Above the sea, the wind is strong and the waves are strong.

There were a few people standing beside Pei Weixuan, and the one on the left was Huo Ye, the head of the black-armored bodyguard.

Huo Ye looked at the endless and magnificent sea, and couldn't believe that they went out to sea. A few months ago, they were all in hiding.

Until he found the little highness, the little highness led the black-armored guards and robbed two official ships.

They even sold the iron ore and coal mines on the official ship quietly, and sold them for a large sum of money without disturbing the court and officers and soldiers.

The two official ships were also led by His Highness to a small island near the sea.

His Highness led them, during which they robbed the official ship again, and sold the iron ore and coal mine again.

It seemed that the imperial court and the Empress Dowager Fu in the palace were mad, and many officers and soldiers, as well as soldiers stationed in the southwest, were sent to suppress the bandits on both sides of the canal.

I thought it was the official ship stolen by the two water bandits.

Huo Ye is also familiar with the two waves of water bandits, and there is one wave that commits all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing, looting and everything.

His Highness led them to subdue another wave of water bandits.

Although this wave of water bandits robbed things, they didn't kill anyone, and what they robbed were all the goods of unjust merchants. There were still many old, weak, sick and disabled in the village. The owner of the village was a kind-hearted man.

Because His Highness led them to rob the official ship twice, Empress Dowager Fu almost dispatched half of the soldiers guarding the border town in the southwest.

This wave of water bandits was beaten helplessly and surrounded, if not for the little highness who led people to attack and rescued them all, everyone in the village would have died.

His Highness subdued this wave of water bandits, and his family members were taken to the island, and they were allowed to live on the island for the time being.

But this wave of water bandits didn't know the identity of His Highness, they usually called His Highness their master, so these people didn't know His Highness was the former fourth prince.

The black-armored guard is absolutely loyal and will never reveal His Highness's identity to outsiders.

Later, His Royal Highness took them on the small island and changed several official ships into a big ship like this.

Originally, they didn't know how to build a ship, but during the period, His Royal Highness just looked at the ship when it was being dismantled, and then understood everything. His Highness taught them how to change it.

Such a ship is not an exaggeration to say that it is a giant ship.

Huo Ye also asked His Highness what to do to build this ship.

His Highness told him, "Go to sea."

He also asked blankly, "Your Highness, what are you doing at sea?"

In their view, there is nothing else to do besides fishing.

Even for fishing, it is overkill to use such a huge boat. The fishing boats of ordinary fishermen on the seaside are only a little bigger, and one official boat can be worth ten ordinary fishing boats.

Not to mention this giant ship.

His Highness said, "Go to sea to find other countries, those places have what we need."

If it can be found, it will not only become a sharp weapon against the Empress Dowager Fu, but also benefit tens of thousands of people in the Dasheng Dynasty.

Huo Ye was stunned, "But Your Highness, isn't the other side of the sea also the sea? How can there be other countries?"

No one knows what is on the other side of the sea, but some travel notes say that the other side of the sea is still the sea, uninhabited, and there is nothing in the sea except for one small island after another. There may be some savages on the small islands. But how can there be a country's population hidden on the island?

His Highness did not tell him how to hide people on small overseas islands.

But His Highness told him that he will definitely go out this time.

So Huo Ye selected some people and went to sea with His Highness.

Apart from Huo Ye, those who followed were some other black-armored guards, and the two of the water bandits who had been subdued before were not the boss of the water bandits. The boss of the water bandits was Chen Yi, who stayed on the island to take care of his home . Following him was a sturdy bald man named Datou, who was skilled in martial arts. The big head said that he had a big head when he was a child, so his family called him big head. Later, when all his family members died in the famine, he almost starved to death. Chen Yi picked him up and took him back to the village.

The other is a frail scholar in the village, who should be regarded as the military advisor of the village, named Chen He.

It was picked up by Chen Yi by the river. When he picked it up, Chen He was only ten years old, and he didn't know anything about it. don't know if he forgot his life experience or refused to tell.

Later, Chen Yi took him back to the stockade and named him Chen He.

Chen He and Datou stood on the other side of Pei Weixuan.

The sturdy big head looked at the scene of the sun in the distance, and said in shock, "It's really, really beautiful."

Standing on the deck, Pei Weixuan, with a slender figure and ink-painted eyebrows, was looking at the sunset in the distance.

The sea breeze made his clothes rustle, and the hair on his temples was also blown messily.

He had a calm face, and even though it was his first time to go to sea, he didn't have the slightest fear.

They have only been at sea for two days.

In this way, after another half a month, everyone was a little bored, and a group of big men practiced martial arts on the deck all day long.

