It's a bit interesting, but the key point is that the emperor found that he was really hungry from the smell.

The first person in the group to act was Eunuch De. He picked up the bamboo stick and was about to give His Majesty a taste when he heard the young man say wisely: "It's windy outside. How about you and the young man go in and sit down?" Let’s taste it slowly?”

The emperor glanced at the people around him who were standing in line to try the food, but said nothing. The lobby was full of people, there was a steaming pot on every table, and there were no empty seats as far as he could see.

The waiter kept walking and led them straight into the private room.

Imperial Ambassador Zuo had been holding back something to say.

As soon as the waiter left, he couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, you don't go out of the palace often, maybe you haven't noticed, this is obviously a black shop!"

The emperor took a piece of mutton skewers that Eunuch De had already taken off and tasted, and asked absently: "Oh?"

The imperial envoy Zuo spoke righteously: "We didn't say we wanted to dine in. The waiter tricked us into going to the private room, saying it was a free tasting. Later, people would definitely force us to dine. Otherwise, he would just make up a clever name and charge some money." Exorbitant fees!”

He spoke eloquently, and the emperor was enjoying his meal. When he found that no one else was doing anything, he simply ate all the mutton skewers he had just presented, and then he felt a little tired.

Just then, the waiter came back with a pot of tea, poured a cup for everyone with quick hands and feet, and then left again.

The emperor stopped him and asked: "What price should I pay?"

The waiter cracked his white teeth and said, "Look at what you said, guest officer. We agreed that we won't charge any money. It's free."

Zuo Yushi took a step forward, his face full of confidence that "I have already seen through you": "Then what is the price of the tea?"

The waiter bowed: "It's just a few glasses of water, so it's nothing."

Seeing that he really had no intention of collecting money, Zuo Yu was dumbfounded, but he still insisted on his opinion——

"To show your courtesy for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief!"

The emperor didn't say much, he just took the lead and walked out. The waiter's smile did not change at all, and he was still warm and polite: "Sir, please go slowly! You are welcome to come again next time!"

But the emperor stopped and laughed: "This pot in your shop is quite novel. How do you eat it?"

The waiter's smile instantly became more real: "Is this your first time here, sir? Ours is called charcoal stove hot pot. The thick soup base boiled over high fire is always simmered over charcoal fire, and then you put your favorite vegetables in and cook it. It’s enough to just eat it as it is with a mild taste. If you like other flavors, you can also make your own dipping sauce!”

The imperial envoy Zuo was dumbfounded as the emperor sat back down again and really had lunch here.

As an emperor who has self-denial in his bones and blood, he only tried three kinds of sauces in total, but each one made him admire and reminisce.

Looking at Zuo Yushi's fuss, the emperor said confidently: "Didn't Zuo Yushi say that they are either traitors or thieves, or that they are still a gangster? Then let's have a meal and see what kind of blackmail they can do. .”

As a result, a large table of meat and vegetable dishes was finished, and the bill was only two taels of silver. This was because the dishes ordered by the emperor were relatively expensive, and the ones in the hall outside cost less than one tael.

The emperor, who had eaten and drank enough, brought the waiter some tea to relieve his tiredness. The expression on the imperial envoy Zuo's face was somewhat meaningful.

"Is this the 'black shop' that Imperial Ambassador Zuo calls?"

"I don't know when private restaurants became so affordable. One tael of silver is already a deceptive price. According to this statement, anyone whose price exceeds this pot can be regarded as a profiteer?"

Zuo Yushi was speechless. Just to show his integrity, he didn't take a bite. Now even the lingering fragrance of the remaining soup base seemed to be mocking him.

It shouldn’t be, the bustle in the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. Isn’t it just to make a fortune when the Xiao family went to all the trouble to build such a pot shop?

The emperor left with satisfaction, but the imperial envoy Zuo still did not believe in evil. After a few days, he sent someone to guard the place... The person who guarded the place couldn't help but eat a few meals, but he couldn't find any evidence.

It's not like he never thought about throwing some mice and cockroaches into the pot, or looking for someone to cause trouble and frame him, but he couldn't find any chance.

The back kitchen of Yangyangyang Restaurant is like an iron bucket. The cooks responsible for cooking the soup base are not only skilled in cooking, but they are still stubborn towards the shopkeeper. The most outrageous thing is that when they encounter lobbyists, they will directly send them away. Got to the Yamen.

It was also at that time that Yushi Zuo realized that most of the people employed in this shop were veterans or their family members who had been on the battlefield. These people's sincerity for the Xiao family was probably not much worse than that of His Majesty.

In the eyes of the veterans who had come out of a life-and-death struggle, their little tricks were simply childish. There was no way to go. The strong Zuo Yushi was not discouraged. He went to look for the owners of other restaurants and restaurants. Use those jealous hearts to form a team to deal with the sheep and sheep.

Something even more difficult for him to understand happened. Not long after, several more restaurants also served the pot. The smell seemed to be very similar to that of Yangyangyang.

According to the shopkeepers of these shops, these are called franchise stores. Their boss, Li Muyan, said that he would open this hot pot shop to more places before the cold winter, so that more people can have a warm winter.

Zuo Yushi's eyebrows twitched when he heard this. These shopkeepers even asked his people: "Brothers, do you want to join us together? The price is fair and we can't bully you!"

What do the Xiao family want? Small profits but quick turnover?

Xiaoxiao had long heard about the idea of ​​her second brother's hotpot restaurant, but she wasn't worried at all. She was still taking care of her flowers and plants.

Ning An told her: "Although you set the franchise fee very low, there are still people who follow our example regardless of their face."

Xiaoxiao waved her hand and said it was okay: "Making the pot itself is not difficult."

Ning An replied: "Then what is rare?"

Xiaoxiao chuckled: "Brother, do you think the carbon I sent you is different from ordinary carbon?"

Ning Anhui was also a quick-thinking person, and it didn't take long for him to go back and count the money with his hands behind his back.

Not long after, those hotpot restaurants that followed the trend closed down one by one and started to redo their old businesses. The reason was that the smoke from the charcoal fire was so heavy that they couldn’t eat at all. Only then did they realize belatedly that in any Yangyangyang’s shop, There is no smoke during the whole process of boiling the pot.

The emperor recently asked for a lot of hot pot dipping sauce from Xiao Ran. He was already very surprised, but this morning he heard another good news.

The daughter of the Xiao family built a charcoal-burning workshop in the house he gave her, and then...she burned fake and cheap smokeless charcoal.

"In other words, in the future, people can use better smokeless carbon at the same price as ordinary carbon?"

Senior sister must have done too many good things, so she gave Daxia such a lucky star!

What surprised more people was that not long after the smokeless carbon was developed, she sold the recipe to the Li family and gave them full responsibility for the production of smokeless carbon. She only had to bear the name of the partner.

Li Muyan himself was shocked: "Really give it to me?" Or at such a casual price? In his opinion, there was no difference between this and the one given to him.

Xiaoxiao nodded: "There is only one requirement. The charcoal-burning workshop must give priority to hiring veterans, and they must not dismiss them without reasonable reasons."
