Chapter 157
1. All kinds of tea and rice, dedicated to hard work
It's April, the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and it's already warming up in Capital City.
People are also a lot lazy.
It wasn't long before Pei Nianyu ate and wiped away his loyal dog's relationship. In addition, the weather was hot, and the black clothes on a certain shadow guard's body were reduced layer by layer, and the close-fitting clothes vaguely showed some handsome muscleslines come.
A certain prince has no taboos about eating meat, except for the daily martial arts practice during the day, and occasionally helping to keep an eye on the two apprentices' shop decoration work, naturally he can't wait to spend eight hours a day on Lou Yefeng's body.
It's a pity that there are always people who don't let him continue to live this fairy life.
As the night darkened that night, even the shadow guards of the palace had finished their shifts.Pei Nianyu was about to hug Ye Feng to bed and kiss him, but an unexpected guest appeared in Hanqiu Pavilion.
He looked at the man who asked his maid for supper and snacks as soon as he arrived, with a very unkind expression on his face:
"I said Xiao Sheng, although you are still single, it is not a good brother to disturb our business at this point."
Pei Niancheng swallowed a piece of pastry whole, without saying a word, his expression was neither salty nor dull, which made Pei Nianyu wonder whether he had facial paralysis.
"one doesn't visit a temple without a cause, tell me, what's the matter?"
Pei Niancheng swallowed the snack, and took a sip from the teacup in one hand.The other finger tapped on the table, and knocked twice, with a serious and steady tone, which made Pei Nianyu seem to see some kind of veteran cadre sitting in the office:
"Spring plowing. The batch of corn seeds you gave before has been sown. Now the season is just right, you'd better give me a few more batches, so that I can arrange to plant them together."
Pei Nianyu frowned. Although he could handle this matter, Xiao Sheng's tone of arranging work really made him uncomfortable.
So he stretched out a finger, and slowly dragged the dim sum plate away from Pei Niancheng's hand:
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. Look at you, you have gained weight twice this spring!"
Pei Niancheng was stunned for a moment, he had been in the "emperor who worked hard" for a long time recently, and none of the subordinates below were respectful.At this moment, he was suddenly taken aback, and the stern expression finally cracked:
"Hey!"
I don't know if Pei Nianyu's tone of voice finally made him get back to the mode of getting along with his family. His expression suddenly relaxed, and his brows and eyes finally showed a little vivacity of a young man with a weak crown.
Li Han couldn't help explaining for the master:
"Master has been busy with government affairs recently, reviewing official documents until late at night, and always wants to eat some snacks..."
Pei Nianyu's tone was cool:
"Sitting for a long time and eating snacks at night, you deserve to be fat. I said Xiao Sheng, if you keep getting fat like this, your Li Han will not love you anymore."
"I……"
Pei Nianyu was just talking nonsense, Pei Niancheng was used to not hearing it, and Li Han next to him had a stiff expression for a moment:
"...Don't make fun of your subordinates, my lord."
Pei Nianyu couldn't bear to tease the honest man anymore, so he turned to discuss the business:
"Okay, I'll let the shadow guard deliver the things you want to you later. As for the next batch...after the wheat is harvested in summer?"
Pei Nianyu's recent food value has been used to exchange various seeds in the system, and it is almost exhausted.Fortunately, the two stores under his name are basically completed and are about to open, and there will be a steady stream of food value in the account.
"Okay, I'll wait for news from my brother."
Pei Niancheng didn't talk much, and after talking about the important things, he went back to the palace to continue working on his government affairs. When he left, he packed a lot of snacks from his brother's house.Pei Nianyu shook his head. Xiao Sheng has been busy all year long, and it seems that he never has time to relax.
As Pei Nianyu was on task, he began to figure out the specific operating details of the two stores.
However, his task is much easier than Xiao Sheng's. After the store's business starts, after all, he has two apprentices to manage it. He only needs to take in a few more apprentices after the business stabilizes——Xiang Ping'en and He YanjunThe teacher has been calculated, and the principles and skills that should be taught have been taught almost, and the rest of the cooking skills can only be practiced slowly by themselves.