Other than that, all were a little thinner.

So a cook was brought on board, along with a lot of dry bread.

All day long, either eat bread that is as hard as a rock, or the cook cooks, but the cook is also temporarily pulled out from among the black-armored guards. Needless to say, the cooking taste is just cooked. After eating like this for more than half a month, Naturally can't stand it.

Even Huo Ye couldn't help licking the corners of his mouth after eating like this for more than half a month. He especially missed the sauce pancakes and pork jerky that His Highness brought when he went to look for them in the bamboo forest of Yuanbao Town. still don't forget the taste.

That was done by Xu Qinyu.

His Highness also said that she would like to open a restaurant and a restaurant in the future.

I hope that when they go back, Mrs. Xu's restaurant has already opened, and he can have a meal with his stomach open.

Every morning and sunset, Pei Weixuan would come to the deck to watch the wind and weather.

This morning, Pei Weixuan looked at the distant waves, the wind, and the weather in the sky. After seeing it, his eyebrows frowned slightly.

When the sun set, he observed the wind and weather again, and finally said: "When we meet a small island again, we must stop there and rest for a few days."

Huo Ye said: "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

Pei Weixuan said: "In three days, there will be great wind, waves and heavy rain."

Huo Ye naturally knew how dangerous it would be if there were heavy rain and strong winds and waves on the sea. The fishermen who lived and fished by the sea were most afraid of this kind of weather. He immediately said: "Okay, we will stop when we meet an island again."

Even such a huge ship, in this boundless sea area, is just like a flat boat, which will be blown to pieces in an instant.

It was lucky, and after walking for two days, came across a small island.

The next day, heavy rain came, and the waves in the distant sea were fierce, like a giant beast devouring the world.

Everyone's expressions changed. If they continued to sail in the sea in such weather, there would be no way to survive.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness can watch the weather, otherwise this trip to the sea will only be a near-death experience.

Huo Ye couldn't help but worry. His Highness didn't make it clear what he wanted to do on this trip to the sea. He only said that there are other countries overseas, and there are things that His Highness wants. The weapon of the imperial court? But what kind of weapons can resist the 100,000 army of the imperial court?

A few days later, everyone returned to the ship to continue sailing.

Everyone didn't know what they would encounter on this voyage and whether they could come back alive, but they were all willing to follow Pei Weixuan on this trip.

...

Half a month has passed, and the panpan of Xu Ji Restaurant is full of people, and there are even many people who are willing to join the table, just to eat a bite of the morning and evening meals made by Xu Qinyu.

The daily income of Xu Ji Restaurant is now a few taels more, because there are more customers ordering roast lamb chops.

Now there is no need for Xu Qinyu to bake on the iron mesh and the charcoal fire, she found someone to build an 'oven'.

In fact, it is a bread kiln. The principle is similar to that of an oven. There are quite a lot of things that can be baked.

Also called a kiln.

Xu Qinyu drew a good picture, and specially asked the master who built the stove to help her build it.

After building, wait for air-drying, and then burn the fire to make the kiln shape and ready to use.

This thing is just like the modern version of the oven, which can save a lot of time. In addition to roasting lamb chops, it can also roast chicken and duck, and bake all kinds of bread, cake, egg tarts, candied fruit, and dried fruits.

Pay attention to the heat. On weekdays, she can help her dry all kinds of ingredients, help her dry wild mushrooms, and grind it into powder to make seasoning seasoning, not to mention how convenient it is.

Roasted lamb chops can also be baked in one kiln and one kiln. When baking, pay attention to the heat and turn it over, so that it tastes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Although grilled lamb chops are expensive, there are quite a few people who like to eat them. They sell about ten copies every evening at dinner, and many of them are bought by wealthy merchants who specially send slaves to buy them.

But this thing got hot. Xu Qinyu cooked mung bean syrup every day and gave it to diners who ordered roast lamb chops. If other diners wanted to drink mung bean soup, they had to pay four cents per bowl.

There are also other signs of the restaurant, bald butter bibimbap or bald butter bibimbap.

At first, no one bought this, but some people who could afford it thought about why a bibimbap and bibimbap cost 200 cents, so ordered one to try it.

Looking at a small bowl full of golden and shiny paste, the aroma is compelling, pour it on the rice and stir it, the entrance is simply amazing, not to mention the fresh fragrance, and the glutinous taste, with a hint of The sweetness, the sourness of the balsamic vinegar, the taste is distinct, but the layers are gradually mixed in the mouth to create a different taste.

It's addictive after just eating it once.

So not many people started to buy it. In the past half a month, the reputation of bald butter bibimbap has spread.

