The business of the hot pot restaurant is extremely booming.

The free loss amount on the first day caused by the riot in the Su family was quickly doubled.

Nowadays, the seats are packed every day, and the private rooms upstairs must be reserved two days in advance.The daily net profit of the three buildings after deducting all costs is thousands of taels of silver.

People in Yundu really love spicy food, and many aristocratic families openly claim to be addicted to spicy hotpot.

Some of the second-generation ancestors, old men and gamblers who went to brothels and gambling houses after work, many of them also changed their entertainment positions and went to hot pot restaurants. They found that eating super spicy hot pot can also bring them happiness. Come to unexpected pleasure.

The young emperor even paid a private visit incognito and ran out of the palace himself.

After eating, he wiped his mouth and sighed to the eunuch beside him: "Wei Banban, the imperial sister invented such a delicious thing, but she didn't even bring it to the palace. Instead, she invited me to eat it, and I even ran out to eat it myself. .”

Does she not have me in her heart?

Wei Xianggao knew the emperor's thoughts, so he comforted her with words: "Her Royal Highness the Princess has sworn loyalty to you. You must be the first in her heart. The regent will have to stand in the back row."

These words were very useful to Xie Xuanchen.

Even though I know it's fake, it's like a spiritual opium.

He picked up a piece of candy from the snack plate and tore off the soft porcelain-like plastic wrapper: "This piece of candy is so white! There are so many good things in Sister Huang's shop. It's really boring for me to be the emperor. Why? It’s better to live in Sister Huang’s hotpot restaurant.”

I took a bite of the white fruit hard candy and it was extremely delicious.

After a while, the waiter pushed in the door and served several special dishes.

In the hotpot restaurant, you can also order dishes, with twenty dishes to choose from.Basically, they are all sweet and spicy cuisine, which you can never eat outside.

Sweet and sour pork ribs, white sugar tomatoes, spicy chicken, sweet and sour tile fish, white sugar steamed cake.

Xie Xuanchen swallowed. Although he came from a declining clan, his parents died early when he was a child, and his life was miserable. He even begged for food at one point, so he had a special love for sweet foods rich in energy.

He picked up a piece of white sugar steamed cake and took a bite. It was soft, glutinous and sweet: "It's delicious, very chewy! It tastes better than the old-fashioned snacks made in the imperial kitchen!"

"If your Majesty likes it, please ask the eldest princess to come to the palace and teach the imperial kitchen how to make steamed cakes, and make them for you to eat every day."

"Hey, it's a pity that the imperial sister hasn't made a special trip to visit me in the palace for a long time."

Xie Xuanchen took some hotpot from the hot pot and suddenly lost his appetite, "What has she been busy with recently? I ran to Qihuang Palace and couldn't meet her by chance. Does she rarely even go to the Queen Mother?"

"The little eunuch under my command made some inquiries and said that the eldest princess seems to be planning to purchase Tutangliao and has visited dozens of them."

Wei Xianggao has some tricks.

Although it is not Dongchang, it is everywhere.

"She's going into the sugar business?"

Xie Xuanchen was puzzled, "The profit from sugar is not big, so I can't afford it."

There is no comparison with salt.

Wei Xianggao bowed his head and said, "I don't understand, either. It is said that the eldest princess went to the Tang Family's Tutang House again today."

Xie Xuanchen was a little disappointed. It seemed that today, he would not encounter the imperial sister in this hot pot restaurant.

"Your Majesty, I have called a bartender who can play the pipa to come and serve you."

"No need."

Xie Xuanchen refused impatiently and continued to eat hot pot.

"Your Majesty, please take a look at that pipa singer. She is very beautiful. She is good at playing music to relieve boredom." Wei Xianggao spared no effort in recommending, crazily hinting, "Although this girl is humble, she is better than having a good person." The skin has a bit of... appearance."

You can't speak too clearly.

But Xie Xuanchen already understood. He was stunned for a moment, then took a sip of red wine: "Pass!"

"The servants put the Yuezhi on their heads and pay homage to the young master."

A woman in green clothes, Tingting, came into the room, her voice was gentle and charming, she held the pipa and bowed down.

"Head up."

"Yes."

Shu Yuezhi raised her head shyly. She was originally a harlot on the flower boat on the Woye River. She learned some skills of playing the pipa and singing from her mother-in-law. Who knew that she was chosen by an eunuch in the palace and redeemed her? She got married, saying that she was coming to Yundu to serve a powerful man in the world, and she must serve him well.

Xie Xuanchen was shocked when he saw the white tofu-like face of the singer.

This appearance is very similar to the imperial sister.

Especially the nose, mouth and face shape.

What's different is the eyebrows. Shu Yuezhi has shallow pupils and sparse eyebrows, while Huang Jie has standard thick eyebrows, big eyes and a thick complexion.

Xie Xuanchen looked at those light-colored eyes and suddenly felt a little off-putting. He ordered in a deep voice: "Close your eyes."

Shu Yuezhi was surprised by the boy's beauty, and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

Could this be Eunuch Wei, the master she was asked to serve?Not old at all, and so beautiful.

"The servant obeys."

Shu Yuezhi immediately closed her eyes obediently.

Xie Xuanchen still frowned. She was unruly and would not speak in such a servile manner. It didn't taste right: "Forget it, just go back and forth wherever you go."

Shu Yuezhi was shocked, her eyes turned red immediately, and she burst into tears: "Does the young master dislike the slave family? Please have mercy on the young master!"

She didn't want to go back to the flower boat.

Rather than being a little bit of a boat prostitute with red lips that thousands of people can taste, it would be better to serve this good-looking man in front of her.

"Your Majesty... Young Master, please think about it again?" Wei Xianggao was also a little anxious. He spent 5000 taels of silver on this woman. "If you don't like her eyes, just make her blind and cover her eyes with white silk." !”

After ten days.

Mu Tingxue came to Tutangliao in Tianshui County again.

Here, it has been completely renewed.

The thatched juice-pressing shed has been transformed into a brand-new house made of bricks and tiles. All the mud and garbage on the ground have been cleaned up. There is no dirt in the big pot for boiling sugar, and the air is fresh and free of rotten stench.A brand-new stone sugar cart was also installed, pulled by the old scalper, and started working squeakingly. The fresh sugar cane juice flowed along the bamboo tube into the large and bright porcelain vat below.

The pots used for boiling sugar are also clean and hygienic, and the brown sugar attached to them is no longer moldy and wormy.

"Your Highness, look—"

Mrs. Tang looked at her longingly, but hesitated to speak.

She spent a lot of money to update equipment and improve sanitation, and almost emptied half of the Tang family's property. The opposition in the clan was huge, so she held on to the pressure and carried it out, just to bet on this possibility!

"Well, it's alright."

Mu Tingxue finally nodded.

Mrs. Tang was so happy that she almost fainted, with tears filling her eyes: "Thank you, Your Highness, the eldest princess, for giving the Tang family this opportunity, thank you..."

Mu Tingxue ignored her basketful of compliments and went straight to the point: "From now on, all the local sugar houses will be integrated into sugar factories. The process of making white sugar is called the yellow mud water method. It requires yellow mud, Lime, or alternative activated carbon, diatomaceous earth adsorbent."
