Chapter 620: Top Secret Incident

The business business is not a fat man, starting from the agency store, then the franchise store, and then there is Yulong hot and cold drinks, which is a good start. There is a seasonal limit for cold drinks www.biquge.info, summer is the peak season, and it can't be so popular in winter after autumn. But it's not without customers, big families are bought for home, children like to eat sweets, but also like cold food, but autumn and winter cold drinks are not the peak season, should sell hot drinks.

A similar exotic light box advertisement outside the door of "Yulong Hot and Cold Drinks" posted such a notice: "When autumn comes, our store will provide cold drinks at the same time, and launch new hot drinks such as hot fresh milk, milk tea, coffee, fruit tea, black tea, osmanthus tea, jasmine tea, stomach nourishing hot drink Ziren soup, honey decoction, and Malan warm apertoid, welcome the parents and sisters of the capital to patronize." "I thought that there would not be many people patronizing, after all, the people of the Qing Dynasty were more conservative and had to have a wait-and-see time for new things. Who knew that as soon as the notice was posted, someone would come to taste it. At this time, there were already coffee shops opened by Westerners in the capital, but nine out of ten of the people who entered their shops were Westerners, and the Qing people with long braids rarely frequented them. Yulong's hot and cold drinks are different, it tastes hot drinks in the shops opened by the Qing Dynasty people will not be scolded for forgetting their ancestors, coffee is a drink that Westerners like, but here it is mainly tea, fruit juice drinks and dairy products: tea has milk tea, fruit tea, black tea, green tea, flower tea are all tea, dairy products have milkshakes, double skin milk, cream, smoothies, milk pudding, cheese, etc. Fruit juice drink tea is the Central Plains culture, and coffee only occupies a small position. And there is also Ziren soup related to traditional Chinese medicine, which has a bit of dietary therapy. Honey and rice wine have a deep "Central Plains" brand.

The customers who enter the store are mainly noble sons with family backgrounds, as well as students, merchants, officials, and people from all walks of life. In the end, even the boudoir girl and the young grandmother came to patronize. Hot drinks are not only hot drinks, but also matching pastries, all kinds of pastries, such as hot fresh milk and milk tea, etc., although they are not Western food, they also have a bit of Western food. They not only enjoy hot drinks and pastries, but also enjoy the high-quality service here, and make people feel superior utensils, are high-purity glasses, plates, bowls, plates, chopsticks, stainless steel spoons, clean and exquisite, the clothes of the shop are all light blue overalls made by the house, it is comfortable to look at, the attitude is warm and thoughtful, the demeanor is elegant and moderate, there is no flattery and no groveling, that is, polite.

I thought that autumn and winter would become a low season, but it turned out to be very prosperous. Yun'er has a lot of recipes for making hot drinks, coupled with Tian Liang's regular hotel management model, which is used in Daqing stores, and more and more people come to taste hot drinks. Later, a banquet was formed, and some guests asked for more than a dozen kinds of pastries at the same time, and they couldn't finish eating and taking them away.

The cost here is not low, and the person who comes is also rich, and he does not care how much money he has, but whether he is happy to eat or not. Later, he had the capital to show off, and he took the dim sum of Yulong's cold drink as the center of his speech.

When you do the math, hot drinks have a higher turnover than cold drinks. Many of the Chinese people's hobbies are drinking tea, and Yulong cold drinks have become a teahouse in disguise. With the continuous introduction of various hot drinks, more and more people come here to taste them. The milk used to make popsicles, ice cream, and ice cream in the house has been turned into a hot drink, and it is not bad at all, and it is all used. Slowly, officials came here, and even the princes of the royal family, Baylor, and the grandfather of the country visited. Later, Prince Xian's wine brewing passed, and he also came here to try selling, and as a result, it became a fragrant flower that attracted butterflies, and he poured the mellow wine into a high-purity goblet without trying anything else, which gave people a feeling that was not ordinarily good! You don't have to drink the crimson wine, it's pleasing to the eye!

Tian Liang grasped every link here just right, first of all, safety, the pro-soldiers in the house took turns to take care of it, so as not to let the ruffians and hooligans smash the field; There are also fire prevention and anti-theft measures, no one can enter the financial department here, the income here is very high, and there are likely to be robbers who take risks. The financial personnel take another channel, and there are special vehicles to pick them up and drop them off when they go to work and home, so that no one can see their faces, so as not to be remembered by the gangsters and become the target of hijacking in the future. The second is hygiene, not only environmental hygiene, personnel and clothing, kitchen hygiene, but also the hygiene of the food itself can ensure absolute safety. Because Tian Liang has two microscopes, one of which is dedicated to examining the number of bacteria in food. Not once was it exceeded; There is also the hygiene of utensils, the cups, plates, dishes, chopsticks, spoons, etc. used by the previous wave of guests must be brought to the kitchen for high-temperature disinfection, that is, boiled and scalded with boiling water. Therefore, anyone who dined here did not have diarrhea, let alone poisoning.

Prince An and Prince Xian also came here to taste it. Of course, they are all coming in micro-suits, and they will definitely enter the private room. The walls here are thickened, so that the walls have ears, and what the guests say is heard by the next door, and then the one who speaks becomes the unlucky ghost who is fished.

