Chapter 57 Open a cold drink shop

"Wen'er, please give me another portion of the ice cream." Li Yan thought of a way to help Qinghe and the others earn pocket money, but he did not say it directly, but instead ordered Wen'er.

"Sixth Brother, we are all begging you so much. Are you still in the mood to eat ice cream?" Li Zhi held Li Yan's thigh and said with his head raised, his face very dissatisfied, but the kid immediately shouted to Wen'er who had not yet walked away, "I want double portions!"

"Me~ so too!" When the two little girls who were pretending to be poor, they couldn't help it when they heard that they wanted to eat ice cream and shouted loudly.

"Okay, get up!" Li Yan shook his shoulders and found that Qinghe and Gao Yang were hugging him so tightly. He had no choice but to say again, "All of these big people, they are still playing rogues with Brother Six? Isn't it just to make some pocket money? I have come up with a solution!"

"Really~!" Gao Yang and Qinghe immediately jumped up happily when they heard this. They believed in their sixth brother's talent. Otherwise, how could they make things like Wuwang Zui and Cement?

"Brother Six, tell me quickly, how can I use to make money?" Li Zhi also stood up excitedly and asked with great anticipation.

"Do you remember the trick I taught you before lunch today?" Li Yan sat down and picked up the fruit and asked, and took it and took it.

"Remember, isn't it the one who made ice with saltpeter..." Qinghe replied with a puzzled look at first, but when he was halfway through his speech, he suddenly felt happy and shouted excitedly: "Ah! I understand, Brother Six, do you want us to sell ice?"

When Li Zhi and Gao Yang heard Qinghe's words, he also understood. In this hot weather, the ice used to cool down has always been a very precious thing. Even their father Li Shimin also used ice to reward ministers. Although they were princes and princesses, they still had limited ice on weekdays, and the quantity was not large. Generally, they only used it for consumption and cool down when the weather was particularly hot, but they would be gone after it was used up. If they used saltpeter to make ice for sale at this time, it would definitely attract countless people to grab it. After all, except for a few wealthy nobles, few families could dig a huge ice cellar to store ice.

However, Li Zhi was happy for a while and immediately thought of a question, so he asked, "Brother Six, your method is good, but this ice made from saltpeter cannot be eaten, otherwise, like me, I will definitely have diarrhea?"

"Idiot, you won't have someone design a mezzanine container. Put saltpeter and water in the mezzanine to cool it, put some clean water inside, and then just use the ice inside." Li Yan patted Li Zhi's head and scolded. When he first met Li Zhi, Li Yan still had the intention to please this brother who might be on the throne in the future. However, after getting along with him during this period, he now only regards Li Zhi as his younger brother, beating and scolding him when he should be beaten. This is the way for brothers to get along.

"Yes, why didn't I expect that Brother Six is ​​still smart!" Although he was touched by the head, Li Zhi still had a smile on his face. Compared to other brothers, Li Zhi still likes to be with Li Yan because he is very relaxed in front of him and does not have to care about any etiquette. Everyone plays and makes trouble and forgets their identity as the prince, like the brothers and sisters of ordinary families.

"In addition, there is another advantage in making ice in saltpeter, that is, after being used, it can be used repeatedly after drying, so the cost is extremely low. At that time, a price that most people can accept will definitely attract everyone." Li Yan had already thought of the cold drink shop in later generations. If there was a single one in Datang, the business would be absolutely booming.

At this time, Wen'er had already brought the ice cream. According to Li Zhi and the others' request, the three of them were double servings. The food was ahead, and Li Zhi and the others could no longer care about anything else. They would just grab it and eat it. Anyway, the whisker was not there, so there was no need to worry about her making trouble.

Li Yan took a few bites and stopped and said, "My plan is to ask you to pay for a cold drink shop. If you don't have money, it doesn't matter. Brother Liu, I can lend you some here first. The things you sell are cold drinks similar to this ice cream. The styles can be diverse. I believe that once launched, it will definitely attract many people to taste them."

"Sixth brother, I won't talk about the money for now, but if the store is opened, we will have no one?" Li Zhi suddenly thought of a key question. The people around them are all from the palace and they can't leave the palace at all, and it's even more impossible for them to help them manage the store?

"Zhinu, why are you so stupid? The solution was created by Brother Six. Will he let go?" Qinghe said with contempt.

"Haha, if you believe in Liu Brother, then you just pay the money. I'll help you with the rest. Then you can wait and count the money." When Li Yan said this, he secretly looked at Wang Xijun standing next to him. He was having a headache about how to deal with the maid who came to the door. Now he could just let her go to manage the ice drink shop, which was a killing two birds with one stone.

Wang Xijun was a little disappointed. She also saw the powerful profits contained in the making of saltpeter ice. She wanted to tell her father when she went back today and then promote it in her home's fairy tower, but she didn't expect that these princes and princesses would take the lead. After all, even if they knew how to make saltpeter ice, they would not dare to use it in the restaurant. After all, the other party is a noble prince and princess. Who dares to compete with them for business with them so unhappy?

