After my mind was read, I became the emperor's favorite

Qi Mingze has been extremely busy these days.

While dealing with the follow-up matters of the abduction and sale case, he was also preparing to launch a business war against the saboteurs.

Recipes, blueprints, business layout, training service staff, teaching various marketing strategies...

All of these can only be handled by Qi Mingze alone, making him wish he could split one minute into ten parts to use.

When we are at our busiest, not only will we not be able to eat well, even our sleep time will be compressed.

In the professor's own words, he had never worked so hard even when he was at his most stressful time, such as the college entrance examination and scientific research.

It can be seen how angry this incident made him.

Jun Linyuan looked at the man who was getting thinner and thinner, and felt helpless to the extreme.

But we've talked to him, punished him, and even used threats and inducements, but he just won't listen.

Everything was agreed upon the day before, but according to the report from the shadow guard, this person still has to do what he wants in the Marquis of Wuwei's Mansion.

Even if he increased the intensity of his workouts to the point of exhaustion, he would still be busy late into the night.

In the end, Jun Linyuan had no choice but to take the man to Yun Mansion.

Only by strictly controlling his diet and daily routine can he be kept in check.

Not only that, but he is also secretly criticized by that unlucky system every day, saying that he is a fascist dictator and not a good match.

If Mingze hadn't been sensible and on his side, he would have probably exploded on the spot and started arguing with the system.

Although they spent more time together, Jun Linyuan's actions were greatly restricted.

Every day he had to get up at 3:45 am and rush to the palace. During the day he had to handle official business and receive court officials.

Sometimes he even had to deal with the affairs of the Wuyi Guard and Taishige.

It can be said that his daily routine is not much different from Qi Mingze's in the past few days, but he is still content with it.

These days, Qi Mingze has made various targeted plans based on the case files sent by Jun Linyuan.

Cui Mingruoming's businesses include an ice cream and milk tea shop, a restaurant, a snack stand, a clothing store, a jewelry store, and a treasure pavilion.

The hidden industries include curiosity shops and gambling houses.

This robbery case basically wiped out his curiosity hunting house, and the gambling house was also closed down by the government because of its connection with the curiosity hunting house or for various reasons.

The rescued girls and children who had somewhere to go were sent back directly.

The imperial court issued secret orders to government agencies at all levels to follow up on and compensate the victims, and to ensure that they were properly protected.

Those who had nowhere to go were left by Qi Mingze in the farms of Yan and Zhou.

It not only provides them with a place to stay, but also reserves sufficient manpower for subsequent business wars.

With the full cooperation of Liuxu Caravan and Huarong Pavilion, several special seasonings and cosmetic ingredients were gathered.

At this moment, the half-month preparation work is finally completed, and the prelude to the business war is about to begin.

It's another day off every ten days

At this time, several streets in Shengjing were bustling with activity. The reason was that several restaurants called Zhenxiu Pavilion opened at the same time.

Three days before the opening, children and waiters were handing out flyers in the streets and alleys, and storytellers in teahouses were also promoting it.

The general content is the various discounts and benefits during the first three days of the opening of Zhenxiu Pavilion, as well as its dish descriptions and special services.

The overwhelming publicity has really whetted everyone's appetite.

In the past few days, everyone from noble families to peddlers and hawkers have been discussing this new and novel restaurant.

"Little cousin." Huo Le'an waved to Qi Mingze at the corner of East Street.

How could Huo Le'an be absent on such a lively day?

As early as when he received the flyer, he sent his servant to the Zhenxiu Pavilion to reserve a private room.

So, on the opening day, he invited his little cousin to come to the restaurant to try something new.

"Cousin." Qi Mingze walked up to Huo Le'an with a smile.

Huo Le'an looked behind him for a long time, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that there was no one else there.

Qi Mingze looked at him with a half-smile and kindly explained his confusion, "Chengyuan was recruited into the palace."

"Haha, I was wondering why Chengyuan didn't come with you. That's such a pity."

