The Journey of Immortality of the Peerless Medical Concubine

"Hehe, sir, do you have any other instructions?"

"No more, go and do your work."

"Okay, sir, call me if you need anything."

Nodding, and after the waiter walked away, Tang Zhentian turned to look at Yu Tai and spoke slowly.

"Go check on this person Lin Xiangzhao!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Yu Tai nodded repeatedly. In fact, even if Tang Zhentian didn't say it, he would have become curious about Lin Xiangzhao. A third-rank Chief Censor could actually share the joys and sorrows with the people. This kind of situation was rare in the court.

If this is true, then Lin Xiangzhao is really worthy of being reused.

While Tang Zhentian was thinking, the waiter had already brought up the dishes Tang Zhentian ordered. Seeing the delicious food on the table, Tang Zhentian immediately forgot everything else. Apart from anything else, the appearance alone was worth the price of the dish.

Yu Tai on the side was drooling as he watched, but the person in front of him was His Majesty the Emperor Dong Huang, so he couldn't even pick up his chopsticks to eat. He could only watch and could do nothing.

I thought that as the personal eunuch of the Emperor Dong, Yu Tai had already mastered the skill of not showing his affection. The imperial kitchen served endless meals every day, which one was not delicious? However, compared with the dishes in the Zhuyue Restaurant, they seemed to be slightly inferior.

Of course, this does not mean that the dishes in Zhuyue Restaurant are better looking than those in the Imperial Kitchen, but it gives people a feeling of being very appetizing just by looking at them.

Tang Zhentian could no longer hold back. Before the dishes were even placed on the table, Tang Zhentian's chopsticks had already reached into the bowl, which showed how impatient he was.

"Hmm~"

After taking a bite, Tang Zhentian's eyes were full of stars and he was amazed in his heart. Wen Liuli was really good at these things. No wonder he heard that Lao Liu and the others went to Prince Wu's Mansion every now and then. If every dish had this taste, Tang Zhentian would go there every day.

But this is just talk. It is impossible for Tang Zhentian to go to Prince Wu's Mansion to eat and drink for free every day. Not to mention that he is busy with political affairs. Even if there is nothing to do, he can't go to his son's house to eat and drink every day. If he tells others about it, won't Donghuang have any face?

"Gulu~"

Seeing Tang Zhentian start to wolf down the food after taking the first bite, Yu Tai really couldn't stand it anymore and started swallowing his saliva while standing behind Tang Zhentian.

Maybe Yu Tai's throat was a little bigger than others, and the sound of him swallowing saliva fell into Tang Zhentian's ears, making him look up at him.

"you want to eat?"

"I don't dare, old slave."

"Okay, this is not the palace. There is a set of bowls and chopsticks over there. Just sit down and eat."

Giving Yu Tai a blank look, Tang Zhentian didn't stop moving while he was talking. He had long noticed that most of the people who came here to eat were ordinary people. There were so many people in the whole hall, and except for a servant standing behind him, almost all the others were sitting on benches and showing off.

This made Tang Zhentian seem a little out of place. He was clearly on a secret visit, but with the eunuch standing behind him, it looked a little incongruous.

"this......"

Yu Tai was shocked when he heard this. Dining at the same table with the emperor? How dare I?

"Don't hesitate. Just sit down and eat. If it's not enough, order more. You're the one paying anyway."

"Um...I obey your command."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tai couldn't help but twitch his lips. If he was a little nervous before, he finally felt relieved when Tang Zhentian asked him to pay.

As a close minister of His Majesty, Yu Tai has learned the art of observing people's words and expressions thoroughly. Sometimes, one can tell what Tang Zhentian is thinking from his words and actions.

At this moment, it was obvious that Tang Zhentian really wanted him to sit down and eat. Regardless of whether it was because of some sense of incongruity, his tone was sincere. After all, it was very rare to hear His Majesty joking.

So, after Yu Tai sat down, Tang Zhentian ordered several more dishes. Sitting at the table, the two of them didn't say a word and just focused on eating the whole time.

It was not for any other reason, but because the taste was so good, so good that they had no mood to talk at all. If they had the free time, they might as well eat a few more bites.

After the meal, both of them leaned back in their chairs and touched their bellies with great satisfaction, especially Tang Zhentian. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had a meal like today. He was not in a very good mood to begin with. Under normal circumstances, he couldn't even eat while sitting in the imperial study.

It was because the dishes at Zhuyue Restaurant tasted so good, otherwise Tang Zhentian would have been hungry today.

"After we go back, let those useless people in the imperial kitchen come here and learn how to cook. Let's see what they cook all day long."

After eating and drinking his fill, Tang Zhentian couldn't help but complain again. After eating the food here and then thinking about what he had eaten before, the food was simply no different from garbage.

