I want to ruin the country

Du Shoutian smiled and said,

"I definitely can't afford it with my salary. If I go there too often, I'm afraid I'll lose my official hat soon!"

Yining said,

"Don't worry about that. You've all worked hard and made great contributions. I can give you 10% off cards.

It’s available nationwide, so you can eat wherever you go and go whenever you want!

Wenqing was beaming with joy.

"Ah, haha, is what the emperor said true?"

Peng Yunzhang said hurriedly,

"The emperor's words are golden, how can we joke about them?"

Yining Road,

"That's right, I keep my word!"

Several people were overjoyed. With a 10% discount, they should be able to afford it! This is a great thing!

Lin Zexu said,

"Isn't the Emperor cultivating another privileged class?"

Yining Road,

"These restaurants belong to me. They have nothing to do with the country. I can do whatever I want, and no one can say anything about it!"

Du Shoutian Road,

"In fact, doesn't the country also belong to the emperor? It's just a different way of saying it, right?"

Lin Zexu nodded.

"Yes, home, country, and the world, all land belongs to the king!"

Man Hing Road,

"Your Majesty, don't forget when the time comes. When my daughter-in-law gives birth, I will go to the Royal Restaurant to hold a full-moon banquet!"

Yining teased him,

"Are you from a family that's short of money? Why are you targeting me?"

Wenqing rolled his eyes.

"Why not take advantage of the Emperor's gift?"

Several people laughed and talked as they came to the street.

As we walked along, as expected, all the restaurants and hotels were full.

We walked two streets but still couldn't find a place to eat.

It’s no wonder. There are too many people in the capital now, and the common people are almost drinking up all the water in the well.

Iran Nuclear Flat Road,

"Your Majesty, how about I go find a table at the restaurant?"

Yining was puzzled.

"You bastard, if you go there, they'll make room for you? You're not trying to bully others, are you?"

Yi Heping knew the emperor's temper and knew that it was absolutely forbidden to bully the common people, otherwise he would lose his head without knowing how.

He said quickly,

"We can't let the Emperor and the others stand on the street waiting for a seat!

I want to go up and see if there is any place available for those who have eaten their fill!"

Yining misunderstood and hit him on the head with a fan.

"You're tired of living, aren't you? Do you want to take advantage of our status to rob us?"

Yi Heping said quickly,

"Your Majesty has wronged me. I just wanted to spend more money to buy a few more seats!"

"That won't work either, don't you know that everyone is equal?

It's not a big deal to be rich. If you're willing to wait, then wait. If you don't want to wait, then go back and eat. No special treatment allowed!"

Although everyone knows that the emperor loves the people very much, I was still secretly surprised when I saw it today!

Not to mention bullying others by taking advantage of your power, even spending more money is considered bullying!

The emperor truly treats the common people equally! How lucky the common people are to have such an emperor!

At this moment, I heard an old man's scolding from the side.

"Okay, you've already eaten two bowls, I really don't have any more!"

Everyone looked back and saw a stall selling jelly on the street.

The stall owner was an old man with a white beard. In front of the old man stood a ragged, disheveled man holding a bowl in his hand, as if he wanted to eat jelly!

"It's gone, it's gone, it's really gone!"

The old man pointed to the big basket of jelly and said!

The beggar seemed unwilling to give in and still stood there with his brows and eyes wide open!

The old man said,

"Let's go, let's go, it's really gone, I want to go home too!"

The man then left reluctantly.

Yining said to Yi Heping,

"Go ask that guy what's going on!"

Yi Heping agreed to go.

Yining took two steps forward and asked the old man,

"Old man, what's wrong?"

The old man said,

"This guy ate two bowls of my jelly. I have none left, but he won't leave!"

Yining asked,

"Old man, are they sold out so early?"

The old man laughed and said,

"The first basket was sold out a long time ago. This is the second basket!"

Yining knew that jelly was made by boiling starch and water.

Add some Chinese toon, chives, sesame paste, soy sauce, vinegar and garlic and mix well. It is extremely delicious.

"How much does a bowl cost?"

"Two bowls for one big one!"

Although the price of jelly is not high, the profit is not low. Yining asked,

"Two baskets, that's a lot of money, right?"

The old man said happily,

"To be honest, sir, we're selling for half the price we usually get. Selling just one basket is enough to feed our family for a few days!"

Yining nodded.

"Not bad, is this the case every day?"

The old man said,

"In the past, a basket of goods would be sold out until after noon, but in the past ten days or so, two baskets can't even be sold out by noon!"

Yining asked,

“Why don’t you do more!”

"I don't have anything, otherwise three baskets wouldn't be enough to sell!"

Yining Road,

"It's going to be busy for many days. How much does it cost to buy a basket? Can't you make enough money?"

The old man slapped his head.

"You said I was stupid, wasn't I? I only spent a dozen bucks on a basket, but I made that much money with a few bowls of jelly!"

As he was speaking, Yi Heping came over.

"Master, that man is from Shaanxi. He doesn't look very energetic and only said he's here to take the exam!"

"Are you taking the exam, a candidate?"

Yi Heping shook his head.

"Master, do you think they look alike?"

The old man said as he packed his things,

"The man drinking jelly you mentioned, he's just a beggar, I think.

You've been eating for free here for two days, two big bowls each time, and you haven't spent a penny!"

Yining asked,

"You let him eat for free if he has no money?"

"It's just two bowls of jelly, it's not worth much. The emperor said people shouldn't starve to death, and I can't watch him starve!"

Yining was puzzled.

"Isn't there a porridge stall at the city gate? Why doesn't he go there?"

The old man said,

"They said they weren't begging, they wanted to take the Ministry of Industry exam, there was nothing I could do!"

Yining was stunned. He turned around and looked at Peng Yunzhang.

"Going to the Ministry of Industry to take the exam?"

Peng Yunzhang shook his head, meaning he didn't know what was going on?

"Go over and have a look!"

Yining looked at the man and saw that he had squatted down in the shade of the wall by the roadside.

He walked over and asked,

"My fellow countryman, are you from Shaanxi?"

The man nodded.

"What are you doing here?"

"Take the exam!"

"What are you taking the test for?"

"whatever!"

Ah, anything goes! It was the first time Yining heard someone so immodest.

Yining looked at him carefully. It was already quite hot at noon, but he was still wearing a tattered cotton jacket, but like a minority, it was half on and half draped over.

The beard on his face was prickly and looked like it had not been trimmed for a long time. The braid at the back of his head was so dirty that it looked like a pigtail.

Looking at the feet, the big toes and second toes of both feet are exposed. I guess the shoes are too worn and don't fit the feet anymore, so they are tied to the instep with a hemp rope.

Yining looked at him and didn't believe that he was here to take the exam. Any clever and dexterous person would not end up like this!

Du Shoutian Road,

"There's a porridge stall at the city gate. If you're hungry, go there and eat. It's guaranteed to keep you full!"

The man looked at him.

"I'm taking the exam, not begging!"
