Qi Yuan was a little annoyed.

He just frowned and before he could say anything, he was grabbed by Xin Guoguo:

"Let's go, let's go. You can't force the cow to drink water. Let's go to another place."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he sneered: "There are all kinds of strange people these days."

He didn't say anything unpleasant.

The secrets of a restaurant, apart from those of the accountant, lie in the kitchen.

Not to mention the restaurant is located in this area and has such good business.

Even if it is just a small restaurant, few are willing to let just anyone work in the kitchen.

If they are caught off guard and something is added to them, they won't be able to detect it for a while.

By the time it was discovered, the restaurant was basically ruined.

Qi Yuan also understood this truth.

He glanced at the shopkeeper and followed his mother out of the restaurant.

"I didn't mean to get angry just now."

He looked at his mother and explained.

"Ahhh, right, right, you didn't mean to get angry. Mother just suddenly wanted to pull you."

Qi Yuan: ...

Is he that kind of irritable emperor? !

His eyes involuntarily moved down to look at the hand holding his wrist.

Those hands were well maintained and still looked as fair and delicate as those of a young girl.

Qi Yuan slowly raised the corners of his lips.

Since he ascended the throne, the relationship between mother and son has become less close.

Even in daily interactions, most of them are full of seriousness and rules.

But he was only eight years old when he ascended the throne.

He is still a child longing for his mother's love.

Xin Guoguo didn't notice her eldest son's emotions.

Next, the four of them went to several restaurants but were unsuccessful.

Xin Guoguo had no choice but to lower her requirements.

It’s just a roadside stall.

These days, there are no roadside stalls selling fried rice.

After all, this thing is made of both white rice and eggs, which ordinary people can neither afford nor bear to eat.

Those who can afford it will not eat at roadside stalls.

Xin Guoguo found a small shop selling wontons and took Cuizhu to discuss borrowing kitchen utensils from the vendor.

He also asked Qi Yuan to take the imperial chef to buy the seasonings and ingredients that would be used later.

By the time Qi Yuan came back, Xin Guoguo had already reached an agreement on the deal.

The stall is owned by a middle-aged couple.

The two of them worked very hard all day and could only earn less than two hundred coins.

But Xin Guoguo gave two taels of silver at once.

They also had to be hired to wash dishes and steam rice.

This is equivalent to their income for more than half a month.

Besides, the lady said that she would only borrow it for three days at most.

It won't delay their future business.

How could they not agree?!

After the stall was set up, Xin Guoguo let the imperial chef take over.

When everything is ready, the first basket of rice is steamed.

Xin Guoguo took his son to greet passers-by:

"Try it and take a look. It's delicious fried rice. It's only five cents a bowl. You won't get cheated or fooled!"

This penetrating sound soon reached the ears of passers-by.

Pairs of eyes subconsciously search for the source of the sound.

When they found that the place where wontons were previously sold had been occupied by someone else, some people gathered around curiously.

The royal chef has already heated up the oil in the wok and started frying the first pot of egg fried rice.

The egg liquid and oil sizzle and turn a golden color.

Without waiting for the egg liquid to solidify, pour the rice in and start stir-frying.

The fragrance hits your nose instantly.

Even though Xing Guoguo had eaten egg fried rice for several days, she couldn't help but sniff when she smelled the fragrance.

"Is this... really five cents?"

Someone swallowed and asked tentatively.

There is lard, rice, and eggs. The cost alone must be at least five cents, right?

Xin Guoguo smiled and nodded: "Of course! Do you want to try it? We have a real royal chef's cooking skills!"

Many people were tempted.

Five cents is not a small amount for them, but it is not a lot either.

Nowadays, when you can buy a bran bun for a penny, this bowl of egg fried rice is really worth the money.

"I'll have a bowl!"

"I'll have a bowl too!"

As soon as someone started speaking, others immediately followed suit.

Soon, the small wonton stall was filled with people.

The original boss and his wife hurriedly greeted the guests and served a bowl of egg fried rice to everyone who sat down.

Even though one pot can produce three bowls, the imperial chef almost fried the bottom of the pot until smoke came out.

His forehead was covered with sweat.

Xin Guoguo waited to collect the money and asked everyone: "How does it taste?"

Looking at the ever-increasing progress of the task, Xin Guoguo's mouth was full of grins.

After working non-stop for more than an hour, the imperial chef's hands were so tired that he could hardly lift them. Xin Guoguo finally heard a pleasant prompt sound.

[Ding! The Gold Finger activation task has been completed. The Gold Finger trial task is officially opened. Please complete the task carefully. Maintaining the peace of the plane starts with me. ]

Xin Guoguo looked at the little rice left and the long line in front of the stall.

He hurried over and said, "Excuse me, everyone. We're sold out of today's fried rice. Please go away."

"Ah? How come it's over? I just heard about it!"

"Yeah, we've been waiting in line for a long time."

Xin Guoguo smiled apologetically: "Sorry, the share we prepared is limited. We are a small business and we really can't afford the loss."

When everyone heard this, their faces turned red: "That's right, if your family does business like this, it would be strange if you don't lose money."

After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh.

It’s a pity that he found out too late. He may never have the chance to eat such delicious fried rice again.

However, these people did not dwell on it for too long.

The boss looked like the wife of a wealthy family. She probably came out today just to experience how hard it is to make money.

After frying the last pot of egg fried rice, Xin Guoguo invited everyone to sit down and eat together, then said goodbye to the boss and his wife and left.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back to the palace, Qi Yuan was full of doubts: "Mother, why did you come here today?"

Xin Guoguo counted the five hundred copper coins she had received, and then asked Cuizhu to put them on:

"Why? I just thought it was fun and wanted to do it."

When the carriage stopped, she got off and asked Cuizhu to give the string of copper coins and a reward purse to Yang Yuchu:

"You are tired today. You should take a rest for the next two days. I will ask the Imperial Hospital to massage your wrists later to prevent you from getting too tired."

Yang Yuchu looked grateful and knelt down to express his gratitude.

"Okay, get up and go back to rest."

"Well. I'll take my leave now."

Yang Yuchu stood up respectfully, with his hands hanging down, and stepped back several steps before turning around and leaving.

As soon as Yang Yuchu left, Xin Guoguo also sent Qi Yuan away:

"Okay, you should take a break too."

There were so many people before that even Qi Yuan, the emperor, had to help her count the money.

Qi Yuan took his leave.

Even after returning to the imperial study, he still didn't understand the purpose of his mother's actions this time.

As soon as Xin Guoguo stepped into Ci'an Palace, a meat ball jumped into her arms:

"Grandmother, you are finally back! Fourteen missed you so much!"

Xin Guoguo bent down and picked up the little meat ball who had grown a little fatter in recent days:

"Oh! The Empress Dowager also misses Fourteen! Fourteen is going to the Imperial College to play today. Is he happy?"