Hearing Li Yan's promise, Li Zhi, Qinghe, Gao Yang and the other two were so excited that they almost jumped up. Now they didn't have to worry about not having enough pocket money. They didn't have to slap the swollen faces and pretend to be fat when rewarding the palace ladies. It would be a long time to feel distressed if they rewarded some money.

Next, the three little guys gathered together and discussed how many shares each person could produce. Although they had been crying in front of Li Yan just now, as princes and princesses, there was still some private money. In the end, the three of them took out a total of fifty taels of money, and the quantity was indeed a little less. They rented a small store, bought some store equipment, raw materials, etc., and also hired some people. The money was probably a little short. Even if Li Yan helped them make up for it, the final store would not be too large.

After listening to Li Yan's analysis, Qinghe, an ambitious little girl, was not satisfied with opening a small store. She persuaded Li Zhi and Gao Yang to agree to recruit more people to invest. Anyway, there are so many brothers and sisters in the palace, and the situation is the same as them. When they come to the palace, they will not be afraid that they will not fight to buy shares.

Li Yan also praised Qinghe's generous idea. Unexpectedly, this girl still has the talent for business. According to her method, she might really make some achievements.

The matter of opening a cold drink shop was decided like this. Then Li Yan accompanied them to play cards. He knew more than just Landlords. He was also a waste of time anyway, so he taught Li Zhi and the others all he could think of, so he made them have a lot of fun.

Maybe it was due to the weather. Yizi woke up after sleeping for about an hour. It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Li Yan said in the morning that he would prepare a rich supper for Yizi and the others. It was still late now. After all, they had to go back to the palace, so they asked what they wanted to eat?

"Sixth brother, we don't know much about the situation in your house. You can just prepare it. In the end, we can make some new and delicious dishes, just like the new dishes at the Five Kings Banquet!" Li Zhi thought for a while, and finally suggested with a smile that he liked the new dishes at the Five Kings Banquet. Li Yan also passed on the cooking method to the palace. However, after eating for so many days, even the novel dishes became less novel, so Li Zhi, who was fed up with the new, would make such a request.

"Zhi Nu is right, I think so too. Brother Six, don't let us down." Gao Yang also responded mischievously. Yizi was very well-behaved, but said in a slight voice: "Yizi listened to Liuzi, no matter what Liu brother did, I like to eat." As a result, Li Yan was very loving and swearing that he would satisfy his food.

"You two are really greedy. Those dishes can't be cooked just by wanting. I think the dishes are good at noon. Brother Liu, don't be too difficult." Qinghe is still older after all, and she knows more things than them. Moreover, she has learned cooking with her mother in the palace and knows that cooking is not as simple as ordinary people think.

"Haha, Qinghe is still sensible!" Li Yan put down his wicked slap and patted Qinghe's shoulder and smiled, but then said to Li Zhi and Gao Yang, "It's not impossible for you to eat novel dishes, but I want to go to the kitchen to see what ingredients are there, and then let the chefs in the house make some new dishes for you to eat."

"Hey~, Brother Six? You can cook?" Qinghe asked in surprise. Although Li Yan made steamed eggs for Yizi at the last time at the Five Kings Banquet, the recipe was very simple and nothing at all. Although the dishes at the Five Kings Banquet were invented under the guidance of Li Yan, very few people knew about them. Most people only think that the chef of the Liang Palace is smart, and no one would have thought that those dishes were invented by the dignified King of Liang, so Qinghe asked this question.

"Haha, I don't know how to cook, but I can guide others to cook." Li Yan smiled. He only liked to taste delicious food in his previous life, but he didn't know how to cook at all. He only knew the general way to cook each dish. If there was no good chef to help him, he would definitely not be able to make those delicious dishes.

"Okay, you guys take Yizi here for a while, I'll go to the kitchen." Li Yan touched Yizi's little face, looked up and said to Qinghe and the others.

"Sixth brother, it's so boring for us to stay here. Why don't we all accompany you to let us open our eyes and see how the food in the Liang Palace is made?" Qinghe said excitedly. She was the drunkard and was not drinking. She planned to take this opportunity to learn two tricks. After all, for girls in the Tang Dynasty, cooking is also one of the must-learn courses, and even a princess is no exception.

"I agree, let's go together!" Gao Yang's girl was also very interested, let alone Yizi. Children like to join in the fun the most. Only Li Zhi was deeply poisoned by the "Gentleman Far Chef" and seemed a little hesitant for a while, but in the end he could not resist the threats of the two sisters and Yizi's begging, and nodded in agreement.

Since they wanted to go, Li Yan would not stop him, and there was nothing invisible to see anyone anyway. So he took four little guys through several courtyards and finally came to the yard where the kitchen of the palace was located. The kitchen of the Liang Palace was divided into two parts. The smaller one on the right was a high-end kitchen, which was specially designed for Li Yan, the Liang Palace, and some important managers in the mansion. The large kitchen on the left was a place for servants to eat.

Li Yan took them directly into the kitchen on the right, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he entered the yard, he saw Lao Wu, the manager in the kitchen, sharpening the knife with someone. What he was sharpening was not a kitchen knife used in the kitchen, but a kind of sharp knife. This surprised Li Yan. Could these chefs be rebelled?
