Chapter 66: Li Shimin and Concubine Yang are also here
For a whole day, the business on the first floor in the world had almost no time to relax.
Basically, as soon as a table of guests leaves, someone else will sit down immediately.
At the busiest time, there was barely anyone queuing up.
And they prepared quite a lot of ingredients in advance, but at the end of the day, it was still not enough.
Fortunately, shopkeeper Zhang was alert and discovered something was wrong at noon, so he immediately sent someone to buy it, so that it would be enough for the afternoon.
All the clerks in the store were very busy.
Although the shopkeeper only pays the bills, he is no easier than others.
Because there are many customers, there are also many accounts that need to be recorded, and over-calculation and under-calculation are troublesome.
The shopkeeper was so anxious that he broke out in sweat.
Throughout the whole day, none of them had time to eat, so they could only eat a few pieces of saliva chicken each during their free time, or eat a leek box.
This day was really crazy busy.
Because of the luxurious decoration and perfect taste of the first floor in the world, many people applied for membership cards today.
More than 50 ordinary membership cards were issued in one day, 15 silver membership cards were issued, and even 5 gold membership cards were issued.
Fortunately, their new employer is generous and promises to triple today's wages.
Therefore, although everyone is so busy that they don't even have time to eat, they are still very motivated.
Fortunately, it was not until the evening, after the first prize was drawn, that the business in the store gradually calmed down, and the guys could take a breather.
At this moment, two extraordinary-looking customers, a man and a woman, walked in from outside the store. Behind them, there were six guards.
The waiter didn't dare to neglect and shouted quickly: "Guest officer, please come in!"
Li Min, who was sitting at the counter and lazily looking at the store, almost peeed when he saw this pair of men.
These two people are surprisingly the current emperor Li Shimin, and his mother-in-law Yang Fei.
I'm in trouble. Can anyone tell me why they are here?
This frightened Li Min so much that he quickly stepped forward to prepare for the ceremony.
However, he was stopped by Li Shimin: "It's not convenient to talk here, so don't be polite and find a secluded place to talk."
Li Min nodded quickly, led the two of them to a single room upstairs, and asked people to prepare wine and food, which were served immediately.
Considering that the waiter would be serving food later, Li Shimin did not directly reprimand Li Min, although his face was dark.
Not long after, the waiter brought the food and wine one by one.
After the food was served, Li Shimin couldn't help but twitch his index fingers when he smelled the mouth-watering aroma. He didn't bother to scold Li Min, and he and Concubine Yang started eating directly.
I couldn't stop eating after eating. I didn't put down my chopsticks reluctantly until I used up all the food and wine. Then I realized that I was full again.
Huh? Why do you use this word?
When was the last time you had too much food? By the way, the last time you had too much food seemed to be at the Emperor's birthday banquet, and it was also a thing invented by this kid.
When he thought of this, Li Shimin was immediately furious.
He couldn't help but pointed at Li Min's nose and scolded: "Good boy, do you still think of me in your eyes? What kind of MSG did you get last time? You should respect the Supreme Emperor first, and that's all! And now? You are tinkering.
You came up with more delicious food, and you actually hid it from me! If someone hadn’t reported it, you would still be keeping me in the dark! Say, if I and your mother and concubine hadn’t come in person, wouldn’t you have had any intention of showing filial piety?
Where are you and me?"
Um, it seems like you really forgot about this, right?
In the past, I worked hard to honor Li Shimin in the palace, all because I wanted to lift the confinement and move out of the palace as soon as possible.
Now that everything has come out, why is there any need for such strenuous filial piety?
Of course, Li Min just thought about this in his mind and never dared to say it out loud.
Li Min couldn't help but laugh and said: "Father, Emperor, Mother, Concubine, you have misunderstood Min'er. Min'er doesn't take you seriously, but Min'er takes you into his heart! In fact, Min'er is preparing to give you a gift.
Go inside the palace."
"Moreover, Min'er is also planning to teach the cooking methods to the royal chefs in the palace, so that my father can eat such exquisite dishes every time!"
Li Shimin curled his lips, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Concubine Yang said with a smile: "Zhen'er, it's rare for you to have such filial piety. You have really grown up."
Li Min suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but said to Li Shimin: "Father, Min'er thinks that we can encourage the people to raise pigs. Raising pigs will not delay the farming time and can also increase the people's income, which is a good thing for the people."
Li Shimin suddenly realized that Li Min could think of working for the welfare of the people, and he was quite pleased.
However, this matter is not as simple as he thought.
Li Shimin couldn't help but smile and said: "But I'm sorry, the taste of pork is average. Rich people don't eat it sparingly because they think it's cheap meat, but ordinary people can't afford it. If the people raise too many pigs, why won't they be able to sell them?
What to do?"
Li Min also smiled slightly, then pointed to the twice-cooked pork on the table and asked, "Excuse me, father, what do you think of the taste of this twice-cooked pork?"
Regarding this question, Li Shimin was puzzled at first, but soon remembered something, and couldn't help but ask: "Is this meat made of pork?"
Li Min nodded and said, "That's right. Does your father still think that pork tastes average?"
In an era when there was no cooking oil, everything was cooked in water, and there were no seasonings, the taste of pork was naturally not good.
But I believe that with the popularity of stir-fry dishes, the audience for pork will become wider and wider.
After hearing the news, Li Shimin couldn't help but said excitedly: "If pork can really taste like this, it would be a blessing indeed! Pork is so delicious, more and more people will eat it.
It will also encourage people to raise a large number of pigs, which can increase people’s income! Well, I will ask the officials to promote this matter!"
At this point, Li Shimin could no longer sit still and was going back to figure out how to arrange this matter.
Li Min sent Li Shimin all the way across the street before turning back.
Li Shimin, who was walking on the road, always felt that something was wrong, as if he had forgotten something.
After a while, Li Shimin finally remembered.
By the way, didn't I come here this time to scold this guy?
Now his reputation as a prodigal son has become a household name throughout Chang'an City. It's really embarrassing for me!
Why did I forget about this matter after arriving at the No. 1 building in the world and having a meal?
But, is Min'er really a playboy and spendthrift as rumored by the outside world?
However, the business of the No. 1 store in the world that he had just opened was booming, and he was making a lot of money every day.
When you first bought the restaurant, was it really a waste of money?