But to do this trouble, people need to remove the crab meat and crab roe.

Brother Cheng is also very busy, and there is not a single person in the restaurant that is not busy, so it takes a few days to make some bald butter, and it is basically reserved before it is made.

It's only been half a month since it opened, and Xu Qinyu was exhausted. She pinched her waist. It was already thin, but it felt even thinner. She must have lost some weight.

Every time Mrs Wen saw her eyes, she felt distressed, but she couldn't persuade her to say anything. In the restaurant, she did all the work she could do.

Ning Jie'er was completely left to do the bag work, and she only devoted herself to helping Yu Niang every day.

Fortunately, Sister Tao, who has recently become a brother, always finds Ning Jie'er to play with, and Sister Tao is also very popular. Now Ning Jie takes Sister Tao to make bags together.

There is Mr. Gui at home, and Mr. Gui can do the work at home with two children.

When Gui Shi was working, he asked Hei Yu to take good care of Brother Feng and Sister Xian. Whenever Hei Yu saw them passing by the well or going to the gate, he would yell at Gui Shi. He was also a housekeeper and babysitter. good hand.

Because she was too tired, Xu Qinyu planned to take a day off in the restaurant every half a month, otherwise her body would not be able to take it anymore. She made money to live a better life, so she couldn't be exhausted.

So when eating in the morning and in the evening, Xu Qinyu asked Mrs. Chen and the others to tell the diners that they would not open tomorrow and that everyone in the restaurant would rest for a day.

Although the diners were a little reluctant, they all expressed their understanding.

Since it is a rest, naturally will not continue to make fish balls and fish heads.

The next day, Xu Qinyu had a good rest for the whole day. She didn't do any work, and she didn't have to cook. It was Wen who did it.

Apart from going out to eat during morning and evening meals, Xu Qinyu lay on the bed for a whole day and slept for a whole day, not to mention how comfortable she was, and her whole body was completely relieved.

...

The reputation of Xu Ji Restaurant has also spread to Wen's family.

A few days ago, the Wen family divided the three rooms out, and the old man Wen immediately sent someone to buy six servants and returned.

If you want to have a group of servants like before, it is definitely not possible to stretch out your hands for clothes and open your mouth for food. These servants are only responsible for sweeping, washing and cooking in the house.

After all, if there are too many servants, it will cost a lot of money, and the money must be saved.

When selecting servants in the tooth shop, the Wen family specifically asked for someone who could cook.

The servant who can cook is a man in his thirties. It is said that he is the cook of the official family. After the family ransacked the house, he was sold again.

That's why it was bought back by the Wen family.

After buying it back, the Wen family asked this person to cook a meal, which was indeed better than what Aunt Bai and Meng's cooked, but that was also because the food made by Aunt Bai and Meng's was too unpalatable.

Compared with the cooks in Donglaiju, the servants are not even as good as the assistant cooks, let alone the chefs of restaurants.

Wen Yunling originally expected that this servant would be skilled, but in the end he was only extremely disappointed.

She was planning to open a restaurant because she wanted to find a famous chef.

If you don't find a famous chef, even if you open a restaurant, the taste is not as good as Donglaiju, so the business will naturally lose money.

She is still wide awake.

But famous chefs are not so easy to find. The best food she has eaten in Yuanbao Town is Donglaiju. He was willing to follow her to the new restaurant, but just as he said it, the chef turned around and left with a droopy face.

Make her so angry.

So she kept looking for other famous chefs.

It's not that she insists on opening a restaurant, it's that food and clothing are at the top of the list, food is the most important thing for the people, and she has never been in touch with other livelihoods. If she can't find contacts, she can't do other livelihoods. Opening a restaurant doesn't matter. , As long as you can find a chef, you can open it, and restaurants are also extremely profitable, which can be said to be more profitable than many other businesses.

Because when she was in the capital, she knew the daughter-in-law of the owner of Jixianglou, the largest restaurant in the capital, and knew that Jixianglou could earn at least ten thousand taels of silver every month.

But that's also because the Jixiang Building is huge, eight or nine shop-sized, six-storey restaurants, the business is extremely hot, and there are no empty seats every day.

That's why she wanted to open a restaurant wholeheartedly.

Since the food cooked by this servant at home tastes so-so, she doesn't expect him to be the chef for her restaurant.

The taste is mediocre, but Donglaiju's food is delicious, so Wen Yunling often goes to Donglaiju to eat morning and night.

But it's not every day, it's just every now and then.

Recently, when she went to Donglaiju for meals, she always heard people talking about Xuji Restaurant.

When she came to eat the morning meal today, she heard the diners beside her talking about Xu Ji Restaurant.
