Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Because of the birth of Erbao, the two hadn't been together for a long time. Was the princess hinting at him? His eyes lit up with excitement, and he stared at Ye Youlan. He had received the wrong money several times.

By the time they had roasted the third lamb, several of the men and the chef had become proficient at the operation, and Ye Youlan could finally sit aside and drink tea and rest.

This fruit tea is made with apple, red dates, rock sugar and black tea, which is a popular product in Linzhou. It is refreshing and fragrant, and it is especially good for relieving the greasiness of lamb skewers. Almost everyone who buys barbecue will buy a bowl.

From morning to evening, a total of five sheep, five sacks of potatoes, two bags of peppers, ten bags of eggplants, a basket of leeks, and twenty buckets of fruit tea were slaughtered.

After deducting the cost, the profit was nearly two hundred taels of silver. Magistrate Zhang and other officials were jaw-dropping. They really couldn't believe that the profit from barbecue was so huge?

Ye Youlan smiled and said, "Barbecue is very profitable. You can buy a bag of potatoes for two cents. One potato can be skewered at least three times, which can be sold for six cents. And the fruit tea, a few apples, half a catty of red dates and two taels of tea, costs at most ten cents, but a bucket of fruit tea has about a hundred bowls, which is no different from picking up money. And these mutton skewers, one skewer has four pieces of diced mutton, and one sheep can be skewered thousands of times. In Linzhou, one skewer sells for twenty cents. If you go to the capital, the skewers are bigger and you can sell them for thirty or forty cents. The sheep heads, bones, and offal can be used to make soup, which can also be sold for money. This technique is simple to learn, and the cost of starting a business is not high. With a little training, you can open a business in other places and make Linzhou cuisine famous. Once Linzhou mutton becomes famous, it can also encourage local people to raise sheep and form an industry."

Magistrate Zhang and others were excited and said that they would issue a notice and invite everyone to come and study, and also asked the princess to give a detailed explanation to everyone tomorrow.

Ye Youlan yawned. "Tomorrow, the people from the mansion will continue to set up stalls outside the gate, doing business while teaching. Oh, and by the way, it's better to find a replacement for that red willow branch. There aren't many trees in Linzhou to begin with, and we don't want to burn them all down."

Let’s think together, what can we use to replace it?

Li Zhi raised his hand: "Use bamboo sticks."

"But we don't have bamboo in Linzhou?"

"I know where there are bamboos."

Everyone looked at Ye Youlan.

Ye Youlan winked at the Seventh Prince: "In Yangcheng, there's a family we live with. There are a lot of bamboos on the hills near their house."

The Seventh Prince thought of Wutong Mountain, where there were indeed a lot of bamboos.

The Seventh Prince asked the president of the Chamber of Commerce to contact the business companies in Yangcheng to purchase bamboo sticks in large quantities, which would also bring income to the local villagers.

Ye Youlan drew the shape of a bamboo stick on paper and marked the size. She was worried, so she asked Dingxiang to get a few peeled red willow branches and use them as a standard.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce will make arrangements immediately and strive to have the first batch of goods delivered in three days.

After the meeting, Ye Youlan took a hot bath and went to bed comfortably.

The Seventh Prince was very excited and went to take a shower quickly. When he came back, he saw Ye Youlan sleeping soundly. He knew that she was too tired and could not bear to interrupt her sweet dream, so he could only wait until he got back.

For the next three days, Ye Youlan gave free teaching in front of the barbecue stall and distributed free information to everyone. The most important part was the seasoning, as well as how to choose a store, how to make various delicious fruit teas, how to make delicious mutton offal soup, etc.

Ye Youlan later received a letter from Xiaomei, saying that she had seen several Linzhou barbecue restaurants in Beijing and that the food was delicious. When she and Li Yi went to eat there, they also met Chen Xiaoling and Chen Su.

Xiaomei also mentioned Li Zong in the letter, saying that he was dead, that he fell into the lake and drowned while mad. Madam Xiao went to Qingyue Temple to ask the old lady to come back to take care of the funeral. The old lady talked to her for a long time. The people outside were waiting anxiously, and when they opened the door, they found that both of them were dead in the house.

When Ye Youlan heard Li Zong's name, it felt like a long time ago. The past was like smoke, and everything became the past.

By September, the name of the second baby was finally decided.

Li Junchen.

Li Junchen, Ye Junlin, Ye Youlan had reason to believe that their father named them after their eldest grandson. She didn't like it and thought it would be better to call them Li Mubai.

She let the Seventh Prince make the decision.

"Li Mubai, it sounds like you are not white, you are not as good as Li Junchen!"

Ye Youlan gave the Seventh Prince a look of disdain: "Junchen is a name that is used a lot, just like Zihan."

But in the end Ye Youlan compromised, because that was the name her old father came up with after reading several books.

Qiao Luochuan came to tell them that Song Wen wanted to come here.

Ye Youlan was puzzled as to what he could do in his fiefdom when he was living a good life in the capital, pretending to be cultured and reciting poems while enjoying the moonlight.

Qiao Luochuan said awkwardly: "When I first came to the fiefdom, I told him that if he wanted to come, I would help him."

The Seventh Prince thought it was nothing, as the fiefdom also needed people now.

"Let him come. If you find a suitable position for him, he'll be given a good job. If he doesn't like the hardship, I won't try to stop him."

So Qiao Luochuan went to write a letter.

Ye Youlan asked the Seventh Prince to write a letter to his father to inquire about Song Wen's situation in the capital and why he suddenly wanted to come here?

"You doubt him?"

"It's not that I doubt him, but it's better to be cautious in everything. After all, we beat him up in the restaurant before."

Speaking of this, Ye Youlan wanted to laugh, and she missed the days when she and her good sisters were together.

The Seventh Prince asked the secret guards to investigate, and they got the news very quickly within a few days.

Song Wen worked in the Hanlin Academy. One day he fell asleep at his desk and the candle fell over, almost causing a fire. He was scolded by his boss. He wanted to change his job but couldn't find a way. So when he heard that Qiao Luochuan was doing well in his fiefdom, he couldn't help but be tempted to come here.

Ye Youlan thought, "No problem, then come on!"

Qiao Luochuan arranged for Song Wen to be the principal of Gucheng Prefecture, an eighth-rank official, responsible for the management of the prefecture's courses. He also used his own money to rent a courtyard for Song Wen and arranged for a doorman and servants to serve him.

Song Wen was very happy to see Qiao Luochuan here, and pulled him aside to reminisce about the past.

Qiao Luochuan was a little embarrassed: "Brother Song, I'll have someone take you to the house first. You can rest for a while. I still have a lot of things to deal with."

Song Wen put away the smile on his face: "Then you get busy!"

The next day, Qiao Luochuan brought Song Wen to the palace to meet Ye Youlan and the Seventh Prince.

In the conference room, Ye Youlan saw Song Wen, who looked much more stable than before. Perhaps life had smoothed out his edges!

Song Wen stepped forward and bowed, and the Seventh Prince asked him to sit down and talk.

Ye Youlan met an old friend in a foreign land and asked many questions. She asked all the names she could think of, except Li Zong Yurou.

Song Wendu answered with a smile, and also told about several times when he and Chen Su drank and talked about Mr. Chen's works, arguing until they were red in the face.

"When I have time, I will invite them to stay here for a few days, so that we can chat and enjoy life together." Ye Youlan was a little excited.

Song Wen smiled and said, "I'm really looking forward to this day."