………………
Maybe it was a bit late the night before, and Lou Yefeng couldn't bear to wake him up too early to practice martial arts on the second day, but went to meditate and practice before calling his master.
Anyway, Pei Nianyu finished his breakfast and it was almost noon, He Yanjun and Xiang Pingen had already gone to the shop, so he took Lou Yefeng to find the two apprentices.
"We have checked the date, and it will be a good day after seven days. It is appropriate to open a fortune. What does Master think?"
"Seven days, it's about the same. I see that you have almost completed the decoration and recruited workers. Now the last thing you need to confirm is the menu and so on. Do you each have any ideas?"
Although the stores of these two people are both operated under Pei Nianyu's guidance, they are slightly different in nature.
Although He Yanjun's Wangfu Dim Sum Shop is a bit small, the shop was originally her own property, and He Qi's private money was used for the start-up capital.The only part she needs to discuss about revenue cooperation is that the daily raw materials used by the dim sum shop are supplied from the Zhuangzi of the Wangfu.
On the other hand, Xiang Ping's restaurant is much larger.Although it is not as grand as the three-storey restaurant in the Drunk Immortal building opposite, his shop was originally connected by several storefronts opened horizontally along the street by the previous owner, which is almost equivalent to those large flat-storey stores in the food city of the later shopping malls..
And the entire restaurant was bought in the name of King Yu Palace, but he let Xiang Ping En manage it all.
He Yanjun already had a plan: "I only recruited a small worker here, and I have to do the rest by myself. So I don't plan to do too much in a day, and I will stop doing it every morning after I finish the day's portion and put it on the shelves."
"As for the types... a few basic flavors of dim sum are the fixed types. When I recruit young apprentices in the future, I will start with these basic types. Other fancy dim sum depends on the mood. It is different every day, or what?After researching new dim sum styles every day, we will serve new ones.”
Pei Nianyu couldn't help but chuckled.He has taught He Yanjun for so long, so he naturally knows this apprentice's talent in developing dim sum.
In addition, the taste and taste of Wangfu's dim sum are far superior to those on the market, but she has come up with such a way to randomly add new and limited quantities every day depending on her mood."I have to queue up every day.
"Good idea, I have no problem. What about Pingen?"
Different from He Yanjun's original intention, He Yanjun has a title and doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. Opening this dim sum shop is just for her former long-cherished wish and the memory of her elder brother who passed away, so she can do whatever she wants every day according to her mood.Xiang Ping'en still wants to work hard towards making money, so his plan is more conventional:
"I'm the only chef, and I've hired a few handymen, and now it's not the time to directly conflict with the Drunk Immortal building opposite...so I don't plan to make any big dishes on the menu,Let’s focus on high-quality small dishes that are hard to find in the market. In addition, most restaurants in Capital City mainly serve northern tastes.
Pei Nianyu nodded:
"Yes, southern cuisine is more in line with the exquisite cuisine you want, and it doesn't hurt to increase the proportion. It's just that the seasoning can be slightly adjusted to the style of northern cuisine, and it doesn't have to be too sweet."
"The other row of shelves along the street, I'm going to put all kinds of snacks, which are the ones that you usually cook in your house, Master. Spicy rabbit heads, cold skewers, grilled cold noodles... and so on. These snacks are not difficult to make, teaching small workers will know it. People who pass by along the street can take these things away after buying them, and they will sell faster.”
He Yanjun suddenly interjected:
"Then I should hire someone to sell milk tea at the entrance of my pastry shop. Snacks go with drinks. There are so many kinds of milk tea in our palace. Master, you still have enough milk every day in your mansion. It's better than wasting it."
Pei Nianyu: "..."
Good guy, you two are afraid that this street is not congested enough, right? He can imagine how popular things like milk tea will be after they go on sale.
But his own goal is to earn food value, the more he sells, the more he earns, so he naturally has no objection to these two apprentices selling more affordable snacks.
"Then it's settled. You guys count the types of raw materials you need every day, and give them to me, and then I will go to Zhuangzi to make a delivery plan with the Zhuangtou."
"yes."
……………
Pei Nianyu saw that they each had a plan in mind, so he didn't worry about it any more, and prepared to go back home to make up for the missing martial arts practice today.