The prince has a lot of flat thick glass in his hands, and he sandwiches the glass between the brick wall attached to the back, and it is difficult for the ears at the root of the wall to hear what the next door is saying.

"Fourth uncle, I didn't expect the second uncle's business to be like this, I have always been worried that he was deceived and lost his capital. You see the results...... The head is the way! That Mr. Tian used to be just a very ordinary little guard, and he was still stuffy, and he had to make a fortune in just one year, and he ran such a business, and others couldn't start if they wanted to learn it. Prince Xian and Prince An are tasting hot and cold drinks and new dim sum in a single room at the "Jade Dragon Hot and Cold Drinks". They are embarrassed to go to the mansion to eat for nothing, and they don't dare to go in and out of the Ruiwang Mansion often, for fear that the Queen Mother will take something as a handle, and they will come here if they have anything to say.

"Yes, this young man has a tough character. I followed your second uncle out to travel for a year, and the three of them seemed to have a great increase in knowledge. ”

The prince and Fujin were often summoned to the palace by the emperor and the queen mother to report on the progress of business. He clearly ordered the prince to produce salt by the sea in Tianjin. The prince did not agree immediately, but put a lot of practical difficulties with her, and the salt was not something that could be dried if she wanted to. The Queen Mother's purpose is twofold, one is that the Qing Dynasty is indeed short of salt, and drying salt can make money. One is that the queen mother wants to catch him through the prince to dry salt: self-drying of private salt, paving the way for when to clean him up.

I don't mention the matter of drying salt, why did I think of it again? The prince felt that the queen mother was going to be a moth again.

Whether in ancient times or in foreign lands, salt was purchased and sold by the state. Don't look at the small traders and hawkers can sell salt, which is also produced by the state, and private salt is absolutely not allowed to be dried by private individuals. The profit of salt is extremely high, and the country is poor, the price of salt is high, the profit is large, and the management is naturally tight, and there will be a situation of smuggling and smuggling salt. Not only salt, but also the treasury was empty to a certain extent, and all the necessities of life, such as iron and tea, were under the control of the state.

The prince has no position and no power, but he is not a person who does not understand politics, he knows that the queen mother wants to put herself into the trap of selling illicit salt, and before that, she must get enough of the benefits, and then kick it away.

He never said a word about the contradiction between the emperor's mother and son, but the queen mother gave herself such a hot potato behind the emperor's back, and she definitely couldn't take it. And the emperor must know about it, otherwise if he does what the queen mother says, the emperor will turn his face against him.

"Queen Mother, what you said is really embarrassing for the ministers. Drying salt, casting iron, and selling tea were all strictly controlled by the imperial court, and what the ministers and the other three learned were simple skills that they could accept, and they did not match salt at all. Do you want to ask the emperor? The emperor still understands more than the ministers in such a major matter. ”

"Then when you were in a foreign land, did you see how people sold salt?"

"Exotic salt is also controlled by the state, you can't dry it whenever you want, all the salt farms are state, we really don't care how people sell salt, the eldest sister goes out to buy vegetables and cooks ready-made meals for us."

"Alas, this palace also thinks that you have paid attention to the matter of salt, if you can learn to dry salt, our salt in the Qing Dynasty will not be very nervous, and naturally no one will take the risk of trafficking illicit salt. The profit of salt is still very large. Since you didn't learn this, forget it. As soon as she heard that she was going to discuss with the emperor, the queen mother retreated. Because she knew that if the emperor knew that he was pushing his imperial brother into the trap of illegally drying salt behind his back, the emotional rift with Eniang would be even greater.

"Don't take it to heart, this palace is for the country to be poor."

Fu Jin, who hadn't lost his temper for a long time, slapped the table when he came back angrily: "I've never seen such a shameless one!" ”

"Shh The prince closed the door, "What are you doing?" How do you catch fire? She has a thousand clever plans, and we have certain rules. ”

"Lord Wang, you said," Fu Jin lowered her voice, she knew that the glass wall would be very soundproof, and she still said very carefully, "The emperor will soon return to the sky, and at that time, won't it be the queen mother's world?" Let's not talk about business, it's hard to say whether there is a way to live. I mentioned this a few days ago, and it seems that we have to learn everything. Even if you come back from learning, you can't be so tricky, right? We can help them earn money when the treasury is short of money, but we can't treat it as a handful of baked cakes for us! ”

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, okay? No matter how high her position is, she is also a worldly person, and all she thinks about is her son's dragon chair, don't lose it. In fact, she is not completely to keep her son's dragon chair, but to keep the chair of the queen mother, for fear of following in the footsteps of Concubine Abahai. ”

"You're getting to the root of her."

The two were discussing the matter of drying salt, and the eunuch Huang Gonggong came to pass the word: "Lord, Gonggong Wu next to the emperor has sent you something." ”

"Let Gonggong Wu go to the Xiaoyao Hall to talk."

In the Xiaoyao Palace, after Wu Liangfu asked the prince to say goodbye, he said to the prince: "The emperor instructed the slave to send this box to you, please give the slave a receipt." ”

"Father-in-law has worked hard, please have a cup of tea and rest for a while."