Huo Le'an was stubborn and tried hard to maintain his precarious reputation.

Qi Mingze did not expose him, but seeing how cowardly he was, the system laughed so hard that it fell down in the space.

Early in the morning, the area around the Treasure Pavilion was filled with the aroma of food.

The fresh, spicy and sweet aroma spread, attracting many passers-by to stop and take a look.

Guests came alone or in groups of three or five, and the whole street became very prosperous.

Huo Le'an saw many familiar faces in the crowd. After greeting them one by one, they also came to the front of the restaurant through the VIP channel.

"Dear guests, do you have a reservation?" the elegantly dressed and courteous waiter asked respectfully.

"I've booked the Yazhang Pavilion." Huo Le'an handed over the invitation given to him by the servant.

"Please follow me, both of you." After checking carefully, the waiter raised his hand and invited them respectfully.

When you walk to the box on the second floor, the first thing that catches your eye is the couplets on both sides of Yazhang Pavilion.

"The spring breeze is elegant and can accommodate everything, while the autumn water is elegant and can remain untainted by dust."

What a clear, bright and worldly couplet! Even Huo Le'an, who is not very good at it, couldn't help but feel moved.

"Okay." Someone next to him couldn't help but exclaimed, and Huo Le'an turned to look at him.

This person was immersed in the meaning of the couplet over there, and his companions were also constantly praising it.

"The moon shines through the white pines in the clear wind, and the green bamboos hide in the clear water and green mountains."

Sure enough, it is another couplet with a lofty artistic conception, like a secluded orchid in a valley.

Walking into the private room, Huo Le'an was instantly attracted by the calligraphy and paintings on the wall and the layout of the room.

The combination of poetry, painting, flowers and jade is elegant and ethereal, with poetry mixed with painting, creating a beauty that transcends the material world.

After the two sat down, the waiter opened the menu on the table, and the dishes appeared one by one on the paper.

The wide variety of dishes including main dishes, side dishes, soups, desserts, cold dishes, etc. is dazzling.

Huo Le'an flipped through the menu and felt that he wanted to eat every dish. Unable to make up his mind, he simply gave the choice to his little cousin beside him.

"My dear cousin, I'm overwhelmed by the choices. You should choose one."

Qi Mingze ordered a few signature dishes without even looking at them, and specifically asked for small portions.

"Please wait a moment, sir." The waiter took a pen and paper and quickly wrote it down, then confirmed it again before leaving the private room.

"My dear cousin, this place is really unique. The lobby is suitable for both the elite and the masses, and the private rooms are elegant and refined. It can attract all kinds of people.

I don’t know where this comes from, but it has such good taste.”

Huo Le'an felt that his knowledge was still too limited, otherwise how could a small restaurant make him so amazed.

[That's right, don't you see whose host set it up?] The system puffed out its chest, looking proud.

"These are secondary. A restaurant's main focus is food."

Qi Mingze was not being modest, but was really expressing his own views.

Good wine needs no bush, and similarly, good food doesn’t care about location.

He just follows the local customs. When he competes with others, he will try his best to do his best.

Therefore, the design should be in line with the style and aesthetics of this era.

"Knock knock" Not long after, there were two knocks on the door, followed by the waiter's voice coming from outside the door.

"Sir, I'm serving you the food now. I wonder if it's inconvenient."

"Please come in." Seeing that Huo Le'an was still immersed in the decoration of the room, Qi Mingze replied to the waiter.

Several waiters came in one after another carrying food trays, quickly put them away, and then left in an orderly manner.

Every time a dish is served, the waiter will give a brief introduction to its characteristics, and if there are special dishes, he will also explain how to eat them and the circumstances.

"The dishes are all served, please enjoy them. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first.

There are servants waiting outside the door, and guests can ask them for anything they want."

"Yeah." Qi Mingze nodded.

These people's neither humble nor arrogant attitude, and polite conversation, even the knowledgeable Huo Le'an couldn't help but take a few more glances.