Thinking of being able to see Ye Feng again while practicing martial arts... Pei Nianyu couldn't help but feel a little joy in his heart.
It's just that when they came back today, they heard some different voices in the mansion——
"Why do you think our master got up late today instead?"
Another voice spoke calmly:
"Then who knows, what is there to think about."
The first voice chuckled:
"Could it be that our Master Xie made Master unable to get up last night. Not to mention, our upstairs teacher's martial arts has recovered and is still so powerful, maybe it's actually our Master Xie who is up there..."
The King Yu Palace occupies quite a large area, he and Lou Yefeng entered and exited the palace without any hassle, so today a shadow guard who was hiding in the dark was discussing gossip and they passed by and listened to it.
Pei Nianyu pursed his lips slightly when he heard this, and didn't feel angry. He just thought it was quite interesting for these shadow guards to speculate about the appearance of Master Xi x.
However, when he looked back, he saw that Lou Yefeng's face was ashen, and the deep anger in those black eyes seemed to set someone on fire.
"Eh……"
Before he could say anything, he saw the black shadow beside him had already rushed out.But within three breaths, he grabbed the tongue-twisting shadow guard from the corridor where he was hiding, and threw him in front of Pei Nianyu.
The shadow guard saw Master Xi personally arresting people, his face turned pale with fright, and he knelt down in front of his master tremblingly, not daring to raise his head at all.
Lou Yefeng stared at him for a long while without opening his mouth, the heavy air pressure was on top of his head, the shadow guard was terrified, he was already sweating through his heavy clothes after kneeling for only a moment.
After a while, Lou Yefeng spoke slowly:
"You say what you just said, and say it again in front of the master."
"Subordinates dare not!"
What he said just now was "their master was suppressed overnight", how could the shadow guard dare to repeat it?
"Just now... it was my subordinate who made a slip of the tongue. This subordinate knows his mistake, so he will accept the punishment himself."
Pei Nianyu saw that the shadow guard looked young, and he didn't recognize his name, so he knew that it was a new shadow guard in the past few years.With less experience of swords, lights and swords, it is inevitable to be a little frivolous.But Lou Yefeng was so scared just now, so he must have long remembered it.
"Ye Feng, forget it. Usually, their shadow guards can't help talking in private, as long as it doesn't involve security or confidentiality. If you punish him today, even if they don't dare to talk about it again, they can't help but murmur in their hearts."
"Owner!"
Lou Yefeng really didn't understand what the master was thinking this time, so he couldn't help saying:
"They just say it in private. I heard a lot of it a few days ago, but this time the foul language is, it is..."
Pei Nianyu finally realized that Lou Yefeng, the co-author, was concerned about this. Their shadow guards taught Master Xi how to be oppressed, but not master.
This……
Pei Nianyu was a little funny, looking at the angry Ye Feng who was standing there, couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch his face, and teased him:
"Every night before, this king wanted to hear you say something, but you refused, and you always endured it, fearing that they would hear what you said. If you obeyed me obediently, how could there be such misunderstandings?"
Lou Yefeng stood there in a daze for an instant, his face turned from blue to red quickly.
"Master...you..."
"OK OK."
Pei Nianyu waved away the terrified little shadow guard, gently embraced him, and comforted him with a light kiss:
"Why do you care about this kind of thing? I said earlier that since I have promised you for the rest of my life, of course you can take my body. I really hope that, as he said, one day I can be crushed by you so much."One night, unfortunately you always refuse."
Lou Yefeng shook his head slowly but firmly: "I know what the master wants, but the subordinates don't want to do that."
Pei Nianyu sighed softly. He knew that Ye Feng had been a subordinate for a long time, and most of him admired him in his heart. He probably thought it was an insult or something.
Pei Nianyu can't force other people's ideas, anyway, he hasn't tasted enough of his own loyal dog's body, so let's leave it at that.
"Master, let's practice martial arts first, I still have something to take care of."
Pei Nianyu raised his eyebrows: "You don't mean to settle accounts with that shadow guard just now, do you?"
"No, I have something to do with He Qi."
"Well, then you go."