As an emperor, he is very picky about food. After trying the dishes here, I am afraid that the food in the imperial kitchen would be tasteless if he goes back to eat it.

"Old slave obeys!"

Hearing Tang Zhentian's words, Yu Tai nodded. He used to think that the meals prepared in the imperial kitchen were good, but compared with the Zhuyue Restaurant, there was a world of difference.

The imperial chefs should all learn this well, otherwise they will not be able to bear the consequences if His Majesty cannot eat in the future.

"What are you still doing sitting here? Go and pay!"

"Ah...ah?"

"What? Do you still want me to pay?"

"Forehead......"

Hearing this, Yu Tai suddenly stood up from his chair and hurriedly ran to the front desk to pay the bill.

Come to think of it, why would His Majesty bring money with him when he goes out? And they didn't tell anyone when they left, and Yu Tai didn't prepare anything at all. Fortunately, he had some change on him, otherwise His Majesty Donghuang would probably have the reputation of eating without paying.

When it came time to pay, Yu Tai was already prepared to bleed. You know, they had eaten a lot in that meal just now. Although he lived deep in the palace, Yu Tai still had a certain understanding of the market prices outside. He might have spent a month's salary on that meal alone.

However, what he didn't expect was that the few coins he gave out were not only enough, but the shopkeeper also gave him several cents in change, which shocked Yu Tai.

You know, the taste of this Zhuyue Restaurant is definitely the most delicious thing Yu Tai has ever eaten in his life, but its price is the cheapest he has ever eaten, no doubt about it.

"What? Didn't you bring enough money?"

Seeing Yu Tai's complicated expression after he came back, Tang Zhentian couldn't help but frown. You are a personal eunuch, how come you don't even bring enough money when you go out?

If this gets out, how will I survive in the future?

"Your Majesty, it's not that we don't have enough money, but the price is just too cheap."

"Oh? How is it cheaper?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhentian immediately became interested. He had heard that it was very affordable, but he was not sure exactly how affordable it was.

"I just asked the shopkeeper, the most expensive item on this table is this bowl of boiled pork slices, which costs forty coins."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Tang Zhentian's eyes suddenly widened and his face was full of disbelief.

Although he was the emperor, he still had a concept of money. For example, you would have to pay five coins to eat a bowl of plain noodles. But this was a big bowl full of meat, and it only cost forty coins?

Wouldn't Wen Liuli be losing money by doing this?

Or is it that she is doing this kind of business that loses money but gains publicity?

"Hey man, your dishes are so cheap, aren't you losing money?"

When he was confused, Tang Zhentian called out to the guy in the distance and asked.

"Haha, sir, you may not know this, but our boss says this is called small profits but quick turnover. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Although this dish doesn't look expensive, we can actually make a few cents."

"What a great way to make a small profit but quick turnover!"

Hearing this word, Tang Zhentian slapped his thigh immediately. Wen Liuli's move was really brilliant.

Although you don’t make much money from one dish, but if it tastes good and is cheap, it will gain a good reputation and attract more people to dine there. If you sell more, you will naturally make more money.

While sighing, Tang Zhentian discovered another shining point of Wen Liuli. She is an excellent medical skill, can cook, entertain, and do business. Wow, what can't this girl do?

Apart from anything else, if her business philosophy were to spread, it would definitely boost economic flow in a region.

Of course, this method of small profits but quick turnover is not applicable to every commodity. For example, for some relatively precious items, the business method for them is to close the store for three years and then make a profit for three years after reopening.

For fear of affecting other people's business, Tang Zhentian left Zhuyue Restaurant after talking with the waiter for a while and gave his seat to others. After all, there were still many people queuing outside.

"Let's go to Prince Wu's Mansion and see what that girl is doing."

"Yes!"

In fact, Tang Zhentian didn't even need to say anything, Yu Tai had guessed where he was going next. His Majesty had been on and off A Li Ya's feet this morning, and if he didn't go for a stroll in Prince Wu's Mansion, he would be sorry for His Majesty's nagging all morning.

Besides, the Zhuyue Restaurant is less than half an hour away from Prince Wu's Palace, so it won't take long to get there.

On the way to Prince Wu's Palace, Tang Zhentian saw a scene that made him very confused.

"Go ask them what they are doing."

"Yes!"

Right in front of Tang Zhentian, a group of about twenty or thirty people carrying a bunch of farm tools were walking towards him. Judging from the direction they were heading, they were going out of the city.

But in this winter, the ground is covered with snow. What are these people doing with their hoes and shovels? Farming?

After a while, Yu Tai slowly walked back. It would have been better if he had not asked. The more he asked, the more confused he became, because this group of people really went to work in the fields. Moreover, he asked these people something that shocked him.

These people are all servants of Prince Wu’s Mansion.