"The minions obey."

"I don't know what's in the box."

"The slave didn't know that it was sent by the emperor on his behalf. The box is locked, and the minions can't open it. The emperor said that he personally handed over the key to you, I think it is a very important thing, right? ”

The prince knew that Wu Liangfu was the emperor's confidant, but this receipt could not be given to him. The emperor has always trusted himself, and he will not ask for any receipt, and giving Wu Liangfu a receipt is equivalent to having a handle in his hand, and when the time comes, he will copy his home according to this receipt. The emperor will soon return to the sky, and the queen mother must also clean up the people close to the emperor. Wu Liangfu was cleaned up by the auxiliary minister Sonny soon after the emperor drove the crane west. What is the role of giving him a receipt? is to pull himself to be a back, Sony doesn't dare to kill himself, he doesn't dare to kill Wu Liangfu, it's not that the emperor wants to receive it, it's Wu Liangfu who wants to receive it. Since it's a very secret matter, you can't let Wu Liangfu ask for any receipt from him!

"Do you want to taste the dishes that Fujin has recently tried to make? Come! Enjoy a table of exotic banquets for Wu Gonggong. ”

As soon as he heard about the exotic banquet, Wu Liangfu's heart was overjoyed. This guy is the most greedy, especially likes the wine and food of Ruiwangfu, and he fed the five internal organs to comfort first.

One person, eight dishes, accompanied by Mang Ge and Nalan, and wine to accompany the meal, Wu Liangfu drank cup after glass, completely treating wine as sugar water, and the result was that the stamina came up, he was drunk, and was sent back to the palace by Mang Ge Nalan.

After Wu Liangfu returned to the palace, the prince withdrew all the people and asked Tian Liang to open the lock on the box with a ******** given to him by the sea dragon when he was in a foreign land, and he was stunned when he saw the contents inside: a box of holy decrees! Among them is the decree that no one is allowed to ask the prince of Rui for money and exotic materials under any pretext; There is a holy decree that if the Imperial Forest Army goes to the house to confiscate the pro-soldiers, they can resist and refuse to confiscate, and kill the personality of the person who comes to confiscate; There is a holy decree that no one except the emperor himself can exert any pressure or even arrest the prince under any pretext; There is a holy decree that the chariots and horses of the Rui King's Mansion shall not be inspected at the nine gates of the imperial city; There is the holy decree of the prince who inherits the prince from generation to generation: there is the holy decree that the prince of Rui does not pay taxes when doing business; There is no need to ask anyone's holy decree ...... for any project that the prince of Rui operates. There are also three Danshu iron coupons to avoid death; There are also two holy decrees that scared the prince and Tian Liang, one of which is the edict of canonizing Prince Rui Fuyou in charge of the throne of the vassal kings of Heilongjiang, Jilin, Fengtian, Zhili, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangxi, and there is also a holy decree that is the edict of Shunzhi Zen: "I know that I have no emperor's ability, so Zen is located in the second emperor's brother Fuyou......" The holy decree alone filled a box and became a wonder of ancient and modern times. Who heard that the emperor gave a holy decree to his courtiers in a box?

It's worth it! The prince said to Tian Liang: "This king went to the palace to find the emperor. ”

"Slow down! You are calmed first. Your subordinates know that you have no intention of being superior, but if you refuse immediately at this time, the emperor will immediately turn against you. He was already anxious, maybe something had angered him, and he came to these holy decrees recklessly. Let's stop and wait until the time is right to explain our thoughts to him, anyway, he doesn't know that we will see it. Maybe this is the Queen Mother testing you, Wu Liangfu is the most greedy for money, and it is not impossible for the Queen Mother to buy him. The box is locked, and no one would have thought we would be able to open it. Let the master carry this thing to a safe place first, in case someone comes to confiscate it. If this box falls into the hands of the Queen Mother, it will be ironclad evidence that you have usurped power and seized the throne. No one will say that it was given to you by the emperor, you must say that you forged it yourself. And it's likely that this thing will save your life in the future, depending on when you use it. The subordinates looked at it, and the seal on it was indeed genuine. ”

The prince calmed down and felt reasonable. Wu Liangfu brought out a box from the palace, and those who saw it would think it was a reward from the emperor, and if he carried it back to the palace, he would be noticed. If the Queen Mother knew about this, I am afraid she would be mad.

Immediately found Yun'er, showed her the contents of the box, and then locked the box, and asked Yun'er to carry the box to the cave where three trucks of supplies were loaded in Mount Tai. Even the Imperial Forest Army can't find it no matter how much they check it.

After Wu Liangfu sobered up, he understood that Prince Rui didn't want to give him any receipt at all, and when the time came, no one would believe him if he told anyone what he had sent to Lord Rui. I wanted to use that box as a powerful weapon to extort money, but instead I got around it. Wu Liangfu can't keep his mouth shut about this matter. Because he didn't have any certificates, even the emperor didn't admit that he gave anything to the imperial brother. And Wu Liangfu really didn't know what was in the box, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense. (To be continued.) )
