang explained with a smile.

"It seems that Mr. Hu has some extraordinary talents in the business world after all. These events have shocked the eyes of many people."

Pang Yuhai couldn't help but praise after hearing this.

"Huh? I rarely hear you take the initiative to praise others. It seems that you have a good impression of this Hu Fei?"

"It's a pity that the merchant's talents are reduced to inferiors. If he had some good talents in other areas, he might not be reduced to this, making everyone think that he is the number one dude in the capital.

Pity."

Zhu Yuanzhang teased Pang Yuhai, then sighed and said.

"To be valued so much by His Majesty, I think he won't be any worse. Perhaps, we can see his talents in other aspects in the future. After all, his talents in the business world are beyond the expectation of many people."

."

Pang Yuhai thought for a while and said slowly.

"Haha, that makes sense. Let's wait and see. I hope he can surprise me again."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said thoughtfully.

...

North Street.

Hong Bin Building.

"Master, are you awake?"

Outside the door, Pei Jie's voice faintly reached Hu Fei's ears.

"What's up?"

Hu Fei struggled to open his eyes and asked in a daze.

Because Hu Fei had spent a lot of energy developing instant noodles behind closed doors a few days ago, he had been hiding in his room during the day recently to catch up on his sleep.

"Reporting to the young master, Mr. Tang Duotang, the Minister of War, has arrived and is asking to see the young master in the hall."

Pei Jie stood at the door and said respectfully.

"Let him in."
