Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

When Mr. Su heard about eating, he immediately became interested, "What do you want to eat?"

Li Yu did not hide it from him and said, "In addition to the milk tea shop, the prince will also send someone to open a private restaurant. The restaurant was already arranged yesterday and will open the day after tomorrow."

Mr. Su: "If you invite me over...you're going to cook there?"

Li Yu nodded.

Mr. Su immediately stopped smiling. "You go? Aren't you the one who taught the prince at Zhuangzi? Why do we need you to go? If you are discovered, you will have to live under the surveillance of King Hui for the rest of your life!"

Li Yu knew that he was concerned about her, so she explained, "Some dishes in the private restaurant are difficult to make. I went there a few months ago to look after them and build up the restaurant's reputation first."

Mr. Su: “…”

Li Yu: "Don't worry, sir. The courtyard behind the restaurant has been bought by the prince's people. There is a tunnel between the restaurant and the courtyard. I pass through the courtyard every day. I will also dress up a little so that no one will notice me."

Mr. Su was worried and frowned, saying, "There are always unexpected events. Don't be so confident."

Li Yu: "I have discussed it with the prince. I will help him and he will send people to protect Xiaomei and me. Now there are people living in the empty yard next to my house. They are all guards sent by the prince.

There are also barbecue restaurants and hot pot restaurants. Every night, in addition to the original guards, there are three or four other people staying there."

Mr. Su: “…You!”

She was really bold and dared to do anything, but when he heard from Han Zheng that she wanted to support the prince, he was not surprised.

If she was a person who was afraid of everything and dared not do anything, she would not be in the capital now.

Although still a little worried, Mr. Su looked better than before.

"From what you said, the food in the private restaurant should not be cheap."

Li Yu: "It's really not cheap. This place is used to attract dignitaries from the court. It can help the prince collect information in the future."

Mr. Su: "You have considered everything."

Li Yu knew that what he said was meaningless, so she smiled and said, "The restaurant will open the day after tomorrow, sir, you can bring others over, but it's best to go there after Wei Hesong's Wei Jijiu ceremony, and then I'll reserve a seat for you in advance."

Mr. Su: "When the previous stores opened, you sent people to deliver food to me so that I wouldn't have to squeeze in with other people. Why did you ask me to go there this time?"

Li Yu: "I want you to help me put on a show."

*

Mr. Su finally agreed to Li Yu's request, but he also had a request that when he went there to eat the day after tomorrow, there must be a few spicy dishes.

Li Yu: "Sir, you shouldn't eat too many oily and spicy foods. Besides, if the food I cook for you is different from the food I cook for others, it will be easy to be exposed."

Mr. Su: “…” Okay.

Li Yu: "If you want to eat spicy food, I will make some spicy sausages for you next month."

Mr. Su had eaten the bacon made by Li Yu, and he liked the taste very much. When he heard about sausage, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Seriously."

Li Yu: "Really."

Mr. Su: "Then do as you say."

After leaving Su's house, Li Yu got on a carriage and went home.

When she was about to get home, she discovered that people were entering and leaving the house next door with three entrances.

Mr. Fang was standing at the door of his house. When he saw Li Yu coming back, he hurried forward to help pull the carriage.

Li Yu looked at the gate next door and asked, "Does anyone want to buy the house?"

Father Fang: "Yes, when they came over with the dental agent just now, I asked them a few questions and they said they were from Qingzhou Prefecture."

Li Yu: “…”

The prince's men stayed in the third-floor house every night. If there was anyone in the house...

Just as I was thinking about it, a man in his thirties walked out of the house.

Seeing Li Yu, he came up to her with a smile, "This is the No. 1 Scholar's sister-in-law, the boss of Li Ji Hotpot Restaurant, right? My last name is Bai, you can call me Lao Bai, I'm from Qingzhou Prefecture, and I'm in the fur business."

Li Yu smiled politely: "Boss Bai, nice to meet you. Are you planning to buy this house?"

"Yes." Boss Bai said with a smile: "This house is not only located in the inner city of Beijing, but also cheap."

Li Yu: "Boss Bai, have you heard the rumors about the house?"

Boss Bai: "The people at the dental office told me, but I'm not afraid. Boss Li, I heard that Han Zhuangyuan was trained by you, so I hope you can give my son more guidance in the future."

After that, without giving Li Yu a chance to refuse, Boss Bai took out a jar from his bag and stuffed it into Li Yu's hand: "This is the honey I bought from the beekeeper in the mountains. It is sweet and delicious. I give it to you, Boss Li, as a gift."

Li Yu wanted to refuse, but when he lifted the jar, he found something wrong. The jar was not small, and if it was filled with honey, it should not be so light.

She suddenly looked up and met Boss Bai's eyes.

Boss Bai's smile remained unchanged.

Li Yu put his hand down, hugged the jar and said, "Thank you, Boss Bai."

*

After returning home, Li Yu asked Fang's father to close the door, and she went into the house and opened the jar.

Sure enough, there was no honey in the jar, only a letter.

Li Yu opened it and found that the letter was written by the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess said that it was not a good idea to have those guards next door to her house every night, so she arranged for someone to buy the three-story house. From then on, those guards would be their neighbors and could protect them day or night.

In the letter, the Crown Princess also said that the house was given to Li Yu and would be sent to her after obtaining the title deed.

"You helped the prince and me, I am very grateful, I should have given you something more valuable, but the political situation is unstable now, I can't give you much at the moment, I can only give you a house as a token of my gratitude."

Li Yu: “…”

In fact, she had considered buying the house next door a few days ago, but she didn't want to show off her wealth at the moment, so she didn't make a move. As a result, the Crown Princess bought it first.

Li Yu put the letter away, cleaned the jar, and put it in the corner, waiting for other uses later.

The next day was the first day of November, and everything went well.

At noon that day, a restaurant opened on Changning Street next to Taiping Street in the outer city of Beijing.

The restaurant is on the corner of the street, occupying a large area. In front of the antique lobby hangs a plaque with three large characters inscribed on it: "Jin Yu Lou".

Because of the elegant decoration, many people came to watch after hearing the sound of firecrackers, but few people went inside.

Only a few rich young men passed by and saw it, and then they asked for a private room together.

When Wei Hesong arrived, what he saw was people whispering and the poor business in the store.

Is it possible that the food here is not delicious?

Wei Hesong frowned, but decided to go over and try it.

When the people saw him coming, they stopped him and said, "Master Wei, the food here is very expensive. If you want to eat in, do you have enough money?"

Wei Hesong looked at the restaurant, then at the people, "Is it expensive here?"

The people nodded, "I heard there are dishes that cost a few taels of silver."

Wei Hesong: “…” If that’s the case, the money he brought is not enough.

Forget it, I’ll come back another day.

Wei Hesong turned around and was about to leave when he was stopped by the store owner.

"Wei Jijiu, our restaurant is opening today, but the people don't trust us very much. So, I don't want your money, but you can come and taste the food in my restaurant, okay?"
