The courtyard where Yin Changqing lives is quite spacious and the scenery is not bad. In this courtyard, there are rockery and flowing water, and there is a small pavilion, which is very particular. But now Yin Changqing is sitting in the pavilion, pricking the villain with needles.
In Yin Changqing's hand, he held a small figure made of a puppet. On the back of the villain, the word 'Du Qi' is written.
This is Du Qi's name.
In Yin Changqing's heart, he already hated Du Qi to the core. He had seen Du Qi's methods, and while he hated Du Qi in his heart, he was also afraid of Du Qi. He didn't dare and had no means to take revenge on Du Qi. Inner resentment.
He carried this puppet with him.
In order to vent at any time.
During this period of time, Yin Changqing's life was quite miserable. On the one hand, Yin's shop went from bad to worse after word-of-mouth collapsed, and eventually closed down and could no longer operate. On the other hand, after he and his father Yin Ashu were scolded by Du Qi, their reputations were lost, and they were reprimanded by the prince's arrangers, and they had been gradually marginalized by the prince Li Jiancheng.
If it wasn't for the two of them relying on Concubine Yin De, and Concubine Yin De is Li Yuan's favorite concubine, I am afraid that the two fathers and sons would have been dealt with by Li Jiancheng, who was furious, because the two fathers and sons had suffered one after another in Du Qi's hands and lost all face.
Regarding the matter of tea, Yin Changqing and Yin Ashu once suspected that Mu Yuansheng was arranged by Du Qi. After all, after Yin's shop fell, Du Qi benefited.
The problem is, there are no clues to be found.
There is no evidence that Mu Yuansheng is Du Qi's man. So even Yin Changqing and Yin Ashu both guessed, but without evidence, they had no choice but to keep hatred in their hearts against Du Qi.
When Yin Changqing was pricking the puppet with needles, a servant entered, and the servant bowed and said, "My lord, it's time for breakfast."
"What to eat, if you don't have an appetite, don't eat."
Yin Changqing snorted, very angry. Although he is alive and kicking now, the hostility in his heart is still hard to calm down. A heart can never calm down.
The attendant stood aside and suddenly said, "Master, today is the sixth day of May. I heard that today is the opening time of Du Qi Restaurant in Yongxingfang. Let's go make trouble today."
When Yin Changqing heard this, his brows raised, his eyes brightened, and he said excitedly: "My lord knows about the opening of Du Qi Restaurant. It's not bad if you say to make trouble. What's more, when we eat , with a little movement of his hands and feet, Du Qi fell, and he couldn't find the problem."
The attendant said: "My lord is wise!"
Yin Changqing copied it with his hand, put the puppet in his sleeve, and ordered: "Prepare the carriage, let's go to the restaurant."
"yes!"
The attendant got the order and went to arrange it immediately.
Not long after, Yin Changqing took a carriage and swaggered towards the location of Yongxingfang Restaurant
After the sun rose three poles, the sun became brighter and brighter.
The weather in May has already entered the early summer season, and the temperature is gradually rising. Fortunately, today's weather is not too hot, even if there is sun, it will not be hot on the body.
Wearing a white robe, Du Qi was already standing at the gate of the restaurant. Right above the restaurant, the five distinctive characters of "the best dish in the world" have been made into a plaque and hung high above the restaurant.
This plaque is shining golden.
Very promising.
On the left side outside the door of the restaurant, a group of guards composed of retired soldiers were all dressed in black and very energetic. They held their heads high and stood with their hands down, exuding high spirits.
Outside the main entrance of the restaurant, a red carpet is laid on the ground for easy walking. On both sides of the red carpet, there are plainly dressed but handsome women, standing on both sides to form a welcoming team.
These women, although ordinary in appearance, are also delicate and cleanly dressed, giving people an eye-catching feeling. On the street further outside, long tables were set up one after another.
On the desk, there are many dishes.
The dishes displayed are for tasting, mainly cold dishes. There are cold vegetables and cold meat, such as cold pig ears, pig scalp, etc. These dishes were all researched by Liu Jian and then passed on to the chef of the restaurant.
Today, the number of dishes in the restaurant has increased to sixty.
This is what Liu Jian has learned.
After he learned the dishes, he passed them on to the chefs in the restaurant one by one. However, the chefs in the restaurant do not have Liu Jian's talent nor his ability. They are divided into different categories.?Learning, each learning a batch of dishes.
Jin Wuque stood beside Du Qi, his face was a little excited, but still a little uneasy, he said worriedly: "My lord, it's already high in the sun, although it's too early for noon. But the opening of the restaurant, we Publicized it early. Up to now, no one has come, and the villain is a little worried."
Du Qi said lightly: "The smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, what's more, our restaurant has already carried out publicity. You don't have to worry about the popularity of the restaurant. What you have to consider is how to deal with the popularity of the restaurant. Especially now that it's still early, every household has some things to do, even if you want to come out, you have to deal with the things at home."
"yes!"
Jin answered without a flaw.
After he finished Du Qi's words, he stopped talking and waited quietly.
At Sishi in the morning, there were indeed not many people. But at the end of Sishi, the number of people on the street has increased, and many people have come directly towards the direction of the restaurant.
Many people began to watch.
Especially there are dishes to try on the streets. When people try them, they are immediately amazed. Because the taste of these cold dishes is indeed delicious, eating it is completely enjoyable on the tip of the tongue.
After the people tasted it, some people thought it was delicious, so they couldn't wait to enter the restaurant regardless of the time, and ordered to order.
This is already attracted by the taste.
Someone entered the restaurant, and the woman who owned the restaurant was in charge of reception, but Du Qi and Jin Wuque didn't bother. While Du Qi was waiting, suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he saw an old figure appearing on the street.
The person who came was Li Yuan.
However, Li Yuan's visit today is a private visit in Weifu. He was wearing ordinary clothes. Although he was accompanied by guards, the guards were also plainly dressed, hiding their identities so that they would not be discovered.
Seeing this, Du Qi strode forward to meet Li Yuan. He walked to Li Yuan's side and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, please!"
After hearing this, Li Yuan smiled lightly.
Du Qi, this kid, has extraordinary eyesight, and he is very good.
"Lead the way!"
Li Yuan gave an order.
Du Qi took Li Yuan and walked inside, and then handed over the rest to Jin Wuque. After he brought Li Yuan in, he went straight to the elegant room on the second floor of the restaurant.
This is a special private room.
In particular, the location of this private room is very good. Looking at the back, you can see the pavilions, pavilions, rockery and flowing water in the backyard through the back window. Now in early May, lotus leaves have already grown in the pond in the backyard, even earlier All the lotus flowers are in bud, and the scenery is very pleasant.
As for the inner windows, you can also see the vast restaurant lobby clearly through the windows. In this restaurant, there is a part suspended in the middle. From the top to the bottom, you can see the situation in the lobby.
Now that there are no outsiders, Du Qi said: "Your Majesty, please sit down!"
Li Yuan sat down straight away, and jokingly said, "Du Erlang, you can say that after the restaurant opens, it will make a lot of money every day and make countless money. Only in this way can you recruit more veterans. But when I entered the restaurant, Now it is deserted, not many people come. The hundreds of people hired here, the daily expenses are quite a lot. It is not easy for you to pay back your money!"
Du Qi said to himself: "Your Majesty, it's still early, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."
Li Yuandao: "You are stable. It's not bad to have such confidence and bearing at such a young age."
Du Qidao: "Your Majesty is absurd."
Li Yuan changed the subject and asked again: "I have eaten all the food in the palace now. Today is your first dish in the world. Are you going to give me a taste of what food?"
After a pause, Li Yuan said: "Speaking of the five characters 'The Best Vegetable in the World' on the plaque of your restaurant, these five characters are inscribed by King Qin. Your tea has an inscription by King Qin. Now the restaurant has an inscription by King Qin .It is not easy to get the King of Qin to write an inscription for you, you boy."
